"Everyone was super friendly and took care of Harry so well. They never were annoyed with my many calls, and always connected me to talk to someone who had Harry and was taking care of him. It was so nice when I came to visit, and the staff let me have some alone time with him. Everyone there was super understanding and supportive with us going through a rough time. Now Harry is healthy and happy thanks to all of the staff there."

"My husband and I walked away from our referral appointment feeling encouraged and educated with what was a very scary situation with a lot of unknown. Dr. Parra really took the time to educate us on ITP, on what we were going to experience those first couple of days after the initial treatments and encouraged us to call or even bring Kona in if we were even a little unsure of her well being. It was a very positive experience with Dr. Parra and a staff that not only took care of our puppy, but also comforted and took care of us. Thank you so much."

"I had to bring my cat Bronson in for emergency services from Naples. From the first visit with Dr. Glander I felt very secure knowing they were going to do whatever they could to get a diagnosis for his problem so he would get better. Then we met Dr. Parra. Both of these physicians gave me the updates and the time I needed to absorb all of the information they had for me, especially when it was not good. I hate to say I lost my "big boy" but it certainly was not due to the lack of care everyone provided for him. Everyone was so compassionate and caring, it made a very difficult situation more bearable. Hopefully I will not need their specialty services again but if I do I will not hesitate to return."

"Henry came in through rescue and there were two contacts the hospital kept both contacts abreast of Henry status and took good care of him and I couldn't personally be more pleased thank you for loving him and doing such a good job for our foster boy Henry in English Springer Rescue care.  As a rescue organization, we appreciate your attention and care. We do our best to rehabilitate and rehome this beautiful breed, and appreciate the partnership to achieve this for our dogs, especially the seniors, as Henry is. Is is on his way to a foster in Georgia who will most likely be his forever loving home.  Thank you for being part of Henry's journey."

"Dr. Riordan was so kind, she immediately put my mind at ease regarding the care and treatment Max would receive and the procedure he was about to undergo. After his ultrasound she carefully explained what she saw and outlined next steps in order to get a complete and accurate diagnosis.  She also sent a follow up letter summarizing the visit and giving me complete access to her findings and his records."

We knew to call you as we came in with another pug a few years before, and our veterinairan always said to get to you. The drive from Lehigh did not matter because we wanted her to have the best care. The staff took her straight back and she stayed in ICU throughout the night. We brought her home 24 hours later! We will recommend you to all our friends."

I was given options with pros and cons of each potential outcome. My opinion was respected and considered, I was asked to agree before any procedure was undertaken. Having this 24/7/365 ER available staffed by such quality doctors and the general practice itself with so many specialists is invaluable.”

“Joshua Parra, DVM, was extremely professional in his approach to handling our dog, Micah’s recent medical issue. He performed an ultrasound and provided us with a thorough explanation of his findings and recommendations for treatment. By administrating prescribed medications and following the advice of Dr. Parra, Micah has made a steady recovery and is currently asymptomatic. We were most impressed with Dr Parra’s ability to clearly articulate his findings and recommendations. He was also very generous with his time.”

I was very pleased that your staff call to check on my dog two days after our visit and Dr. Caro called two days after that to ask how my dog was doing and tell me the radiologist reading on his x-rays. Thank you so much for all that your staff did and for checking up on my dog after our visit. I will recommend your services to anyone who has a pet and is in need of emergency care.”

“I was given an appointment in a reasonable amount of time. The staff was wonderful and very kind to myself and Harlow. I love that they have you wait in a private room rather than sitting in a waiting room with other dogs as not all dogs get along with others and this is far less stressful for the dogs. Dr. Riordan was excellent. She gave a complete exam, explained everything and was very cautious with treatment plan knowing that bulldogs can have all sorts of complications. She was able to get me into cardiology a month earlier. I feel completely confident in her recommendations and treatment plan. She personally called me the following morning to update me on lab work and discussion she had with cardiology. I highly recommend her.”

“My wife and I went to them for a second opinion. Dr. Kraiza had the disadvantage of us coming from a bad experience so to say I was apprehensive, demanding, confrontational, and standoffish would be accurate and for that I apologize.

I could tell she sensed my angst, the gravity of the situation, and genuinely wanted to help. Our pets are precious family members. My wife and I don’t have children (yet) but we love our pets as if they are our human children.

If you want someone to treat your furry kids like you expect an MD to, demand Dr. Kraiza. She handled my temper, angst, and body language like a champ. It’s crystal clear to me that she is passionate about what she does and won’t settle for ambiguity. She wants to know with as close to certainty as it gets, what’s wrong with your pet. That’s worth it’s weight in gold.”

I was called with updates and was invited to call or come in whenever I wanted. My dog is 11 and 1/2 years old and if I’m ever in need of an emergency veterinarian again I will definitely come here again. I am from Clarence, NY and I have a home down in Estero as well. I am so glad I found this hospital on the internet and all the positive reviews helped me make the decision to go here. I have nothing but good things to say about this veterinarian hospital.”

“From the phone call to make the appointment to all the follow up calls, you can tell that the Doctors and all staff members truly care about your pet. They are compassionate, very thorough and explain everything that they need to do and all of the results. Dr. Parra was Toby’s Doctor and Grace was the Vet Tech. Both were amazing! Dr. Parra is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything in a way I could easily understand. They followed up right away with our regular Vet so that everyone involved in Toby’s Care was up to date on his treatment and recommendations. I wish Dr. Parra could train Human Medical Doctors how to interact with their patients!”

She followed up the next day and again when test results came back. Love, love, love the Practice.”

Both doctors performed a surgery on my dog and I am very happy with both doctors. Everything has been very thorough from details on exams, recommendations for procedures, financial estimates and follow up care process. I had to leave my dog for hospitalization boarding and they sat with me to go over how my dog likes everything including his food, sleeping habits, water intake etc. Dr. Goodrich has been great at comforting me through the process and providing daily updates. I truly appreciate the doctors and staff at FVRC for providing a positive experience during a difficult time.”

Normally when you go to hospitals the discharge paperwork is very generic. Dr Mosley’s discharge plan was individualized and the discharge instructions were clear. It was an hour drive from Captiva Island, but with the care received, we would have traveled further. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Olivia.”

“Dr. Riordan is amazing in every way! After I left the hospital with my doggie, Dolly, Dr. Riordan found the time to do extra research on our case. She also spoke to a cardiologist, and my vet – Dr. Marc, and others to find the best treatment plan. She knew that I was concerned so she called me the very next morning at 8:00 AM to discuss her findings and shared the updated treatment plan with me! Dr. Riordan not only focuses on what is best for the pet, but also takes into consideration the pet Mom (in this case) and what is best there too! She is kind, considerate, thorough, professional, brilliant, open to others’ input, and goes the extra mile to make sure the highest care is given! I won’t go anywhere else for this kind of treatment! I guess she is just “stuck” with my furbabies and me! Thanks so much!”
