Thank you so much Stephanie for actually asking what's wrong with my dog and going out of your way to see if the doc could squeeze Thor in. I am very thankful they were able to squeeze my pup Thor in to help relieve his pain. Brandon was great with Thor and very nice to me. And a special thanks to doctor Vance for helping us out. The staff is very friendly to you and your pet. Nothing worse than seeing your pets/kids in pain. This is my new permanent vet. Ty again

Staff was very friendly, professional and caring. I brought one of my cats in for a check up and vaccines. He was so scared but the staff handled him with care. Definitely recommend taking your pets here.

DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS HERE. THIS VET LOST MY DOG.
-Tuskawilla Animal Hospital brought Link outside (unfenced area) without a proper collar and leash on. He wiggled free from the vet because he was not properly strapped to anything.
-Link ran from the vet at 10:15 AM. I have ring camera footage showing Link already way into the wooded area and the 1-2 members of staff WALKING to figure out what happened. He was already long gone and not in sight, so he would have not been spooked, as some claim.
-I was not notified of his disappearance until over a full hour later (11:17 AM).

I called in to speak with Dr. Alex and he was so courtesy to take time to speak with me about my new puppy. I was so worried that my baby was going to be scared coming in but he let me know that his team was friendly. They were! My puppy stayed in my arms and everyone was super friendly to him. We got his shots and Dr. Alex is was so gentle with him. This is the best animal hospital in Winter Springs - thanks for caring for the cat and my new puppy in such a loving way! Such caring and loving staff at this animal hospital!
