Preventive care

I took my bearded dragon here for a sick visit. The doctor and other staff members were very kind and caring! (**UPDATE**) 07/20/2023 I took my dog here as she was not feeling well. Dr green was quick at identifying the problem it was an emergency surgery situation she was very caring and prompt and rallied for my dog about immediately getting her on the schedule for surgery as time was critical. Dr. Karen Leshkivich was willing to perform a life saving surgery on my dog at almost no notice. I am forever grateful for this practice!! The entire staff is wonderful and very helpful. I love maddydale animal hospital. Do not hesitate to bring your fur babies here. They truly care!!

My 18 yr old daughter had a leopard gecko she loved which got sick with what looked like stick tale syndrome. She found this vet who will see exotic animals. They charged her $71 (of her hard earned money) for a visit, only to tell her the lizard looked fine (after lizard had been listless, having diarrhea, losing tail density). She brought a poop sample which they said they could not use. She asked about bringing another sample back and they told her she could if she wanted. The lizard was dead 2 days later.

Called 5 different places. They were the only vet within an hour drive that would take birds and in an emergency on such short notice that wasn't an existing patient. My female parakeet was bound with 2 eggs when she had never had eggs before after 8 years of having my birds. They got me into my appointment earlier than expected, and she's making a chipper recovery after isolating a bit in a separate cage. And the price for everything including xrays and treatment was amazingly affordable. The staff were friendly and informative, and I will definitely be keeping them as my vet and would recommend them. Such a wonderful job. (Pictured: Blue Female=Kotori, and Yellow Male=Lemon Pledge)

Been going here awhile and tried to switch vets to a closer one in Seneca Falls but was treated horrible and shamed for my dogs teeth and weight. Started making the 45min drive to continue care with this vet and they made it so worth it 😁 vet was so sweet and told me 80%of min pins have dental problems (and she's Almost 11) and that her weight was not too bad then they cleaned her teeth spotless! We are so pleased my girl is definitely happier

This hospital is not only rude! But is very dismissive! They only take care of the problem you are coming in today but not what could happen in the future. My rabbit is sick and my father called saying what can we do? The receptionist was so rude saying there was nothing they can do! Just being do rude. It's not the first time they have been so rude. But they have been doing unnecessary x-rays 110 each time. Went to another vet saying they don't need to do x-rays! Bc they can do blood work instead and find better treated that way!!!
