I've had troubles finding herp vets before and dealing with herp vets that know less than I do. Dr. Harkowitz is amazing! He knows everything about everything scaley and gives you a nice lecture on how to take proper care of your pet as well as what problems to look for and how to avaoid them. He is incredibly through and has the best price in town. I brought a sick, malnourished python to him when I rescued it and he charged less than anyone else ( I checked around) and that's with the cost of medicine and an emergency visit - they fit me in the same day due to the snake's condition. He even showed me how to diagnose respiratory infections in this snake in the future and walked me through the process of starting him on frozen mice and generally keeping him healthy and happy. All of my animals (2 snakes, a skink and 2 cats) now go here exclusively despite the 1 hour travel time to get there.
