Stay very far away from this place if you love your pets! Dr. Darien Lawrence recommended very expensive procedures and suggested possible surgeries that my biewer terrier did not need at all. Her diagnosis was 100% incorrect. The medical plan to include recommendation of possible surgeries that she suggested would have cost loads of money and was totally unnecessary as my dog did not have any of those conditions. In addition, while I was explaining his symptoms and what I observed during his episodes she was rude, not patient cutting me off during mid sentence, condescending and did not truly listen at all. She kept asking the same questions over and over, and I gave her the same response.I was charged a ridiculous amount to a doctor that is clueless and rude. Even though I was very concerned for my fur baby I had a strong instinct that this is not a good vet and I should not take my fur baby back to her for treatments of any sort.I followed my instincts and continued looking for another vet. I took my fur baby to Dr. Lawrence thinking he was having pain in his patellas, when he was young he had surgery on patellas. During the episodes that he was having it appeared that he was in lots of pain, and I thought it maybe his patellas.
Immediately after taking my dog to Dr. Lawrence I found an amazing vet. I told the new vet my dog's symptoms and what I observed during his episodes. The new vet immediately knew what was wrong with my dog and recommended that I change him from a chicken diet to a turkey diet, add pre biotic and pro biotic to improve his gut. I did tell Dr. Lawrence that in addition to the pain he was vomiting and had diarreah for all episodes and she couldn't figure out what was wrong with him! that it was stomach pain due to the food and allergies.But she did suggest very expensive procedures and surgeries!!!She is all about the money and not the well being of my fur baby.It has been close to 1 year and my dog has not had any episodes at all.

My dog had a shoulder instability and was limping. Dr. Lawrence did shockwave treatments. Her assistant did ultrasound treatments. My dog has not had a problem since. It is nice to have this level of sophisticated care available so close. Used to have to go to Orlando.
