I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Guerrera, Maddi, and the entire team at Exotic Pet Vets. A little over a year ago, our rabbit Bunyon developed a hernia and a severe UTI after being neutered by a veterinarian who did not specialize in rabbits. We were devastated and desperately searching for someone with the expertise to help him. That's when we found Dr. Guerrera, and I am so grateful we did. Dr. Guerrera repaired Bunyon's hernia, prescribed the proper treatment to resolve his UTI, and has continued to provide exceptional care ever since. He has an incredible wealth of knowledge and always takes the time to explain things in a way that is easy to understand. More importantly, he genuinely cares about his patients and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure they receive the best possible care. Because of him, Bunyon is thriving today. At our most recent visit, we were fortunate to work with Maddi, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly thorough and made sure Bunyon was comfortable and cared for. She offered him treats, handled him with such gentleness, and showered him with love and affection. Before we left, she even told him she loved him and gave him extra snuggles, which absolutely melted my heart. What truly stood out was her dedication to both Bunyon and me. Even after we had already checked out, I mentioned that I wasn't feeling confident about administering his liquid medication. Without hesitation, Maddi got down on the lobby floor and patiently showed me exactly how to do it. She demonstrated the bunny burrito technique, provided clear instructions, and made sure I felt comfortable before leaving. Her kindness, patience, and confidence made all the difference. Later that evening, she went above and beyond once again by sending me a text after hours to let me know that Bunyon's bloodwork results wouldn't be available until the next day. She didn't want me worrying all night, and that small act of compassion means more to me than she probably realizes. Maddi is truly a gem. Her warmth, compassion, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Combined with Dr. Guerrera's expertise and dedication, this is hands down the best veterinary experience I've ever had. We trust Exotic Pet Vets with all of our exotic pets, not just Bunyon. We also bring our box turtle, Spike, and our pigeons here, and they receive the same level of exceptional care, compassion, and expertise. It's incredibly reassuring to know that no matter which of our animals needs help, they're in knowledgeable and caring hands. I also appreciate that they offer Cherry payment options, which makes veterinary care much more accessible and manageable compared to many other clinics. If you have a rabbit or any exotic pet, I wholeheartedly recommend Exotic Pet Vets. They have earned my trust completely, and I wouldn't take Bunyon, Spike, or our pigeons anywhere else. read more

For those folks who have an exotic animal as part of their lives, Colorado Exotic Animal Hospital ("CoEx") is a wonderful resource. 'Excellence' is their standard of operation. I have a macaw parrot named Happy. She had a Wellness Exam at CoEx on May 30, 2025. It was our first visit to CoEx, and I was VERY impressed. Here are some highlights: ** CoEx ONLY treats exotics -- no cats or dogs. That means less stress in the waiting room for exotic pets (for which cats and dogs are natural predators). ** The process of taking my bird's history was very detailed, and included questions that no other vet-clinic has ever inquired about (such as, "What is the daily schedule of the bird in regards to waking/sleeping, activities, and energy level?" and "What size is the bird's cage? and how is it furnished?"). ** CoEx has a vet who is board-certified in Avian Medicine: Dr Brenna Fitzgerald. ** Dr Fitzgerald is obviously very experienced with big birds, and she performed a thorough and competent exam of my macaw. Of special note is this: neither the exam nor the doctor's communication with me was at all rushed -- Dr Fitzgerald communicated with me clearly about everything she observed, she told me her conclusions, and she explained the steps going forward. It seems that her intent is 'collaborative care,' which is a welcome change from my past experiences with vets. ** The scheduling, check-in, and check-out processes were easy. The website is intuitive and robust. And the hours of operation (9am to 6pm, every day of the week) are the most accessible I've ever seen in a veterinary setting. In all, I would say that Colorado Exotic Animal Hospital sets the benchmark for "Best Practices in a Veterinary Facility". read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ruoff and her team. From the moment I brought my hamster in, she treated her with incredible compassion, kindness, and professionalism. My hamster had developed a large cyst that was affecting her mobility. Dr. Ruoff carefully evaluated the situation and took the time to ensure she received the best possible care. During surgery, she discovered that the cyst was highly vascular and also found abnormal tissue. Rather than simply removing the obvious cyst, she was exceptionally meticulous and thorough, carefully removing all of the abnormal tissue she could identify. Her attention to detail, surgical precision, and dedication to doing the job right gave me tremendous confidence that my little hamster was in the best possible hands. What impressed me most was how much genuine care and compassion Dr. Ruoff showed. She treated my tiny hamster as though she were just as important as any other patient. It's clear that she truly loves what she does and is committed to providing the highest level of care. Finding a veterinarian who combines outstanding surgical skill with such kindness and compassion is rare. I am incredibly grateful for everything Dr. Ruoff did for my hamster, and I would not hesitate to trust her with any of my pets in the future. If you're looking for a veterinarian who is knowledgeable, compassionate, incredibly thorough, and truly goes above and beyond for her patients, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ruoff. She exceeded every expectation, and I am forever grateful for the exceptional care she provided. read more

Dr. Guerrera is fantastic. I can't say enough good things about him. I've gone to him for years and he's always been friendly, frank, kind, gentle, and dedicated to finding solutions to help my pet no matter how big or small they are. He interacts with each animal with ease, awareness, confidence, and with acceptance of whatever comes with the job - biting, being peed on, etc. It makes a world of difference in making them more comfortable. The other staff at CEAH are also fantastic - friendly from the start and very patient and supportive of me when I've been freaking out about the condition of my furry family member. My only wish is that this place was closer to where I live! read more

Was very worried about my bird as he had been very lethargic for the last couple of days. They were able to get him in that day even though it was New Year's Eve day. Dr. Brenna Fitzgerald was very knowledgable and thorough when it came to examining Diego (a service which is very hard to find). She provided a thorough recommendation with explanation, explained the results and provided a plan forward. Diego recovered in a couple of days like Dr. Fitzgerald thought he would and they were quick to call and check-in to make sure all was well. I highly recommend them for your bird care! read more

The staff here are very friendly and inviting.Every vet tech and Vet doctor was caring and explained every thing in a knowledgeable and empathetic way. When my beloved bearded dragon became ill, he was given the best care and consideration. All of his options were explained well and with kindness. In the end, he did not make it but this office provided so much support and compassion in his passing. They made a beautiful ceramic mold of his hands, feet and tail and were so gentle and understanding when explaining the options. I highly recommend this facility to anyone considering it. read more

Today I brought my Guinea pig in for an emergency visit. The staff was very loving and kind throughout the whole process. Sadly, my little one did not make it but they gave me updates and were so thoughtful and comforting after she passed. They did a clay pawprint stamped with her name, and made sure to explain to me what had happened and to assure me that there was nothing I could have done to prevent it. I will be bringing my other Guinea to them for wellness exams in the near future. While it was a sad outcome, I left knowing that she had been in good hands while being there. read more

My African grey, Simon, was very ill when I brought him in to see Dr. Fitzgerald. After a thorough evaluation and tests he was diagnosed with lead poisoning. Dr. Fitzgerald wrote up a detailed treatment plan and communicated with Simon's vet in Boulder. She also kept in contact with me over the phone an by e-mail. She is very precise in her communication and she clearly loves birds. She is a real gem and I am so grateful to her for saving Simon's life! read more

They are delightful people who cheer me up with their lovely smiles and stories about their own pets. If you want great exotic vet care, COEAH is definitely your place!! read more
