A neighbor referred us to Dr. Fontenot because Sophie's limp wouldn't go away. Our previous vet just kept giving us pills which only helped for a little while. Dr. Fontenot gave Sophie the most thorough exam she's ever had. The x-rays showed a problem in her leg bone. The doctor said it was suspicous for cancer but could also be an infection. We agreed to a biopsy & tests which confirmed it was a infection not cancer. The doctor even had to send us to Walgreens for her drugs because the vet drugs wouldn't work. Dr. Fontenot saved Sophie's leg. My only complaint is that now, we can't keep up with her on her walks.

We were visiting Melbourne from Pennsylvania and one morning our lab, Sunny, couldn't walk. We took him to Sunshine Vet Clinic and Dr. Fonteno found that all of his joints were swollen. Even though we leaving to go back home in 2-days, we went ahead with the blood tests & cultures. By the time we got home Dr. Fonteno had already contacted our Vet with the diagnosis of Lymes disease. Luckily we caught it early enough to prevent permanent damage. I wish I got this kind of attention when I'm sick!

We''ve been going to Sunshine for years. Recently we decided to use the "mobile vet" we've seen advertised around town & try to save some money. What a mistake. It was like being on an assembly line. No personal service, just in & out. A week later we went back to Sunshine for a skin infection. The staff was attentive & genuinely cared about Snuffy. Dr. F even found an ear infection the mobile vet missed.. They even updated Snuffy's vaccine record from the mobile vet. We compared prices & we only saved $8.50 with the mobile vet. For that amount, I'd rater get the personal attention from Sunshine rather than being "next in line" in a parking lot.
