Dr. Mark Scribano studied at the University of Florida. He thereby acquired his B.A. in 1983, completed two years of post-graduate studies, and was finally awarded his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine Degree in 1989. Also, he is a member and officer of numerous local, regional, and national veterinary and community organizations, subsequently becoming a St. Petersburg recommended vet.
I've been working at Northeast Animal Hospital since September of 2012, having enjoyed working in this field since 2003. My favorite part of working here is being part of a team where everyone, from the moment our client walks in the door, is dedicated to the well-being of the patient. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Equine Sciences from Colorado State University.

I can't say enough about the care and compassion I received as a new patient at Northeast Animal Hospital. I have had an ongoing issue with my sweet companion cat and was incredibly grateful and impressed with the level of care taken during my visit. They not only take into consideration the care of my cat but also take the time to explain and answer questions so patiently for me as well. Their knowledge and level of professionalism is more than appreciated. Words cannot express my gratitude.

Updated June 2022 I came in with my dog for to update his vaccinations and he's a little nervous. I believe we saw Dr. Amanda Brezicki. She was fantastic, immediately got down on the floor with him. When he wasn't interested in the treats they had, she insisted the assistant get some cheese whiz to help distract him during his shots. I came here all through COVID restrictions and feel like they handled all those visits.

I'm glad to be back in the office to see the vet care my babies receive one on one. I highly recommend northeast if you're looking for a caring vet in the area. I've never felt like they pushed a treatment on me, they're very open with the price and will send you an estimate beforehand. They vet is great about going over affordable options before testing or more expensive treatments.

My dog had some allergies on his paw, and she thoroughly went through all the treatment options. Old review: I recently Moved to Saint Pete and needed a vet for my new puppy. I've only been a patient here since the pandemic, so I've had no face to face time with the doctors. Here's my two issues with this clinic, if you are going to name your practice "animal hospital" then you should be an animal hospital.

This includes being open longer hours and taking emergency walk-ins. Ya know, like a hospital would! If you don't want to provide the services it's very simple just change your name. My other issue is their pricing, let me know if you can have a visit there under $200 it hasn't been possible for me. When my dog had an ear infection and the meds they gave me were 3x as much as they were listed online. maybe a dogs ear infection isn't the right time to make a dollar.

I know that these issues are out of the doctors controls usually at a practice like this, I've been really pleased with the care that I've received from the doctors and the team. With these issues I will continue to come back. but I won't be buying their meds.

I brought in my French mastiff to get her vaccines up to date. The staff was incredibly kind, warm and made my skittish dog open up quicker than I've ever seen. The vet and assistants spent so much time and gave so much affection that my goofball might come to love her vet appointment. I would highly recommend coming here for the level of care and service they provide.

I love this place! I can not express enough how grateful I am too find these women. My daughter has a dog who suffers with aneixty and new people. The doctors here where able to treat her, and Daisy really liked all the women she met here. We will definitely keep coming back. I would recommend this place to everyone. The staff here is so nice and caring!

I love Dr. Benham and the team at NE Animal Hospital. They have taken great care of several different animals. They take the time to explain things and discuss various options. They are transparent about costs and truthful about expected outcomes. They were compassionate during the loss of a pet and celebratory when I was able to get a new one. I would recommend the NE Animal Hospital without hesitation.

Great Vet, Terrible Anti-Consumer Prescription Policies. They will not work with any other vendor (Chewy or PetMeds). They will make you mail in the prescriptions instead of accepting the calls from pet vendors or sending a Fax. I sucks because we really enjoy the vets here, but we will be leaving because of their policy on prescriptions. They say it's because they can't "trust" these other online vendors to fill the correct medications, but that doesn't make any sense.

They can't work with a nationwide company, but they will give you a blank check (written prescription) so to speak to use any vendor you'd like. That doesn't add up. They essentially just want to the surcharge on using their own pharmacy and are making it difficult to use any other pet pharmacy. For example, most Doctors now work directly with pharmacies for human prescriptions because it's safer and more regulated instead of human scripts.

Just be honest and tell your consumers that one of the major ways you balance your revenue and profit is through prescriptions. I honestly might have stayed if you just told me that.

I've been taking my puppy Murphy for the past few months for his vaccinations. He absolutely loves it there. Everyone is so friendly and I really appreciate the time Dr. Brezicki takes to answer questions (and I normally have a lot.) She also took the time to send me information through an email after an exam. The technician Angel was so sweet with my pup and took him around the office to say hi to everyone. Murphy adores them! Thank you all for taking care of him!

They got me in in less than a week as a new patient. So happy with the staff and treatment. Better prices than others in the area. Love that there's separate entrances for cats and dogs. Fully recommend.

I love this pet hospital! I've been there at least three times now with my cats and have been taken care of by two different doctors and their service is incredible! I had an appointment today at 4 oclock for 2 cats, vaccines and checks up, and was back at my house by 4:35. They're quick and kind and so gentle. We laughed about how wiggly my cat was and you can tell that every employee there loves animals just by how they all perk up at the sound of a cat meow or the sight of a dog. It's truly wonderful. I would recommend this place to everyone with a pet.

We are new to St. Pete and chose Northeast Animal Hospital after reading other online reviews. Our dog started experiencing seizures a few days ago and we called to see if they could get him in. They got us in that afternoon, were super affordable and supportive. When he had another seizure the following day and we were able to video tape it, we sent it in to them via email. They called us immediately and also called in new meds for him. Our dogs are our kids, so their responsiveness really meant a lot to us

Over all of the years of pet ownership, in all of the cities & states in, I've never had a bad vet experience until moving to St. Pete & choosing Northeast. From the first visit, it's been chaos. They ask you to fill out the documentation online in their portal which I did. When I got there they didn't have it, so I had to refill the paperwork. The. appt ended up needing to be pushed back based on Aspen's litter.

The vet came out & spoke to me, then confirmed the new date & time which was Saturday morning. Thursday night, late, I get an email saying that her appt is now Friday morning at 8am. I scramble around Friday morning & call & verify that it was now on Friday since the vet had.

Bella (my toy poodle) has been coming here since she was 11 weeks old when I first adopted her. She mostly sees Dr. Benham, has also seen Dr. Scribano and one other vet (don't remember the name) when needing to. come in for sick visits. She has been there for her spay, teeth cleanings, routine visits, and various sick visits. We love everyone there!

Everyone is so nice and caring. Dr. Benham has called me and responded to e-mails when I have been nervous about various issues with Bella such as lab results and food choices. Although there are significant changes with COVID, they have been going out of their way to accommodate everyone. I recommend them for all of your pet's health needs!

My friend and his cat were attacked by a pit bull today. Since my friend had to be transported to the hospital for his injuries, we needed to get kitty to a vet stat. I've been using Northeast for 10 years and so I brought the cat to them. They took him in right away and gave him great emergency care. Thank you Northeast Animal Hospital for your wonderful and professional treatment of Oscar! Note: prognosis looks good, but he will have quite a bit of recovery time.

My pets have been patients at Northeast for over 5 years. We currently see Dr Benham, who is by far the most compassionate, educated, kind Vet we've had. She always takes the pets best interest in mind when recommending procedures or treatments, but also thinks ahout her human clients and offers different options at varying prices. Last year we. found our cat half paralyzed due to a thrown blood clot.

They immediately made time for us and did everything they could to assist, unfortunately we were unable to save him. We now have one cat and one dog, who everyone knows by name. Not only do we see them for vet services, we board our babies there when we travel. We wouldnt trust our babies lives to anyone else.

Dr. Klemawesch and her team are the best! Dr. K is very knowledgeable, thorough, kind, and treats your baby like her own. She spent a lot of time with me addressing all of my concerns and never made me feel rushed. They were able to provide treatment same day (which made a HUGE difference) and have been very accommodating getting appointments. The entire team is very friendly and they go above and beyond for their patients! We are so glad that we found Dr. K and only wish that we had found her earlier! Thank you Dr. K and team for the great experience!
