I just brought my 16year old african grey parrot to Dr. Milos at shakespeare vet. hospital.
My bird is healthy and happy...just needed wings and nails cut.
This was the first visit there and the very last.....he didn't even know how to pick up the bird, or interact with it. He was putting his fingers right in front of the birds face, trying to touch the top of his head (you never put anything over a bird's head because they don't feel safe). While holding him in the towel, my bird's tail started thrashing and his eyelids were opening and closing and starting to wail. He let go of the bird and it couldn't stand up...legs were sliding out from under him. He was making this very loud groan/moan and I thought the bird was going to die right then and there.
Dr. said "he's having a seizure". The bird flew to me and I put him back in the carrier and left.
He said to my husband "I didn't squeeze the bird"!!
He later called my home and left a message saying the bird had the seizure because he is calcium deficient. He didn't even give a blood test!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that I would have ever let him get that far....
It was a very upsetting experience and I can't imagine bringing any animal there.
First impressions mean everything...He talked about plants being more intelligent than people....very strange

I am so thankful to have found Shakespeare Vet this past weekend. Saturday I suspected my dog had a bladder infection. I called my regular vet and was refused an appt until Monday. Shakespeare squeezed us in and the vet that saw us was extremely patient and compassionate. Dr. Muoio was very kind when she gave us the shocking news that she suspected Lymphoma and not a bladder infection. She called us with lab results on Monday and referred us to an oncologist who was also extremely kind and was able to see us immediately. I fear my dogs prognosis would be a much more bleak had it not been for Dr. Muoio.

I am very glad to have found Shakespeare Vet which was highly recommended by a friend. I had my golden cared for by another vet from adoption to age 10 and the prices became absurd. I took him to Shakespeare and found i had been receiving inferior care and didn't know it. That vet was very nice but always cut one or more of his nails to the quick and told me it was because he had gone too long without a trim. He also sold me services and products I didn't need.



Shakespeare vets care about my animals and take the time to talk with me. They are friendly, good at what they do and conservative in their approach to treatment. They've never once cut a nail to the quick.



I will always be grateful for the way they took care of us when I had to bring my 14 year old golden in for the last time. My son said I wasn't being fair to the dog by carrying him out to do his business the last month and he was ready to go. I made the decision early in the morning, called before they opened and got the receptionist. She said they were fully booked that day and she would see what she could do. This is one of the hardest things I've ever done and didn't want to wait any longer. She called me back and said they would open early for my dog. They were kind and gentle with us and I could see they felt and understood the loss. I will always be grateful for the way they handled that. Even now, two years later they still remember that dog and treat my two new dogs with care.

Run away ! , I have a parakeet -needs it's beak trimmed ! that's all .

Because I never been here Before it's a $75.00 charge ?? WHAT ??

Give the bird a check up ??

all I want is it's beak trimmed !... Rip Off !

We have been coming here for several years and we love it !!! We have 2 cats, 3 turtles and a Comombian red tailed boa...The office staff is wonderful. The prices r not OUTRAGEOUS like other vets in the area and we have generally been very happy with them.

This is the only vet in the area that treats exotic pets and am so glad they do !!! I just wish they would get their website finished so can see what other services they offer...We need cat grooming BADLY !!!!
