Definitely not an exotics vet. My bunny had a fractured jaw. My local vet could not see it but knew it. They completely missed it then when I said that there was something wrong with his jaw because he had been eating that morning, not only did they dismiss me but told me and I quote "you're not a vet ". I realize that hence why I brought him there however I sure as heck know when my bunny is not feeling right. Well I made the mistake of trusting them and not only did he have a fractured jaw but an infection from the lack of correct treatment. The infection turned to an abscess in days and actually pushed his eye out. He was rushed to emergency surgery at Tufts (a veterinary hospital I do highly recommend) where they saved his life but it cost him his eye and me an extra $3000. I actually called Ocean State to discuss it and they just offered to refund me $75 and didn't want to discuss it. I didn't care about the money. I didn't want another bunny to suffer because they ignored the one person that knows him best. Just as a side note their "exotics" specialist did her study with primates. While fascinating not of much use to people with bird and bunnies.
