I took my pet Eclectus parrot to this avian surgeon for a broken leg. My parrot, Gomez, went in on Wednesday with a tibiotarsal fracture, and Attila Molnar allowed him to remain that way until Friday when he performed the surgery. Gomez died the morning after surgery after screaming several times. Dr. Molnar said he was shocked that Gomez died because the surgery he performed on Gomez would be like ""if I had performed finger surgery on you and you died.""
He offered to do a necropsy and then his entire affect changed. He then blamed the death on me. He said it was because I had fed him organic babyfood (which 3 avian experts said was ridiculous), then he blamed it on me not insisting on a blood test for Gomez. Finally, he claims that Gomez died because I took him out of the hospital against medical advice. This is a complete fantasy and never happened. Additionally, nobody can believe that he told me not to take Gomez home against medical advice and didn't have me sign anything.
My hope in posting this is that somebody else will be spared what this man put my family through. It is also my hope through the website I created that the laws that exist today which essentially give veterinarians free reign to do whatever they want will be modified.
