"Dr. Lintner treats her patients knowing that these are not just "chickens", these are family members and dearly loved individuals with unique needs. When other vets would suggest euthanasia, Dr. Lintner gives all available options, knowing that many of us would do anything in our power to save our chicken's lives. In one particular case, we worked together for an entire year on a reproductive health issue for our chicken Chili, ranging from antibiotic treatment and implants to doing not one, but two surgeries to try to save Chili's life. Dr. Lintner respected Chili as an intelligent, beautiful creature deserving of the best care. She really tried her best for Chili, and when Chili eventually passed, I knew that she had gotten the absolute best chance at survival because of Dr. Lintner's consistent care and expertise. This office is incredibly friendly, loving, and empathetic. They event sent me a sympathy card after Chili passed. I trust them and have a deep respect for the entire team at Avian Medical Center. Her associate, Dr. Thomas Schwarzer is also absolutely fantastic, they make a great team." - Cassondra Palacios, Zen Hen Sanctuary
