Shey's has been so great the past year or so we've been coming. They really treat my dog well and do a great job of helping me understand what will keep her healthy and happy. I'm looking forward to the day where I don't have to wait in the car the whole time, but I understand why they are still careful about COVID. Hoping I get to go in with her soon!

I love Dr. Alber. He is funny, kind and compassionate. They're doing the best they can with Covid but I do miss being able to go in with my dogs and talk to the doctor face to face. His staff has always been really sweet. I took away one star because I have had two instances now where the medication dosage was wrong. Doesn't keep me from going there but definitely makes me nervous when I have to give my pugs medications. Just make sure you read the bottles and check the dosage. We should be able to trust this is correct but I guess we really should be checking all medications before taking

I absolutely adore Dr. Alber so much. He is gentle, kind, respectful, and an excellent doctor. He is amazing with my pups... but cannot stand his vet tech. At first I was so happy that we finally found a vet that we love and we can just stay with him until the end. Now, unfortunately, he has become so busy that I'm always dealing with his vet tech, who is aweful. She is very unprofessional and gives horrendous advice on things that she doesn't even have authority to speak about. I have been trying to stick around for Dr. Alber, hoping she will get fazed out but I just can't stomach

Dr. Alber and the staff at Shey's are great!
Dr. Alber has a great, calm demeanor with the animals and knows how to handle them without making the visit any more traumatizing than it already is for the little fur babies.
I wouldn't say they're the cheapest in the area, but they certainly are convenient and I trust my animals in their care so that's what's most important. The office itself is clean and well maintained. Parking can be a bit dicey in the little plaza, but that's usually later in the afternoon/evening that it fills up since you've got a pizza

I really want to like this veterinarian hospital, I like to support small business.
Poor communication and protocol. Did not call back when requested. Long wait time in the exam room. Records are wrong, I had to contact the practice multiple times to correct their data input error. Pricing is very high compare to other vets.
This part is not a factor in my star rating - but I have seen response from the practice to some of the customers' grievances, the response seem very hostile. Scroll down and take a look.

This Vet in Avalon park is where we take the dog and cats for their annual checkups and for emergency visits. It's convenient to Avalon park and sits next to Tijuana Flats. Parking can be an issue here so I suggest early appointments before the restaurants open.
With Covid precautions, you aren't allowed inside with the pets and everything is by phone. They call and open the door and take your animal. They poke and prod and eventually call you back and say they're done. They're like really polite informative alien abductors for pets. Prior to Covid, you would take the

I have taken my animals to Shey's since they opened. We have since moved 30 minutes away and still drive back to see Dr. Alber. If not for him, my senior cat would not still be alive, and I mean that literally.
This office always calls to check in after appointments. They will work you in when it's important. Most importantly, they care about your pets and it shows. I trust their recommendations and treatment options. Dr. Alber presents all pertinent information when discussing treatment options and helps us decide based on current research and potential risks.

First time visit and it was a great experience. First of all, the fact that they have weekend appointments is so great. Everyone was friendly and helpful. They were upfront about prices and seemed reasonable. No pressure to buy medication from them if I could find it cheaper elsewhere. The vet took his time and answered all of our questions. Great visit!

We had a great experience at Shey's veterinary hospital yesterday! We just rescued our pup and wanted to make sure she was healthy and to get a round of vaccines. Dr. Alber was so sweet and loving to our puppy, she was very comfortable there. The staff was prompt and friendly. This will definitely be our permanent veterinary office !

If I could give negative stars I would, Ive never been this disrespected in my entire life!! Unprofessional, disrespectful and sadly a disgrace of an office. Very dysfunctional and psychotic vet tech there that had it with me from the second she met me. Sadly this relationship ended with her screaming at me to leave her office. I hate even giving one star because they deserve none for letting this behavior go on.

DO NOT take your pet here. My dog now has to recover from a spine injury after they mishandled my pet!! 0 stars if i could. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! In less than an hour after bloodwork was drawn from this clinic, my pet was limping, crying in pain, unable to eat and couldn't turn his neck. As the day went on, he was unable to use his front or back legs correctly and would fall over if he attempted to walk. Had to take him to an emergency vet for morphine in hopes it would give him relief. I will never come back to this establishment. I now have to deal with a potential life-long issue after a

This was an amazing experience. The Dr. was super caring and loving towards our fur babies. He got on the ground, introduced himself to them, rubbed and loved on them before asking any questions. He was very understanding of my dogs anxiety and showed him nothing but love. Gave us great advice and asked the right questions to ensure we weren't getting more than we need for our fur babies. Highly recommended if looking for someone to be good to your pet.

We've seen quite a few vets over the years. Some bad, some mediocre and only one a stand out 5 stars.... that's Shey's!! The office is clean and love the cute wall painting, it always makes me smile going in. The electronic system is awesome and we love that it auto-orders our monthly flea/heartworm
meds. The best part is Dr. Alber.... he is hands down the most caring vet in all of central Florida (if not further). He definitely puts his whole heart into caring for your animal and it shows!

My cat woke me up early in the morning screeching in pain and after calling Shey's right away, I was able to bring my cat in and they saw him within 10 minutes of being there. Luckily it was only a large fecal blockage that was easy to extract. The vet was very sweet and the staff made me feel like my cat was in good hands. The price is very affordable as well, $38 for a regular exam and $68 for an urgent one. I didn't mind paying the extra fee especially after knowing my cat was going to be out of pain that quickly. I will definitely bring both my cats back here in the future.

I made an appt based on referral from All4Pets, which I'm a frequent customer. The atmosphere and staff ws extremely friendly and accommodating. I received estimates before any recommended service and I love that everything is electronic, affordable and they tailor the service based on your pets individual needs. They don't recommend unnecessary services to try and nickel ane dime you. Highly recommend Shey's Veterinarian Hospital if you're looking for fun, friendly, no nonsense, honest establishment. My min pin is certainly happy!!!

This places was awesome after looking around for a new vet I finally found this place. Prices are good and free nail trim with the visit which that's awesome. The vet tech was awesome she explained everything I needed to know and asked about my doggie lifestyle to adjust vaccination towards him and not our vaccines that he doesn't need. Also she came with cost estimates and asked me what I really wanted to do. Didn't pressure me at all on my dog getting a million things.
The actual vet he was awesome. He really seems like he care about the dog health and preventions. He also worked
