We have been taking our dog here for over 5 years. Dr Mina and Dr Sam both do really well with our dog with severe anxiety. Alyssa is the best technician we've ever had, as she is so patient with our dog despite his anxiety and being a large breed. The front staff can be hit or miss at times since they've had a lot of changes over the last year or two.

The staff is very nice and know me by name. I love Dr. Sam and he has been treating all of my animals for many years. I recently met with Dr. Meredith and really liked her. She was very knowledgeable and treated my kitty who is feeling much better. On the day I went they had a staff member that was working there from Ambassador Pet Hospital and she wasn't very nice at all, in fact I thought she was outright mean, but normally everyone is great! I'll just avoid this particular person in the future. Highly recommend Dr. Sam and Dr. Meredith.

Went in for a wellness exam and my dog nearly died. Blood was drawn from her chest, not peripherally, and pressure was not applied for long enough afterwards (the tech was applying pressure up to the moment of passing her to me), nor was any bandage used, so when we got home, she started to bleed out and go into shock. Went to the sister emergency clinic only to run into the same vet and get charged $54 for vet wrap and gauze.

She did not receive sub-Q fluids. It took over a day before she began to come out of the lethargy and listlessness from the blood loss. The vet also diagnosed a heart condition and said he was prescribing a beta blocker but they gave us an ACE inhibitor. Also, the vet did not wear his mask over his nose either time.

Great news! Dr. Claudia Horvath has joined this practice! She's the best, most thorough and kind vet ever. Staff was friendly and efficient. Yesterday my dog was barfing profusely with "firehose" diarrhea and today you'd never know he was sick.

Dr Sam has been taking care of my dogs for the last four years. I was surprised with his professional experience and kindness, I also love his friendly receptionists. thank you Dr. Sam for taking such gentle and professional care of my babies. I'm always sure that my dogs are in safe hands when they visit Sun Surf.

They were quick but thorough when taking care of my dog. They also followed up with me after my visit to make sure my dog was on the mend. My old vet never bothered to follow up, if it didn't work then that was on you to bring your dog back in. Sun Surf Veterinary Hospital cares.

Dr Sam and his staff have taken care of 4 of our puppies including two we had to say goodbye to. He came to our Apt. & we were able to let our Samoyed go to sleep with his help and it was much better than taking him in to a hospital. Since then we take our Poodle mixes in for shots and everything else and have been very happy with how they treat us and the dogs.

I have been going to Sun Surf Vet. since i moved here from NY 5 yrs. ago. I had 3 pets, One has since has left us, I was such a wreck that day. Dr. Sam made me comfortable and helped me through the process. Dr. Belmore has been there so many times with my Frenchie and his unique issues. The girls at the front desk are great. All in all in and my boys have always been treated very well there. I am very comfortable with the health of my pets with the care of "Sun Surf Vet" Regards, Tess Kippert Oscar & Louis's Mom

Dr Sam showed great concern for me and my cat during a challenging situation of my cat's paranoia of workmen and fear of moving. We had challenges to determine what was serious (blockage from eating items) needing surgery vs. fear and depression from move. Dr Sam showed great compassion to both Sasha (and his Mom) when the situation became more than frustrating with repeat occurrences.

The staff at Sun Surf are very friendly and professional and the atmosphere is pleasant and clean. Their tech's have gone beyond the call of duty to make my pet (and me) comfortable - in boarding (monitoring him) or with treatment/surgery. At a prior time Dr. Mary Belmore passed the treatment plan over to Dr. Sam for the best interest of Sasha (when he came for same eating/blockage issues on a weekend in July that she wasn't going to be available. I appreciated the team spirit and seamless treatment between the Dr's.
