This is an exceptional business. Treatment of my pet was very professional and thorough. I very much appreciated the follow up calls at home.

The Veterinary Center for Birds & Exotics is the best Veterinary I ever went too! I wish I found it sooner, I been there for almost 3 years! The reception Angela and the Staff are very loving people and are very caring! The waiting room is relaxing when you walk in with all the beautiful statues, their are exotic parrots in the waiting room Eclectus Parrot and a African Grey keeping us company when we wait. The exam rooms are spotless when you walk in, knowing the rooms are sterilize to prevent the spread of infection to one animal to another and knowing our Birds & Exotics are safe from any of the microorganisms in or on the environment to prevent the spread of infection gives me relieve! Dr. Hess... what can I say I love her the first day I met her! Dr. Hess lets me know before the exam what she is going to do and why! Dr. Hess does the exam and the blood work right in front of you and my birds are always calm when I am in the room with them! I love it when Dr. Hess and the Vet Techs pays close attention to my parrots if they have any signs of stress, Dr. Hess will give my birds a break to rest... she is very gentle with the Birds and Exotics! Dr. Hess and the Staff also uses a Bovie Pen to do the nails less stressful and it's much quieter on the birds and exotics then using a grinder! Dr. Hess and Dr. Ravich literally treated my DYH Amazon Parrot in 5 days required treatment twice a day of medications for Lead Poison, my Amazon stayed at the Center 5 days, I dropped my Amazon Parrot off in the mornings and picked up my Amazon Parrot at nights to take him home! In 5 days of treatment my Amazon is lead free thanks to Dr. Hess and Dr. Ravich I can't thank them enough! I highly Recommend The Veterinary Center for Birds & Exotics! They have updated equipment and the most important thing you will leave there is the best Medical Care for your Birds & Exotics and a lot of Information about the care of your animal!

I've been bringing my guinea pigs to Dr. Hess for over 11 years. Recently, my nearly seven-year old guinea pig became ill, and was diagnosed with four concurrent health conditions, any single one of which could have been potentially fatal if left untreated. With the help of Dr. Hess and the phenomenal staff at the Exotics center, my guinea pig is now fully recovered. Her heart disease is being monitored and controlled with medication, and the other three issues have all gone away completely. Much of the credit for this has to go to vet tech Peggy Nardone, who spent several hours feeding and caring for my sick guinea pig over the span of an entire week. I'd take care of the pig each night, and I'd drop her off during the day so I could go to work. Without the fantastic care provided by everyone at the Exotics center, my guinea pig surely would have died. This was just one of the many positive experiences I've had as a client. Dr. Hess has a great philosophy regarding medication, and is always cautious not to overprescribe treatments that aren't necessary and could cause more harm than good. The facility is state of the art, and the x-ray machine is designed specifically for small animals, so the resolution of the images produced is much greater than you'd get if took your small animal to a regular dog & cat vet for x-rays. There's an in-house lab for analyzing samples, and scheduled ultrasound is available, although only on certain days of the week. Unscheduled sonograms may be available for emergencies, but I've never had the need for this. However, the equipment is on-site. Anything that can't be analyzed or prescribed in-house can be sent out to an affiliate lab, pharmacy, or hospital. I live in close proximity to the Exotics center, but many other people travel great distances to obtain the best care available for their furry and feathered friends. It's definitely worth it.

Best place on Earth

This clinic is fantastic. Dr. Hess and her staff provide the highest quality care. I would highly recommend any bird or exotic pet owner take their pet to the Center even if they have to travel a bit. It's well worth the time.
