I took puppy to this clinic for the first time recently and soon as I walked in I was very impressed by the very clean smell of the clinic!! That made the first good impression! Along with that...the staff was very nice! And I absolutely loved the doctor! He took time to speak with me and he knew just what my puppy needed after giving her a detailed exam. She's doing much better these days. I highly recommend this clinic!! And I will go back for any future needs.👍😊❤️🙏💯

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.

I left a review about a year ago but wanted to leave another because I had another amazing experience today. After my dog suddenly fell ill they were able to get me in within the hour. Dr. Palm was amazing and was so good with my baby. He was honest and strait to point and explained things very throughly. He determined that the likely cause was toxic chemical from a recently treated lawn that my dog may have ingested. He told me about how wonderful my dog was and he even gave me his number since he was going to be out of the office. To check in and ensure all is ok. With squeezing me in last minute as well as all the test they ran (and waiting for results) i was in and out in less than an hour and a half. The ladies at the front desk are always so nice and pleasant and I love how they run the business. You stay in your car until you are ready to be put in a room. It’s very organized and not chaotic with animals running all over. I’m so glad I found this vet a year ago!

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 am a bit of a crazy cat mom so I was nervous transferring my cats to a new vet after we moved away from our old vet. Dr Palm and the staff at Hiawassee Vet put all my worries at ease. I was a bit early for my appointment and they took me right away and put my cat and I in a room. The vet came only minutes later to see us. Dr Palm was kind, personal, professional, and caring. Visiting a vet can easily be traumatic for cats but my cat was playing and chasing treats the second she got out of her carrier when we got home. No hiding under the bed for hours or being mad at me the rest of the day. And I attribute that to the gentleness shown at her visit by Dr Palm and team.

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.

My little lily went here for a little nip and tuck since she turned 7 months old. They took such good car of her, and they said she was such a good girl. The next two weeks we had no problem with her stitches. They even cut her nails for us! Which we appreciate, and we drove all the way from Cocoa to come see them! They did a great job!
