You are NOT a priority if your animal is dying. Kutos to Dr. Riggs who could figure out that my ferret had a rare terminal illness, but that’s all he is good for. There is absolutely no bedside manner, no communication as far as financially or updates about your animal especially when they are staying overnight-so they can get an extra buck. If you took your car in for a big repair, the car shop at least call you before they put on the part so they know they will get paid. This place just does it and takes advantage of your vulnerability of a dying pet. You know it is common decency that when someone dear to you is dying, that you take care when talking with the loved one close to who is dying. I got none of that. This baby of mine was a piece of property to them. This place has no heart at all, but they were sure to bill me. I wonder if my bill would have been less if he had called me the day he was supposed to call me and I pick her up a day earlier because he already knew what was wrong with her the first couple hours he had her. But they will be sure to mooch off of any terminally ill animal and take your money and be heartless about doing it stating they are busy.

Horrible. I took my dog there almost a year complaining about how my dogs symptoms were getting worse and new symptoms kept arriving. It got to the point to where the dog had to be on severe pain medication to even be able to try to walk around the house. They kept saying that the dog was old and that the dog had osteoporosis and that this was just normal the dog lost 20 pounds in a year and they said that the dog was actually at its normal weight. It got to the point to where we were calling or taking the dog at least once a week to the vet and they still couldnt tell me anything useful I finally decide to take the dog to another doctor which immediately found the problem. because the problem was found later it may be too late to save my dog. I would caution that anybody that wants a new vet or that is going here would find another vet. I feel that they misdiagnosed my dog and they fail to listen to the complaints that we had about the dog.

We take our birds to Dr. Riggs for care. One of our birds has an obsession with water and would drink 10 times the amount of his daily dosage. I felt comfortable leaving him with Dr. Riggs and his staff. Griffin was there for the weekend the first time around but we took him back a few months later for observation and more intense testing and he was there for a week. I feel we have a good handle on his problem now and if he needs further treatment we have a game plan. Dr. Riggs called everyday (him, not his staff or secretary) and gave me updates on Griffs diagnosis and plans for treatment along with the days tests results. I recommend him for anyone having birdie issues, he has done great with ours. After Griff came home he still calls and checks on him to be sure his treatment is working.

I take my parrots to Dr. Riggs. I find he is very knowledgeable and competent. We drive an hour from our home to his clinic and feel lucky that we are within driving distance. His expertise is a rare find. As someone else mentioned, he calls personally to give me daily updates on my pets when they stay at the clinic. Also, the Vet Techs he has working there and the office lady are competent, thoughtful and kind. I have been to both the Barberton and Wadsworth locations and have had nothing but good experience with Dr Riggs and his team.

This is a great clinic, especially for exotics. Recently, my turtle had a cloacal prolapse, and I was terrified. The staff and the doctor were very friendly and compassionate. I was able to get an appointment the same day, too! I would definitely recommend this practice for anyone with a reptile exotic. They took very good care of my little Oscar, even on such short notice.

Dr. Riggs was extremely kind and caring to us and our rabbit. He offered advice, engaged in conversation with us, and knew exactly how to handle a rabbit on the exam table. Our rabbit hardly flinched except for one time with the assistant and it was handled professionally. I would highly recommend going to this clinic and we will be returning in the future. :)

Dr. Terihay saw my cats for a checkup. Both are traumatized and haven’t come out from hiding for days. One is limping; the other has a deformed eye that may never heal. Neither of those problems existed prior to the visit. Too bad I cant post pictures; it is heartbreaking to see a cat go from a stunning beauty to deformed in one visit to a vet.

I would highly suggest Barberton Veterinary Clinic and their other location in Wadsworth. The vet was extremely knowledgeable about my birds condition and was warm and loving towards her. I truly felt like she receives the best possible care there and they really do care about her well-being by calling and checking up on her.

Dr. Riggs did surgery on our Umbrella Cockatoo, Peanut. She is our baby! He knew exactly what she needed for her prolapsed vent. I cant say enough to tell how happy we are with the service and treatment we received at Barberton Veterinary Clinic, from Dr. Riggs, and staff! Thank you so very much!!!

Dr Ben Bedore saw our hedgehog CiCi for a mass on her leg. It was large and near her ankle and I was sure she would be in a lot of pain and discomfort. Well that was this afternoon. She is currently running all over the place and her leg hardly even looks wounded. I am impressed! -Kristie

Took my snake in for a tooth abcess. Doctor Bedore took care of it in not more than an hour, and I really feel like he got the best care possible. Will definitely be bringing all three of my snakes back from now on. First place Ive felt was actually knowledgeable about exotics!

I LOVE the Barberton Exotic Vet Clinic! They are extremely knowledgable, helpful and very kind! Im never worried about the care my two English Angora Rabbits will receive while they are there. I will always recommend their facility to anyone. They are the BEST!

Our guinea pig, Skoodaloo was taken here when he showed signs of not feeling well. Excellent and caring Doctors and staff! Thank you for everything.

Dr. Riggs is the best - he is caring, compassionate and has a terrific bedside manner. Our bunny was putty in his hands.

They have always been so good with my rabbits. I always felt comfortable with knowing my babies were in good hands.
