Dr. Scott Amsel, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Amsel graduated from veterinary school at the University of California, Davis, in 1984, with a special focus on zoo and wildlife medicine. After postgraduate studies in epidemiology and preventive medicine he combined his time practicing small animal and emergency medicine with a wide variety of fascinating veterinary adventures working with wildlife across the globe including the Amazon, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Thailand!
In the years since then Dr. Amsel has been a staff veterinarian at the Los Angeles Zoo and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, run a private veterinary practice for animals working in the entertainment industry, provided veterinary supervision for two reality television shows about dogs, performed surgery at a number of low-cost spay and neuter programs, and continued attending to pets in private practice clinics like ours!
When not caring for others’ pets, both domestic and exotic, Dr. Amsel can be found spending precious time with his aging dog, teaching veterinary technician students, cruising southern California on his motorcycle and scuba diving.
