The staff seems very new. Mr Dr Mosley is very distant from the pet and owner. Unknown why. Although both dogs are very healthy i as an owner ate expected to visit for duplicate services such as bordatella are expected again after 6 months( on grown dogs). There is zero reason for revisiting except the office trying tp make $$$. I dont mind the stupid experience once a year, but twice pushed my buttons. There is zero rationale.

This place goes above and beyond to treat animals with the utmost care. They are straight forward and do not play games or charge for unnecessary services. I will always recommend this place to friends and family.

I presently have 3 German Shepherds and 2 cats. Dr's James and Tiffany Mosley are awesome veterinarians. They are great at keeping up with all the normal visits, shots and care. What makes them exceptional is when you encounter a problem. My 7 year old Shepherd was diagnosed a year ago with severe hip dysplasia. The protocol they put Brisa on has made an awesome difference. She is bossing around 2 year and a half old puppies. It is this extent of knowledge and care combined that makes them so very, very good.

What can I say when it comes to an amazing Vet that hasn't already been said by all the other 5-star posts in this review section? The staff is very accommodating, the technicians are very caring and the doctors (Dr. Tiffany and Dr. James) are very knowledgeable and communicate on a level that a "basic dog dad" can understand. I have two dogs and they both get excellent care! My oldest dog had a really bad skin infection that had me very worried and I was unable to leave my house due to car troubles. Dr. Tiffany was so accommodating that, after work, she stopped by to give my dog some meds.
I know this isn't typical for businesses (particularly vets) to do something like this, but I think she heard the desperation in my voice and went above and beyond to help my dog. I'm happy to say that my dog responded positively to the medication and he's back to his old self! Thank you, Dr. Tiff, Dr. James and all the staff at Mandarin Animal Hospital! You have my 4-legged animals business for as long as I have them!

I had an emergency with my cat and my vet was closed. I had to put my elderly cat down, she was so frail and beyond saving. The vet fit me in and had a room ready for me as soon as I walked in the door (I did not have an appointment). They afforded me the privacy and time to say goodbye to my sweet girl. This was very appreciated since I am not a regular patient and I was a walk in. The staff was so professional and considerate of my emotions. I greatly appreciate them taking their time to make this transition as easy as possible. Thank You for being so caring during this difficult time.

My experience was very disturbing. I was a walk-in for a sick pet. However, I am an existing customer. In my opinion, the staff and vet lacked complete empathy towards my pet. At the time, my pet was not eating and had become lethargic. When I arrived, my pet was taken into an examination room without my presence. I was informed to stay in the waiting room. During the examination, the vet made no direct contact or communication with me; which was troubling.
The information was disseminated through a vet tech. The prescribed treatment options appeared financially motivated, as opposed to effectively strategizing to enhance quality of life. Subsequently after my visit (3 days), my pet's health declined and I followed up with an alternative veterinary hospital. My pet, sadly, had to be put down. The prescribed treatment options, lack of communication and professionalism from Mandarin Animal Hospital are a few reasons why I would never return nor recommend them.

Called this place to attempt to get my cat in for an emergency appointment, the lady that answered the phone was extremely short, had an awful tone and after telling me "fine, hold on" placed me on hold. Needless to say I took my cat somewhere else. If it's your job to answer phones, you should do so without attitude.

Find another vet, notice all the 1 star reviews. Dr. Tiff removed my dogs eyeball( shouldn't have done that)2000.00 dollars, meds prescribed did not work. She claims its my fault and blames me for her lack of ability. I had to euthanize my dog yesterday, because of Tiff. So very heart breaking this whole ordeal. Find another vet. She's snarky and unprofessional. Heavy sigh.

They love our dogs like they are their own. Everyone is so friendly and they always remember the finer details about your pets, we have one dog that is very anxious and they go out of their way to make sure she is extra comfortable during her visits. Pricing is fair too.

We are stationed overseas so my parents have been taking my dog & cat here to complete the difficult process of getting them approved to fly overseas. Dr. Moseley & his staff were so sweet to my dog & cat. Dr. Moseley dealt with the USDA office & handled the crazy issues they were causing. He stayed after hours & came in before office hours to file the paperwork. Mandarin Animal Hospital is professional & will handle your fur baby with love.

I have brought my pets here for almost 10 years. There staff is friendly and helpful. I board my pets there as well and I always feel that they are safe and well cared for in my absence. In the past they have both needed surgery and they have been treated with love and the intent to ease their pain. I would highly recommend this practice. Because it is small you get to know everyone and they get to know your pets.

We have only been patients since the end of August and I am very happy with the care that Lzzy, (yes, I know there is an "i" missing from her name, it was intentional), receives. She had skin and ear issues when I got her and they are now gone. I am quite happy with the care we receive and the staff at the Mandarin Animal Hospital.

Thank you Mandarin Animal Hospital for caring about animals as much as our family does. We wouldn't trust anyone else with the care of our four-legged children. Dr. Tiffany is an exceptional vet that truly loves animals. Thank you to the wonderful vets and staff at Mandarin Animal Hospital for your care and compassion. It is greatly appreciated.

I have brought both my dogs here for boarding, exams, acupuncture, laser therapy and vaccines. I buy my high quality dog food here as well. So many services provided under one roof. Not to mention, Dr. Mosley is an amazing doctor! I can't say enough about him and his supporting staff! I love this place! Wouldn't take my pets anywhere else!

Our Kitty Kelly just loved going to Mandarin Animal Hospital! She's an older girl, 15, and I was concerned that she might have some geriatric problems. The kind doctors and technicians made sure her experience and mine was pleasant. We were in and out in a timely manner, and she was not stressed at all. Thank you, Mandarin Animal Hospital for your kindness!

My Wife and I have been taking our four legged kids to Mandarin Animal Hospital since they were born and have received nothing but excellent care. James Moseley and his wife Tiffany are highly competent vets, listen to their clients and treat our animals with compassion. If you are looking for a vet for your fur baby, try Mandarin Animal Hospital, they are the absolute best in Jacksonville.

The absolute best! My sweet boy needed surgery, and they were able to schedule super fast. Dr. Moseley is fantastic. He and his staff are professional and caring. I won't take my furbabies anywhere else.

Our experience with the staff was excellent. We brought in what we thought was a stray on short notice and took care of us and the little guy. My fiance and I think highly of the staff as well as the facility. I highly recommend!
