Dr. Emmanuelle Asrow, DVM
Originally from Chicago, Dr. Asrow is excited to return to San Diego and join the team at Pet Hospital of Penasquitos.
Dr. Asrow earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. During veterinary school, she pursued additional training in exotic animal medicine and developed a particular interest in working with African penguins. After graduation, she completed a rotating veterinary internship in New York City, followed by a specialty internship in exotic animal medicine and emergency care here in San Diego.
She went on to complete an ABVP Avian Residency in Phoenix at the Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital. She received training in all areas of exotics practice with a focus on avian medicine. As one of her favorite parts of her residency, Dr. Asrow also volunteered with a wildlife rehabilitation center, where she gained additional experience treating wildlife including raptors.
Dr. Asrow’s clinical interests include avian nutrition, behavioral enrichment, surgery, pain management, and raptor medicine.
Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Asrow enjoys spoiling her kitties, live music, and dancing.
