Took my big boy Tucker there to be neutered today. Everyone that works there is so very nice & do a great job. The price was 1/4 what everyone else quoted. It’s our second dog we have taken to them

Let me start by saying , the staff was incredibly nice and this is not directed toward them in the slightest. However first impression of the vet Dr. Christine Schwartz, she was rude, inconsiderate, and down right uncompassionate. She was incredibly rough with both of our dogs and had an attitude when I said something about how she man handling my small dog trying to flip him on his back by pulling his back legs. We have never had such a terrible experience and Im not so sure he won't be traumatized by this visit . She clearly doesn't care about animals and is most definitely in the wrong profession. Disgusting 🤮 I feel like I let my pup down. **Would be willing to try the office again when another vet is on staff. **Do NOT use her.

This Vet came highly recommended by several friends. I didn't have to see them until KitCat got sick. They were very compassionate and kind in a very terrible situation. We ended up later adopting 2 kittens from a feral mother cat in the neighborhood. They pointed me to Indian Rivers Humane society which helped the feral kitties in our neighborhood via Tri-County Animal Hospital all get fixed and checked. They also did the surgeries for my two adopted kitties. All around I have MANY positive interactions with this vet office and all have been top notch. As of right now they are and will be my kitties Doctors.
