The BIRD Clinic

This one-hour consultation helps potential bird owners select the ideal species based on their living environment, family dynamics, and lifestyle. We evaluate housing options, family members' ages, existing pets, and travel habits to ensure long-term compatibility. Our guidance prevents common behavioral and medical issues through proper species selection.

Comprehensive health assessment for new bird owners includes weight verification, physical exams, and diagnostic tests like CBC and psittacosis screening. We provide dietary guidance and behavioral advice while identifying potential zoonotic diseases. This exam establishes a health baseline for future care.

Obviously I should have checked your Yelp page before scheduling. As I was driving home I thought, maybe it's me. maybe I'm being oversensitive. Lol. I literally laughed out loud when I got home and read these reviews. dozens of people calling you out for the exact same bullshit attitude you showed me. It's not okay to be abusive to pet owners for having the audacity to seek care for their animals.

You treated me like a hostile witness, trying to "poke holes" in my story and find fault instead of actually listen. I'm sure you are a competent avian vet, so it's sad that innocent animals are suffering and not getting the treatment they need because you have personality issues. Read these reviews and take it to heart. Get some therapy. Work on being more understanding and empathetic.

You realize that literally the first thing you said to me was, this bird is probably going to die soon so are you sure you want to treat him? The words used when I left were not strong enough. Seriously. Get help.

I had been looking for a real avian vet for over 5 years and could only find vets who advertised that they took care of birds, too. I found out that I knew more about what a parakeet's poop should look like than they did. My parakeet, Skye, would still be here today had I found Dr. Nemetz. He is direct in his approach, which I believe some find off-putting, but he is very knowledgeable. He has helped me learn more about my bird, what is healthy to eat, and how to keep her healthy so she can live a long life.

My girl has lost weight and is active and happy again. If you are willing to listen and put your ego aside for the health of your avian friend, this is the vet to visit. Yes, the first encounter is pricey but the subsequent follow ups are not. I spend a lot on my dog to keep her healthy and fit, why not my budgie. In addition, the office staff is wonderful.

I highly recommend Dr. Nemetz because he really focused on avian care. Truly knows his stuff. Takes the time to explain to you to share knowledge on caring for birds. Also willing to teach you how to apply needed medicines. It is above average charge but worth the money!

We have a sanctuary 'PDS non-profit Sanctuary', and we love and we respect Dr. He is the Best Doctor. He is bless for our birds and us. He saved our many birds. God Bless Him always and forever
