as in all cases, what one has experienced colors one's views. I have had bad experiences with U of F vet. hospital. My neighbor took her dog there and because there were two dogs with the same name, her smaller dog was given the chemo dose of the much larger dog and almost died. remember, it's a teaching hospital so the vets treating you are in a residency often just out of vet school. there are oncologists at Blue Pearl in Tampa which is very easy to get to since it's to the north end of Tampa so just off the highway. I'm sure there are oncologists in Orlando as well. I took my dog to neurologist there but I found the one in Tampa was easier to find and I didn't have to drive thru the city.
