Dr. Adolf Maas moved back to western Washington from the Midwest in 2006, after having worked at many locations over the last 10 years in the eastern half of the United States. Originally from the Seattle area, he attended Seattle Pacific University for his undergraduate and the University of Washington and University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine for his graduate and veterinary medical schooling. Since then, he has worked at and received advanced training at the Pittsburgh Zoo, Toronto Zoo, Louisville Zoo, the Wildlife Care Center (Fort Lauderdale), has provided consultant work for the Indianapolis Zoo and the Cincinnati Zoo, and was a clinician at the Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic (Indianapolis, Indiana) and the Indianapolis Veterinary Referral Center, one of the highest ranked referral and specialty facilities in the Midwest. Additionally, until moving, he was the owner of Exotic and Companion Animal Veterinary Services, a mobile exotics-only practice in Indiana, providing in-home and on-site care to owners of all exotic animals, ranging from snakes, venomous lizards, tigers, deer, elk, wolves, mountain lions and bears to pet birds, skunks, and marine fish.
Dr. Maas has received advanced training and has extensive experience in orthopedic reconstruction and surgery, cardiac and abdominal ultrasonography, rigid and flexible endoscopy, soft tissue surgery and internal medicine. He works diligently to continue to be not only current on advancements in avian and exotic animal medicine, but also to further the progress of medicine in these animals with continued cutting-edge research and publications. Over the last fifteen years, he has co-authored research articles ranging from reproduction in Sumatran Rhinoceri and ophthalmic surgery in snakes to cellular growth factor regulation and identification of novel fungal infections in exotic species.
The Center for Bird and Exotic Animal Medicinel in Bothell, Washington is the culmination of many years of research and training and is founded in these basic philosophies:
Always treat each and every animal no different than if it was one's own pet.
Always show each person the respect and consideration that one would expect if roles were reversed.
Always strive to recommend and provide the best quality medicine available.
