I wouldn’t have my little Lilly if it wasn’t for Dr Shaw and his amazing staff! Monday started off with a very sick little Kitty. We took her to our local vet and they couldn’t see her. I tried everything as I had a feeling she wasn’t going to make it if she didn’t get help soon. I tried calling every vet office around and no one could see her until I called Choice Veterinary Clinic in Punta Gorda. This was a half hour drive but her only chance. So glad we did. Dr Shaw was guarded but realized when he saw her she wouldn’t survive if we didn’t do something immediately. I left my tiny little fur baby there in his hands and he promised to call with an update after getting labs and fluids started. We got a call with news that her WBC were extremely high and they were giving 2 antibiotics along with the fluids. The prognosis was still guarded but the staff was amazing at keeping us updated and Dr Shaw called himself to go over a plan of care and our choices. We agreed it best to remain there to keep getting fluids, antibiotics, and some nutritional support. They called after closing and gave me positive but guarded news and called first thing this morning. They were planning on repeating her labs later and decide if she was strong enough to come home. She was starting to act more responsive and alert. This afternoon I got the best call. She was eating some and her lab work was in normal range and we could pick her up at closing Today, just about 30 hours later! We got greeted by a very happy staff! They took such great care and made sure we had all we needed and explained her continued cares needed at home. Tonight she ate for us and took her nutritional supplement. Rolled on the floor and purred like her normal self. She had a lot of lap time too. We just want to Thank Dr Shaw and his caring staff for saving our little girl and her sister was glad to see her back home too!

I just want to say that they are a wonderful veterinarian clinic. They are very good at their jobs, they are very fair on their prices, they will see you very quickly if needed, and show respect and compassion to you and your fur babies. I used to go to another place I will not mention any names but if there was a problem and you needed to be seen you would have to wait in for 2-4 hours or longer in there waiting area. This place will see you that day with an appointment so no need to wait there. My old girl was in a lot of pain and we didn’t want her to have to go through anything else. The pain medication was no longer working for her and she wasn’t eating even with medication to make her hungry. They came to my house to give her home euthanasia so she would pass comfortable in her own bed. They were really so caring that it was really helpful to us in our time of need. My father was in the hospital going for surgery to remove his kidney the next morning being diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and we were all just so emotional with so many things hitting us at 1 time. This has probably been the worst year of our lives with so many losses this year. I just wanted to let everyone know how much we really appreciated their support and care. We will definitely continue to use their services for our other pets.

They were great with Pinky. Had to have 5 or 6 teeth pulled. He was a stray we took in and he's doing great.

Sushi has been a faithful patient of Choice veterinary services since she was a little tiny puppy. since then, they have seen her through two litters and a spay. She is now five years old and continues to love the amount of care and affection that all of the staff there give her. Thank you, Choice veterinary services for making zoo cheese visits, pleasant and always remembering her. See you again in a few months for dental cleaning!

We CAN’T begin to explain how much we LOVE Dr. Shaw !!! Because anything’s we could possibly say would be a huge understatement ! We are ALL very lucky to have such a loving, compassionate, understanding and super smart man to treat our pets (Family) !! We have a French Bulldog who had some surgery for breathing issues and spading. We were never worried about our Lucy in the Dr. hands. Which is extremely soothing when going through tough times. We have 3 awesome dogs that we bring here and as you know the cost of one dog is expensive let alone 3 dogs… But with Choice Veterinary Services Dr. Shaw does not crush you with cost like most vets do for their new shiny building etc…. Dr. Shaw is one of us !! He owns a Frenchie and possibly other pets. He picks up and hugs every dog that he treats ! The dogs lick his face like a cherry sucker.. lol.. So for what it’s worth I just want everyone to know where to go ! People from all over Florida travel to him. This place is where you want to go. I promise you my personal experiences here are just amazing… ❤️❤️

Dr Shaw and his staff are probably one of the best veterinarian establishments that I have been to! I have a couple of frenchies and have been to a few different vets in the Tampa, Springhill and Port Charlotte area. I can say Dr Shaw and his staff are highly knowledgeable, very friendly and willing to help as much as possible. I can also say I have been in situations where they could have charged me and decided not to (other vets charged me an arm and a leg) or could have charged me more and didn’t. I would definitely recommend this place to all of my friends and family!

Knowledgeable and caring vets. My pup ran into some gastro issues and was worked in the schedule with no trouble at all. Dr. Marcheco was very thorough during the exam and worked with Dr. Shaw to make sure my pup was referred to the best specialist. I can’t say enough good things about Choice Vet! Thank you to the entire team.

I wish we could give 10 stars, we cannot say enough about Dr. Shaw and the staff at Choice Veterinary. We thought we were losing our Big Boy Sven last month we called the office and was told to bring him in immediately, thank God we did he was diagnosed with diabetes his glucose was through the roof! After they got him stable Dr. Shaw sat with my husband and walked him through the steps of care that we would need to do at home, we have been able to reach out with any questions and they are ALWAYS available to answer, they have never made us feel like an inconvenience. We appreciate everything they do, even when Dr. Shaw does his annual house call to our little farm and things get a little crazy :) We appreciate you ALL!!!!

I will never forget the day you turned me away and my fur baby passed away in my arms,,
My fur baby was gasping for air struggling to breathe we stop an a lady locking the door wouldn't help I was begging her to save my gizmo,,she says to me sorry you have to go to port Charlotte we can't help you keep in mind didn't even want to look,,or offer any help couldn't even give oxygen to my fur baby instead was coldhearted turned away
My fur baby died on way to the vet in port Charlotte we couldn't get there in time to save her
Think twice before going to them my baby may still my of been here

Amazing care provided to the dog for who I was pet-sitting. They went above and beyond to squeeze her at the last minute for a same-day appointment and explained everything needed in detail. Highly recommended.
