Veterinarians in Orlando

“Had to find a new vet after moving from NC. DR. Garcia is everything any pet owner could ask for. We are glad we found YFV for our Sadie girl.“

“I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Dr. Heather Lipp and the entire team at CityVet Lake Nona. After everything we have gone through with Kobe recently, I’m extremely grateful that we had Dr. Heather taking care of him.

Kobe is our 16-year-old male Shih Tzu, so at his age, any sudden change in his health is scary. We originally brought him in because he had gotten very sick with stomach issues. He had diarrhea, bloody stool, wasn’t eating like himself, and his energy had completely changed.

From the beginning, Dr. Heather was incredibly sweet, patient, and understanding. She took our concerns seriously, explained everything in a way we could understand, and gave us a clear plan for his medications, food, hydration, and recovery. With her treatment and guidance, his stomach issues improved tremendously. The diarrhea and bloody stool resolved, his appetite came back, and we finally started seeing our Kobe again.

Then, just when we thought we were getting past everything, Kobe suddenly developed a completely different problem. He started coughing, breathing really fast, making strange grunting sounds, and almost seemed like he was trying to catch his breath. Picking him up would sometimes trigger another episode. It was honestly terrifying, especially with him being 16.

When we brought him back, Dr. Heather took action immediately. She evaluated him and had chest X-rays done, which showed fluid in his lung and an enlarged heart pressing against his airway. We learned that he was experiencing congestive heart failure related to mitral valve disease.

Hearing “congestive heart failure” about your 16-year-old dog is obviously scary, but I will always be grateful for how Dr. Heather handled that day. She immediately started treatment to help remove the fluid and put Kobe on the heart medications he needed. She explained what was happening, what each medication was for, and what we needed to watch for at home.

Thankfully, Kobe responded incredibly well. His breathing improved so much, the coughing improved, his appetite came back, and little by little so did his personality. He’s drinking water on his own, wagging his tail, enjoying his little walks, stopping to smell things again, and just being Kobe. Seeing him comfortable and happy again after everything he went through means more to us than I can explain.

The entire staff at CityVet Lake Nona has also been amazing. Everyone we’ve spoken to has been sweet, patient, and communicative. Whenever we’ve had questions during their opening hours, they’ve always done their best to help us and communicate with Dr. Heather when needed.

I’ve had animals for around 20 years and have dealt with plenty of veterinarians, and Dr. Heather genuinely stands out to me. She took action when Kobe needed it most, and the care she and the staff have given him throughout this entire experience has meant so much to our family.

We know Kobe is 16 and that his heart condition will require lifelong care, but right now he’s comfortable, eating, drinking, wagging his tail, enjoying his walks, and being himself again. After everything that happened, that’s all we could ask for.

Thank you, Dr. Heather, and everyone at CityVet Lake Nona for taking such wonderful care of our baby. We are truly so grateful!!!“

“I have been taking my bearded dragon here to Dr. Diaz for 6 years and he is genuinely kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable in reptiles. He answers questions with detail and handles my pet with the utmost of care. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. As long as I have a reptile, I will be going to Dr. Diaz.“

“We saw a tech on our visit. She was very friendly to us and Kary. She answered our questions and her explanations were easy to understand. And she made sure the coast was clear on our way out. Well done!“

“The doctor's and staff at this Veterinary Clinic are informed, professional and compassionate. You simply cannot ask for a better team.“

“We had a hard last year with two of our kitties having to be put to sleep so we were nervous bringing Wolfie in for his first real vet visit. Everyone was so sweet with Wolfie- no surprise there since this is true with all of our other cats that are/have been patients there. Thank you guys for everything you do!“

“They took great care of our injured dog and prescribed medication that started to resolve the issue within 24 hours. They were kind to my son and handled our dog with great care; I highly recommend.“

“If you are looking for a great vet and care for your pet this is THE PLACE!! All around concern and love for pets and owners.“

“Wonderful service by everyone at the clinic. The vet doctor was very nice and answered all our questions, and Veronica the vet nurse was very friendly and caring with our puppy she gave us a lot of great advice. Thank you!“

“I have been taking both of my dogs here for years. The staff is awesome!! They take care of your pets like they are their own.“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hunters Creek Animal Hospital. From the moment we stepped through the door, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.

The entire staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. The customer service was truly extraordinary. Everyone took the time to explain procedures clearly and made both my dog and me feel welcomed, supported, and at ease from the very beginning.

Dr. Bayer is absolutely fantastic. He is incredibly knowledgeable, confident, and compassionate. He was not at all intimidated by my Shar-Pei, approached my dog with calm assurance, and demonstrated a deep understanding of the breed and its common medical concerns. His expertise was immediately evident, and I felt complete trust in his care.

The pricing was more than reasonable. After being quoted nearly $4,000 elsewhere for the same services, Hunters Creek Animal Hospital provided an estimate of around $800, which was transparent and fair. What truly stood out was that Dr. Bayer personally called me during my dog’s procedure to provide an update and to ensure I was comfortable moving forward with everything outlined in the estimate. That level of communication, respect, and professionalism is rare.

Overall, this practice is friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. I felt heard, respected, and confident every step of the way.

I highly recommend Hunters Creek Animal Hospital,especially Dr. Bayer, to anyone looking for outstanding veterinary care. This is truly a wonderful place to bring your pet.“

“Dr. Matthew Fife is the absolute best. I’ve been seeing him for five years to care for my Shar Pei’s eyes. He’s performed entropion surgery on my puppy’s eyes that were folding in and also helped me treat my dog for glaucoma later on in life.

The staff is extremely helpful and will even help you find coupons on GoodRx to help with medication costs at the pharmacy. Reasonably priced for the excellent care they provide.“

“First time at Forever Pet and it won’t be my last. Very friendly and informative doctors. Will definitely be coming back“

“This place not only cares for your pets , they make them feel loved and warm. I love this place and staff.“

“Yonelys & Damian they great with pets excellent customer service, l personally recommend this pet hospital.“

“In 2008, Dr. Glenn and the EOAH team repaired my Lily's tibial fracture. She was only 6 months old when the injury happened, so the repair and excellent after-care ensured she went on to enjoy so many more adventures than my husband and I could've imagined.

Lily went on to climb mountains, play in creeks, and roadtrip with us from Florida to Utah to Washington. Our sweet girl lived to be fourteen years young this year, but we were still not ready when the moment came to say good-bye.

My husband and I are still so very grateful to Dr. Glenn and EOAH's expert care all those years ago so Lily could live on to have a full life without a limp or care in the world. Thank you!“

“Outstanding care, communication, and follow-through — forever grateful

We brought our dog, Betty Boop, to Animal Cancer Care Clinic during one of the most stressful times a pet owner can face, and I can’t say enough good things about the care we received from start to finish.

For context: Betty was diagnosed by our local vet with a Stage 2 soft tissue sarcoma in her rear paw. Our vet actually recommended this clinic (and has even used them for her own dog), which gave us confidence from day one. I loved how quick they responded to my initial inquiry.

Our surgeon, Dr. Tammi Ruddle, was absolutely incredible: knowledgeable, personable, calm, and truly reassuring. She explained everything clearly, answered every question, and made us feel like Betty was in the best possible hands (because she was).

Our initial consultation was with Dr. Shannon O’Day, who was thorough, straightforward, and extremely informative. She gave us exactly what we needed to make an informed decision for Betty’s care — and when I asked what she would do in our situation, she actually answered. That honesty meant a lot, more than she probably knows.

The entire staff was wonderful: kind, patient, and genuinely caring. What stood out most was the follow-through, they did everything they said they would do. Updates, communication, follow-ups… that level of consistency and professionalism is rare these days.

I also want to share our outcome: Betty’s margins came back clean, and we were told they believe they removed all of the cancer in that area. I know outcomes can vary and nothing is guaranteed, but I truly believe this result was possible because of this team’s expertise, planning, and care.

Lastly, a note: veterinary oncology is emotional, high-stakes, and scary, and that stress can color how experiences are perceived. From our perspective, this clinic delivered exactly what you hope for: expertise, compassion, and clear communication.

We’re deeply grateful to the Animal Cancer Care Clinic team for helping our girl through this with such honesty and care. Highly recommend to anyone facing cancer with their four-legged family member.“

“I've been going to SODO for 10 years, starting at Kirkpatrick Veterinary Hospital ever since I got my little Izzy at only 5 weeks old. Dr. Patino is so knowledgable and trust him with everything I've got. I now live in Palm Coast and make the trek to see him. His staff and assistants are always friendly and helpful. Thank you SODO family!“

“I'd previously been one of those that only took her cat to the vet if something was wrong, but I wanted to have Winnie seen regularly in her senior years. I was worried I'd be scolded about how infrequently winnie had been to the vet in the 3 years I'd had her, but the staff at Kindred Spirits were so kind and never batted an eye at me!

I got set up on an affordable care plan for Winnie to be able to have her bloodwork and exams on a regular schedule every year, and Winnie had a dental cleaning and two extractions. The facility is clean, the staff is so kind to my baby kitty, and they went the extra mile to make sure I felt safe leaving her with them every step of the way. They even went as far as following up the morning after her dental cleaning to see how her night went after anesthesia - attention to detail on lock! So relieved to have found a great practice for my baby!“

“I’ve brought my dogs a few times here already, they’ve seen both Dr. Hayes and Dr. Dosher. All I can say is they’re amazing!!! They were with another vet for 3yrs and they have never been treated as amazing as they have here. My dog is a bit anxious and it would take 3-4 people to handle my dog at the other place. Here they sit down with my dogs on the floor and gain my dogs trust, without any extra help. They are amazing at what they do here, the only downside is that whenever your dog is sick you have to wait a week to a week and half to be seen. So emergencies don’t work here but as a primary it works.“

“I have been taking my pets to Dr Liz for over 15 years. She is personable, knowledgeable, and caring. I couldn’t ask for a better vet!“

“I was referred by a friend. Rightfully so. They are great with scared animal patients. They don't try selling you on anything unnecessary. Very caring“

“Dr. Kennedy has been my vet for 4 different dogs since 1996! ! They are very accessible and have taken great care of my fur babies. I highly recommend him!“

“I started with this vet since I had an emergency with my dog and stayed with them. Even when I didn't have an appointment and it was last minute.“

“Lovely experience! They were very thorough with explaining what they were going to do, why they were going to do it, and how much it would cost. They were so gentle and sweet with my baby. The clinic is clean. I will be bringing my other pets here!!“
