If you are looking for a veterinarian, who will love and care for your animals, the same way that you care for your animals, this is definitely the Veterinarian for you. Our babies lives have been in their hands for over 15years. I highly recommend backwards trail Veterinarian Clinic, and I would never go anywhere else.

My Coco needed Dr. Jeff in a bad way, having trouble eating, etc. The staff is so loving and compassionate first of all. It's like they can feel your pain! Dr. Jeff did an exam on Coco and found a mass in his mouth that Coco wouldn't let him really look at, so he had to be sedated for further evaluation. Dr. Jeff and his assistant were so loving and compassionate with Coco, it is just amazing the way Dr. Jeff has room for so much love for our animals and only wants whats very best for them! Coco had to stay the night. I had to ask about the cost and it was way out of my ability to pay and I started to cry and told her I guess I'd have to put Coco (who is 15 and had a great life with me) to sleep. It was just so heart wrenching and unfair to Coco but because people don't want to pay their bills the clinic can't let you pay something up front and make monthly payments. I guess they have been burned pretty badly! I was so distraught! I knew this would be so hard to live with. The receptionist said, Wait a minute, there is a program called Care Credit and she'd see if I qualified. It only took a minute and I qualified for all and even more than it would require to get Coco taken care of! What a blessing from God! Today, Dr. Jeff did surgery on Coco, removed a mass and a tooth and Coco did just fine. I'm waiting for the phone call to go pick up my precious Coco now. I just wanted to let people know in this area, Interlachen Vet Clinic and Dr. Jeff is the place to go and if you need it these Care Credit people are a God send. You won't find a better place to tend to your animals needs in a loving, patient, and compassionate way! I will be forever their biggest fan, thus this review! God bless them!

I also must add, his personnel are very attentive and care about you and your fur babies I have referred a few neighbors to you as well. Thank you Dr Merritt and staff for being there for me when I needed your care.

Perhaps, they were "Doing things" to try and prevent your dogs death. Would you rather they did nothing? Medical Doctors "Do Things" to try and prolong a humans life. At times it is the Humans Doctors best guess based on the condition of the human patient. Have you heard the term "Practicing Medical Doctor?" They learn each day how to provide the best care they can. As does Animal Veterinarians. If the job was easy anyone could do it,.. aye. The death of any pet is hard to take. In your case your Dog was a service Dog. But, none the less, a canine animal. As such, the animal cannot communicate to advise the Vet. of any problems. So, at times like this a Vet. must "Do things" to try and treat the Dog. Wife and I have taken our Dogs the Suwannee Oaks since 1983. They have taken very good care of our Dogs without us having to take a second mortgage out on our house. When our Dogs reached the Rainbow Bridge these Vets. helped our Dogs go to the other side with the compassion one would have for a Humanbeing.

The person hanging up was not only rude, but represented the business poorly. This was my first and last call to this business because apparently they don't need or value new customers!

Our poodle had 2 surgeries -- one to remove benign masses on an eyelid and another to repair a torn ligament in her knee. Very good results, very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.
