Sat there for 6 and a half hours only got talked to a few times times their prices are ubsurd literally use the fact that you have an emotional attachment to the animals to extort as much money out of you as possible 700 for an x-ray 160 for office visit and 5k for a surgery went to another vet surgery was 1200$ if you have any other options go there first ASPCA tlc regular vet anywhere but here unless you like getting extorted out of all your money

The employees here are rude! I brought my dog in for pain. He'd had an accident and couldn't walk well and kept falling. I took him back for refills (he's now on monthly maintenance meds) and they gave him 3 days worth of meds. Seriously? You want me to come in here every 3 days to get him meds? I'll be looking for a new vet immediately. I don't even care if I have to drive PAST this office. They were not nice at all.

I took my kitten in because she had a stuffy nose. They gave me antibiotics. Later that night she had a seizure. I called the morning and they said antibiotics can't do that and since it stopped to just keep an eye on her. She seemed to be ok and was eating a little. Later that night it happened again so I took her to the 24hr animal hospital off dundee. They did a bunch of test and she had some kind of toxin. She can't get into any cleaning supplies, the rest of my cats and dogs are fine, it just so happened to occur the same day this clinic gave my baby medicine? Well, her levels were so out

Always 5 stars from me. I have been going there for years now and miss Dr. Dunham but have to say I really love our new vet. She is very good with my dogs and they like her. Thank you Dr. Davis. She doesn't fat shame them but actually talked to me about how to bring their weights down. Well 2 out of 3 labs anyway. Seriously thow love taking my dogs there, will be staying.

The doctor also called my 6month golden retriever handsome . I was very pleased with the service here. I drove from Lakeland to this place. I think
