Speaker: Anna Osofsky
Credentials: DVM, DABVP (Avian Practice)
Dr. Anna Osofsky attended veterinary school at UC Davis, performed a small animal rotating internship at LSU, and completed a residency in companion avian and exotic pet medicine at UC Davis. She has been an ABVP-Avian diplomate since 2004. In 2005, her husband relocated the family to Texas, where she started a now thriving exotic practice as an associate veterinarian at Carrollton West Pet Hospital. But what is really important (ok maybe in addition to her two human kids) is her cockatoo, Quigley, who she has had since college. He is a jerk but well loved and he has starred in many an AAV handout, Facebook post, and even went viral on TikTok once.
