Dr Korber and her team are extremely gifted, caring and intelligent people. My Quaker Parakeet had a life threatening egg-bind situation. These amazing people not only diagnosed the problem, but brought her through the challenges of surgery and aftercare in the most loving, generous ways possible. My beloved girl is alive because of them. I highly recommend Calgary Avian and Exotic Pet Clinic to everyone who is blessed to own a bird. Thank you Dr Korber and team!!!!

Both Dr Materi and Dr Korber are not only professional and knowledgeable, but they have provided our birds with excellent care. I am allowed in the room when nails and wings are done (bad experience at another vet where my parrot died when in for a nail trim). I find their fees reasonable, staff friendly too. Never had a bad experience there. Dr Materi once spent over half hour with me just discussing my bird's behaviour issues, giving me excellent advice that corrected the problem. Never go anywhere else!

After taking my bunny to Calgary North for over a year and shelling out quite literally thousands of dollars to deal with her ongoing tooth troubles and resulting GI stasis, we thought we should look for another vet clinic that focused on preventative care. Dr. Materi is always so gentle with our rabbit and very patient with us. Our bunny has gone months without an episode due to regular tooth trims and alternative medication (which never would have happened at Calgary North, which is quick to dole out medication but slow to effectively diagnose a problem) and we couldn't be more pleased with the treatment she has received. It has been so wonderful to find a clinic that is honest and affordable and has patient, knowledgeable staff that is ready to help. Thank you Avian Exotic!

I will never take my bunnies anywhere other than this clinic. The staff have gone out of their way to help me and my bunnies through so much. I can't say enough wonderful things about them all! They have saved the lives of some of my fur-kids and helped me through the loss of others. I have 2 terminally ill buns that would have passed a year ago had it not been for the treatment and care they receive at this clinic.

Thanks Dr. Leticia Materi. My rabbit was put down and it was shock for me. She was so gently and did what she can to help me take this situation. As a specialist she is excellent - I believed each her word!!! I would recommend her!!!!

Have not had good experiences with either vets here. Will (over)charge for anything they can! Very overpriced, as they know exotic pet owners don't have many alternate places to take their animals. Raised prices excessively for routine treatment (teeth trims) for my small rodents without prior notification. Physically injured one of my animals (dropped on floor, received a cut, then charged me for meds for the injury they caused). When I had the records transferred to another vet, found out they had nicked my animals tongue during a tooth trim and NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT! He was in poor health at the time and may have needed meds to prevent infection from the cut they caused. I asked multiple times to be present when they trimmed their teeth but was never allowed to. WOULD NEVER TAKE MY ANIMALS HERE AGAIN.

I have brought both my bunnies to Dr. Korber and she is awesome!! Super nice, and knowledgeable. Called several different exotic vets and price is about the same so reasonably priced - except for nail trims I think a little overpriced - $30 for a 5 min procedure. Overall, superb experience because I have brought my buns to other vets because they hate car rides and and Avian is so far from my house, but had to always go back because my buns are most comfortable there.

I have been taking my birds to this clinic for years and would NEVER go anywhere else! Dr. Korber and Dr. Materi are the BEST exotic vets around. I have NEVER had any issue talking to either of them or the staff. If my pet has a health concern OF COURSE they need to be seen, getting medical advice over the phone from anywhere is DANGEROUS!! ALL the staff are professional, courteous, knowledgeable and compassionate. For an exotics specialty clinic the prices are very reasonable and exotics is ALL they do! I give this clinic & staff two HUGE thumbs up and I THANK them for always going above and beyond the call of duty!

Phone for information am on disability, site said would consider pymt plan was told by staff they don't do this anymore would be a $80 charge no advise told to take bird to human society and they would put up for adoption. Bird had a cold recieved proper information from Petland bird is fine now no thanks to the staff at this clinic would never take an animal to them just in it for the money no compassion. You can have best facilities but with ignorant staff you don't get my vote. The vets should really check out their staff closer this was last friday.Feb 3 2011 should be repremanded if not fired would not recommend anyone to take animal their

Fantastic vets! Professional, exceptional bird skills, explained all tests and procedures to me, and above all, they really care about their patients. This is the ONLY place I would take my birds!

After 13yrs of health, Cockatoo began severe, life-threatening self mutilation. Drove from Edm to Calg with highly stressed parrot on advise of local Avian Vet. I advised of dietary change 4 months prior-no other change to household. He was malnourished by this time-the vet jumped to the conclusion that I was a bad owner and doing everything wrong-all tests were negative ($1500 worth). They did not recommend a spherical collar or behavior modifation meds, they did prescribe anti-inflammatory/biotics (remember all tests were negative). 18 months later-tried everything/spoke to any/everyone-I found an online article about parrot food allergies-showing as mutilation 6+ months after diet change. He nearly killed himself for 18 months over a FOOD ALLERGY. A food allergy the SPECIALIST DR. MATERI didn't even consider. Parrot is in perfect health/weight now-significant improvement was within 24hrs of removing allergy causing food. She would not hear/listen-my parrot nearly died as a result.
