Midwest Bird and Exotic Animal Hospital

Midwest Bird and Exotic Animal Hospital took excellent care of both me and my cockatiel Koko during a minor emergency. Koko is a special needs girlie and gets daily meds. While administering her oral medication, I accidentally got some up her nose (note to the pet parents of tiny critters... slow and steady wins the medication administration race). My primary vet, Chicago Exotics, did not have the space for her that day. MBEAH came through in a pinch. I was able to bring Koko in and their kind team treated her and kept her overnight for monitoring. Dr. Biancalana provided text and phone updates even though there were several emergencies and surgeries on her agenda. The front desk team were kind, helpful, and informative. I recommend Midwest Bird and Exotic Animal Hospital to anyone

FIND ANY OTHER PRACTICE!! Midwest Exotics killed my healthy bearded dragon July 2025. One of the doctors performed a routine procedure of expressing my beardie’s impacted femoral pores and went too hard, sent him home to me covered in blood, and he became septic and unresponsive within a day. I had to rush back and have him euthanized. They charged me almost a grand. During his euthanasia, a tech at Midwest Exotics told me that doing such an intense procedure all at once on an older reptile like they did is too stressful on their bodies and can cause heart failure. The “professionals” who performed the extractions the day and a half prior should have been well aware of that and given me informed consent. I typically do the extractions myself over the course of a week, but his pores were

Had an emergency visit today to treat my python and every other pet hospital within an hour was closed for the weekend at only 2 PM, but not here! Little Rotini was extremely well taken care of, and quite promptly too. All the staff were extremely well-educated, friendly, sweet, and patient. His vet, Dr. Mueller, explained everything thoroughly and was wonderfully empathetic, relating to a similar case her own snake had dealt with and recovered from. I'd called at least eight or nine other vets looking for someone who could treat a ball python, only to be turned to other locations or meet an answering machine. I was able to get an emergency visit scheduled here within about an hour. The visit was a little costly but it *was* an emergency visit, and in my opinion it was a small and reasonab

I've had a guinea pig die after waiting 2 hours for an emergency appointment because they didn't think it was an emergency and they continued to take regular appointments. Thankfully the guinea pig i took in today didn't have an emergency, he had a scheduled appointment. But I still waited while countless animals came in and out. After an hour of still waiting someone came in for a bird appointment cause it had been laying eggs. They were able to go right in and be seen immediately (i heard the doctor in the next room). The employees bring their personal pets in too. Are paying customers or animals with emergencies waiting so you can take care or your own pet? Do you guys take appointments based on favorites? Do you just not care about certain animals? Response to business: When I came in
