I am quite please with Dr. Greg Burkett's service. His staff was very patient and kind. They were able to get us as a last minute walk in for my birds. He is a very calm vet. The clinic itself is more on the smaller sider however quite comfortable and clean. The only downside I would say is the price. This is the most expensive wellness check up even comparing to Avian and Exotic in Raleigh. Overall, good experience and I recommend this place for your bird needs.

Will never recommend this place and this doctor due to my personal experience. I took my cocktail to this doctor and he said he had much better medicine than vet emergency’s, and suggested my bird hospitalization. But he and his team cannot give the bird proper care. They mess up the weight of the bird, my bird was starving and dead after that! but everyday I called them, they gave me the answer is the my bird is getting better! How I could recommend the place like that! I hate myself why I brought my bird to this place to this doctor!

In 2022 I started traveling/work camping up and down the Eastern part of the US. Dr. Burkett has been a blessing to me and my 28 yo African Grey. His office always accommodates our crazy schedule. The method he uses to contain him while doing trims is like nothing I have ever seen. Izzy is a TOUCH ME NOT and usually screams his head off, but not at Dr. Burkett's office. Note: We were not moving when my funny guy decided he was gonna drive the bus.

I woke up to find that my 15 year old Macaw had completely plucked all the feathers off her back. In a bit of a panic, I called my normal avian vet, who told me this wasn’t really an emergency and I’d have to wait two weeks for an appointment. I was speechless, as I have been a customer for over 15 years. I called Dr Burkett and he understood my concerns, and even as a completely new patient he fit me in on a Saturday! A full workup later and my very aroused Macaw is now on a hormone therapy, and more importantly I have the peace of mind to know there isn’t an underlying medical condition. I have three large parrots, and they are all now patients of Dr. Burkett. I’m very happy to have found him, and to know that my parrots are under his excellent care.

My mom took her parrot here for a chest check up cause she was having trouble breathing. When my mom took her in she had high pitch whistle sounds when breathing. Mr. Burkett just said she was sick and gave her medicine and charged 150$ the very next day when we wake up she sadly passed. I highly recommended to go to experts that have equipment! It’s better to pay more then lose a loving member.
