Just wondering what's gong on with that place. I asked the receptionist and she said nothing has changed in years?? Same owner, etc. This place is very close to us but I think we will switch to Mulberry unless someone can highly recommend Villages Vet.

We have been using this practice for 15 yrs. It is owned by Dr Valdez, who is an exceptional vet. He works primarily in the office in Fruitland Park (Park Heights Vet). We always saw the same vet, I believe her name was Dr. Rachael ??, but we recently changed to the Fruitland Park office just so we could be seen by Dr. Valdez. I see by both websites that there are only 2 veterinarians associated with the practice. I do know that the staff in TV has been the same for 15 years, so they must be happy with their job and we never had a problem in TV. I will say it was always about 250.00 per animal, so I got checking around trying to find a practice that did not try to rape The Villagers. I tried a couple and found their prices ending up being the same. So, I decided to try Bancroft at Petsmart. Was told when I called what their rate was and it was significantly cheaper. Ha Ha.... it was a la carte. When I left, I was still "out" over 200.00. My husbands father always told him to go to school to be a veterinarian, that it was a very lucrative profession as people would pay anything to save their little furry friends..... guess his father knew what he was talking about. But to answer your question, I have complete trust in The Villages Vet......
