Dr.Rivera is a true gem! Since moving to FL, for the last 2 years I’ve been coming here. Everyone is great. I’ve been to 2 of their locations. They are always attentive to all 3 of my fur babies. Vet visits can be expensive but they are always willing to accommodate you. 10/10 would recommend

Unless you have lots of money, don't bother to go to this place. They are deceptive about the exorbitant charges and fees they have. If you use Care Credit they will limit the payments to 6 months and charge a processing fee, in my case an extra $220 for the privilege of using your card, and also your bank card, or Zelle -- except for "cash." Their fees are extraordinarily high for their services, as for a 3 lb dog for all essential purposes being spayed they charged over $6,000!!

closed on Monday but hours say it's open; nice staff but a little pricey. They have been changing location(s) and it wasn't clear online. I imagine I'm not the only one confused by the change.

Treatment here was very good and diagnosis was spot on. I was given an initial estimate of 957.00 for exam, X-rays and blood work to start. Then presented estimate of 8, 510.00 for abdominal surgery to remove obstructions. I paid the bill of 997.00 and I left. This place also charges 3 percent credit card fee. labs come from an IDEXX machine and there's lots of hidden added costs for what should be very simple. I contacted a non profit agency called Helping Hands and had this surgery for 1,765.00. LET that that sink in. This place is an ultimate rip off. They are truly in the business to make money. Wait till they move into their new building.....all of those overhead costs will pass directly to the customer. Care was good for the two hours I was there and I spent 1,000.00. This place is just over the top with their price gauging and lack of common sense. Such as wanting my dog to stay for three days hooked up to an IV with injectable pain meds and not offering in alternatives. My dog, a 14.5 year old Labrador went home from Helping Hands walking out the door the first day right after recovery. I was given super instructions, and lots of oral meds. she ate a light, soft meal that night and she's back to normal ($$$$1,765.00). This includes her follow up visit for suture removal and all medications (5 total). And for all these recent posts where folks say the exam fee is 125.00 and you thought that was a lot, that price is now 150.00. 8,510.00 + 997.00 at Oviedo emergency 1,765.00 at Helping Hands - they were truly awesome here. ****chloes had this same surgery 10 years ago and the cost was 1400 but it was only exploratory. Helping Hands had to go in the intestines in two places to remove obstruction and also in the stomach. three different cuts. Truly can't say enough about this place. complete blood count (CBC) is about 55.00 they charge 95.00 Chemistry 17 which should include electrolytes (since its the same machine) about 125.00- they charge 165.00 x-rays- over the top..... post op 3 days with an IV - DO THEY EVEN KEEP HUMANS THREE DAYS AFTER SURGERY?

Last year my cat got outside and ate clover weed which is extremely toxic to cats, I thought my baby would die after only two weeks of owning her, the staff at this clinic saved my fur baby's life and I'm forever grateful and thankful to them

Came here for our dog Sunny. They are so friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. They were so loving and caring to our dog and explained prices, procedures, and answered our questions. I highly recommend it. We live an hour away but will be bringing our dog here for his visits.The building is clean, quiet (for the most part), and easy to find.Thank you to the Oviedo Veterinary staff!!

One of our cats was showing signs of a possible kidney issue or crystals so we took her to this vet-we were able to get a same day appointment on a Sunday. Our vet tech, Sean, was really sweet and so gentle with our cat. Normally she is very aggressive at the vets (which we informed them about beforehand) as it's a stressful environment but Sean took her to an unused suite to destress her before they started taking samples. She was perfectly calm and happy and Dr. Fernanda was the first vet she was calm around. Dr. Fernanda and Sean were incredibly sweet and took really great care of our cat Esmeralda!

I had been taking my dog here because I liked that they had an ER with access to my dog health records. Everyone was great, and understood that I love my dog. They worked with me to take care of her within my budget until I had to deal with Dr Rivera. Dr Rivera refused to help me when I had questions about the medication her office approved. She also prescribed my dog painkillers meant as sedatives for humans. My dog had not shown any signs of pain with her current treatment. I don't trust her. My dog doesn't trust her. She had an air of ineptitude, and seems in it more for the money, than the well being of the animals.

So, I have a dog who has pancreatitis, so I’ve been to the emergency side of this practice several times. I started coming here mostly because I heard of you go to their regular practice, your emergency visits are cheaper. I’m so glad my cheapness led me to this great place!My husband brought my dog for her first visit, so I don’t know much about that one. But I went last week because Sassy, my pancreatitis queen, had been having diarrhea for a couple of days. I have known for probably a year now that she won’t be around for long, so I never know if the next visit will be when we need to put her down. From the second I walked through the door, I felt like this office would do right by my sweet Sassy. The receptionist, Kate, was friendly and attentive and got me into a room right away. Then the tech, Shawn, came in and discussed what had been happening with Sassy. He asked so many insightful questions that I actually thought he was the doctor! Then Dr. Rivera and another doctor (might have been shadowing or training with her), Dr. Brue came in. They just plopped down onto the floor and played with Sassy while they went through her whole history. It felt very nice and disarming for me. Like I was chatting with a friend. They were all so understanding and nonjudgmental. In the end, Sassy most likely has mammary cancer as well. But Dr. Rivera said she still is very lively, so she thought it would be fine to take her home and let her enjoy the time she has left.Two things I didn’t mention: it was also VERY easy to get an appointment, and I know everyone’s names because I asked for them knowing I would want to leave a review.

Terrible billing practices. I had a poor experience on a second (unnecessary) visit in January 2022. I consented to xrays for my cat, because they told me xrays had not been done. They found them, and took additional xrays anyway. I was furious and walked out. At that time I spoke to the office manager who assured me the the 'bill' would be taken care of. There was no follow up call and no bill was ever sent to me, BUT they sent me to collections. I filed a complaint with e the BBB, but guess what? They aren't a member! That should tell you something. Avoid this place and their less than charming manager Lauren.

Giving a shout out for the excellent care the doctors & staff gave my 100 lb rescue dog Sal. He was boarding at Happy Paws in Oviedo & they notice he wasn't feeling well. I was in NY helping family out & they called me asking if they could take him to Oviedo Vet Hospital. Of course I said yes, the manager drove him over & the drs/staff called letting me know his condition & what they recommend. I told them go ahead & treat Sal, which they did so well. I highly Recommond Oviedo Vet & Happy Paws both for the excellent care given by everyone. Thank you all, Donna Gallo.

Great staff and a knowledgable vet. In house labs was a huge plus because our cat was sick and we didn't want to wait 3 days for results like most vets. Will return!

Amazing staff and very helpful. I emailed them on Sunday to get a well check for my dog that I had been told by another vet needed to be euthanized. They got me in the next morning and gave my dog all the care and attention as if she had been going there forever. They told me euthanasia was not warranted at this time and sent her home as a hospice case.Thank you Dr. Kim and staff, I am forever grateful for your kindness and honesty.

0 stars Dr.Ariel Smith was a very heartless and rude veterinarian. my dog was having a heatstroke and they made me feel like I had no hope and said I was looking for a "magic bullet" and told me I can go elsewhere if I didn't feel comfortable there. i don't recommend this veterinarian to anyone. They could care less about your dog they just want your money.
