Review from Ella B.
Vancouver, BC
7/28/2011
I needed a vet knowledgable about hedgehogs and after my last experience with another vet I was very cautious looking for a new one.
I went to this vet as a walkby and the veterinary assistant was so wonderful and helpful. She even made several phone calls to see if the vet that specializes in hedgehogs that was not in that day was working at a different clinic that day. I made an appointment to see Dr. Chow and she was warm and friendly with my hedgie. She has taken an additional 2 years of training to specialize in small pets (hedgehogs, rodents etc) which reassured me she understood the specific things to look for in a hedgehog.
There is definately a vibe that animal lovers work there. I only gave this four stars only for the reason that the hedgehog vet is not there every day but works at a few clinics rotating. That can be frustrating in an emergency. Otherwise it would have been five stars.
There is plenty of parking as this is an old style shopping mall in richmond.
