Alexander Z. Aguila, DVM, DACVS

Dr. Aguila is a board-certified surgeon.  He completed his veterinary degree at the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University in 2000.  Following veterinary school, he completed a year-long internship in small animal medicine and surgery in Springfield, MA at Rowley Memorial Animal Hospital, and a year-long surgical internship in Pattersonville, NY at the Capital District Veterinary Surgical Associates.  Dr. Aguila then returned to Cornell, where he completed a 3-year residency in small animal surgery.  He earned board certification in small animal surgery in 2006.

Prior to joining ASCS in 2008, Dr. Aguila gained substantial experience in a wide variety of surgical procedures while in private practice for three years at Bay Area Veterinary Specialists in Houston.  He has lectured extensively to the veterinary community, both in academic and private practice settings, and his published works include studies exploring the biomechanics of locking compression plates.

In his free time, Dr. Aguila likes to spend time with his family, trying to get outside as often as possible to go hiking, camping, skiing, running, and expanding his newfound interest in cycling.  What better place than the Pacific Northwest to pursue these hobbies!
