Testimonials

I drive 3 hours from Indiana for my birds to see Dr. Ritzman. I have had parrots for more than 21 years and pet ducks, and Dr. Ritzman's level of expertise is unmatched.

Our Double Yellowhead Amazon required care much above a normal checkup. Dr. Ritzman is one of a very few avian care specialists in the upper Midwest who has both the training and expertise to provide the level of care our Amazon required.

I brought my hedgehog, Eleanor Rigby, in for an exam because she was not eating, drinking or running on her wheel. Dr Ritzman found an abscess on her tongue and prescribed treatment. Ellie is now eating, drinking and wheeling every night.
