I cannot recommend this clinic more highly. If you have a rabbit this is the only veterinary clinic in Calgary you should be visiting.
I have been a client of this clinic for 5+ years.
Between foster rabbits and my own, I have received care for upwards of 10 different rabbits with not one single complaint.
Dr. Materi is a goddamn champ. Just the best human being. I always ask for her first. She is knowledgable, has impeccable bedside manner and it is obvious she cares deeply for her patients. I always feel fully informed of my options. I can't praise her enough.
Dr. Korber is no nonsense. I've seen her only a handful of times. I was nervous at first because her bedside manner is not soft HOWEVER she is a staunch professional. On one occasion I wanted to go down the full 6 million dollar man route and she talked me down to a prudent, medically informed patience. She could have taken me to the cleaners but this woman is a doctor and she practices medical science, not needless price gauging.
Dr. Chapman is new for me, but I gotta say I like what I see. Great bedside, knowledgable and knows how to communicate with her clients.
From the front desk, techs and docs, you will not find a better veterinary clinic for your rabbit in Calgary.response / report this review -

The vets are amazing! Experts in their field! But some of the front staff are insensitive and don't know when/how/where to refer to an emergency clinic. My rabbit stopped eating and drinking water and I was told to do what I think is best. No direction or referral in preventing him from dying from dehydration. Don't even bother calling for things like that, find somewhere else ahead of time and prepare yourself. My mistake. The facebook team was much more helpful and I appreciate their response to my emergency. they hopefully will follow through with addressing this with staff.

I have brought my Green Cheek Conure here twice now and wouldn't bring her anywhere else. The vets and techs are always so gentle and kind to her. They care and when a concern is brought up they do everything they can to make sure it's not anything major. Everyone is kind and caring not only to the pets but the owners as well. I would recommend this clinic to anyone with an exotic or avian. They are truly stellar.

Our Ball Python, Little Monty, got a terrible thermal burn from one of those stupid heat mats. We honestly thought he would not make it on several occasions, but throughout the process we had compassionate guidance and advice from Kerry. She presented us with all options every time and never made us feel bad about what we chose.
We just want to say how unbelievably grateful we are, because Monty is now 100% healed and healthy, eating weekly and has no more issues. We truly feel like he got a second chance all because of Dr Gorber's care and compassionresponse / report this review -

My partner and I brought our Dwarf Rabbit in this morning, for his first veterinary visit. We seen Dr. Kerry, and were beyond impressed. She was extremely kind, personal and thorough - with a great sense of humor, too! We felt very comfortable and taken care of. She took the time to ensure that we understood everything she discussed with us, and was more than happy to answer questions. It was so nice that we did not feel rushed or confused. We are so glad that we chose this clinic for our rabbit's care. Also, while waiting in the waiting area, i observed that Nikki, the receptionist, was performing excellency within her role. She was quite obviously very busy, but she was multi-tasking superbly - all while remaining calm and pleasant. This was an overall 10/10 experience.
Now, we just need to come up with a name for our little guy, before his next visit!response / report this review -

This place is amazing! Everyone who works here is so intelligent, calm, and overall wonderful. They vets seem equal parts physician and magician. They are so helpful I wish I could find a healthcare provider for me that was as good as they are to my pets! If you have birds, you would be remiss to not take them here!

I found that I had a better experience with Dr. Weger at the Calgary North with my pet (I am not criticizing the Calgary Avian and Exotic Pet Clinic or Dr. Korber), but for me, Dr. Weger was a better fit.
Dr. Korber did say when I met with her that she would do her utmost to communicate with her patients. I have let go of my anguish over the situation with my rabbit dying.response / report this review -

I could not ask for a better clinic then this one! We've had all three vets at the practice in the past and each has proven they are experts in their fields and have been fantastic to work with. We have had a lot of difficult cases come through, whether it be our own critters or the rescues we get in, and each one has been treated with the utmost respect and care.
We've brought them plenty of bunnies with difficult cases (Abscess removal from the throat, Femoral head ostectomy, a rabbit with over 100 bladder stones, wounds that needed surgery, an ear canal removal and many more!), a guinea pig, a chinchilla, a hedgehog and a hamster, and each time has always been the best experience we could ask for.
We owe so much to the Doctor's and the wonderful techs at this clinic, my rabbits are my everything and I can't imagine leaving them in the hands of anyone when they need care but the staff at this clinic.response / report this review -

Really friendly receptionist, and the doctor was great. They accommodated my fear of needles and were able to get me an appointment every three days to get my snake his antibiotics. Great clinic.

Thank you to the wonderful staff for letting me come in for the morning, to "job shadow". My daughter had the most wonderful time. The care and concern you showed for each and every animal was inspirational and did not go unnoticed. From rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and snakes - we learned so much. Keep up the great job.
From what I saw behind the scenes, I would recommend this clinic to absolutely anyone who wants the best care possible for their pet.response / report this review -

I have been going to Calgary Avian & Exotic for over 10 years now and they are the best in the city. Having had many ups and downs (admittedly more downs, but it is a vet, so not always good reasons to go in) over the years, they have been very compassionate and caring. As much as I don't like leaving my rabbits with anyone, I know they will be in good hands here. Dr. Materi in particular is great. She handles my rabbits well, even when they are not being cooperative, Tesla actually trying to bite the scope to avoid his teeth being checked. I have recommended this clinic and will continue to recommend them.
I know they are busy, and there can be a wait to see the vet, but when the vet is with you, they are focused on you. I can put up with a bit of a wait knowing someone else is getting excellent care.response / report this review
