Avian & Exotic Clinic of Palm City

Dr April has been treating my two ferrets for about six months. We only met when I reached out to her office on a Friday night at 8 o'clock in a panic because my ferret collapsed while I was holding him. I was not currently a patient of hers, but I knew that she specializes in exotic animals and that my regular vet was closed. The office gave me her private cell phone number and she answered. When I explained to her the symptoms, she immediately was able to diagnose him with insulinoma over the phone and had me bring him in immediately. She stayed with us there until midnight running all the tests and creating plan of care including a medicinal regiment of which she created in-house so that I could take the prescriptions home and immediately begin treatment. She took the time to explain every facet of the disease and her reasoning behind his plan of care and answering all of my questions even as we're at her car at midnight. And he is doing great! Then my other ferret began being so howing signs of respiratory distress and Dr. April took the time to rule out multiple possible causes before diagnosing her with a rare case of heart worms, which have a high mortality rate and for which there is no approved treatment. Dr April was willing to collaborate with other experts in the field and created an experimental treatment plan. We are four months into a six month treatment and my little girl is doing ok. I am grateful for Dr April for going above and beyond and taking the time and research and think outside the box to try and save my ferret and for being available to respond to my texts at any time. And throughout my visits, I've seen her take care of all kinds of exotic animals and be in emergency surgery as late as midnight. It's clear that helping animals is her life, not just her job, and I would recommend her to anyone❤️

As our beautiful and loving parrots age unfortunately many begin having seizures! Seizures are bad these birds can pass within minutes of having a seizure. I moved to Port St Lucie and within a month of being there my 40 yr old African Grey had a seizure she was shaking and screaming feet both closed she almost passed! I immediately google searched and thank God I found Avian & Exotic Clinic. Dr April spent a minimum of 20 minutes with me on the phone patiently helping me to bring Sammy back! I drove directly to Dr April's office she and her staff prescribed a seizure medication for Sammy and honestly the seizures have stopped!!! 6 months now no seizures!!! Please anyone living in Florida/ South Florida listen to me seizures can kill our birds! As soon as they begin to seizure it will never stop till you get them medication. Without my Sammy 's medication she probably would have passed by now. Seizures are not a future death sentence anymore. Call this office they will help you!!! BTW. Older African Grey's are prone to seizures.

I was referred by my Aunt who has been a loyal customer for about 10 years. I went in and was going to establish myself as a new client. I met with the receptionist who was extremely professional and accommodating her name escapes me but she has really long dark hair.Anyway while filling out the client and pet info sheets I witnessed the extremely unprofessional berating of this poor receptionist up front. I assume it was the vet or owner of this establishment but needless To say but I felt terrible for this poor girl. I am professionally employed in martin county and have been in this area for several years And have dealt with difficult Clients and other people in the past and I Must say this was pathetic. In closing I must say I will be spreading the word about my experience and will urge all others to steer clear of this office . Please BEWARE!!!

I brought my angora rabbit in with a decreased appetite and he ended up having severe overgrown teeth. We are so thankful for Dr April and her staff keeping us updated throughout the surgery and for taking great care of him overnight. Even after he came home Dr April and the amazing staff called to check up on him and answer any additional questions we had about medicine and aftercare. Truly thankful too all at Avian & Exotic Clinic of Palm City.

Dr. April and staff are amazing! I have a Fennec Fox, and she had extensive ear damage due to a bite she got from her mom. The ear canal was completely shut and had to be opened surgically. Dr. April explained everything to me and was very up front with what was going to be involved and that multiple surgeries would be needed. I was kept up to date during every surgery on the progress that was being made. I read other reviews regarding Dr. April and how she communicates to her client's, but during one surgery Dr. April did have to call me and did sound "rushed" but she had my baby on her operating table, and I would rather her focus be on my fox and quickly explain decisions that needed to be made with regards to my fox's procedure. Her focus is her patient's, and I am so grateful she is in this area to care for all of my exotics. Her expertise is worth every penny she charges to care for my babies with her very capable hands. Thank you, Dr. April and staff, for all you do. My little girl is thriving today because of the care all of you provided during her time of need.
