I found Dr. Smith a few years ago when I moved into the area. He & his staff have been great with me & my 6 dogs. A couple of years ago we moved about 10 miles away and I still take my pack to Dr. Smith passing probably 8 or 10 other vets on my way. I highly recommend him. Will Thomas

First of all, I am not the type of person that does online reviews, but my experience with Dr. Dave Smith at the Sarasota Veterinary Center needs to be known. My Min Pin was treated like family and Dr. Dave was very thorough with his explanation and recommendations to get my best friend back on track. His compassionate and caring demeanor is obvious the minute we started explaining the symptoms. I was also very impressed with the smell, (or lack of I should say) of the exam room. I was fresh and clean unlike other vets I have been to in the past. Thank You Dr. Dave for providing a GREAT service in the Sarasota community!

Based on the first hand experience with this clinic, the doctor and their office manager ,the only thing they care is the money with no respect to the customer and his concerns and opinions. After coming to them with our Dachshund, Buffy who had stomach pain they were unable to find anything and were unable to help her - instead, they ambushed the customer with the list of not needed services they're "rendering" without giving the warning that this will result in hundreds of dollars worth of bill. When I called to file the complaint and express our concerns about their lack of real treatment or at least proper diagnosis I was given "we are professionals and we can do what we think is good" and you just need to pay for this. When my wife was buying a pill next day, the doctor asked her to come in to his office and REPRIMANDED her, saying our complaint was RUDE. Next day I was told "good luck with my formal actions" I planned to follow with their response to my initial call. NOT ACCEPTABLE business practices instead of a professional help the dog need.

They are very knowledgeable and caring. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. The most important thing is that we trust them with our pet. They always take the time to explain everything to me and my wife. We feel so blessed to have found them. Our pet is a very important part of our family. We highly recommend them.

Very Professional. Very Thorough. Very Honest and Reasonable. Thanks so much for taking care of our new puppy "Angel" and glad i was able to find such a reputable and knowlegable vet for our dogs!
