Coastal Animal Clinic

Very good experience.  Took our dog here yesterday and the staff was professional and considerate.  The doctor and technician spent an ample amount of time diagnosing Maddie's issues and offered to run some in-house tests.  Around 30 minutes later, Maddie's problems were diagnosed and they seem to have found a solution to correct her issues.  They administered meds on-site. I took our girl home and I am happy to report, she is doing much much better.  I felt their charges were reasonable for helping our dog.  Thank you Coastal Animal Clinic. Read Less

They are the best vet ever! We took our 15 year old dog to see Dr. Certa, wow... Super friendly and caring. We had taken her to another vet who barely looked at her, and wanted to run all these insane tests that with her condition could have killed her. Dr. Certa and the tech gave her a proper exam. The ONLY complaints I have is the price of some of the medications, and wait time. Read Less

The staff and veterinarians at Costal Animal Clinic in Largo are absolutely amazing! They are so kind caring. Their compassion extends beyond the animals to include the owners and families. They have been willing to help us work through any issues that we have come upon with kindness and patience. We have an emotional support dog who is very sensitive and has some special needs himself. They work diligently to help us all be happy and comfortable. Of all the vets we've ever used they have by far exceeded any expectations. We are so thankful that we found them! Read Less

I’ve had nothing but a great experience taking my dogs to Coastal Animal Clinic. Always satisfied. All the staff are friendly, understanding, and knowledgeable. Always eager to help and it shows that they care. Read Less

I love this clinic SO much. I have been bringing my pets here for over 3 years now and I couldn’t be happier. Your staff is always great, it’s always super easy to make an appointment and I know that my animals will be treated with the utmost respect and love and I will always get a very straight forward health action plan. Thank you for everything that you do! Read Less

Absolutely awesome caring sweet staff!! They take their time to not only educate you on your new pet, but they also make sure you understand & answer any questions. They are sweet & kind to your pet & handle them compassionately & respectfully & are very gentle. Very happy with this genuine caring group of veterinarians. I drive far over an hour to take Bella to get her well checks & vaccinations. Read Less

Love this office! Both Doctors are fantastic. I took my pup there for her initial exam and after seeing how good they were decided to take my older dog in too. I was hesitant because she is extremely nervous going to the vet and can get aggressive. I always recommend they muzzle her prior to doing anything. Most places insist on trying without a muzzle initially and it never works. She is well behaved at home but stress makes her aggressive. The dr listened to me the first time I advised using a muzzle and he performed the exam without a problem. Our previous vet prescribed a sedative for vet visits which we gave her an hour prior to coming in but it did not take effect until we got home. After telling the vet we gave it to her beforehand but it had not taken effect yet he said we did not need to do so and that her reaction is normal. I appreciated that he was not afraid of her and was very calm about the situation. I also appreciate that they give printed estimates for the cost everything prior to performing any tests or treatments. Their prices are incredible as well. Truly a fantastic place for primary vet care! Read Less

Dr. Serta killed my cat by giving him an overdose by needle causing his renal system to fail. He caused my cat to suffer in a way no pet owner would want to see. He died at blue pearl emergency hospital. An autopsy would have shown how he died. Fact is most pet owners do not get autopsy s I reported serta to Florida licensing board. They investigated and cleared him. He is a dog person. CAT OWNERS DO NOT TRUST THIS DOCTOR WITH OLDER CATS. Read Less

I love that we have FINALLY found a Clinic that is not afraid to deal with Big Dogs! We have 3 German Shepherd's that are from Europe..finally Dr's that get it!

This is the best Vet Clinic & Staff We have ever dealt with..Thank you for caring Read Less

We took our one year old cat to this vet for the first time yesterday. The office is clean, and the front desk staff is very nice. One of the techs spent some time with me answering some questions about their practice and their procedures, as we have another cat who is very aggressive when going to the vet, And we want to find a vet for all of our animals. They made me feel very comfortable knowing that they are comfortable dealing with difficult kitties. As for this cat, he needed some blood work and a basic exam. They were quick and gentle when working with him. We received a free exam for being new clients. The prices for all of the other tests are comparable to other vets we have visited over the years. Our only gripe is the exam room is a little small, however, I imagine we were in an exam room only used for cats, and there are bigger rooms for larger animals. Over all, a good experience. This will be our new vet. Read Less

Coastal Animal Clinic has changed a lot! I love the new staff! Everyone was super helpful, and caring! I came in on a busy day WITHOUT an appointment, and they still fit me in because of my concerns for my dog. Alex went above and beyond to make me and my dog feel comfortable. I couldn't have felt better about my last visit! Thanks to all staff!!!!! Read Less

We started years ago with Dr Molina when it was Andes Animal Hospital. We have such faith and trust in Dr Molina, we knew anyone he brought into his practice would be as awesome as he is. Dr Certa is wonderful as is everyone else on staff. We couldn't be happier with the excellent care our precious furry family receives. Read Less

This is not the same clinic it used to be. I don't live near this clinic, but made the drive each time my dogs needed to be seen over the years. Since Dr. Molina is only available part-time, the quality of care has suffered. The higher charges and multiple recommendations are one thing, but the lack of expertise and professionalism by Dr. Certa is unacceptable! My dog had blood tests done and after receiving the results which were inconclusive, I received a call that I needed to bring him in for an exam and urinalysis which was quoted under $100 as I had already spent nearly $200 on the bloodwork (and I was informed by Dr. Certa that I should not listen to an assistant because they don't know what they're talking about). It's not the cost I'm upset about, it's the lack of attention and caring that was not received. When I showed up for my appt., I was asked why I was there, so I explained. When we were taken back to the room, I again was asked why I was there. No one seemed to know what I had been told on the phone. Then when I told the vet that my dog was snippy with me, he was not comfortable with him at all and appeared to be afraid he might bite him, even though I reassured him he had never bitten anyone at the clinic before or even attempted to. I have never seen a vet less comfortable with an animal before. Dr. Molina had always been extremely comfortable with him and all of his assistants too (the ones that had been there a long while and were very, very adept and helpful). My dog was even more responsive to them than to me!!! So after a "non-exam" as I call it, because there was no initial check of temperature, eyes, ears, skin, etc. only a quick feel of the abdomen and I was told because the dog was "tense" he couldn't really feel for what he needed to feel for. Long story short, after a long wait for the results (I could have dropped it off!) I told them that I was not paying for an exam my dog didn't receive, only the urinalysis. The vet came back in and we argued back and forth about what had transpired, with him being very rude, unprofessional, and threatening to refuse to tell me the results of the urinalysis stating that he legally didn't have to and began to walk out of the door. So I told him that I legally wasn't paying for a test that he was refusing to give me the results of. He was visibly shaking and out of control and admitted he was extremely upset. He then calmed down and did the exam that should have been done initially and explained the results of the urinalysis to me, recommending even more tests and an ultrasound to "rule out" the possibility of what may have been indicated. So it was a very upsetting and frustrating experience to say the least. I will give him credit for following through finally, but I am not returning to this vet ever! I will only return to Dr. Molina when he is available. I am used to dealing with professionals that know how to handle both pets and customers! I'm looking for a new vet closer to home. Not spending any more of my hard-earned money on this type of care! I will miss the office workers and assistants, but this vet is not anyone I care to have treating my dogs. Read Less

The staff at Coastal Animal Clinic is extremely friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They saved the life of my rescued Maltese by removing her extremely infected uterus and caring for her skin condition caused by an allergic reaction to multiple flea bites. I have returned twice without appointments with questions about her skin and/or medications. Both times I was greeted with a smile, never felt rushed and was not charged. I left feeling confident with the answers I received and my dog has improved greatly under their care. I plan on trying the grooming services soon now that her hair is growing back. From what I understand the owner of this clinic works to help rescue groups which says a lot to me. Read Less

The doctors and staff at Coastal Animal Clinic are wonderful and will take care of your baby as if they were their own! I'm very happy and please with the way they take care of me and my concerns as well as my baby Peeches! Thanks to you all! Read Less

I have been taking my "four legged" family to this clinic for many years to see Dr. Molina. I live in North Clearwater and I feel it is well worth the drive for the great care my dog receives. I trust Dr Molina has confidently transitioned his life work to the hands of Dr Certa. I wish them both much success!! Read Less

Dr Molina is the best Vet in the Tampa Bay area........he treated my pets like the humans I thought they were - I cannot even begin to express my endless thanks to this doctor........he was God's blessing to the animals he cared for and a gift to the people who came to him for help..........there just is not enough praise that I can give to Dr Molina - he is without a doubt what every aspiring veterinarian should strive to be.

I first brought my Yorkies in a few years ago and I have been coming back ever since. We love coastal animal clinic. They all love on my animals and make us feel like family. I recommend all animals to come to them for loving care. Read Less

Andes is a chill spot. My 75lb boxer and 5lb Chihuahua are both well taken care of. Between meds, and personal care, and all of it, they have always done a top notch job. Why didn't they get 5 stars? Aside from my Chihuahua's castration, they can be expensive as hell. I pay 2 times as much as if I went to a low cost vet or some other clinics. That is my only beef.. Keep on rockin' Read Less

I absolutely LOVE the staff at Coastal! Kim, Melissa and Trent up front are always super welcoming and friendly. Roxanne in grooming is super sweet and always seems to be in a good mood. Jose is a wonderful vet tech and is always helpful. And of course Dr. Certa and Dr. Melina make it so I will never ever go anywhere else. They both are caring and understanding as well as down to earth and easy going. Read Less

As a first time cat owner, I brought my male kitten in to be thoroughly checked out, get all his shots and to get him "fixed" to avoid any problems down the road. I was very impressed, not only with the quality of care but the explanations and after care was over the top. Thank you for taking such good care of my little Leo. Read Less

Clean, professional, super caring. Office is older, staff is helpful and they are nice and accommodating . Dr. Molina is intuitive and thorough and really knows his medicine. Dr. Certa worked through his lunch to help my dog with odd symptoms. Neither tried to up sell me, in fact, they tried to see me money. Always a follow-up call by the doctor. Great neighborhood vet!Read Less

I have been going to Andes for years now and they have always treated me and my pets great. Dr. Molina and his staff have always been professional and nice. He always answers my questions and is willing to take the time to talk to me. They are a compassionate caring group. Yes it can be expensive but taking care of your pets is not cheap where ever you go.Read Less

Dr Certa is amazing! I took my boy in for a simple biopsy and after consideration, the tumor was removed as well. Of course, a sample is being sent for testing however; Dr. Certa assured me to wait for the results and take action from there. What really stunned me the most was the mindset of Dr. Certa. I am not medically inclined in any way-I'm a teacher and have always told students there are no stupid questions. Previously, I've had Vets who "rolled their eyes" over viable questions raised by me and my children. Dr. Certa took my questions seriously and answered with examples and reason. I do know that Vets require extensive learning for their profession (more than human doctors) yet, Dr. Certa is so personable-not haughty or pretentious. I felt extremely comfortable consulting him on every facet of my dog's aftercare. In fact, Dr. Certa was in touch with me several hours later when I had more questions and took time to teach and reassure me. Thank you Dr. Certa for this experience. I trust my Big Mo will heal beautifully.Read Less

My first visit was great. Very polite staff and pricing is very reasonable. I drive 1 hour and 30 minutes to see Dr. Molina. It is well worth the drive. I have shopped around with so many veterinarians and local known pet stores. All they want to do is up sell me to there plans and products that I don't need. I highly recommend giving them a try, you won't regret it.Read Less
