Busy place. Nice lady at front desk. The Vet Techs were all great. We brought our 10 wk old Rottweiler puppy and all went well.

Guess I'll be driving to Marathon or Key West for my cats. Had to wait long enough that I was planning on just leaving, then when we were finally seen the vet & vet techs interactions with my cat did nothing to improve our experience, wasn't comfortable with how they were handling my (admittedly difficult) cat at all. Also didn't appreciate the open examination room with staff coming in an out, using the trash can in the room etc., feels like these are supposed to be calm quiet places. Front desk staff were nice but I guess 45 minute wait wasn't unusual enough that they felt the need to say anything

Caring staff and vet who explains what hes doing and looking for to diagnose and recommend treatment for our senior dog. I felt comfortable and welcomed and could tell the pets welfare was always priority. Were only here for 2 months over the winter but truly love this place.
