North Orange Animal Hospital

Decided to give this office a try from all of the highly recommended posts in the Apopka Review FB group. My puppy had his first visit today with Dr. Chad. So happy I found a doctor that educates you, takes the time to listen and answers your questions. Everyone I came in contact with was very nice.

I have nothing but great things to say about this vet office. My mom and I have taken our dog and our cats here for a little while. They have always done an outstanding job. We recently had to put Pepper down due to old age and a terminal illness. Dr. Chad and Elizabeth were so empathetic and kind. They walked us through the entire process and offered tremendous care through a difficult time. It was very hard for us to let our dog go, but Dr. Chad and Elizabeth comforted us in making the right choice for our pup. I know working in the vet industry can be very emotionally draining. Please never lose your empathy and big hearts. You all truly help those of us who need it. Thank you for everything!

Duke, Fiona & Leo and our Family absolutely love NOAH! Everyone there is absolutely amazing. Dr Bucky & Dr Jackie are the best Vets I have ever met. They are attentive & never make you feel rushed. Their support stuff is also pretty awesome too! We will never go anywhere else!

If I could give North Orange Animal Hospital in Apopka (NOAH) 100 stars, I would! I cannot put into words my feelings towards the experience I had with them. A few weeks ago, I was visiting my parents from out of state. During my visit, I noticed my best friend of 18 years, a dachshund named Stanley Bones, wasn't acting as his usual self although he was eating and drinking as always. I woke up one day to find my father on the floor, holding Stanley up as he ate; I knew from the look in his face that something was wrong. He explained he went to let Stanley out but Stanley couldn't use his hind legs. At 18, Stanley moved slowly and struggled sometimes early in the mornings but, when we realized he really wasn't eating, we were very worried. I told my dad we needed to take him to a vet so I called NOAH and they worked us in for that afternoon; however, they called back 30 mins later saying they had a cancellation in case we wanted to take it. We did. From the moment we arrived, the front staff was wonderful; they were very attentive, caring and understanding. We waited a few minutes then were taken back. The back-office staff was just as wonderful and compassionate as the front one. Stanley was anxious but they pampered him and tried to make him as comfortable as possible before Dr. Chad saw him. After Dr. Chad examined Stanley, he explained his findings and gave us choices on treatment and outcomes. After a lengthy conversation, for which he sat down and didn’t make us feel rushed, my dad and I made the extremely difficult decision to put Stanley to sleep. Dr. Chad then explained the process step by step, making sure we had a clear understanding of what to expect and what Stanley would feel. If we needed time, he gave it to us. If we needed him to just do it, he did. During the entire time we were there, he provided emotional support for my dad and I AND Stanley; he talked to Stanley with so much love and compassion. As we entered the last stage, Dr. Chad moved at our pace, asking for permission before he did anything and explaining again what my dad and I would see. At the end, Stanley passed peacefully in our arms. I dare to say Dr. Chad was just as affected as my dad and I; I could see it in his eyes. He reassured us time after time he could see how much we loved Stanley and that we were doing the right decision for Stanley. After we walked out of the room, you could see the staff trying to hold their tears back as they gave us their condolences. All I can say is that I went in NOAH as a stranger and came out feeling like I was part of their family. If you are looking for a vet, look no further. You will never find a better animal hospital nor a staff who are really genuine, compassionate, caring than NOAH. They will take extremely good care of you and your pets!

The staff is so friendly and very helpful. The doctors listen and truly care about my furry patients.
