Friendly staff and everything goes quickly. My vet in Indiana, while wonderful, tended to keep us waiting for close to an hour. Here, my wait time has never exceeded 10 minutes, and that was with a last minute appointment. My dog enjoys coming here and so do I. Thanks for looking after our babies!

They got me and my pug in today even though they were slammed and Dr. Robert Young was absolutely amazing. Very caring and knowledgeable. First time for my pug seeing him, but it didn't feel that way. I felt very comfortable and confident with Dr. Young's dx and advice.

They are simply the best. I was having trouble finding someone to deal with my pup's lymphoma. I am in Palm City and no one could take her here for 3 weeks, they moved the schedule around to get her in and starting on the chemo regime. I was lucky to find someone at The Cancer Care Clinic here is Stuart to get her in finally, but these people came to the plate and were ready to assist if I could not get someone immediately. I appreciate all their help and wanted to give a big THANK YOU.

Went to this clinic with my Boston Terrier and the service is above & beyond. Let's start with the doctor. He was very professional, assessment was thorough yet gentle with my dog. He not only was on point with his diagnosis, but the guy let me also participate in the care of my dog. Is great to see a profesional that really enjoys what he does and educate pet owners how to follow up on care. His team is very attentive, polite & kind.
My dog went twice, trauma related events and Jayko's tech was so calming to him, especially when he was in so much pain. More impressive is that the amount I paid was really good for the care he was given. I really recommend this clinic and I wish they grow. We need more people like this to take care of our pets.
