Okay so I just brought Rocky to see Dr. Bonam today, mainly because I wanted to find a new vet. So this review is based on a standard exam with some special interest in checking for any respiratory problems.
Overall, I really like him. He is very knowledgeable, and I liked the answers he gave to every question I had. He also has pet rats himself (neutered males) so it's nice to have a vet who "understands". [Part of the reason I didn't like the last vet I saw was because he was completely ignorant to even the basics of standard rat-keeping]. He was happy to answer questions and wasn't in a hurry to end our visit.
His exam was very thorough, more than any vet I have visited yet. The exam fee was $60, which is cheaper than I have paid at other vets.
The office and exam rooms are very nice. The waiting room is super comfy and clean, they even have a beautiful fireplace. The receptionists were both friendly and checking out was super fast (I've had issues at another vet of waiting 15+ minutes everytime just to pay!).
This clinic is a 24 hour clinic, so you can at least count on someone always being there. When I called to ask about their practice, the receptionist was very knowledgeable and was happy to tell me the hours that Dr. Bonam is usually in along with pricing. She was also knowledgable about rats which I thought was cool.
