    The staff is very friendly and helpful. The vets answer all your questions and don't rush you. The…read morevets I went to before would have you drop off your pet and call you when they are done, so you didn't get any information from them. It was so refreshing to have the vet spend time with me. I was previously told my dog had a heart murmur but never knew how bad it was. This vet told me that it was only a 2 to 3 out of 6. That gave me reassurance. My dog is 13 and I want to keep her as healthy as possible. Love these guys.

    Pro's: Vets are knowledgable and good with the animals except for the original vet not closing exam…read moreroom doors multiple times when your pet is free in the room. They seem up to date on latest practices minus things like CT's etc. Cons: It's the business practice side, communication, and lack of access that I'd say look elsewhere. Also, a vet willing to turn away an injured animal on a Friday afternoon is a major major negative especially with a prior scheduling arrangement. In 20 years of rescuing and fostering, I have never seen that action taken before. I have also never seen a practice before where you cannot leave a message or ask for a call back when their own lines are busy?! In fact, if you call most times, you cannot get through during their posted business hours. instead you get a message that states "if our 2 lines are busy then we are busy and so try calling again". No voicemail, and no way to return the call when They've left a message for you. No way to let them know you respected their time and tried to return their call. Other issues have been errors and missing rabies tag numbers they are required to submit. Lastly, most appts are more than 2 weeks out. Even with a sick or injured animals its often a 2 or more days wait. If anyone is familiar with felines - cats, by the time your pet shows injury or illness, you do not have much time left to help them. I've tried working with them for more than 6 months because they were recommend including driving up to them when can not reach by phone to answer their questions. I'm paying for this? And I'm not one of those rescue fosters that asks for free or very low fees. Professionals get to be paid for their training and experience. My experience has increasingly difficult and not willing to risk my job or my animals health trying to get it right with them. Final recommendations : 1) The younger staff need some additional customer service training including how to respectfully talk with customers, deescalation skills if unfortunately needed and simply how to build rapport. 2) Add an employee for simply handling your scheduling, phone calls, messages, and technology. Don't overload your vet techs with that front desk duties. bad business practice and creates their surly attitudes. Its great if your that busy and a growing practice. you will not be for much longer if you ignore addressing these gaps and your not given best care to the animals and their families.

    Our first visit with two new puppies, staff was very pleasent and welcoming. The wait for a room…read morewas very short, they were busy but not over whelmed. At the time of the year, the snowbirds are starting to leave. I am sure they get busy during season. There are lots of Pets in Punta Gorda!!! The vet tech preformed the routine first visit work, we had a great conversation and she provide lots of great tips for our new additions. Dr. Shaw was very plesant and gave each puppie a good look over and administerd the shots and Microchip. The puppies were not scared and Doc was great with them. He asked if we had questions and provided advice on the questions asked. This was a great first experience......

    I have been a client at Choice Veterinary for approximately two and a half years, and writing this…read morereview is honestly very saddening. I have invested a significant amount of time, money, and trust into this clinic -- but my recent experiences have left me extremely disappointed. To begin with, I do not live in the same city as this clinic. I drive over 40 minutes for appointments because I believed I was bringing my dogs somewhere reliable. With that kind of commute, punctuality and communication matter. Unfortunately, nearly every scheduled appointment has involved excessive wait times -- often 30 to 40 minutes or more -- with little to no updates from staff. When I've brought this concern to management, the issue might improve briefly, but it always returns to the same pattern. It shows a lack of consistency and respect for clients' time. As a breeder, veterinary evaluations are not casual visits for me -- they directly impact my program and future prospects. Most recently, I had OFA testing performed on one of my dogs. Anyone familiar with breeding understands that OFA results can make or break a potential prospect. During my appointment, I specifically asked about the X-rays and was told by two different technicians that the doctor said they looked good. Naturally, that gave me reassurance. However, when the official OFA results came back, my dog failed. That was shocking and extremely disappointing. When I called to speak directly with the vet, additional information was mentioned that had never been discussed with me at the time of the appointment. That lack of transparency is unacceptable, especially when dealing with something as serious and financially impactful as OFA testing. When I initially booked the appointment I was told I would have the opportunity to speak with the Dr who performed the Xrays (Dr. Shaw) Upon arrival that didn't happen. Instead, messages were being delivered through a middle man who mentioned that Dr. Shaw didn't see anything concerning and believed that the X-rays would result in a passing score (Lies). The vet offered to redo the X-rays. I arrived 8 minutes early for the follow-up appointment, only to wait 28 minutes after check-in with no updates. Ultimately, my dog was not even seen that day. After driving over 40 minutes, arranging my schedule, and showing up early, this was beyond frustrating -- it was disrespectful. So in total for these 3 trips that were made a spent over 4hrs in driving time. Out of funds that I would have never submitted if an honest assessment was given not to include all of the fees and charges that the vet charged. Another major issue has been the professionalism of the front desk and management staff. Hear me clearly when I say this: it is not just one employee. The dismissive, rude tone and lack of proper communication has been a consistent experience across multiple visits. Most recently, I entered the building, greeted the receptionist, and was completely ignored and dismissed. That was not the first time I have felt unwelcome or brushed off. I have spent thousands of dollars at this clinic over the years. I have referred fellow breeders and families I've placed puppies with because I initially believed in this practice. It is incredibly disheartening to now feel that loyalty and support have not been reciprocated with professionalism, accountability, or respect. For anyone who values customer service, reliability, transparency, attentiveness, and respectful communication -- especially breeders needing accurate OFA testing -- I cannot recommend this clinic based on my experience. I wouldn't recommend this vet to either breeders or pet families UPDATE: After posting this review, I was told I am no longer a client -- despite previously being told that leaving a review would not affect services. I had my dog retested elsewhere, and she passed OFA and PennHIP. Had I relied on their original results, it could have negatively impacted my program and cost me significantly.
