Evergreen Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital

Dr. Boutette and his assistant (I think her name is Kayla), are amazing people. They are always so sweet and caring every time I brought my bird in for a visit. Even after his passing, their compassion is outstanding. Thank you to the entire staff of Evergreen avian and exotics. You folks are the ones who make a difference in the pet world.

I highly recommend Dr. Boutette at Evergreen Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital in Kirkland. In my 40 years of bird ownership, he is truly one of the best avian vets I have ever seen. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, gentle, and deeply grounded in science. I brought my 10-year-old female Dusky Conure, Poco, in for her annual exam. I really appreciated being in the room during the appointment. Dr. Boutette explained exactly what he was doing and how specific testing protocols have evolved recently to be more targeted and specific to a bird's needs. A seemingly small but very important detail was how they minimized handling to reduce stress. They weighed the empty carrier first, and then after the exam was over, they weighed her once she was back inside her carrier to get her weight. This thoughtful approach is so rare and appreciated. The entire clinic is immaculate. The receptionist was welcoming, and the vet tech was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with birds. It is obvious that the entire staff loves birds and their work. Dr. Boutette was very careful not to overhandle Poco, and she came home relaxed and happy rather than stressed.

I should’ve wrote this review over a year ago, But I most recently remembered how great this place is and how great they treated my mom. She had been going here for years, bringing her rabbit Peter off and on until it was time For the end of his life 💔 this place Is beyond caring about you and your pet. They walked my mom through step-by-step with The biggest amount of compassion towards my mother. I also want to thank One of the vet tech for also paying for Euthanasia For Peter My mom at the time couldn’t figure out her Pet insurance to pay for it and somebody stepped up in the office to pay for it who worked there I don’t remember her name, but from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate it so much and thank you for everything you’ve done for me and my mother.

My husband and I have brought our Chameleon to be seen at Evergreen Avian and Exotics a few times and every time they were over the top fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, caring, and kind.

This place is amazing. The staff is so incredibly kind and informative. Dr. Paulette is the best vet I have ever seen, for any of my animals. They were able to squeeze me in to see my sick chicken, the same day. Dr. Paulette even gave me her personal cell number to reach out to if I needed her over the weekend while we brought our chicken home. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone.

Our leopard gecko, Rhino is 17. He's also introverted and a little OCD (like me). Getting out of his enclosure occasionally to explore my shoulder or the couch is the maximum excitement he's had in.....well, ever. Driving him 30 minutes to the vet was quite a big deal. He had never been to the vet before. I know that Rhino has a good compass for vibes and energy, though. When we arrived at the clinic, he was still tucked safely into his "travel hide," inside his new travel terrarium (see attached photo). Within just the first five minutes, he curiously emerged, and seemed to enjoy watching and listening to the waiting room chatter between humans who love animals (also attached photo). He was so active I completely removed the hide to give him the best views. ♡ Once we saw the vet, he was given undivided attention, and I was provided multiple scenarios and options for treatment. Rhino's back-story was thoughtfully understood as a possible factor in his current condition, and I was given ample time to weigh the pros and cons of each option. Compassion was evident throughout our visit, and we were never rushed. After a couple of days, the vet even sent a follow-up email to check in on Rhino's status. At the time of this review, an antibiotics regimen is still underway. Although he is not "out of the woods" and back to his usual self, he has shown signs of progress. Rhino doesn't make a sound, but he speaks volumes with his behavior. I listen to him, and I will definitely trust Evergreen with his care moving forward.

This will end up being the only vet I go to moving forward for my babies. My bird recently went through an accident where she flew into a wall and got a concussion. I went to a prior vet clinic that provided avian services, however it wasn't their main expertise because they didn't provide x-ray services nor did they offer medication to help with the swelling of my birds injury. While the prior vet assured me that my bird would heal overtime, it didn't seem like they did everything they could to examine my bird. Not to mention this particular clinic wouldn't allow me in the building. It was a drop off service. Fast forward to a few weeks later, my intuition felt as if I needed to see a specialist, that it wasn't enough for the prior vet. That's when I came across Evergreen. The staff was super sweet and welcoming and you could tell by the amount of other birds in the office, that I came to the right place. The building is a bit small and the parking even smaller, however manageable. Dr. Sneha Krishnan and her assistant not only exceeded my expectations, but they were so sweet during the entire exam. Not only did they make me feel heard in all of my concerns, they did it with compassion with the knowledge of their avian expertise. They were able to answer all my questions and they were also able to provide my bird with the utmost care. I couldn't be happier. The assistant even helped me with a demonstration on how to administer the meds for my bird in a quick easy manner, I felt confident I would be able to do it at home. Thank you Evergreen for helping my sweet girl, you've got another loyal client. 3rd photo Updated on Oct 23rd. Baby is much happier and still fighting strong.
