    Both Dr Garner Senior and his son Dr Garner helped me through a very difficult time, while being compassionate.

    They took great care of my cat who dislocated his shoulder very caring and very helpful thank you…read moreto all who work there

    If you're looking for a veterinarian, don't go to Island Animal Hospital unless you're a…read moremillionaire. If I didn't have an appointment, I would have thought they were closed. There were NO cars in the parking lot in the middle of a weekday. Very strange and should have been my first clue something is off for an office with two vets available and no visible patients. Another clue should have been the "payment responsibility" disclosure they required me to sign before they would even look at my pet. In more than 60 years of pet ownership, I have never had to sign something like that before treatment. I brought my cat in because she had not eaten or had a bowel movement in seven days. After an exam and X-rays, I was told everything was fine and that she was probably pooping somewhere in the house. EXCUSE ME??? As if I hadn't already thought of that and looked everywhere myself. This is a cat who has NEVER done that in the 13 years I've had her. So, I left with no answers, no explanation for why my cat hadn't eaten in a week, no explanation for why she hadn't pooped in a week, and a $250 charge on my credit card. Apparently, at Island Animal Hospital, "everything is fine" is considered a diagnosis. And don't even get me started on the condition of the office. With the fees they charge, one would think they could afford to update the place. It looks like very little has changed since Dr. Moore was there nearly 30 years ago. When your pet hasn't eaten or had a bowel movement for seven days, you expect answers. Instead, I got a guess, a credit card charge, and was sent on my way. No wonder they are still taking new patients when every other vet in town is not. Do yourself a favor and look for another vet.

    1) Front end customer service…read more 2) speed of testing results 3) follow up by vet and front desk/ support personnel 4) hard to assess pricing. But seems very high and often upselling testing.

    I am beyond disappointed and shocked by the treatment I received at West Villages Animal Clinic…read moretoday. I have been taking my dog here for two years, and while they haven't always been the friendliest, today's experience was truly traumatic. I went in to get a prescription for heartworm medication. I was initially told by the receptionist that my dog needed a yearly exam first. When I pointed out that she had just been seen (and I have the receipt for a "Veterinary Technician Appointment" and heartworm screening from January), things took a turn. The receptionist went to the back and returned to tell me that the previous exam "wasn't good" because it was done by a technician. When I asked for clarification and requested the prescription again, she disappeared again and brought out a man who never introduced himself. He was incredibly aggressive and spoke to me in a very upset tone. He falsely accused me of being rude to his colleague--which my husband and another witness in the waiting room can confirm is untrue--and then flatly refused to give me the prescription and told us to leave. It is heartbreaking to be treated this way as a loyal customer simply for asking questions about my dog's care and valid previous appointments. I will not be returning, and I want to warn others about the lack of professionalism and the hostile environment at this office.

    Terrible experience at Myakka River Animal Clinic in Venice with Dr. Dawn Spokowski. What started…read moreas a simple wellness visit turned into one of the most uncomfortable vet experiences I've ever had. During the first visit, she came off cold but recommended a follow-up for my dog's anal glands. At that follow-up, my dog was clearly in distress during the procedure, I even offered to hold him to help, but wasn't allowed, and the assistant holding him got scratched by my screaming squealing very uncomfortable dog. Then I was hit with a surprise $28 "difficult dog" fee that was NEVER mentioned before--even though his behavior was the same at the first visit. When I later asked for help getting my dog seen sooner for a surgery she said should be done ASAP, I was met with sarcasm--she literally compared my question to asking Publix to recommend another store ... like where is the compassion?? It only got worse. When I called to cancel my dog's upcoming surgery, she responded "we figured that." When I asked what that meant, she refused. I told her she is rude and she told me "that's usually what people say can't handle the truth." I said "maam what truth couldn't I handle??" She gave no answer ‍. Final straw--when I said I'd leave a review, she made sure to mention she had photos of her employee's scratched arm, which felt more like intimidation than professionalism. Dr Dawn Spakowsi is rude, dismissive, and lacks basic care her own staff if you ask me. Like why isn't your staff wearing a shirt with sleeves? 0/100 do not recommend Below are Facebook comments from others with similar experiences. SMH so sad.
