The first couple of times I went was for a tomato frog. I had taken him several times to my previous vet (before I moved) for a recurrent problem. Never had any issues with her. I felt Dr. Milos handled him a bit roughly and even dropped him once. He even had a method of "squeezing the constipated poop out of him", which in retrospect sounds ludicrous and dangerous. He gave me medicine for my frog, who died soon after giving him the medicine. At the time I believed it all to be an unfortunate coincidence but now I'm not sure if the medicine aided in killing him faster. Not to mention again, the "squeezing" and rough handling which at the time, I had tried to ignore and give the doctor some benefit of a doubt.
I fear others bringing their small exotic pets to him. If you're still reading this, please don't. We will never forget that horrible morning of bringing a healthy pet to him and leaving with a dead one. We wouldn't wish that upon anyone. This is not the exotics vet that you want, even if the next one is miles away, I promise it will be worth the drive. Thanks for reading.
Perfectly healthy pet was squeezed to death just for an ear exam. To this day, he continues to claim that "she must have been sick" and he was "exerting no more force than necessary to restrain her" and "she spontaneously died". The memory of her eyes bulging out of her head and her limp body falling out of his hand tell a different story. He's simply trying to protect his own reputation and pride.
Definitely going to join this bandwagon for the sake of informing others. I can't say for sure how their care for large animals like cats and dogs is like, but what I will say is to not take your small or exotic animals to Dr. Milos who "specializes" in them.
The man is in his late 70s, and whether or not he used to be able to handle small animals properly I cannot say. What I can say is I witnessed him squeezing/handling a frog and a mouse poorly, to the point of death. I also have read another horror story of a woman taking her bird to him, and he handled it poorly and she left with a possible sprained wing, again due to him squeezing and exerting extreme pressure.
I've been bringing my fur babies here for almost ten years. The staff and Dr. Milos are phenomenal. Always so kind and helpful. Not to mention the fees are reasonable. I've had three bunnies and two cats, all of whom were successfully treated here. I highly recommend them!
It's my belief that his old age is causing him to lose proper control over his hands and motor skills, but out of pride won't admit that it's time to retire, and instead is willing to risk the safety of animals. I left this same review on their Facebook page and he personally got on and vehemently denied any part in her death, even to the point of fabricating and changing details around of what took place in the exam room, in effort to make himself look like the good guy. Again, due to reputation. For example, a good surgeon would admit that it's time to retire if he developed hand tremors, for fear of harming patients. I truly wish Dr. Milos would admit that to himself and step down. If you truly loved animals, you would admit it to yourself when your hands do more harm than good.
Dr Milos is the best, he saved my little buddy. Everyone there is so nice even when my cat's being a huge jerk.
Super expensive. I took 2 cats there for a wellness check and it cost $760.00. They did unnecessary test without asking and the vet never followed through on what I went for.
He killed her. While examining her. While he was attempting to look at her ear, we watched him squeeze her to death, her eyes bulging out of her skull. We witnessed that.
They take good care of my pets
Which leads to my second, more tragic story. We had been noticing signs of a small ear problem in one of our mice so naturally we brought her in, figuring it could be mites or something. Otherwise she was perfectly healthy, which I can't stress enough due to what happened next.
