"DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAT OR DOG HERE. i have a senior rescue cat who now is TERRIFIED of vets, because all three times i’ve taken him here over the past 3 years have been horrible. he has bad hips and a bad back and i told them this, and where do they grab him to drag him to the center of the weighing table? his hips. (i voiced my concerns of him maybe developing arthritis and they literally DID NOT CARE). of course he reacts, and they grab him by his scruff and drag him roughly, even though i always say “let me handle him, he gets stressed when strangers touch him. i’d prefer he bite me and scratch me over you guys.” he dropped 5 pounds in 6 months and all they said was, “oh, he’s underweight now.” i was in for his vaccinations, and the tech told me the vet would talk to me about his weight. so i waited for him to mention it, and he never did. i asked, and he said it was because “he’s an old cat.” less than 6 months later, i suspect he’s in the early stages of renal failure and am taking him to another vet. i asked the front desk attendant if the vet had any recommendations for his weight loss and no appetite, or if there was any way for me to schedule an appointment to get some blood work for him, and they said they couldn’t without the vets orders. you’re kidding me right? i also asked about any recommendations for him to gain weight, and they just recommended me to buy the hills brand after i told them to NOT recommend me the hills brand, because my cat refuses to eat it. i now feed him a mostly raw diet and he’s put on some weight, because I AS THE OWNER, asked for help from an INCOMPETENT vet, and had to put in my own damn research and do my own trial and errors to help my baby kitty because this vet DOES NOT CARE. this is a dog vet, not a cat vet. they do NOT know how to handle cats. edit: oh yea, every time i show up on time, and every time they’ve made me wait over 20 minutes to be seen. i refuse to stay with any medical professional who does not value their clients’ time."

"My mom recommended this vet! I had such a paw-some experience! Everyone is so sweet you can tell they love animals!"

"Dr Hung is retiring, new Vet is the worst! I took my kitty 2 times because was sick, and now is death because of him!!!! Taking away from this place my pets records and moving to another location."

"We have been taking all our dogs to Dr. Hong for over 25 years. He is honest and extremely knowledgeable. You can trust Dr Hong with your pets health care. His staff is always cheerful and helpful. Even when those hard decisions need to be made they are very empathic to your feelings and take care of all the arrangements giving you peace of mind. A visit to Dr Hong is like visiting a friend who happens to be a vet. Thank you Dr Hong you and your staff are awesome."

"Dr. Hong and his staff are amazing. My 17 yr old, Dalmatian has been a very happy patient for eight years. Recently, I took my tiny, 5.5lb, 11 yr old Chihuahua, Daniella, in for a teeth cleaning (very heavy plaque build up) because I had the option of not putting her under to complete the procedure. Wow! The procedure was fast, through and I was able to save one of her back molars (at least for now). The fee was under $55. As long as the owner is willing to participate in the process...Dr. Hong offers an amazing option to the high-cost, lengthy procedure available at most vet offices, where the pet is first put under a general anesthesia.Thank you Dr. Hong and staff. Northdale Animal Hospital -You guys are the best!! Update: my amazing dal lived to be 18 yrs old; with Dr. Hong & staff's excellent care. ❤ I can never thx them enough. Now my newest family member; Ana, is a patient too. We always plan a trip to Desoto dog beach after; as we travel from Winter Park for our appointments!"
