I went to see Dr Dicky for my Indian ringnecks eye. Turned out he was fine and doctor recommended Harrison's high potency pellets and some vitamin water for my 5 month old bird. I was told by the doctor and the lady who checked me out to add it to my birds water everyday. A month later my bird passed away very suddenly. He was only 6 months old. I did some research and digging and found out the Harrisons high potency was not to be giving with other vitamins. Additionally the vitamin water was not supposed to be given daily! I did not think to research this beforehand because I thought I could trust a vet who does this for a living!!

I would like to start out by saying Dr. Dickey's staff are excellent. Very friendly and helpful. The problem itself was with Dr. Dickey. My Ozzy who is a monk parakeet (aka Quaker parrot) had a accident with a door and fell. Dr. Dickeys staff were able to fit us in immediately. I was over the top upset about my parrots accident and definitely not exactly 100 percent thinking clearly. Dickey, had me take Ozzy out so he could examine him. Then said he will do some X-rays to see if anything was broken. He did not put Ozzy to sleep for this. Which is NOT good practice. I could hear my boy SCREAMING as this man has him splayed open not even knowing if anything was broken. Thankfully there wasn't any broken bones.. he wanted to keep him over night to make sure he will eat and keep a eye on him. 300$ deposit. No problem. Said he would call the following morning. Following morning no call. My husband called to get a update. Sounded like everything was good. Said they would call in the afternoon for update. Afternoon update dickey said my bird wasn't responding and he thought he may have some brain damage. My heart sunk. Went to go check on him and see what was going on. While I was waiting in the lobby (forever I might add) there were two couples there with larger parrots. One lady with a Amazon parrot told me that Dr. Dickey is horrible with small breed parrots. She told me he does not know how to sedate small parrots and because of this she had to put down her sick Quaker parrot who had tumors. Definitely things started clicking in my head. He didn't sedate my poor guy for X-rays and I found that wrong. Anyway.. I was brought back into the room to wait some more and finally a staff member brought Ozzy to me. She told me he was eating a little seed here and there.. but they had to syringe feed him as well and she gave him fluids via syringe as well. Told me about his meds and when to give them. How to fix his food for hand feeding ext. She actually was more informative then Dr. Dickey. We went out to pay our bill and yet again wait. Front desk said she literally had to wait for Dr. Dickey to hit a button on the computer to okay the bill lol wtf!! They were not allowed to bug him either. So we were waiting for at least a half hour and then he wanted us to come back to the room. He told me that he thinks Ozzy has brain damage and he wasn't responding like a "normal parrot" and with luck he will be ok and still live a somewhat normal life. Dude, my bird don't know you firstly and was scared outta his mind of you! Of course he isn't responding. That was basically it. Paid our bill and went home. Here's the WORST part! We get home and Ozzy is happy to see his pal. I get ready to give him some of his meds and notice there is fresh blood under his wing!!! That doctor didn't say anything about this! He had a bone protruding. Ever so slightly. Something happened to him at that place and he failed to tell me! I fixed him up with a pet safe sealant and nursed him for probably over a week. His beak was bruised (which he also said nothing about) I know that definitely was from his fall, and also the reason he wasn't eating on his own. Eventually and with lots of love and care my boy is back to his normal self EXCEPT he still can't fly. Due to that doctors negligence! Pretty sure he has torn ligaments. He is talking normal and everything else. No brain damage. Do not, I repeat do not bring your small parrot here!!! He doesn't know how to properly care for them!! PPS. Also.. I emailed him with my complaints with no reply. About sums up his professionalism.

It's a two hour round trip for us, but we do it because Dr. Dickey is the best vet in the Valley, bar none. We bring our dog regularly but he's also seen a number of our chickens. His kindness and compassion for every one of them - even the most pathetic little chicken - is simply astounding. We leave each visit with a reasonable bill, and knowing that our animals are in the best of care.

Very nice atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. We found a stray kitten, at Palmerton Park, and asked them to scan her for any microchip information. They did so without hesitation. We were able to find the owners shortly after.

I brought my friends dog Max here it was very impressive how the staff is with Max . She got down on the floor and let him smell her arm and talked to him real sweet. It was a good experience for Max and he deserves it , he's such a good little dog. I highly recommend this place it's expensive but worth every penny. Thank you so much your help is really appreciated. Xo
