Returning that year to NYC, he began practicing and held a special interest in birds and exotic animals. He worked at and owned the Shirley Veterinary Hospital, Shirley, NY from 1978- 2009. After many requests from clients, he opened the Long Island Fish Hospital in 1998 to care for the health of pet fish. Dr. Tepper served as Treasurer of the International Association for Aquatic Animal Medicine from 2006- 09, as an Officer on the Executive Board of the World Aquatic Veterinary Medical Association (WAVMA) since its formation in 2006 through 2012, and as President in 2011.
