We have been going for 5 years. The main doctor left. The prices went up substantially and they order unnecessary tests!

I take my dog in for her nail trim and was shocked when paying the bill for $50.50 . Apparently they are now charging an extra $24.00 for the technician appt and $26.50 for the nail trim. I will not be going back. They can take that money and shove it. read more

I can not believe how bad things have gotten here. Everytime you call the answering machine says closed even if it during their posted open hours. If are lucky enough to get someone to answer the phone they are unable to perform basic tasks, like emailing or facing records. They are unable to even locate your account or pets information. read more

Called to find out pricing to get my dog neutered, which is a rescue lady was very polite and helpful but very very expensive actually the highest I found out there. read more

Nice people working hard for our dog. Responsive to emergencies. Thx Been here fir a few years read more

I recently lost my 13-year-old dog that had been a very close family member. This office has taken care of not only this dog but several before this one. The care they have given my pets has certainly been "Extraordinaire". I cannot say enough good things about, not only the DVM's but their entire staff. The last one was named Ginger, and they tried in every way to help her and comfort her when they knew nothing was going to help. I was able to hold her at the end and that meant the world to me. They were both very professional and compassionate. I would never hesitate to take any future pets to them, and I highly recommend their office to anyone in need of a veterinarian. read more

Once Dr Ball left this place went downhill fast, They way over charge for every thing! Showed no care when my dog passed away not even a sorry. Had me wait in a back room for over an hour and half with dogs crying in the back ground the whole time. Never saw a vet but a helper. Took my two dogs there for years. Every time I called was told to go to the emergency clinic? My last visit I was very angry and said I was done with that place and they did not care at all!! Told me they would send my papers over to my new place??? read more

I found Dr Diamond nice, but he kept pushing the trainers & behaviorist because my poodle puppy was so excited on my 1st visit. On my 2nd visit just for an injection he needed, they gave me an estimate for well over $200. I questioned why they added an injection (which was not due for several months), also wanted to charge annual exam (I pointed out we were there 2 mo. before). We got 1 injection & got the heck out of there. FYI: 2 mo. later we went to Emergency hosp with my poodle, he had multiple tests, plus medication & the bill about the same as one they tried to give me at Pet Extrod. Way over priced, wish my former Vet wasn't so far, he was more interested in helping the animals than $. read more

Took my puppy here as we we're passing through town to get the last of her puppy shots they got us right in great customer service! The checkout process took a little longer than I thought and they kept coming in and re-processing my paperwork but that may only be due to Covid. read more

This clinic dragged me through useless procedures and over $1000 worth of expenses for my cat, who wound up paralyzed and then had to be put to sleep. They never properly diagnosed her and later I discovered in a veterinary journal that she likely had a relatively common peritoneal infection. They seemed all concerned, asked if I wanted her cremated and when I said yes waited two days, called me and demanded over $300 or no go. I have nothing good to say about them. I lost a dear friend who suffered terribly through this process. read more

Dr. Diamond tried to save my kitty that was attacked by my neighbors dogs. Although we were unsuccessful, I still really appreciate his help and professionalism. His years of experience shined through as he knew after careful examination what happened to my cat when the other vets in west palm had no clue. I have 2 other animals and I would take them here in a heart beat read more

I've been to a lot of vets in my life some good some bad and I can tell you this place is by far the best my oldest Dog K.O has had an ongoing issue with his front right paw and I have spent a lot of money and time going to different places to find out what was wrong with it and within five minutes of K.O being there they knew what was wrong and how to treat it I can't tell you how much they love their job and the animals they treat I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that loves their pets read more

See all

I have 4 furry family members who love Dr. Diamond! Let me just say that we've tried no less than 5 different veterinarians in the last 10 years before finding Animal Care Extraordinaire. A friend referred me to the Stuart office after I had problems getting a proper diagnosis for one of my pets at my previous vet. Dr. Diamond was very encouraging and quickly found out what the issue was with my little girl. He outlined all my options but encourage an innovative course of treatment that has d greatly improved the quality of my pet's life. Her tumor is now in remission! Another very convenient thing is being able to schedule my pet's appointments at either location. While my initial visits where in Stuart, I often use the Jensen Beach office. read more

AMAZING customer service!!! My poor baby Gauge(well not so much baby, he's 12) a black lab mix rescue is very sick and the staff here are just so caring!!! Even though my poor baby had cancer and couldn't be saved. Even after he was gone STILL caring. They even asked me if I would like for them to sit with me for a while for comfort or if I needed a hug. Honestly caring beyond belief. Not just money to them. They even offered to keep my baby there till the next day so I would have time to grieve before having to take him back home to set him to rest. You and your pet are treated like family, you really can tell the love for animals that they have from the moment you step into their office. As well as pricing being very fair. -A read more

Animal Care Extraordinaire - Veterinarians Near Me - Stuart, Florida

If you care about your animal you will NEVER bring them here!! The staff is the worst. They constantly put you on hold when calling and they don't seem to know what they are doing. My animal had surgery and wasn't given the proper care that was needed. I was told it would require a 1 night stay and it wound up being 3 nights. Not even a full 24 hours later I had to take my animal to another office and spend almost what I paid for the surgery to get the proper care needed. Once released, they never called for a follow up to see how my animal was doing and when I called and explained what happened they said they spoke to the other office I took my animal to. Save yourself the money and headache and NEVER bring your animal here!! read more

They saved my 10 year old Pomeranian's life! I brought her into another hospital where they misdiagnosed her. For days I was left with no answers or a proper diagnoses and she was getting progressively worse. Until I went with my gut and brought her in to animal care extraordinaire. They gave me the first available appointment with DR. Ball and I am so glad we went because he performed the life saving surgery she needed the same day. He went above and beyond for my sweet little girl. I can't say enough good things about them or thank them enough. I will never go to another vet again! read more

This Vet is AWESOME. Dr Forquet is amazing! She helped me with my senior dog Lucy right up until the end. She was caring and considerate and I refer her all the time and this office now cares for my two new puppies! I find their pricing average BUT the care worth every last penny! read more

They turned me away because of Covid virus. My cat had an urgent issue with a UTI. They were very rude and in my opinion completely ridiculous. I can go to the beach but they can't take care of my cat. They are FIRED! read more

Excellent service, the doctor took a lot of time with my yorkie and genuinely cared for her. I really don't understand the remarks about this vet being expensive as I would actually say they are cheap. I highly recommend. read more

Very nice staff...however...extremely expensive and hard core sales tactics..too rich for my blood

Just another quick note on this veterinarian....you must have "deep pockets" as all procedures and medicines are very expensive here. That being said, if you need support, via phone, Dr. Diamond promptly returns your call. Worth the extra money paid! Update.... We eventually needed to euthanize our precious dog and would like to compliment Dr. Diamond and his staff on their professionalism. Dr. Diamond made us feel comfortable and explained the process well. We also found out that he has sold this business and will be staying only for a short period of time. So , if you use this vet, ask for Dr. Diamond while he is still working there. We had another experience with the female vet that was horrible......cold and no regard for our feelings. We will be severing our relationship with this vet due to the actions of the rest of the staff and their treatment of us when we had to euthanize our 15 year old dog that was in severe pain. The experience was negative to begin with and the other vet and staff that work here made it worse. read more

This veterinary office is amazing they have been treating my cat with care and compassion all while dealing with my two year old child throwing a two year old temper tantrum which they dealt with with smiles laughter and compassion as well this is an excellent practice and I will be continuing the care of my animals to their capable hands read more

This is an incredible vets office. I moved to Stuart a year ago and started taking my 11 year old chow mix, Reagan, there for preventative care. Both Dr. Ball and Dr. Diamond are incredible and were great with her. I couldn't say enough positive things. My dog definitely had white coat syndrome and they were patient with her. Unfortunately, I lost my dog a couple weeks ago to cancer. Dr. Diamond and Dr. Ball helped make the diagnosis over a couple appointments where I noticed she wasn't acting normal. She later was in obvious pain so I made the hard decision to put my girl to sleep. The doctors were kind and supportive. One staff member there, Tira, is awesome and really stood out. Multiple times during hard procedures to watch she just came and hugged me, usually while I was crying, without me seeking it out. Truly like an old friend would do without saying anything. She obviously cares so much and her deep level of care and concern for pets and people she doesn't even know was very impressive and comforting. With all that said, your pet will be in great hands with this office. I took a shot with them and I am glad I found them. read more

I moved to a Palm City approx a year ago and started bringing my Wheaton terrier and schnoodle here. I am so happy with Dr Diamond. Not only does he take the time to explain everything, he was able to help my Wheaton with her ear infections, that have plagued her most of her life. I would reccommend Dr Diamond highly. And my two four legged kids love him too! read more

Dr. Diamond is accessable, approachable and a pleasure to deal with. I recently tried this vet based on a recommendation and do not regret it at all. The staff is very friendly and will dole out treats like nobodys business and my puppy loves it! He isnt afraid to come because everyone is so kind to him. And he accepts pet insurance! read more

We moved into the area from Ohio and my boxer absolutely loves coming here. The staff is so kind and loving. We use the veterinary service as well as the boarding service. He looks so good when I pick him up from a weekend stay, sometimes he doesn't want to leave. read more

I have had the pleasure of both boarding my animals here and receiving fantastic service and care for my cat and dogs. The Drs and staff are true professionals who know their craft and genuinely care for their patients and owners. They take the time to share all of your options, make logical recommendations and answer all of your questions .I fully recommend this office for anyone's pets. read more

My cats have been under the care of Drs. Diamond and Ball for almost 20 years. It is with great sadness that I must find another veterinarian office because I'm moving 7 1/2 hours away. If you're currently looking for a practice that has caring, compassionate vets and staff you cannot find another office as good as this one. I'm going to miss them and only hope I can find a new office that comes close to their excellence. read more

Dr. Petroff is the best in the business! As a fear-free certified vet, she was so professional and caring with my newly adopted cat. He got sick a few days after I brought him home and she was very informative and kept him calm through his shots and medicine. I look forward to a long and full life with my little guy, and I'm sure he will stay happy and healthy with Dr. Petroff as his veterinarian. read more

I take my 11 year old shih tzu, Brutus to Dr. wood for acupuncture. He is very patient and gentle with him ( and me). We moved to PSL in july 2012 and went to 2 other places before finding Dr. Wood. We didn't like their approach to treatment, so we kept looking. Brutus has a number of things wrong with his health, but you wouldn't know it interacting with him. Dr. wood has been very helpful with recommending a holistic approach, acupuncture and herbs. He does get heartmedication, but our goal is to prolong his active life as naturally as possible. I am not a fan of steroids, rimadyl, even metacam if it is given every day. i believe that they actually shorten your pets life and the potential side effects can have dire impact on your pets quality of life. Dr. Wood takes the time to give his best advice and I can appreciate that. I would drive hours for the right vet, but luckily I don't have to:) We have 2 other shih tzus, Bijou, 31/2 year old & Boelle, 1 year old and now Dr. Wood is their vet too. We are happy to have a vet, who cares about his work and clients! read more

This is the most amazing vet I have ever been to. The Vet and staff are so knowledgeable and the office manners are on point. It was recommended to me and its truly is the best. Take your pets here! read more

We had called ahead to book an emergency appointment while traveling from Key West to Orlando. Dr Fourquet saw us on Sunday and she and Dr Ball took special care of our 17 year old Bichon on Monday. Did laser surgery on her eyelid to remove a growth that caused a cornea ulcer. We were in very good hands and would highly recommend this clinic read more

Our Dr. was L. Fourquet, She was amazing with our pet. We came short notice 12/3/17 the front staff was friendly and they were able to get us in to see our Cat last minute. The office visit was wayyyyy more compared to the Banfield PET HOSPITAL. We paid $65 the first time for the Office Visit had to come back b/c in the visit the Dr discovered she had intestinal parasite, ear infection and an upper respiratory infection. And she would need to do a fecal test & ear exam to verify what type of intestinal parasite she had and to confirm if she had an ear infection she told us this was normal for rescue/shelter cats. Due to the unexpected cost of having to pay $250 we had to reschedule at a more financially convenient time. We were told we could pay for the office visit and we would need to reschedule for further treatment. 12/9/17 we were greeted by front staff very friendly, this visit we did not see the Dr. She was there I guess she was overbooked b/c she accidently came in our patient room, as she explained to us. She then greeted us and quickly left, instead the tech assisted in care. Although she...the Tech was friendly unfortunately she was not knowledgeable about our previous visit she exposed in our cats chart they made a note we were not able to afford care, she wanted us to pay again for an office visit, she was unable to administer medicine properly to our cat it was spilled everywhere, she was unable to do the fecal exam correct the first time and explained she would need to attempt again, she took the parasite sample from our cat that she saw on her fur and examined it explained it was a tapeworm and she would administer the pill and would match the price with the other medicine they were initially going to prescribe and that we would still need to give her the remaining medecine (Nemex) at home, 2 weeks worth, the RX was also spelled wrong so we had a difficult time looking up the medication online(we were not sent home with RX information about the medication like what it does and it's RX use history...etc. We did get dosage information and what the medication is used for which said on their round/hookworm...or of the prognosis/and or information such as an examination report for home care, just a bill/statement) . We were requested to f/u in 2 weeks. on 12/16/17 I called to find out how long it would take for the tapeworm to go away due to us still seeing segments. I was told we would receive a call back. We never received a call... I called again 1/6/18 b/c I saw the segments from my cat again on her fur and I was told that sometimes it takes more rounds of the medication for them to go away and that she would call me back with an RX. We went to the Banfield PET HOSPITAL in JUPITER 1/7/18. They were AMAZINGGGGGGGG 5 STARSSS. That same day later on Animal Care Extraordinaire called, she spoke to my wife and explained they in fact never did administer tapeworm medication to our cat and they were in the process of getting the RX ready. At that point I informed them we had taken our pet elsewhere for treatment and we were provided with wayyyyyyyyyy more information. So that's why I can only give them a 2 star rating even though the Dr. was great with our cat and she did successfully diagnose and treat her upper respiratory and ear infection she dropped the ball in some other areas, her Tech as well. -The Byrds xoxo read more

They have been our vet for the past 2 years. They are very caring and go above and beyond. We rescued a kitty that was a week old and they had us bring him in to show us how to care for him; feeding, teaching him to go to the bathroom, etc.... at no charge. The same cat has been a healthy happy cat until now when he developed a bladder disorder which he is currently being treated for. What I like is no matter how busy they are Dr. Diamond and his staff always take the time to explain things to the fullest and make sure you are comfortable and your questions are answered. We have had different kinds of appointments from annual check ups, teeth cleaning, illnesses and injuries.... they care and they always follow-up with a phone call to make sure your pet is doing well and see if you have any questions. I recommend them. read more

The staff and doctors are great. They took the time to answer all of my questions concerning my new puppy - and they were endless... I appreciated the care we received and will they will be our vet for a long time. Go there - you won't be disappointed. read more
