So today I took my dog Ruby in for her annual checkup and could not have been happier with how I and my dog were treated. It was just like it had been for all those years before! From the wonderful young lady at the reception desk, Lani, to Bobby the vet tech, to Dr. Espinola...they once again made me feel valued and appreciated. Thank you so much!

On one occasion in particular I brought my daughter's Caledonian Crested gecko in. She was in bad shape. The dr and assistant carefully looked her over and diagnosed the problem, a calcium deficiency. They said they could X-ray her and perform tests, but the expense was unnecessary. They're not motivated by greed like many other veterinarians. They sold me a supplement for about $15 to feed her to try and bring her around. They said unfortunately she may not make it. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. They said it's typical for geckos to seem completely fine, but once they show symptoms of sickness they're usually too far gone to recover. My daughter was so distraught, and they were so kind in trying to comfort her. The next day they called to see how our Gecko was doing and asked if I had any concerns. The gecko got much better at first, but passed away within a month. It was sad, but we had the comfort of knowing we did all we could for her. Thanks to the caring staff at Pine Ridge animal hospital. They genuinely care for the animals.

Everyone was so friendly and kept us informed every step of the way. After surgery, my cat is back to normal and living his best life.

Dr. Freyman is a one man , no thrills, no nonsense vet…read more If you want new, clean, modern, the latest gadgets, you will be disappointed here, not even a regular pet scale or chip reader in the office. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect waiting at the clinic looking around to be seen. Everything was old, dirty, dingy, lack of decor... but the care and expertise of the Dr. over weighed the old school office and aesthetics. His office is very old and could use a good clean up and some paint for sure from somebody, (just stating the obvious), and were my only concerns walking in. Dr. Freyman and his receptionist seemed to really care and take the time to know you and your pet, which most important to me in the end. My cat had an infection that wouldn't go away on his back, and we finally took him to a vet to see why not going away after months of home healing. He took an x-ray to make sure it wasn't something imbedded or more serious going on. He gave the right antibiotics to treat this fast, and if any issues to call back. His rates seemed a bit high (I had a bit of sticker shock) BUT Dr. Freyman took the time needed to answer all my questions, and we got to stay in the room for treatment, and was seen quickly. There was no itemized bill for my records, just his figures in his head. Normally that is given at check out, but they do not do that here. All in all, if you can accept an old school, no nonsense vet, the billing procedures, he's the man. He was genuinely interested in the health of my cat and will make him my permanent vet, but now knowing will request the itemized bill at the end of the visit when paying. I am hoping Dr. Freyman will read this and take the constructive criticism to heart... hire a cleaner and handyman and get the place up to par with the rest out there, and his practice would be golden.

So we also got our 11 year old on flea and tick medicine at that time. He was very cold towards my husband and I. We had an emergency again. Katie was screaming in pain and needed attention like right now. We called again on Saturday morning to see if we could get her in. They blew us off and said we could book an appointment on Wednesday the 1st of April. So we made that appt. Sunday at 3:30 she again woke us up with screams of pain. So we took her to the hospital.

My dog has had several owners most of which passed away. His vaccine records have been lost though having moved so much. They didn't tell me at the registering visit that it's mandatory for him to have an updated rabies shot and blood work before performing the neuter. They quoted over $500 and minimum 2 office visits before neuter. Needless to say I found another clinic to do perform the procedure for $245 and they administer a rabies shot free of charge. They also did not respect the appointment time, but if i arrived late they would take my appointment window and give it to the next patient. The tech saw my dog really wanted to be greeted when she came in and she ignored him until she was ready to acknowledge him. This clinic is not very cost effective, and I don't think I will be bringing my dog back.

I was immediately seated in an exam room. I was not a fan that I couldn't be with my rabbit during his exam with the doctor. However as my appointment went on I became very impressed with this clinic. Doctor Baker was understanding, patient, and very knowledgeable about rabbits. She explained the health concerns and her plan for care. I felt like she was very compassionate and really cared about helping Pepper. It's never fun to see a vet bill, but thankfully the pricing seemed reasonable. I wish that blood work however was offered at a more affordable price point. I was there for almost 2 1/2 hours while they helped my rabbit. It was a very positive experience and Pepper seems to be improving. I am thankful I found this animal hospital when I did.

I kept asking for the vet because this is not how it goes. My poor baby suffered so bad for the last 10 minutes of her life. When he came back in with the vet my poor suffering baby tried to get under my husband's legs but all she could do was move her head but he came over and pinned her head to the floor while the vet came in and killed her. My poor baby suffered so badly the last 10 minutes of her life because this guy who calls himself a nurse tortured her. He tortured her. He had his hands around her throat as he was pinning her head down. She was tortured to death instead of peacefully leaving this earth. If you want your pet last minutes of life to be tortured go there. The guy who thinks he is a nurse at a vet specializes in torturing your pet.

This was my first time fostering and it was on a Saturday morning that I saw some puppies needed a foster, so I did not have any pet supplies at home on hand the same day.

After two weeks they were much bigger and ready to be adopted! I returned them back to Susan at the shelter and I was so happy I did it and plan to foster again. They are a fantastic organization and I highly recommend going to the Orlando Pet Alliance if you are looking to adopt a dog or cat.

I am extremely disappointed with the scheduling process at Pet Alliance Sanford…read more This is now the second time I have attempted to get my cat seen for treatment. The first time, I scheduled an appointment and never received approval until I physically showed up at the facility. At that point, I was told I would need to wait approximately 45 minutes. Unfortunately, I had arranged my day around the appointment time and could not stay because of my work and travel schedule. I then rescheduled for another date, only to find out that the clinic is closed on Wednesdays even though the scheduling system allowed me to book an appointment for that day. This created another unnecessary delay in getting treatment for my cat, who has been dealing with fleas and needs care. As a pet owner, I understand that things happen, but the scheduling system should not allow appointments to be booked when the clinic is closed, and appointments should be reviewed and confirmed in a timely manner. I've now spent months trying to get my cat the care he needs and have experienced nothing but scheduling issues and delays. I hope management addresses these problems so other pet owners do not have to go through the same frustration.

We went to Cornerstone vet after the mobile vet we called told us our cat had diabetes and they…read morecould not handle the followup needed. Our other vet did not tell us anything about the bloodwork; basically scared us by telling us we would have to give two shots per day or our cat would be in a diabetic coma. The place is in a shopping center (same as senor tequila in winter springs); it was clean and has two entrances, one for dogs and one for cats. They even had a separate exam room just for cats! The room we were in was very nice and comfortable, also. This vet had a completely different take on the bloodwork: that when cats are stressed, the blood sugar goes up; that since our kitty had allergies recently (she asked us), the creatine levels could be high; that the bloodwork did not show diabetes but rather could be signs of kidney disease instead; and that it's unusual for a cat to start having diabetes at such an advanced age. To make a long story short, the vet spent a lot of time with us explaining the bloodwork results the other vet had done and what they could really mean instead; made the recommendation that we get new bloodwork in a few weeks; and NOT to change anything in his diet or life at this time as he seemed to be a happy cat. At the end, the price was so much less than the mobile vet ($50). We were so relieved and grateful for the great advice and knowledge that the vet had (sorry I cannot remember her name). Cornerstone, 5 stars for you!
