This was my first time taking my pet here and was extremely pleased! The staff here are amazing, and Ashley was such a sweetheart! Dr. Palm and Juan were very helpful during our visit and answered all my questions! Thank you! Would highly recommend coming here!

Excellent service and I feel very safe taking my pets here. I had a pet ER emergency last night and they fit me in first thing this morning. They talked the situation through with me and I feel confident that my cat is in good hands here. I would definitely recommend them.

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.

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!

Dr. Palm saved one of my 2 cats. My male cat was unable to urinate. There was a block. Dr. Palm perform a successful surgery. I'm very grateful to the stuff, especially Ashley, who was very perceptive to my cat's unfortunate emergency and who booked us in ahead of everyone. Thank you thank 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.

Looking for a vet close to home, I decided to try the Hiawassee Vet Clinic. The building was beautiful and clean. The staff was very warm and friendly. And Dr. Palm was wonderful. Not having dogs for several years but having two new puppies, I had many, many questions. Dr. Palm answered them all with patience and honesty. His knowledge and kindness made me feel welcome and comfortable. A week or two after my first visit my old maine coon cat needed to be seen right away. This cat is big and not people friendly. I warned everyone there that he could act out. Dr. Palm was cautious yet gentle and handled Casper with ease. I have also chosen alternative surgeries for my pups and although Dr. Palm doesn't perform these surgeries at this time he and his staff have been incredibly supportive with my decision. I could not ask for a better vet! Ashley is delightful! Juan is awesome! And Becky is very nice too! I will continue with the Hiawassee Vet Clinic and highly recommend them!
