Nature Coast Animal Wellness and Surgical Center, Brooksville FL

We have 9 dogs, 5 are Pitties and I have never experienced a place so accepting and loving towards this amazing, yet misunderstood breed.
I knew 6 years ago the very first time we took my special guy Harley, to see Dr. Stocker for his meniscus repairs we found a vet and staff/ (the techs and Desi are wonderful), we could trust.
Dr. Stocker has always shown care, and has taken the time to explain things Very thoroughly.
Yesterday we had abit of a emergency, and we met Dr. Morales who performed ear flap surgery on my boy.
She was just as caring and as thorough as Dr. Stocker has always been.
I HIGHLY recommend this facility for your 4 legged loved ones.

Thank you All for doing what you do!

Dr. Stocker is very thorough in his explanations of my dogs issues. He takes his time and goes over everything. All the staff have been exceptional.

Great vet. First one in 7 years to recognize that my dog had some leg birth defects and prescribed nutraceuticals to avoid bigger issues.

Just moved here a couple of months ago and ran out of heartworm meds for our three Shih Tzu rescues. So I had to find a new veterinarian, and I was worried that finding a good vet would be a challenge. Boy was I wrong! This veterinary practice is fabulous! I am so very happy to have found them. Everyone is friendly, patient, and caring, from the doctor to the front desk. I especially love both how comforting they are in handling the patients during exam and treatment and how they print out and explain all the costs and concerns before administering treatment. I recently brought in our elderly Prince (he's at least 14), and Dr. Tieslink suggested a once/month medication for his arthritis and discomfort in his hips and back legs. It made a HUGE difference for him, as he's prancing around like a youngster. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

On new year’s day, we had our beautiful 16 year old poodle have a seizure.we were scared for him.i called here and they said bring him in immediately.we found after the seizure, our jack could no longer stand.the staff was extremely kind, considerate and very helpful.i’ve also never seen such an incredibly clean veterinary facility.we had to put our sweet boy down and the dr was so professional, kind and caring.i highly recommend this veterinary hospital.kindness overload.

I am back with another review for an outstanding team! My best friend Chewie (GSD) came down with a bad ear infection. They scheduled me promptly and as always the staff was efficient, compassionate, and thorough. He had to had a procedure done and they called me with updates on how he was doing. I highly recommend them for your fur babies and for your peace of mind that they are in good hands!

This is the most caring vet office and staff I’ve ever used over the years. They really care for my Willow girl.
Dessi is the BEST and is always helpful and goes above and beyond to help my husband and me. Many thanks, Cindy and Steve, Willow too.

Everyone at this surgical center are wonderful! I would recommend this office for all your pets needs. My golden had to have ccl knee surgery and Dr. Stocker was great explaining everything to me so I could make the best decision for my dog. So thankful for all the staff.

We have been very happy coming to Nature Coast with our fur family. Our feline friend is ferocious for foreign faces and the team here treats her with respect even though it’s not reciprocated. The team raves over our puppy as if she were a part of their own family - you couldn’t ask for more.

Ani is our favorite vet tech (no offense to the others who are all amazing). Dr. Marin-Morales has been great each and every time. It always feels like a partnership rather than being talked at, IYKYK.

I recommend the team here to all pet owners. Picture attached for dog/cat tax.

This place deserves 10 star rating if there was a way to give a 10 star rating, I want to say thank you to the doctor and surgeon and the techs and surgery techs for all the great work they have done for my dog Buddy. They are very thorough with the patient and explain everything and even give time to ask questions so everything can be understood, they are upfront with any risks and they treat all the pets as star pets, it has been a privilege to have the doctor and staff help my pet in a serious time of medical need, they also were very sympathetic to the pets owners feelings with what is happening with the pet. The fact that they also contribute to helping other pets and their owners through charitable help from other people for people that could not necessarily afford like veterans, or the disabled is wonderful. I most likely will make a contribution soon myself through their business outreach to help others. If you are looking for the best care for your pet and the best in surgery then I would highly recommend Nature Coast Animal wellness. Again I want to really say thank you for saving my dogs life to everyone working at Nature Coast and keeping him alive through a delicate surgery.

Me and my dog received extra kindness/caring from the staff, technicians and doctor today I had good communications with the doctor- she answered all of my questions and explained well. I really appreciate the above and beyond treatment.

I was extremely impressed with the Dr.and staff. Communication and education was key. Wished I had found them sooner. Made my girl Ruby feel like a rock star.

I can’t recommend this team enough. They are so sweet and they figured out what was going on with my dog the same day. They are very detailed and never make the appointments feel rushed.

Dr. Stocker and his staff are absolutely wonderful. I had to have one of my dogs knees operated on and itwas a great success.

We have three dogs under the care for Nature Coast Animal Wellness and Surgical Center. We always receive prompt, accurate care and advice. The staff is wonderful, patient and efficient. Dr Stocker takes time to explain and teach.

Dr. Morales and staff are genuinely concerned about your pet's health and welfare. They are kind, considerate, compassionate and helpful.

The vets and staff are very nice. I have 2 timid huskies and they work with me to make sure they don't get to stressed out when we have to come in for checkups.

On June 9th we had an emergency with our dog. Buckwheat. We took him to a vet and after 430 something dollars we left there thinking waiting to get a call from her surgery center because they told us he needed surgery. We went home and that night buckwheat had a ruptured anal gland that blew through the side of his butt. I was having trouble getting him in to see the doctor.
On June 13, I called Nature Coast and explained the situation. They gave me an appointment for the same day. Dr. Marin was amazing. She is so kind compassionate and knowledgeable. We spent 2 hours there due to the emergency issue. Dr. Marin took the time to explain everything to us before treating Buckwheat and made sure we were comfortable with his care and treatment. We were sent home with meds and confidence in Dr. Marin and all the staff in this office.
So the outcome was he did not need surgery, she was able to take care of him in the office. I have only positive reports with the care and treatment. If you are looking for a vet Nature Coast is tops in my eyes. They truly care about your pet and you. Thank you Nature Coast.
