Northdale Animal Hospital

This Vet means business! Here to focus on our furry loved ones. Not the glitz and the glamour. Wait times are minimal, doesn’t over charge and provides clear instructions. More vets should be like him.

The ambience of this office feels straight out of 1970s Philadelphia — run-down, unwelcoming, and poorly maintained. Honestly, this facility is a slum at best, but everyone inside carries on as if it’s business as usual. I brought in a dog I’m fostering — literally trying to save his life — specifically because he had a rash, bumps, and was constantly itching. Based on my experience with dogs and conversations with other experienced owners, I suspected a skin yeast infection, which can also cause the coughing from hair irritation. Still, I decided to visit this animal hospital to consult a professional. The doctor was actually kind and seemed genuine. Unfortunately, the office manager runs the place like a money mill — focused entirely on squeezing every possible dollar out of people rather than actually helping animals. I came in for a skin issue. I left with charges for heartworm medication, flea medication, cough medication, antibiotics, vaccines, and of course, the office visit fee. Total bill: $381. And yet, my dog’s condition has only gotten worse — the bumps are larger, the itching more severe. When I called to ask if they’d at least honor the visit charge since the main issue wasn’t resolved, the answer was a flat “no.” Next time, I’ll go back to Harmony Vet — they actually care about the animals, not just the invoices.

From the front office staff to the doctor nothing but great things to say. My pug has seen so many vets for his skin and ear issues and after coming here one visit the doctor knew right away what was wrong . The service here is unmatched and very affordable! Highly recommended!

This is my first time owning an American Bully, came here for my pup to get his ears cropped. Definitely would recommend! The doctor made sure all my expectations were met! I was very picky on the shape/size & a clean cut. The staff were amazing answering all my questions and concerns. Attached are pictures when i first pick him up, a week after, & after the stitches were removed. Thank you all for your help!

Dr. Hong and his staff are amazing. My 17 yr old, Dalmatian has been a very happy patient for eight years. Recently, I took my tiny, 5.5lb, 11 yr old Chihuahua, Daniella, in for a teeth cleaning (very heavy plaque build up) because I had the option of not putting her under to complete the procedure. Wow! The procedure was fast, through and I was able to save one of her back molars (at least for now). The fee was under $55. As long as the owner is willing to participate in the process...Dr. Hong offers an amazing option to the high-cost, lengthy procedure available at most vet offices, where the pet is first put under a general anesthesia.Thank you Dr. Hong and staff. Northdale Animal Hospital -You guys are the best!! Update: my amazing dal lived to be 18 yrs old; with Dr. Hong & staff's excellent care. ❤ I can never thx them enough. Now my newest family member; Ana, is a patient too. We always plan a trip to Desoto dog beach after; as we travel from Winter Park for our appointments!
