    Checkin was quick and easy, staff was very friendly and reassuring and they also kept me updated throughout the time my pup was there. At discharge they made sure after treatment care instructions were very clear and that I had no questions, they also provided all meds needed for a successful recovery. The entire process, from making an appointment to discharge was extremely seamless. I don't have a picture of the inside but it was also decorated nicely, definitely gave a warm and welcoming vibe when walking in!

    This vet office overcharged me for services I did not request such as biopsy and overcharged me for a large tumor which was a small one I would not recommend this veterinary surgery to anyone There are no different than car sales people trying to sell you s*** you don't need, they also removed a skin tag I did not authorize

    Waiting for Cleos surgery
    Stephanie S.

    Flew out here from California. Spoke to the Vet before I flew out because I needed to make sure I was making the right decision. I was quoted $8-$10,000 in California and I knew I would never be able to afford my cats kidney removal. So I started researching in different states such as Texas and Florida. I even looked into going to TJ but I wasn't comfortable with that idea. Everyone I encountered at this office is extremely nice and great communicators. When I spoke to the vet he was also very detailed and wasn't rushing me off of the phone. I felt at ease when I gave them my baby. The surgery was $1200 But I also paid for the kidney to be tested after it was removed. So I paid extra. My total for the surgery, medication and kidney testing was under $1500. I honestly thought they were going to charge me way more. I'm thankful they didn't! Like the ER I took my cat to who quoted me $250 a night but ended up charging me $750 bc they had hidden fees. I appreciate the honesty and professionalism at helping hands. I really wish they did over night stays. I trust them and if I ever know someone who needs pet care I will definitely recommend helping hands. Thank you guys

    Mazikeen (black and white) with her little sister Cynder after surgery
    Shelley D.

    Our Mazikeen broke her femur bone on the weekend before Thanksgiving. The emergency vet said she needed specialized FHO surgery and gave me a list of places to call. They were all not doing surgery because of Thanksgiving week or they were $6,000 ++ for the surgery. The vet tech told me about Helping Hands in Waterford Lakes, FL. I contacted them on Monday and Mazikeen had surgery Wednesday before Thanksgiving and they were $5,000 less for the surgery. Helping Hands may be low cost but they are not low quality. The staff is wonderful - very caring of the pets and nice to speak with. Mazikeen is doing great just 2 weeks after surgery. She is walking and starting to play with her little sister again. I highly recommend Helping Hands Veterinary Surgery and Dentistry. They saved our Mazikeen!

They go above and beyond to make both pets (and pet parents) comfortable. While a flower delivery and sympathy card weren't on our mind from the vet, that's just a single example of the thought that is behind everything they do. They truly are a class act and perfect example of compassionate service in Orlando. I send all of my friends here when they're in the market for a new vet. Not only are the doctors kind and thorough, but the techs and front desk staff are what really make the difference. They get to know you and your pet and are always rooting for your furry companions. I fully believe they are a large reason why my girls have lived so long - they do routine bloodwork and have caught so many underlying issues throughout the last 6 years between the 2 of our girls (high blood pressure, hyperthyroid, all the things you don't think of for a cat). We've shed a lot of tears in Garden Vet recently, and I want to thank the whole team for taking such good care of Darla and us. Grief is not linear, and can be absolutely overwhelming. We're still healing, but we know Darla was in the best hands.

It was so much fun paying the high and undisclosed bill at the end of every vet visit with the unfortunate receptionist who had to break the news to me that the annual visit was over $600. My new vet has not once mentioned my dog's nerves and has inversely, embraced her for it. Additionally, the vet techs always disclose every service's cost in real time. Before I get the bill. What a concept. Annual visits are below $400 now. Greed will be their downfall.

Casper, my cat, had a bad experience about 5 years ago, and ever since then, he's a menace at the vet and has always had to be put under full anesthesia. He had a really stressful experience with anesthesia at the last vet he went to, so I was pretty intense with them about him having a better experience here. They were so kind and so understanding and helpful, and they never treated me like I was being too much or inconveniencing them, which I appreciated so much. No vet since the one 5 years ago has been able to touch him without full anesthesia. I'm not sure what it was about this place, but he wasn't losing his mind, he wasn't hissing, he wasn't trying to attack, and he wanted out of his carrier. I was super nervous to let him out, but I did because he seemed to be doing okay. He explored and was OKAY! It was amazing. Then our vet tech Emily was absolutely incredible and was so kind and sweet to my baby- he can be a little rude and high strung so I really appreciated that she went the extra mile to make him feel comfortable. We didn't do a full exam, but he was letting us touch him and weigh him and everything, and then they put him under to biopsy a lump. While they were doing the biopsy, they were so good about calling me to update me as things were happening. This is my new vet for the rest of forever

From the moment we walked into 4 Paws Animal Clinic, I knew we made the right choice. Dr. Bert was amazing -- thorough, patient, and incredibly kind. She took the time to really get to know Diesel, performed a very detailed exam, and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed. That level of care meant so much to me. I also truly appreciate how calm and organized the clinic is. Not having a crowded lobby full of animals made such a difference for Diesel, who tends to get very anxious in those situations. In the past, we would have to wait in the car until called in, so this was such a refreshing experience. You can genuinely tell that everyone there cares deeply about animals and has a true passion for what they do. My only downside was the pricing of ProHeart. I've never paid more than $180 for the 12-month ProHeart injection for my 89lb dog with my previous vet in Miami, so being quoted $350 felt significantly higher than what I was used to especially he weighed less at 84lbs. That was the only surprise for me that was very unfortunate and resulted in me having to switch diesel to TriHeart. Overall, the experience, compassion, and quality of care were excellent, and we're very happy to have found them in Orlando. 5 Star Service/Quality Care 4 Star for Pricing

He usually hates going to the vet and gets anxious and trembles. The other vets used to take him to the back and give him his shots. At first he was a little anxious but they were so kind and gentle with him that he started to feel relaxed and comfortable. They also asked if we'd be ok giving him his shots in the room with us present and we were definitely fine with that. We look forward to going back and taking our little girl pug next. I highly recommend them.

    Michigan Street Animal hospital is a place that cares for animals and their owners. I have been…read morebringing my pets to this location for years. Dr Mansour has been someone I can trust to do a thorough exam and in tough times share the honest truth about my dogs condition. If you take your pets here on a regular basis, the shots are competitive to clinics offered at Walgreens and pet stores, except your pet is seen by a real Vet. They take appointments and also walk ins. My dog had a serious illness and the office was closed when he was so bad that I had to put him to sleep. Even though they did not handle this part of my pet's lifecycle, they sent me a nice sympathy card. They have their own pet's you might see while visiting the clinic. Recently I met a lady in the waiting room. She was fostering an animal for a rescue and shared how the staff had been attentive and helped her even though the charity was not understanding the animal's issues. Reasons why I recommend this Vet Clinic: 1) Years of experience 2) They will help work you in if they can the same day you contact them 3) Caring staff that have a customer and pet first attitude. They have the chart out and address you and the Pet by name. 4) In the age where you can do a lot of tests, they try to help you and obtain the tests that are necessary. When they feel additional testing is required, they present the options and possible outcomes to help you decide. I love that they take the time with each pet owner. I know another reviewer was not happy with an experience but I find that they do fact based diagnosis. I did get a new dog and before they saw her they asked that I bring any available vaccination and documentation so that we would not redo shots and they could pick the best treatment plan. If you are looking for a great Vet choose Michigan Street. It looks like a small building from the street, but it serves a staff with a big heart. They offer overnight care and surgery as well.

I'm usually able to get an appointment pretty quickly whenever my new pup has an issue, and they're pretty reasonably priced compared to the other vets I've been to since being in Florida. They will show you prices for everything prior to performing anything, and they've also given me different alternatives with different pricing if I wasn't looking to spend an arm and a leg on a procedure.

I googled and found this location which is about eight minutes away from where we live. I had walked in and asked if they could handle our emergency and if not, where could we go for an emergency. They came out to my car to quickly assess the dog and they were able to help treat my friends dog. We are so grateful that they were able to handle the emergency. They were so kind and gentle, when speaking with my friend, I know that she really appreciated that. We're also very appreciative of the other patients who I'm sure we messed their schedule up due to the emergency. Everyone in the waiting room was very kind, and a few even asked how the dog was doing. Luckily my friends dog is doing just fine and so is my friend thanks to the caring staff of this Animal Hospital

    Been repeatedly coming back because of a cat's eye ulcer that requires a serum they spin. If your…read morepet ever needs a serum, it's about $37 and takes about half an hour to make. Vaccines are $13, and an eye stain is $43. It's costly to see the vet every time, but they don't seem to care about your time and money. REMINDER TO BRING CASH/CHECKS as they charge a 3.5% fee for using a card. The front desk people are mostly fine except one girl that has a lot of attitude and is heard complaining about calls coming in. They booked an appointment that wasn't with the original vet which meant they charged for a stain that didn't even matter because the other vets wouldn't be able to tell me if her condition has improved. This is like the 5th appointment and I've been waiting for an hour as they take over 6 people in before me. This is not a review for the vet Bianca, but instead for the system and people they have employed. I'm usually very patient, but this is ridiculous and I didn't even write out all the problems I've had with them. Definitely looking for another vet.

Navigating the later stages of a senior dog's life can be incredibly emotional, and you made every step feel manageable, thoughtful, and safe. From the beginning, I felt a level of trust and comfort that meant more to me than I can put into words. As the owner of a pitbull, finding a veterinarian who treats us with compassion and without judgment has not always been easy, so the relief of feeling truly supported in your care was profound. You never rushed us, you explained things with patience, and you handled every situation with such gentleness and respect. Because of you, my dog's final years were filled with dignity and love, and I was able to face difficult decisions knowing we were in the best possible hands. You made me feel confident in every decision I made even the hardest ones. I also want to extend my gratitude to the entire staff. It was so meaningful that so many of you would pop into the room just to greet Ezra, even when you weren't working with him that day. Those small moments of kindness made us feel genuinely cared for and never forgotten, and they meant more to me than you may realize. Thank you for everything you did for him, and for me. I will always be grateful. -Selah Lloyd

I requested the person on the phone to see if there was a way given our long history with the clinic.

We were cared for by Dr. Collins and her assistant Grace, and I truly cannot say enough about their compassion. When we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put Luna down, they sat on the floor with us, comforted us, and showed so much kindness and love to our dog. They wrapped her paws in gauze with a small heart so we wouldn't have to see the IVs, and gently wrapped her in a blanket so I could hold her as she peacefully went to sleep. They never rushed us and supported us through every moment. Weeks later, we received a beautiful card with Luna's paw print and nose print, along with handwritten notes from the entire staff. It meant more than I can express. In one of the hardest moments of our lives, they treated us and our dog like family. That kind of compassion stays with you, and we will never forget it.

Each time, we were told "okay" and understood. However, we were later informed that the bed and blankets had also been cremated--without our authorization. When we went to pick up our dog's belongings, before we said anything, a staff member stated that we had requested this, which is not accurate. All we want is to receive all of our dog's cremated remains. If additional items were cremated with her, we expect all resulting ashes to be returned to us in full. This situation reflects a serious breakdown in communication and documentation, and it has been deeply upsetting for our family.
