After spending 10 years in the veterinary field, I was wary of finding a new veterinarian once we moved to Florida. I have 6 pets, and 5 are seniors and would be needing more constant care. Finding good care is hard to come by for your pets especially when you know the inner workings of the veterinary business. I had concerns about my cat Hannah, and brought her to Dr. Wiseman for a full exam. It was a devastating diagnosis of stage 4 kidney disease (immediate in-house labs allowed for a same hour diagnosis), but Dr. Wiseman allowed us to do everything we wanted, or didn't want to do. Nothing was ever forced on us. No scary veterinary language was ever used. He helped me make her as comfortable as possible over her last 10 weeks (including at home fluids, injectable medications, etc. They ordered medication for me without any issues -- they saw Hannah sometimes within 30 minutes of me calling that she wasn't well). Our care also included almost weekly phone calls from the staff on Tuesdays to inquire about how she was feeling, eating, drinking, behaving, etc. The decision was made once Hannah reached total renal failure to put her down and Dr. Wiseman put her down very comfortably on a Monday morning at 8am, and even took a final paw print for me to keep), OAH was very respectful, sent a card, called to say how sorry they were, etc. I don't know of many animal hospitals that provide the sort of personal care and services that OAH does. The staff knows you and all your pets the second you walk in. Dr. Wiseman has called me himself when one of my dogs died suddenly from a hemangiosarcoma (he had not seen that dog yet for an exam) and discussed what caused his death, reassuring me that's what it was and we didn't need an expensive necropsy. Absolutely amazing.More recently, Dr. Wiseman has been taking care of my cat Teegan who suddenly started having vestibular issues. He saw us within 2 hours of an 8am Saturday phone call. Even for something as simple as a small cyst on my dogs head, Dr. Wiseman was prompt, respectful and friendly. Dr. Wiseman and his staff are absolutely amazing, fair and accommodating. The office is clean, modern and fresh. Everyone is polite, and helpful. I will not take my pets anywhere else except to Oviedo Animal Hospital. Read Less
