Animal Medical Center of Corona

Modern medicine with old-fashioned care is the phrase, and the exotic capability here is the real story — one of the premier bird, exotic, and small mammal facilities in Southern California, drawing clients who travel long distances for the expertise. The roster includes birds, snakes both venomous and non-venomous, turtles and tortoises, frogs and toads, lizards, iguanas, geckos, chameleons, bearded dragons, ferrets, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, mice, rats, sugar gliders, hedgehogs, and chinchillas, plus domesticated wildlife kept as pets like opossums, skunks, and squirrels. Synovetin OA is the other standout: AMC is one of only three facilities in the greater LA area licensed to dispense it — a once-yearly injection for canine osteoarthritis that isn't a drug but a veterinary device using conversion electron therapy to break the inflammation cycle at the joint. Regenerative medicine, cancer screening and vaccines, laser therapy, advanced imaging, dental services, surgery, preventative care, and after-hours emergency treatment round it out. Referrals from other veterinarians are accepted. Where technology meets tenderness — clients drive an hour and say they'd do it every time.
