Our female German Shepherd was boarded at Gainesville Animal Hospital West for three days. When we came back she was abused and neglected. She was so bad, the ER emergency veterinarian stated that we she put her down. Do not place your care of your animals in hands of the people at Gainesville Animal Hospital West, your Animal might not make it back alive.

I use the West location. All the doctors are new now and extremely young. I honestly feel any 5 star ratings West location has were from Dr. Coverdill and she isn't there anymore. Neither is Dr. Bills or vet tech Andy. Last visit I brought in a rescue cat whose prior paperwork said she was 10. The extremely young doctor wrote down that she is 18 even though her teeth were healthy and eyes are not cloudy like an old senior cat. I spend ALOT of money here it would be nice if they would get at least one experienced vet rather than all recent graduates.

My poochie was a nightmare dressed like a daydream! Until one day when I went in and found Carlos the dog trainer's flyer, I was like what's so different about him, I already went for private training and my dog is still a crazy nightmare, then I read on and saw that he did drop off training and over night boot camp. I immediately contacted him and met him on a Sunday and left my Bull Terrier Pit for 2wk boot camp, she actually took an extra wk cause she was so stubborn, When I went to pick her up 3 wks later, he gave me and my son training so everything is consistent with what he taught her. I took her home did what he said before we got in the house, she was so calm, didn't chase the cats, I was impressed, then I took her out for a walk, with the cats zooming by, she didn't pay them any mind, didn't pull me down the street, she walked next to me, she is like a different dog, I took her to the pet store, omg, I came out of there calm instead in an anxiety attack, she was calm, stayed by me, didn't go nuts and not barking at everything. I have to say Carlos is a dog miracle worker, you have to contact him at Gainesville Animal Hospital if you have a dog that's crazy hyper, or just needs some behavioral modifications, you won't be sorry.

They are very sketchy about the life-time free shots. (You pay $70 for life time shot plus $50 a year for check up in order to keep the free shot. )Don't do the plan it's not worth it because you still have to pay for other fees. Not worth the money. Also they like to give you a surprised bill if you don't ask about the cost of the service. I brought my dog there for an eye check up and it seems like the vet is not so sure of what he needs to do. Because the vet wants to do an eye stain, however, he also want to refer my dog to another vet. Not sure what is the purpose of referring me if he think the eye stain or the check up will not help the dog. What is the point of charging for service if he is not sure what he can really do to help? Eh forget about the check up $ and the " $70 life time free shot" because is not free I still have to pay for "dog tag" what a waste of time and money I will never go back. Also with home remedy my dog eye is 100% cure. I felt so dumb after spending $68 for the last eye check up.

Dr. Sameck and his staff are a class act. We would highly recommend this veterinary practice (as well as the affitliated East location on 6th Street).

I had to put my 18 year old cat to sleep very suddenly. These lovely people were able to accommodate us very last second and handled my old girl with diginity, never rushing and let me stay with her as long as I needed. This was just a couple hours after having to bring in my younger cat (for a completely unrelated and chronic condition). Very kind, caring, and professional staff. Thank you for treating my younger cat (she was looking much better after just a day!) and seeing my old gal last minute.

I support all dog businesses in Gainesville, FL especially the ones who offer dog training. All dogs need it, even the good dogs.

Priscilla Caplan

They are not even my vet, but when I needed someone to see an injured dog on a Saturday afternoon, I went to GAH West because they were open until 4:00. Everybody was wonderful, especially Dr. Hampton and a vet tech named Corey. They treated the dog even though it meant staying until nearly 6:00, and they were welcoming, kind, communicative and reassuring throughout. I'm thinking of transferring my own pets here.

Scott Bird

Such a great group of staff and veterinarians.

Sylvia Villalobos

Friendly/helpful thank you!

Corbin Brown

Amazing and informative people! My dog Ylva felt completely at ease which is REALLY awesome when she is normally extremely anxious!

Virginia Deas

. Would not think of taking our pups anywhere else. Have been loyal customers for over 20 years. The vets and staff will treat you and your pets like family.

Emmanuel Cardona

Boarded my dog for a week ended up getting a free day and bath! Got my pup back smelling clean and happy. The only issue would be the requirements of 6 month flu vaccines when we get him done yearly, but they provide it for a pretty cheap cost

Holly Williams

I've been bringing my pets here for some time and have always gotten excellent treatment and follow-up care whether for just a routine exam, or a more serious issue. Great vets and staff, they are flexible to your schedule too.

Johneen Fetrow

Great prices and friendly staff

Kenneth Smith

Because I needed to have my dog looked at and seeings I didn't have all the money they would look at my dog.

Felicia Lynette

The people at the front desk had to keep getting up, go to the back and ask the Vet Dr for the answers to every question I had. Ridiculous!

Cam Parker

Dr. Sameck has the biggest heart and truly cares for you and yours.

Thomas Garcia

They treat you and your mascot with professionally.

Coey Carroll

It breaks my heart that Lulu's surgery was cancelled/refused this morning for petty and irrelevant reasons. I suggest your veterinarians gloss over their motivations for pursuing careers in this field.

Christine Shumate

Compassionate is what I can say about this vet they were outstanding while making a very hard decision

I recently got a new puppy and decided on Gainesville Animal Hospital because it is close to my home and because I have known the owner for many years. While Dr. Sameck does not work out of this location, I was impressed with his associate. I really like the "Free Vaccines for Life" program that Gainesville Animal Hospital has. Basically, you pay a nominal one time enrollment fee and with only a few exceptions, all of your vaccines are free. The prices for other services at this animal hospital are comparable to other veterinarians, so it really comes down to the quality of the staff and doctors for me. If your are looking for a veterinarian who will talk to you in plain English and answer all of your questions thoroughly (not watching the clock), then I highly recommend any if Gainesville Animal Hospital's three locations (East, West and Archer).
