  • Jessica F.

    “I can’t say enough good things about Florida Veterinary Rehab. They have been taking care of my dogs for years, and I truly believe they saved Rudy’s life. Now they’re helping my 6-year-old Lab, Grace, through rehab much like you’d see with a human athlete. The care, expertise, and dedication they bring to every session is incredible. I’m so grateful for the way they’ve improved my dogs’ health and quality of life, and I trust them completely with their care.”

  • Mary S.

    “I can’t say enough good things about FVR.  The entire team is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping pets heal and thrive. Dr. Mason takes the time to explain every step of the rehabilitation process, and you can tell she, Dr. John, and the  staff genuinely care about both the animals and their families. Evie has made incredible progress thanks to the  expertise and encouragement. The facility is clean, welcoming, and equipped with everything needed for top-notch care. I’m so  forever grateful to have found FVR . 🩷🙏🏼”

    “Dr. Mason and her entire staff are the best of the best. From the moment you enter FVR everyone is extremely friendly and professional but most importantly- CARING. They go above and beyond to provide top notch treatment to their clients. When I say they have saved his quality of life and my sanity, I am not exaggerating. What they do is nothing short of a miracle.”

  • Diane B.

    I am delighted to give Florida Veterinary Rehabilitation (FVR) the highest possible recommendation. Dr. Lisa Mason and her colleagues couldn't be more expert, professional, caring and encouraging. I will be forever grateful to the FVR team for their commitment to improved quality of life and comfort for both my youngest and my oldest vizsla.”

  • Jackie C.

    “Dr Mason and her staff are awesome! Dr. Mason did such a thorough exam of my Oz and figured out just exactly the kind of help he needs. We have been twice for rehab and I am very pleased with the kind caring compassionate staff! I would highly recommend Florida Veterinary Rehabilitation to anyone that needs help getting their pet to feel and be their best! Thank you Dr. Mason and staff!”

  • Heather P.

    “Dr Mason and her staff always make us feel like Olive is cared for.  Olive loves to see all of her friends at therapy and gets so excited when she knows she going.  They go above and beyond to help make our girl feel better.  We are so appreciative!”

  • Carroll W.

    “We are so thankful for the entire team at Florida Vet Rehab! Every doctor and staff member has been wonderful—professional, knowledgeable, and truly caring. Kahlua is starting to get her playful energy and silliness back, and it makes our hearts so happy! We’re excited to see her continue to heal and can’t wait for her to enjoy her favorite long walks again. Huge thanks to the entire FVR team for all you do!”

  • Bradi R.

    “ "Great" doesn't even begin to cover how fantastic you all are! Every single person I've ever interacted with - from reception to vets - have been so helpful, kind, and caring. I'm constantly recommending FLVR to everyone I know, even for very minor things. I don't know what we'd do without you! Quinn loves his Saturdays with you guys so much that he spends the entire morning with the zoomies and can't wait to get in there, and that means so much when you're bringing your animal in for anything medical. I have nothing but good things to say about y'all, and I appreciate every effort and accommodation you've made to give Quinn the best quality of life possible :)”

  • Michele S.

    “OMG! Where do I start? EVERYONE here is sooooo awesome! They go above and beyond to make our 12-year old baby comfortable. I highly recommend!!!”

  • Kaylee H.

    “We love the staff here at FVR! They are all so kind, always respond quickly to my emails, accommodating, and make my Elly girl comfortable! We start shockwave therapy for my sweet girl, and I just know she’ll be in great hands. Thank you everyone from the front desk to the back office!”

  • Brandi R.

    “Absolutely phenomenal staff! My dog is improving so much and loves to visit his friends at the "doggy spa"☺️“

  • Amy K.

    “Everyone is so friendly and they are so sweet with my pup ♥️”

  • Denise B.

    “I can’t say enough about the FVR. The care, compassion and professionalism of everyone on the staff is over the top. My 8 yr old Doxin had a compressed disc in her back and was no longer walking. We were referred to FVR after surgery by her surgeon. They sat us down, gave us a recommended treatment plan and Nellie is doing Great. We owe that to FVR! If you’re looking for rehabilitation for your pet. THIS IS THE PLACE HANDS DOWN. 5 stars is not enough they deserve a million. 🩷🩷🩷🐾🐾🐾🐾”

  • Heather N.

    Isolde now has four paws thanks to FL Vet Rehab and her orthotic! Dr Annie, Dr Mason, and Dr John are wonderful. The technicians are the most friendly of any vet's office we've been to. They always spend a lot of time with her and talk and pet her very soothingly. She can be afraid of doctors at times, but they treat her with gentle care and let her go at her own pace and level of comfort. You can see from the other dogs that are in therapy and entering the office, that they receive the same high level of love.

    At Florida Veterinary Rehabilitation, we provide top-notch expert rehabilitation care under the guidance of Certified Rehabilitation Veterinarians and Certified Rehabilitation Assistants/Therapists.
