Ridgemoor Animal Hospital

So nice and seems knowledgeable.  This was the first time we saw Dr Stupar and he sat on the floor with our dog, the assistant and myself to talk about our dog. Our dog really warmed up to him and was happy. If his bedside manner continues, we will be clients for life. Read Less

Dr. Stupar and staff are great! They are very personable with me and my animals. I especially appreciate them accommodating my skittish cat Sam! As a first time dog owner for my 8 week puppy Frankie ,I had a ton of questions. Dr. Stupar was very kind and patient with us!  Dr. Stupar and staff , thank you always for your kindness and exceptional work! Read Less

We found Dr. Stupar after going to numerous vets, none of which gave the attention to detail to our pet like we wanted. We’re so happy we found Ridgemoor Animal Hospital. He’s always so kind, knowledgable and takes the time to throughly explain every concern and issue with our pet as if it were his own. Not only does Dr. Stupar take care for your pet, he also cares for the owners. He is also extremely fair in his pricing which is refreshing compared to the “nickel and dime” charges of other practices. Read Less

We took our two 13 year old Basenji boys, Davie and Sun to see Dr Stupar for the 1st time yesterday. Dr Stupar had Davie eating right out of his hand. Sunshine is usually aggressive towards vets and showed no signs of aggression at all. The staff was very caring as well. I do believe we have found our new vet for our beautiful babies. Life is good today :) Read Less

Very knowledgeable and kind veterinarian and staff here.  I had a kitten that had an accident and for just 17 measly dollars, he brought my little kitten back to life. I stood there in my neon pink pajamas and hair still straight up in the air from waking up, not intending to go anywhere but as soon as I saw the kitten needed emergency care (blood was coming out of his nose)  I just jumped in the car and drove straight to this vet without a second thought.This veterinarian is definitely a five star veterinarian! The only reason I'm giving four stars is because their ordinary services are Quite expensive. That's unfortunate. But do I recommend him? Absolutely! If you can afford him for ordinary veterinary care. Read Less

I came here for my first time and I was very satisfied. Staff is super nice and the doctor is awesome as well. I needed an international health certificate to travel with my dog to France and the staff took every step carefully to make sure I had everything complete. I will definitely be coming here for anything with my dog and thank you so much Ridgemoor Animal Hospital! Read Less

My dog is very excitable but the doctor is so patient and soothing that she calms down quickly. Best Vet I've encountered. Explains everything thoroughly and I never feel rushed. Staff is equally nice and the facility is always spotless Read Less

I just moved from Atlanta, and was looking for a veterinarian for my "children".  I could not have been more impressed with the Veterinarian, Veterinarian Tech or front desk personnel! All of them were personable, professional and very compassionate to my animals. They listened to my animals history and did an amazing physical exam.  I have certainly found the right Veterinarian and would recommend him to anyone!! Read Less

We moved to the area a year ago. We didn't think we would ever find a pet doc like ours back home. We did! Dr. stupar has such an obvious passion for animals. The moment he walked in the room he picked up my little fur baby hugged and talked to her like she was his. Both of our fur babies love Dr. Stupar even after having hot spots shaved and medicated. This will be our vet from this point on. Read Less

Dr. Stupar and his staff are amazing. He has a way with animals that is just wonderful! He establishes a relationship with the pet and his calm energy definitely helps reduce the nervousness dogs feel when going to their visits. Excellent customer service, you can tell how much the staff truly cares about the animal and their owner! Read Less

Dr. Stupar and his staff are fantastic. They operate the best veterinarian facility in the Tampa Bay area. Dr. Stupar is very thorough and does not push unnecessary tests or procedures. He is the only veterinarian I have ever been to that takes the time to call and explain my pet's condition. I feel he genuinely cares about the animals he treats. Read Less

Just want to give our deepest thanks to Dr. Stupar and his staff! Yesterday, my aunt had to make the heartbreaking decision to have her terminally ill, 19 year old cat euthanized. Everyone was so calm,  kind and compassionate. The doctor, especially, was extremely comforting and loving to dear old Percy, and to us! Even though this was not our usual vet's office, he treated us all like family. Highly recommend! Read Less

My wife and I have been taking our dogs to Dr. Stupar for years.When we moved to Tampa two years ago, we decided that we would take the drive from Tampa to Palm Harbor for this doctor because that's how happy we are with his level of compassion and commitment to his practice. The atmosphere is friendly, and this is a true small business, where you get to know the staff as well as the doctor himself. Dr. Stupar has reasonable prices and he is always patient with the animals (the humans too!). Read Less

Love this animal hospital. They explain everything step by step to you. When we left we completey understood the concerns with our dog, different ways to treat it, what the cost associated with each would be, and much more. They are great with animals, the facility is clean, and everyone is helpful. Dr. Stupar is amazing. Read Less

Dr Stupar is so kind and loving towards each and every animal and human!!  I take my pup and my mother in law's elderly dog.  He provides the best care and his staff is wonderful.  I recommend Dr S to anyone who asks! Read Less

I can not say enough good things about Ridgemoore animal hospital! I have never been to a veterinarian that has shown more care or compassion for animals and for their owners. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a veterinarian. Read Less

I cannot say enough good things about everyone at Ridgemoor Animal Hospital!  It starts with the compassionate, expert care from Dr. Stupar.  The entire staff shares Dr. Stupar's same cheerful attitude and love for animals.  I'm always impressed that everyone in the office knows their patient pets by name and how much they love each of their patients.Dr. Stupar is the most caring veterinarian I've ever known, and I hear the same thing from everyone I meet who has pets in his care.  I've moved away from Palm Harbor now but I still take the extra time to bring all my dogs back to Dr. Stupar for regular care and whenever any issues arise.  I'm not the only one either.  I met someone who is so loyal she travels 45 minutes from south St. Petersburg because of Dr. Stupar's dedication when their dog was attacked by a Rottweiler and had severe neck injuries.  Or another owner related a story of seeing different vets and trying everything in an attempt to address his dog's issues.  He finally decided he needed to have the dog put to sleep.  Dr. Stupar was about to carry out the owner's wishes, but just before euthanizing the dog Dr. Stupar decided to run a test again that had already been checked several times before.  Miraculously, the test results were different than all the previous results, and instead of euthanizing the dog Dr. Stupar treated him.  The owner told me this story years after it occurred, the dog was living a healthy life and the owner would never take his pets to anyone but Dr. Stupar.Whether you come for an emergency or routine care you'll quickly understand why people are so loyal to him.  When an emergency arises Dr. Stupar will go way beyond what you expect from a vet.  He will continue working with his patients for as long as it takes to handle the problem, no matter what the time is.  He will sleep in the office to be close to pets that may need extra care.  For routine care he remembers all his patients and their history, treats them with the same love he would for his own pets and patiently explains everything he finds.Dr. Stupar helped our family through the toughest experience a loving pet owner can experience, the impending death of a pet.  Our dog was 15 years old and suddenly got extremely sick.  It was quickly apparent that our dog was suffering and wouldn't get better at his age.  Dr. Stupar's loving and understanding care helped our family through the painful situation.  You could hear and see in Dr. Stupar's eyes how much the animal's suffering pained Dr. Stupar.  He gently guided us through our options and what they would mean for our dog while understanding how difficult the choices were for our family.  I am forever grateful for all the extra time he spent with us, both in the office and on the phone in the evenings, to help us.  I was there with our dog when he was euthanized.  Dr. Stupar, the assistant and I all cried.  How many vets have such love for their patients?
