Review from Becky B.

My family has been going to Dr. Fletcher since he opened up shop in the mid-1990s. He and his staff have gone above and beyond for our family's pets and at a reasonable cost. Not to mention the charity work they do for SafeHaven Humane Society and abandoned animals.
Our cat, Penny, was diagnosed with both pancreatitis AND fatty liver disease which had opposite treatment plans. Even though our kitty was what you might term "a lost cause" he still stayed up late with her to try to feed and nurse her and reduce her discomfort in her final days. He even brought another kitty of ours (a wimpy thing) back from the dead to be bigger and stronger than ever before. We've taken cats, dogs, ferrets, chinchillas, and rabbits and every time it has been a positive experience; he never over-worries his clients and is very upfront about the seriousness (or non-seriousness) of what is going on with your pet.
Also, at no point have we ever felt taken advantage of like we have at some animal hospitals in relation to billing. In the case of the wimpy kitty brought back to life, we had initially taken him to a 24-hour emergency clinic because Dr. Fletcher was not immediately available and the cost of his emergency care (not to mention procedures that Dr. Fletcher deemed unnecessary and even dangerous for the cat in his at the time current health) was more for those 8-12 hours he was there than the whole week or so of care that Albany Animal Hospital wound up providing to him.
In short, if you are looking for quality vet care and don't want to have your wallet pinched, I wholeheartedly recommend this facility. -

We've gone to Dr. Fletcher for both our hedgehog and our miniature chicken. Our experiences have been amazing. We're both students, and Dr. Fletcher has cut us price breaks everywhere. He has come in after hours for emergencies with no complaint. And when it sadly came time to put down our hedgehog, he did it humanely, kindly, and then didn't charge us anything, even though it was an emergency visit after hours. With our hen, he treated us with absolute respect and with just as much care and concern as would be afforded to a dog or cat. (This is unique with vets, some of whom see exotics and especially "farm" animals as being less worth the effort or time).
He's a great guy who provides great care. We'll be very sad when we leave the area and Dr. Fletcher behind.
