I take my parrotlets to Dr. Stevenson and only her office. She is so knowledgeable about avian medicine but also has the most wonderful bedside manner with birds. She falls in love with them first, then goes on to check them out. I know with an emergency that comes first, but if it isn't an emergency, she just loves to get to know the bird(s). She is a wonderful, kind woman and I will NEVER take my parrotlets or Nanday Conures to anyone else.

Office - 561/798-0173Dr. Bond is, by far the best Avian Vet I have had the pleasure to work with. He does not immediately jump to drugs, he tries natural methods first and then, if necessary drugs.
He is personable, loves birds and it shows. Most of the Avian vets I've spoken to, around the nation, say Matthew is one of the best bird vets going.
His prices are too low to be believed.

Susan is board certified and the author of many published works regarding bird health. She and her husband maintain their own aviary and avian research facility.
She is a caring, knowledgeable avian vet. Her compassion is the same for all birds. I once took a duck to her and he was treated as compassionately as if he were the most expensive Hyacinth Macaw.
I don't know Susan well, yet. However, she was so highly recommended, by everyone with birds in Palm Beach County, that I feel like I've known her for years. I very highly recommend her as a caring and knowledgeable Avian Vet.
I have two very spoiled parrots Mac and Adios. They have been going to Dr. Clubb their entire lives. I can not say enough about how good she is with them and how knowledgable and caring she is. I know my baby is in the best hands with Dr. Clubb.

Dr. Michelle is the best!!! She saved our Umbrella Cockatoo when he was only 4-5 weeks old. Another vet, un-named, told us to give our bird Gator Aid, but he didn't get any better. Then we went to Fleming Island Pet Hospital, from a referral at a pet shop. We thought we might lose our new bird. Dr. Michelle admitted our bird and told us that she would do her best but it didn't look good. 5 days later we picked up our bird, Lexus, from Fleming Island Pet Hospital, and we had what seemed another, new bird!!!
