I'm sure that the clinic is good for dogs and cats. But the vet doesn't know anything about other species, in my case my bunny. I almost lost him due to a wrong diagnostic and medication. If you are unaware of the problem the animal has, it would be honest to say 'I don't know what is wrong". And honestly I feel I got charged waaaaaaaay too much. Not going back. Read Less

I cannot recommend this vet's office highly enough. One of my guinea pigs was sick for the first time and I was recommended to come here as Dr. Rider is one of the only vets in the Auburn/Opelika area who specializes in "exotics." The staff was not only incredibly warm and friendly but very efficient and got me in for an emergency appointment in almost no time. It only took Dr. Rider about 2 minutes to figure out what was going on with my little guy and prescribe him the necessary antibiotics. Most importantly, she used the remaining appointment time to talk to me about what I should expect if the illness either progressed or resolved and how to administer antibiotics/hand-feed a squirmy guinea pig. I never felt rushed or stupid for bringing in a rodent to see her, and she took the time to answer every worried question I had about him. I'm incredibly type A about my animals and the care they receive and I trusted her completely. She is incredibly knowledgeable and artful with her craft and it is obvious she has a deep love for what she does. THANK YOU Dr. Rider and team.Read Less
