I absolutely LOVE this clinic. In 2012, my baby girl had severe skin allergies and the vet I was taking her to just kept giving cortisone shots and never getting to the root of the problem. I decided to try Pershing Oaks Animal Hospital because it was right down the street from my house andI do not regret it. The vet who saw her was very knowledgeable and was able to diagnose & help resolve my dog's skin situation for good. During that first visit, she discovered a very severe heart murmur, which had gone unnoticed by my previous vet. The only complaint I have is that she lacked sensitivity in telling me what she'd discovered. I remember specifically asking, "is my puppy going to die..?" and she said, "maybe". Just like that. I was a little taken aback because.. I mean.. wow. She could have softened it up a little... I decided to keep taking my dog there because, sensitive or not, the woman knows her sh*t. And the rest of the staff was awesome and caring also, so that was definitely something that hooked me.
On my second visit, though, I met Dr. Gallo. Equally as knowledgeable, but much friendlier and more sensitive. After that, I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. We recently moved out of the city, but when my dog passed away, I contacted Dr. Gallo immediately. We have not only found a great vet but an awesome friend. Still swing by the clinic whenever I visit Orlando. I would highly, highly, highly recommend this clinic to anyone who asks. When you call to make our appointment, make sure you ask for Dr. Gallo. You will not regret it! Read Less
