The staff was friendly. The vet did not seem to be clear on the feeding of giant breed rabbits. I was told that I should have stopped feeding alfalfa hay at 3 months when a giant rabbit should be on alfalfa until 6 months at the least. She wanted me to feed her vegetables every day as well (from weaning!) and those shouldn't be given until 6 months either as they cause all sorts of tummy issues. I had her treated for mites in her ear and they scraped all of the scabbing off and dosed her with kitten revolution which is fine and they gave her pain medication and sent us home. The problem being that she has mites again (a month later) and I find out today that revolution needs to be applied once a month for at least THREE DOSES to be effective and to catch the mites in each life stage. After reading the horror reviews on here and the fact that I need to go back to another vet now to have the dosage re-applied, I'm upset that I even took her there in the first place.

I took my bunny in today for an appointment and the staff were really nice, I was 20 minutes late and they didn't mind (I got lost). In the appointment my bunny but the doctor when she was checking his teeth and she didn't freak out, she remained calm and assured me that it was fine, he was just frightened. They were supportive of the fact that I don't have a lot of money on me and told me to just come back and grab the hairball treatment whenever I could, they didn't pressure me into buying a ton of different things. They also showed me how to cut my bunnies nails free of charge! I'm bringing him back her for sure :) they are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. They even gave me different diet advice for him. The check up was $85 and the neutering will be $260 with a cone, pain meds, nail treatment and coat treatment. I would prefer cheaper, but they are really good at what they do. If it keeps my baby healthy I'm okay with dishing out a few extra dollars.

When we got parrots we took them to Dr Phillips. She was not knowledgeable about the breed (she didn't know if it was a male or female Eclectus). She thought there was something wrong with him because he never freaked out when getting his nails done. Then we took our African Grey there for routine wing clip and nail trim. 10 minutes later she says my bird is in distress please come to the back. My bird was in an oxygen tank, hyperventilating. There were two young (late teens)girls standing there - these were the "vet techs" who were trimming his nails. Well I guess they handled him poorly and he freaked out. Anyway as I was talking to her in the office, they came in to say my bird had died. Boom - 15 minutes after I walked in. Then she tried to tell me that my bird must have been sick, and I should have told her, otherwise the would not have started any procedures at all. That was the last time I was ever there, and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER would I go back for any reason.

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a vet clinic close to home. My dog had been a long-time patient at two great clinics in his 11 years and so I didn't have any reason not to trust a new vet. While I think the care he received was good - I was SHOCKED when the receptionist told me the cost of this routine visit. I have never been charged this much for routine tests (my dog has these tests done every 3 months and the bill was triple what it was at his previous vet's office). I will be returning to the old vet and making the trip across town. I don't feel that the care my dog received here is any better than it was previously and for the amount I paid, I would expect EXCEPTIONAL care and service. The staff and vet were friendly, but I felt were deceptive in adding costs - they cleaned my dog's ears without asking me and charged me $40 for it. I would have said no thanks if they had asked first. For this reason, they get a 2/5.

Went there to get my beardie looked at,leaving with a 500+ bill. When trying to get the records faxed to my regular vet, they refused to send records without getting 38 dollars first! Although I recommended many clients from the clinic I work at now, I will not be sending any more business towards them. I believe they're in it for the money, not the animals.

We would highly recommend this pet clinic dr.philips is very knowledgable and kind she seemed to always be available when needed. We were very pleased with our experience with this pet clinic and soon became close with all the staff. They want the best for the animals and will do everything in their power to help!

I have been taking all of my pets to Dr. Phillips for years. She is professional and friendly, though sometimes her "bedside manner" may be a bit gruff (which I have come to expect of many human and animal doctors). The staff is friendly and they take the time to be thorough. She is also a very good surgeon and extremely knowledgable when it comes to treating exotic pets. My ONLY complaint would be that due to it being a one-vet clinic, sometimes it can be hard to get an appointment on short notice or in an emergency. But I have always been happy with the quality of care my pets have received.
