I used to love going to this vet office, but my usual vet is not longer there. My dog was having internal bleeding and not holding anything down. I was extremely freaked out and rushed him to San Juan, since my vet wasn't there anymore I had to see someone different Dr. O'Keefe and he was terrible. He just rushed us out the door because it was close to closing time. He did the bare minimum and sent us on our way with a fat bill. I will never be taking my animals here again. The lack of care or concern for me and my pup was unreal.

Took our cat here because the longer car ride to our old vet in our old neighborhood is a little much for her. This office was so very kind and understanding. We know our sweet lady is declining and the doctor was super respectful in discussing treatment options. She ended up having treatment overnight and the staff called us to let us know how she was doing. No dramatics (a pet peeve of mine with some vets - pun intended) just kind frankness.

These incompetent morons couldn't even correctly identify kennel couch.
Gave my dog an antibiotic that treats STAFF INFECTION and steroid shots to treat, and I quote, "a sore throat- somethings going around".
Whelp- little dude has kennel couch and their dumpster diagnosis was wrong once again.
Stay away from this place.
Reporting to the AVMA as this is the SECOND time they have prescribed the COMPLETE wrong medication. Their incompetence could have seriously injured or killed my boy.

I can not say enough wonderful things about San Juan Animal Hospital and the entire staff. The care and compassion they show my animals and family go above and beyond, whether it is a routine visit, medical emergency or when we have faced end of life care. My family has used San Juan Animal Hospital my entire life as our vet (even when I lived outside of Jax I came home to San Juan for care) and now it is where I seek care for my dog and 3 cats. My dog actually thinks of it as one of his happy places and loves to just go visit. The staff know my pets on sight and by name, they know their silly

I will admit the price $$$ isn't cheap, but I always feel like my dog is taken care of. My 7 year old dachshund has pancreatitis, it has been managed for a year + now. The vets all seem to really care about the pets, and take the time to explain many things you might not know about whatever condition your pet has. When my dog isnt feeling well, they give me a call and ask how shes doing. I also want to point out that this was the only place that gave my dog antibiotics when she had a UTI. I had taken her to another practice in avondale, who had denied her antibiotics for over a month when

Bottom line:
Doctors (5 stars)
Facilities (5 starts)
Front office staff (2 stars)
Technicians (3 stars)
Ive brought my pet to this hospital a handful of times for exams, surgery, medication pickup, etc. and my experiences seem to be getting worse. I want to preface with sharing that the doctors are professional, informative, gentle with your pet, and ensure all your questions are answered. And the facilities are clean and kept up, but the support staff is lacking.
Receptionists are not always professional and do not seem to think clients are a priority. I've had a receptionist make eye contact

It's nice to have confidence in the animal hospital you take you furry family member, we have for over a decade. The doctors and staff ARE GREAT!!!
Our first vet, Doctor Chick, moved out of state about a year ago to start his own practice. We were so sad, as Milia was slipping. Doctor Bennett took over care of Milia, and we could not have been more pleased. He continued Doctor Chick's path until it was time. He could have done all sorts of orders for $$$, but he didn't, unfortunately his only time to meet Milia was the day we said goodbye.
Not too long after we lost Milia

My Chewbacca has been using San Juan as our vet since she was 8 weeks old. Every doctor we've seen has been very knowledgeable and helpful. The most recent time we went was for Chewbacca to get her annual shots and a checkup.
Unfortunately she had an adverse reaction to the flea medication, Trifexis, which I will never use again ever. I took her back 5 days later and learned she lost .8 of a pound from vomiting and from diarrhea. The doctor (Bennett) listened to symptoms and responded with sympathy. He even called the maker of the pill company and they paid for the bloodwork and the office

I had a terrible experience here when I took my cat in about a year ago. To begin with, the staff at the front desk was not welcoming or friendly at all. The vet techs didn't even introduce themselves when they came in the room - didn't even look me in the eyes - and just started handling my cat.
The vet seemed very knowledgeable, however, a bit brash. When he walked in the back room where the other vet techs were, all I could hear was him yelling at them. He seemed totally unhinged.
They took my cat to the back a few times for a blood test and an x-ray. When they brought her back to

Being a new customer, I was somewhat apprehensive. That feeling disappeared pretty much when I entered the facility. Spacious and clean comes to mind. The staff were all courteous and professional. And the two doctors that I have dealt with (for my two terriers) were great and both took the time to explain treatments and answer any questions. There was no feeling of being rushed at all.
Also having multiple doctors means more hours of coverage. When you are having an emergency, this benefit becomes very obvious. I can personally attest to this.
And, best of all, they are in my neighborhood

Had a coupon - and I love me a coupon - and a great experience here. Sumi was totally fine and it was just my mom who had convinced me there had to be something wrong because she was constantly eating and always hungry. "Guess what ?" said Dr. Guill. Sometimes some cats get real hangry, and lucky me Sumi is one example of a hangry cat. But she's fine. AND maybe the first time ever I have taken a cat to the vet and been told her teeth look fine. This is number two and both of them had the worst teeth on the planet so now she's looking good and I'll be making SJVH my vet

This office staff is a revolving door of unprofessional people. They have files and can never find anything. The person in charge is NEVER there. NEVER. Today marked the 3rd time I asked to speak to the manager/owner, "sorry he's not here today". After giving a written list of meds, $500+ worth of meds, I was given the wrong items and then made to feel like it was my fault. I'm shocked they have such a high rating. The last time I tried to address the issues of professionalism the younger vet laughed in my face. I guess she thought it was funny. It is really a shame

I cannot say enough great things about San Juan Animal Hospital. Like everyone else who has written reviews, my dog is my baby - I literally have him tattooed on my arm if that gives you any idea of how much I care for him. Picking a vet is a difficult task, as I have a laundry list of things I'm looking for. Having just moved to Jax, I happened to hit the right one on the first try.
First off, this office has multiple people working the front desk. I'm not having to wait for one or two receptionists to finish with another client before getting to me. I appreciate that they have several

I really do not understand the reviews. Everytime I go here, the parking lot is packed. They work with many rescues and have one of the longest running practices in Jacksonville. You get what you pay for in animal care and San Juan Animal Hospital takes care of my two dogs and cat.
I am most impressed by the vet techs, who are all friendly to my pets and who also work together as a team. The doctors are the best part of the practice, for sure, and they are really good at what they do. I know one of the doctors has a special place in his heart for my dog's breed and he always jokes that he
