What Reviews Say

60 reviews analyzed

Sun Surf Veterinary Hospital is highly regarded for its compassionate end-of-life care, affordability, and ability to accommodate last-minute appointments. Long-term clients frequently praise Dr. Sam and Dr. Meina for their personal touch and expertise. However, the facility faces serious allegations in a small minority of reviews regarding medical negligence and misdiagnosis, which contrast sharply with the otherwise glowing 5-star reputation.
