Dr. Astrid Bigio Marcello

Dr. Astrid grew up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where her love of animals started at an early age. She knew she wanted to become a veterinarian after volunteering every summer at her pets’ veterinary clinic and working with a board-certified veterinary surgeon.

Dr. Astrid completed her undergraduate studies in Mayaguez, PR and received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2009 from Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine. She performed two additional years of internship training in Missouri and Illinois. She then returned to LSU for another residency and became Board Certified by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) in the specialty of Medical Oncology in 2014.

Dr. Astrid worked as a medical oncologist at MedVet in New Orleans for the past decade. She has now retired from her New Orleans job to be back in Thibodaux taking care of her family.

Dr. Blake and Dr. Astrid met at LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 2008. They are the proud parents of one son and two daughters. Dr. Astrid enjoys traveling, and when she has some free ‘me’ time, she likes reading and shopping.

    Rita Couch

  • “The staff here is incredible! I called with an emergency for my baby and was immediately given an appointment. When I arrived, they took us straight to the back and examined her right away. The doctor explained everything that needed to be done and worked quickly. After the procedure was finished, I was called to pick her up. The service was exceptional, and the price was surprisingly affordable! I expected it to be expensive and was shocked at the total. I’m definitely switching to this clinic for future care. It’s rare to find such amazing care at such an affordable price! "
