All three main vets are WONDERFUL with small/exotic animals. This place has a special interest in exotics, I wish I'd found them sooner. Dr. Kevin only had to take one look at AJ (RIP) and listen to the sounds he was making to know that the problem was a UTI. He did a test to be completely sure. He was wonderful with my guinea pig, very gentle and soothing. He kept AJ calm throughout the entire exam. I was very impressed. I didn't even need the list of Dangerous Medications that I'd brought with me...they had a copy on file! =)
Highly recommended!

Until October 2001, Dr. John Newman owned this clinic and handled most of the exotics cases. He has since sold the clinic and retired. I have heard the vet that now owns the clinic also sees exotics such as guinea pigs, and some of the other vets on staff do as well.

Dr. Baillie is the best vet for guinea pigs in the state (he is actually the one teaching the only class they have at the University of M).
He neutered my boy and is treating my new adopted baby (ear infection). He is very well-known here in the vet community and is in the list of free first pet consultations you get when you adopt from the Animal Humane Society. I highly recommend him and his staff.

- Dr. Todd is great, but the other vets also know how to deal with piggies.
For emergencies - 24/7 care - this is a good place to take your guinea pigs.
Contributed by email: Monica W. - 1/2/2015 - Dr. Wetherill owns the clinic. He is very good. I've heard it is difficult to get an appointment with Dr. Wetherill now, but other vets at this clinic are also treating guinea pigs.
