I brought my baby Remy here for a growth removal, which was located on his chest. He did great coming out of surgery, and the follow-up appointment was detailed. Remy did end up having an infection, and there were a lot of back-and-forth appointments, but it was due to remy getting at the incision site. I'm just glad it's all over and he can be a regular rat again. I do appreciate everything everyone did for us, even a cheerful smile while walking through the door. Amazing place with amazing people!

I was desperately trying to find an open appointment for my sick guinea pig and was finally able to book one here. I had a 40 minute drive, all freeway which was quite a trip for me. The staff was very nice, welcoming, and attentive. I did have to wait a bit longer to see the vet tech/vet than I had anticipated but between the vet tech and the vet my piggies had a very thorough, comprehensive exams. I was very pleased with the services that my piggies and I received. I highly recommend this group and won't hesitate to make the drive again when necessary.

AMC helped my grandma’s birds. She’s so happy and I am so thankful. The birds are doing great. My grandma is 93 years old. She has 2 birds they weren’t doing too great. I took them in and they were diagnosed, got their meds they needed, along with a beak and nail trim. I was under a little bit of a unique circumstance and the staff and doctor worked with me to get both birds seen at the same time which I am SO, so very thankful for and so is my extended family who don’t live in Houston. Thank you very much everyone. My grandma was very happy and I was happy to see my grandma happy and her birds getting the care they needed and deserve. The birds are doing great.

I highly recommend Animal Medical Center of the Village for anyone with rabbits or exotic pets. 🐇 The staff is knowledgeable, kind, and always give my bunnies the right treatment. After a bad experience elsewhere that cost me one of my rabbits, I found this clinic and I’m so grateful they truly care. I’ve brought several of my bunnies here and they’ve always been well taken care of. 💕

I have been going to this clinic since January 2017. I have had nothing but positive experiences. Always enjoyed our visits with Meeka when she was there on her perch or on my shoulder while my critter and I waited to be called. The staff has always been super friendly and helpful. The doctors have all been great over the years. Dr. Leidy is our go to for any concerns with the exotic critters. I did not get to meet Dr.Russell at previous appointments I could not attend but I got very positive feedback.
