Dr. Locke is not only a great vet, but a compassionate person. She has seen multiple pets through the span of their lifetime with us. I’m so thankful for a quick work-in for our girl. We would never go anywhere else.

I brought my first exotic pet - my bearded dragon, Neko, here for an issue with his tail. They never talked down to me because it’s my first exotic and never treated me like I didn’t know how to care for him. They were so respectful and just wanting to help me raise a healthy baby dragon. I felt confident and comfortable with them beyond words. I drive an hour to bring my dragon to them and they were well worth it! My exotic vet for life

Questions & Answers

Do they treat ball pythons? Recently rescued a 7 month old ball python from being thrown outside to die because it has refused food for a month now. I have reason to believe he/she has a respiratory infection. Wondering how much treatment would be.
