Best exotic vet in the Birmingham area! They've been caring for my parrot for years. The staff is knowledgeable, caring, and truly understands bird medicine.

I drive an hour to bring my bearded dragon here and it's worth every mile. They're one of the few vets that really know reptile care. Highly recommend!
