Caution with this vet and vet clinic for these below reasons: 1. If your pet is heat intolerant, be careful as this vet will only work with clients on the front porch (no clients are allowed to come into the vet clinic). When I requested a special accommodation for my senior pet who is disabled and heat intolerant to come inside where there is AC, Dr. Siegel said I was being pushy (despite my only asking one time). This time of year (Spring/Summer) the afternoons in this part of Florida are at least 90 degrees outside. 2. Office manager (Alyssa) who is Dr. Siegel’s daughter is not friendly and will not speak to you on the phone. She only will deal with clients via email and can be rude with snippy comments despite my genuine questions. The problem with their staff wanting to deal with you via email mainly is that there were two separate times that I had not have received email responses after a week would pass meanwhile you are concerned for the health of your pet as you wait and need their specific help. 3. When you first contact the office about an appointment, you will be promptly and rudely told that you have to first take Dr. Siegel’s mandatory Pet Parent Education course ($ 200) as they won’t even speak to you or talk to you even if you are just trying to first find out about certain accommodations with a special needs pet. 4. Although I was okay with taking the Pet Parent Education course for $ 200, I was also told before arriving one would also need to have a $ 250 online/phone pre appointment with Dr. Siegel as well. So, you are initially investing about $ 450 without your pet ever being touched/treated. In my opinion, if people are to be involved with healthcare, they should be kind especially when you are dealing with the stress of a pet who is struggling with a chronic and possible life threatening issue.

Ingrid, the truth is we would not accept you as a client because you were belligerent, rude, disrespectful and not truthful. We spent an ungodly amount of time in the past few months trying to help you over the phone and through email to no avail. No matter what we offered you, you were not happy. My clinic is 6 hours away from you. There are literally thousands of veterinarians closer to you. It is sad that no veterinarian near you will work with you, but I clearly see why. Last night your behavior became so egregious, I finally had to intervene and tell you we were not willing to accept you as a client EVER. You became furious that I refused to work with you so you are taking your anger and frustration out by trying to damage my reputation with utter lies. I CHOSE not to work with you for this very behavior and I never even met you! You want to be a victim, but the reality is you are creating all the negative energy, YOU are the problem. All veterinarians and their staff work endless hours to serve the patients they love. Fortunately we deal with wonderful pet parents who love and cherish their fur babies AND appreciate the veterinary industry, all those dedicated people who put their heart and soul into their patients. Your comments above are so dishonest it is shocking you could write it, let alone believe it. Your stress does NOT give you permission to be abusive to others. The real victim here is your sweet innocent fur child. I wish Chloe all the best.

I sadly don't live close by Dr. Siegle's clinic, but with the help of Dr. Siegle & her staff, and a local vet in my area open to new procedures, we are making this work. I have two 'fur babies', both of which have had issues. Jake, at the time only a year old, was having horrible skin issues. The vet I was seeing locally at the time had no diagnosis or treatment for it. What??!! That's when my search began. I was blessed to find Dr. Siegle! I took her pet parent course (Transforming Veterinary Medicine) which I HIGHLY recommend, and my world was changed! Not to go into lengthy detail, Dr. Siegle worked with me long distance and in a very short time (a few weeks) Jake's skin was cleared up & the problem has not re-occurred. He is on EvoLove raw diet & supplements and doing great! My other dog Isaac, is pushing 14 years and currently having some issues. To date Isaac has had full wellness bloodwork done; some issues have been identified; Dr. Siegle has consulted with me and my local vet about treatment; and her clinic has provided us with supplementation. This kind of service can be very difficult for vets & clinics to provide, but Dr. Siegle and her staff, and Dr. Young in Piedmont AL, have gone above and beyond to make this work! I highly recommend taking Dr. Siegle's Pet Parent Course at Transforming Veterinary Medicine! It will likely change forever the way you feed and care for your animals! Read Less

i still think i am having a bad dream. after complaining i never received any response what so ever so after several days i also gave a several day warning before making any commentsthis office may be good for treating sick dogs with alternative medical treatments, but i must say it has been my worst experience that i have had. i went to the pasco vet office for possible future natural care. when i went in i was sold by the dr. siegals daughter on a consultation up to two hours for $155 and i could have all of my questions answered and go over what i am feeding my dog and all other health-related issues. i love my little 6 lb chihuahua or i would never have done this i really wanted to know all i could to take the best care of him. dr. siegal motivation was to sell services only not just a consultation but at several hundred more in services, some i may have gone for but on a separate appointment  when i did not jump at that moment and buy her services, the dr. had no interest in me or my dog and did not even say goodbye after out 45 to 50 min. sort of like a car salesman he looses interest if the sale is not made on that first visisti always am flexible when making appointments  i do not squeeze a busy person rushing so i booked an appointment and the times got mixed up so by two hours i left and came back and waited over an hour i decided to reschedule since i was tired after my initial two error than another hour wait, even though the doctor agreed to squeeze me in, but i wanted  a relaxed consultation. i went in with my dog up to date and with a recent physical. here is the shocker i am still in disbelief what transpired and what i received a waste and terrible consult i was given. dr siegal was giving me a sales presentation, on her services and mentioned several times that she would have her on food on the market soon.   i had prepared with all my dog food  wrappers cleaned and in a folder and a file with my dogs veterinarian records. the doctor also knew i just watched 7 hours of a dog video on preventing dog cancer. dr gave me a science lecture  on internal mechanisms of digestion, which would have been good for a science class. i had a good idea about theses concepts i am very well aware of natural eating i lived with natural health practitioner dr for years. the worst part the dr only glanced at one of my wrappers of snacks when i handed it to her and made one brief comment and she would never have even looked at his records had i not almost forced them on her. i was very concerned about his vaccines. at one point she mentioned one ear has was and he may have an infection and left it at that, great where do i go now? when i left the office i called and said to her daughter and said i never even found out about if my heartworm medicine is healthy and in a very rushed manner said we  sell heartworm topical and some yo take, now id min good ?? i have a supply of it, i still do not know.  i believe in as much natural medicine as possible and would give my dog natural remedies. i felt this office was a money magnet people with sick dogs may get results and i am sure pay the price. when i wrote an email an email and asked for the price list i was emailed a paper illegible because it a not meant for me only a sales tool while in the office. i was also promised links to some of what she spoke about and after i asked for the links i was sent a link for natural meat for humans and other links to but natural food and supplements for people and some of which was commissionable to the doctor, nothing for dogs Read Less

You are a stalker and a pervert. You had no intention of getting help for your pet. You came trying to hit on me and I shut you down immediately. You were so creepy I had my receptionist stay in the room the entire time you were there so we could document everything. Every attempt you tried to "get back at me" has failed. So sad you rely on pathetic lies to justify your gross behavior.

I was referred to Dr. Siegel by Joyce at NATURES PET LOSS in Brooksville. I had a "Fur Baby" a Golden Retriever of almost 15 yrs. She was rapidly declining where she couldn't get around with out my guidance she was blind or nearly blind and her body was very frail. I was told by several that this is a long life span for a Golden retriever. I knew I had to let her go to heaven "The Rainbow Bridge" as much as it hurt. I spoke with Joyce a very loving person animal lover at Pet Care Loss in Brooksville and she reassured me this is where you want to take her. to let her rest in peace. I was so upset that I had to do this but knew it was for the Best for her. I explained to Dr. Siegel how she could hardly even get around, Dr. Siegel was so understanding she said to call her when I arrived and she would come out to the car so I did, her and I believe the other young lady is Ashley came out side to my car explained everything thoroughly and told me to hold her head and pet her and tell her all that I felt in my 💓 so I said another prayer and told her how I love her so... but it is her time to go to heaven to The Rainbow Bridge so you don't have to suffer any longer and I will meet you there someday. Like I said the Dr. And Ashley are so compassionate, they gave her a injection to relax her first and then sent her to HEAVEN PEACEFULLY! She closed her eyes and went to sleep. Her name is PRINCESS and she certainly is a princess! I then took her to Joyce at NATURES PET LOSS for Aqua Cremation! Joyce at NATURES PET LOSS in Brooksville, Fl. is also a ANGEL for all the compassion, loving ways she is taking care of Our Fur Baby. God Bless these beautiful lady's for making this as easy as possible. I will forever be so grateful. Tina, TJ and PRINCESS. Thank you Dr. Siegel for the precious response you wrote to me.

Today was my first time taking Oscar, my 8 year old cockapoo to see Dr. Siegel. I am always a little insure when going somewhere new, however, I had done some research prior and was excited about the appointment. Oscar was diagnosed withan enlarged heart and significant murmur involcing the mitral valve about 1 year ago or so. I was told that he had infiltrate of some kind in his lungs and that he had high blood pressure. My vet wanted to follow the protocol and wanted to put him on Vetmedin. I didn’t do that but did go to a follow up appointment where I did agree to blood pressure medication and Lasix. I was feeding him and limited ingredient grain free food because he had a tendency to have very loose stools on any other kind of food. This diet wasn’t his favorite but it did regulate his stool. As I was looking into better ways for my family to eat, I began to think about Oscar. I didn’t like the side effects of the meds he was on and I had no way of knowing what he was feeling. I looked up holistic veterinarians and found Dr. Siegel. She talked about many things that I was already reading about which was confirmation that I was on he right track. I want to make sure that I mention that everyone that I met today or had spoken with on the phone was so friendly. It can be hard to find the office because it is behind a shopping plaza, but it can be found. Also, my car had no trouble in the parking lot. This is for the pot hole comments. The office was beautiful and very clean. Dr. Siegel showed me her recommendations and told me about the treatments that they provide. I was under no pressure at any time. Also, she spent a good amount of time with me and Oscar and explained everything. She is thorough. The staff spent a good amount if time with us as well. They are very knowledgeable. I chose to start where I could, with diet. I will be doing more. I will definitely be going back. Thank you Pasco Veterinary Medical Center!! Read Less

Worst experience ever! If there is 1/2 star or 0 star, I will give 0 star. They asked to copy the dog’s entire files without even look into our dog, my gut feeling this place is trying to get as much as possible any unnecessary problems that they can dig into your pet's medical history as an excuse for your pet's health. They are asking dog’s birth certificate, after we already told them the exact birth date. The nurse staff is very rude, but the receptionist is nice. Usually the doctor and staffs will see your pet closely, and pet them them but they interest more into dog’s files. I agree with some of the reviewers here, this place will charge with anything to have an excuse to treat your pets. Be careful with this place, we will never comeback nor give any recommendation at all. Run....don't even think to bring your pets here. Read Less

Worst Vet experience of my life - and we never even got in to see the Dr. This place was hard to find. No street signage. Down a back alley with several very, very large potholes, down by the big junk boat. Tacky place, but nice building. But I found it! And heard good things about this vet. Inside, I wasn't sure where reception was. There was a large dog scale on the floor where I thought I should check in. After being ignored for a few minutes, I moved over to the side counter. The woman at the computer never looked up, never said hello, and I got no "Someone will be right with you." After 5 minutes of thinking my dog and I must be invisible, while I listened to the woman at the computer chat with two other women on the other side of the room, I said, "I'm not used to being this ignored!" She responded: "Saturday is a very busy day." Funny, she had time to chat with the other ladies and to say "were busy", but not "Hello". If you are to busy to acknowledge customers, you shouldn't be making appointments. I could have come anytime next week - no problem. A customer lost and a bad review, because someone didn't bother to say: "We'll be right with you." Read Less

In response to Mr. Griffith€s review, I was at Dr. Siegel€s office when you walked in today and it was a very busy day (as it usually is at a veterinary hospital on a Saturday morning). If you would have only waited a couple more minutes someone would have been right with you. I don€t feel you were intentionally ignored, everyone was just busy seeing patients that were ahead of you. I€ve been a long-standing customer of Dr. Siegel€s and have seen first-hand her love and compassion for animals, making them feel better and live happier lives. When I first found Dr. Siegel our dog was allergic to everything and had been experiencing chronic skin issues. Once our animal was in Dr. Siegel€s care, she addressed and fixed the underlying problem causing the allergy and my dog no longer experiences the condition. This is such a big deal to us because our animal is such a big part of our family. I€m sorry that your animal will not receive the benefits of being seen by a doctor that not only heals the animal but educates the owner on the root cause of the condition so they are truly healed.

I brought my kitty to Dr.Siegel with over 105 fever very distraught that it might be a very difficult experience. With Dr. Siegel's knowledge and experience, she was able to bring Sylvia's fever down to just over 103 in approximately 15 minutes with homeopathics. She also gave me clear instructions on how to continue treating her at home and by the next day her fever was back down to 101! I could hardly believe it. I could have taken her to 100 other vets who would not have given me these results. When my dog had a high fever and I went to a traditional vet, they gave her steroids which only worked temporarily and I struggled for a week with no solutions. I wish I would have taken my dog to Dr. Siegel when that happened. Now I am so happy to have her as a vet for my pets. I'm so excited to experience natural, holistic and homeopathic care that truly works. I can hardly wait to get my young cat on the raw diet they prepare here and avoid all the illnesses caussed by pet food that my former pets experienced.

Dr. Seigel has helped my cat Pebbles more than I ever thought possible. He became paralyzed after rupturing a disc in his spine and lost the use of his back legs. He is only 2 1/2 years old. He was in severe pain. I brought him back and forth to my local vet for a month treating him with pain medicine. Went to a neurologist, they said even if they agreed to do surgery he would not regain use of his legs. I drove home devastated and looked into alternative veterinary medicine. Found Dr. Seigel, made an appointment. We changed Pebbles diet, have been giving him therapy sessions using the Magnesphere, laser therapy, chiropractic adjustment, acupuncture, holistic medicines and vitamins, and after 15 visits now, Pebbles is moving his legs, can stand, moves his tail, is no longer in pain, and I know with a few more sessions he will be walking again. Dr. Seigel does not give up on pets, while others do!! She figures out the actual problem instead of just treating the symptoms. Highly recommend. I drive 50 minutes there and back twice a week because her practice actually helps animals recover from medical issues. Dr. Seigel and her staff are absolutely amazing!! Read Less

Called from work with a need to see a special vet that was referred to me by my vet. I had a sick bird that needed some attention. While on the phone trying to get an appointment the girl kept putting me on hold. When she got back on the phone she asked me if I wanted to be seen or not. I told her it was hard to me to answer that question when she kept putting me on hold. She gave me attitude like she didn't have time to talk to me or listen to my concern about my pet. I asked for her name twice she never answered me. I finally made an appointment for late afternoon 4pm after work. I told her I may be able to come sooner if I could get off sooner. She told me to call them back and let them know if that were the case. I called back at 130 told her I was off work and could make it by 3. She told me that I was to keep the 4pm appointment she gave me. She could have at least pretended that she gave a crap about the situation with my sick bird. I ended up looking up another vet that was willing to take my bird in earlier. So I called your office back at 220 and told her I was able to get in somewhere else earlier and to cancel my appointment. With her usual attitude all she said was "good luck". I work with patients on a daily basis. If I treated our patients and families this way it would not be tolerated. If you are going to be in any type of medical field at least "prentent" you give a hoot about other people and their situation. I wouldn't refer your office to anyone. I plan to go back to my vet and tell him about my horrible experience with his referral. No wonder this person wouldn't give me her name. Read Less

We love Pasco Veterinary and Dr. Siegel. After losing one dog to cancer and another to anemia a few months apart we knew we needed to change the way we were raising our dogs. We decided we wanted an alternative medicine Vet. We brought our new puppy to Dr. Siegel and it was a game changer. Everything we do today is different than what we have done before. I've even learned a few new things to improve my own health. She is always sharing new health information with us. She goes above and beyond with how much she cares about the health of animals and people. I have never been happier with a Vet and I've had pets my whole life. Late one evening my puppy had some sort of reaction to something and her face blew up and her eyes got really red. It happened so fast it was horrifying. We thought it was toad poisoning as there are many on our walks. We called Dr. Siegel and she met us at the clinic. She was able to diagnose her condition quickly, and knew exactly what do do utilizing both conventional and holistic treatments. Wouldn't let us leave, even though it was late, until she was sure our dog was okay. We were so relieved. She gave us some holistic medicine to take home and by the next day our dog had a full recovery. In 6 months, between educating us, our routine visits and an emergency, I would give 10 stars.

I volunteered with this clinic during this past summer. From this experience I can firmly say that this clinic is both unique and a great place to take your pet. This clinic is holistic, and thus is a little different than many people are used to. They work to treat the root of the illness, not just the symptoms. This is something you should be aware of before coming in. Dr. Siegel truly cares for her patients and will take much more time to fully explain your animals medical ailments and needs than most other veterinarians would. She is also upfront with any/all charges. The supporting staff and volunteers are amazing. They work fast and carefully to make each visit as stress free for the animal as they possibly can. Moreover, they work tirelessly to ensure a clean environment for both the clients and patients. Kenneling is something that is taken very seriously at this practice. The staff checks the animals twice days to walk, feed, and clean each kennel. Every animal is given fresh bedding twice a day. Throughout the day, the staff checks in to make sure that each animal is happy and healthy. You can rest easy in the knowledge that if your pet is staying the night they are in excellent hands. As a volunteer I must say that this is the most inclusive veterinary environment that Ive ever worked with. Dr. Siegel is fairly open about allowing people with an interest in veterinary medicine volunteering experiences. Once you are volunteering, you will receive an amazing, hands-on learning experience. I highly recommend this practice!Read Less

Dr. Siegel was not kind to us.  She suggested that sometimes nature knows what's best and we should let our little rescue animal go or be euthanized because of bad teeth.  If I knew then what I know now, I would have had a skilled surgeon remove the teeth and simply feed him soft food.  I loved him so much & now I see others who have successfully done this and the animal lives a full life without pain.  She also gave him oral medication meant for injection & didn't care enough to add the fruit flavor for him, just bitter medicine.

Response from Pasco Veterinary Medical Center

This is not at all how the experience went. Some people have to blame others and create stories to justify their own part in the problem. Extracting teeth is not something a "skilled surgeon" needs to do. When the teeth are as rotten as your sweet puppy was (years of disease not addressed) they fall out when the plaque is removed. The dental was not the issue, your ability to address the situation properly was. I did what you asked me to because you felt you had no other choice. I was compassionate and supportive and did not make you feel guilty. Obviously the guilt was an issue and you think blaming others after the fact will make you feel less guilty....

Dr. Siegel and the Pasco Veterinary Medical Center are wonderful!! I have pet ducks that were attacked late evening and she walked me through what to do to triage my boy, Charley, even after hours! The next day, we took him in to see Dr. Siegel and she prescribed some antibiotics and cream to help his injuries. Charley is on the mend and doing better. Not many vets would or are able to take care of ducks and Dr. Siegel didn't hesitate to see us. We are so grateful and really appreciate the kindness, compassion, and care the clinic provided us and Charley Duck. Read Less

I was thrilled when I found Dr. Siegel of Pasco Vet just up the street from my house. I'd been going to another holistic vet (I'll call her Vet A) for years who's much farther away, but at this phase of my life, I need someone more convenient. However, My enthusiasm for Dr. Siegel waned a bit when on my first visit she told me not to feed my dogs raw bones (yes, RAW) because "dogs can't digest bones." I've been feeding my dogs raw meaty bones for nearly 8 years now (on the recommendation of Vet A), and I can tell you through first-hand experience this information is simply incorrect. But when I learned Dr. Siegel had only been recommending raw feeding for 3 years, I was willing to see past this misinformation since she was undoubtedly still learning. At least she's going in the right direction, I thought. Things started to deteriorate between Dr. Siegel and me when we disagreed on a course of treatment for one of my dogs. The only option she was putting on the table was surgery. I asked if there was a non-invasive option. She said she wasn't aware of one. So, I did some research. Three other reputable holistic vets that I trust (including Vet A) presented another option that might work for my dog. So, I decided to hand the case over to Vet A. Dr. Siegel was not supportive of my decision, and that was fine with me. I didn't need her to support it. I just needed her to step back from the case while I pursued this other option. But Dr. Siegel pushed me on it and insisted my happy-go-lucky, waggy-tail, energetic, playful dog with good vitals was in pain and she made it seem as though I was not putting my dogs well-being first. (My dog has exhibited absolutely NO signs of pain or any of the symptoms associated with her condition. NONE! If she was, my decision would be different.) The more I was getting to know Dr. Siegel the more I was realizing her need to be in the driver's seat when it came to my pets' care. This approach does not work for me. If I say no to a course of treatment and choose to go with another option, I need a vet who respects my boundaries even if she doesn't agree with me. When I called Dr. Siegel's office to have my records forwarded to Vet A I was told they'd do it right away. When I spoke to Vet A several days later, she had not received the records. I placed another call to Dr. Siegel's office. Again they said they'd take care of it right away. I checked with Vet A a few days later, and she had still not received the records. I called Dr. Siegel's office again and this time asked them to email the records directly to me. I was told I'd have them by the end of the day. I never received them. For 5 days straight I called asking for my records, and each time I was told I'd have them by the end of the day. I finally got them nearly 2 weeks later by going into Dr. Siegel's office. When I needed additional records a few weeks after that, I got the same runaround. Frustrated with the lack of followthrough, I complained. Dr. Siegel responded by telling me she would be charging me a $25/hr. clerical fee to forward my records from here on out (which she can't legally do - read Florida Statute 474.2165 (3)), and then she suggested that I use Vet A for all my services. Clearly she was no longer interested in doing business with me. And that's fine, albeit sad. Bottom line, I think Dr. Siegel is a decent vet. She has a lot of great things going for her: 1.) She recommends a raw diet (albeit a commercially prepared one); 2.) She's onboard with doing titers in lieu of annual vaccinations, and when vaccination are needed, she uses some of the best vaccines available (i.e. Merial IMRAB TF rabies vaccine); 3.) She's knowledgeable in many areas and she's willing and eager to share her knowledge with her clients; and 4.) Her prices are fair and competitive. She's just not the right vet for me. But as long as you're comfortable leaving the decisions for your pets' care up to her and don't feel a need to question or challenge her directives, you'll likely have a fine experience. Read Less

We first found Pasco Veterinary Medical Center when our puppy was having severe diarrhea and other symptoms that had us very worried he might have Parvo. We called multiple emergency vets and all were booked up until we called Dr. Siegel who told us to head right there.They even took great precaution to bring him through a side door and straight to a separate area, just in case it did turn out to be Parvo.They did the test immediately and we were very relieved to hear the test came back negative, so then they sent off some stool samples to try and find the cause of his problems.From the time we walked through the door the first time, everyone was so nice and knowledgeable and helpful. The office is beautiful also with hand-painted artwork covering nearly every wall and floor surface.When the stool sample results came back and still didn't show any definite causes, they had us try switching his food since his diarrhea was still just as bad. Within 24 hours of switching to the new food exclusively, his poop was completely solid. There was way less of it also, since his old food was producing a lot more waste.You can tell everyone at Pasco Veterinary Medical Center has a passion for helping animals in the most natural way possible, with the perfect mix of conventional medicine and techniques when necessary also.This is the best vet we've ever been to and we're so glad we found them!

Caution with this vet and vet clinic for these below reasons: 1. If your pet is heat intolerant, be careful as this vet will only work with clients on the front porch (no clients are allowed to come into the vet clinic). When I requested a special accommodation for my senior pet who is disabled and heat intolerant to come inside where there is AC, Dr. Siegel said I was being pushy (despite my only asking one time). This time of year (Spring/Summer) the afternoons in this part of Florida are at least 90 degrees outside. 2. Office manager (Alyssa) who is Dr. Siegel’s daughter is not friendly and will not speak to you on the phone. She only will deal with clients via email and can be rude with snippy comments despite my genuine questions. The problem with their staff wanting to deal with you via email mainly is that there were two separate times that I had not have received email responses after a week would pass meanwhile you are concerned for the health of your pet as you wait and need their specific help. 3. When you first contact the office about an appointment, you will be promptly and rudely told that you have to first take Dr. Siegel’s mandatory Pet Parent Education course ($ 200) as they won’t even speak to you or talk to you even if you are just trying to first find out about certain accommodations with a special needs pet. 4. Although I was okay with taking the Pet Parent Education course for $ 200, I was also told before arriving one would also need to have a $ 250 online/phone pre appointment with Dr. Siegel as well. So, you are initially investing about $ 450 without your pet ever being touched/treated. In my opinion, if people are to be involved with healthcare, they should be kind especially when you are dealing with the stress of a pet who is struggling with a chronic and possible life threatening issue.

Ingrid, the truth is we would not accept you as a client because you were belligerent, rude, disrespectful and not truthful. We spent an ungodly amount of time in the past few months trying to help you over the phone and through email to no avail. No matter what we offered you, you were not happy. My clinic is 6 hours away from you. There are literally thousands of veterinarians closer to you. It is sad that no veterinarian near you will work with you, but I clearly see why. Last night your behavior became so egregious, I finally had to intervene and tell you we were not willing to accept you as a client EVER. You became furious that I refused to work with you so you are taking your anger and frustration out by trying to damage my reputation with utter lies. I CHOSE not to work with you for this very behavior and I never even met you! You want to be a victim, but the reality is you are creating all the negative energy, YOU are the problem. All veterinarians and their staff work endless hours to serve the patients they love. Fortunately we deal with wonderful pet parents who love and cherish their fur babies AND appreciate the veterinary industry, all those dedicated people who put their heart and soul into their patients. Your comments above are so dishonest it is shocking you could write it, let alone believe it. Your stress does NOT give you permission to be abusive to others. The real victim here is your sweet innocent fur child. I wish Chloe all the best.

I sadly don't live close by Dr. Siegle's clinic, but with the help of Dr. Siegle & her staff, and a local vet in my area open to new procedures, we are making this work. I have two 'fur babies', both of which have had issues. Jake, at the time only a year old, was having horrible skin issues. The vet I was seeing locally at the time had no diagnosis or treatment for it. What??!! That's when my search began. I was blessed to find Dr. Siegle! I took her pet parent course (Transforming Veterinary Medicine) which I HIGHLY recommend, and my world was changed! Not to go into lengthy detail, Dr. Siegle worked with me long distance and in a very short time (a few weeks) Jake's skin was cleared up & the problem has not re-occurred. He is on EvoLove raw diet & supplements and doing great! My other dog Isaac, is pushing 14 years and currently having some issues. To date Isaac has had full wellness bloodwork done; some issues have been identified; Dr. Siegle has consulted with me and my local vet about treatment; and her clinic has provided us with supplementation. This kind of service can be very difficult for vets & clinics to provide, but Dr. Siegle and her staff, and Dr. Young in Piedmont AL, have gone above and beyond to make this work! I highly recommend taking Dr. Siegle's Pet Parent Course at Transforming Veterinary Medicine! It will likely change forever the way you feed and care for your animals! Read Less

i still think i am having a bad dream. after complaining i never received any response what so ever so after several days i also gave a several day warning before making any commentsthis office may be good for treating sick dogs with alternative medical treatments, but i must say it has been my worst experience that i have had. i went to the pasco vet office for possible future natural care. when i went in i was sold by the dr. siegals daughter on a consultation up to two hours for $155 and i could have all of my questions answered and go over what i am feeding my dog and all other health-related issues. i love my little 6 lb chihuahua or i would never have done this i really wanted to know all i could to take the best care of him. dr. siegal motivation was to sell services only not just a consultation but at several hundred more in services, some i may have gone for but on a separate appointment  when i did not jump at that moment and buy her services, the dr. had no interest in me or my dog and did not even say goodbye after out 45 to 50 min. sort of like a car salesman he looses interest if the sale is not made on that first visisti always am flexible when making appointments  i do not squeeze a busy person rushing so i booked an appointment and the times got mixed up so by two hours i left and came back and waited over an hour i decided to reschedule since i was tired after my initial two error than another hour wait, even though the doctor agreed to squeeze me in, but i wanted  a relaxed consultation. i went in with my dog up to date and with a recent physical. here is the shocker i am still in disbelief what transpired and what i received a waste and terrible consult i was given. dr siegal was giving me a sales presentation, on her services and mentioned several times that she would have her on food on the market soon.   i had prepared with all my dog food  wrappers cleaned and in a folder and a file with my dogs veterinarian records. the doctor also knew i just watched 7 hours of a dog video on preventing dog cancer. dr gave me a science lecture  on internal mechanisms of digestion, which would have been good for a science class. i had a good idea about theses concepts i am very well aware of natural eating i lived with natural health practitioner dr for years. the worst part the dr only glanced at one of my wrappers of snacks when i handed it to her and made one brief comment and she would never have even looked at his records had i not almost forced them on her. i was very concerned about his vaccines. at one point she mentioned one ear has was and he may have an infection and left it at that, great where do i go now? when i left the office i called and said to her daughter and said i never even found out about if my heartworm medicine is healthy and in a very rushed manner said we  sell heartworm topical and some yo take, now id min good ?? i have a supply of it, i still do not know.  i believe in as much natural medicine as possible and would give my dog natural remedies. i felt this office was a money magnet people with sick dogs may get results and i am sure pay the price. when i wrote an email an email and asked for the price list i was emailed a paper illegible because it a not meant for me only a sales tool while in the office. i was also promised links to some of what she spoke about and after i asked for the links i was sent a link for natural meat for humans and other links to but natural food and supplements for people and some of which was commissionable to the doctor, nothing for dogs Read Less

You are a stalker and a pervert. You had no intention of getting help for your pet. You came trying to hit on me and I shut you down immediately. You were so creepy I had my receptionist stay in the room the entire time you were there so we could document everything. Every attempt you tried to "get back at me" has failed.

I was referred to Dr. Siegel by Joyce at NATURES PET LOSS in Brooksville. I had a "Fur Baby" a Golden Retriever of almost 15 yrs. She was rapidly declining where she couldn't get around with out my guidance she was blind or nearly blind and her body was very frail. I was told by several that this is a long life span for a Golden retriever. I knew I had to let her go to heaven "The Rainbow Bridge" as much as it hurt. I spoke with Joyce a very loving person animal lover at Pet Care Loss in Brooksville and she reassured me this is where you want to take her. to let her rest in peace. I was so upset that I had to do this but knew it was for the Best for her. I explained to Dr. Siegel how she could hardly even get around, Dr. Siegel was so understanding she said to call her when I arrived and she would come out to the car so I did, her and I believe the other young lady is Ashley came out side to my car explained everything thoroughly and told me to hold her head and pet her and tell her all that I felt in my 💓 so I said another prayer and told her how I love her so... but it is her time to go to heaven to The Rainbow Bridge so you don't have to suffer any longer and I will meet you there someday. Like I said the Dr. And Ashley are so compassionate, they gave her a injection to relax her first and then sent her to HEAVEN PEACEFULLY! She closed her eyes and went to sleep. Her name is PRINCESS and she certainly is a princess! I then took her to Joyce at NATURES PET LOSS for Aqua Cremation!

Today was my first time taking Oscar, my 8 year old cockapoo to see Dr. Siegel. I am always a little insure when going somewhere new, however, I had done some research prior and was excited about the appointment. Oscar was diagnosed withan enlarged heart and significant murmur involcing the mitral valve about 1 year ago or so. I was told that he had infiltrate of some kind in his lungs and that he had high blood pressure. My vet wanted to follow the protocol and wanted to put him on Vetmedin. I didn’t do that but did go to a follow up appointment where I did agree to blood pressure medication and Lasix. I was feeding him and limited ingredient grain free food because he had a tendency to have very loose stools on any other kind of food. This diet wasn’t his favorite but it did regulate his stool. As I was looking into better ways for my family to eat, I began to think about Oscar. I didn’t like the side effects of the meds he was on and I had no way of knowing what he was feeling. I looked up holistic veterinarians and found Dr. Siegel. She talked about many things that I was already reading about which was confirmation that I was on he right track. I want to make sure that I mention that everyone that I met today or had spoken with on the phone was so friendly. It can be hard to find the office because it is behind a shopping plaza, but it can be found. Also, my car had no trouble in the parking lot. This is for the pot hole comments. The office was beautiful and very clean. Dr. Siegel showed me her recommendations and told me about the treatments that they provide. I was under no pressure at any time. Also, she spent a good amount of time with me and Oscar and explained everything. She is thorough. The staff spent a good amount if time with us as well. They are very knowledgeable.

Worst experience ever! If there is 1/2 star or 0 star, I will give 0 star. They asked to copy the dog’s entire files without even look into our dog, my gut feeling this place is trying to get as much as possible any unnecessary problems that they can dig into your pet's medical history as an excuse for your pet's health. They are asking dog’s birth certificate, after we already told them the exact birth date. The nurse staff is very rude, but the receptionist is nice. Usually the doctor and staffs will see your pet closely, and pet them them but they interest more into dog’s files. I agree with some of the reviewers here, this place will charge with anything to have an excuse to treat your pets. Be careful with this place, we will never comeback nor give any recommendation at all. Run....don't even think to bring your pets here. Read Less

Worst Vet experience of my life - and we never even got in to see the Dr. This place was hard to find. No street signage. Down a back alley with several very, very large potholes, down by the big junk boat. Tacky place, but nice building. But I found it! And heard good things about this vet. Inside, I wasn't sure where reception was. There was a large dog scale on the floor where I thought I should check in. After being ignored for a few minutes, I moved over to the side counter. The woman at the computer never looked up, never said hello, and I got no "Someone will be right with you." After 5 minutes of thinking my dog and I must be invisible, while I listened to the woman at the computer chat with two other women on the other side of the room, I said, "I'm not used to being this ignored!" She responded: "Saturday is a very busy day." Funny, she had time to chat with the other ladies and to say "were busy", but not "Hello". If you are to busy to acknowledge customers, you shouldn't be making appointments. I could have come anytime next week - no problem.

If you would have only waited a couple more minutes someone would have been right with you. I don€t feel you were intentionally ignored, everyone was just busy seeing patients that were ahead of you.

When I first found Dr. Siegel our dog was allergic to everything and had been experiencing chronic skin issues. Once our animal was in Dr. Siegel€s care, she addressed and fixed the underlying problem causing the allergy and my dog no longer experiences the condition. This is such a big deal to us because our animal is such a big part of our family.

She also gave me clear instructions on how to continue treating her at home and by the next day her fever was back down to 101! I could hardly believe it. I could have taken her to 100 other vets who would not have given me these results. When my dog had a high fever and I went to a traditional vet, they gave her steroids which only worked temporarily and I struggled for a week with no solutions. I wish I would have taken my dog to Dr. Siegel when that happened. Now I am so happy to have her as a vet for my pets. I'm so excited to experience natural, holistic and homeopathic care that truly works. I can hardly wait to get my young cat on the raw diet they prepare here and avoid all the illnesses caussed by pet food that my former pets experienced. I'm a believer and I recommend Dr. Siegel to everyone! Read Less

In late 2005, a pregnant calico cat was left at the door of PVMC. She had a litter of at least 4 that I know of - 2 black male and 2 tortie female kittens. I adopted 1 tortie and 1 black. Hannah was an extremely energetic kitten and her neck would shake/quiver. Dr Siegel took her home for a weekend to monitor the neck before allowing me to adopt her. Hannah just turned 11 years old and is sassy and in perfect health. She's just the sweetest little friend! Her brother, Milo, lives happily and healthily with my grandmother. I separated the two because Hannah became aggressive towards the more timid Milo. Great Veterinarian and great practice! Read Less

Dr. Seigel has helped my cat Pebbles more than I ever thought possible. He became paralyzed after rupturing a disc in his spine and lost the use of his back legs. He is only 2 1/2 years old. He was in severe pain. I brought him back and forth to my local vet for a month treating him with pain medicine. Went to a neurologist, they said even if they agreed to do surgery he would not regain use of his legs. I drove home devastated and looked into alternative veterinary medicine. Found Dr. Seigel, made an appointment. We changed Pebbles diet, have been giving him therapy sessions using the Magnesphere, laser therapy, chiropractic adjustment, acupuncture, holistic medicines and vitamins, and after 15 visits now, Pebbles is moving his legs, can stand, moves his tail, is no longer in pain, and I know with a few more sessions he will be walking again. Dr. Seigel does not give up on pets, while others do!! She figures out the actual problem instead of just treating the symptoms. Highly recommend. I drive 50 minutes there and back twice a week because her practice actually helps animals recover from medical issues. Dr. Seigel and her staff are absolutely amazing!! Read Less

Called from work with a need to see a special vet that was referred to me by my vet. I had a sick bird that needed some attention. While on the phone trying to get an appointment the girl kept putting me on hold. When she got back on the phone she asked me if I wanted to be seen or not. I told her it was hard to me to answer that question when she kept putting me on hold. She gave me attitude like she didn't have time to talk to me or listen to my concern about my pet. I asked for her name twice she never answered me. I finally made an appointment for late afternoon 4pm after work. I told her I may be able to come sooner if I could get off sooner. She told me to call them back and let them know if that were the case. I called back at 130 told her I was off work and could make it by 3. She told me that I was to keep the 4pm appointment she gave me. She could have at least pretended that she gave a crap about the situation with my sick bird. I ended up looking up another vet that was willing to take my bird in earlier. So I called your office back at 220 and told her I was able to get in somewhere else earlier and to cancel my appointment. With her usual attitude all she said was "good luck". I work with patients on a daily basis. If I treated our patients and families this way it would not be tolerated. If you are going to be in any type of medical field at least "prentent" you give a hoot about other people and their situation. I wouldn't refer your office to anyone. I plan to go back to my vet and tell him about my horrible experience with his referral. No wonder this person wouldn't give me her name. Read Less

I, Dr Siegel, answered the phone for this lady and went above the call of duty to fit her in, same day, on a day we were already overbooked, because I never turn away a patient in need. This person was not only ungrateful but disrespectful as well. Let's just say people like this are not a good fit for our practice.

Dr. Siegel takes great care of your pet using a holistic approach. Education of what and how to feed your animals is important to their health. Choosing preventive health care over reactive.

We love Pasco Veterinary and Dr. Siegel. After losing one dog to cancer and another to anemia a few months apart we knew we needed to change the way we were raising our dogs. We decided we wanted an alternative medicine Vet. We brought our new puppy to Dr. Siegel and it was a game changer. Everything we do today is different than what we have done before. I've even learned a few new things to improve my own health. She is always sharing new health information with us. She goes above and beyond with how much she cares about the health of animals and people. I have never been happier with a Vet and I've had pets my whole life. Late one evening my puppy had some sort of reaction to something and her face blew up and her eyes got really red. It happened so fast it was horrifying. We thought it was toad poisoning as there are many on our walks. We called Dr. Siegel and she met us at the clinic. She was able to diagnose her condition quickly, and knew exactly what do do utilizing both conventional and holistic treatments. Wouldn't let us leave, even though it was late, until she was sure our dog was okay. We were so relieved. She gave us some holistic medicine to take home and by the next day our dog had a full recovery. In 6 months, between educating us, our routine visits and an emergency, I would give 10 stars.

I volunteered with this clinic during this past summer. From this experience I can firmly say that this clinic is both unique and a great place to take your pet. This clinic is holistic, and thus is a little different than many people are used to. They work to treat the root of the illness, not just the symptoms. This is something you should be aware of before coming in. Dr. Siegel truly cares for her patients and will take much more time to fully explain your animals medical ailments and needs than most other veterinarians would. She is also upfront with any/all charges. The supporting staff and volunteers are amazing. They work fast and carefully to make each visit as stress free for the animal as they possibly can. Moreover, they work tirelessly to ensure a clean environment for both the clients and patients. Kenneling is something that is taken very seriously at this practice. The staff checks the animals twice days to walk, feed, and clean each kennel. Every animal is given fresh bedding twice a day. Throughout the day, the staff checks in to make sure that each animal is happy and healthy. You can rest easy in the knowledge that if your pet is staying the night they are in excellent hands. As a volunteer I must say that this is the most inclusive veterinary environment that Ive ever worked with. Dr. Siegel is fairly open about allowing people with an interest in veterinary medicine volunteering experiences. Once you are volunteering, you will receive an amazing, hands-on learning experience. I highly recommend this practice!Read Less

Dr. Siegel was not kind to us.  She suggested that sometimes nature knows what's best and we should let our little rescue animal go or be euthanized because of bad teeth.  If I knew then what I know now, I would have had a skilled surgeon remove the teeth and simply feed him soft food.  I loved him so much & now I see others who have successfully done this and the animal lives a full life without pain.  She also gave him oral medication meant for injection & didn't care enough to add the fruit flavor for him, just bitter medicine.

This is not at all how the experience went. Some people have to blame others and create stories to justify their own part in the problem. Extracting teeth is not something a "skilled surgeon" needs to do. When the teeth are as rotten as your sweet puppy was (years of disease not addressed) they fall out when the plaque is removed. The dental was not the issue, your ability to address the situation properly was. I did what you asked me to because you felt you had no other choice. I was compassionate and supportive and did not make you feel guilty. Obviously the guilt was an issue and you think blaming others after the fact will make you feel less guilty....

I was thrilled when I found Dr. Siegel of Pasco Vet just up the street from my house. I'd been going to another holistic vet (I'll call her Vet A) for years who's much farther away, but at this phase of my life, I need someone more convenient. However, My enthusiasm for Dr. Siegel waned a bit when on my first visit she told me not to feed my dogs raw bones (yes, RAW) because "dogs can't digest bones." I've been feeding my dogs raw meaty bones for nearly 8 years now (on the recommendation of Vet A), and I can tell you through first-hand experience this information is simply incorrect. But when I learned Dr. Siegel had only been recommending raw feeding for 3 years, I was willing to see past this misinformation since she was undoubtedly still learning. At least she's going in the right direction, I thought. Things started to deteriorate between Dr. Siegel and me when we disagreed on a course of treatment for one of my dogs. The only option she was putting on the table was surgery. I asked if there was a non-invasive option. She said she wasn't aware of one. So, I did some research. Three other reputable holistic vets that I trust (including Vet A) presented another option that might work for my dog. So, I decided to hand the case over to Vet A. Dr. Siegel was not supportive of my decision, and that was fine with me. I didn't need her to support it. I just needed her to step back from the case while I pursued this other option. But Dr. Siegel pushed me on it and insisted my happy-go-lucky, waggy-tail, energetic, playful dog with good vitals was in pain and she made it seem as though I was not putting my dogs well-being first. (My dog has exhibited absolutely NO signs of pain or any of the symptoms associated with her condition. NONE! If she was, my decision would be different.) The more I was getting to know Dr. Siegel the more I was realizing her need to be in the driver's seat when it came to my pets' care. This approach does not work for me. If I say no to a course of treatment and choose to go with another option, I need a vet who respects my boundaries even if she doesn't agree with me. When I called Dr. Siegel's office to have my records forwarded to Vet A I was told they'd do it right away. When I spoke to Vet A several days later, she had not received the records. I placed another call to Dr. Siegel's office. Again they said they'd take care of it right away. I checked with Vet A a few days later, and she had still not received the records. I called Dr. Siegel's office again and this time asked them to email the records directly to me. I was told I'd have them by the end of the day. I never received them. For 5 days straight I called asking for my records, and each time I was told I'd have them by the end of the day. I finally got them nearly 2 weeks later by going into Dr. Siegel's office. When I needed additional records a few weeks after that, I got the same runaround. Frustrated with the lack of followthrough, I complained. Dr. Siegel responded by telling me she would be charging me a $25/hr. clerical fee to forward my records from here on out (which she can't legally do - read Florida Statute 474.2165 (3)), and then she suggested that I use Vet A for all my services. Clearly she was no longer interested in doing business with me. And that's fine, albeit sad. Bottom line, I think Dr. Siegel is a decent vet. She has a lot of great things going for her: 1.) She recommends a raw diet (albeit a commercially prepared one); 2.) She's onboard with doing titers in lieu of annual vaccinations, and when vaccination are needed, she uses some of the best vaccines available (i.e. Merial IMRAB TF rabies vaccine); 3.) She's knowledgeable in many areas and she's willing and eager to share her knowledge with her clients; and 4.) Her prices are fair and competitive. She's just not the right vet for me. But as long as you're comfortable leaving the decisions for your pets' care up to her and don't feel a need to question or challenge her directives, you'll likely have a fine experience. Read Less

We first found Pasco Veterinary Medical Center when our puppy was having severe diarrhea and other symptoms that had us very worried he might have Parvo. We called multiple emergency vets and all were booked up until we called Dr. Siegel who told us to head right there.They even took great precaution to bring him through a side door and straight to a separate area, just in case it did turn out to be Parvo.They did the test immediately and we were very relieved to hear the test came back negative, so then they sent off some stool samples to try and find the cause of his problems.From the time we walked through the door the first time, everyone was so nice and knowledgeable and helpful. The office is beautiful also with hand-painted artwork covering nearly every wall and floor surface.When the stool sample results came back and still didn't show any definite causes, they had us try switching his food since his diarrhea was still just as bad. Within 24 hours of switching to the new food exclusively, his poop was completely solid. There was way less of it also, since his old food was producing a lot more waste.You can tell everyone at Pasco Veterinary Medical Center has a passion for helping animals in the most natural way possible, with the perfect mix of conventional medicine and techniques when necessary also.This is the best vet we've ever been to and we're so glad we found them!
