Everything about this place feels cold. Don’t bring your pet here if you’re short on funds. We took our cat to another vet after paying nearly 300 here for various tests and vaccines. Out of curiosity, we had our other vet quote the same procedures - they were 1/4 the cost! They said UGA is way over charging. I would assume that a teaching hospital would be better on the wallet but it’s NOT and they will not help you or make recommendations if you can’t pay everything they ask. The girl that called me to explain things about my pet knew very little and could not answer my questions, just tried to get me to pay more and more. I received an email about 2 days after the visit detailing issues with my pet. It was comprehensive, but again, cold. Empathy doesn’t appear to exist here in any way. My other vet takes the time to explain things to your face and speaks with you like a human being!! I’m giving 2 stars, because we were given some recommendations about treatment and a lot of food for our cat. But for the price we paid, I don’t feel that it was worth it at all. Based on my experience...I will avoid from now on!

The girl at the front desk. Devin, is unprofessional, condescending, and snappy. In times of crisis, she would be my absolute last resort.

UPDATE: We went to a different vet (The Animal Clinic West) the day after visiting here. They did two BASIC tests, a crop swab and fecal stain, that the university refused to do, we found out what was wrong with our baby, which was a bacterial infection of her crop, and got prescribed a simple antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. Our baby bird is now on the tail end of her recovery and is thriving. We're so happy now that we didn't just give up on her like was suggested by the University vet. How simple and inexpensive the diagnosis and treatment for our birds sickness was by our new vet just reassures me that this is NOT a place to take your exotic animal. ORIGINAL: We are crushed by our experience here. We took in our 4 month old green cheek conure because she was sick and we couldn't find anyone else to treat her in a short enough amount of time. It took over two hundred dollars just to get her in the door while we sat in the parking lot to wait. And this was only for them to call and tell us that they had no idea what was wrong, and to do any of the tests to find out we would have to pay 1000 on the spot and that the rest would total at minimum 2000 more. They only care as long as you have a big bank account. When we said we wouldn't be able to afford it, The vet had the audacity to say if we wanted to avoid the cost of the exam, that we could surrender our bird to be euthanized and dissected by a class of students, OR if we didn't want to do that, she could off the books OD our bird on muscle relaxers to \help her give up and go peacefully at home\. This is absolutely dispiccable, and horribly wrong to say to somone who is crying in their car over the phone because we knew our baby was going to die. We begged her to not touch or do anything to our baby. They will never see us, or anyone we know again.
