Can't say enough good things about Dr. Mathusa and what he did for my mother-in-law's precious Missy, a toy Chihuahua during our recent stay on Sanibel. Dr. Mathusa cared for Missy overnight, provided peace of mind, has an amazing bedside manner, was incredibly caring and responsive, and got Missy back to happiness and health, all the while continuing to follow up. What a wonderful clinic, wonderful experience, and so appreciated!!

Wow do I feel fortunate to have met Dr. Mathusa. My pup was quite sick and Susan (office manager/teammate/wife of Dr. Mathusa) worked me in to their schedule. Dr. Mathusa was kind,compassionate, spent time with my me/my pup (very gentle with my pup), explained everything he was seeing/uncovering, provided perfect care (discussed options--gave me three paths we could take--did NOT try to include services/options that would have cost and been likely unnecessary). I walked in to the clinic with tremendous stress about the state of my pup and was immediately calmed by Dr. Mathusa (and his technician, also wonderful), his "bed-side manner", his clear knowledge of what he was doing and the protocol I walked away with to get my pup back on track. I recommend Dr. Mathusa and his team 100%. Sanibel is lucky to have them as part of the community and animal support. Thank you Dr. Mathusa and Susan and the whole team!

Referring to June 2022 by Truth S
First and foremost, the person you refer to is not my wife, but I do know who treated you in an unprofessional manner. I am sorry for your experience. Your treatment was unacceptable. The person you are referring to is, understandably, no longer working at our facility. Please know that every day we work hard to treat clients in the same manner that we would expect to be treated.

I can’t express how much I love this vet! Dr. Mathias is very knowledgeable and competent. He truly cares about his furry patients. He is compassionate and super helpful! The entire staff is lovely! So glad I found this place for my kitties.

We are SO fortunate to have the entire Beachside staff here on Sanibel. I've had nothing but amazing experiences at Beachside. All the staff are so wonderful, caring, and empathetic people. The prices are VERY reasonable for the service offered, and they will always try their best to make same-day appointments when they can. I appreciate Dr. Mathusa's candor and wit, and I never, ever feel like I'm being upsold services I don't need. I will be a loyal Beachside advocate and customer for as long as they're open!

The problem with this office is that Dr. Mark's wife is one of two people that work the front desk and does not bother to introduce herself on the phone. The net effect is that she acts like a Vet when she is not and will not say who she is, while insisting on additional testing. When she screamed "Listen!" I looked at the phone in bewilderment and decided that a civil conversation with Dr. Mark's office was not possible and I hung up. When we found a new Vet and asked for the records to be sent to us, Dr. Mark's wife used our pup's medical records to mouth off on the owner. I have to assume that it was Dr. Mark's wife because she has not been fired after I reported her behavior. FYI, before all Vet appointments I carefully brush & comb our pup. After the appointment and a blood draw when our pup was returned to us, she had a one-inch-hair-mat near her ear. I wonder at the restraints they use in that facility.

Nothing but good things to say about Beachside Animal clinic. Our dog developed a bad secondary case of kennel cough. Beachside was able to fit him in the same day, despite it being in season on the island. Everyone there was compassionate and helpful. Dr Mark cut to the chase, medically, prescribing effective medications that quickly controlled a bad situation. Afterword we made an appointment for teeth cleaning, which was a bargain compared to the rates up in PA.

What a great experience with Beachside Animal Clinic. I Down on the island for a month and three weeks into it my dog Levi got a serious case of colitis for the first time. Call the clinic at about 9:45 AM and got an 11 o'clock appointment. The team met me at the door and took the stool sample out of my hand to start running test. Within an hour Levi had two shots a prescription to go and gastroenteritis dog Food to get him back on track. Writing this the day after my visit and Levi is doing great. Just a great experience from beginning to end. And I felt the price was very fair.
