I have had one after another great experiences at this facility. They definitely saved my dog’s life many times and can’t thank them enough. My dog had a condition where we raced her into the ER many times, and everyone was so amazing there. They treated her so well, every… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
Our dog was treated for an emergency procedure. The staff was matter of fact, but in a kind and compassionate manner. They were not alarmists. The price was 1/3 of an estimate from an ER in Oviedo. We know where to come in an emergency now! View on Facebook (opens in new tab)

Fabulous and caring staff. Dr. Carlson and team are compassionate and thorough. This is the only place I would bring a pet in an emergency. I had a medical emergency that resulted in having my pet euthanized, and they were awesome and gave me all the time I needed in my dogs… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
