Marie Kubiak, works at our Edgbaston branch and has specialist knowledge of more unusual and exotic animals.

She spent two years as a first opinion exotics vet in Kent, before returning to GWEV as a resident of the European College of Zoological Medicine. Here she received three years of training to specialist standard in all aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery with particular focus on exotic animal species. She also saw both first opinion and referral exotic cases throughout this period. She has completed the RCVS certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice with distinction in both the Avian and Reptile examinations and a credit in small pet mammals. She is now studying for the European Diploma in Avian Medicine and Surgery. Marie has also received intensive training in poultry health with the Institute of Animal Health and regularly writes on poultry health for Smallholder magazine. She contributes to veterinary journals on exotic animal topics and is involved in various research projects investigating aspects health in avian and reptile groups.
Although Marie does treat the more conventional animals such as cats and dogs, she has particular interest in reptile medicine and surgery and has kept a variety of reptiles from tiny dwarf geckos to various large boa and monitor species but has down-sized following her move to Birmingham and currently has only a colony of sheltopusiks.
