Looking for an exotic or avian vet in El Paso, TX? I’ve put together a list of all the veterinary practices and animal hospitals I could find in the El Paso area that have avian specialists at the time of publishing.
If you’re raising domestic birds, such as parrots, chickens, ducks, etc, it’s important to know if you have an avian vet in your area should you need one.
Emergency or not, not all vets will treat birds. They’re very different from cats and dogs, which is why some vets specialize in this area of medicine.
I hope this list helps you locate a veterinary practice for your bird!:

TLC Animal Hospital is a small animal hospital that has left a big impression on the local community. Founded in 1978, the practice is now headed up by Dr. Vicki Dashley and Dr. Alfredo Lara.

I know how hard it can be to find an avian vet you trust with your beloved pets. But, hopefully, with the list or veterinary practices above it’s not a difficult decision for you.
