Madison Ave Vet Clinic:
My family and I have been long time customers of this vet for years. We have brought in our cockatiel, our golden retriever: Shaggy and our old cats in the past. Sadly all of them have passed on but I have recently adopted two new pups and was excited to take them both here after a bad experience at another vet. Today was my two pups second visit and everything went well until I checked out at the front desk. The old front desk lady: Laura who wasn’t at all welcoming to me both times during my visit, ignored me and didn’t say anything to me as I waited to be checked out so I could pay and leave. I get they are busy and swarmed with calls but Laura intentionally waited until the other front desk girl could help me when she came back in. As I was paying and getting checked out by the other younger front desk lady, I accidentally swiped my card wrong while paying and (Laura) who was sitting right next to us on her computer made a smartass condescending comment and said, “ It’s funny how technology these days is smarter than all of us.” I was immediately shocked and taken back by her rude inappropriate comment. I then confronted Laura before I walked out and asked her what she meant and the old front desk lady (Laura) said,” I was just being facetious”. I was really offended and that’s not okay to say to your customer and was really inappropriate! I’ve already spent about $800 total (both visits) at this vets office and have been a long time customer of theirs for a long time and it was sad and really disappointing to be treated like that! After I called (Laura) out on her inappropriate rude behavior and made it known to her that I was upset about how she treated me she literally just thanked me for letting her know with a fake smile. No apology and just smiled at me like she couldn’t care less. Eventually Laura did apologize to me after I stood there and made it aware that I wasn’t leaving until she acknowledged that what she said wasn’t cool. Laura gave an array of excuses saying that she’s a nice person and doesn’t cuss and this and that (all the same stuff every white person says when a person of color such as myself calls them out for their microagressions). (I’ve experienced these same interactions my whole life and always get the same excuses by white people). Everyone cusses Laura, come on now.
I’ve worked two customer service jobs in my past and have dealt with rude customers all the time and would never make sarcastic facetious comments like that towards them. It was completely rude, unprofessional, and inappropriate of Laura to say insensitive comments like that especially when we are both strangers and don’t know each other. Laura even agreed we were strangers and she even admitted that she was being facetious (which isn’t a good thing) so if Laura agreed we were strangers then she should of known better to not say smart ass facetious jokes to someone she doesn’t know. Laura ignored me when I was waiting to be checked out at the front desk until the other young lady came to help me. Laura had no issue acknowledging another customer at the time who was a middle aged white woman who was waiting in the main lobby with her bunny. Laura had no issue talking with the white customer and chatting her up and being friendly. Not once did Laura acknowledge me and say hi to me, and only when she did she made a facetious inappropriate comment towards me to make me feel like I was stupid and that technology was smarter than me. I didn’t appreciate being treated the way that I did after spending a lot of money here and paying their paychecks and receiving the rude offensive slight I got from the front desk lady: Laura. The other staff of young women were fine and friendly towards me but Laura was a whole different story. Laura then proceeded to tell me she knew how I felt since her husband was Mexican which doesn’t make any difference since some white people who are married or friends with a person of color can still be racist as well. There are a lot of mexican people who are very light skinned and could pass of as white for example celebrity: Jennifer Lopez, so thats another issue that the front desk old white lady: Laura is uneducated and ignorant about.
White lady Laura: you have no idea the type of discrimination I’ve had to deal with as a person of color and you NEVER will since you are WHITE. Even both my adopted white parents can’t and won’t ever be able to understand since they are white, so please don’t act like you understand and (say that I’m wrong) when you are WHITE and haven’t walked in my shoes. My experience today was an example of a microaggression. For most people of color they will resonate with my experience of being made to feel less than. With most white people they will turn a blind eye and be ignorant and say it’s something else. Laura also has a tendency to laugh and chuckle at appropriate times when it’s not funny and actually serious like for example with my interaction with her today when she made the insensitive facetious comment towards me.
Sadly, I’ll be changing vets after this experience and have no choice but to take my two pups somewhere else where I will be treated like an equal and not have facetious comments thrown in my face. All I wanted was to be treated like a human being and treated just like every other white person in this world. I am waiting for Dr. Brick to call me back. Who knows if Dr Brick will, I feel like she won’t and will most likely side with her employees and lash out at me and treat me like I’m stupid like I’ve read from other Yelpers experience with her, but hey at least I can share my last interaction with them here in this review.
Sadly Dr. Bricks husband is a conservative and Trump supporter. Most likely Dr. Brick is as well. I can no longer support and give money to a business whose owner and husband support racist ex president: Trump. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dr. Brick and her husband both laugh at my review since they are both conservatives and support racist and bigots.
My original review continued since it was too long:

Even though I’ve been a long time customer here, they probably don’t care if I leave since they make enough money from all their other customers. Laura the old front desk lady sure acted like she didn’t care when she had no issue saying she would transfer all my other info over to another vet. That exactly what I’ll do. Oh and Laura promised that Dr. Brick would me back today after they close but I have received no call from Dr. Brick me it’s almost 9 pm at night. I’m not surprised, but all I wanted to do was express my concern and make a complaint but I doubt Dr. Brick will care and will just side with Laura whose her age and her employee. Just wanted to share my experience with everyone. Choose your vet wisely. I’ll be happy to leave and find another vet who treats me like a human being.

I am so grateful to this group of wonderful people! I know my chicken, Harris, was treated with the best care by all involved. When they learned of the urgency of my situation, they went that extra mile in their attempt to save my pet. No doubt all that was possible, was done for Harris in the most caring way. Sincere empathy and compassion was obviously felt by all as Harris passed in the most humane way and she was not suffering any longer. Thank you to the doctor (I cannot remember her name!) and the staff that so unselfishly volunteered to work late for me and Harris! I will always use the veterinarian clinic for my pets! It couldn't get any better!

I took my rat, Larry, here yesterday and they were absolutely wonderful! They answered all my questions and gave him the medication he needed so I can get his respiratory infection taken care of.
Not only are they super close to my house but what made me even more drawn to this place was that almost all of their reviews are rat related. The woman who helped me (I didn't catch her name ): ) said on average they have around 3-6 rats in a week! So they definitely know what they're doing. I will for sure be back for more veterinary needs (:

I loved this place! They treated my rat with the upmost care, and were incredibly friendly. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good veterinary hospital. I was so sad when my rat had to be put to sleep, and even though they were booked, they squeezed me in so it could be as quick as possible. They also sent me a long, heartfelt condolence letter, which they all signed. Great staff, reasonable prices. I’d give it no less than 5 stars!

Anyone with reptiles can tell you it's hard to find any vet, but to find a good one? That's golden. Dr. Brick and her team are knowledgeable, personable and compassionate. I first met them when I had to take my dying Beardie in to get put down. A few weeks later I received a card in the mail signed by every single one of her team with kind notes of condolences. This makes a huge difference for someone who lost a loved pet. Anyone who has a pet knows they become your family, even if they are lizards. Since then, I have brought my entire menagerie including my other Beardie, my leopard gecko and my cat. With each and every one, she knows her stuff, and right off the to of her head. She was honest with my cat's allergies, and told me up front how much testing for it would be, but said it wasn't necessary and didn't try to gouge every dime out of me. When I couldn't figure out why my leopard gecko was eating, they offered to let me drop her off and pick her up after work and even called to let me know she was basically ovulating and needed to lay infertile eggs! Her prices are reasonable and you really get top notch service from every one, from the phone to the desk to the core staff and finally, the doc herself. I live far form this place, but I will never take my animals anywhere else. I really enjoy my visits and I learn so much from them with every visit.

I stumbled upon this veterinary clinic through a fellow Yelper, Steph. I also tried to contact other vets to see if they specialize in rabbits but I got turned down most of the time as many vets only see dogs and cats. I initially brought in my rabbit, Bunzi, for a large abscess on the side of her face. The vet technicians and doctors were really concerned after they saw Bunzi's face. They explained to me each time what they were going to do and brought her to the operating room. First, Bunzi needed her face to be shaved off so they can see underneath the abscess. Her wound was then cleaned up and sutured up for stitches. I was so scared because Bunzi had to have metal staples to her face and I felt so bad for my poor baby since I could not do much to help alleviate the pain she was going through. The vet came back and explained that they had to suture it that way so that there would be drainage of any other discharge. I was advised to feed Bunzi some critical care, TMS, and Meloxicam. My bill turned out to be a lot more expensive that I had anticipated, but I had to do whatever it took to heal my little princess.I have been to the vet several times after the visit and the vet techs and techs have been nothing but caring during this whole process. The vet techs taught me how to feed Bunzi the medication, give her shots, and even wrap her in a bunny burrito. Fast foward to 2 months later, Bunzi is almost all healed up from her abscess and she is going to be the happiest bun ever. I am so lucky to have found Dr. Sanchez and Dr. Brick to see my princess Bunzi. I am planning to bring Smores and Bunzi to see these great vets for yearly checkups! Also, Dr. Brick also specializes in turtles, birds, dogs, cats, and many other exotic animals!!

I adopted a rabbit from the SPCA and found out he had several chronic illnesses. I contacted my local rabbit rescue to ask who the best rabbit vet in the area was and they of course referred me to Dr. Brick. I worked with her and the AMAZING staff closely for 6 years dealing with the many issues my rabbit had. From early morning drop offs, overnight stays and several surgeries, there is no other vet I would have trusted as I did Dr. Brick. The staff truly cares for the families and the pets as if they were their own. The receptionist, Laura is always welcoming and a joy to talk to while waiting. I will never take my animals to anywhere other than Madison Ave Veterinary Clinic.

I have been taking my dogs here for nine years. My sister and her husband are the ones that told me about this place and how amazing it is. when my dog Butters had gotten bit by a big dog about a month or so ago I had to bring him to emergency vet. unfortunately it was busy here so I had to bring them to a different vet after he got out of there for emergency surgery and they did not do the job that I was used to like Dr. Brick does. After going to this place in Rocklin and them charging me up the wazoo. I called to see if I could get in with Dr. brick and she was so reasonable with everything. She communicated with the other vet that I went to prior for his surgery and already knew everything that was going on with him when I got there which definitely put my mind at ease with my pup. Being able to tell that she cared about Butters well being is very comforting as well. She was so reasonable with the cost with what he needed done. The other place was going to be charging me around $500 to do something that she did for $130. It's great to see that there is someone that's out there who actually care about the animal rather than just the money that they're making off of helping them.Because of Madison Avenue vet my dog is back is to his normal self when I didn't think he was going to be able to. I would highly recommend anyone to bring their pet here!!!!!

This is *the* place to go for exotic animal care. I have pet rats and this place knows and understands that rats are intelligent, caring pets. The staff is amazing and all of them handled my babies like the little people they think they are. The vet has a ton of experience with small mammals, and she was honest and personable. They took the time to show me the best ways to give oral medicine and clip his nails. If you have pet rats or another exotic I can not recommend this vet enough. Any one who has ever owned rats understands the challenges of finding a vet who "gets" it - look no more.
I also have a cat. She recently had a successful and very reasonably priced surgery performed at this clinic. I trusted them with her life and was not disappointed.
Added bonus - it's next to a karate center, so you get to hear adorable little children hi-yaing if you're lucky with timing.

Dr Maryann Brick is well known in the Sacramento Area as a specialist in exotic animals, from reptiles, birds, bunnies, mice, guinea pigs, etc. as well as dogs and cats. She won awards from the Dept. of Wildlife for working with exotic wildlife. I belonged to rabbit rescue and over the years, she has cared for my 11 Bunnies from the day I adopted them, to the day they took their last breath; And continues to do so. If her staff asks lots of questions, it is because they don't miss much in their diagnosis and care of the animals in their charge. Her passion and focus is in giving the animals the quality of life they deserve. If you're shopping for the cheapest vet for your pet's immediate needs only, you are putting your precious pet at risk; Dr. Brick is probably not the vet for you, and heaven help your pet.

My baby girl had her first appointment here last week and I was pleasantly surprised. The receptionist was friendly and genuinely interested in my pet, she remembered other customers by name. The vet techs spent time with me and took an active interest in my pet's health. The vet actually spent extra time with my dog checking for lumps. Plus, their pricing is competitive and the pricing for Heartgard was the lowest I've ever seen! The receptionist explained that heartworm was a seriously painful ordeal and she hates the sound of dogs in pain from heartworm treatment, so they chose to sell Heartgard at a lower price to encourage owners to administer it. How great is that? That's just not something you hear from a vet office.

Went in to have my guinea pig, Mr. JumpyTiny, fixed. To start off, the phone conversation explaining the procedure as well as the doctor's experience with rodent neuters was professional, friendly and informative. The hours were extremely convenient for my 9 to 5 work schedule, as I dropped him off in the morning. A few hours later, a vet tech left a pleasant message on my voice mail, saying that everything went perfectly and that Mr. JumpyTiny was ready to be picked up. Went to get him and the vet tech kindly explained all of the aftercare procedures and demonstrated how to properly feed and medicate the lil guinea pig. Everything was fantastic, not to mention all the costs and fees were presented up front, never changed and very economical! I will only trust these folks for my guinea pig care in the future, they made a customer for life by being so great!

Unfortunately there are not 10 stars to give, so five will have to do. When it comes to the care of our family, which includes our animals second best is unthinkable , that is why Dr. Marianne Brick has been our Dr. of choice without question. for many years.Dr Brick and the entire staff is caring, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable with a professional demeanor unmatched by anyone I have encountered in the field.In our family are lovely domestic pet rats, a blue and gold macaw and an African Grey parrot, these are delicate and complex creatures which require a tremendous amount of skillful care, Dr. Brick has saved the life of several of our little ones over the years, and we owe her an undying debt of gratitude and respect.I cannot stress strongly enough that if you care, truly care for your animal, you will visit and get to know Dr. Brick and staff, it will be a decision you will never regret, and like I, you will probably be very grateful for.Raleigh AdamsSacramento

I LOVE this Doctor and staff. They were concerned enough with the described symptoms that they didn't want me to wait until next available (3 days later) and fit me in the same day (with a warning that there would be a wait). Lastly, Dr. Brick called me the following day to see how my bird was doing. On a sad note. I brought my bird three times before we opted to do an xray. It turns out that my bird had ingested heavy metal and the treatments weren't really helping . I'm not blaming Dr. Brick. I wish we had the xray on the first visit. I understand small birds are complicated and symptoms could mean many things. Unfortunately, my bird did suffer and I had to make the hard decision to put her to sleep.Would I go back? YES.

Madison Ave Vet Clinic:
My family and I have been long time customers of this vet for years. We have brought in our cockatiel, our golden retriever: Shaggy and our old cats in the past. Sadly all of them have passed on but I have recently adopted two new pups and was excited to take them both here after a bad experience at another vet. Today was my two pups second visit and everything went well until I checked out at the front desk. The old front desk lady: Laura who wasn’t at all welcoming to me both times during my visit, ignored me and didn’t say anything to me as I waited to be checked out so I could pay and leave. I get they are busy and swarmed with calls but Laura intentionally waited until the other front desk girl could help me when she came back in. As I was paying and getting checked out by the other younger front desk lady, I accidentally swiped my card wrong while paying and (Laura) who was sitting right next to us on her computer made a smartass condescending comment and said, “ It’s funny how technology these days is smarter than all of us.” I was immediately shocked and taken back by her rude inappropriate comment. I then confronted Laura before I walked out and asked her what she meant and the old front desk lady (Laura) said,” I was just being facetious”. I was really offended and that’s not okay to say to your customer and was really inappropriate! I’ve already spent about $800 total (both visits) at this vets office and have been a long time customer of theirs for a long time and it was sad and really disappointing to be treated like that! After I called (Laura) out on her inappropriate rude behavior and made it known to her that I was upset about how she treated me she literally just thanked me for letting her know with a fake smile. No apology and just smiled at me like she couldn’t care less. Eventually Laura did apologize to me after I stood there and made it aware that I wasn’t leaving until she acknowledged that what she said wasn’t cool. Laura gave an array of excuses saying that she’s a nice person and doesn’t cuss and this and that (all the same stuff every white person says when a person of color such as myself calls them out for their microagressions). (I’ve experienced these same interactions my whole life and always get the same excuses by white people). Everyone cusses Laura, come on now.
I’ve worked two customer service jobs in my past and have dealt with rude customers all the time and would never make sarcastic facetious comments like that towards them. It was completely rude, unprofessional, and inappropriate of Laura to say insensitive comments like that especially when we are both strangers and don’t know each other. Laura even agreed we were strangers and she even admitted that she was being facetious (which isn’t a good thing) so if Laura agreed we were strangers then she should of known better to not say smart ass facetious jokes to someone she doesn’t know. Laura ignored me when I was waiting to be checked out at the front desk until the other young lady came to help me. Laura had no issue acknowledging another customer at the time who was a middle aged white woman who was waiting in the main lobby with her bunny. Laura had no issue talking with the white customer and chatting her up and being friendly. Not once did Laura acknowledge me and say hi to me, and only when she did she made a facetious inappropriate comment towards me to make me feel like I was stupid and that technology was smarter than me. I didn’t appreciate being treated the way that I did after spending a lot of money here and paying their paychecks and receiving the rude offensive slight I got from the front desk lady: Laura. The other staff of young women were fine and friendly towards me but Laura was a whole different story. Laura then proceeded to tell me she knew how I felt since her husband was Mexican which doesn’t make any difference since some white people who are married or friends with a person of color can still be racist as well. There are a lot of mexican people who are very light skinned and could pass of as white for example celebrity: Jennifer Lopez, so thats another issue that the front desk old white lady: Laura is uneducated and ignorant about.
White lady Laura: you have no idea the type of discrimination I’ve had to deal with as a person of color and you NEVER will since you are WHITE. Even both my adopted white parents can’t and won’t ever be able to understand since they are white, so please don’t act like you understand and (say that I’m wrong) when you are WHITE and haven’t walked in my shoes. My experience today was an example of a microaggression. For most people of color they will resonate with my experience of being made to feel less than. With most white people they will turn a blind eye and be ignorant and say it’s something else. Laura also has a tendency to laugh and chuckle at appropriate times when it’s not funny and actually serious like for example with my interaction with her today when she made the insensitive facetious comment towards me.
Sadly, I’ll be changing vets after this experience and have no choice but to take my two pups somewhere else where I will be treated like an equal and not have facetious comments thrown in my face. All I wanted was to be treated like a human being and treated just like every other white person in this world. I am waiting for Dr. Brick to call me back. Who knows if Dr Brick will, I feel like she won’t and will most likely side with her employees and lash out at me and treat me like I’m stupid like I’ve read from other Yelpers experience with her, but hey at least I can share my last interaction with them here in this review.
Sadly Dr. Bricks husband is a conservative and Trump supporter. Most likely Dr. Brick is as well. I can no longer support and give money to a business whose owner and husband support racist ex president: Trump. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dr. Brick and her husband both laugh at my review since they are both conservatives and support racist and bigots.
My original review continued since it was too long:

Even though I’ve been a long time customer here, they probably don’t care if I leave since they make enough money from all their other customers. Laura the old front desk lady sure acted like she didn’t care when she had no issue saying she would transfer all my other info over to another vet. That exactly what I’ll do. Oh and Laura promised that Dr. Brick would me back today after they close but I have received no call from Dr. Brick me it’s almost 9 pm at night. I’m not surprised, but all I wanted to do was express my concern and make a complaint but I doubt Dr. Brick will care and will just side with Laura whose her age and her employee. Just wanted to share my experience with everyone. Choose your vet wisely. I’ll be happy to leave and find another vet who treats me like a human being.

I am so grateful to this group of wonderful people! I know my chicken, Harris, was treated with the best care by all involved. When they learned of the urgency of my situation, they went that extra mile in their attempt to save my pet. No doubt all that was possible, was done for Harris in the most caring way. Sincere empathy and compassion was obviously felt by all as Harris passed in the most humane way and she was not suffering any longer. Thank you to the doctor (I cannot remember her name!) and the staff that so unselfishly volunteered to work late for me and Harris! I will always use the veterinarian clinic for my pets! It couldn't get any better!

I took my rat, Larry, here yesterday and they were absolutely wonderful! They answered all my questions and gave him the medication he needed so I can get his respiratory infection taken care of.
Not only are they super close to my house but what made me even more drawn to this place was that almost all of their reviews are rat related. The woman who helped me (I didn't catch her name ): ) said on average they have around 3-6 rats in a week! So they definitely know what they're doing. I will for sure be back for more veterinary needs (:

Madison Avenue Vet Clinic was my partner in treating my beloved Rosie after her diagnosis. I was treated with compassion and care as was my girl. They were with me every step of the way. When it was time to let her go, the Dr. was honest with me and I was confident that everything that could be done for her had been. I will never take my pets anywhere else. I love the staff. I can never thank them enough. Laura, Greg, all Vet Techs, Dr. Sanchez, Dr. Brick...thank you for caring.

I loved this place! They treated my rat with the upmost care, and were incredibly friendly. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good veterinary hospital. I was so sad when my rat had to be put to sleep, and even though they were booked, they squeezed me in so it could be as quick as possible. They also sent me a long, heartfelt condolence letter, which they all signed. Great staff, reasonable prices. I’d give it no less than 5 stars!

Anyone with reptiles can tell you it's hard to find any vet, but to find a good one? That's golden. Dr. Brick and her team are knowledgeable, personable and compassionate. I first met them when I had to take my dying Beardie in to get put down. A few weeks later I received a card in the mail signed by every single one of her team with kind notes of condolences. This makes a huge difference for someone who lost a loved pet. Anyone who has a pet knows they become your family, even if they are lizards. Since then, I have brought my entire menagerie including my other Beardie, my leopard gecko and my cat. With each and every one, she knows her stuff, and right off the to of her head. She was honest with my cat's allergies, and told me up front how much testing for it would be, but said it wasn't necessary and didn't try to gouge every dime out of me. When I couldn't figure out why my leopard gecko was eating, they offered to let me drop her off and pick her up after work and even called to let me know she was basically ovulating and needed to lay infertile eggs! Her prices are reasonable and you really get top notch service from every one, from the phone to the desk to the core staff and finally, the doc herself. I live far form this place, but I will never take my animals anywhere else. I really enjoy my visits and I learn so much from them with every visit.

I stumbled upon this veterinary clinic through a fellow Yelper, Steph. I also tried to contact other vets to see if they specialize in rabbits but I got turned down most of the time as many vets only see dogs and cats. I initially brought in my rabbit, Bunzi, for a large abscess on the side of her face. The vet technicians and doctors were really concerned after they saw Bunzi's face. They explained to me each time what they were going to do and brought her to the operating room. First, Bunzi needed her face to be shaved off so they can see underneath the abscess. Her wound was then cleaned up and sutured up for stitches. I was so scared because Bunzi had to have metal staples to her face and I felt so bad for my poor baby since I could not do much to help alleviate the pain she was going through. The vet came back and explained that they had to suture it that way so that there would be drainage of any other discharge. I was advised to feed Bunzi some critical care, TMS, and Meloxicam. My bill turned out to be a lot more expensive that I had anticipated, but I had to do whatever it took to heal my little princess.I have been to the vet several times after the visit and the vet techs and techs have been nothing but caring during this whole process. The vet techs taught me how to feed Bunzi the medication, give her shots, and even wrap her in a bunny burrito. Fast foward to 2 months later, Bunzi is almost all healed up from her abscess and she is going to be the happiest bun ever. I am so lucky to have found Dr. Sanchez and Dr. Brick to see my princess Bunzi. I am planning to bring Smores and Bunzi to see these great vets for yearly checkups! Also, Dr. Brick also specializes in turtles, birds, dogs, cats, and many other exotic animals!!

Words can't describe the compassion I received when I arrived here with my guinea pig. The Dr stopped what she was doing to take her in and then came out to me to discuss options. Although it was too late and my poor guinea passed away within minutes, they were so amazing and thoughtful. I will now be bringing my other three animals to them from now on. Please keep doing what you're doing. Best staff ever!

Dr brick is as good as it get's. She literally saved my cat's life....going in for surgery on my kitty that was severEly ill vomiting and out the other end as well for days!!! She did not jump the gun but waited to be sure he wouldn't turn around on his own. Then when it was the only option , she did surgery to remove obstruction that turned out to be severly infected..LONG STORY SHORT my cat would have been cruising the RAINBOW BRIDGE but Dr. Brick snatched him back for us and we will be indeted to her forever! Did it cost a bundle ...yes...it was surgery people ..... then iv, and meds...regardless...we're thrilled. Normal prices are VERY LOW too ...do surgeries add up to be big bucks, YES...but normal stuff is super low here. WE ARE BIG FANS OF DR BRICK.

I adopted a rabbit from the SPCA and found out he had several chronic illnesses. I contacted my local rabbit rescue to ask who the best rabbit vet in the area was and they of course referred me to Dr. Brick. I worked with her and the AMAZING staff closely for 6 years dealing with the many issues my rabbit had. From early morning drop offs, overnight stays and several surgeries, there is no other vet I would have trusted as I did Dr. Brick. The staff truly cares for the families and the pets as if they were their own. The receptionist, Laura is always welcoming and a joy to talk to while waiting. I will never take my animals to anywhere other than Madison Ave Veterinary Clinic.

I have been taking my dogs here for nine years. My sister and her husband are the ones that told me about this place and how amazing it is. when my dog Butters had gotten bit by a big dog about a month or so ago I had to bring him to emergency vet. unfortunately it was busy here so I had to bring them to a different vet after he got out of there for emergency surgery and they did not do the job that I was used to like Dr. Brick does. After going to this place in Rocklin and them charging me up the wazoo. I called to see if I could get in with Dr. brick and she was so reasonable with everything. She communicated with the other vet that I went to prior for his surgery and already knew everything that was going on with him when I got there which definitely put my mind at ease with my pup. Being able to tell that she cared about Butters well being is very comforting as well. She was so reasonable with the cost with what he needed done. The other place was going to be charging me around $500 to do something that she did for $130. It's great to see that there is someone that's out there who actually care about the animal rather than just the money that they're making off of helping them.Because of Madison Avenue vet my dog is back is to his normal self when I didn't think he was going to be able to. I would highly recommend anyone to bring their pet here!!!!!

This is *the* place to go for exotic animal care. I have pet rats and this place knows and understands that rats are intelligent, caring pets. The staff is amazing and all of them handled my babies like the little people they think they are. The vet has a ton of experience with small mammals, and she was honest and personable. They took the time to show me the best ways to give oral medicine and clip his nails. If you have pet rats or another exotic I can not recommend this vet enough. Any one who has ever owned rats understands the challenges of finding a vet who "gets" it - look no more.
I also have a cat. She recently had a successful and very reasonably priced surgery performed at this clinic. I trusted them with her life and was not disappointed.
Added bonus - it's next to a karate center, so you get to hear adorable little children hi-yaing if you're lucky with timing.

Dr Maryann Brick is well known in the Sacramento Area as a specialist in exotic animals, from reptiles, birds, bunnies, mice, guinea pigs, etc. as well as dogs and cats. She won awards from the Dept. of Wildlife for working with exotic wildlife. I belonged to rabbit rescue and over the years, she has cared for my 11 Bunnies from the day I adopted them, to the day they took their last breath; And continues to do so. If her staff asks lots of questions, it is because they don't miss much in their diagnosis and care of the animals in their charge. Her passion and focus is in giving the animals the quality of life they deserve. If you're shopping for the cheapest vet for your pet's immediate needs only, you are putting your precious pet at risk; Dr. Brick is probably not the vet for you, and heaven help your pet.

Dr. Brick is an incredible veterinarian. She is very knowledgeable about a variety of critters. She's considered the "go to" doctor for birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc. She's very involved with wildlife associations. She's very warm and personable and does a very thorough examination. She's excellent at explaining her findings and suggesting options for treatment. Her clients adore her and if you ever meet her yourself, you will quickly see why.

My baby girl had her first appointment here last week and I was pleasantly surprised. The receptionist was friendly and genuinely interested in my pet, she remembered other customers by name. The vet techs spent time with me and took an active interest in my pet's health. The vet actually spent extra time with my dog checking for lumps. Plus, their pricing is competitive and the pricing for Heartgard was the lowest I've ever seen! The receptionist explained that heartworm was a seriously painful ordeal and she hates the sound of dogs in pain from heartworm treatment, so they chose to sell Heartgard at a lower price to encourage owners to administer it. How great is that? That's just not something you hear from a vet office.

Went in to have my guinea pig, Mr. JumpyTiny, fixed. To start off, the phone conversation explaining the procedure as well as the doctor's experience with rodent neuters was professional, friendly and informative. The hours were extremely convenient for my 9 to 5 work schedule, as I dropped him off in the morning. A few hours later, a vet tech left a pleasant message on my voice mail, saying that everything went perfectly and that Mr. JumpyTiny was ready to be picked up. Went to get him and the vet tech kindly explained all of the aftercare procedures and demonstrated how to properly feed and medicate the lil guinea pig. Everything was fantastic, not to mention all the costs and fees were presented up front, never changed and very economical! I will only trust these folks for my guinea pig care in the future, they made a customer for life by being so great!

Unfortunately there are not 10 stars to give, so five will have to do. When it comes to the care of our family, which includes our animals second best is unthinkable , that is why Dr. Marianne Brick has been our Dr. of choice without question. for many years.Dr Brick and the entire staff is caring, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable with a professional demeanor unmatched by anyone I have encountered in the field.In our family are lovely domestic pet rats, a blue and gold macaw and an African Grey parrot, these are delicate and complex creatures which require a tremendous amount of skillful care, Dr. Brick has saved the life of several of our little ones over the years, and we owe her an undying debt of gratitude and respect.I cannot stress strongly enough that if you care, truly care for your animal, you will visit and get to know Dr. Brick and staff, it will be a decision you will never regret, and like I, you will probably be very grateful for.Raleigh AdamsSacramento

We had a wonderful experience with this vet. We brought our soft shelled Turtle, Bob to be examined. It's a long story how Bob got sick in the first place, but the entire staff was very attentive and helpful. They spent nearly 1.5 hours educating us on proper care. They were extremely knowledgeable. They were also very considerate, giving us all the information and time necessary to make the difficult decision to try and treat treat or put Bob down. Unfortunately we had to put him down, as he was really suffering.I highly recommend them and will return in the future, hopefully under better circumstances.

I am not a client at this clinic because, I just called to get a pricing for a spay on a dog. The woman who answered the phone sounded annoyed and asked a ton of questions. I had to ask her again - what is the price? And then she listed a TON of fees one by one - almost like she didn't want my business. And they were VERY expensive!! Over $170.00 + meds for a 11 lb Westie!!! Are you kidding me? You'll never get business with this kind of bad attitude. My rating = NO stars!!!!

I LOVE this Doctor and staff. They were concerned enough with the described symptoms that they didn't want me to wait until next available (3 days later) and fit me in the same day (with a warning that there would be a wait). Lastly, Dr. Brick called me the following day to see how my bird was doing. On a sad note. I brought my bird three times before we opted to do an xray. It turns out that my bird had ingested heavy metal and the treatments weren't really helping . I'm not blaming Dr. Brick. I wish we had the xray on the first visit. I understand small birds are complicated and symptoms could mean many things. Unfortunately, my bird did suffer and I had to make the hard decision to put her to sleep.Would I go back? YES.
