Dr.Dieter never told me how sick my dog was. He died in front of me. When I called him he said What do you think I'm God...it destroyed me.. read more

Terrible front office staff. (Awesome surgeon) A week or so after a visit, an text is received about my Bully needing a shot. Why was that not done during the recent visit? Moreso; my Bully has allergies that require a Rx. After years of being on this Rx, the vet office does not return Rx requests from the same Pet RX company; or, their reply is that my Bully is not prescribed for this Rx. She's been on the Rx for over four years; yet, they have no record of previous Rx orders to the same vendor over the last several years? Or, do I just need to bring her in for a visit charge? There is just no excuse for denying my pet's comfort and well being by administrative incompetence! read more

Everyone at AVH are amazing! The Vet is knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. The office staff is friendly and welcoming. It's never easy going to a vet but they make the experience better than any I have been to before. Highly recommend. read more

I have been taking my dogs here for approximately 10 years. One of my dogs has had all of her care here since she was a puppy. Another of my dogs became very ill several years ago, requiring hospitalization prior to her passing. The staff kept me informed with treatment options available at that time. My pets have both had surgeries and dental cleanings here. I have also used them for boarding. The staff here has always been professional and caring. My pets have received care from both Doctors, Dr. Kern and Dr. Dieter, with Dr. Dieter being their primary vet. All of the staff here have been helpful when I have had questions, called with problems, etc. They treat you like family and your animals as though they were their own. I have recommended this clinic to friends and neighbors who are also very happy with the care given here. You and your furry family members will love it here! read more

We see Dr. Dieter. We only see this Vet. once or twice a year when we arrive in FL. Seems the trip causes some issues and this clinic always comes up with a solution that works for our 12 year old Brittany. Staff is always polite and helpful. Dr. Dieter always spend a decent amount of time doing a complete physical exam. I have never expected or received a pre-exam cost quote from a vet., a doctor, or a mechanic. However I have always felt that Advanced Veterinary Hospital charges were reasonable. I would recommend this Veterinary Hospital to anyone who asked. read more

Oh my God I trust these guys so much. They genuinely empathize with pets AND their owners. Weekly, I must drop my dog 'Timmy' off so I can participate in visitation with my 'human' children. Last month, I had to extend Timmy's' stay for a week in order to observe Halloween, which I had mindlessly forgotten. "Advanced Veterinary Hospital " assured me 'Timmy' would enjoy his extended stay. Tip: (Always make a reservation, just in case they're fully occupied.) I think their prices are $20 or so dollars per 10lbs. They also offer bathing and nail trimming during your dogs' stay. Its literally spa retreat for your dog, I love them! read more

Absolute worst veterinarian in the entire world!!!! Awful staff as well!!! I went to this hospital thinking it was actually advanced. Unfortunately, they are the exact opposite. I brought my Dachshund in after my mix breed attacked her. They prescribed her ear antibiotics and instructed me to put it on her wounds!!!!! I called and they said it was actually for her ears and that she had an ear infection. They DID not tell me that at the appointment. So I gave my dog two doses and boom she's deaf!!!!! What's worse is that I asked the vet for advice on preventing another dog fight and she didn't give me advice because she was literally staring at all my tattoos. She even said it "What? I'm sorry. I was looking at your tattoo on your thigh."!!!!!! There was another dog fight so I decided to have the aggressive dog put down. She was put down by the same vet. I DID NOT GET MY DOGS REMAINS FOR 3 WEEKS!!!! ADVANCED ANIMAL HOSPITAL KEPT MY DOG IN THEIR INDUSTRIAL FREEZER INSTEAD OF HAVING HER CREMATED IN A TIMELY MANNER!!!!! I had to call them three times just to have my dogs remains!!!!! I contacted the cremation company and they agreed with me that they did not get my deceased dogs body for weeks. Normal vet hospitals have deceased animals picked up very very quickly!!!! I hate that vet and I swear to God this is all true. I've got the receipt for the day my dog was euthanized and a cremation certificate dated 3 weeks later. Don't go there unless you want a vet that thinks she's still 21 and will probably mistreat your fur babies dead or alive. read more

They won't give you a quote over the phone. You have to bring your animal in and pay the exam fee just for them to give you a quote of how much something is. I had an injured stray cat who needed to be sedated to have his mouth looked at. I called just to get an idea of how much it would cost to have him sedated. Because this vet is closest to me. I was trying to see if they were cheaper than my other vet which is further away. They couldn't even give me a roundabout cost of how much it would cost for a 10 lb cat. They wanted me to put him in a carrier, drag him all the way there, take off work, pay an exam fee JUST to tell me how much they charge to sedate him. Are you kidding me? They just lost a long time customer. I'm not stressing out a cat and going up there and paying a $50 exam/office fee just to tell me how much they charge to sedate a cat. And then, go back up there for the procedure and pay another $50 office fee. Get real. Be weary of vets that refuse to give estimates over the phone. How are you supposed to know how much money you need for the vet visit if they don't tell you even a slight estimate?? --If you want a quote, call Day And Evening pet hospital in Palm Harbor. They will tell you how much procedures cost without you having to drag your animal in, take time out of your day and pay an exam fee just to find out. They charge about $70 for sedation. Prior to this, I called and left a message asking them to call me back because I wanted to get another cat in and needed an appointment ASAP. Did they call me back? Nope. read more

I can't say enough about the wonderful care that my Max got after having a tumor removed from above his eye. Dr. Kern and her staff were so helpful in after surgery care. It's so difficult when you know your pet is in pain but they were right there to help. I'm so grateful and would recommend them. read more

In my opinion the lack of caring and follow through by this office is abhorrent. One would like to think that your or my animal would come first but unfortunately that is not the case with this vets office.. I found it very sad that the follow thru was so poor. Even though they were given several requests and two weeks to e mail the necessary paperwork for my cat to get his needed scheduled treatment elsewhere It was not done!! They were not honorable enough to admit their​ error even when confronted and could be verified. Please realize that I took the time to comment so someone else will know that even when you pay these high vet bills it doesn't insure good care. read more

My 14 year old dog is only alive today because of Dr. Cern and her supportive staff at Advanced Veterinary Hospital. My dog was not able to stand,he dragged his back legs, and had been over prescribed on prednisone and was a wreck. I was away on a trip and had him with me and decided to get a second opinion because I thought we were going to have to put the dog down. The second vet helped but recommended when i got back to our home we take him to Dr. Cern. Not only was she supportive and caring but she put him on a different medication which helped his pain, cleared up a skin condition, and genuinely helped get him on his four feet again. I can not thank her and her staff enough for giving our very loved maltese another lease on life! read more
