My 42-year-old Amazon wasn't feeling well. Then I saw something frightening in her mouth! As I drove to the appointment, I was afraid she would need to be euthanized, and I was very sad. But Dr. Medlin has tremendous knowledge and skill. With the capable assistance of Sidney, he extracted the tumors, as well as performed a nasal flush, Vitamin A injection, and nail and beak trim. All was done gently without anesthesia or trauma. My pet feels so much better today! And I look forward to many more years of enjoying Inca. Additionally, I felt the charges were reasonable. Thank you Dr. Medlin, Sidney, and sweet receptionist Selena.

I take my hedgehog here and I appreciate the care and knowledge this office has. I let Google take over my brain and convince me that my hedgehog had a tumor. Now I can rest my mind knowing he is okay !! Figaro loves yall! Also had my chameleon cremated here (rip) I did not expect the service to put his claw and tail print into clay. I got in my car and cried when I saw it. it really made it so special to have that. People kept telling me “it’s just a lizard.” But you guys understand that it wasn’t JUST a lizard. 💕

We had our girl Penny in for a checkup. Dr Medlin did a thorough job checking her out. The staff was terrific as well.

My Sun Conure was not doing well after the having him for 31 years. I brought him to Dr Medlin's practice a few times. The staff and doctor were very accommodating and caring towards my pet bird. They also took care of my bird's cremation. It was very hard picking up my bird's ashes. I was so surprised to find a sympathy card from all of the office staff and doctor for my pet bird's passing It was very comforting and I was thrilled with their thoughtfulness!

We have had big lizards (Iguana's) since 1991. 2 years ago we obtained a baby Rhino Iguana, we named him Rex. Rex loves blueberries for treats. Long story short, Rex was running around the house, playing with the dog. I was cleaning a monitor enclosure and the terrarium knob lock rolled on the floor. I assume Rex thought it was a blueberry and before I could get it, Rex decided to eat it! This morning, Dr. Medlin did emergency surgery and retrieved the metal knob lock from his intestines. Rex is in recovery. Dr. Medlin called us with progress throughout the procedure and kept us informed of what was going on. We got progress reports from the office manager Kenda. The office staff and animal techs were outstanding. It almost felt to easy. We have many contacts in the reptile community in Southwest Florida and will always recommend Dr. Medlin and his staff when you need urgent, emergent or preventative care for your reptiles.
