I was looking for a vet in the lake wales area as we are new here. I had heard about this vet Dr yoder from my neighbor a long time lake wales resident and father to a famous baseball player. I had lost the phone number so I just googled it , and was shocked by the first review stating "please never go to this vet" . I thought my neighbor uses this vet I am going anyway . I was greeted by the Dr and had a exceptional experience there with my 8 year old Scottie. But I could not let it go so I asked about the review. She told me she was not there but at a Christian retreat and had found a substitute Dr. THIS was the vet who treated miss chelsie lab NOT Dr Yoder. Dr Yoder showed me a photo copy of the check she sent REFUNDING the entire charge along with a letter expressing her heart felt feelings . The woman received all her money back and did not have the common decency to retract her accusation false accusation is, where I come from, a low base method of maliciously hurting innocent people and should be a crime shame on you mrs accuser

Please, Please, Please never take your dog to this place. They do not care about ethics, it is the almighty dollar!!! Our lab needed a surgery to treat a prolapsed cervix, but instead of giving her the correct surgery that included a spay when we brought her in, they just pushed everything back in and stitched her up. They charged us 685.00 for this and she stayed their over the weekend, because they felt she needed to. Come Monday they call me and say she needs emergency surgery to fix the problem and spay her, for which we would be charged another 1650.00 or more. They would not work with us on a payment plan we had to have the money or she would not be taken care of, there were no other options!!! We quickly called another vet to look at our options, Lake Wales Veterinary Hospital was willing to take her and do the correct surgery for $600 and they were willing to help us with a payment plan!!! (Nice to know there are some decent people in this world) The new vet was really confused as to why Ridge did not do the spay surgery in the first place since that is what should be done in this case. Ridge Veterinary Hospital does not care about you or your dog, they care about the almighty dollar!! They are heartless and incompetent. Do not waste your time or your hard earned money there, Please take your dog to Lake Wales Veterinary Hospital or anywhere else!!!!

Teresa Yoder and her staff are amazing and wonderful!!! I would never take any animal anywhere else!!! Thank you for caring so much!!! Gail Ward and Cheryl Farris

Very caring vet, last year received treatment for our GSD Bear for age onset skin problems. This year we had to put him down at the age of 12. The treatment and caring when we had him put down were excellent and heart felt. Thank you again, Joe & Candy W
