Today we had to send our eldest pup to heaven. This was a very difficult moment for us and we were quite distraught. Dr. Sturgeon and Sophia were wonderful throughout the entire process. They did everything to make it as easy as possible. They took their time, explained the process, and we knew our pup was in good hands during his final moments. Thank you for your kindness toward us but an extra special thank you for your extra kindness with our beloved Junior.

I've been taking my chihuahuas to Oaks for quite a while. Dr. Sturgeon is exceptionally passionate about the quality of my dogs' health and life and goes out of his way to make sure that I understand everything and that my dogs get the care that they need. I have not had another vet who has taken such a personal interest in making sure my pups are doing well and it is very clear that he values the well-being of animals above everything else.

Inaccurate website. It clearly states they offer dematting services on the grooming page but I was told they do not when I called.

I'm very pleased with the services that my asthmatic cat receives at Oaks Veterinary Hospital. I feel that they care about my pet, and they care about me as a pet momma. They even call to check on my cat on occasion. I highly recommend them.

Dr Sturgeon was the first veterinarian who was able to help my dog to get through the appointment without him panicking. Koda has a history of being very difficult but Dr Sturgeon was so calm and understanding, reading Koda’s body language before doing anything. He was able to examine him and draw blood without anyone even holding him. Very impressive, highly skilled and most definitely recommended Dr Sturgeon as your veterinarian but especially if you have a pet who has fear issues.

I started bringing my dogs here after I moved down the street and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Every person working there is unbelievably kind and caring for animals. Dr. Sturgeon took a personal interest in the well being of my dogs from the minute he met them and I can only imagine he shares that energy with all of his patients. He is also very knowledgeable about the different avenues that are possible to take in terms of your pets health and has always been considerate of my financial situation while still providing the best possible care. You would be lucky to call him your vet.

Dr. Sturgeon has been taking care of our family pets for almost a year now. He goes in depth at every appointment and always wants to educate his clients. The staff from receptionists to technicians are all super sweet and make us feel like a part of the family.

My wife and I are both PhDs and have lived in Gainesville since 2014. Our perfectly healthy golden retriever went in for boarding to Oaks Veterinary Hospital recently and when we returned on a Thursday to pick her up, she was carried out with a towel under her; unable to walk. We were never contacted and notified that she hadn't been able to walk since the prior Sunday. We also signed paperwork upon drop-off indicating she'd receive veterinary care should she need it while we were gone. She received none. All we received upon return was: "you should probably go see your primary vet!" Ironically, we had already had all her paperwork sent over from her previous vet and had been receiving primary veterinary care from Oaks Veterinary Hospital for some time at this point. Clearly, Oaks Veterinary Hospital did not want to handle the situation and treat one of their patients nor contact their customer so we took her to the previous veterinary clinic much further away. Her bloodwork came back indicating that she acquired an infection while under the care of Oaks Veterinary Hospital. To cut to the chase, after approximately two weeks of exhausting every treatment option at her previous clinic, her life was cut short likely by several years. We are seriously considering legal action with the way things were handled through Oaks Veterinary Hospital. I would STRONGLY reconsider using this veterinary clinic!

We've been taking our pets to Oaks Veterinary Hospital for 15 years.I love everyone there. They take such great care of our animals, especially Dr. Sturgeon. He truly loves animals and gives them the best care for your every concern.

Extremely disappointed in the way things were handled with my support animal at this clinic. My dog was having trouble closing her mouth and was completely unable to do so on her own. Dr Sturgeon put her under and examined her and performed x-rays on her jaw. $600 later he didn't have an answer for me. He referred me to UF and informed me it'd be $1500 just to walk through the door. He stated it might be best for my dog if we considered humane euthanasia. I visited a different clinic the following Monday for a second opinion, and *now my dog is completely fine after taking antibiotics*. I would NOT recommend you take your animals here.

I have been coming here since 2020, so I am used to the curbside service they had previously. They have just finished their remodeled building and it looks great. The techs and the veterinarian were all very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had about our dog. I would definitely recommend oaks vet!
