I have worked with many different vets in the past and I find Dr. Daws to be extremely incompetent and the majority of the staff is useless (they do have one good vet-tech). The wait time was long and it was a complete waste of my time/money as I had to go pay for another exam at a legitimate vet the day after visiting here. I highly recommend that you use UF small animal hospital or literally any other vet if you care about the health of your pets. Also they offer clients $10 off for positive google reviews which makes it hard to trust any that you read. Read Less

It seems that there is always a new inexperienced vet at this practice. I have been using them 10+ years as needed for simple things like puppy health certificates. Recently I called for an emergency with 2 of my dogs that had gotten into some poison and was told they wouldn’t see us and to try UF. I was able to find another local office that told us to head in immediately and they treated my dogs, who survived. Needless to say we won’t be using them again!! Read Less

Last week was my first visit to this facility and I felt that my cat was treated by someone who understands cats. In the other vet clinic where I used to go in Chicago, Luna had always been held by the scruff and taken in the back. Here, Dr Martinez sensed that Luna was scared and therefore she was very careful, soft spoken and very efficient. Luna didn't even react to the injections Dr. Martinez gave her and the best part is that I was always holding her, my cat never left the room. I am very pleased with this clinic and I will be using their services for my other cats. Read Less

I love this hospital. I can't say enough about Dr. Hernandez and the rest of the staff there. They showed so much compassion for my kitty, Puff. I brought her in on an emergency because she was having shortness of breath and all they were concerned about was making her comfortable. I was a complete mess and a receptionist named Tiffany was very kind and offered me coffee while I waited on the outcome of my baby girl. One of the technicians kept me informed on what was going on with her and they gave me an itemized estimate so I wouldn't be surprised of the charges and it gave me a chance to decide what I could do that day. Surprisingly the estimate was very reasonable and my girl is home and breathing well. A special thanks to to everyone there for taking such good care of her. Read Less

Dr Martinez saw my dog for an issue that was properly diagnosed and treated by a previous vet. Not only was she miles off on her 'attempt' to explain the underlying issue, she failed to write a simple prescription that alleviated my dog's symptoms in the past. Failure to comprehend basic medical science seems to be an issue here. I would advise driving as far as you need to in order to get your pet proper treatment from a proper veterinarian. Affordable vet clinic in Jonesville will try to squeeze less money out of you and actually treat your pet. Read Less

Countryside Animal Hospital is staffed by a devoted, caring group of veterinarians and support staff. I was lucky to get to know this team as one of their locum veterinarians. Having provided locum support to numerous veterinary clinics, I can say the team at Countryside is among the best. Good veterinary care can be costly at times, but their prices are more than fair for the area, and the staff always searches for the most cost-effective way to offer the best medical recommendation for each pet. They are good about providing other options if the ideal plan is cost-prohibitive. I recommend this clinic to any dog or cat owner in the area without hesitation.

DR. STINE AND DR. HAMILTON ARE NO LONGER THERE!!! STAY AWAY!!!! I will NEVER TAKE MY DOGS THERE AGAIN. They have been taken over by a corporate entity and MONEY IS THEIR ONLY CONCERN. The previous owner was considerate not only of my dogs but of my expense. For example: I had unfortunately not kept up with the heart worm prevention. The previous owner let me get the blood tests for $24 each (I have three dogs) and then they have been on the prevention ever since. No lapses. When I went to reorder I was told my vet was no longer there and I had to pay for a FULL EXAM for each dog before they would give me the prevention which they had been on continuously. If you know anything about this you know you don't have to retest if they have been on it. THIS IS A CORPORATE TAKE OVER OF OUR LOCAL VET. All they want is your money. OH and be sure to check out the history of the vet they assign you. Find out where they went to school. You'll be shocked. Read Less

The other day our dog was bitten by a rattle snake. I called the animal hospital closest to our house and they instructed us to come here, to the Countryside Animal Hospital, where they had anti venom on hand. When I arrived I was instructed to wait for the technician to finish her phone call. As if that wasn't enough when dealing with a time sensitive matter, she began a long-winded lecture explaining that they would not treat him because they were unable (or unwilling) to monitor him overnight. Clearly the staff was not concerned with his well-being. If you value your pets life avoid this so-called "hospital" at all costs, especially when faced with an emergency. I would advise taking them to the small animal hospital at the University of Florida where they value the life of your pet as much as you do. Read Less

I can't say enough good things about Countryside and their staff. They have cared for our two dogs, Molly and Jessie. Unfortunately, last week we had to say goodbye to Jessie. He was 18 years old, his body was failing and our poor baby was suffering. Dr. Trysh Hamilton showed such caring and compassion, and made sure his last moments were pain free, dignified, and filled with love. She shed as many tears as we did, which showed me just how much she loves animals. She helped us in making the right choice for Jessie, helped us get through the process and feel better in knowing he is no longer in pain and is waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. If you want people taking care of your pet's health who truly love animals, are compassionate and caring, then Countryside Animal Hospital is the place to take them. Read Less

I was a breeder and now I rescue dachshunds. I have had 12 dogs and 13 puppies (not at the same time!). Dr. Stine and Dr. Hamilton are quintessential β€œCountry Vets.” You can count on them to provide no nonsense care for you and your pet. We were referred to Dr. Stine 13 years ago when our previous vet exhausted every treatment for a rash on one of our dogs (creams, antibiotics). On our first visit, Dr. Stine resolved 4 months of pain for our beloved dog with 1 examination and 1 question – we switched laundry detergent. Dr. Stine is straightforward. If he can prolong a dog’s life, he will show us how. If it is time to send our dog over the β€œRainbow Bridge,” he will go the extra mile to provide compassionate care for us and our dogs. Dr. Hamilton is equally competent and compassionate. Once, one of our puppies developed complications as she started eating solid foods. We tried everything our previous vet recommended, including painful enemas. It was heart wrenching. I thought we would have to put down the puppy. Dr. Hamilton asked that we give her the puppy before putting it down. But first, she took an X-ray, found the source of the problem, and put together a clever medical regimen. That dog is still with us at 13 years of age. If you love your animal take them to Countryside Animal Hospital. Read Less

I love this hospital. I can't say enough about Dr. Hernandez and the rest of the staff there. They showed so much compassion for my kitty, Puff. I brought her in on an emergency because she was having shortness of breath and all they were concerned about was making her comfortable. I was a complete mess and a receptionist named Tiffany was very kind and offered me coffee while I waited on the outcome of my baby girl. One of the technicians kept me informed on what was going on with her and they gave me an itemized estimate so I wouldn't be surprised of the charges and it gave me a chance to decide what I could do that day. Surprisingly the estimate was very reasonable and my girl is home and breathing well. A special thanks to to everyone there for taking such good care of her. Read Less

Dr Martinez saw my dog for an issue that was properly diagnosed and treated by a previous vet. Not only was she miles off on her 'attempt' to explain the underlying issue, she failed to write a simple prescription that alleviated my dog's symptoms in the past. Failure to comprehend basic medical science seems to be an issue here. I would advise driving as far as you need to in order to get your pet proper treatment from a proper veterinarian. Affordable vet clinic in Jonesville will try to squeeze less money out of you and actually treat your pet. Read Less

Countryside Animal Hospital is staffed by a devoted, caring group of veterinarians and support staff. I was lucky to get to know this team as one of their locum veterinarians. Having provided locum support to numerous veterinary clinics, I can say the team at Countryside is among the best. Good veterinary care can be costly at times, but their prices are more than fair for the area, and the staff always searches for the most cost-effective way to offer the best medical recommendation for each pet. They are good about providing other options if the ideal plan is cost-prohibitive. I recommend this clinic to any dog or cat owner in the area without hesitation. Disclosure: This post is by a former employee of Countryside Animal Hospital. No compensation was received for this unfiltered review. Read Less

DR. STINE AND DR. HAMILTON ARE NO LONGER THERE!!! STAY AWAY!!!! I will NEVER TAKE MY DOGS THERE AGAIN. They have been taken over by a corporate entity and MONEY IS THEIR ONLY CONCERN. The previous owner was considerate not only of my dogs but of my expense. For example: I had unfortunately not kept up with the heart worm prevention. The previous owner let me get the blood tests for $24 each (I have three dogs) and then they have been on the prevention ever since. No lapses. When I went to reorder I was told my vet was no longer there and I had to pay for a FULL EXAM for each dog before they would give me the prevention which they had been on continuously. If you know anything about this you know you don't have to retest if they have been on it. THIS IS A CORPORATE TAKE OVER OF OUR LOCAL VET. All they want is your money. OH and be sure to check out the history of the vet they assign you. Find out where they went to school. You'll be shocked. Read Less

The other day our dog was bitten by a rattle snake. I called the animal hospital closest to our house and they instructed us to come here, to the Countryside Animal Hospital, where they had anti venom on hand. When I arrived I was instructed to wait for the technician to finish her phone call. As if that wasn't enough when dealing with a time sensitive matter, she began a long-winded lecture explaining that they would not treat him because they were unable (or unwilling) to monitor him overnight. Clearly the staff was not concerned with his well-being. If you value your pets life avoid this so-called "hospital" at all costs, especially when faced with an emergency. I would advise taking them to the small animal hospital at the University of Florida where they value the life of your pet as much as you do. Read Less

I can't say enough good things about Countryside and their staff. They have cared for our two dogs, Molly and Jessie. Unfortunately, last week we had to say goodbye to Jessie. He was 18 years old, his body was failing and our poor baby was suffering. Dr. Trysh Hamilton showed such caring and compassion, and made sure his last moments were pain free, dignified, and filled with love. She shed as many tears as we did, which showed me just how much she loves animals. She helped us in making the right choice for Jessie, helped us get through the process and feel better in knowing he is no longer in pain and is waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. If you want people taking care of your pet's health who truly love animals, are compassionate and caring, then Countryside Animal Hospital is the place to take them. Read Less

I was a breeder and now I rescue dachshunds. I have had 12 dogs and 13 puppies (not at the same time!). Dr. Stine and Dr. Hamilton are quintessential β€œCountry Vets.” You can count on them to provide no nonsense care for you and your pet. We were referred to Dr. Stine 13 years ago when our previous vet exhausted every treatment for a rash on one of our dogs (creams, antibiotics). On our first visit, Dr. Stine resolved 4 months of pain for our beloved dog with 1 examination and 1 question – we switched laundry detergent. Dr. Stine is straightforward. If he can prolong a dog’s life, he will show us how. If it is time to send our dog over the β€œRainbow Bridge,” he will go the extra mile to provide compassionate care for us and our dogs. Dr. Hamilton is equally competent and compassionate. Once, one of our puppies developed complications as she started eating solid foods. We tried everything our previous vet recommended, including painful enemas. It was heart wrenching. I thought we would have to put down the puppy. Dr. Hamilton asked that we give her the puppy before putting it down. But first, she took an X-ray, found the source of the problem, and put together a clever medical regimen. That dog is still with us at 13 years of age. If you love your animal take them to Countryside Animal Hospital. Read Less
