The following quote comes from Hide-E-Hole Ferret Rescue about Dr. Wagner. Since they said things so eloquently, I don't see any reason to re-word it. As they say, email or call him to make an appointment.

We’ve been working with Dr. Wagner for over 10 years now, and we think he is the most knowledgeable ferret vet in the area. He is deeply into research, and often has leading edge treatments not available elsewhere. He has a day job (Head of Large Animal Research at the University of Pittsburgh), so he does this in his free time. He recently left Fox Chapel VCA and is setting up a way to schedule directly with him. He sees people in the back room of North Boros Veterinary Hospital [do *not* call North Boros to make an appointment. He does not work there, but rents space in the operating room. Do not just "show up" there. Do not annoy the vets and people who work at North Boros, or this good thing will be gone.] and will be adding a night somewhere once he finds a place.

He does not sugar-coat things, but you will know what’s wrong and what your ferret’s chances are when you leave. He is fast at doing surgery, and you are expected to take the ferret home with you and care for it afterward. His stitches might not always be beautiful, but they do the job.
