That’s why we’ve made it our mission to provide top-tier services tailored specifically for exotic animals.

Kudos from Our Clients

“Having had numerous types of pets and vet experiences throughout my life, I can not say enough positive about my experience visiting MEAMS yesterday for the first time with our bearded dragon and a hamster. Dr Medlin is so warm and caring and knowledgeable. As other reviews have indicated, he is very straightforward and compassionate while also realistic and not making a money grab with any unnecessary suggestions or procedures. Highly recommend!”
Jesyca Virnig
“I have had pets my entire life and Dr. Medlin is hands down the best veterinarian that I have ever met. … He is not only the most knowledgeable exotic animal Veterinarian I’ve ever met, he is also kind, patient and sympathetic. Being a healthcare provider myself, I can only hope to provide my patients with the same level of care that receive every time I walk into his office.”

Our Deposit Policy

To schedule your first exam, you will need to put down a deposit equal to the cost of an examination. This deposit is refundable up until 24 hours before the time of the appointment. During the 24 hour window of the appointment, if you cancel the appointment or do not show up to the appointment, we will not be able to refund the deposit. Appointments made the same day are non-refundable. Please call our office for the most up to date pricing information and to schedule an examination.

What You Can Expect and How You Can Prepare for Your First Appointment

The first appointment at Medlin Exotics will vary depending on the animal that you bring and what its needs are at the time of its arrival. However, there are three basic portions that you can expect. These are:

  1. A thorough evaluation and review of your husbandry
  2. A physical exam by an experienced exotic veterinarian
  3. Recommendations for additional diagnostics and treatments

 

Many illnesses of exotic animals can be directly attributed to deficiencies in husbandry. Please complete our husbandry and new client paperwork prior to the first exam to help expedite this process. Filling out the paperwork ahead of time can also give you an opportunity to list the specific brands and compositions of food, substrate, etc. that your pet uses, which can help us guide you as optimally and specifically as possible.
Please aim to arrive fifteen minutes early to your scheduled appointment so that we are able to have enough time to complete each of these three tasks and have time to address all of your concerns.
