I've been going to Dr. Sam for about 10 years with my hedgehogs, and he's been great. I had two with heart problems which he diagnosed immediately and they both lived another year with the medications they were on. He's always caring, takes time to explaine everything and has even called me on Sundays to check on a sick animal. He is a bit high energy as someone mentioned and he did have another exotic vet with him for awhile that I didn't like at all, but I can't recommend him enough.
