Narra Veterinary Clinic

Dr. Deena and her staff are all so kind. Dr. Deena specifically is one of the most thorough and attentive vets I've ever worked with. I know my pup is in great hands! Also, I do not have guinea pigs now but as someone who used to and knows the struggle to find a vet for pocket pets/exotics, I love that Narra takes guineas a patients!

Took my rat here when she got cysts and one was very concerning. Everyone I interacted with there was super friendly and kind. The first person to examine her before the vet absolutely fawned over my rat which helped my nerves. When I was told the cysts would need to be removed they gave me time to sort out how I'd pay and were incredibly patient. They even held onto her for the rest of the day until I could pick her up after work and made sure she was well taken care of. The vet was helpful and answered all my questions about the healing process and medications. Without me even asking they offered to email me an itemized invoice so I could see how the cost added up. Overall wonderful experience, friendly staff, and my rat is happy and healthy!

I had my puppy's 1st appointment today at Narra Vet and we had the MOST POSITIVE EXPERIENCE! Everyone from the front staff, to the technicians, all the way to the DVMs, were incredible! My puppy was so relaxed, and I left with so much knowledge b/c everything was explained in detail to my husband and I. I LOVE Narra Vet!!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. Looking forward to our next visit!

Super Caring Staff & Specialize in Exotic Pets Dr. Deena and her staff have been incredibly caring and helpful in the care of our guinea pigs and bearded dragon. We first met Dr. Deena Barrett when she was the only vet able to care for “pocket pets” like our hamsters and guinea pigs as well as our bearded dragon at the previous clinic where she worked. She was thorough in her examination of all of our pets and spent time explaining each of their unique dietary, habitat and care needs. When we learned that Dr. Deena opened her own veterinary practice, we were thrilled to be able to continue getting care for our little furry and scaly friends with her. Her staff are warm, professional and deeply care for all the animals we’ve brought in. Last week we brought our 2 year old guinea pig in when she suddenly stopped eating and became listless. Short of a battery of expensive interventions, it became clear that we needed to euthanize her. My daughters were bawling with grief when Pearl (a staff member) poked her head in the room and asked if she could speak with us. Her words were so compassionate and comforting to my daughters and within a minute or so, there was tangible peace in the room. Pearl has such a gift and way with words and all of the staff there are devoted animal care givers and their compassion comes through. A very sweet touch was when Pearl asked if we’d like her to take paw prints and clips of the hair of the piggy we said goodbye to, for my daughters to remember her by. It meant a lot to us. Fast forward 5 days and we adopted a guinea pig over the weekend as a companion for our existing piggy who lost her sister last week. We brought our new family member in today for an exam by Dr. Deena who was so happy to see that we had found a companion for our other piggy (they are extremely social creatures and need to be with other piggies whenever possible). Her exam was thorough as usual and she offered advice that would help us get her weight up and acclimate to her new home. Their office is clean and well appointed and I appreciate how flexible they are with getting appointments the same day when needed. I only wish their business were more visible from the street with signage that showed them from the busy Hazel Fern Rd. side of the building. They are a bit tucked away but conveniently located next to Whole Foods and Bridgeport Mall.

We moved here almost 2 years ago and almost immediately my dog started having intense stomach issues before we had even had a chance to establish a primary vet. I called what felt like dozens of vets and Narra, who had just opened, was one of the few vets in the area accepting new clients. I am so glad we started seeing them! They are kind and compassionate, always follow up to check on the pets, and answer any question I've had very thoroughly. My anxious border collie has been calmer with Narra than any other vet I've taken her to. I'm very grateful for their help over the past year and a half and will continue to support them!
