Dr. Bean is the only board-certified exotic vet in the Twin Cities! He saved my rabbit's life with advanced surgery. The CT scan was crucial for diagnosis. Highly recommend!

Amazing exotic care! They had all the equipment needed to diagnose my bearded dragon's issue. Dr. Bean is incredibly knowledgeable and took time to explain everything.

The 24-hour emergency service for exotics is a lifesaver. They saw my parrot at 2 AM and the care was exceptional. Worth every penny!
