Geneva Oaks Animal Hospital

Excellent veterinary care provided at a very fair cost. Dr. does not suggest unnecessary costly treatments as is that case with many other practices. Very pleased with the care we have received here. Read Less

Dr. Jourdeanais takes the time to explain what is going on and offers honest thoughtful advice. We have taken many of our pets to Geneva Oaks including Cats, Dogs, Birds and even rabbits. Pricing is always fair and as we run our own business we appreciate that we always get us in quickly. We've moved further from Geneva a few years back and after trying other vets in Brevard, we have gone back to Dr. Jourdeanais after receiving questionable care, long waits and high costs at other vets.

Best place ever!!! So nice, takes the time to makes sure everything is understood. I cant believe the dummy before me thinks his dog got bacterial spinal meningitis from s heartworm test. I called University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine.... that said that's impossible.Read Less

My dog was terrified at Geneva Oaks, I should have listened to him. Three (3) weeks after routine blood work to renew heartworm preventative he contracted meningitis. Coincidence? After 7 days at UF the spinal tap fluid revealed it was bacteria related, not tick nor mosquito. So I will never know how he contracted it, a short time later I lost him...Barely 7 years old, he was my Best Man at our wedding & my best friend. We were together 24/7..Heartbroken Forever Read Less

David Jourdenais is an excellent vet! He is really great with reptiles and he has seen all of my Bearded Dragons, and he has helped them out tremendously each time. He is extremely knowledgeable and very easy going. Also the office is very clean and has a welcoming feel to it. I live about an hour away and it is well worth the drive. This is the only vet I will ever use for my reptiles! Read Less

Love him, love the staff ! I have birds, dogs and cats and he has seen and helped them all. When I had to put down my weimaraner this year who was 14 years old the staff and Dr. Dave were very sensitive to the situation. I highly recommend Dr. Dave to anyone looking for a great vet with a small town feeling. Read Less

Unfortunately, we would not recommend Geneva Oaks Boarding/Vet to anyone. They are very sweet and kind, but not professional and thorough when it comes to communication regarding your dog. We brought our dog in for 3 days while we were on vacation. He was dropped off with no concerns, but when we picked him up 3 days later, he was lethargic and not walking. We thought he was really tired and upset that we left him (he doesn't get boarded on a regular basis). The owner gave him a quick bath because "he had poop on his butt" which we thought was bizarre. He was handed to my daughter and never walked again. Nothing was mentioned about the fact that he had diarrhea for 2 days and seemed uncomfortable on his backside. He continued to not be well the following day so my husband called Geneva and the office manager said he was fine, not problems at all- this was not accurate I found out 10 days later when he was put to sleep because he was suffering. There is much more to this story, but it is too devastating to write it all here. The saddest part is that our dog is gone after 2 weeks after he stayed at Geneva Oaks due to lack of communication. They have now changed their stories and are accepting no responsibility in his passing. I hope the communication/policies have improved since our loss. Read Less

I have lived in Chuluota for over 30 years & consequently have become acquainted with numerous veterinary practices in the area. I have found the quality of medicine and ethics to vary significantly amongst them. With Dr David, I always experienced the peace of mind of knowing my animals are in capable hands and will receive excellent care. He has saved the life of my daughter's cat twice (it lived to a ripe age of 24 years), he delicately removed a tumor from our tiny Zebra finch (still alive today), he has even been opened minded enough to approve my use of an experimental drug, which saved the eye of a rescue kitten I was fostering. I have found he & his staff to be kind, supportive, compassionate when having to put my pet to sleep, open minded in considering alternative treatments, cost considerate, honest and ethical. If he feels a situation is beyond his level of expertise, he has no problem referring one onto a specialist. With my background in pharmaceutical sales, private medical practice, clinical research, plus a Masters level education involving animal research- I feel fortunate that I am often able to differentiate appropriate from inappropriate care. I have experienced other veterinary practices prescribe inappropriate medications -example an ear wash containing a steroid but no antibiotic for a bacterial ear infection in my Great Dane. When I lifted their prescribing label, & discovered the omission, I called them on it. I was left opened mouth with their excuse- they were out of the appropriate medication that day. Obviously I learned what their priorities were and it wasn't my pet's welfare. My neighbor (seeing a different vet in the area), just recently had a similar experience with his Labrador. The prescribed medication was supposed to be for a yeast infection- yet his dog's ear was not improving. I asked to see the container so I could examine the ingredients- and upon inspection, discovered it only contained an antibacterial component. I suggested he return it and ask for the appropriate medication, which should also contain an antimycotic. He did and the vet not only charged him for another visit, but the correct medication which should have been prescribed to begin with. Wow! Was this just sloppy medicine, a lack of integrity/ownership for an error, or a deliberate way of generating more revenue? All of the above? I have never had this issue to worry about with Dr David. If you are continually having to return to your vet and being sold a bunch of stuff- be wary. Although I do not consider Dr David cheap ... you truly get what you pay for. His integrity, quality of care and commitment to your animals welfare will always shine through. Read Less

I have been with Geneva Oaks Animal Hospital since they opened, all of my animals have been cared for by the good doctors, Jourdenais'. The care is continuously excellent. I always know my animals are in the very best hands. I would not consider another doctor for my dogs, cats, livestock, birds, or exotics. You are NOT just another client here. The humans are treated very well too. Read Less

This is the very best Vet's office ever. Dr. Jourdenais  is really amazing and my dogs love him! His prices are very fair and his staff is always friendly and caring. Dr. David also specializes in exotic animals and is well known for his knowledge of birds. I highly recommend Geneva Oaks to anyone who is looking for the best vet around. Read Less

We've used Geneva Oaks for 15 years.  Dr. Jourdenais is outstanding, his staff is great, and the prices are reasonable.  What more can you ask for?  They also have a boarding facility on site, which we have used numerous times over the years boarding our dogs when we went out of town on vacation.I highly recommend Geneva Oaks - they are professional, attentive and trustworthy.

If you have any reptiles for pets, I highly suggest you go see Dr. Jourdenais. He is an excellent vet for reptiles (well, for any animals, as we take our cats there, too) but he specializes in reptiles. We were referred there by a friend of ours, who is a vet who works in Tampa. Mike (our friend) went to vet school with Dr. David (Dr. J) and said that he was so brilliant that Dr. David actually corrected the professors and his own papers after he got them back and showed the professors that his answers were, in fact, wrong. Yes, he is that brilliant. He has always been very down to earth and takes time to explain everything about our animals, and a bonus, doesn't make you feel stupid when he explains things (I've had too many experiences with vets with huge egos). He is very gentle with any animals that he is examining and is very thorough. Oh, and he's quite reasonable in price, actually the most reasonably priced vet we have seen. And we have seen a lot since we have 4 cats, 2 reptiles, a fish pond (outside), a rabbit, and used to have 2 turtles. His office was built to mimic a farm house so it has a homey feel to it. Geneva Oaks is a breath of fresh air and they've got our business. Read Less
