Southeast Veterinary Oncology &Internal Medicine - SEVO-Med (Jacksonville)

My elderly dog was diagnosed with lymphoma last year. They have given us 7 more months with my boy, and I am so grateful for the team here. They have been nothing but wonderful with him and with us. Dr. Neumann has been great with communicating with us every step of the way. We can’t recommend them enough. Thank you all!

Dr Walls was very knowledgeable, & more importantly, compassionate about her patients. Her & the team at the Orange Park office truly made facing my🐶best buds cancer as easy as could be, for something so hard. They WERE the silver lining! I loved my sweet girl Lily, she slept in the bed with me all 8 yrs of her short life, she went everywhere I could take her, & some places I ‘couldn’t’. This cancer diagnosis was about a year ago. The toughest decision I’ve ever made, was not taking the chemo treatment route. Quality>Quantity. I didn’t have the heart to prolong her life, knowing it would only get worse for her. Dr Walls was supportive of our decision, & helped any way she could. She always responded to my inquiries very timely. She prescribed her medicine to slow the cancer, that Lily’s body rejected. So we got her on medication to ease her pain. That made such a difference! That put my heart at ease after seeing the pain in her eyes. She had got to where she wouldn’t move, but with medicine for pain, she got up on her own to relieve herself, eat, & lounge around the house. Instead of only occasional, I cooked all of her food fresh, adding turkey tail mushroom supplements & turmeric. I saw an improvement in her quality of life with that combination. Lily was a blue staffy, pit bull breeds are known for skin allergies & she was no exception. The local vet prescribed her Apoquel years prior. Which I learned from research after the diagnosis, counteracts what a dog’s body naturally produces to block cancer causing cysts. Thus causing the cancer - **DO NOT ACCEPT APOQUEL AS MEDICATION FOR ANY REASON** I don’t recall us discussing the food I fed her, though I can’t confirm 100% because like I said, Dr Walls was very knowledgeable. Oddly enough, when I took my 13 month old full blooded rottie in for a suspected UTI last week, I learned that what I had fed Lily, Blue Buffalo, has been linked to urinary tract problems in dogs!! **DO NOT FEED YOUR DOGS BLUE BUFFALO** So, short story long, I would 100% go here again, & have recommended. I know without a doubt SEVOMED will have the most accurate & reliable information.

When we found out our girl Dixie had cancer it broke our heart. We were referred to SEVO for treatment. I am so greatful we decided to make that first appointment. From the moment we walked in the door we felt like family. From the AMAZING girls at the front desk saying “Hi Dixie’s mom!” and showering my baby with love and kisses - To the EXTRAORDINARY nurse that was always willing to listen to my ridiculous concerns and explaining things multiple times to me in the kindest voice - and then there’s Dr. Newman. His confidence and determination to give me quality time with my Dixie is something that I will never forget. He never gave up on her. Dr Newman was always truthful with me about her condition and as unfortunate as her diagnosis was- he gave my baby a full year to play on the beach- eat countless Wawa sandwiches- bark at the squirrels- and steal my pillow at night! I hate cancer. I hate what it has taken from me. But I am so thankful for Dr Newman and his angels!

this place is trash dosent care about any animals no matter under the circumstance. Today we took in my dog after running around all day trying to get help. Our main vets office referred us to this trashy place. We walked in and our dog had been gagging and foaming at the mouth in the lobby. We tried to talk to the people at the front desk (two rude ladies) they refused to help us at first because they didn’t have “paperwork” from our other vet. So we went back to our seat with our dog who was having literal seizures (which we weren’t aware of at the time). We waited for about an hour we went back up to the desk beacuse our dog was vividly and rapidly getting worst by the minute. When we went up their we eventually got through to them and they explained how we had to make an appointment for the future. Which at this point they hadn’t acknowledged us or our dog, and in her condition. So we were desperate we say we want to make an appointment. And as we were about to we just thought we would mention to the receptionist that we didn’t think our dog or us were treated very fairly. Once we said this the receptionist claimed “she didn’t feel comfortable booking an appointment for us or our dog”. Then she stormed off. Then the other front desk lady came to us and asked if we “still wanted an appointment”. We said no and left. The problem with this place is that my dog was slowly dying in THEIR lobby, and they didn’t acknowledge us at all and showed no sympathy. For a “vet” clinic they don’t deserve the name. They weren’t busy at all. A couple other people and just us and my dog having constant seizures in their lobby. Even if this is your last resort don’t come here. Travel a couple extra hours. This place doesn't care about your animals or you. This place is quite frankly a joke.

I highly recommend SEVO-Med and Dr. Neumann. I felt completely confident in the care they provided for my dog, Kona. Dr. Neumann is compassionate, knowledgeable, and always took the time to answer my questions. The entire team at SEVO-Med is so nice. Every interaction was excellent and they put in special care into helping my furbaby. They are honest, supportive, and always prioritize quality of life. I cannot thank them enough for the dedication and compassion they showed during Kona’s treatment.
