Our lop-eared rabbit Squeak had a severe ear infection extending into the bone of his skull. Dr. Tyson skillfully performed a TECABO to remove the diseased bone and guided us through recovery. Most importantly, Dr. Tyson saved Squeak's life. Two years later, he's doing better than ever.

Dr. Tyson is intelligent, an excellent communicator, innovative, and compassionate. She's been caring for my turtle Chuck and tortoise Daisy for almost 10 years. One of her best qualities is that she treats every case as an opportunity to educate. She's helped me grow in my career and connected me with her network of professionals. Top notch Doc and even better mentor!

When our Mexican Green Conure Francis fell and injured her leg, we couldn't find anyone to treat her until we found AEMSC. They saw Francis the same day! The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Francis healed beautifully. We will never take her anywhere else.
