Empowering veterinarians to practice excellent exotic veterinary care through consultation, education, and case-based support.
Dr. Turner is an incredibly knowledgeable DVM, especially for exotic pet medicine. She stays up to date on the standard of care and ensures those she teaches learn the techniques too. She is very patient and wants to make sure the vets - and techs - she guides feel comfortable with what they’re doing and that they understand the clinical reasoning behind their decisions. Dr. Turner’s experience is invaluable and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her mentorship!
As a new graduate, Dr. Turner's mentorship was invaluable to me. I had the pleasure of working with her on a variety of exotic cases, from dental disease in rabbits, to diagnostic interpretation with bearded dragons, and guidance with surgical procedures and stabilization in a variety of species. Her wealth of knowledge and experience with exotic animals allowed me to learn and grow as a veterinarian. Dr. Turner's guidance and support have been instrumental in shaping my career, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a talented and dedicated mentor.
I have known Dr. Kristen Turner since veterinary school and she has been my main referral veterinarian for all complicated exotic animal cases for years. She has always been devoted to providing high-quality and accessible care to exotic animals and is my go-to veterinarian when I need help on a difficult case.
Many vets practicing high-level medicine lose touch with the real world and the demands of an "in-the-trenches" veterinarian. This is not the case with Dr. Turner! She understands the difficulties of general practitioners working with limited budgets and tools trying to do the best for their patients and always provides helpful advice and support, regardless of the situation. If you need help with any exotic animal case, Dr. Turner is helpful, supportive, understanding, knowledgeable, and simply the best consult you could possibly ask for!
Dr. Kristen Turner is an excellent resource for both beginner and advanced veterinarians. Not only is she knowledgeable and willing to help work through tough cases but she gives logical, sound, and realistic advice. She understands limitations of private practice and is therefore able to give real-life advice. She is not only incredibly smart, but also passionate about teaching and helping other veterinarians gain confidence with managing complex cases involving exotic species. Can’t recommend her enough!
