Doc Larkins is the most reputable veterinarian I've ever had the planet for working with. I drive 160 mi round trip to go to his his clinic because I trust him completely. He truly cares about the animals ?

Great veterinarian. Great prices. We are breeders of miniature Dachshunds and he was recommended by a fellow breeder. He gave our entire litter check ups deworming, first shots, and certificates of health for considerably less than any other veterinarian in the Orlando area. I know because I called each of them to get pricing. He's been a veterinarian for a very long time and is great with animals. He is now our official vet. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who's looking for a good vet at a good price

I found this place during the pandemic, I was grateful for them to look at a feral cat that had a eye scratched in a fight. As time went on I began to use them for my dogs. The Doc was a Parrot lover. I thought, oh great me too. But his staff, Judy the OM made it clear to me she/they hated birds, Strike #1! Reading these comments on how the Dr Larkin doesn't wear masks. Reminded me of how Katelyn specifically told me I have to wear a mask. I was fully vaccinated at the time and told her so. Her answer was "it doesn't matter, we have an immune compromised employee". So I go in masked and none of them are even wearing a mask, Strike#2! My elderly rescue Dachshund was having some sever pain issues, Dr Larkin said it was his teeth. OK, so he removed 13. The bigger problem was never in his teeth. IVDD and it returned with a vengeance 10/2022. He gave him some shots. ( he did warn me he had a heart murmur and it might not go well) I had to have him put down three days later. (Internal hemorrhaging) Fast forward to 1/2024 So I stopped by to talk to Judy the OM on Monday but she was out with a family emergency. Three of the staff were standing up front chit chatting.( whom I have never seen before or dealt with) I wanted to get my new Mini Dachshund puppy in for his last series of shots. So I called on Wed and Katelyn answered. The OM is still out. At that point I asked for Katelyn's help figuring out the date she rudely responded "unfortunately you will have to bring in the paper work" my response was "I WAS IN THERE MONDAY"! I told her how rude she was, then her tune changed. She said let me know the dates. My response was; never mind, I will find another Vet! Strike #3! Katelyn has got to be the rudest condescending unprofessional receptionist anyone could hire! I found another Vet with very professional staff who answered all my questions, and set up the appointment over the phone. I really tried to like these people and I overlooked a lot of the rude comments made by the OM. There were way more things I would have liked to have written. Go somewhere else!

This place absolutely filthy. The receptionist was extremely rude with a horrible attitude. Not only are they disgusting, Dr. Larkins failed to do his job and as a result killed my eight month old Blue Merle Golden doodle when she went in for a simple spay. All three of my other dogs underwent the same operation with two of them on the older side and all came out perfectly fine. After the initial shock of my puppy dying, I decided to look into the clinic and Dr. Larkins and I found that he got his license suspended and fined a couple years ago. I suggest you NEVER bring your pet here and look elsewhere, there are so many better veterinary clinics around that can get the job done correctly. I hope someone inspects this clinic with great care so that they can see how horrible of a place this is. So please do not risk your pets life by coming here, pay whatever price you need to because at the end of the day they are your babies and paying a high price is better than losing one of your babies. I don’t care about the other great reviews here, this is the truth about how this place really is.

I take my kitties here and the doctor is thorough and kind but the lady at the front desk with the long brown hair is quite rude to people checking in which is unfortunate. I understand a busy and stressful day but I’d rather not have to deal with snide comments while picking up my pet.

I took my elderly cat to Dr. Larkin's and he almost killed her. I was in the vet office with him and 2 techs as he drew blood from her chest area. One of the techs asked him if he was hurting her because she was whimpering. I have NEVER heard my cat whimper like this. He proceeded to tell the tech that, "No, she was just being a pain." Then he processed the blood and decided he was going to give her a shot of medication and he never asked me if this was ok or explained to me what he was giving her - he just did it. I left the office and felt very uneasy about the whole visit. He had given me some medication to give her at home. I started her on it and then I was out of town so my cat sitter continued the medication. When I called in daily to check with her about my cat she started telling me how unresponsive she was. I knew something wasn't right and after a while I called her back and asked her to give me the dosage of the medication. The medication he prescribed could have been taken by a 200 lb human person and my cat is 8 pounds. I told her to stop the medication immediately and I called Dr. Larkin's office immediately. He never got on the phone with me, called me back, nothing. I truly believe my cat would have been dead if I continued with the medication he prescribed. I will never go back to him again. In fact, I am surprised the State of Florida is checking this guy out. There are many reviews on here about him killing pets. Not to mention that the office is completely filthy dirty, I've never seen an office so dirty in my life. I felt it necessary to write this review because I wanted to help others to make an educated decision before they take their pet here. I wish I had reviewed him first, but thankfully my pet survived him. If you care about your pet think twice before going to this vet.

I got my dog fixed here under a rescue group's reservation. They never gave me records, said it can only be released to the rescue. So I contacted the rescue group to ask her to obtain my records & she said ok I've called the clinic to have them released for you. I call the clinic back now expecting them to release information to me & the receptionist tells me the records are printed for pickup. I asked would she please scan & email them to me. She said no. Really? I drove an hour away for the surgery & I have to drive an hour back for the records? What kind of office won't email?? Not even to the rescue lady to forward for me! She said if the rescue has a fax machine she can fax to them but that is the only way, they cannot email. How completely unprofessional!!

It may not be the most updated place but Dr Larkin is a kind a patient person when it comes to the pets and their owners. He does not rush to euthanize or do unnecessary tests. We recently had a second dog put to sleep and he and the staff were kind and gentle

Absolutely love the whole staff and Dr. Larkins! Amazing, caring, puts the pet first instead making a buck which is so rare today. They are personable and sweet to all the animals that go there! I drive an average of 40 min to bring my babies there from saint cloud and it's beyond worth it ❤️❤️

Today is Thursday June 8th 2023. I just called because my mother made an appointment to check on how much she would need for the appointment ( to take my dog ). When I called at around 4:50-5:04 I spoke with a woman at the front desk that was incredibly rude when I asked her much the rabies vaccine would be. “Because the wellness exam and fecal exam are free we can not give out pricing on shots. This is the doctors policy”. I haven’t even walked into this office and this already sounds sketchy. I’ve never heard of a policy especially when I’m specifically coming for just that? Avoid this place and suspicious businesses like this.

I can't say enough on how much I love Dr. Larkin and his team. The current vet that my dog was going to wanted to do an unnecessary surgery on my dog. I got a second opinion and brought him to doctor Larkin's office. Thank God I did. Surgery was not needed! This office will try to drain you from your money for unsessary tests or Surgeries. They really care about your pet. Dr Larkin got in the floor with a bad hip to play with my boxer baby. Tyson just loves him and is always excited to see him. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a trusting and caring vet for their pet.

About 10 years ago I had a job that took me across the state of FL visiting animal hospitals. I never looked forward to visiting this place because it’s hands-down the most filthy, dark, dingy vet practice I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to hundreds). On top of that, the smell is nauseating - but the REAL sickening thing is the racism proudly displayed by the vet. During one of my visits, he showed me two raccoons in a cage (it’s unclear why he had them there). He referred to them as “coons” and then he said “I named them Barack and Michelle, ya get it?” He chuckled to himself, thought it was hilarious. I was disgusted and told my employer that I was not comfortable returning and I never did. I wouldn’t take my pet here if you paid me. Dirty, disgusting, appalling, unsafe - and that doesn’t even begin to describe the actual premises. Avoid this place like the plague, especially if you’re a person of color. This man doesn’t respect you and will likely let his racism carry over into how he treats your pets.
