Extremely poor customer service...Unresponsive, callous, and unapologetic. Vet did poor job stitching my 1.5 year old female chihuahua during spay (internal stitches sticking out of abdomen for over a month, required antibiotics and follow up). Would not recommend! Clearly a reason they are the lowest rated in the area. Note to owner: In additional to better vets who take their time and do a quality job, try hiring front of office/receptionists that actually care about pets and the customer experience. Embarrassed for you!

I had to take my dog in for an emergency appointment. The staff were so helpful, kind, efficient, and compassionate. I am so thankful that they were able to sneak me in and have my dog looked at. Luckily, it's nothing serious. I will only be using this vet from now on. I can't say enough nice things about the staff. They went out of their way to make sure my dog felt safe and not overwhelmed with others in the office.

I can’t even describe how grateful I am for Dr. Hilke and staff at Surfside. My shih tzu girl had been throwing up in the mornings and was seen by another vet who did blood tests and everything came back normal. After a few days she got so much worse. I called over 30 vet offices and not a single one could squeeze me in until I called surfside. They listened to the situation and Dr. Hilke was able to squeeze us in. The front desk staff and techs were all so kind and patient with us. Dr. Hilke was thorough and went through possible scenarios and gave us options. She ended up needing surgery the next day..turns out she swallowed one of my socks. Thank you thank you thank you for taking care of my dog even when you were busy. Truly so beyond thankful. I live farther away from this office but would 1000% bring my dog here again. 10/10 recommend.

They were really patient with me and thourough with explaining all of kitty's spay aftercare. They even checked her incision site immediately when I thought something was up. The price foe a spay was better than what had been quoted to me around town. They are also open 24hours and took my calls at random and off hours due to my schedule. I plan on going there here on out.

It depends on why you are bringing your pet to the vet. They have low cost vaccination clinics, dental clinics and senior discounts.

There are euthanasia services at the hospital and there is also an At Home euthanasia service available for you through a separate part of the hospital. There are different rates depending on the size of the pet and what aftercare arrangements you choose

How much to uthiniz a cat?

CREPY 1825 KING | Aug 21, 2018
David Lawrence | Aug 21, 2018

It WAS $60 each to be with the three we had euthanized there over several years, but your best bet is to call for current rates, plus it also has to do with size. Also, creamation and burial at sea at the Humane Society is only $10, which you can do separately, as their rates for euthanasia are higher and they won't let you be present.

Has anyone had a Hernia Repair or other surgery, and were you pleased? I'm looking for an animal loving, affordable, veterinarian for my 2 therapy dogs...

Lori Williams | Aug 21, 2018
David Lawrence | Aug 21, 2018

While we have never had to have surgery, thank God, we have had great, friendly, caring, and, professional service there for years. Along with standard veterinary maintenance, they have treated thyroid problems and severe pancreatitis, as well as other illnesses, professionally and with great success. We highly recommend Sirfside Animal Hospital and everyone there.

Sorry this is late, but I agree; sounds potentially serious enough to call and get in ASAP.
