★★★★★ 5.0 Lexi B · Dec 2025

I was recommended this place by a friend when my hamster passed away, because I was looking for cremation services. The front desk crew are all extremely empathetic and kind. I was so blessed to be welcomed and sent off by such sweet people. I may have scurried off because I was embarrassed to be crying, but the kindness had quite the impact on my grief and I highly recommend this clinic. If I am to get another pet, I will surely make this my go-to place for check-ups. RIP Meatball, thank you so much to the folks here for making such a heart-wrenching loss feel much more bearable

the diagnosis’s here are never good. I feel like they are only there for the $$$. I’ve struggled to find genuine exotic vet’s since 2020 i began bringing my guinea pigs ( 4 ) here. My first guinea pig died 6 months ago after SEVERAL and i mean MORE THAN 4 Appointments within the year trying to figure out why my guinea pig wasn’t gaining weight, she just kept getting more and more skinny but all she did was eat. Only thing they ever said was oh just feed her more, and give her more vitamin C. Mind you all she did was eat, all she did was consume plenty of vitamin C. But they continued to charge us over and over again sending us home with nothing until one day she just died. My other guinea pig was put down today due to a massive tumor. But I’ve taken her here multiple times in the past year

I brought my red eared slider Rufus in with an eye infection. Dr. Gillette saw him promptly, evaluated him, and prescribed antibiotic shots. His eye is back to normal now and he is doing great. All the staff were also very kind and helpful. Thank you!

Avian and Exotic has saved my elder rabbit’s life on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, as my rabbit has gotten older he is more prone to GI stasis. The very first time he went into GI stasis I took him to an emergency vet in the middle of the night that claimed to care for exotics and charged me a thousand dollars just to tell me he was dying and that they were unable to place an IV (after shaving both front legs). I called Avian and Exotic the moment they opened the next day and they were able to nurse him back to health while keeping me informed of his progress multiple times a day. My rabbit has been treated by all of the doctor’s and I have felt comforted and informed every time. There is no one else I trust with my rabbit. Their boarding has also come in handy and brings peace of min

I’ve had nothing but great experiences at Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital, and I truly trust them with my birds’ lives. I bring my conures here for regular care, and the level of bird-specific knowledge and attention has consistently been excellent, and often goes above-and-beyond my expectations which I really appreciate. Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital is the only place I fully trust with my birds. I’ve brought my conures here for years for checkups, and the avian expertise is on another level. Recently, a firework scared my male conure and he bit his sister, causing a severe leg injury—muscle torn to the bone, no movement in her leg or foot. I stabilized her at home with styptic and surgical glue, rushed to a nearby ER to further stabilize, and they recommended amputation. I instead wai
