    We've taken all of our furbabies to Dr. Wicker for many years now and he continues to give the best care, concern, treatment for each of them as if they were his own. We've had several very sick babies over time and Dr. Wicker and his amazing assistants have been so gentle, and concerned for them as we were! He's never been wrong and I fully believe has saved a few of their lives by catching what their issue was so they could be treated right away. The office is always very clean, never smells like 'dog' or anything but just clean. I think they can come clean My house! I wouldn't change a thing or ever go to anyone else! Thank you Dr. Wicker, Anahi, Nikki, and ladies!!!

    I am actually very sad to write a poor review about this clinic because until today they have been very helpful and accommodating and I was taking all of my pets here for care, as my friends have as well for the past decade. Recently I fell on some financial hardship and rang them for an appointment. Explained to them the financial hardship and asked if it was possible to either pay Friday when there would be funds for the visit and treatment or if I could write a check etc and was told yes that would be fine. They provided excellent care, as always, and Dr. Wicker as per usual is amazing. However, when it came time to pay and was writing the check I asked if should make it out for Friday (it was Wednesday approx 5 pm), The front desk girl checks with the office manager, a guy, to see when he would take the check to the bank and he said he would tomorrow. I explain the situation and he said that no arrangement were made as he was not aware. Obviously the girl I spoke with misunderstood me and she even went on to say that she is the one that spoke with me and a "check was never mentioned" which I assure you was not the case- but there was no apologies or sympathy whatsoever and the office manager reiterated I had to pay today and went on about how a check is "legal tender" and it would be illegal for me to write it for a future date. Which is what is is, but it would not have been illegal for me to have written for today and he could've waited one business to deposit it as a courtesy. I was not a new client and have spent lots of money at this clinic in the past so was really embarrassed and shocked when he said no and that I had to pay today, especially as I had rang and done my part before making the appointment to ensure there would be no issues. Explained I would have the funds Friday and what could we do, and he said they would send a link for payment. I was relieved until he said "but it needs to be paid now before you leave here" and then he walked away. There were was no apologies and absolutely no compassion whatsoever. It was very disappointing. Upon ringing a family member to scramble to get the funds I was explaining on the phone to my family member that the clinic misunderstood and that no, they were not willing to work with me on it (despite never in the past having had any issues paying them for services). At that point the girl on the front desk interrupts and rudely said "It's illegal" which (a) was not speaking with her (b) the tone was not necessary, was already embarrassed as it was and (c) it is NOT illegal to (as a one time courtesy to a long standing client) for them to wait one business day to deposit the check. What is illegal is forward dating it, not taking time to deposit it. Furthermore they did nothing else to try and work with me and I was made to feel like a low life vagabond. They could've just as a courtesy have agreed to take the payment on Friday. As a result of this I will not be using their services any longer. Am flabbergasted at the lack of compassion and problem solving skills. Even if they chose not to work with me on a payment arrangement given the misunderstanding as I had called beforehand; they could've genuinely shown compassion and said "We're so sorry we would but we can't... we apologise for the inconvenience". Instead I was the one left apologising for the inconvenience and no one even said "that's ok, we understand". Sadly, I will be requesting all of my pets records to be transferred to another clinic. UPDATE: the clinic responded to the review here- “sorry” but failed to accept responsibility. When this was originally written it was also sent to them -both to their “contact us” system AND emailed and NO ONE reached out to me personally to apologize or attempt to address the way in which I was treated. Obviously they only about their reviews. Additionally my cat’s condition has deteriorated NOT improved & when I attempted to transfer care & records their phones have issues or they set me on do not disturb .The new vet had to call them on my behalf.

    Wow, I loved everything about this vet office. The staff shows a genuine love of animals and they are very courteous. The vet was so pleasant and thorough. My dog loved all of them and so did I. The prices are very reasonable and we have finally found a vet that we will stay with.

    I went to the plant city animal Hospital with my to cat's to get them a check up, and shots. The Dr. Sent me pictures back of him with both of my cat's. He was kind and courteous, and also kept me up to date via text messages while they cared for my two cat's. I'm definitely going to keep going to the Plant City animal hospital for all of their needs.

    Dr. Wicker & Casey have both been so wonderful during both of our visits! They both explained everything in detail and I feel very comfortable trusting them with my pets healthcare! The reception staff was great when calling to make an appointment, answering any questions I had and were polite and friendly during the check out process! Frannie and Remi approve!

    I came in today with a sick bulldog puppy, staff was able to squeeze me in so she can be seen. Jubilee was very helpful throughout the entire appointment was friendly, helpful and worked with me through visit. Dr Wicker was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and discussed all our treatment options and what would be best. Great team!

    I moved here 2 years ago and needed to find a new vet. I picked the closest one to my house and I got a very good one. They take good care of my dog and make me feel special. The Dr. and all the staff are great. The prices are reasonable and the care is top notch. They even sent a picture of the doctor with my dog to me on the first visit. My dog looked happy. It was covid and I couldn't go in with him. Nice touch. I highly recommend.

    This was our first visit with our new puppy. The staff was kind and caring with our little guy and the office is clean and comfortable. The fees were all described to us in an understandable fashion. We really liked Dr. Wicker a lot. He is kind as well and straightforward and knowledgeable. We are very happy.

    The best Vet practice I've been to in decades, one of those best kept secrets you always hope to find. The office is fantastic from making appointments to checking out and the prices are always reasonable. I'm new to the area and completely lucked out, Dr W is the best!

    A great experience here! The vet techs and veterinarian is amazing. They are beyond nice and caring. Thank you so much for your team and being so kind and understanding. We were able to get an appointment that worked for us within 2 days- and truly they made us feel understood , and no huge bill at the end. No surprises which is an amazing thing in todays world!

    This is the best, friendliest vet in the area! They have a self-serve snack and coffee bar, amazing annual decorations, and a very loving environment. Their staff works very hard and efficiently. 10/10, I would always recommend.

  • 5/5 Ronald G. 11 months ago on Google
    Plant City Animal Hospital was excellent! This was my first visit, and the person who answered the phone, Haley, was 100% of the reason I brought my Goldendoodle here. She was very courteous and informative in answering all of my questions and even got me an appointment that day!! The Veterinarian who took care of my dog was amazing as well! Subsequently, I was told he was the owner with many years of experience. My reccomendation is A+++++!

    I’ve been to many veterinarians but this place tops all veterinary clinics. I brought my dog in today for the first time and I left very satisfied and reassured that my furbaby will be okay. The vet explained in detail everything I needed to know and I’m very satisfied and grateful. Definitely coming back to get my other babies checked :)

  • 5/5 Justine V. 10 months ago on Google

    I took my cat Madison in because she look like she was dropping weight very quickly, I was very concerned and scared that I would lose her doctor Wicker and the staff at plant City were incredible. They only ran test they thought were necessary. They did phone call follow-ups to check on her and they return calls quickly. Madison is doing great now. Thank you so much plant City veterinary.

  • 5/5 Jenna R. 1 year ago on Google
    I appreciated Dr. Wicker and his staff so much for seeing my boy ASAP. From the moment I called to schedule the appointment to the appointment itself, to the check out process, I appreciated the team's compassion and friendliness. They were so good with my boy and they definitely have a repeat client (along with her six cats. I know I'm a crazy cat lady but they handled that with care too haha). It's also a clean facility as an added bomus. Thank you team again for everything! I highly recommend them.

    Dr. Wicker and his staff assisted us with end of life care for our dachshund Rocco. They were so kind and compassionate. They gave our family comfort during this tragic time.

  • 5/5 Nikki M. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently moved to the plant city area and I was having a hard time finding a vet close by with great reviews. I am so glad to have found plant city animal hospital where they truly do everything they can to help our furry family members get better, maintain their health and always willing to accommodate emergencies.

  • 5/5 Courtney P. 1 year ago on Google
    I went here for the first time a few days ago with my senior dog. The vet was the most comforting and compassionate vet I’ve ever had for my dog. She showed so much empathy in one of the hardest times of my life, and I will forever be grateful as well as talk the upmost respect about her and this establishment. As much as I would have loved to have my dogs ashes and I think it hurt me that I could not afford that option, she made my stress and my dogs stress ease.

    I highly recommend PCHA. Dr. Wicker and his staff exceeded my expectations in every way possible. So thankful for all of them. They treated my fur baby wonderfully and that makes us both happy campers.

😠 I took my baby to this clinic about a year ago as an emergency because she got sick. I saw all the great reviews & didn't think to take her else where because I figured she'd be in good hands also conveniently how close the clinic was. Upon arriving Dr. Bailey was very rude to me & my sister & made...
