Report
Dr. Williams performed the neutering surgery for my cocker spaniel. Very happy with Fernandina Animal Hospital. Her practice contacted me the day before to go over the procedure and what to expect. After the surgery, she phoned me to update me on my dog. Two days later, I received a follow up call from the clinic, asking me how my dog was doing. I am impressed and happy to have Fernandina Animal Clinic as my vet!

Had our first visit to Fern. Beach Animal Clinic and everyone was great. Very friendly, very efficient. I couldn't be happier! So happy we are their new clients (maybe not Archie since he had to have his vaccinations).

Report
I have no idea the Doctor's name as he didn't introduce himself. He was super personable and great with the dogs. We had several issues to address. The one about both dogs itchy skin was not addressed other than " no fleas". The staff is also very presonable and the place is spotless. I would have also liked a read out of the doctors notes.
