I just wonder how we find vets that do the surgeries that are more challenging?
In humans, we have avenues to follow and we get recommendations from other doctors.
How do we do this with our animals?
How do we find the state of the art medical facility?
Yes they do. There are fewer than 100 residency-trained avian specialists in the world. My wife went to Royal Veterinary College, University of London England.I just wonder how we find vets that do the surgeries that are more challenging?

Exactly!...what my wife told me too.There are also vets that specialize in surgery for all species, and might do an operation in consultation with an avian vet of lesser surgical expertise. For example, I take Audrey my blind 'tiel to a specialist in veterinary ophthalmology. Should he ever need his eyes operated on, she will do it, with my avian vet consulting to provide anesthesia monitoring etc.
Dr. Driggers takes a blood pressure on Jasper twice a year. She has cardiovascular disease and a few years ago he discovered that her blood pressure had gone up to 134 (normal 150). He immediately changed her cardio/vascular medication, which brought her BP under control.Years ago I saw a post of a picture of a blood pressure reading on an Amazon at Dr. O's.
I would go to a University hospital. The one that @jmfleish goes to is really good.Is there such a thing?
Do you know?
