I was a bit nervous about taking 2 of my 3 cats here since all reviews were from dog owners. After a conversation with Jay, learned Dr Surber has previous experience with the now defunct Cat Clinic in Cumming. I booked an appointment and took Uli & Napa in. I was so pleased that we were immediately taken to a room for cats only. The room had cat toys, treats, places to hide and, even better, calming scent in the air and on the towels and blankets. There is a tv with birds and squirrels eating and chirping. Very calming and stress free for all of us. Lauren & Jay did a pre interview, met the kitties and made sure they were handled gently and lovingly. Dr Surber was the same; gentle, aware of how nervous the boys were and performed tests quickly. Towards the end of the appointment, the boys had calmed down and were looking at the tv and searching the room. All in all, this is not a “line up all pets” in a waiting room or factory style clinic and wait your turn type of vet. This is high quality, take the time to get to know your fur babies in a quiet & safe environment. My boys enjoyed their treats and bandanas. And are proudly showing how brave they are by supporting Dr Surber and staff.

Dr. Surber and her assistant are incredible. My dog's anxiety had been mishandled by several other Dr's in the area and it had gotten to the point he would not let a vet come near him. Previous doctors had said, "he earned a muzzle" and "he was a control freak." Dr. Surber & her staff treated him gently and treated him with kindness & the approach of an animal WITH a problem instead of the mindset that he WAS the problem & a bad dog. We still had to completely sedate him, for his annual exam, but they were kind & gentle. They went to the greatest efforts to keep his exam quiet & non-stimulating so he'd sleep through it. It's a plus that their exam rooms are comfortable and calming. They get on the floor with the animal in a warm living room setup instead of the sterile steel table up in the air. My dog is happy to go in, just doesn't want to be examined. So getting them in the door is half the battle sometimes. If you have a fearful pet, this is the place to take them. They are kind, gentle & very rewarding to the animal's who come through & book enough time for the visit!

Best. Experience. Hands down. We were so excited to check out Dr. Surber's clinic! Many of my family members brought their fur kids (both dogs and feisty cats) to Dr. Surber at a previous location and we knew we had to follow her! The environment of Homestead is that unlike any other. It's cozy and welcoming and you feel like family! It can be extremely chaotic bringing both dogs at the same time (and add a 10 month old to the mix), but I was met with helping hands and smiling faces! Dr. Surber also caught something very important on our FIRST visit that no previous veterinarian was able to identify. Make your switch to Homestead, you won't regret it!

Thank you so much to Dr. Surber at Homestead Animal Hospital! I took my handicapped dog and new kitten to see Dr. Surber for vaccines today! Honestly the best experience at a vet ever! They were so gentle with my dog and did everything on the floor where she was most comfortable. My kitten was so relaxed and had such a positive experience going to her first vet appointment. The rooms are open and clean. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Dr. Surber is so kind and thorough. Definitely a great vet and recommend them 100%

We came into see Dr. Surber with our dog Fellow and had the best experience. I can't imagine a more compassionate veterinarian out there. Highly recommend! They feel like part of the "exit 12" neighborhood of businesses! ♥️🐾
