I took my cat there for shots and too be declawed. I told them my cat already had his rabie shot . I took him in there and before I new it he needed this he needed that AND THEY GAVE HIM ANOTHER RABIE SHOT the total was $317.00 .When I picked him up they said he needed too come in for a follow up . So I called the day of his appointment to see what they were gonna do . Now it is $27.00 for and examine ( Which he was just in there less than 3 weeks ago ) and than there is a booster shot another $14.00. Oh and another dewormer which is $ 17.00. These people love your money . I was in there with another cat less than 3 weeks ago and had to have him put to sleep . They did and xray . I was devasted with my lost oh but they charged me $237.00. How's that for compassion. LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VET.

Dr. Finnell has treated my two dogs for the last several years and performed surgery on the one of them (a thirteen year old mutt). I have found the quality of the care and compassion exhibited to be exceptional. The entire staff has been helpful and caring for my animals. I would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone.

I think they are over priced and though the office looks very nice and is very clean, I also don't care for the lack of politeness from some of the front desk women. I thought the vets were fine but not great for the price.

This Vet Hospital might be a little overpriced, however, my pets health do not have a price tag. I taolly trust Dr. Veal. I've had a dog with cancer who has been diagnosed about 8 years ago and he is alive, happy and healthy. Dr. Veal has always been caring, attentive, extremely nice, professional and a GREAT vet! Recently I took my cat to be seen by her because at another vet clinic (I had moved from the area and came back just to see Dr. Veal) I was told he had to have his leg amputated! Dr. Veal saw him and totally discarded the need for that...it was simply a node from an infection he had in his paw...she also cleaned his ears (I told at the other clinic he needed it to be done and they never did it...after performing 3 surgeries on my cat...). To sum it up...I will ALWAYS come back to this clinic...ALWAYS come back to Dr. Veal... She treated all the pets I've had here in Orlando...she is THE BEST!

Pros: Outstanding vet care

Cons: Not even one

My husband was born and raised in Orlando and this is the vet that he has always taken his pets to. However, when I took my cats there to get declawed I wasn't quite satisfied. The nurses were not overly friendly and although the vet was very nice, it was the prices that I was unhappy with. I know from being a previous cat owner the approximate price of this procedure. They charged me far beyond that. I tried to justify it to myself by thinking that I would rather have my pets in a place I can trust than to go somewhere cheaper but not feel good about leaving them there. They also told me after the fact that the cats had an ear problem that they treated while they were under for the declawing. I found that absurd that they would just perform a procedure without asking for owner's permission and expect me to pay. I guess they just assumed we had to pay it since it was already done. The whole thing ended up costing about $500!! Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. The overall experience wasn't bad and I know that it is a very reputable place but I was just not happy with how it was handeled. I think I will be finding a new vet.

Pros: Trusted establishment, Nice veterinarian

Cons: Extremely overcharged
