Took my bunny here because he had ear infection. We have been treated here for a month and there was NO improvement at all and cost a lot! The doctor told me the infection was NOT caused by bacteria, however my bunny gets better immediately after treated by antibacterial in another hospital. Absolutely overpriced and unprofessional. Not recommend at all.

Took my rabbit in because she was sneezing and was told her teeth were looking overgrown, but it could be potentially fixed with a change in diet. They suggested a follow up, most vets don't change for a follow up appointment, but the instant I came back and the vet started suggesting surgery and pushing for blood work and other tests, I knew there would be a charge for the follow up and I was disappointed.... I already paid over $100 for the first time appointment and then to be told it was another $70 for the follow up....like other reviewers said, it feels like a cash grab....

More expensive than the other places. We dont believe in shopping for the lowest, but we do expect being competitive. Unfortunately we only found out after our last big procedure with Delton. 30 to 35 percent more is significant for surgical procedures. When we started calling Delton for quotes, we noticed a drop in response time. We went to another clinic today, and i stand by my review in terms of competitive pricing.

Tried to diagnose my cats diarrhea issues, their tests showed nothing while another vet tests showed roundworms (Delton supposedly dewormed him in July), a bacterial infection and feline Corona Virus. The medication they sold me before even having done a fecal test, would not work for any of these things...fortunately I couldn't get the liquid form into him and by time they got the right dosage in pill form I had called a new vet who had told me to wait to see what his laboratory fecal pcv test showed. She also checked his teeth and said since he had broken teeth removed at the shelter, they should

All in all I had a good experience coming here. I brought in my budgie, who had developed a case of pododermatitis (bumblefoot). I found all of the staff to be friendly, accommodating, and professional. Dr. Kachur was great - knowledgeable, friendly, and she was able to diagnose the problem and prescribe a treatment that had my bird fixed up in no time. I gave 4 stars simply because for the first visit, my bird was kept and examined in a separate room, while I was in another exam room, alone. However, I requested to be present for the exam during the follow-up visit, and they were very accommodating
