“I took my two rescue kitties in for mani-pedi. The cost was a bit more than my usual place and I was not able to go into the room with them which I prefer to do, so these two things disappointed me. But on the bright side, the assistant, Lux(sp?) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with my concerns.“
“Dr Vergne + her tech assistant Manuela are amazing ! I’ve been going to this vet since 2018 - highly recommend ! Isabella & Kayla at the front desk took care of me. No wait at all! Say hi to the fur babies at the front desk too! Pepper, Winston“
“I am very thankful for the kind compassionate service we received. I would like to say thank you Dr. Hefter and the team. The response time and hours worked so well for us and having the house visit option was perfect.“
“I want to say Dr. Rogers was great with our dog Chloe. He was very kind and gave us antibiotics, but even more importantly HOPE. Our dog was feeling better, and after a week we came in for a follow up. Him and his staff gave us great words of encouragement and advice on what we should do. I highly recommend him if you have a sick animal.“
“Five stars all the way! Top notch on every level. Dr Brandon is remarkable and the tech John was equally fabulous!!!!! So glad I started going here ?? so are my dogs ?“
“We received amazing care today. Dr Buss and Nahida were kind, gentle, empathetic and informative; everything we’d want in a specialist vet practice for our Pomeranian fur baby. Phenomenal!“
“I have a lost dog and brought the dog in to see if it was chipped. They came right out and checked. They took the info for the dog and said if they get contacted, they will call. Very nice, friendly, and warm people. They are a great part of the community. Thank you for your assistance.“
“updated: 09/16/2024<br>I absolutely love this vet practice. I'm sad that Dr. Billhartz is no longer with Southport, however the rest of the amazing staff still is! My girl Gracie ABSOLUTELY LOVEEESSSS going to the vet! TRUST ME, her past vet records at another practice in Georgia tells a completely different story. Dr. Marlar is INCREDIBLE and her entire team is INCREDIBLE! I trust Murray with my babies more than I have ever trusted any other vet tech ever. He has an amazing way with the animals. Murray is amazing and so are the other vet techs there, as well. Everyone in that office genuinely cares deeply about the animals and their best wellbeing. The reception team is truly underrated! - even though everyone comments on how sweet and kind they are I don't feel those words describe them good enough - they are hands down the absolute best! They are soooooooo thoughtful, welcoming, helpful, funny and loving toward every animal that walks through their doors! I can't say enough great things about Southport but I feel that the fact that I felt the need to provide 3 reviews/updates should speak volumes. I absolutely recommend this vet practice 100%. I thank them for everything they've done for me and my beloved pets.<br><br>100% GREAT experience on 10/05/2022 - Lived in Fort Myers and when hurricane Ian hit and the entire swfl area lost power, all of the vet offices were closed and lost a lot of their medications. My 15yr old guy was needing his Cytopoint shot and Southport Animal Hospital did not hesitate when I called them and explained our circumstance and asked if they could help and give William his shot - they said no problem. We drove 2 hrs, walked in and within 15 mins we were out the door with William receiving his shot. They were so warm and welcoming and empathetic.<br>...<br>Now, fast forward to today - I permanently move to Fort Lauderdale and am in need of a vet for a new dog I adopted and my cat. Guess who I immediately call. You bet, Southport Animal Hospital! And let me tell you, with my new dog, Gracie, she has a history of aggression at her old vet office (her previous family made sure I had all of her records) ....so needless to say, I was so apprehensive about how her vet visit would go. So far, she has been to Southport Animal Hospital twice and saw Dr. Billhartz (LOVE HER!) and Dr. Bufalieri (LOVE HIM!) and both times Gracie walked out of the office confident and happy!!!! She loves loves loves Heather, Liz, and the whole reception team! And she loves Murray and all the techs!! I feel 100% confident that she is going to be taken care of properly with love, kindness and understanding of her fear issues. This office is such a blessing to me and Dr. Billhartz who is chief in command is just kindness and love. And the rest of her team reflect that. Amazing people in this office. Loving, kind and thoughtful people in this office. I'm so grateful for them all.“
“The Doctors were quite kind and gave us extremely clear information on what, most likely, our pet is suffering from. The Doctors provided a logical plan for next steps, including tests and biopsies to help select the best treatment plan. The Support Staff were excellent as well.“
“Very friendly staff, especially liked the 4 legged receptionist! The office is professional and very respectful of your pets needs.“
“Oliver, my sheepdog and I went there last Saturday. They were more than comforting and accommodating. We were treated extremely well and highly recommend them.“
