Meet Our Doctors

Dr. Palazzolo

Dr. Ridgeway

Dr. Baccaro

Dr. Seto

Dr. Hsuan

Dr. Pluskat



Carl Palazzolo, D.V.M.

Dr. Palazzolo graduated from Michigan State University in 1978. after working in MI for 2 years he moved to California to be able to work more with exotic animals. In 1985 he completed his MBA from Pepperdine University. Dr. P has been at the LBAH since 1989.

Even though Dr. P works with all species, his main focus is laser medicine and feline medicine. Some of his feline patients are not so little though, as you can see from this picture of Eden, a Siberian tiger. In this picture she is 2 years old and weighs over 300 pounds. She used to come into the clinic for her medical care, but now Dr. P visits her where she lives. In the picture he just gave her a vaccine, and she is none too happy about it!

Dr. P also does conservation work throughout the world. He has worked with endangered species in Kenya, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Borneo, Idaho, and Yellowstone National Park.

Dr. P takes people on photographic workshops around the world. All are welcome to join us. He teaches advanced digital photography for those that are interested, although many non-photographers come on these trips and have a ball.
