Partridge Animal Hospital

I never write reviews. I felt strongly enough to write this one. I brought in my dog for a checkup and the doctor said my dog has an underbite which isn't good for teeth and says he has a loose tooth in the front. She said I should schedule a dental, so I did. I dropped my dog off. I asked the woman I gave my dog to how much for dental and a loose tooth.

She told me the dental is a few hundred and a loose tooth is about $50 bucks, and anything major, I'd get a call, which I'm pretty sure is standard procedure at any good vet. I never hear anything throughout the day. No calls. So I figure everything is ok. I walk in to get my dog and I have a $1,000 bill. They've pulled 5 of his teeth and stitched skin to make a new gum line - all without any authorization.

They supposedly feel bad, so they take off some money including the "extra hour of anesthesia" for surgeries that I never OKed in the first place. Now my bill is $900. I guess I am supposed to feel ok. Someone pulls me aside and tells me they are so expensive because of the level of care they offer. But then tells me that they are going to follow up and call to see how my dog is doing tomorrow.

Which they NEVER DID. What level of "care" is this? High prices under the guise of "great care" which I have not received. Only a surprise bill with no authorization, no communication, and no follow up. I told the story to a group of friends after this incident and one of them told me they had a similar experience there and also no longer take their pet to Partridge. There are plenty of great vet offices in the area. This one claims to be special, and I've never seen it.

Had to put down beloved family dog a week ago. Patridge staff handled everything with kindness and care. Made a terrible day just a bit better. Immediately sent flowers and condolences. Helped us through several medical issues over the years. Kind of pricey but they are the only ones we wanted to take care of our pet.

Wonderful place for pets, great service, care, and commitment. We started with Dr. Partridge about 17 years ago with Simon our cat and kid. We watched this place grow over the years, and ownership change. Dr. Partridge took care of Simon exceptionally until Dr. Partridge was called back to Heaven. Unfortunately we moved and have a new vet in the last 6 months.

Our dear Simon passed this past Saturday 4-9-2022. 20 years old. We credit his longevity to the care he was provided here. We also joked that Dr Partridge did a check up on him when he crossed the rainbow bridge. We we will miss the exceptional service, friendly staff, and honest treatment. May you continue to grow and keep Dr. Partridge's love and honesty of his treatment of all fur kids as the top priority. Wishing you all much success in the future. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You so much for what you do everyday.

This animal hospital is by far the best vet in the Tampa Bay Area. I would travel from north Tampa down to here solely because every technician and vet in this facility genuinely cares about you and your pet and will do all that they can to make sure everything will work out. My cat unfortunately needed surgery last night due to emergency circumstances, but the only surgeons available were at expensive vet ERs, that realistically I can't afford out of pocket even with care credit and Scratchpay. Fortunately, Krista, the vet technician that day, helped me out immensely.

She managed to get the off duty surgeon in to perform the surgery on my cat and for that I will be forever thankful to both of them. Everyone here is amazing and they'll always find the root cause of the issue in your pet. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is a little uncertain over where to go, especially since fur babies are a big, important part of our lives. They'll take care of your fur babies here and work with you so that everything goes smoothly. 100/10 stars if I could

An AMAZING clinic, words can not describe the hard work that goes down behind the scenes. The love that every Tech and Dr. Shows to each and every pet is authentic as if it were their own pets

This is a great place! Staff was super friendly! Kathryn Maitre, DVM is excellent! Very thorough and to the point. Riley was anxious to be there but any dog would be. Again, the staff eased her as much as possible. It was just a really good experience and that others care as much for my doggo as I do. Highly recommend if you're looking for a vet!

Deceptive practice and overcharges. Clearly riding on Dr Partridge's previous reputation. I was given a quote prior to making the appointment for the services I was going in for. I clarified the services when I arrived (shot and license renewal). They then had me pay in the exam room without a receipt (which I had to ask for). When it arrived, there was a full vet visit (annual wellness charge) on it. Had I knew that was going to be there, I would have went elsewhere -which is why I asked for a quote to begin with. Or, at least I would have made sure that my dog got the full wellness exam that I was charged for.

This is not the first time that I had a surprise on my bill. Last time I found that I had been charged for a case of food that I didn't get. Be honest with your customers up front. Also show the bill to your customers before making them pay -like every other vet. You can only ride on the late Dr Partridge's coat tails for so long before before your current practices catch up to you. Edited to add that they did call me back and did a partial credit to my bill for half the exam. Still, I could have saved over $100 and went to animal services for the shot and license.

When we moved to St Pete a year and a half ago we knew we needed to find a good vet for our one dog at the time and Partridge has been amazing for now both our pups! Always in great spirits and informative when I have questions or concerns.

I was referred by my vet for an ultrasound with Dr. Lander's and was very happy with the whole experience. Everyone there was very professional and I felt comfortable with all the staff. Dr. Lander's took the time to make sure I understand the whole process and went over previous blood work results explaining and interpretating the results.

We recently got a new dog and where looking for a vet when a friend recommended Partridge to us. We could not be happier with how our first appointment with them went. All the staff was super nice and you can tell they really care about the animal. They where super patient with us while we asked 6,002 questions.

My family and I have been going to Partridge Animal Hospital for years. I trust them, the staff is professional and friendly! The dr's are amazing and listen to all your concerns while putting the pet's safety and well-being first. Absolutely love them!

There are many clinics I could have chosen when I moved to the St Pete area, but I chose Partridge Animal Hospital because it was close to my house. Most people may not choose to select a vet that way, but once I made the phone call, I knew I made the right decision. The staff has been exceptional with their customer service and information. The vet tech staff is always attentive and listens to what I have to say and answers my questions. The past 2 years my girls have seen Dr. George and he is fantastic! I'm glad he chose to practice at this facility! He represents Dr. Partridge's legacy well.

Thank you Dr. Power and Technician Lee for your outstanding service today for my little chicken nugget Pearl. You were both so patient and thorough with getting to know her history and providing a plan of action. Thanks again for the warm welcome and top notch professionalism. You are so appreciated!

They are patient, kind, take their time to explain things, and truly take the very best care of your four legged family members. I trust them completely from the routine to emergency care. The techs and the office staff are always friendly and helpful. My dogs love going to the vet and saying hi to everyone there.

We happened upon Partridge and Dr. Freeborg a few years ago, and they were so great, decided to take my kitty Sonora there. Dr Freeborg is simply the best,the guy is a rock star of veterinarians. The staff is caring, kind and professional. Unfortunately, it's time for my girl to cross the bridge, she is my heart and I will miss her forever. I am completely heartbroken. But we will be there for her right to the end. And I know Dr Freeborg will be there too, making it a gentle way for my girl to cross the bridge.

Can't thank you enough for taking care of my newest fur baby Bandito. He was very sick when I brought him in this past Monday and everyone was wonderful, from the front staff, the techs and Dr. Freeborg. You were all so kind and caring and he is doing great now!

This was our first visit and let me tell you I was extremely impressed. The office staff was super friendly and I can't say enough about the doctor. Dr. Freeborg took the time to explain everything to me. I have to think Jamie from PA PA PR for referring me there. Best decision and is worth the travel

I came to work at Partridge Animal Hospital after years of hearing about its superior reputation in animal care. When I started here, I was absolutely blown away by the level of commitment to medical excellence, teamwork and its shining reputation in the community. The doctors and technicians are some of the most dedicated individuals I have met in the field.

They genuinely care about each and every patient and client. Partridge Animal Hospital is not only an incredible place to work, but I would not trust my own animals’ care with anyone else.

We were displaced due to Hurricane Michael and my 12 year old Irish Setter was having problems with his leg, eating and basically depressed. The staff were so great. They got us in right away and treated my baby like he was a long time patient. They spent so much time with us and my dog felt at home. Kudos to Adam and Dr. Collins. Thank you so very much! I would reccomend this vet to anyone.

The entire staff and Drs were fantastic. Very accommodating, concerned and ultimately provided excellent veterinary care - at a VERY reasonable price. They didn’t try to ring us up for a long list of needed test and services and I’ve experienced at other Vets. Highly recommend!

Partridge Animal Hospital offers the most loving care. The entire staff is compassionate and truly love animals. I have received excellent care from all of the doctors. Dr Partridge is my doctor and has helped me through difficult surgeries and always offers the best advice for all of my pets. I trust him with my life because my fur babies are my life. Thank you for all you do

All of the doctors and staff here are so great - they all treat my fur baby like their own. Adam is an amazing tech - Ruby gets so excited to see him! He was very calm and comforting when I had to drop her off for surgery. I feel 100% confident she’s in the best hands every time I bring her in.

We’ve been with partridge for five years now and honestly I feel bad that this is the first time I’m giving them a review. They have always treated my fur baby like he was their own. They’ve gotten us in last minute when worry wart mom needs him to be seen about something. They have the most caring staff from the front desk to all of the veterinarians and techs.

On our most recent visit, Jen and Danielle were absolutely amazing at keeping my seven-year-old corgi calm while he got his nails cut and they tended to an injury on his ear. Something I also loved is they let me be part of the process of calming him and let me be very involved during the whole thing. This helped me feel so much better about what was going on with Cooper. I can’t say enough nice things about Partridge, but they’ve got my furbabies for life.
