I feel the best is Buffalo Ridge. The main hospital is off 466 and a sattellite on 466a by Winn Dixie

Dr. Porter in Wildwood in the strip mall with Ace’s is good. He doesn’t push for unreasonable tests, etc. Another good vet is Dr. Valdez in Fruitland Park. He is a little more expensive but probably the most knowledgeable vet around here (per my bridge partner, a retired vet, who subbed for all of the vets around here).

Default Another for Dr. Porter

We use Dr. Porter in Wildwood. We have found him to be very reasonable and our dogs have done well under his care.
