Apologizes in advance for the long review, but I cant say enough of how amazing UF Small Animal Hospital is. After my 8yr old boxer was diagnosed with a Pitutary Brain tumor, I immediately started trying to find him a radiologist to get to. I went to Cancer Vets in Bonita Springs and was highly disappointed, as they were cold, impersonal, didnt review his MRI or talk in detail about his condition. I frantically tried to make an appointment with UF, as it was the week before Memorial Day. They didnt have an opening for the Radiologist, however, they got me in with the Oncology Medical team. From the moment I walked in to the front desk, I was comforted and saw the care the entire staff had. The young lady that took us to the room was so engaging with my dog and loving on him the entire time. Then the first Vet Student, Michael, came in, and again, the compassion was evident. My dog immediately took to him! Then Dr. Fox came in and spent over an hour with us, explaining everything! She educated us on his condition, what we could expect and then what treatment plans we could take. She ensured we were comfortable with the decision I was making. From then on, I knew this was the place I would trust with my dog. Fast-forward almost 5 weeks, 20rounds of radiation, multiple 3hr trips to pick him up for the weekends, he is home! On his last day there, I even teared up because of how thankful I was and am of everything they have done. They called me a minimum of 2x per day to update me, made arrangements for me to have him dropped off on the weekends and multiple calls from the vets to talk through his progress. He has a follow-up appointment in the next few weeks and I know he will be excited to see his friends again! Thank you for taking care of my little man and providing me peace of mind that he was in the best possible hands. I would recommend everyone and anyone to go to your facility to get support! I know I left out several pivotal people in this review, however, they were all absolutely remarkable. I truly cant say enough of how much I appreciate you all. Read Less
