    This doctor did an amazing job at taking care of my dog and stitching her up after she was attacked by another dog two years ago HOWEVER my recent appointment was horrific! Stay away from this place!!! These people are a scam!! I brought my dog in because she has a really bad skin condition all of a sudden with a horrible rash and patches of fur missing. The doctor called me after the $62 exam (keep in mind you cannot go inside, they only take your dog in from the parking lot) and told me there is a lot going on with my dog and I need to take a $200 course to get educated or spend $350/hour for a phone conversation to talk about the next steps. I told her I didn't have time for a course and my dog is severely in distress and needs help asap and I proceeded to ask what can I do for her or if she has any recommendations or any medical treatment that she can do asap. She continued to tell me she can only offer the course in order to proceed further. I told her I didn't understand what service I was paying for if she can't tell me anything about the exam. This became an issue and I was bashed for going to a vet prior that gave her antibiotics that didn't work. The doctor and her vet tech were so unprofessional and rude to me! Finally she gave my boyfriend (who was in the parking lot)papers about the exam and he just paid and left this horrible place. Once I saw the paperwork it literally just had my answers from an online questionnaire I filled out prior to the appointment and a few written things about my dog. I called the vet with questions about what those things meant and I got nothing but attitude and no real answers! I took my dog to another vet the next day and found out my dog had a horrible ear infection that was never disclosed by this doctor!! I'm sure she will reply back with a attitude as I see she does with other Google reviews/complaints and I most definitely got snippy and rude right back to her! Avoid this headache of a place!! I'm all for holistic health but the way the doctor and this staff goes about things with pushing a $200 course seems like they are completely money hungry scammers! I actually declined the course as it was presented to me over the phone when I made the appointment and the tech said "that's fine, we can still do the exam" ...then once they had my dog locked in their building, they did the bait and switch and said it's a required course!! I certainly contacted the BBB!

    I was eagerly recommended to Dr. Siegel by the veterinarian I took my dog to in Colorado (I moved back to Florida in 2021). I am so grateful for that recommendation. I have been taking my dog, Gemini, to see Dr. Siegel and her team since we moved down here, and Gemini continues to do well in her senior years. She was a "seizure dog" since the age of 1, but with Dr. Siegel's help, Gemini is off her seizure meds and has been seizure-free for over a year. Dr. Siegel does not push unnecessary treatments like other vets I've been to in the past have, which I greatly appreciate. I feed Gemini Dr. Siegel's food and she loves it. Not too long ago, Gemini made a new human friend who was servicing my condo and he asked how old she is. I replied that she is 12. He was shocked and said, "She looks GREAT for 12!" Gemini maintains good energy and a zest for life, and I know the food, supplements, frequencies, and other treatments from Dr. Siegel and her team are a big part of why. Dare I say Gemini seems to get better with age! I drive an hour to Dr. Siegel's office each way, which is 100% worth it. I highly recommend her to every pet parent who truly wants the absolute best for their fur baby.

    Pasco Veterinary Medical Center is such a blessing for my 14 year old dog. She had really started to slow way down once I moved to Florida over a year ago. I luckily found Dr. Siegel shortly after moving here. With their help, knowledge & guidance my dog has of today returned to her full energy self. I'm just so greatful to Dr. Siegel and all of her friendly team. Not only can her program help heal quickly but also teach us things that we have been misinformed on as far as pet nutrition and supplements for them. I was giving and doing everything wrong for my dog I'm just so glad we reversed almost everything now. As she is still improving each month, it's so amazing to see that joyful spark come back. She also offer courses to teach us to be the best fur parent that we can be for them. The first course "The Empowered Pet Parent Course" in particular is designed to see where we are at with understanding of things in regards to food & supplements. Majority of stuff we have been told is not beneficial to our pets health so this course is designed to set us on the correct path. I cannot say enough about the RAW diet food Dr. Siegel offers that was a game changer for us. After only 1 month in on the RAW diet I noticed dramatic changes in my dog's energy levels plus her coat rejuvenated. She has just continued to literally reverse in age its honestly unbelievable. I'm so greatful to all at Pasco Veterinarian Medical Center we both love you guys.

    First and foremost, I recommend Pasco veterinarian to everyone. My pup "Clayball" fell off the bed and was paralyzed in his hind end. I brought him in to Pasco Veterinary. Doc. assess the situation and came up with a plan. With in 2 weeks of Treatment he had improved remarkably thanks to Doc. & her team. They are very knowledgeable, kind, & understanding of how stressful the situation can be for you & your family. I was put at ease everyday knowing they were doing there best for my boy. I am very thankful that Pasco veterinarian was referred to me. So now I am referring them to all of you.💝

    I've seen a few negative reviews on here regarding Marlene being pushy or trying to sell stuff. I've known her for nearly a quarter of a century, helping me with three of the dogs I've had during that time. If you don't understand her passion, you may think she's pushy, because it's hard to believe anyone really cares about anything these days besides making money. Yes, she WILL try to sell you appropriate products if she believes they will benefit your dog. And yes, many of the products are her products because she is a fanatic about creating the healthiest product available, and not selling mass produced stuff. I also remember, years ago, she drove a half hour to my home to bring me some of her own branded ointment for my pet that she gave me for free, enough for a few days which addressed the problem. She didn't make any money off that. She simply CARED about me and my dog. Honestly, I can't always afford everything she offers, and she will always first offer the very best because to her, animals are like children. Also, many of her treatments are non-western, holistic type things, and she will use these unless a western medicine is absolutely necessary in the treatment of your animal. She firmly believes that inflammation is the root cause of many ailments, and will often go that route, via recommending supplements, etc. that address that. If you are a person who laughs at that sort of thing, Marlene might not be the right vet for you. But she DOES utilize typical western treatments if she believes those treatments are the best way to get the job done, or if they are simply the only way. But if western medicine isn't going to work, her passionate nature means that IF she believes you may be hurting your dog by not being open to supplements and treatments that would address the root cause (as opposed to just sticking an ineffective western-medicine band-aid on the problem) she will be completely honest with you about that fact. Sometimes the truth hurts. My advice? Just bear with her as she goes through her recommendations, and don't take her disagreement of your rejection of her trying to offer you her BEST (often more expensive products/services) personally. It's just who she is. And if you just take a step back and a deep breathe, and continue working with her, she will find less expensive products and services that will do the job, perhaps in a less efficient way, but still better than the western medicine treatments other vets seem to always rely on. She has quite a list of different products and services she offers, and not all are hard on the wallet. Again, Marlene is SUPER passionate, but don't confuse that with pushy. Just have the confidence to go in there and be willing to disagree with her respectfully, or admit you can't afford the top-tier treatment, and you'll be surprised at some of the alternatives she offers. I'll take a vet like her any day over someone who just smiles and takes my money by offering cheaper western alternatives that don't address the root cause, and simply don't help your animal in the long run. Marlene is the real deal.
