    First, you have to sit outside or in your car with your pet even with an appointment, you will have a 30 minute or longer wait. Their inside lobby is very small and we were told by the front desk staff they prefer all clients to stay outside to reduce the number of conflicts between owners, staff and pets. Our dog was diagnosed with an ear infection by the vet. The treatment plan was to pack both ears with ear medicine by the vet tech with a recheck in two weeks to repack both ears. We were not given a leaflet, instructions or any information about the ear medicine. We were not verbally told by the staff of any possible side effects or to watch for certain behavior changes. When we returned home after the recheck and with the medicine packed into his ears again, he immediately vomited and went to sleep. The next day he wasn't acting himself, he was barely able to keep his eyes opened. I spoke to the vet's front office staff member and she said it wasn't anything to worry about. The next day I called the vet's office and asked to bring him because he wouldn't open his eyes. She said they couldn't get me in but I could pay extra and bring him in as a walk-in on the next day. I ended up googling the ear medicine listed on my receipt "Claro Otic Solution." I read it had a dangerous side effect causing cornea abrasions to a dog's eyes. I paid the extra money and brought my dog in and told the vet what I had read online. He said he had heard about the side effects but had not yet seen it in his practice. My dog had cornea abrasions in both eyes. The vet said he wanted to see him again 3 days. When I checked out I asked for an appointment in 3 days per the vet's instructions and the staff member said not to worry, we would get him in. I called on the second day to find out what time to bring him the next day and was told their was no opening. I explained the vet wanted to see him because of his eye injuries and the young girl put the supervisor on the line who firmly said we do not have any openings. Since I had a shot appointment for my other pet, I would be switching and bringing in my injured pet. There is nothing nice I can say about the front desk manager. She is rude both to clients and staff. After several weeks of the two vets trying to treat his eyes unsuccessfully we were referred to a traveling eye specialist who would meet us outside the vet's office. We had two visits with eye specialist and before the third visit our beautiful little dog's left eye exploded in the early morning. It was horrific, his lens was on top of his head in his fur, there was blood and tissue all over his tiny face. We tried calling the BVH emergency number but go no answer (we did get a returned call 2.5 hours later.) We rushed over to the Ocala Emergency Vet but they took one look at him and told us we needed to take him to UF Small Animal Hospital in Gainesville. The vet at UF removed the rest of his eye. He had his stitches removed a few days ago by a our new vet and is doing well. Separate incident, I found a separate 4 cent charge on my credit card from BVH and when I called and spoke to the rude front desk manager, her response was it was a mistake but they didn't know whose account the girl made the mistake on since each charge has a corresponding receipt. I asked her credit my credit card for the erroneous 4 cent charge. Of course she did not credit my card as I requested, instead she took it upon herself to place a 4 cent credit to my file. Our other dog got his teeth cleaned they recommended further testing which we agreed. We called back two days later to see if the pathology report was in and we were told it was in but only Jaime could tell us what it said so they would have her call us back. Another day passed and no call back. I called again and again was told Jaime was busy and she would call us back. Still no call back the next day. The girl at the front desk said she was sorry but she left Jaime a note on her desk to call us back. On the sixth day my husband called and said if Jaime did not call us back today, he was coming in person to get the results. Surprisingly, Jaime called back and said the report came in showing he has an infection and needs additional antibiotics. So basically days went by where he could have been on the additional antibiotics to treat his infection all while we were waiting for a call back. Yes, we have changed vets. Our new vet treats us with respect and the staff is friendly and polite. Total opposite of what we experienced at BVH. If I had googled the BVH vet first, we would have never taken our pets there in the first place, after reading about this vet being found guilty of hiring two boys to burn down a barn with 12 horses inside, actually made me sick to my stomach.

    We have 8 rescues. We were with Belleview Vet for almost a year. Spent a small fortune. Took in a 10 year old pup. Many health issues. They recommend some teeth extractions. Did bloodwork. Did not say she wasn't well enough or give us any risks. A week after the extraction she passed away. During that week we called 2 times asking about her bloodwork. Told they were busy they will get back to us. No one got back to us. We knew something was different after the procedure she was just not right. When she passed we were devastated, not only did we just lose our girl but were taken for almost $500 to do a high risk procedure. And not once telling us any risk. I'm a reasonable person mostly, I understand every surgery has some degree of risk. But this could have been prevented. She obviously was not healthy enough. And we still wouldn't know without her bloodwork. Please no advice or comment. Be kind to one another. I'm just telling my story. We called asking to speak to the Vet. Was told the message would be passed on. Left another message and we'll...It's been almost a month. Still waiting What happened to Vets? Not all. But when they don't send their clients out sympathy card,if for any other reason, for losing a client. It's just human decency and good business. Nice job Belleview Vet! Way to care. But I understand, your too busy.... Heartbroken over pup.

    The staff is so sweet. I took my baby girl in to get cremated and they were quick and efficient with everything. I love it there.

    It's a shame I have to write this because I've brought multiple dogs to see Dr. McCall over the…read morepast 5 years and referred a number of my neighbors as well. I never had any complaint about Dr. McCall. Dr. Johnson on the other hand - STAY AWAY!!!!! NEVER bring your dog there for their dental cleaning!!! All I'm gonna say is I brought my darling Izzy in for dental in Sept 2025. She came home in terrible condition! She couldn't eat, she could barely stand or walk and they had no hours when I could bring her back in because I work 8-4:30 and so do they. When I kept calling there and expressing my being upset, they tried to turn it on me that it's MY fault because I didn't bring her back after her surgery. How could I when I work???? I kept bringing her to the emergency animal hospital on 40. Their after care is pathetic. It cost me $1800 to basically kill my little girl. She ended up passing away in my arms the following week - After multiple visits to the emergency Vet. NEVER let Dr. Johnson do dental on your dog! Go to Marion County Humane Society clinic. They are 1/3 the cost, they do the bloodwork the morning of surgery so there is NO QUESTION that your dog can be safely put under anesthesia. The Vet there as well as the team were outstanding. My new rescue came home after surgery and the first thing he wanted to do was eat! What a difference. Save your heart from breaking and avoid this place. Again, my condolences to Dr. McCall because I really liked her, but she was also a disappointment in the end because she never reached out to me during this fiasco.

    Dr. Johnson has done dental cleaning and several extractions on my middle aged cocker, Katie…read more ALWAYS thorough and always happy with his work. His office is well run with minimal wait times. He calls with results of blood work and gives detailed explanations of the readings. I worked for a vet decades ago. Toby Johnson is my top choice here in Ocala area.

    My first experience with a professional homeopathic practitioner was with Dr.Gerald Wessner V.M.D…read more yesterday. Id always been interested in herbal and natural cures, but when my 9 year old great dane had huge seizure after huge seizure, (5 in less than 24 hrs) I was ony thinking "help". So I looked on the internet for a vet close to our new home and found reviews rather lacking and some scary for the conventional vets. But this clinic had all good reviews. I called the next morning after dealing with 3 night seizures and she was still alive. A friend had called to check on her and gave me the name and number to the conventional vet he uses in the area, i figured would be good to have "just in case". When Dr. Gerald returned my call within the hour and I explained the situation he said to bring her in, that he would fit her in. I had to get my brother to help me take her to the vet, about 130lbs, and stumbling to walk, plus I was afraid any vet would say it'd be more humane to just put her to sleep. Arriving to the clinic, it was small, not easily spotted, was quaint, like a cute country vet. Getting nervous because of all the horse decor and carpeted floors, (made me feel like he doesnt deal with inside animals) I held my ground while my brother stared me down. Once in the examining room, the Dr. was very eccentric, a little odd to say the least. He didnt bother with a bunch of googoogahgah with the dog. He did a different kind of examination, strange, but he must be used to the strange looks, he just rolled on through. By the time we left, he had administered a few of the "medicines" he sent with us, and she was no longer stumbling over her own feet and she seemed to be 'back', her eyes focusing and taking in her surroundings with interest. He instructed me to stay home with her for the next week to care for and administer some things as much as every waking hour. Within 6 hours of being home she was 50% better. Not completely sure she wasnt gonna die in the night, I saved my jubilation. She is in day 2 of his holistic care and acting like she wasnt knocking on deaths door 48 hours ago. I would trust this man with treating my child. He also does phone consultations and treatments. He is amazing. My brother isn't 100% convinced in his miracle magic, but he, along with everyone else that seen her thought 90% certain a vet was going to suggest putting her down and every hour was a strugge for her to live on her own. When I left the vets office and called my husband, he had braced hisself that he would hear the news of her peaceful passing. Instead I told him, "She isnt completely better, but she has a chance, a really good one from the looks of it." The next morning, she is amost as good as new. Strange man, but I didnt go to him to find new friends, I went to him for help with my dog. The end!
