12-31-17 EDIT Although the visit was everything I stated below our experience with them after was horrible. After a few days I thought that we would get a follow up phone call once the results came back from the infectious disease test and further analysis of the MRI. However, no call was ever made. I had to call multiple times just to follow up with them and not once did I speak to Dr. Wong on the phone. I run several companies and customer service is vital and of the highest importance but that doesn't seem to be the case here. After we paid them almost $5000 we didn't get a single call until I started to call them. Also, I asked that they email me all the documentation and estimates for potential surgies and I'm still waiting for those. Extremely poor customer service. All we wanted to know was what the next step needed to be to help our 11 yr old Pomeranian who has a mass in her brain. I don't think that's too much to ask. Nonetheless, I encourage you to be assertive with the follow up or you may never hear back. This whole experience has left a very poor taste in our month and we have sought neurological veterinary care with a neurologist in Coral Springs, Fl. Proceed with caution. ORIGINAL REVIEW My wife & I visited Dr. Wong and his staff with our 11 yr old Pomeranian, Angel on Wed. They took us in on the same day we called and we were treated very well. This is a state of the art facility and the facility is only 2 yrs old. If I can offer advise come prepared with all the specific questions you want to ask, make sure that if you have a primary vet that they provide Dr. Wong with all the needed vet records. Ask every question you want and know that your furry family member is in good hands. We felt as if we were well taken care of and as we wait to hear the results of Angel's tests we know they and we did the absolute best possible for her. Please be mindful that there is the possibility that others are having to put their furry baby to sleep so please practice courtesy and kindness. Be blessed. Read Less

I took Lulu for her therapy after being diagnosed with Dr.Wong, who is an excellent Neurologist. He suggested therapy instead of surgery and referred me to a Canine Rehabilitation Assistant. When I went I took Lulu to Kristen one of their amazing Canine Rehabilitation Assistants. I am beyond grateful, Lulu is now walking and is doing better and better with every therapy. Kristen is a phenomenal therapist, she is caring and patient, and she really shows you she cares for your pet. I absolutely recommend this facility to anyone seeking therapeutic or neurology help. The doctors and staff are amazing! *Attached you will see a picture of Lulu with Kristen! Read Less

My dog has seizures and used to get them every week. We were recommended by Knowles Animal Clinic to take her here. Not only is the place extremely clean amd week kept, the doctors and staff are extremely nice to you. The doctors examined our dog and has been taking pills to regulate the seizures which are now happening once a month. They give me options to save money on the pill and my dogs bloodwork. Read Less

Southeast Veterinary Neurology gave my 5 year old Pomeranian Rocky, a chance to a good quality of life. Out of nowhere, he started limping one day and I took him to his vet thinking he had some type of fracture. After a long examination, it turned out that my vet recommended I take him to a Neurologist. I could not even comprehend the idea that there were Neurologists for dogs, not to mention that my Rocky needed to see one and I had no clue what could possibly be wrong .When I took him it turned out that my dog had a slipped disc in his neck. We first tried the medicine approach which did help for a while, and we did that for like 2 months. When the medicine wore out my Rocky would start limping again, and leaning against the wall to hold himself up. The last time I had him on meds, he completely collapsed to his side and could not stand up, that broke my heart into pieces. I felt so hopeless because I did not know what to do and I did not want for him to suffer. At that very moment I was faced with the realization that maybe I would lose my Rocky. It was devastating to see a 5 year old Pomeranian have to go thru this, but the vets and staff at Southeast Veterinary Neurology gave me hope not only are they top of the line experts in their field they are very compassionate and caring. They explained to me how operating Rocky and removing the disc would make him improve about 90%, They gave me the time necessary and the chance to do my research and see if we can be able to save him thru other means like medicine, but that was not the case, once I saw that there was no other way, I immediately scheduled his surgery, and as scared as I was, I do not regret it for a second, in fact the only regret I could have, is not having done it sooner. Its only been a month, and he is doing fantastic, and in the next 4-6 weeks, he will be back to normal. He is back to being the active, sweet, and happy dog that he has always been. Thanks so much for saving my dog, it's the best money spent. Read Less

I have no words to describe the care and attention that my family and Frenchie (Zeus) have received at Southeast Veterinary Neurology. Zeus was in severe pain for about 3 weeks before I took him in to see Dr. Wong. He was unable to stand on his rear legs during his episodes of pain, and he was in pain for about 4-5 hours a day despite being on a pain patch and 4 different medications. I couldn't stand to see my dog like this anymore! I had already spent well over $1000 between animal hospital visits, vet visits, X-rays and medications - and nobody could give me a definite diagnosis. When I visited Southeast Vet Neurology, everyone seemed to be extremely knowledgeable, and the entire process was explained to me in detail. Zeus immediately had an MRI which showed a herniated disk, and I decided to go through with his surgery. They truly went out of their way to care for my Zeus while he was hospitalized for a few days. They even sent me pics and videos of his progress! Zeus left the facility being able to walk and was only on pain medication for about 3 days after surgery. He is now 2 weeks post-op and I could not be happier with his progress. He is a new dog! A huge thank you to Dr. Wong and to the staff at Southeast for everything! I am so grateful! God bless you all!!!Read Less

The professionals at Southeast Veterinary Neurology (SEVN) are exemplary in their expertise, kindness, and empathy. My black lab, Meesha, ruptured a spinal disc (IVDD) and within the course of 36 hours lost use of her hindquarters. This was a harrowing experience. I called SEVN and they quickly scheduled her for a same-day evaluation, recognizing that paralysis cases have a limited window for potential recovery. Upon history, physical exam and MRI it was clear that a large tract of her spinal cord had become compressed. Dr. Reese, her head neurologist, predicted that with successful surgery her odds of walking again were 40%. Costs and variable outcomes were discussed and in the end, I had to give her the chance! Dr. Reese whisked her into surgery, while I awaited the outcome. In the meantime, multiple staff of SEVN were available to me for questions. Meesha's surgery was a success--the spinal cord was decompressed--but this by no means meant that she would regain use of her back legs, tail, bladder, etc. Meesha remained at the clinic for several days for post-op evaluations. Twice a day I received a call from SEVN, apprising me of her status. Unfortunately, she showed no signs of movement or sensation in her hindquarters. Then one of the greatest moments came on the second day, when a technician told me he saw her wag her tail! Signals were be conducted through the injured nerves! She might walk again after all! After four days at the clinic it was time to bring Meesha home. I discussed her after-care with her team of neurologists and specialists. Dr. Reese went to get her and carried her out. He set her down and she was able to stand! This much had changed since the last phone call. Now it was a matter of proper care, increasing levels of physical therapy, and Meesha's mental resolve and ability to recover. We're six weeks out of the surgery and Meesha is walking and running again. There were a lot of ups and downs, and there are still improvements to be made, but SEVN gave her the chance to recover and provided a support system to us while we worked on her recovery. I find it hard to imagine what her outcome would have been had we not contacted SEVN and proceeded with them. Read Less

My pets remains have been sitting in this place since Jan 9th. They attempted to call once..my mailbox was full and they never called or attempted again. Really horrible .. He passed on Jan 2nd and I was told it would take 2 weeks and that they would contact me. They have two contact numbers...and simply chose not to follow up. Really disgusting. They also did not return calls during his treatment..Avoid this place!! Read Less

Our 6 1/2 year old Shepherd/Shar Pei mix, Jynxie, went from a slight injury to basically being paralyzed in just a few days. While we we're concerned with the unknown, after the consult with Dr.DePompa we felt confident proceeding with an MRI, which showed a ruptured disc. We went ahead with the recommended surgery. All we can say is this facility is one of a kind. The level of care they provided is priceless. Jynxie was walking with assistance the next day and continues to improve everyday. I love that they were very up front and honest about the risks, benifits and costs. Highly recommend SEVN! Thank you! Read Less

Dr. Wong, Dr. Little, Hilary and the entire staff of the Southeast Veterinary Neurology are true caring professionals when it comes to the care of your pet.  Additionally, they are also caring to the family members.  Copper was treated as if he was one of their own pets by all who took care of him throughout his 10 day stay.   Hilary spent several hours with me holding my hand and explaining the process as well as the financials from pre-op testing to the surgery and in hospital stay to overseeing his medical boarding to assist the family when he needed a little bit more care.  They called us twice a day to give updates on Copper and guiding us through the process.  Copper is now 3 weeks post surgery and is doing better than expected.

A very special thank you to Dr. De Pompa, Dr. Little and all of the technicians and staff at Southeast Veterinary Neurology for taking such great care of our maltipoo, Lambeau.  The afternoon of NYE we were told by our local animal hospital that we needed to take lambeau to get an MRI immediately or there was a serious risk he could  be paralyzed. They recommended Southeast Veterinary Neurology.  My husband and I were both in shock, scared and in tears when we walked into Dr. Wong's practice, but the the staff was calm, sensitive, and kind.  Both Dr. De Pompa and Dr. Little took the time to explain to us Lambeau's condition and all of our options in layman's terms.  After an MRI Lambeau was diagnosed with severe spinal compression and he needed to go directly into surgery.  If we had waited one more day, he could've been paralyzed.  Lambeau could not have been in better hands. His surgery went very well and he is expected to make a full recovery.  We are forever grateful for their care, compassion and professionalism from the moment we walked through the door on NYE.  And it doesn't stop there- every since we have taken Lambeau home they are happy to answer any questions and assist in any way even if it is the middle of the night.  I have never once felt like I am being rushed off the phone.  This is a team of dedicated professionals who truly care about their patients and the owners and represent the best in their field. We were so lucky to find you guys- thank you again for everything and all you continue to do. Sincerely,Angelica, Jeff, and Lambeau Read Less

SEVN has been excellent with Dexter's care. I saw Dr. Reese and Carissa on Monday and my 10 yr old shepherd mix could not use his back legs. He could not relieve himself and was in great pain. Dr. Reese did a thorough exam and recommended we admit Dexter for MRI and possible surgery. Tuesday Dexter had surgery for a severely herniated disc. Surgery went well. We picked up Dexter Friday afternoon and he is already relieving himself and starting to put weight on his hind legs. We know there is a road to recovery and so far it's going well. I am forever grateful for the immediate attention and constant care shown to us and our doggy. Time was taken to give me reassurance and regular updates on Dexter's progress. Read Less

Following my visit, I do not know how this place has high reviews... I brought my dog here after the Veterinarian said she wasn't supporting her hind legs due to a disc (just by seeing my pet) whom referred me to a Neurologist. Seemed Neurological, had all the disc symptoms. I wanted to have my dog treated by Dr. Wong who is the most recommended, but he had appointments available until following week. They told me if dog isn't walking it's urgent. So I made the appointment with Dr. Kornberg who was standing right there when I walked in.I know this place is NEW & Opened in January 2016, next to Sergio's Restaurant which used to be a funeral. It's luxurious inside, they have an MRI machine. I did research before coming and read reviews on Facebook / Yelp. They are pretty much the only ones in town, & I know MVS doesn't have good reviews.When I entered Sami (Client Service Rep) said Dr. Kornberg wasn't going to be attending us, instead my doggie would be seen by Dr. Reese which isn't logical when Dr. Kornberg was always there from the moment I came in till I left. He was on smoking breaks, etc. A specialist care should be superior since they have higher fees:They clearly told me it was not a disc. I asked Mayra, the technician who said "No, it cannot be a disc." Nor vestibular, nor ear infection. Well, I took my pet to the Animal Hospital after where X-Rays revealed: 1 slipped disc. They also assumed here my doggie had tumors in her belly but exams prove she doesn't. The $50 consultation exam was way better at the Animal Hospital where she was examined from head to paws to tail in front of me unlike SVN who took my pet to the back during the entire visit. I paid Southeast Veterinary Neurology $150 for nothing.I don't know if Dr. Wong would be better, but since he wasn't my pet's doctor and I didn't see him around... I can't make that determination.Information:MRI is approximately $3K which requires anesthesiaDr. Wong is available M-Thurs.Come after 2/3PM - the fee is higher. Higher fees on weekends. Open 24/7Prices for anything is higher at specialists.They don't have ultrasound machineOther useful info:Georgia University is lowered priced Vet Neurology at Tampa charges $4K with MRI for disc surgery.

We were referred to Dr. Kornberg by our primary vet. Our little guy - Lil Champ - was in so much pain he couldn't walk and was whimpering all the time. He was lethargic and seemed as if he didn't recognize us. When we arrived at the clinic, the staff helped us get Champ out of the car using a stretcher. The staff was awesome!! They were so gentle with our Champ who was in so much pain. We immediately saw Dr. Kornberg. He listened while we gave details of Champ's problems. Then he did a thorough examination. I knew it wasn't good news. When I asked - Dr. Kornberg was honest - "I'm concerned" he said. An MRI revealed our Champ has a brain tumor. We left him at the clinic for pain management. I really thought I would never see my Champ again. Two days later, I was told that I could take him home. When I got there, I couldn't believe it - The pain was gone. Champ was walking, seeing - he was his old self again. Champ is starting a pill form of chemotherapy and Tuesday, he'll see an oncologist and hopefully start radiation therapy to shrink the tumor. I can't thank Dr. Kornberg enough. For whatever time he has left - I have my best bud back again. I have so much faith in Dr. Kornberg that I think Champ will be with me for a long time. Thank you Dr. Kornberg and staff!Read Less

I have two simple words to describe this place: Professional and kind.

Now Max is recovering and doing very good. And I'm really thankful. Read Less

There is without a doubt how pleased we are with "SEVN"... We took our fur baby, Tyson there on Sunday for a pain up by his neck. After an MRI procedure, it shown he had a slip disk. Dr. Wong & Dr. Peress performed a ventral slot. & With in days our baby was feeling better and is recovering well back home with us. After 2-1/2 months we can hold our Tyson again without any pain. The staff at "SEVN" made us feel so welcome & comfortable. Tyson was in good hands from the moment we dropped him off until we picked him up. Words & gratitude is not enough to say how we feel towards the whole Staff. Thank you for everything you have done for us & Tyson. Read Less

I can't find the words to describe how awesome the people are at SEVN. My husband and I brought our dog from the Bahamas on Sunday for an MRI which eventually resulted in him having to get a surgery for a slip disc.

Our 6 YO Shitzu-Schnauzer Mix Marli was acting weird, and stopped walking around normally. After a visit to her Vet it was determined by X-Ray that a possible ruptured disc was the culprit. She was sent home with some meds, and rest ordered. After about a week of no progress, and illness progressing, we called to make an emergency appointment at the office. We were referred to SVN by many happy families happy with the work of Dr.Wong, and were optimistic about our visit. Paired with one of three amazing Vets at this office, we met with Dr.DePompa. He sat down with my parents, and explained that an MRI would be necessary to locate the injury, and correct the issue. He also explained that after the scanning, if surgery was chosen as the path to helping Marli, that they would need to operate right away to maximize her prognosis. The surgery was a success, and we picked up our puppy about three days post-op. We followed recommendations for home-care, and two months later, I am ecstatic to say, Marli is doing great! Read Less

Doctor Nick De Pompa & StaffWe'd like to thank you Dr. De Pompa and all of the staff at SE Neurology Veterinary Specialist  for their kindness, professionalism and  dedication to their four legged son (Baby Perez).  We'd especially like to thank them for their care of Baby our Canine Terrier.  The difficult time we were experiencing  and  desperation we saw him suddenly fall and was complaining of pain on father's day, we immediately visited his regular vet and they treated him until we started researching what his preliminary diagnosis was (IVDD) and what specialist in our area Miami Florida specialized in Neurological Conditions.  We immediate found SE Vetenirary Neurology group with Dr. NICK DE POMPA and read about them their facility and their reviews from other patient family members.  It was after 1am on Friday entering Saturday June 26th and we placed a call to them and immediately someone picked up at that time and explained to us their services and that they could see us immediately that morning once they opened their doors.  We brought in Baby to them that particular Saturday June 26th and they immediately took us in examine baby and Dr. De Pompa explained everything and what tests needed to be done.  Thereafter we left him for a sedated MRI and Spinal Tab, we felt very confident that they were going to take care of Baby as if he was their own. The staff and physician were very very professional and comforting.  We brought Baby home that evening with a treatment plan,  we received calls from them late late that evening.  They have since followed up and continue to call and reassure us they are there for and us and if we need anything.  Having experience in Healthcare and working in one of the US World report  nation's top Healthcare facility in Florida, I was totally estatic to see this care in animals.  We highly recommend them and greatly appreciate all their work and dedication to our four legged family member. It's made us so much more confident that baby will fully recover from this medical problem. Just knowing others truly care is a great thing.  We are forever grateful. May God Bless them all in all that they do andnDr. Pompa for being so dedicated. Sincerely,  Ric and Nelida Maria and Family Read Less

Terrific service. I took my Aussie here and they took great care of her. They called me 3 times per day to update me on her status.

Words will never be able to describe how AMAZING this practice means to our family! My husband and I recently adopted a German Short-haired Pointed Blitz and about a month ago we realized that something was terribly wrong with her.  We had just arrived at our home when she suddenly started experiencing seizure like symptoms, she couldn't walk, she was stiff, drooling and her gums were white. We immediately got in the car and took her to Knowles. They ran a few test and everything came back negative, which we knew wasn't a good sign. They recommended we take her to Southeast Veterinary Neurology. We woke up the next day called and headed over. After CT, MRI and a number of other test we came to find that she was born with a rare spinal deformity that is common in little but not in dogs her size. When we arrived to pick her up, we learned that her condition was so rare that the Surgeons had only read it in literature. Dr. De Pompa and his team gave her a 50/50 with surgery, which was her only option. We had two choices, go through with the surgery or put Blitz down. We took her home that week and boy was it one of the most DIFFICULT week of my life. She was in SO MUCH pain, we knew we had to make a choice and make it quick. We prayed about it and the Monday before the surgery was scheduled we stopped by the office to discuss our options one more time and together we decided to give Blitz a shot. Not only did she make it through the Surgery, but less than a week later she was no longer on her pain meds and she was up and walking! YES WALKING!! The team at SVN has been so AMAZING with her and I know that she feels the love and attention she receives every time we take her in for her bandage change. Blitz is our Miracle pup and we thank God for the team at SVN. Worth EVERY penny! Read Less

If you are reading this you may be very picky when it comes to the care of your pet. I saw Dr. Wong and his lovely nurse (forgive me I can't remember her name but she was great!) today after my frenchie mix hurt her back and was unable to stand/walk. He was in contact with my primary Vet from the minute the accident happened. He was very knowledgeable and caring. I never once felt that he had any disregard for my finances. Some specialty doctors are very quick to order a bunch of expensive tests (which I have questioned if they were really needed) but that was not the case when I saw Dr. Wong. I can't recommend these folks enough and please do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with them!Read Less

Dr. Nick De Pompa performed surgery on our dog after he became paralyzed and was in tremendous pain. After an MRI showed that he had a bad disc pressing against his spinal cord, we decided to go ahead with the surgery and had heard many great things about Dr. Wong's office from other people we knew who have pets with neurological problems. Dr. De Pompa was confident and gave us much hope that our dog WOULD walk again. Well, now after 5 weeks since his surgery, our dog is walking...he's not perfect and still a little wobbly but he still has quite a bit more time on restricted walking and is confined to a small room. After his surgery, he was on 24/7 strict crate rest for 4 weeks, recommended by Dr. De Pompa. This greatly helped my dog and if you follow the instructions from SEV, your dog will have the best chance of making a full recovery. Sonny, one of the vet techs there helped me a lot after we got our dog home. Our dog was not been able to poop for many days after surgery and while none of the vets were giving us a solution and kept saying that it was ok, we knew our dog was uncomfortable and needed help since he was on constipating pain meds. So, we put in another call to the office and luckily, Sonny, called us back and recommended giving him a teaspoon of 100% natural canned pumpkin with equal parts water to food. Our dog had a bowel movement very soon after. He felt a lot better after. He had been so bloated for so many days, Sonny saved the day! I wish someone had told us sooner.  The only negative thing I could say is that I ended up having to get most of my info from Dodgerslist online. They helped so much. I used a scarf to assist my dog with his walking. Nobody from the office recommended that, they sent me home with a handmade sort of device that had very thick foam which blocked my dog's penis and he couldn't pee. So, I found online recommendations to use a scarf and it worked perfectly. Dodgerslist also helped me with advice on getting him to urinate after the surgery. With so much overwhelming stuff happening when you bring your dog home from surgery, including pain meds, physical therapy, assisted walking, helping them to pee and poop with little to no use of their back legs, etc. it would have been nice if they had someone guide us more. The girl who gave us some info at our dog's discharge, barely gave us any info (I forget her name). Overall, if your dog or cat is having neurological problems, this is the place to bring your pet!

I brought my  5 year old , mini dachshund Isabella intothis office on 12/28. She had showed extreme weakness in her back legs and I was a wreck. I was immediately impressed by the kindness, helpfulness and professionalism of the staff.  Dr De Pompa met us and conducted a thorough neurological  examination. He explained that Isabella was suffering from IVVT. He went over all our choices for treatment. His explanations were clear and simple. His manner made me relax and hold hope that my pet would recover.  An MRI was conducted and the doctor informed us that Isabella had indeed suffered a ruptured disc. We decided that surgery should be conducted.Isabella had surgery on 12/29.  I was briefed by Dr Pompa immediately after surgery.  I was called at least twice a day with updates on Isabella's condition for the two days of her stay at the facility.  They even sent me photos via email!  I cannot say enough about the quality of service at SEVN   Dr. Pompa is a gifted surgeon. My baby is walking after 2 days and I am so very hopeful that she will be fine after her recuperation.  If you live anywhere in Florida and your pet has a neurological problem, take the trip. It is worth it. Your pet's health is worth it.  They are the best! Read Less

I cannot praise Southeast Veterinary Neurology enough!!! Dr. Wong and the entire staff are amazing. Their genuine care and love for pets in general, and dogs in particular are unmatched.

Dr. Wong is the absolute best! My Yorkie Bambino was bitten (twice) by a pit bull last summer and he couldn't walk. Within the life of a pet, most owners are faced with that gut-wrenching decision: Is it best to end my pet's suffering rather than see it in pain? When I watched Bambino yelp in pain, unable to move, I thought I would have to do just that. Thanks to Dr. Wong, I didn't have to. His compassion, skill, and expert staff were priceless. I am so thankful that my primary vet, Dr. Weir (South Kendall Animal Clinic), referred me to Dr. Wong of Southeast Veterinary Neurology; I had given up hope. Dr. Wong and his staff put up with my tears and endless emotion and talked me through Bambino's recovery. I am ecstatic to report that Bambino started to walk again after only a month and 95% of his functionality has returned. For an old Yorkie that has seen his fair share of hardship before we took him in, 95% is beyond what my sister and I had hoped. His miraculous recovery is due to stellar care and this review simply doesn't convey how thankful I am for Bambino's renewed life.If your pet needs assistance, there's no one I would trust besides the skilled and caring professionals under Dr. Wong's tutelage.

Dr. Wong saved my Missy's life. She was mis-diagnosed from another vet but I took her to an excellent 24 hr after-care who referred me to Dr. Wong. My Missy has encephalitis of the brain is currently on meds but has regained all her cognitive abilities and you could never tell she was or had seizures. It's been 4 years later and she still seizure free. Thank you Dr. Wong and your awesome staff for always taking the best care of my Missy.Read Less

I had a great experience coming here on Black Friday of all days. The reception staff nurses and doctors are all extremely friendly and knowledgeable in what they do. I went in there feeling very nervous and left feeling in control of the situation which is something very scary to go through. I know it doesn't matter much what a place looks like but this place is newly remodeled and absolutely beautiful inside. Highly recommended! Read Less

Thanks Dr.FreemanHazel's great care I honestly can't say enough good things about Southeast Veterinary Neurology . I had to take my three year old dog to them on a Monday 2/11/13 because the Pet emergency had diagnosed her with a spine problem and told me if I didn't have surgery done the problem would get painfully worst for her. I took her to Southeast Veterinary Neurology and Dr. Freeman did an MRI on her and highly recommended surgery. We ended up having to do emergency surgery on her spinal cord because her back legs had become paralyzed. She called me at work and carefully explained everything about the procedure. After surgery, she called me to check in and explain how the surgery had went. She had to stay with them for a couple of days following surgery, but we visited and realized that her staff was just as awesome as she was. They constantly complemented how great my pet was and it was obvious to us that they treated her as part of their work family. When I was able to take her home with me, they made sure that we knew what was needed to nurse her back to her happy playful self. They also called to check in on me and my dog's progress. Whenever we visited their office It felt like the entire staff stopped what they were doing to come greet us and walk our dog out with so much care. I could tell that they genuinely loved my dog and I knew that they were taking the best possible care of her.While the price is expensive, it is 100% worth it. I always felt like they were looking out for my dog's best interests. They encouraged me to stop in or call whenever I wanted/needed help or information. Allison was BEYOND phenomenal and was so informative. The front desk staff, Michelle in particular, were so friendly and warm and made me feel welcome every time I called or came in. I know that it's traumatic to take your pet into an emergency clinic and even harder to receive news that you weren't expecting and/or dreading. However, everyone on this staff made sure I was informed along every step of the way. I'm so grateful that we were referred there because I know that my dog was in the best care possible. Thank you to all the doctors and staff at Southeast Veterinary Neurology. You have been amazing! Read Less

My 11 year old dachshund, Kirby, lost the use of her front legs and began to lose movement in her back legs. I sought the advise of the president of the Dachshund Rescue of South Florida who works with Dr. Wong frequently with down dachshunds. She told me to immediately take her to him and that age did not matter as long as she was healthy. Dr. Wong evaluated Kirby, recommended an MRI to confirm his suspicion of slipped disks and also confirmed that she would be a good candidate for surgery if her labs were normal. Dr. Wong's work with the Dachshund Rescue of South Florida and the success he has had with those patients brought confidence in my decision to leave Kirby's health in his hands. He is a wonderful vet specialist and his staff is also very cooperative and caring. I picked up Kirby 3 days after surgery and she was walking again. I highly recommend a visit to Dr. Wong at Southeast Veterinary Neurology at the slightest signs of back/neck injury. Read Less

Dr. Wong is an extremely knowledgeable and compassionate healer. He took the time to fully and carefully examine our dog (Remy), to explain the diagnostic procedures, and later to monitor Remy's treatment and prognosis. Before ending each visit to his office, he gave us a documenting paper covering all that we had discussed verbally. We found his office staff to be very friendly, open to questions, and helpful in answers. I highly recommend Dr. Wong and Southeast Veterinary Neurology for excellent treatment.Linda Sands and Remy (our Standard Poodle) Read Less

Doctor Wong saved our dog Abbie's life. About a month ago she could barely move and was constantly crying out in pain. Our vet's diagnosed her with a slipped disk as being the most likely cause and referred us to Dr. Wong.After X-rays and an MRI confirmed the diagnosis Dr. Wong performed surgery on Abbie to fix the problem. The day after surgery she looked better than she has in a month. Within 2 days you could not even tell that she had ever been in any pain whatsoever.Every time we dealt with Dr. Wong or his staff they were extremely professional and courteous and you can tell that they are all in the business for the right reasons. They are obviously all animal lovers and took absolutely fantastic care of Abbie.They also answered all of my questions without making me feel like an idiot even if they were stupid questions. I never had a problem getting ahold of Dr. Wong and he took quite a bit of time during the diagnosis and pre-surgical consultation to explain exactly what was wrong with Abbie and how he was going to fix it. He even spent about 20 to 30 minutes going over the MRI in detail with me and showing me exactly what was going on with Abby.My family cannot thank Dr. Wong and the staff enough for what they've given back to our family.

Dr. Wong is an amazing doctor! He possesses the perfect blend of compassion and professionalism. We walked into his office expecting the worst, but praying for a miracle. Dr. Wong took the time to carefully explain his diagnosis, all of our options and our pet's prognosis. Dr. Wong completed a 4-hour brain surgery, removed three tumors from our pet's brain, and gave us the miracle we prayed for. Dr. Wong and his staff made a difficult situation less stressful. Everyone took the time to answer our questions and offer us support. If you need a neurologist for your pet, Dr. Wong is the doctor to see. Read Less

Dr. Wong is the must have neurologist when a member of your furry family is in need! Being new residents of Florida it was a tremendous relief when we were referred to Dr. Wong for the care of our 7 year old beagle Miss Daisy Mae who suffered a slip disk. Having been through a ruptured disk with our very first beagle many years ago and having an amazing neurosurgeon take care of her, we knew we needed and wanted someone of Dr. Wong’s reputation and caliber and board certified in the field of neurosurgery. From my first emergency call to him early that Thursday morning through her subsequent surgery, hospital stay and home recuperation he was consistent in phoning us with daily updates and follow-up later when she returned home. Dr. Wong was wonderful with Daisy, he got down on the floor at her level, sat with her and examined her. He was gentle, calming and patient with her and with me when I had questions and/or concerns. Dr. Wong explained his findings and prognosis and our options in a clear and concise way in a setting that was not rushed or pressured. We were able to come to a clear-cut plan for surgery and recuperation. Dr. Wong did an amazing job with our girl and while she is still living with a few temporary restrictions she shows that she is more than ready to be out exploring and chasing after scents. Thank you Dr. Wong and your wonderful staff for giving our girl back to us for many more years to come.

Took my dog to her regular vet. on Monday because since Sunday morning her back legs would not support her. This doctor had been treating her with medication for possible irritable bowel syndrome. He took xrays and prescribed more medication in addition to giving her a cortisone shot. By Monday night she was not eating nor moving. Tuesday things got even worse so I took her to Dr. Wong. After examining her, he diagosed her problem as toxicity to the medication the first vet had her on. Within 24 hours she was able to walk on her own and 2 days later she is completely back to normal. I cannot recommend this doctor highly enough. If your dog is experiencing any neurological problem, rush to Dr. Wong and and know that your pet will get the best possible care immediately. Kudos to Dr. Wong and his entire staff, especially the extremely kind and caring receptionist, Lisa.Donald Jones Read Less

I carried my German Shepard into Dr Wongs office on a Thursday and she walked out of there on her own four days later. He is such a skilled,professional,personable Dr. I would give him more than five stars. The staff was also very nice and informative. There was someone with her 24hrs a day. I am in the medical field so I am very careful about who I trust with my loved ones. Dr.Wong definitely has my trust. Read Less
