911 Emergency bird vet recommendations

[Cresantmoo]

Anyone in the phoenix area who can recommend me to an emergency avian vet? I'm new to the area. Im planning on taking her to the arizona exotic animal hospital in mesa. It needs to be an emergency hospital, i called 13 different places 2 days ago and everyones booked 2 weeks out.
Anyone have experience with the place or the vets around?

Thank you for your time.

Dr. Lamb at Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital is very highly thought of for birds.

Is there some reason that you are looking for an emergency clinic? I highly recommend the Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic (Dr. Driggers owner) Avian & Exotic Animal Clinic.

Yes Dr.Driggers or Dr. Lamb

I've been with Dr. Driggers for 23 years now and I remember when he was a mobile vet and rented an exam room at Mesa Veterinarian Hospital when he needed. He swore up and down that he would never have a large clinic and hire extra vets - buuut the word got around and he just kept growing. He is an amazing diagnostician and has a deep knowledge of exotic medicine and he is my friend.

He saved the lives of my Hank and Jasper (they both had serious chronic diseases) so many times I lost count.
