In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet.
International contacts, too.

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately all of them of the ones you show me are to far for my mom to drive. I’m gonna see if I message some vets that are near me if they see parrots if not, I don’t know why there’s not many in south Florida, most of them are all up north, the closest one was Deerfield beach and that’s really up there. Me and my mom are like in Miami lakes.

One thing you have to keep in mind when taking your bird, or any animal, to a vet is that mistakes happen and bad unexpected outcomes happen, and often it's not because the vet was incompetent. Veterinary medicine is an imprecise science, as is human medicine. In my pre-retirement career I was a medical malpractice lawyer (human only) and saw the heartbreak that comes from bad outcomes and mistaken diagnoses but most of these are not legally considered practicing bad medicine because medical practice is so imprecise.
In order to get ourselves, and our birds, needed medical care we have to accept the risk that there may be a bad result. Fortunately the good results and saved lives outnumber the bad ones.
What people write in negative reviews doesn't accurately describe what actually occurred because the writer didn't understand it for any number of reasons, including mind numbing grief.

Miracles can happen, we are gonna go to one of the ones I put in the pictures of the history of some people commenting about them passing on, but I’m hoping nothing will happen to him because he is really lively and won’t treat him with the wrong condition because there is still a percent of that happening, so is something happens to him because my mom wanted to take him, I will be devistated and will probably cry about it.

Don't worry. He will be fine. Vets love birds and wouldn't do anything to hurt your baby!
