This is the best emergency veterinarian to go to when you need them! Dr. Z is amazing! I owe her a calf 😂😂I’m a veterinarian and obviously can’t treat everything from home and we will continue to drive from Mims to see her if we need to! Caring, compassionate, attentive… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
I have never had a worse experience with a vet clinic. Very unprofessional. I was made to feel that because my dog didn’t need to stay for the whole time I paid for- I waited 4 hrs to be discharged! View on Facebook (opens in new tab)
While in Florida from PA our 18 year old dog had a massive stroke. Because we did not have a vet in Florida we contacted VECEV to have her euthanized because she was not able to recover from the stroke. Every person we came in contact with was very sincere and helpful. They… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
Our dog torn his Dew Claw. I called my vet but they were almost closing and had no availability. We used the emergency vet a couple times... once to have one of our dogs put to sleep and another time our dog was attacked by another dog and had a nasty tear on its ear. both… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
We took our pup Rosie in for an emergency visit yesterday. The staff was absolutely amazing including the nurse Nick, and Dr. Nichols. They quickly took her in for an evaluation and treated her immediately. We are so thankful to these wonderful vets! Our Rosie is now home on… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
I could not let this day come to an end without sharing this review. Our Indi girl was taken here on Sunday and admitted. From the time she was taken into the back, she has received a level of veterinary care we have never experienced over 35 years of being pet parents…..Indi… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)

If you care about your animals at all stay away from this place the only thing they care about is the money. They charged my card thousands of dollars knowing they could not help my dog and it passed View on Facebook (opens in new tab)
I’m at a loss for words right now. My family just got another puppy (4th doggie at this point) and had to bring her up to their emergency part of their business. We waited for three hours before a vet even came in to speak to us. Couldn’t tell us what was wrong with the puppy… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
my cat Baby girl was taken straight in and made comfortable while myself and my friend were very comfortable in the lobby watching pet videos, which quite honestly distracted me from my situation with my baby. I left with her and meds, she had been checked and given fluids and… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
I just wanted to say thank you to your team today. My cat Simon had a sudden decline overnight and we knew it was time to let him go. Your team was caring and compassionate from the moment we walked in the door. Thank you for being patient and compassionate with us and helping… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)

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)
