Veterinarians near Lakewood Ranch, FL

“We have several pets that we take here and never had an issue I don't think they are any more expensive than other vets and we do think they take good care of all of them. The front desk is wonderful especially AMBER who goes above and beyond what n necessary and it is because of her dedication and professionalism that we continue to feel good taking our pets there. Haters always gonna hate about something but we are happy and will stand up for BIG PAWS.”

“I literally do not have enough words for how wonderful this entire office is. They are the epitome of compassionate, caring and kind healthcare professionals for our furry family members. They are the unicorn of veterinary offices in that they are a truly family run local business. They know you and your family by name and take the time to actually care for you. We will be their patients for life and will recommend any and all fur babies to them.”

“Dr Rose was very caring and he new right away what was wrong with my dog,and why he was in so much pain after suffering for two months with my reg vet. The hospital is extremely clean and friendly. Thank you again for everything.”

“My dog had a recent bad experience with another vets office. She has a fear of the vet now. She recently did what toddlers do and ate a glass ornament. I had to make an emergency visit with Braden River animal hospital. Let me say that 5 stars aren’t enough. My dog was comfortable during her visit, Jasmine was phenomenal. Dr. Bailey and the staff were amazing and thorough. I could not be more pleased with the service and accommodating way they treated us. We now have a new Veterinarian office moving forward.”

“First visit with my dobie puppy and very satisfied.super friendly staff. Not pushy at all. Dr. Peter’s was amazing . She took time to explain everything to me , and provided me with all the information I needed . Very reasonable prices as well. Highly recommend”

“We’ve been taking our yorkie named Peekaboo here for 15 years and can’t say enough about the practice and all the employees that work there! It is very evident they truly care about your pet. All of the staff are so pleasant, knowledgeable and ALWAYS go the extra mile for your pet.”

“Dr. Chris and his staff (front office and vet techs) are the most pleasant and courteous people I have encountered in the vet field. He genuinely cares for his patients and their families' concerns. They provide detailed information about procedures, billing and timeliness to care for your pet. We have an elderly boxer and they all are happy to see her, are so gentle with her and care about her health. The front office and vet techs are always smiling and helpful. Real people that enjoy what they are doing, and it shows in the way they greet you, during the visit and as you leave.”

“Super friendly staff. Ashley, Lorrie and Dr. McNamee were very friendly and clearly animal lovers. We’ve been with them for years with our dogs and cat and I’ve never had a negative experience!”

“Bay Road Animal Hospital is a great veterinary hospital. The staff and doctors are friendly, efficient, and very professional. My 11 year old English Golden Retriever is always well cared for. I highly recommend Bay Road Animal Hospital.”

“Yesterday I had to put my beloved dog down. Anyone who has had to do this knows just how tough it is. Dr. Watkins and his staff were super compassionate and empathetic and made the process as smooth as it could be. I'm sure he's done this many times, but you could feel his sadness. We've been going to this father and daughter team for half a dozen years and I would never go anywhere else. They are not pushy, they love animals, their team is amazing, and they know what they are doing. Yesterday afternoon I received flowers. I immediately teared up when I saw who sent them....Dr. Watkins and his team.”

“I've had pets cared for with forest lakes for over 30 years. You feel like family here. Debbie ( the British Lady) has been a pleasure to work with as well as the rest of the team. This visit was for us to help one of our furries cross the rainbow bridge ? They were supportive through out this difficult time. THANK YOU!”

“What an incredible team of people!! I had both of my mini doxies neutered here and the experience was great. The staff is friendly and very loving.Suzanne is a star as are the doctors and all the techs. Thank you!!!”

“Everyone, from the receptionist to the vet, were friendly and thorough. My little Leim would give them 4 thumbs up, but he doesn't have any thumbs! He sends his gratitude for making him feel better and for being so great with him.”

“Dr Pepper and crew are the best. We trust them with our family ferbaby's life's . What more can we say . We lost our family vet and had 10 Papillions 8 years ago it has taken 6 years and 6 other local veterinarians that we tried with less than unsatisfactory results, leading to a few near desastor for our beloved fer family and we had become concerned that we would not be able to provide them with the BEST medical services possible in their senior years. One of our 11 male papillon caught a very dangerous and aggressive flesh eating bacteria that was quickly overtaking him . Hell, Marry, desperate call to Dr Peppers and his staff of angels after trying 2 other vets all the time he just getting worse and this was quickly overtaking him . This was it all or nothing for him, starting to think about the hard choice that may have to be made.( HAPPY ENDING ) DR PEPPER was able to identify what this was and with very limited treatment options med wise that would not hurt him but aggressive enough to kill the bacteria . Dr. Pepper called us to check on Brutus the next day on a Saturday. From that moment moving forward, i knew we had finally found our guy, and our babies are in good hands . One less thing to worry about. Brutus made a full recovery was a long road, but Dr Pepper got us home. P S Wanted to say thanks for seeing Tinkerbel and I Tuesday. She's feeling better and wants to say thanks, but no thanks , don't take that the wrong way it's a dog thang?”

“The staff are friendly and helpful. They are accommodating when we board our pets there. Our pets are treated with kindness and love by the staff and techs. Thank you!”

“Best vet I have ever been to and I have had dogs my whole Life. Dr Huber is the best!! I have seen Dr Brody a few times and have no complaints but I always ask for Dr. Huber because he is why we went there from the beginning and one of our boys has a medical condition the Dr Huber is familiar with. I do think he is no longer taking new patients (last I heard) but I think Dr Brody is great too.. The staff is great and knowledgeable also.”

“We started taking our dog(Mong) to Dr. Huber about 5 years ago when he started having back spasms related to disc issues. Dr. Huber quickly diagnosed that it could be a slipped disc, medicated him, administered a steroid shot to get him by without invsaive surgical measure since it was his first flare up.A few years went by, my dog did okay for the most part, needed steroid shots here and there when the back problem flared up. When half of his body was paralyzed, he finally had to get a back a surgery to be able to walk again.fast forward a few years, geriatric problems hit him, it was time for us to consider putting him down despite him fighting through the disc issues relatively well. Went to see Dr. Huber for a quality of life consult. He didn't rush us to make decision to keep him or put him down. He gave us his honest thoughts on his quality of life. A week later, we ended up deciding that his quality of life is not very good, we decided to euthanize him.It was our first time euthanizing a dog (or any animal for that matter), it was a very comforting experience. Dr. Huber has such a demeanor that he puts everyone at ease. It could be because he's been doing this for a very long time.Although i will not be returning to his office in the forseeable future, as I do not have another furry animal, I want to say I truly appreciate his professionalism and compassion that he showed.Also, I did not get to learn each individual staff's names, everyone at the office was compassionate, warm and welcoming every time we went to visit. What a wonderful office! Will recommend to anyone looking for an experienced veterinarian.”

“In my 64 years of companionship with animals, I have never experienced such a compassionate, patient, and tender euthanasia. I’ve never had a pet — horse, cat or dog, that was as phobic of the “veterinary” experience as my last Belgian Malinois. He was an exquisitely trained dog but he would go into full red zone aggression in any vet’s office. He came from the Czech Republic at 18 months old. Our bond was instant. However, when he had to visit to the vet, he would have nothing to do with me for 3 days after,  as well as anyone else who came in the room.  He would try to bite everyone who entered the room — even while muzzled. My greatest fear his entire life was what would happen as his life neared its end. More than anything, I wanted him to die in his sleep rather than suffer the terror of the final veterinary visit. He was in bad shape, and a visit to the vet was unavoidable. Suncoast Veterinary Emergency approached the task with wisdom, experience, and kindness. While I grieve my best friend, my heart is so grateful to the entire staff. They went above and beyond. He had a peaceful exit. As I was leaving two and a half hours later, I stopped to use the restroom. As I washed my hands, I realized I had not brushed my hair or eaten in three days. I must have appeared psychotic.  The staff exhibited no judgement, just kindness. I will be eternally grateful, and my memory of this experience eases my sense of loss.”

“Finding the right vet for our babies is so important. I have been coming here for years and Dr. Smith is our favorite veterinarian. She is very experienced and doesn’t over sell anything. Sydney has great bedside manors, and the front desk staff is very consistent with appointment reminders and calling to check on everyone after their visit. They are reasonable priced and I highly recommend to anyone who has cats.”

“I have a gorgeous miniature wire haired dachshund who finds sunbathing by the pool preferable to going to the vets . However, she is put at ease when we see Dr David Smith .. He is an excellent vet and really cares about her health and well being .Very pleased to have such good care given to her every time we visit ,and all the staff are very kind and helpful too.”

“We just had our first visit to this practice. Everyone that works there is so kind and seems really happy to be there. It's really clean and modern inside. The entire staff seemed super knowledgeable and caring. They really listened to our concerns and addressed all of them. Dr. Duncan was so kind with our senior kitty. Super recommend Clark Road Animal Clinic!”

“I would not trust and appreciate any other vet clinic in the world! Dr Laurie has a compassion for animals like no other. I have adopted 3 pets from her and will always appreciate the love she has for them!”

“Thanks Dr. Taylor for taking care of Peaches while we traveled for two days. In the future I will gladly turn to Dr. Taylor for boarding needs. By the way, Doctor Taylor is also Vet for Peach and he keeps her happy and healthy at age 15-1/2.”

“Excellent service recommended 100%, they treat the pets as if they were their own with love and care from the moment you enter, the very friendly receptionists and the doctor, not to mention kind and attentive, thank you Juan Cavajal for your attention to us... we will return soon, truly grateful to Nina's”

“This animal clinic is by far the best I have visited with my dog in the last 12 years of her life! The people are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. They truly do put animals first and that’s extremely reassuring, as I believe they are a little larger than many other vets I’ve been to. I was so amazed when my dogs growth burst and was bleeding on a Friday evening and I called the office to get an appointment, the receptionist answered the phone at 5:29pm, when they close at 5:30. She was very patient and worked with me to get my dog scheduled asap with no irritation that I had called when she likely could have been walking out the door! My dog has seen both Dr Dunn and Dr Smith and both are very warm and you can feel they care about animals and listened to my concerns. There isn’t enough room to compliment the entire staff I’ve interacted with. It’s so rare that every interaction with every member of a team is a warm and pleasant one! Thank you, Clark Road Animal Clinic!”

“They weren't able to assist me with my dogs skin issue because they were only a vaccine clinic but they did refer me to a vet in the area and gave me a $50 off coupon for the vet.”

“We are very happy with Dr. Alimpic. Our elderly dog had extremely rotten teeth and needed all of his teeth removed. After the initial consultation we decided to go with Dr. Alimpic. Dr. Alimpic did an outstanding job. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in veterinary medicine, yet was still compassionate and attentive to our concerns. Throughout the process she called several times to inquire about his well-being. She was also very reasonable and honest when it came to costs. We highly recommend her.”

“I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!!!!! I'm so glad I found them so many years ago. Dr. Carrie and Dr. Mark were definitely meant to be Veterinarians. If you want true compassion, not just for your pet but yourself as well, this is the place to go. I can't tell you what a great place this is. Did I mention that I LOVE them?!?!?!?!?! And no, I'm not an employee or paid spokesperson. I was a Vet Tech for 20 years and have worked with MANY vets and have fired many (as a client). I would recommend SAH whether I had pets or not.”

“The veterinarian and staff were very friendly, they were very knowledgeable and I would feel confident in taking any type of animal to this Clinic for a sincere thorough and honest opinion for your loved pet to get the best of care!”

“If I could give this place 100 stars I would, The staff here we absolutely amazing, I just adopted my first puppy and this is the vet we took her to after the pet store sold her to us sick, they were so caring and were doing everything they can to figure out what was wrong with her, they gave her some medicine and they gave her a nail trim, overall they seemed very caring about my puppy..about 2 days later the vet tech that attended her called to see how she was doing which caught me by surprise cuz like I said it showed that they cared..definitely feel like I can trust the staff and vet”
