I was a bit nervous about changing vets with my two older kitties, but found Dr Stocker after getting bad service at another vet for our new puppy, Poppy. Today we established the Yeti and Butter "grouchy old men kitties" here as well. They were both in the room wandering about out of their carriers and happy to let Doc give them their annual wellness exam. I felt like he listened and responded to my concerns. Vet staff are also amazing, friendly, professional all around. My experience from cal

So glad Dr. Stocker & his wonderful staff were recommended to us. We had our 4 yr old Chocolate Lab that was in dire need of knee replacement surgery. Dr. Stocker was very thorough in explaining the procedure, going over her xrays, answering all of our questions & generally putting our minds at ease. Zoey is now 6 months out & his back to running, playing & even jumping without being able to tell which leg it was. He has also seen several of our cats as well, and has a gentle, easy going bedside

I have been taking my pets to Dr Stocker for about 25 years. He is a great vet and an even better person. He has cared for 8 cats and 3 dogs for me over the years. I really appreciate all he has done for my pets over the years. Best vet ever ! Also love Desi and the rest of staff, they are wonderful ! Thanks Doc, Keith

We have 4 dogs and Dr. Stocker takes care of all of them. He is knowledgeable, personable and caring. His staff is excellent!. They are always helpful and friendly. After meeting the folks at Nature Coast, we wouldn't think of taking our animals anywhere else. We highly recommend them for all your pet care needs.

I have been taking my dogs to Dr Stocker since the 80's. Where ever he goes I go! Desi and Dr Stocker are one amazing team. If you need a new vet or in need of a second opinion this is the place to go. Thanks A Bunch

To Dr. Stocker and entire staff, (I am not mentioning names because I don't want to leave anyone out) I am writing this wee note for 2 reasons: Your office is inviting, welcoming, and it reflects all of you... "one awesome staff" and to let you know that competent counselors will not do counseling when you are moving. Even if the move is a positive one going to a troubling place to a "happy" place. Why? Because moving is, in and of itself, chaotic, confusing, frustrating, maddening, and overwhe
