Sawgrass Veterinary Cardiology

Dr. Carpenter really cares, he answers questions and informs owners of their options. I have been using Dr. Carpenters services for over two years. His team is better than professional they go above and beyond delivering exceptional treatment. The nurses and Nick promptly return calls, and can be depended upon. It is obvious that Dr. Carpenter is not only knowledgeable, but truly cares about the well being of the animal and the owner. I am confident that my dog is receiving the best care possible from Dr. Carpenter and his team. I have nothing but praise for this organization.nnJeana Giordano

I had a great experience with Dr. Carpenter. Very professional. Practices evidence based medicine. Great vet cardiologist all the way around. Highly recommended!

I just want to say, Trooper had the best cardiologist. Without Dr. Carpenter, and all of his amazing staff, I wouldn’t have had my Troopy baby for the extra year and few months.nnWas it expensive? Yeah, but I didn’t blink twice, especially as it’s a specialist he needed to see. What makes me want to say this is that I couldn’t call them to let them know Trooper had passed away, because they loved him too, so I just texted his assistant to make it easier for me.nnToday Dr. Carpenter calls me to express his sympathies and check on me. This means everything to me, and should you ever have the unfortunate event of having your furbaby diagnosed with heart failure, please take them to Dr. Carpenter.nn♥ufe0f

We brought our pet in about a month ago and had Dr. Carpenter examine him. It was determined that he needed an echo and he prescribed a medication for him. I have called the office four times , spoken with two people requesting a refill or a callback and after five days I still haven’t received a call. I’ve asked to speak with an office manager but apparently they don’t have one.nnDr. Carpenter is very competent however his staff is not.nnShortly after posting this I got a call from their corporate facility. Within a couple of hours they already had a plan on how to get my dog the prescriptions I greatly appreciate the assistance of Nick and Tom .nnThank You

3 years ago my veterinarian diagnosed my yorkie Peanut with a heart murmur and told me I should see a cardiologist. My vet gave me the names of two cardiologist. Unfortunately Dr. Carpenter was out of town at the time so I went to another cardiologist who sat back and yawned as he told me Peanut had congestive heart failure and needed to take three medicines and would die . He showed no compassion and gave no hope. Loving Peanut like my child I made an appointment to see Dr. Carpenter. Well it hasn't been an easy road the last three years. Peanut is a complicated case. He not only has congestive heart failure but he has kidney disease as well and unfortunately the medicines that are good for the heart are bad for the kidneys. 2 years ago Peanut had a myocardial cordiate tear. He was pronounced dead on arrival but pulled through thanks to Dr. Carpenter. Last year Peanut had a stroke and his kidneys went into renal failure as well. I was told by the ER doctor that Peanut would never walk and would have neurological damage but Dr. Carpenter never gave up hope even when I almost did. He tried every combination of medicines and he still does. In my opinion he is the best in his field. He truly cares about his patients and doesn't give up unless there is no hope at all. Peanut is celebrating his 16th birthday this month. He runs like a rabbit, comes to work with me everyday and fights his brother for chicken parm and spaghetti. I wish I could give Dr. Carpenter every star in the sky instead of just 5. If you need a cardiologist for your pet Dr. Carpenter is the BEST and his staff, Nick, Marjorie and Carol are amazing as well !!!
