WOW what an amazing Vet Dr. Kris Kane is as she caught a serious condition that our normal vet had been missing. She listen to our concerns and diagnosis our Gracie with a serious heart condition all by simply taking the time and talking to us about her symptoms. She knew the problem before she even listened to Gracie's heart. She is worth the trip no matter where you are located. Our Gracie is now living her best life comfortably until her final days all thanks to Dr. Kane. I don't live in Florida and I'm not a snow bird but have family in Jacksonville which is how I met Dr. Kane. If our Gracie needs surgery in the future we will travel to Florida as she cares thru lay about the animals entrusted into her care. Thank You Dr. Kane and Oceanview Veterinary Hospital Florida! read more

This place is the best!!!!!! We started coming here as soon as I got my dog in December 2024. We came here with an 8 week old puppy and she is now a little bit over 1 and every visit has been so incredibly smooth. She just got her spay surgery and everyone in the office is so delightful to speak to and I couldn't recommend this place more. Every time I call they pick up and they always want to help. read more

I've been taking my pets here for roughly 15 years. The service is always beyond amazing. I know that my fur babies will be treated with kindness and as if they were a member of the vet staff family! All of the employees are kind, compassionate and eager to help. In 2020 I had to put down my Pup of 15 years, the staff cried with me. Just recently I had to take in my fatcat they helped me get in same day, checked her out, helped her, all with love! Today Dr Kane called to checkup on fatcat - seriously that's compassionate!! Fortunately fatcat is all better, but I know Oceanview and Dr Kane will be there if I need them ! Treat your fur babies and yourself to the best care possible!! read more

I had my two large Golden Retrievers going here from 2022-2024 when we lived in FL. They're very thorough and caring. Typically got you in for services within the same week. My girls loved going and loved the staff so that says a lot about them. At one point I was taking one of my dogs there every month for anal gland expression which was exhausting for all parties involved but we survived and the staff was great about it. read more

If vets make your big dog hostile this review is for you. My dog is 60 lbs and is aggressive when it comes to the vet. Lots of past vet trauma for him. Will not easily let anyone touch him with foreign objects so even listening to him heartbeat is a challenge. Give him a shot and he'll try to bite. Dr Nicks and The Team were very patient with him and were very gentle in their approach, helping to rehab my pups fear of vets. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and affordable. 10/10 would recommend read more

I brought my dog to Oceanview unexpectedly after moving to the beaches from the west side. I wasn't expecting to need a vet for awhile but when my Australian Shepherd, Juno, got really sick and started having puss on her paws and a red and irritated mouth I had to bring her somewhere. The staff were so amazing and friendly. They were also so kind to me, knowing that I was looking for care but without much money to spend. They let me know each step of the way what was going on and got my consent for care, notifying me of the price for services with kindness and patience. They were so sweet to my girl and the vet even brought her in a stick with peanut butter after I mentioned she loves it. We are happy to have a new vet to rely on in our new home! read more

Amazing vet, wonderful staff. My dog has a bad heart murmur and we went here based on recommendation and are super happy. Not only has the staff and doctors been amazing and friendly as well as helpful, but they make everything easy. They have a mobile app, text check in, and are always available (via the app or phone). Definitely recommend. We see Dr Kane and she has been great- knowledgeable and helpful. Even arranged for a cardiologist to come to the office for my dog. read more

My dogs love Dr Kane and Oceanview! The office is bright when you walk in and someone is always manning the front making sure in and out traffic making sure all the pups and kittens are safe.

I lost my cat, Percy, this week after having him for over 14 years and it has been a difficult time. I can't say enough about Oceanview and the help and compassion they showed through this last week. Dr. Kane has taken care of my cats for their entire life, and I got to meet Dr. McAlpin in this last week when Percy got ill. She was terrific in helping me understand the problem and assuring me I would have her guidance with handling Percy's last days. All of the staff were so great and really helpful. Thank you all for all that you do! read more

Dr. Kane is the best! Our cats are our babies and she treats them like they are her own. She always greets us with a warm smile and has the best temperament for shy pets. She always goes above and beyond with their preventive care and getting us setup for the next visit. We are so grateful to have her as our vet! read more

In addition to a rude front office staff, and a doctor with no empathy or kindness, they run tests which are not necessary, and do not disclose the cost of these tests prior to doing them. The doctor's belligerent manner and uncaring attitude was the final straw for me. There are so many other vets out there, there is no reason to put up with verbal and emotional abuse from this one. And here is what you really need to think about - if they treat me like this, what abuse do my pets suffer when they are out of my sight?! read more

I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Natalie Hashey, Betsy and the entire staff for their compassion and support. Unfortunately, I had to have my feline friend put to sleep. The concern and compassion shown toward Catus and my wife, and I was a comfort. read more

I have a 100+ pound German shepherd who is as sensitive as they come, and they love him so well! We don't fear going to the vet anymore because of how well they handle him and allow him to settle in. I nearly cried after our first visit because of how kind they were. Definitely recommend to anyone with a bigger dog who's ever been judged or had their dog mishandled out of fear. read more

This was the best Veterinary clinic I have ever been to. I have recently just moved to California and still looking for an experience like I had here. Elsa, the front office lady, always remembered my kitties and I just after my first visit to their office. It was always refreshing to speak to her on the phone, regardless of if it was scheduling or I had a concern, and getting an appointment was never difficult. They are also one of the only offices in Jacksonville that provides cat declaw with the laser and the doctors are incredible. Dr. Kane treated both of my cats for over two years. She would call me a few days after their visits to check in on them and make sure they were okay after a shot or procedure. She also never forced anything on me, she understood that I was just a student and couldn't afford unnecessary expenses. Moreover, she understands the animal. One of my cats cannot handle having her temperature taken or anything else via anal, Dr. Kane took note and instead of putting her through trauma everytime she would just give her the deworm pill or go a different route. I truly miss this office and the sweet voices on the other end of the line when I call. You cannot go wrong here. read more

I received the most fortunate referral from my sister to Oceanview Veterinary Hospital after a two day 22 hour road trip that left my dog without an appetite and dehydrated. I called to make an appt while on the road and was treated with the utmost customer care from the staff. Today, in addition to meeting Taylor an exceptional vet tech who took my dog into her appt, I met face to face (masked of course) with Dr. Kane to discuss the situation and provide suggestions for today and ongoing care. Thank you Oceanview folks!! read more

Such great service and care for my fur buddy. The doctors follow up to check in after the visit, and the staff is very friendly.

10/10 for both vet and boarding/day care services. We just moved to the area so we needed a new vet and boarding place, Prince is very high energy and is a ball of crazy so I'm always nervous to go to new places. What made it more nerves wrecking is with covid, you can't go in with your pet...luckily it seemed like he did better this way, but I was a nervous wreck the whole time bc I know how he can be with vet visits...They took great care of him not only during his vet visit but also during boarding. I got a photo update during his stay, as well as they have an app where you can chat them if you have any concerns, or in my case needed to board him 1 extra night last minute. Very accommodating and Prince seemed to enjoy himself! We will definitely be back :) any dog staying 3 or more nights require a bath & nail trimming before going home (at your expense.) He needed a bath though so I didn't mind. He ran out of food on the last day so they didn't feed him breakfast (I thought they'd just give him food they have there vs. not feeding him at all, I did find that odd.) overall, definitely recommend. read more

Amazing vet hospital with awesome staff! Dr.Sander, she's amazing and so caring! She called me and answered all my questions and we came up with a good plan for my little guy. I'm happy, and they're prices are reasonable and good! I was told this place is great, and they are...I'm not going anywhere else. :) read more

Just got finished at our appointment. Being a transient and always on the road, finding a good vet can be challenging. However, when i found that my little guy was having skin issues, I searched and found Oceanview. When we got there, we had a warm greeting by Elsa. In fact, everyone who works there is really friendly and sweet. The doctor explained what's going on with my little guy and I left with antibiotics and shampoo. Also, the office itself is lovely. read more

I would not trust this place with my pets!! They were very rough with my little dog and showed no compassion for her. Very disappointed in this clinic! I have tried to give this place so many chances as it has great reviews and some very friendly staff. But some staff is incredibly rude and doesn't seem at all concerned about my pet. Ive spent hundreds of dollars for my dog to be examined multiple times for a simple rash and when my dog isn't any better they have no concern about trying to get her in to be looked at or for her wellbeing. We still can't go in the offices with our pets because of COVID so they sacrifice the quality of the care to do so? I will be changing vets I'm done with this place only caring about money and not the animals. read more

I had a senior dog when we moved here a little over a year ago and these vets and their staff were nothing short of extraordinary. It's obvious they truly love what they do. They dont try to nickel and dime you to death, are respectful of your budget and were with me every step of the day during my lab's final days. I couldnt have asked for better support. I highly recommend them! read more

They are very thoughtful and clearly love animals. My golden, Amelia, gets plenty of TLC when we take her to get puppy shots. Prices are good. Always send reminder emails of appts. read more

Dr Sanders and the staff are very caring and provide excellent care for our huskies. We reconnected with Dr Sanders in the past year when we moved to the Beaches area. She remembered Chewie as if it had been yesterday, when in reality it had been several years. We highly recommend Oceanview. read more

Dr. Johnson at Oceanview saved my ( Lab Mix- Leah) bay's life. Leah had a huge mass on her spleen. I had brought her in because she was fine one day, lethargic, then next, then fine. The mass on her spleen was causing her to be anemic. Found the mass on Wednesday, operated on Friday and I had my spunky dog back ! She is 12 and has lots of good years left in her. Just ask her she (Leah) will tell you! When she meets someone or sees someone she knows, she tells you all about it. Thanks Oceanview! read more

After not being happy with the local vets around the northside I went into research mode to find one i think would give us better care and recommendations for our dogs. Came across OVH and gave it a try after needing 2nd and 3rd opinions on our dog's leg that he was having trouble with. Barely being able to lift himself off the floor and not being able to be active I knew something serious was wrong. The other vets around the northside kind of brushed it off saying it wasn't so serious or giving us meds and telling us to wait it out. I had a feeling it was his ACL that he tore after some research. Turns out when I took Reagan here they also confirmed it was his ACL and recommended we get it repaired at Affiliated Veterinary Specialists on the Southside. I would definitely come back here even if it's a drive for me as it's well worth the piece of mind. read more

All I can say is I second what Alexandra D. said! This is a wonderful operation, and Dr. Knapke is top notch. I started with them about 11 months ago with my oldest kitty. They have one of two different laser machines that are used for a variety of purposes. My kitty has severe arthritis, and the laser helps manage her aches and pains. Now Dr. K. is managing the deafness and subsequent issues brought on by the incompetence of another clinic. He's saved the life of my poor girl, and I cannot thank him enough for working as diligently as he has to help her tolerate this latest setback. Everyone there is great, and I cannot thank them all enough! read more

I highly recommend this Veterinarian Hospital. I board my dog here often. She is not nervous at all going in, and when I pick her up, she is clean and happy. The staff is so sweet to her that I don't worry at all while I'm away. I trust them completely! Also, as a person on a budget, they have proved to be helpful and understanding in getting the best care for my dog in an economical way. read more

We have had 2 of our cats going there since around 2010. We went there after researching . Dr Wayne Knapke was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. Unfortunately that legacy died with him. We have continued going there and that stopped today. Here's why: About 8 months ago we took our 10-11( rescued from humane society so age is roughly this age ) year old baby boy in because he was drinking a lot of water and always seemed thirsty and started to become weak and didn't seem himself. We took him in to get seen and he was diagnosed with diabetes. We changed his diet and started him on insulin. It seemed to help and he became active again and things were great. Well we then noticed that he started to lose weight. He was still drinking water like crazy and he became hungry all the time. Now its Sunday January 14th and he stopped eating. We were always told that he needed to eat to have his insulin. So Monday morning comes and he still doesn't want to eat and he's very weak and limp. We called to see if we could get him in. We took him in and we found out that he had an infection plus his sugar was in the 500's, which seemed to be the answer anytime we asked about his sugar. We were told that he needed to be on an iv and needed antibiotics. We were told that he should be fine after that. I received a call letting me know his progress and was told that they were excited for us to see him because he was getting better but when my husband went to pick him up at 530 on Monday, he was worse than when we took him in. He still wasn't eating and wasn't drinking water. Instead he was so thirsty that he would just stick his head in the water. He was acting like he was drugged. We were just told that he was on fluids and antibiotics. Never did they say they used any drug and if there were any side effects we should look for. He was to return Tuesday January 15th for more fluids. I dropped him off again at 8am. I would call and check on him and was told that he was doing better and was moving his head around. Well at 2pm they call my husband and tell him that he has taken a turn for the worse but they wanted to keep him till 530 to push fluids. As his mother, I left work to come pick up my boy. The Dr. said that she wanted to keep him till 530 for more fluids. I asked her, would the 2 more hours of fluid really do anything for him? She said honestly, no. So they gave me some pain meds to make him comfortable for him to pass at home. Well last night was a rough night. He was moving a lot from discomfort and had some horrible cries. We gave him his last pain meds this morning, January 18th. We called the vet at 815, knowing they opened at 8. I figured 15 mins was enough time for them to be ready for calls. I was told that I needed to bare with them because they just opened. I asked to talk to the Dr and was told they don't come in till 9am. I said fine have her call me. Well its now 915am and no call. So I called a second time. I was told that the message was put on the white board for both dr's. It was for them to call us back in regards to our baby boy, which they never called to check on him. The clerk checked and said the color changed which means the Dr saw the note but instead of calling us, she saw a patient. The patient was a dog with a limp who needed xrays. This patient was going to still be alive if she had taken a small amount of time to call us about our baby. To us Its like saying our dying baby was not a high concern. I was told that the dr would call me back maybe during the xrays or after shes done with the patient. I was irate. I researched real quick and found another dr. We immediately called and they got him in at 945 am Thursday January 18th. We were told by the new clinic that he should have NEVER been off his insulin regardless of him eating or not. We feel that the new clinic is very caring to our loved ones. You can feel the calm caring environment. It's not always busy like an Aspen Dental because thats what Oceanview Veterinary Hospital became when Dr. Knapke passed away. We feel that the compassion is no longer there. Please make sure you get a second opinion before listening to what this hospital has to say. We may have lost our baby boy because of the lack of education this location has. We will no longer be coming to this location and we will be sharing our story with everyone. All these posts are positive, Hard to comprehend that. read more

Both Drs. Kane and Johnson are remarkable at what they do. Their talent combined with an entire staff who understand veterinary medicine as well as the "people" part of the business allows this practice to thrive. Not only does this team take pride in their work, but they always make me feel like a part of the family. We recently came close to losing the life of our 8 month old Cavie, he had eaten a Sago Palm seed. Because of the knowledge, care and efforts of the Oceanview team, we brought "Nashville" home, wagging his tail 3 days later. read more

This is such a great animal hospital. The staff is very friendly. They understand that these our your "babies". They keep you informed and updated throughout any procedure. They are great with appointments, I am always in and out on time. I wouldn't take our animals anywhere else! read more

I've been going to Oceanview Veterinary with my 'furkids' for many years. Having suddenly lost Oceanview's founder, Dr. Knapke several years ago due to his untimely passing it was difficult to know where to turn to. Dr's. Johnson and Kane fortunately have been able to take his place. Both are doing a fine job in providing excellent veterinary care to my 'furkids' now. There is also a special person that needs to be mentioned and that is Oceanview's office manager Elsa. Her care and attention throughout the years in both good times and bad have been most important to me. read more

The staff were so kind when I brought in a kitty that had passed away after being hit by a car on Beach Blvd. They scanned it for a microchip and shared in my sadness for the little guy. If I had a pet I would definitely bring them here for care. Very clean facility and genuinely kind staff. read more
