Medical Center For Birds 3807 Main Street, Oakley, CA 94561

"We've been taking our chickens here and nowhere else for over 6 years. The first time we visited with an ill chicken, I was worried that our chicken wouldn't be seen as an equal patient, and would be seen merely as livestock. It ended up being the complete opposite. Each one of our chickens has always been treated like any other pet, with love, respect and compassion by everyone: from Gail and the other ladies working reception, to the vet techs, to the doctors. We've brought our hens in for various reasons: treatment for illness, compassionate send-offs over the rainbow bridge, and necropsies. Each time, we've always felt confident that our hens were getting the best possible care."

"I can see why people come from all over to this wonderful place. I felt welcomed from start to finish. Major kudos to the front desk for demonstrating great customer service and care. The ladies in the front knew I came from SF and offered me coffee and even called me to come inside a little bit earlier than my appt. My lil Johnny came in for a possible infection and the vet and nurse who did the examination was so kind,gentle and very through.I didn't feel like I was getting cheated or forced to do tests on my bird. I was happy that he got to go home with medicine and we will back a week from now. And yes the price for the visit is a bit of a sticker shock. However i'll determine by the next visit if the price is reasonable but in the meantime I feel that this facility is the best in the bay area and worth the drive."

"all i can say is OUTSTANDING! first of all, they got me in for an appointment quickly! second thing, is there is passion. i was blessed to have Vanessa as our vet for our sick rooster Snowflake❄️! she was so gentle and compassionate! they did what they could to make my rooster comfortable and possibly better which wasn’t the odds. Vanessa was so gentle during the process of putting down my rooster. She made me comfortable and feel 100% that i made the right decision. my rooster went peacefully and they did whatever they could. thank you from the bottom of my heart Vanessa for treating my bird and I with so much respect and love. Vanessa was so understanding and not invasive when it comes to care. she really takes into consideration the state of the animal. i highly recommend this Vet hospital for any chicken! thank you again! ❄️❤️"

"My 20-year-old green cheek conure developed cancer (a cloacal carcinoma) and I brought her into this medical center for treatment. She received two months of chemo (2 doses every three weeks) and in the third month, she went in for surgery. Two months later, she has no remergence of cancerous or cystic tissue. It cost me 3000$ to get her full treatment and, despite the stress for me and both of my birds, every dollar was worth it. My green cheek may now happily live to 30 years old, because of Dr Baden and Dr Speer. Dr Baden administered chemo to her and both doctors partook in her surgery. My tiny, snuggly, sassy dragon-bird means so much to me and I'll forever be grateful to the doctors here who saved her. Every day counts. [Update] Over a year later, my green cheek has no signs of relapse. The site of her previous tumor is healthy, no excessive scarring and no abnormal tissue. I still think about how, without Dr. Baden and Speer, my bird would not be with me today. They saved her and gave her the chance to feel years more of love, play, and head-scratches."

"The level of service here is unparalleled. I found an abandoned green cheek over 3 years ago. Recently she became very I'll. After doing some research online, I knew MCB was the place to take her. From the beginning of her stay, to the end of her stay, my bird received the best care possible. She was in ICU over the Thanksgiving holiday. Eventhough they were closed, someone went in to check on her. I was sent updates via text, including pictures. I was called with regular updates also. Someone even drew a portrait of her. I wholeheartedly believe they saved my bird's life and I'm eternally grateful. Thank you to the doctors, the techs and anyone else who was involved in her care. I hope she never needs care again, but if she does, I know where to bring her."
