    THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!! Brought a pet there… Had the worst OUTCOME! Thanks to DR MAURO…. Made me feel like I ruined her day by walking in.. Made me feel like treating my pet was a chore… Incredibly RUDE!

    I have a very reactive Rat/Chi that the staff at Southgate handle wonderfully. The techs and Dr Muro treat him incredibly well despite him being a very difficult at times. I usually only have to wait a few minutes for my appointment but I don't mind because the care is fantastic. A big thank you to the staff and Dr Mauro!

    I have been going to Southgate for years. My 14 year old staffy who has cancer needs his nails cut . He was there a few months ago to have them cut and Dr Mauro could not get them all done so we left and waited to make another appointment. When i called to make the appointment i was told they wouldn’t cut his nails until he got a rabies shot which expired a few months ago. Now reading a senior dog with cancer SHOULD NOT get a shot because it is not good for his immune system. My dog only goes out in our fenced yard with no chance of getting Rabies. A good caring Veterinarian would have cut my poor dogs nails! Take it for what it is but really check this vet out and $37 which i was told the new price was to cut nails is outrageous!! My wife and i left shocked that this Doctor would let me seriously ill dog leave suffering with his nails still long. I never leave a bad feedback for someone who should care. Sorry for this long post but it’s time for this business owner to think more about these great pets than the money she can charge!!!! Shame on you!!
