San Marco Animal Hospital, Jacksonville FL

I just got a puppy and they took time answering all of my questions! My family has used them for years and they have taken great care of all of our family dogs! The vets and techs are all so sweet and very helpful!

They were open on Easter Sunday, and all major holidays, extremely friendly towards me, and my pet! Everyone was very knowledgeable, and they try their best to educate people every step of the way with the treatment plan for your pet. Thanks for everything!

They have an excellent staff, great physician, and expedient appointments! Very happy. Will recommend.

The entire staff always seems to be thoughtful, considerate, & kind whenever I bring Shimmer, my dog, in. I've never had any issues with the care provided or how my dog is treated.

I would highly recommend San Marco Animal Hospital to anyone in the area; especially with their weekend hours, it is very easy to work around your schedule.

My wife and I took our beloved cat, Maldrin, to Dr. Gutta because he’d lost weight and was drinking more than usual. Dr. Gutta examined him thoroughly and knew immediately that it would be one of three things. He explained everything to us and communicated very well to make sure we understood everything. He tested for the three things and diagnosed Maldrin with diabetes.

Dr. Gutta detailed Maldrin’s treatment plan and answered all of our questions. He didn’t rush us in and out. He was patient and thorough. Due to Maldrin’s history of UTIs, Dr. Gutta wanted to test him for any infections, but also wanted to send out a sample to be tested for which kind of antibiotic would be the most effective if he does have an infection.

Other vets that we’ve gone to have just cycled through antibiotics, charging us for many that never worked and instead made our cat sick. Our last vet didn’t test for everything and Maldrin’s brother died because of it. His brother wasn’t diagnosed until it was too late and he died at the vet that same day. We’d been taking him there for months prior.

Yes, SMAH is expensive. But you get what you pay for. I didn’t feel like Dr. Gutta was exploiting my love for my cat in order to charge us more. He was being thorough and making sure Maldrin gets the very best treatment. Because of Dr. Gutta, Maldrin will be okay.

If you want a vet to save you money, go somewhere else. My old vet in another city saved us money, but caused us the greatest grief of our lives thus far. I would have done anything to save my cat. He was sick for months with the same symptoms as Maldrin. Dr. Gutta is knowledgeable and experienced. He knew immediately what to test for and he didn’t cut corners in Maldrin’s care. It’s costing us an arm and a leg, but we don’t care because Maldrin is alive and he’s going to be okay. Money comes and goes and it’s all the same. Your pet is an individual and there will never be another like them. So if your love your pet like we love ours, if they have a serious issue, bring them here. Dr. Gutta will do everything in his power to care for your baby.

Oh and I can’t forget the wonderful techs! They were very kind and friendly. They were sweet with Maldrin and he liked them very much.

Also, SMAH offers wellness plans. Maldrin will require care for the rest of his life, so the wellness plan will save us a lot of money over the years.

In town briefly and they coordinated a quick appt for a vaccination for my pup. Great staff. Efficient and friendly.

This is the best vet I've ever dealt with. My cat has been to many vets, as he has always had a lot of medical issues, and Dr. Gutta is the best I've seen. He is very attentive, explains everything thoroughly, and is very good with animals. My cat was diagnosed with diabetes, and Dr. Gutta examined him from teeth to toes to make sure he got the proper diagnosis. He then worked out a treatment plan with us and showed my wife and I how to administer our kitty's insulin injections. The vet techs were also very nice and welcoming. They loved on my kitty and even helped carry out his prescription food and medicines. They also offer health plans with free unlimited office visits and discounted procedures for a low monthly payment. I'm so satisfied with this clinic's care, and I'm glad my Mali was in such good hands!

Dr Gutta and his staff are always friendly and take time to greet the pet as well as the person. They professionally explain procedures, options, and pricing. We’re grateful for the services of this Animal Hospital.

Our pups are not the easiest at the vet and the staff was patient and made it as easy as it could be with two rowdy labs. We also love the wellness plan option to keep us on track and the pups healthy.

They are awesome! The Vets and caring staff are fantastic! So thankful for each and everyone of them.
