R. Cecil, DVM, DABVP-Avian
Board Certified in Avian Medicine
Dr. Todd Cecil will be the March 12th,

Physiology of Turtles and Tortoises. Dr Cecil is a great lecturer and
will help us understand these fascinating, complex creatures. You

Prior to attending
veterinary school, Dr. Cecil worked as a zookeeper at the San
Francisco Zoological Society where he developed a keen interest in
the exotic species. He graduated from veterinary school at UC Davis
in 1994, with a focus on zoological medicine. Todd then completed an
internship in avian/exotic animal medicine and surgery, and a
postdoctoral fellowship at Mississippi State. After completion, Dr.
Cecil returned to San Diego to practice avian and exotic medicine
exclusively, joining the Pet Emergency and Specialty Center
(locations in La Mesa and Chula Vista) in 2006. He is very active in
local organizations that support the care, ownership and rescue of
exotic pets and wildlife.
