I took my dog there because he was vomiting blood. I was happy with the treatment from the vet and I liked that they moved to WEC. It's closer and a beautiful place. Price was not bad considering it was an emergency. View on Google (opens in new tab)

What's wrong with it?

I brought my dog in for an abdominal CT scan, a procedure that itself takes only a few minutes, plus time for sedation and recovery. I was instructed to drop her off at 7:30 in the morning, but she ended up spending the entire day there. I was not called to pick her up until… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

No Stars! Our experience at UF Veterinary Hospital at WEC today was extremely upsetting. We arrived around 9:15 AM with our sick dog, Scooter. After taking her history, they took her to the back and would not allow us to accompany her. We repeatedly heard her yelping, yet… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

What's wrong with it?

They seemed more worried about money than compassion for pets. Communication was the worst. They kept calling for more of a deposit anytime I tried to call to get an update no one would answer the phone. Luckily our fur baby came home. View on Google (opens in new tab)

My baby Chihuahua Luna got into something she shouldn’t and started puking. We rushed here to UF at WEC and they were quick with coming up with a game plan. Sadly she had to stay overnight which caused me anxiety and the staff was amazing. They texted through the night to ease… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Absolutely horrible experience!
