Dr. Mavromatis is a fantastic and skilled veterinarian. After moving to Toronto I was seeking a vet with experience in chinchilla tooth problems and that led me to the Links Clinic. My little buddy is between 7-8 years old and has root elongation. Dr. Mavromatis explained all of our options for the little guy and I chose to have his teeth removed as the only permanent solution to the problem (vs. long term pain management that would eventually lead to kidney failure over the next year or so). After an initial hitch wherein I was not informed that my pet needed to come off his pain killers 4 days prior to surgery, resulting in a week of pain for the little guy followed by a smooth surgery removing all of the teeth on one side of his mouth, my little buddy is doing great. He will eventually have to go in to have the teeth on the other side of his mouth removed but for now he is gaining weight and regaining his strength. Throughout the procedure Dr. Mavromatis has been phenomenal about explaining the causes of my chin's teeth problems, what paths were available for treatment, and answering all of my questions calmly and informatively. I would highly recommend him as a vet to anyone with chinchillas as that level of knowledge and experience is hard to find! Most vets without experience in exotics and chinchilla tooth problems see root elongation as a death sentence for chinchillas, Dr. Mavromatis on the other hand has given my little guy a really shot at a long, healthy, pain free life. The technicians are also fantastic and treated my little buddy like the superstar he is ;)
