For the past 9.5 years, my sweet girl Brooklyn has been a patient at McAbee Veterinary Hospital, and I can honestly say they have always treated her with kindness, patience, and genuine care. Over the years, we've seen quite a bit of staff turnover, but one thing has remained consistent: everyone has been incredibly warm, gentle, and loving with my fur baby. As a pet parent, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog is being cared for by people who truly love animals. My only real disappointment is that they no longer offer grooming services. Being able to drop Brooklyn off for a little doggy spa day while taking care of her veterinary needs was such a convenience, and we definitely miss that! The other challenge is the cost. Veterinary care isn't cheap, and visits can certainly add up. That said, I've always felt that the staff genuinely wants what's best for Brooklyn and has provided her with compassionate care throughout the years. Thank you, McAbee, for helping keep Brooklyn healthy and happy for nearly a decade. We appreciate all the love, belly rubs, and care you've given our girl over the years! read more

I switched my dog's vet to McAbee due to a recommendation and proximity to my home. I have been pleased with the level of service and expertise. They are very thorough with explaining any of my dog's health issues. They are patient when asked questions and show compassion as well. The main pro that I have experienced is that they don't try to hard sell you on any treatment or services. They are good about laying out my options and allowing me to make a choice on how to proceed. I don't foresee taking my dog anywhere else anytime soon. read more

McAbee Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

The gentleman up at reception super nice . We made the appointment to establish a vet and brought records of my pup . I believe the veterinary doctor we met was very young and new . However they pretty much said they would refer my dog out to a specialist. The vet did not catch his heart murmur - and basically was like can't help your pup. Then after paying the minimal visit was $80 . They sent me a email stated they would not send records over to the referral _ specificalist. Why , just seems laziness to me . I was extremely disappointed. Would not recommend this veterinary clinic . read more

What McAbee can't do, 4 Paws Animal Clinic in Winter Park can do better. Called the office as my cat was having possible urinary tract issues, which is an act fast scenario. We've taken our dog here in the past but not my cat. Was told that they didn't have any openings and wouldn't be able to fit me in since I was a new client and to take him to an emergency vet because he has a blockage and would need to have surgery immediately. My cat has had this issue before so the receptionist response sounded off as they would need to check if he's blocked first. I asked if it would be possible to fit me in even just drop him off to be seen later and was told no. Called 4 Paws as a last minute appointment and new client. They said they would be double booking but that I could drop him off to do an exam. He was in fact not blocked and they would do further exams to make sure everything was okay. Everything done within an hour. No surgery, no panic. Disappointed in the response I got from McAbee and for the person I spoke to over the phone to tell me my cat had a blockage and would need emergency surgery as a blanket statement without even seeing him is unprofessional. Had I not know better that would have put me into a huge panic. Almost felt like they were just brushing me off. read more

I used to love this office. However, over the last year, my experiences have gotten so bad, that I came here to update my review. I'm consistently disappointed in the care and communication I receive. The culture has shifted negatively quite a bit. They seem to prioritize money over animal care and I've just hit my limit. Unfortunately, we won't be returning after my most recent experience. read more

They provide my dog with the best care without ever trying to 'upsell' me. I've gone to so many vets in the past that try to upsell me on dog vitamins, flu shots, and special tests for my healthy dog. read more

I want to love this clinic because of how close it is to home, but the staff and service suck especially if you need someone to care for your pet. For instance, I called this morning to see if they could do a urinalysis on urine I collected -- the night before we went to the er vet and couldn't collect any so was advised to collect urine and take to primary vet to test for uti-- McAbee refused to run the tests unless I booked a full appointment and of course they are always fully booked. Told us to take back to the er, so okay. THEN McAbee proceeds to call my partner and leave a snarky voicemail a few hours later once they received the paperwork from the er vet. Asking how the cat was doing and if they could help at all... as if they didn't just speak to someone that morning and turned the cat away, didn't even ask how the cat was doing, so why ask on a voicemail? I jump between at-home-vet (easier on pets), the er (because it's open when everything is closed) & this place. The other clinics never give me a hard time and trust the history that comes from McAbees, but it seems every time I present McAbees with history from a different vet, they have to do a whole new evaluation and get snarky about how i went somewhere else... Its just not streamline or at your pets best interest, it just seems unhelpful and not a great relationship to have with your clinic. Maybe they are great with full lengthy appointments planned months ahead, but they aren't really there for us when our pets really need them. read more

I had an appointment hit traffic was 2 minutes away when they called me. I told them I would be there in 2-3 minutes the girl said that will put you at 15 minutes behind, we have a 15 minute policy you will have to pay an additional $40.00 for a Urgent care visit or reschedule. I found a different vet. read more

I went in for an annual rabies , boardatella . Etc Staff is Courteous , nice office but constant upselling and for $235 they did not take my dogs temperature , check his heart rate or do anything other than give him the shots. I didn't expect a full exam, but at least the basics which cost nothing and take no time. If my dog had had a problem they could have made more money treating him. !! I do not recommend read more

I've been using this Vet infrequently for the past few years. The first visit in 2021 or 2022 may have been due to needing emergency care for my cat. After expense and testing and no answers, I ended up taking her to her regular vet. It cost me more but after some testing, medication, etc. my cat recovered. Due to proximity and the other Vet clinic relocating, I decided to bring her in last year for an overall health exam and the one vaccine that was needed. Due to concern for my cat's then recent experience, I was concerned about whether she was ill and paid for the plethora of exam testing. I was satisfied with the care and results of that visit. Since the blood work is considered valid for up to 90 days, I decided to take her back this month for a tooth cleaning. During the procedure, I was called about extract 2 back teeth and a canine. I agreed to the 2 back teeth as it is impossible for me to monitor those and asked for before photos. This of course increased the price. I was shown/given the photos, however, I don't know enough to definitively say that the extraction was necessary. For now, I just have to trust that the correct action was taken. My feline recovered well. The follow-up visit was included in the charges paid so I took her back 2 weeks later. The follow-up visit went well. During the check up I learned that her gums were still a bit tender so I was told to administer more meds for a few days. The Vet took care to ask questions about Cinnamon's habits and behavior as well as answer question that I had. So far, the clinic has been pretty good with following up by either phone or e-mail. Generally, February is dental health month so there is typically a discount offered for dental services obtained in February. I believe that I received 10% off the total billed for services. Overall, the staff that I've encountered have been friendly, patient, appear knowledgeable and to care about animals. Generally, my cat only requires a trip to the Vet for vaccines and has only been to one less than a handful of times outside of this in 7 years. For now, I'm comfortable with keeping McAbee as her primary clinic for veterinary services. read more

I feel the need to update my review given the recent care. My pets have received from this facility. Apparently, Dr. Maccabee has sold this practice NVA. With the sale, the care, management, and staff response have all gone downhill. Again, my pets have been clients since 1992, so I have seen this change occur. I would not recommend bringing your pet to this business. It no longer has the caring feel, but only that of a money making machine. read more

I was recommended to this vet by the training center sit means sit Orlando and I've heard a lot of great things as well. We were looking for a new vet for our dog since Banfield wasn't really working for us anymore, truly loved this location and it was very clean, spacious and the staff was very friendly and professional. Not only was he seen right away but Doctor Vasquez was amazing !!!! She gave us tips on what would help our dog with his allergies and skin! We are very happy and will definitely continue to return. I highly highly recommend ! read more

This facility allowed me the opportunity to make a same day appointment. The wait was short and the front desk was friendly. Rooms were clean. We had one primary issue when making the appointment. We had a few others that were concerning (she had vomited and was boarded over the weekend), but I made the appointment for concerns UTI as she had had this before. This shows as a concern on her lab work but I was told her urine was fine. How did I find out? I went to a different vet for the same concern and they had the records sent and not one note states I made the appointment because she gets UTI's - Not one note on her visit stated this concern. I have a text from them before her appointment asking me to collect it myself, so I know it was clear a UTI was a reason why we were coming. Later, at a new place we get a new urine sample and she's got clots it's so bad. Now, she's on abx and finally comfortable. Maybe, they are more thorough with pets they are more familiar with and not same day appointments. We won't be one of them. I won't even go into what they came back with further testing cost after they told me the urine was neg. She was NOT asymptomatic. She did not have a negative urine. All in all, she was lethargic longer than she should have been, in pain longer, and had an infection longer, and this was a $1500 ordeal. She had a UTI. read more

They quite literally saved my cat's life. My orange cat Paris had a Urinary Blockage and his body was just filling with waste. He was pretty close to dying, and Dr. Weatherford took him in for treatment, practically bringing him back from the dead. A few days later he was back to his normal misbehaving self, with 8 lives left. The staff did everything right to put me at ease with the care for my kitty. Thank you Dr. Weatherford, thank you for saving my Paris. read more

I have been taking my dogs to McAbee for at least 12 years now and have always been happy. Their staff is friendly and accommodating, they have late evening and weekend hours, and it's a bright and clean environment. I adopted a 2nd dog in late 2105, and when I brought him into McAbee for his first visit, I expected to walk out with a $150-$200 bill. When I went to check out, they told me there was no charge. Apparently when you rescue or adopt a pet, they waive the fee for the first visit. What!?!?! Who does that!?! I was floored! What an incredible offer! Once of the receptionists said it's because 'you saved their life. it's the least we can do.' This sealed the deal for me. They are top notch, class acts. #1 in my book! I will always recommend McAbee Animal Hospital to anyone who asks. When I had to put my older dog down in 2018, the staff was super compassionate and caring. My Daisy had been going there for more than a decade and they all knew us. Beth at the first desk is amazing, ushered us into a private room, gave me hugs, and even teared up herself. A week or so after Daisy left us, I received a lovely card in the mail from McAbee staff along with a paw print of my beloved dog. Cue the waterworks! It was incredibly sad at the time, but I'm incredibly grateful for the gesture. I've seen several of the Vets and they are all fantastic. In addition to being good at their jobs, they have great bedside manner as well. Oh, also, Beth their groomer is fantastic! She listens to what you want and does a great job. She also seems to really care about your pets. Again, incredible folks running and working at this establishment and I cannot recommend them enough!! read more

We have been taking our dog to McAbee for around three years now. Everyone is always very friendly and they put up with our dog's bad attitude at the vet - lol. Everyone is very knowledgeable, from the doctors to the vet techs. They are patient when our very angry chihuahua won't let them touch her and do their best to make it the least traumatic experience possible. I never feel like they are trying to up-charge us or do unnecessary things for money, which can be an issue at other vets. Sometimes there can be a bit of a wait, but if you have an appointment it isn't usually too long. We have recommended this practice to our friends and they take both their cat and dog. They have also had a great experience! Picture of our (normally very sweet) angry dog for reference! read more

McAbee Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

We absolutely love this vet! They're extremely friendly and willing to help you out with any of your concerns for your pet. If a doctor is busy and can't answer your question over the phone, they ALWAYS call you back to make sure your questions are answered. We had some complications with our cat, and called several times in one day. They never once gave us an attitude about it and understood that our cat is literally a child to us. You could call them in hysterics and they'll calm you down and reassure you - like what happened to us when we had to go to the emergency hospital on the weekend, and they pointed out the best place to take our cat to. They treat your furchild as if it were their own. They have gone out of their way a couple of times to make sure our cat got the proper care he needed. They're absolutely phenomenal! read more

We've been taking our pets to MCAbee for over 20 years. Our sweet kitty was lovingly cared for by Dr. Jones for most of her 23 years until she passed. We now have a 3 year old dog who is the light of our lives. Dr. Jones has since retired and we miss her, but wish her well. On a recent visit with our pup for some allergy issues, we were seen by Dr. Vasquez. What a pleasant and very thorough exam we had. While our big girl is not the most cooperative patient, Dr. Vasquez was patient and kind and especially knowledgeable on how to best manage our girl's allergies. We're very grateful to this practice for ALL of the years of kindness and compassion expressed toward our pets. Thank you! read more

Sadly, I had a horrible experience at McAbee with my 6 year old Beagle Lucy. I will keep this review short and to the point. This is very difficult to relive. We were new to this clinic and I informed Dr. West and Dr. Palumbo of her reoccurring Pancreatitis and Kidney issues. Lucy had a hard belly and lost her appetite on October 16th so I know it was back and immediately took her to McAbee. I told Dr. West about the Pancreatitis and she told me this is not the issue. She said it was her spine that is giving her pain and discomfort. I was concerned Dr. West wasn't listening to me and the history, but she is the professional..right? Her treatment plan was IV fluids, Morphine and rest. 3 days later Lucy got worse and couldn't even walk anymore. They gave me a $1,061 bill and told me to put her down as there is nothing they can do for her anymore. I was horrified and disgusted with it all. I then took her to UF in Gainesville who immediately diagnosed her with Pancreatitis and they even told me the Morphine that was given to Lucy made her GI tract even worse causing her even more pain and discomfort. Since her Pancreatitis and Kidney levels were so severe and she would need 2-3 weeks of hospitalization at UF we decided to put her down and out of all this pain. I wish I would have taken her to UF first and never to McAbee. I called McAbee days later to tell them UF diagnosed her with severe Pancreatitis and I would like some sort of refund for her 3 days of wasted time at their clinic. They ran multiple bloodwork all in 1-2 days without even asking me or even calling me with any results. I received a call from Scott McAbee would told me he stands behind Dr. West and disagrees with UF's diagnoses. He then rudely said "I am not refunding you anything". He showed no respect or concern at all for Lucy's passing and my horrible experience at his clinic. If I would have taken Lucy to UF from the start maybe she would have had a fighting chance. I hope no one experiences what I had to go through with this clinic. Please remember to always get a second opinion with you fur babies. I will mourn and miss Lucy forever. Shame on you McAbee!!! Shame on you!!! read more

I've been going to Dr. S. McAbee for 12 years. I drive 45 mins to see him and will not go anyplace else. Dr. McAbee is amazing - he caught my dogs (rare) cancer in the early stage . When I took my dog to UF Small Animal Hospital Oncology, they were shocked /impressed because most vets / owners do not catch prostate cancer until it has spread (my dog was fixed as a puppy - treating dog prostate cancer is different than men). Dr. McAbee and UF oncology gave me 6 more months with my baby and I will never forget that. There is one lady upfront that I find short and rude but the rest of the staff is friendly. Dr. P and Dr. Braun are also great! If you have to stay goodbye to your fur baby, I recommend Lap of Love which is a vet that comes to your home to put your baby to rest. They are very caring and will review medical records /consult your regular vet if need be... I got a private cremation. read more

McAbee Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I don't know what has happened with this vet but it is not the same as it used to be. McAbee use to care about the pets but now there is no compassion and they don't care. Dr McAbee is evidently not here anymore and it shows. I have been bringing my pets to this hospital for 20 years but no more. I will immediately be looking for a new veterinarian and I can tell anyone who is looking for a good vet to look elsewhere because the 4.7 star review that is there now is only because of the high ratings when McAbee was still actively working here. This hospital is Corporate now and has lost the great team of doctors they use to have and are evidently short with help. No thank you! read more

This vet was such a relief to go to after going to Banfield pet hospital. They are so nice and so good with the animals. Most vets usually muzzle my dog because she gets nervous. But everyone at Mcabee was so patient and calm and they didn't even muzzle her. Their disposition actually affected her and she acted much calmer. Their prices are very reasonable. They actually answer the phone when you call unlike Banfield. And they seem more knowledgeable. I will definitely be taking my dog here to see Dr. Imbriale from now on. read more

Had Scott McAbee for my cats since he took over from his dad (had his dad before that). Then, he just 'disappeared' - with my cat who is old and going through a lot of medical issues. Was 'accidentally' hooked up with another long-standing vet who was just now recently 'let go' after decades. In neither case was I advised or told who would be taking over care of my cat. I don't care what upheaval they are experiencing since McAbee sold the practice 3-4 years ago, they are letting down their long-time clientele. NVA is the new owner, and not sure what is happening to this practice, but it doesn't look good from my perspective. read more

Updated: Sadly disappointed. I took my puppy at 8 weeks old to establish care with a vet at this office. I brought shot records and we discussed the vaccination schedule. I was told to return at 11 weeks to receive the DA2PP#2 and Bordetella vaccines. I returned for the appointment at 11 weeks and was given completely different information that from my first visit, I'm not even sure how they made this mistake. We discussed the shot records in detail during the first visit and I was given a quote for the return visit. Now my pups vaccine schedule is all off because of their error. This could have been prevented during the first visit according to them at the second visit. I don't even know what to believe anymore. Overall, I'm disappointed because they've lost my trust in their ability to provide care for my puppy. If I can't trust them with a vaccine schedule, how could I trust them to continue to provide care for my dogs health? Am I always going to be misinformed and have to question everything? It's just not worth it. The staff is friendly and the facility is clean. Just can't trust them sadly. read more

Stay as far away from this vet hospital as you can!! My family and I have been bringing our dogs to them for the past 18 years and they were amazing up until Doctor Scott McAbee left and sold the business to other people. For about the past 4 years they have been disgusting to us and our beloved late 17 year old Westie and our newest member of 2 years, every time we have visited. We have put up with them being incompetent, rude, and careless in hopes that they would get better but no matter who they have staffed we have come to sad terms with that the apples on the tree are rotten due to the root of the tree. In other words the nasty management and doctors. All they care about is squeezing as much money out of you as they can with no answers to anything regarding your pets health. PLEASE TRUST ME ON THIS AND GO ELSEWHERE! You DO NOT want your pets life, healthcare, and wellbeing to be in the hands of these people because they have no regard to your pets life or helping them or you. read more

I have been going Here since twenty sixteen when One of my dogs had to have spinal surgery. Doctor Jones took very good care of my sasha. However in the time frame we got a new dog in 2019. Leo who was sickly had stomach issues so I would take him often about his stomach. This past weekend. I called in because my Leo was having stomach issues again. And this time it was pretty bad and I called to speak to the office manager because I did not have the money to pay for The Visit and I wanted. To see about a payment plan since I had been coming there for so long. And knew of others that they had worked with before along with the receptionist tell me that it was the discretion of the office manager. They told me to leave a message for the office manager who I have yet. To hear back from Till this day within that time frame. My baby passed away and I'm so disappointed in McAfee veteran hospital because now I feel like a number to them versus a loyal customer with my. Fur babies I even moved. An hour away and yet I would still drive my dogs. All the way out to this particular pet hospital because I felt comfortable with the doctors and do not have the office manager return my voicemail that I left. Her it's an insult and now I feel like a number to them. And my baby is gone that could have been saved read more

I have been to so many vets since moving to Orlando from NYC and I can honestly say I've never met a nicer staff in all my 12 years of being a pet owner. My family and I practice holistic medicine and in most western veterinary clinics, that is really looked down upon. I have a 14 yo maltese name Moe, and he has so many health issues, the list would be shorter if I told you what wasn't wrong with him. Every time I come to McAbee's for any kind of testing or advice, they never make me feel like a terrible owner for Moe's conditions. It's nice to go somewhere where you aren't judged for caring for your pet in a non-traditional way. My little old man is currently going through kidney failure on top of having a tumor and skin allergies. Dr. Jones never once made me feel pressured to put him on any medications I wasn't comfortable with. I am very grateful to have found this clinic for Moey. Thank you to all the staff who have helped Moe and I through this difficult journey. read more
