Animal and Bird Medical Center of Palm Harbor

I have been breeding and showing dogs for 28 years . I just moved to the area and took my macaw for a well check . In all my years I never ever met a vet as kind and caring as Dr Murphy . What great knowledge and true compassion. I am so very thankful

Extremely compassionate Doctor. Without establishing with this vet office at all, I reached out to them the morning they opened back up after hurricane Milton. They got me in immediately at 11 am due to my older ferret having a severe seizure the night before. They welcomed us with open arms and were so gentle and informative. The doctor kept it honest with us that the best course of action would be to put him to sleep and was super caring throughout the appointment. The doctor was very educated and experienced even with being young, its really inspiring to know how knowledgeable she is. Finding a doctor that treats "exotic" pets is already rare. However, to find one so incredibly empathetic and educated is impressive. After making him comfortable and putting him to sleep they respectfully gave their condolences and gently informed us of the next course of action. After we got home, a few days later we received a card in the mail of sympathies for our loss. The staff and the doctor was incredible and treated us as if we have been established for years, just on our first appointment. When the time comes we will be formally establishing other pets here. Top notch care, and honest compassionate people.

I moved to St Petersburg from California with Toto and I was looking for the best avian vet in Florida. And I found him!! Dr. Joel Murphy is so knowledgeable, caring, and thoughtful. During our first visit, he went over his diet and history. He gave me excellent recommendations on Toto's diet, probiotics, and herbal supplements. I don't like to travel much because I don't like leaving Toto since caring for a bird can be complicated. Luckily, Dr Murphy offers boarding for birds and I have left Toto with him during a work trip. Dr Murphys staff went above and beyond, they sent me pictures and email updates each day which calmed my nerves. And per Toto's report card, he didn't miss me while I was away 🥺. Which honestly made me very happy and made me feel secure that Toto was being treated well. Toto loves Dr. Murphy and we are so lucky to have found him!

I really want to thank Dr. Schroder and the staff at the center. They're always so helpful and caring whether I'm calling with follow-up questions or trying to schedule a last minute appointment when my budgie is really struggling with his health. Despite being a busy office, I always feel like my budgie is given proper attention and I really appreciate how knowledgeable and empathetic Dr. Schroder is. You can tell she really cares about her patients and takes the time to help pet owners make informed decisions about their animal companions. Thank you all so much!! ❤️

I brought my 2 yr old Quaker Parrot to Dr. Murphy. I just wanted a basic exam and to gain knowledge on how to best care for our new addition. He was so kind and knowledgeable. I really appreciate how he took the time to educate me on care. He went over feeding (we're switchingto pellets) , and housing and entertaining our bird. He educated me on proper nutrition. I never felt pressured to receiving anything I did not want. They gave me a tour of the back. I saw the bird hotel, for future use. I couldn't have imagined a better experience. Everyone was so kind in the office.
