I'd go on-line to read reviews first or simply ask a couple ??'s over the phone... usually if the staff is pleasant so is the vet.. also, they're used to people being choosy w/ their animals so should be very understanding about any concerns you may have.. also, if you have any emergency clinics near you I'd ask them for a recommendation or if there's a vet nearby that ONLY does cats/dogs call them and tell them you need a recommendation for a certified, reputable herp vet and they should be more than happy to help as they're not losing any business from sending you elsewhere since they wouldn't treat beardies anyway.. good luck!!
