Dr. Carver is the BEST! She is not only a great vet, she is loving and caring. Honestly I can not thank her and her staff enough for all they have done for my 3 dogs! Can not recommend Kindness Animal Hospital East enough. Read Less

We needed a last minute boarding situation for our dogs. We are from out of town and the staff went above and beyond to help us get everything in order to ensure the best of experience for us and our dogs. I highly recommend! Wonderful! Read Less

I was at both locations with my dog Winston. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Above all I saw Dr Tucker at both places and she is incredible. She examined Winston, listened patiently to me regarding his problem and proceeded to do some testing. She ordered some medication and when I returned a week later she ordered some blood work. She called me first thing the next morning to give me the results. What a relief that was to me. She was very caring and thanks to Dr Turner , Winston is doing so much better. I thank everyone at kindness to help me keep my best friend of 14 years. Read Less

I took my dog here, there was a walking issue, after expensive ex-rays, they told me my young Westie had a problem with his hip and needed surgery,  for a cool few thousand.    I went to Viscaya for a second opinion.  Dr. Did not even need to look at ex-ray.  It was his crucial tendon in his knee.   I've been with Viscaya ever since they are in My Opinion The Best.    I Rate this place as NOOO DONT DO IT.!

The office staff, technicians and Doctors are fantastic! They are very professional but also compassionate. Not just for the animals but the owners as well. They have done an amazing job not only caring for my dog and helping her through her illness but also helping me navigate through it as well. I don't know all the doctors as I only see Dr. Morgan and Dr. Tucker but they both are amazing veterinarians and are very trustworthy. If you want the cheapest vet on the cape this may not be for you...if you want the highest quality of technicians/doctors and reasonable pricing you won't be disappointed! Read Less

they took their time with my dog and explained thoroughly what my dog's condition might be. I have a Rottweiler and Dr Bonnie Tucker was very patient with him and showed no fear of the breed. Frankie the technician is a blessing to their Hospital. Read Less

As a fellow veterinary professional I was blown away by the staff at Kindness Animal Hospital. Upon arrival I was greeted by an amazing team of receptionists who gave my dog, Dixie, a lot of love. The technician, Frank, was very professional and respectful. He gave Dixie lots of treats and affection, and made her more comfortable during her visit. Dr. Tucker was very knowledgeable and had an excellent “paw-side manner.” She was very thorough, kind, and empathetic. I would recommend Kindness Animal Hospital to anyone who wants good quality pet care from compassionate, well-educated staff! Thank you so much Kindness! The Bagel is feeling so much better already! :) Read Less

Today I took my dog to get his nails trimmed. When I called to make the appointment I let the girl know on the phone he would be a little scarred. When we got there the staff was friendly but my dog was already a little nervous. They took him back and I could hear him crying. Then about 10 minutes later the girl came out to inform me that she couldn’t get a muzzle on him. He was so terrified he peed and pooped on himself. When she brought him back up I muzzled him and she took him back again. When I got my dog back his nails where trimmed but he started to bleed from his back paw on the way home. I called kindness to let them know and ask what to do and the lady on the phone seemed annoyed when I mentioned my dogs name. After looking my dog over completely there is marks on his legs where it seems as if they tied him down to the table. I will never bring him back to this place. I will continue to drive 35 mins out of my way to a vet that cares about my dogs well being and trims his nails right in front of me with out my dog having to wear a muzzle. Read Less

Dr. Carver and staff are very knowledgeable and very friendly. My cat required surgery and they were great throughout the entire process. From pre-op through recovery they were available and truly cared. When you call Kindness to make an appointment they always seem to get you in to see the doctor right away. Every pet is treated as a priority. Read Less

I love this place. I always feel like my fur babies are in good hands and everyone is very friendly. Not the cheapest place, but I do feel like you are paying for the extra love and compassion they give to the animals and their owners :) Read Less

The vet and staff are very friendly, but services are VERY expensive. Also vet pushes unnecessary procedures that cost 2-3 times more than other local vets. 3 stars because they are good people, but if you want equal care at much better pricing, then shop around! Read Less

I brought my cat Camille in last week because she was not feeling well. Dr. Isaacson found that she had swallowed a toy bell . Dr. Isaacson performed surgery that very day, and now Camille is recovering well with pain meds and antibiotics. Dr. Isaacson and the staff at Kindness East are awesome. Very compassionate, and they are an AAHA hospital. The most excellent and competent veterinary care available. Read Less

We moved to Cape Coral in May 2016 with our 3 dogs.  We immediately sought a vet clinic as a priority.  We were fortunate to find Kindness and a particular vet with whom we immediate felt comfortable with and who made our dogs a priority.  Within a couple of months, that vet left the practice (or was forced out?) very suddenly.  We were not given any information as to where that vet went or why.  We were devastated but still needed care for our aging pets.  Unfortunately, the replacement was NOTHING like the original and things deterioted quickly in my opinion.  Instead of an energetic, aggressive and leading edge approach, we were paired with a cold, clinical, fee hungry individual who seemed to care less about the patient and more about the money and the clock as it pertained to her schedule.  At times she was condescending and judgemental and seems to not give much care to what we said and more about what she thought as the authority.  I'm surprised she even remembered ours pet's name.A recent trip with our pet who had stopped eating and was experiencing gastrointestinal issues resulted in over $500 in various tests (blood work, abdominal ultrasound and more) only to be told she didn't know what was wrong!  A neighbor's dog with the same symptoms at another clinic was told it was from fertilizer ingestion, common at this time of the year, and got treated for less than $150.  Our dog had a history of cancer of the abdominal tissue, not the abdominal cavity, and we feel the vet overreacted due to this.  Just our opinion.Their facilities are old and outdated.  Exam rooms are tiny and very clinical.  They are way overpriced and charge for any and every conceivable thing.  Office visit charges are charged each time you walk in even if it's an ongoing treatment that hasn't been fully diagnosed.  In my opinion this is unfair and unwarranted.The only good thing I have to say for them is that they responded quickly to our request to have our pets records transferred to another vet clinic where our original vet ended up moving to. The only reason  we gave 2 stars as opposed to 1 is for the few months our original vet was with the practice before leaving to go elsewhere...smart move as it turns out! Read Less

We have been patients at Kindness for 5 years now. We've given them all our business and have spent thousands. Although they were always nice and took care our needs i think this is why i was so shocked that they actually turned us away. Our dog got a severe cut that they said needed staples and stitches. She was in pain already there and they would not touch her because we didn't have $200! I understand its a busuness but if they really were "Kindness" they would have worked with us.. Really ? Leave her literally bleeding to death in thier office.. Funny ...if they found a stray outside the door that needed a $2000 surgery they would do it for publicity!!! I just want to say " very disappointed" sad how money means more to that doctor than my dogs life!!! Read Less

I have been going to Kindness for a few years. Dr. Carver is the best vet. I wouldn't take my animals anywhere else. She is loving, caring and takes her time to explain all options. Fluffy loves her and the entire staff! Read Less

We initially brought our now 10 year old Labrador retriever here 2 years ago after moving to Cape Coral from Connecticut.We now have three labs all clients of Dr. Morgan and the friendly animal loving staff at Kindness.  They have treated our oldest through two cancer episodes.  Welcomed and helped to heal our shy rescue from Lee County.  Plus, they keep allowing my terror back into their office!   I have always had every procedure explained beforehand and estimates were fairly exact.My dogs range in age and personality but Dr. Morgan, Frank and the rest of the staff can relate to each of them in a calm manner.  Everyone at Kindness truly cares about your pet.  The dogs are not afraid to go to the vet, or be boarded overnight.

I moved to the area and needed a new vet. I seen an advertisement for Kindness and took my dog there. Vet visits with a distressed dog are very trying for both the pet and owner so it took me quite a few visits to discover how pushy this vet is for surgeries and expensive treatments that might be completely unnecessary. My dog had a tumor poking out of her cooter. Not knowing what it was I took her in. They diagnosed it, and told me tumors are tricky and they didn't want to be the ones to do the spay surgery and recommended a specialist. The tumor when back inside on its own and we decided that at 10 years old we didn't want to put her through surgery so we'd make her comfy. A couple months later, she had a high fever and was acting lethargic. I immediately took her to Kindness and she was diagnosed with pyometra. They took X-rays, but oddly enough, never said whether it was opened or closed, just that she needed a $1600 surgery and she might not survive it but they were more than willing to try (yet months before they didn't want perform the surgery to spay her and told me to take her to a specialist? I guess since the odds weren't the greatest this time of her surviving they didn't mind trying to take my money). I was extremely upset and distraught, they kept trying to push care credit on me so I'd give the green light for the surgery and they also told me at that time the X-rays showed her tumors may be cancerous and had possibly metastasized to her lungs--it wasn't definitive, but the vet said in her personal opinion my dog had 6-8 months to live if she was able to make it through the pyometra surgery because of the cancer. With everything stacked against her, I told my vet I'd like to give her antibiotics and take her home to say our goodbyes and we'd have her euthanized if she got worse. Remarkably, she immediately got better with the antibiotic. (All my research said pyometra is nearly impossible without surgery, and she's had another heat without it recurring, so I have to wonder if she was misdiagnosed?) Fast forward 5 months, my dog had appeared fine, happy and healthy until she came down with a horrible cough. Took her right in, could hear a crackle when she'd breathe. They diagnosed her via X-ray (and then doubted the tumors were cancerous because her lungs hadn't gotten worse) with a collapsing trachea and a heart murmur. She was coughing so hard she also had a prolapsed vagina. They told me it'd be $4-500 to put her vagina back in, and that i'd want to do it within a week. Never told me what to do about keeping the exposed vaginal tissue healthy. Prescribed antibiotic, cough medicine, and never did anything about the heart murmur. Once she started taking the cough medicine, her coughing wasn't as bad, but was still present and her cooter went back in on its own, but she was still coughing and had crackles when she'd breathe. After a few weeks of it not getting any better with the medication I decided it was time for a second opinion because the treatment kindness provided wasn't working. The new vet immediately diagnosed her with a stage 3 heart murmur and told me she should have been put on a heart medication and a diuretic when she was seen at kindness because all her current problems were stemming from that. They also said in her condition, they would NOT consider her to be a candidate for any kind of surgery, but yet, kindness was always pushing for them and my dog never needed them in the end. Suffice to say, $50 later at the new vet, (who had the same goal as my dog and I of keeping her comfortable until the end-and he stated she had some good quality time left) we both left happy. My dog has taken her new medications every 12 hours for the last few months and has been so happy and full of life you'd never know she has any medical conditions.Read Less

My cat has not been feeling good for a few days, and being late on a Saturday I called Kindness Animal Hospital.  I was given an appointment for Sunday morning first thing. I can not say enough about the Dr Arlyne Salcedo and staff. This was my first visit to them and my kitty was treated so well. He is on the road to recovery and I just had to express how appreciated I was of every one there. I have found a wonderful and honest vet in the Cape. Read Less

DO NOT GO HEREthe desk staff was very friendly, however, the doctor was a nightmare, gave a half baked exam on my dog, and claimed that was ample. my dog was very sick and she had absolutly no compassion or bedside manner. when i complained to the owner, she told me to go elsewhere. they dont stand by their name "kindness" by any means. Read Less

Wonderful experience, I'm glad I ended up at Kindness!!! Receptionists were very friendly on the phone and answered all of my questions, and just as friendly in person.Techs and Dr were very friendly also. Tech who wasn't helping us that day came over to say hello to my dog. The tech who was helping us, Liza, and Dr. Salcedo were so nice and helpful!!! They didn't make me feel like crap for letting my dogs issue go a little longer than it should have before I brought her in. They explained everything well and gave me options and estimates. They genuinely wanted to care for my pet and make her feel better, but were compassionate towards my concerns and what would work best for me too. All around  great experience and I will definitely be following up there in the future for all needs!! Read Less

They are the most expensive Vet around. There are so many other options to choose from. They are certainly nice enough, yet so are the others.. and at a better price for the same service. Why pay extra when you don't have to? Read Less
