About Us

Our team's focus is on the delivery of excellent quality veterinary medicine and surgery exclusively for the special needs of birds. The Medical Center for Birds staff has been serving the bird community for over 30 years and has been a leader in raising the standards of medicine and surgery.  With the opening of our new facility over 10 years ago, we are now even more equipped to care for our patients. A quieter, bird-only atmosphere and the addition of new diagnostic and surgical equipment, suited just for birds, allows us to more comfortably house and treat your bird. Come by for a visit anytime or call us to set up an appointment 925-625-1878.
