My family and I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sebring Animal Hospital. One of our dogs, Little Girl, hurt her leg to the point where she ripped through her Achilles tendon. Dr. Larry Jernigan and all the ladies at his office were so kind and understanding with our situation, that they took Little Girl under their wings and watched over her and nursed her for 38 days.

That is what I call service above and beyond what is normally expected of a business entity. ...more
