I’m glad I researched for a good vet. Especially one for an exotic pet, a conure. My family rescued Pepito. Pepito’s health declined suddenly so search near and far for an exotic vet but everyone said they were booked or sending me to the place with low reviews. Then I found Heal, the receptionist said they were booked for the day but could be seen the next day and took all the information about what was going on. We arrive to the clinic and the receptionist is nice, checks us in. We then meet Dr. Dumas she introduces herself and asks the right questions to determine what could be going on with Pepito. Explained what tests should be done and why, so we do it all. Once the results came back, we find out Pepito is in critical condition. Dr. Dumas lets me know what should be done, go to the medical center that I saw bad reviews and I tell her I’m not comfortable taking Pepito there and she understands my frustration and said I could try to nurse him at home but there’s a chance Pepito might not make progress. Dr. Dumas never judged my decision or coerced me into what she thought was best. I was determined to help Pepito get better. Dr. Dumas gave me food that could help Pepito.. After one day, he was like new! The bird that was weak, lethargic and just sleeping was now hopping around and eating. After 3 days Pepito was flying again. The clinic was always asking for Pepito’s progress and I let them know everyday seemed better. A revisit was scheduled the next week and Dr. Dumas was so happy to see that Pepito was more energetic. Bloodwork was done again and everything was going way better. Thank you Dr. Dumas and team for being friendly, patient and helpful on Pepito’s care.
