I honestly cannot say enough great things about St. Johns Vet Clinic. We have been taking our babies there for a few years and I have always, always been highly impressed with them; however, a more recent loss for our family proved to me just how much they care. Our Marlow, an 8-year-old Golden Retriever was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. We opted out of aggressive therapy, as we did not want to have him undergo any invasive procedures...and instead...we chose to allow him to live his life to the fullest. Given this we decided to start him on acupuncture with Dr. Wihbey. The acupuncture really helped him with his pain and improved his mobility. Unfortunately we woke up one morning and Marlow was unable to walk. We called the clinic as soon as they opened and they told us to rush him in. Long story short, our boy had to be put to sleep, which was devastating for us. Thankfully our absolute favorite vet, Dr. Wihbey, was there with us. She cried with us, hugged us, and really took extra steps to help make the process a little more bearable. I can say honestly that without Dr. Wihbey, we would never have been able to get through it, as her support didnt stop there. She sent us a lovely card with a note telling us how much Marlow meant to her. Additionally, the clinic made a donation to the University of Florida Veterinary School in Marlows name, which touched us beyond words. Sometimes we forget that our babies can impact not only our lives, but the lives of others and it is evident that Marlow did just that to Dr. Wihbey. So if you are looking for a wonderful veterinarian for your babies, I truly cannot say enough about this group. All our interactions with the doctors were wonderful...but of course we have a special place in our hearts for Dr. Wihbey, as she is someone we will never forget. We also feel that the support staff at the clinic are great. In particular, Bryce was a fantastic and caring tech that immediately fell in love with our new Ragdoll kitten, Angus, that we got right before our beloved Marlow left us. Again, they are excellent and given we do not typically write reviews for businesses, that says a lot. - Cara and Ron

I recommend this office highly. They gave my golden retriever an additional 6 months of happy life with acupuncture. Typically I would not have done this type of medicine/therapy, but so many friends told me about Dr. Wihby in my neighborhood - and they were right. She is amazing - and the office is so warm and friendly. Initially when I first moved to St. Johns County - we tried another vet, by comparison - St. Johns Veterinary Clinic is far superior - not only with their kindness and compassion - but overall fees. When the day came that it was time for our best friend to cross over, they cried with us, for us and it was like we were all family. Our pets are our family members. You need to select their doctors the same way you select your childs pediatricians. With care and diligence. I cant say enough about the service, the compassion and empathy as well as the fairness. We will forever miss our big blonde friend and will forever be grateful for the extra 6 months that Dr. Wihby gave us. With gratitude..... Scott and Sue

You could not ask for more caring and compasionate vets. I have been going to St. Johns Veterinary Clinic for several years and have never experienced anything but outstanding service. They were so wonderful when I had to put my dog to sleep. He was 14 years old and had cancer. They always took alot of time with me and answered any questions I had. If a test was needed they explained it and why. I would trust the veternarians who work at this hospital more then I trust my own doctor. I think what we as owners should remember is that our animals can not tell the doctor what hurts or why they feel bad, so running test is one of the ways they find out what is wrong. I commend the doctors and staff at St. Johns Veterinary Clinic and will continue to bring my animals to them.

My first experience with St. Johns was after my dog was bitten by a Moccasin.They were ready and waiting for me and literally holding the door open. The care was so efficient my dog was released the next am. While I was in the back I noticed lots of small furry creatures so this week I went by with an infant squirrel that had fallen from the nest and had injuries. They took it in. No concern what so ever for money and offered to treat him until he was ready to go to the ARC a rehabilitation facility here. I was blown away by this. They take in any wounded or stray critters that need attention just out of their kindness and philosophy .They arent funded to do this, they just do. If I ever win the lottery , theyre getting a big chunk! Thank you St. Johns!

We went here after a HORRIBLE experience at another vet. Our cat was VERY sick and my other vet said they did not "have time" to see us. They recommended that we go to St Johns and they were GREAT! They were so nice to my kitty and they took a long time doing everything they could do to make him comfortable. The staff is SO nice and the doctors are great!!! We will forever take our pets here now and we wont go anywhere else! They take the time to give you options, they talk through things with you and they are never too busy to ask questions. We have called them a few times and they answer our questions or have someone call you back. Truly the best vet in St. Augustine!

I wont Ever go back to this veterinary office. I came in really concerned about my dog. Throwing up. They did xrays and tells me she has a foreign object in her stomach. She suggested emergency surgery or endoscope. But the endoscopic may not work. So we choose the surgery. They sent us to there partner vet office. Had surgery they found nothing. My dog was missed diagnosed. My dog had surgery for no reason. We are out the vet fee that they charged us and the other for a surgery that wasnt needed. Word of mouth goes a long way. I have four animals this place lost my business. Just because they only want money they dont care about their patients.

The staff were friendly and professional. I was given an appointment quickly, even though we are just visiting the area, and they had not seen my dog before. He needed a growth removed. That was again scheduled quickly. The cost was exactly as estimated by the clinic. All went well. Could not ask for a better experience. Received veterinary services again in Nov 2016. Very pleased with the care my pet received. Just picked my dog up from his grooming 12/16. Hope did a wonderful job! I will ask for her any time we are in the area. I am going to take a picture of him to use as an example for future groomers as we travel!

Our dogs have been going there for a little over a year. We have 3 dogs that really like all the Dr.s. They did surgery to fix a hernia on our youngest dog. The staff really seems to know alot and they are really nice. We had to put our cat down and they showed alot of compassion and helped us make the hard decision by just being there. Our dog Cooper goes there for their doggie daycare and he loves it. They have wonderful customer service and although they may not be the cheapest in town, the services they offer and the personal care and attention MORE than make up for it. We recommend them to ALL of our friends.
