My sweet little parakeet Kiwi wasn't feeling so hot so I made an appointment and they did SUCH a great job!!! Turns out he was OK but the stress of a schedule change and molting made him a little tired. Just to be sure they did a slide of his droppings and what really stands out is they could have said something like "Oh he needs bloodwork etc." but this is NOT that kind of vet. They do NOT recommend all kinds of tests to get your money. They tell you what they think and see and only offer to perform a test that is actually needed. (In my case it was to make sure he wasn't getting an infection or missing some nutrition) They gave us some handouts and information and really spent the time to make sure ALL our questions were answered. I think we were in there for 40 minutes just peppering Dr. Nielson with a million questions. She is wonderful and I think our tech's name was Bridget? Gosh I forget but she was also wonderful at catching Kiwi without him hurting himself flapping around the cage. I really can't say enough about this place. We live in Northeast D.C. and still travel all the way there because nobody else is qualified enough for our little angel Kiwi!!!
