Barbara S. replied:
Diane It's so nice to know that we have so many good avian vets on LI. I do recommend Dr. Hoefer but I've heard great things about Dr. Mehlrose and Dr. Greco. I did have a bad experience with one of the vets on Long Island that was mentioned in this thread but they are not board certified avian vets and I would suggest to make sure that the vet your friend goes to is a board certified avian vet.

I think I may need an avian vet. Looking for recommendations in Selden area. We went away on vacation for 2 weeks and had my parents care for our pets in our home. ...

You need a board certified avian vet. I strongly recommend Dr. Heidi Hoeffer in Huntington Station. It's a bit of a ride from Selden ... but she is the best. She saved the lives of both my birds more than once.

Old Country Animal Clinic. Dr Monaco - he's an avian specialist. 516-938-7218. Hoping for the best wherever you take him!!! Don't wait long. They rarely "act" sick..its a survival thing..when they appear sick they are easy prey in the wild. Good luck..let us know how things go.

It's far from you, but Dr. Malka, and Dr. Renna in Great Neck are fantastic.

Selden is 30 min from Old Country Animal Hospital. That’s not far but he doesn’t have emergency hours. The emergency animal hospital on sunrise in West in West Islip I believe has an exotic vet on call.

If it's an emergency the Veterinary Hospital in Islip on Sunrise was literally a life saver on several occasions. It's about 20 minutes away but they are open 24 hours I believe. VMLI I think

Dr Pilny at Center for Avian & Exotic Medicine, NYC. Been using him for years. No surprise charges. He will talk to you for about 20-30 minutes. Everything spelled out for you before he examines the bird. You can add/remove from recommended tests based on issue.

Sheryl E. replied:
Island exotics....Heidi hoefer,Dr Davis
Shelly S. replied:
Dr. Malka is excellent. He is in Great Neck. Dr. Renna works with him, and she is also wonderful.
Abbe H. replied:
After reading another post where Dr Hoefer’s staff would not squeeze in what at the time appeared to an emergency I would no longer recommend her especially since this bird was already an established client.
Jean M. replied:
Dr. Monaco, Old Country Animal in plainview!
Christina D. replied:
I agree with dr. Monaco. He's always taken excellent care of my budgies when they've gotten sick. Dr. Malka is great also, but they were a bit more expensive there and wanted to run a lot of tests that I unfortunately couldn't afford and also personally felt were unnecessary
Can anyone recommend an Aviary vet in the Nassau area?? But not the one in Great Neck... I found them to be quite expensive and lacking personality... Next year I want...
Joan N. replied:
I use Dr Monaco in Plainview. Old Country Animal Hospital.
Stefanie G. replied:
Some of these recommendations are not avian vets FYI so be careful bc you really should only see a board certified avian veterinarian. Dr Monaco is boarded and so is Heidi Hoefer at island exotic veterinary care in Huntington they're wonderful!
Michelle L. replied:
Thank You Stefanie Garrett
Jennifer M. replied:
Just go see Heidi Hoefer in Huntington Station she's the best there is I've been going to her for 26 years she's probably saved half my flock and they are all special needs by that I mean blind cancer amputees all sorts of things

I go to old country animal clinic also. Definitely most affordable. Dr. Monaco is the best!

Mary R. replied:
There is a place on Sunrise in West Islip. They have one avian vet there. She got her degree about 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure she can do a wellness check but if something was an emergency during the day I would totally get to Dr. Hoeffer as I'm not sure just how much experience she really gets there since they are not truly an exotic animal business.
Joan N. replied:
I don't believe that they see birds however VMCLI is very close in Islip on Sunrise Hwy and Dr. Mehlrose is an avian vet. 587-0800
Cay T. replied:
I use Dr Mehlrose at VMCLI and I have been really happy with him and his staff, including during the 4 months we battled my lovebird's cancer. Hoeffer and Monaco are both great but a bit of a schlep, and as much as I love Dr Monaco my birds never seem to have emergencies when he's available. I feel better knowing the have my fids' records and Dr Mehlrose on call if I have an emergency off hours
Keith C. replied:
Dr. Melrose - VMCLI #1 place 4 ur pets.

Vickie G. replied:
Not caring? Did you mean Dr. Hoefer who traveled in during a blizzard to check on my already hospitalized bird on her day off and then stayed with him all day because he wasnt' doing well? It isn't appropriate for you to imply on here that any of the doctors don't care about their patients. We each have our preferences and our reasons why, everyone has to find their own fit.

MaryAnn C. replied:
Dr. Hoefer is amazing. She saved the lives of my birds a couple of times. In my book -- she's the best!
Julie K. replied:
Dr. Pilney at the Center for Avian and Exotic in Manhattan. Would follow him anywhere. There cannot be anyone better. (Though, if running to the upper west side in Manhattan is too far, I have heard good things about Dr. Monaco.)
Julie K. replied:
Well, I think Dr. Pilny isn't that far from Queens. As I said, I'd follow him anywhere. He has taken care of my two babies for 10 plus years and others I know in the bird community in NYC think VERY highly of him. He is knowledgeable, kind and caring. Very reponsive. As a matter of fact, I've met a number of rabbit owners and one ferret owner that feel the same about him. I did know a woman who had worked for Dr. Monaco some years ago. She always spoke very highly of him. I believe she continued to go to him with her birds and to recommend him even after she stopped working there. He is pretty easy to get to from Queens as well. I hope, whoever you choose to go to, your babies remain healthy and happy.
Marie T. replied:
I'm also in Queens. And see Dr. Pilny for my ferrets. I've since rehomed my foster tiels, but do know several parrot owners who see him. It takes me about an hour with traffic to get to The Center.
