I'm in the unique position of being able to offer feedback from both the client's side and the vet med side of things. Not only do I work for the local veterinary ER that regularly accepts patient transfers and referrals from here, but recently Dr Jennell Appel has been attending to my Llewellin Setter, Tex, in a specialist's capacity to properly rehab an Achilles injury and a small, painful area of spinal compression.
It's been an entirely new experience for me, being exposed to what is effectively the "sports medicine" corner of vet med, working with a Dr that lives and breathes the sporting and working breeds and is fluent in the delicate, multi-pronged approaches necessary to properly rehab their orthopedic and soft-tissue injuries rather than just "smoothing them over." Dr J came highly recommended, and from day one she took her time putting Tex through an exhaustive physical evaluation and explained, in great detail, where we would start, as well as the big picture plan.
At no point throughout our appointments and this process have I been left wondering what is coming next or been at a loss for information on what I need to do and how I need to be doing it. She has been kind, patient, easygoing, and always seems genuinely happy to see Tex and care for him. Anyone that knows me knows I'm exceptionally particular about the care of my pack, and it's so comforting working with someone that values their health and well-being as much as I do.
The facility itself is always remarkably clean, staff is friendly and accomodating, and the grounds are attractive and well-kept. You can feel assured that the competent and caring folks at Los Robles will take great care of your babies.

Why ask me to fill out a form for services being requested, ask me twice if I have filled it out, and then completely ignore it? My bad that I trusted the form's efficacy and said to just proceed with the services marked and let me know when to pick him up. An appt that should have cost just about $100 cost $230 after a wellness check I did not ask for, flea medication I did not ask for, a one year rabies instead the the three year I requested. Last two times before that I asked for him to be chipped. Third visit, still not chipped. Three stirkes you are out. The care is good but no one is listening.

We started using Los Robles 3 years ago after we had a bad diagnosis from our old vet. Our old vet did not show much compassion and we were not happy. Los Robles has been fantastic and showed compassion and care from day one. We recently had to say goodbye to our old man dog at over 16 years of age and they couldn't have made the process any better. Dr. Melanie even sent us a very personal card after. When we get ready to get another dog, we will definitely use Los Robles for all of their vet needs.

Great folks! My younger dog loves his visits & the vets here have really made an effort to work with me to resolve his skin issues. Our older dog has anxiety issues & I have never seen anyone put as much care & effort into soothing & calming any animal (or person)! The vets here truly love animals & care for mine as if they were theirs.

These people were great. We got an appointment within two days of calling. Dr. Linda was a good listener, and handled my cat with care. She even took time to write an analysis and report of my cat's condition, and advice for keeping her healthy, with some suggestions for better food than I feed her and where to get it. She prescribed medication and gave it to me at the appointment, and educated me on how to properly dose her.
I was holding my breath when settling the bill, and was so relieved at how reasonably priced the services were. We have used another vet in Tallahassee who charged twice as much for the same service. We will stick with Los Robles. Great staff, caring service, no hassles.
