I have had two bad experiences with this hospital. They tend to go ""all in"" for the worst possible scenerio when making a diagnosis, resulting in excessive stress to the patient and owner plus expensive bills. Avian medicine is highly specialized and it is easy to trust someone who holds a special certification. Any responsible owner would want to do the right thing for a beloved pet however the approach at this place does not necessarily benefit the bird and indeed seems to exploit the owner's concern. I have communicated with several bird owners who share my opinion and who have had similar experiences here.
Please do your pet a favor and go to Medical Center for Birds / Dr. Speer in Oakley or Dr. Rupiper in Petaluma. It is worth driving farther, especially if you have a serious health issue with your pet bird.
Cons: Aggressive Approach / Questionable Ethics
