Efficient and Affordable Testing

Backos Bird Clinic, serving all of Broward County, FL and the surrounding communities, boasts a full service, on-site laboratory for fast, effective testing and results. Our ability to conduct your bird’s exam and test our findings at our facility allows us to diagnose our patients quicker and provide critical treatment, without having to wait for results from outside testing facilities.

Processing tests and cultures at our own facility also allows us to save costs involved with processing, which we pass along to you with our competitive and affordable rates for veterinary services.
