Island Exotic Veterinary Care is a full service veterinary medical & surgical facility. It is the only exclusive avian & exotic veterinary hospital in Long Island. Our only purpose is attending to the medical & surgical needs of birds, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, prairie dogs, small rodents, lizards, snakes, turtles and tortoises. The hospital is predator-free; we do not see dog or cats. The staff consists of Dr. Heidi Hoefer, our veterinary intern Dr. La'Toya Latney, and specially trained veterinary assistants, and receptionists. We provide 24-hour care to our hospitalized patients.

Our Exotics Department is headed by Dr. Heidi Hoefer, a board-certified avian specialist. Dr. Hoefer has been treating exotic pets exclusively since 1988. Island Exotics has an exotic pet ICU with temperature controlled oxygen cages. We also have a large, separate ward for healthy exotic pet boarding care, and an isolation ward. We provide special services like endoscopy, ultrasonography, radiology, and surgery.

After hour exotic animal emergencies can be taken to Long Island Veterinary Specialists/Animal Emergency & Critical Care Center in nearby Plainview.
