Aubrey “Nickie” Baird

Dr. Baird opened up a whole new world of camelid and bovine surgery. I still enjoy these surgeries today and think of my days with him as mentor fondly.

Dr. Baird was a mentor by being a rock throughout my residency and career.

He expected 110% from you and returned 200% in your training. Always there to help you develop critical surgical and thinking skills that were expected to be practiced every day of your residency. He is the guiding light and wealth of knowledge deep into our careers.

Dr. Baird became my formal residency mentor in 2013. He quickly became a life mentor for me. I know that I can still turn to him for guidance on almost any life decision.

Nickie has been a career mentor for me that always took the time to give advice and guidance whenever needed. He is a gifted teacher and role model.
