“I posted in an LGBTQ+ group for folks living in Gainesville who have a vet they would recommend. Tobías Veterinary Services was recommended by a few people so I gave them a call.
When I called them, I confirmed right away that they were LGBTQ+ friendly, they assured me they were.
They were able to give me transparent prices for the things we were interested in, + the $75 home visit fee. Which ended up being significantly less than our former vet was charging for an in office visit.
That $75 fee for house calls is so very worth it.
They showed up early— Dr. Porcher with 2 vet techs. They were all lovely from the beginning to end and they included our 6 year old daughter in the care they provided.
One of our cats is a formerly feral cat and is very traumatized by vet care and they were great with her— and they let my daughter be a source of comfort for our old kitty.
They explained everything to us- made suggestions, and helped us make good decisions for our pets.
When they left we made a follow up appointment for a booster for our doggo. They came back last week and gave her the booster.
Dr. Porcher brought a goodie bag for our aspiring veterinarian 6 year old— with real (safe) medical supplies to add to her doctor kit. Dr. Porcher said she was so sad that Maya wasnt home at the time of the visit but looked forward to seeing her again.
Clearly the visit was not about our kiddo, but their approach to animal medicine is like family medicine—-an approach I really appreciate.
I foresee having a long relationship with the good people of Tobías Veterinary Services. And look forward to the next time they lovingly care for our pets.“
