Preventive care

Dr. Grabowski (in my opinion) was unprofessional in her appearance, and in practice . Although the vet tech named Destiny was wonderful and professional, I would’ve left if she hadn’t gotten involved. If I go back, I will need to see another doctor veterinarian. I am a Top Google guide, so I’m very careful about, giving negative reviews. This negative review is about the veterinarian Dr.G, not the clinic Dr. Grabowski in my opinion, lacked many qualities of a professional veterinarian. My Havanese, Connor’s skin health problems have not been resolved .

We've been using Southport Animal Hospital for many years and many pets. I was very happy with my last visit. The waiting room was very peaceful and the team was very professional. I wasn't rushed and a procedure for my dog was explained in detail. No problem with parking either.

Professional, friendly and through. The staff is very friendly. Answers all my silly questions for my new puppy. I am so happy to have found this office and it’s in my neighborhood.

The absolute, most amazing vet practice ever! Absolutely everyone who works there is a caring, empathetic individual-from the front desk, to the vet techs, to the doctors. They are compassionate folks who I thank God every day for bringing me to them. I started going when I adopted Charlie, a senior doggo, who had a myriad of issues. They always fit me in, for every emergency (and there were many). Ultimately, my little angel had renal failure and we went for subcutaneous fluids daily. He loved the staff and got to visit them every day, to good delight and mine. When he passed, peacefully in my arms, he was surrounded by all of their love (as well as my family's love) and I couldn't have asked for a better experience with something so awful. My Dr is Dr. Marlar and I adore her. Now we have adopted Frida, a younger little lady. She recently had her spay operation and microchipping done (as well as all of her vaccinations etc), and it was my first time with that procedure (my dogs are usually already fixed by the time I adopt them). They recommended a surgery recovery suit (like a onesie for dogs-so freaking cute!) and it was also a great experience. I love this veterinary practice and every person I've had the pleasure to meet that works there. I know Frida is in good hands with them, and my heart is calm knowing they will always be there for me.
