Davenport Douglas DVM

"I was camping 5 hours from home and called for a equine emergency. I got a answering machine that gave another number for emergencies. I left a message on that recording also and never received a call back. I was able to.get ahold of my vet who instructed us on how to render aid. Scares me to travel in the future unless the site has a on call vet listed. Might be a suggestion to this vet... could possibly be a financial suggestion. I was willing to pay...my horse is my priority."

"I have not received care or services from this Vet but I am sure they are top notch if you can get it. I have called only twice in the last couple years. The first time I called a year or so ago, I was asked how many animals I owned before they even asked my name. I had "less than 50" so they wouldn't even discuss further. Today I was told that Crystal River was "too far north from Brooksville". I explained I only needed service for two animals needing a simple health inspection for travel... AND... I would trailer them anywhere the vet would consider close enough to Brooksville. They refused to help. They probably are really good at what they do and I cannot take anything from them...but they seem rude and unwilling to help. Good luck."

"I used this vet for the first time. Michelle Young came out to euthanize one of my horses. Michelle and her assistant was so kind and caring. Very emotional for us and they were very compassionate. They were gentle and gave her gentle touch through the process. There are so few equine vets around and it's a bonus to have one that is so loving and kind."

"When I called the good doctor regarding a possible colic I was told, "It'll be $600-$700 for me to come out." No inquiry into the situation or guidance or care or concern. Banamine is $65 from them or $30 from other vets or Walmart PetRx - but they won't give a prescription. Won't be using them any longer. Received AMAZING immediate care from Brandon Equine at a reasonable price."

"Our kids are involved in 4-H and work with Michele with both dogs and steer. Michele provides training in agility, obedience, rally, and showmanship for our dog club. She is excellent - very kind, patient, and helpful with both the kids and the dogs. She helped our son prepare to compete in the FL State Fair Youth Dog Show for the first time earlier this year, and we could not have done it without her! We are also new to show steer, through 4-H and the Hernando County Fair. Dr. Davenport has provided donated or discounted services to all the kids involved. As parents who are new to livestock, we really appreciate the 4-H program, and people like Dr. Davenport & Michele who offer their time and talents to invest in our kids to help them succeed."
