Specialists in Companion Animal Neurology (SCAN) - Clearwater

I would absolutely recommend SCAN for all of your pet’s neurology needs. The staff here is compassionate, realistic and provide astounding care. Time was taken to thoroughly examine our Moonpie and formulate a care plan. Everything was very well explained and bedside manner was top notch. These people really love what they do! We cannot thank Dr. Lind and Nurse Jessica enough!

Update: It's now been over 3 years since Fritter had his spinal surgery here; and he's still going strong. Other than needing a little help peeing and dealing with his incontinence, he is my most energetic dog by far. Forever grateful to the team here for working their magic. -- The staff at this location are all very compassionate and caring of animals. I took my little Fritter in over some back pain on the weekend. They had hoped it was treatable with medication. Sadly it was not. I came back with Fritter late at night on Monday after he lost function in his legs. Dr Lind arrived at 10-11pm to care for Fritter and run MRIs and check ups on him. She's very thorough and makes sure you are fully informed of your options before proceeding. I am very grateful places like this exist. I felt like my world had come to an end very suddenly and they've given me hope I might still have some time with my Fritter after a little TLC. Also shout out to Susan at the front counter who is just a ball of energy and good vibes and the other staff who were more than accommodating at all times. They even sent me a photo of my baby after surgery ❤️

Excellent care for my rottweiler puppy. His disorder was unfortunately incurable and he recently passed away but they take very good care of animals. I highly recommend.

I really feel the need to share the incredible experience we had at Scan. Our 5 year dachshund Juliet suffered a ruptured disc. This injury rendered her paralyzed in the hind legs. We were devastated and in shock. The emergency vet told us to consider end of life measures. When we took Juliet to her vet they recommended Scan for MRI & surgery The surgery is super expensive but it was necessary. After the surgery she stayed 4 nights and we were called every night by the amazing vet. He was so patient and compassionate and offered us hope. We eventually brought our baby home. They gave us incredible instructions, exercises and spent a lot of time walking us through taking a paralyzed dog home. She continued at home to improve. At 1 month we brought her back, her staples were removed and the vet again spent a lot of time with us. I could not have asked for a better experience in such a traumatic event. The surgery was over $7,000 but the other quote was way more and from the vet who told us to put her down.if you are ever in this situation I highly recommend this team. Thank you Scan for fixing my baby❤️ The pictures below are taken from the vet tech per my request. This one small act gave me hope during this. Her in the stroller is here today.

When I brought our 6.5 lb yorkie in to see Dr. Lind, she was brutally honest with me. My little Penny didn't have a great chance of walking again, since her spinal chord had some really harsh damage. Since I live 2 hours away, I gave her the go to do the surgery and left to go get my wife at home. The next day we saw our pup at the recovery hospital (VEG - Clearwater - they were amazing also), she looked completely worn out but pepped up for us. It's been about 5 weeks since the surgery, and she has feeling in her rear legs and is able to walk and even run. It's not very graceful, but it's something. I cannot express how grateful my wife and I are for the wonderful work Dr. Lind and the staff at SCAN and done. We are now finishing up with the Naples office (only an hour away) and she's doing great. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you again.
