Dr McKinnon was very sweet, gentle and compassionate with our adopted cutie. She is very knowledgeable and we never felt rushed with the time we were visiting. She was patient and answered all our questions as a new bird parents. She even spent time to send follow up email for all the matters we discussed in during the visit. We really appreciate the clinic. All the staff were very kind too

I can’t recommend them enough I have taken multiple pet rats here and they have been amazing. Very kind and compassionate and understanding of what it’s like to be a pet owner. Highly communicative and clearly care about the well being of the animals they see.

We have a 15 year old parrot that had badly cut a toe. The staff got us in quickly, the veterinarian was extremely helpful and understood our concerns. He treated our Kala with compassion and helped get us all through the upsetting experience. Highly recommend this avian team!

Staff were super accommodating so my rabbit could hop around and have his examination at ground level. Dr. Sarah was thorough and caring throughout the visit, I appreciated her expertise. Will return again. Thank you.

We have been attending this vet for years with our array of pets - starting with our bearded dragon - our 7 year old son's gift, the beardie ran into very serious health issues which were attended to with exception specialized pet care back in the day. We now attend with our 2 bulldogs and love the office. They are always mindful of cost, and balancing good judgement with efficiency. Love this team! Strongly recommend.

Dr. Sarah and the whole team took incredible care of my little bunny. Throughout the day he spent there, they provided me with regular updates on his progress and always treated him with kindness and respect. I can't thank them enough for all they have done for us!
