Michael Huffaker, DVM

Huffaker completed his veterinary education at Midwestern University in Phoenix, Arizona. He then completed an internship in raptor medicine and surgery at the Raptor Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he triaged, treated, and rehabilitated birds of prey including hawks, owls, falcons, osprey, and eagles.

Now pursuing board-certification in avian medicine and surgery, Huffaker works closely with Hess and her veterinary team in New York on all manner of exotic pets. When not treating patients, Huffaker enjoys spending time with his own exotic animals: a rabbit, a snake, a frog, and a 3-legged hamster.
