Absolutely fantastic! I'm so glad I was referred here by another vet! Dr. Palm and his staff are so helpful(especially Maria!), patient, caring, and understanding. They have taken wonderful care of my Boston Terrier, Rocky, and have managed to make a bad situation a bearable experience. Thank you so much!

COVID conscious, so you have to call when you arrive for your appointment.

A mask is requested to be worn at all times.

Appointment only.

All good and naughty dogs can get treats.

The vets and techs are energetic and helpful, you can even see them smiling through their face masks.

Feels more like a family doctor's, but for pets.

The interior is well appointed, everything is cleaned and sanitized. Since they are meticulous about cleaning up after you, they will be just as meticulous in taking care your pet and you.

I cannot thank this office enough for their services. From the receptionist to the vet tech to the vet himself. The entire experience was so far beyond amazing service. You can tell this office cares for pets and it’s not solely about money. This was my first visit with my cat, Kitty. They were able to get him seen and taken care of today. The cost was spot on and I didn’t feel badgered to do anything that was unnecessary. The vet sat down and explained his issue and the purpose of the medications administered. Thank you all so much for your help today!! I will never go to another vet office for any of my fur babies!

This has got to be the friendliest and most compassionate vet in all of Orlando! We were fostering a cat for a local rescue group. We realized that the foster (Tutu) wasn't feeling well, as she wasn't eating and her eyes were cloudy. Traditionally, we go to a low-cost animal vet but because of the pandemic the closest appointment we could get would be 3 1/2 weeks! We called Hiawassee Vet, as they had really good reviews online. They were able to see us the next day of our phone call. Very gracious, passionate, and caring vet and vet techs. They were upfront with us on what they thought we should do, if they were in our shoes, and were able to give Tutu some vitals and medicine that turned her around into a new kitty! 100% recommend this vet. Yes, it may be a drive from Downtown Orlando, but TOTALLY worth it.

Dr. Palm and the entire team are amazing. We have been bringing all of pets (dogs, cats, lizard and hedgehog) since 2015 and feel like family when we walk in. The quality of care is unmatched. Best veterinary team ever!

We have a feral cat that has been hanging around our backyard since he was about 3 months old. We have cared for him all his life as he is now approximately 4 years old. He showed up one day not using his left hind foot and the problem went on for nearly 6 weeks. We finally managed to trap him and were referred to Dr. Palm at Hiawassee Veterinary Clinic for treatment. They took excellent care of him and neutered him under the TNR program at the same time thanks to a referral from Cats-Can cat rescue.

Wonderful place from the front desk to the techs and vets. Not my primary but will absolutely go back. Love that they informed me of what was going on as they gave the exam to my dog. I also SO appreciate they gave me all options and told me what i didn't need to worry about instead of making me feel like a bad mom if i didn't get ALL of what they recommended. Highly recommend.

We have been taking our pets to Dr Palm for 8 years, and have always felt like they are a priority. They have been with us through many issues and not only did Dr. Palm work hard to understand what was going on, the staff kept in touch to make sure they were getting better. Their love for animals is obvious as you walk in the door and Becky and Jackie greet you, and Juan, David and Nicole all love on your pets as they are being treated. We would not take our babies anywhere but Hiawassee Veterinary Clinic!

This morning I had my first appointment at the Hiawassee veterinary clinic. I was very impressed with Dr Palm. He was very caring and compassionate with my 13-year-old dog, besides being professional and clearly knowledgeable with Addie’s situation. From my first call yesterday afternoon to set up an appointment through the vet techs coming in to administer injections etc. to the check out with V front desk staff, thank you I have to say everything was five star! There was absolutely nothing I could say that was less than a perfect visit! Considering I moved into this area a short time ago and just picked a name because they were in close proximity to where I live, I certainly hit the jackpot!
