Ali M.

I recently moved to Florida from DC. I was searching on Yelp for a veterinarian for my dogs. This is how I discovered Boulevard Animal Hospital. I live a bit of a distance from here, but I was impressed with the reviews. Also, the fact that this is a small owner operation is a big plus. Just as I expected, on my first visit, the staff were very courteous, polite and helpful. The office is extremely health and safety conscious and they were taking maximum precautions for Covid19. My appointment was for 10:30 AM. They took my dog in at 10:30 promptly. Dr. Stan Hopek examined my dog and was done about 11:00 AM. He spent the next 15 minutes to discuss the prognosis and the options. He took the time to make sure that I understood exactly what was going on. More impressively, he made a very honest recommendation for the best course of treatment. I say impressive, because he did not recommend the most expensive course of treatment. And he did not recommend a cocktail of drugs. This is the difference between a 30 year veteran doctor and the big veterinary hospitals full of vet school graduates who are basically drug pushers for their boss just to pay their overheads (at the cost of our pets). I'm very thankful to God that I discovered Boulevard Animal Hospital. Finding a good honest veterinarian is like finding a good honest auto repair shop. This is the real deal.

One happy puppy!

Unable to get any information about cost of basic services over the phone. Won't tell me what a…read moredental cleaning and Xray costs, i.e. a very basic service like vaccinations etc. They give the same spiel as many high-cost clinics in the area "we can't give that out over the phone". I am tired of dealing with this business tactic from vets in the area. A few will discuss pricing, but the ones that won't have gotten me in the door in the past and then they gouge you with a huge bill, expecting you to just pay it because you have no other information. Their patient intake form clearly states "AT YOUR REQUEST WE WILL GLADLY DISCUSS COST OF SERVICES and/or PREPARE A WRITTEN ESTIMATE FOR RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES." I recommend you remove that, since it is not true. I am not asking for any written estimate, just basic discussion of cost, which they refuse to provide as a policy. Sadly, this whole process has been incredibly draining. I just want my dog to be well. You may be a good clinic with good practices, but based on the limited info I have, it's not worth it for me to waste 3 hours of my life and subjecting my dog to more exams just so you can get me in the door and then most likely gouge me.

When I refused to have a 1000.00 worth of test done. I was told that I should surrender my pet to the humane society if I couldn't afford to pay for the thousand dollars worth of unnecessary test! I brought my pet there bc of a diarrhea problem. The funny thing was, I was the one that had to ask for a fecal test! She wanted to do x-rays and all kinds of tests first to fill up her purse! She didn't even do a fecal test until I insisted that one be done. In which I later found out that he had worms! If you don't have lots of money....don't go to this vet! I later called and asked to speak with Dr. Zinderman the other vet and they refused to allow me to speak with him and of course he never called me back.

I couldn't give SurfSide and its staff enough praise. We've lived in Martin County for six years…read moreand have been to multiple vets, but over the past couple of years--and with several new little family pets--SurfSide has truly stood above the rest. They have become our pets' official veterinary service, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or go anywhere else. We've had multiple check-up visits, surgeries (spay/neuters), first visits for a feral cat, and more (as I said, lots of new family members). Unfortunately, we also had to say a final goodbye to our oldest pet. Through every stage, the staff have been absolutely incredible--passionate, understanding, friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. I sincerely hope anyone who comes across this review will not hesitate to take their pet to SurfSide.

We contacted the office and over a couple days tried to get them to correct the botched surgery.

"Dr" Abadia is in violation of his AVMA code of ethics and demonstrates poor business practices. A good vet with ethics would have apologized this happed at all, and covered the corrective surgery.

I'm giving two out of five stars for a few reasons…read more Dr. Wade does seem capable and knowledgable and she clearly has a passion for animals. That said, her time management could definitely use some improvement. I scheduled our first appointment, and the day before, I was asked to move it up an hour, which I agreed to. Then, on the day of the appointment, there was another request to switch back to the original time. I held back my frustration, as although I agreed, I was forced to rearrange our calendar at short notice. Regarding our second visit; shortly after confirming the 10:30AM appointment, I received a text asking if she could come an hour earlier, as she was apparently trying to accommodate another client. I agreed, but then received another text shortly thereafter asking us to return to the original time of 10:30AM. Honestly, it feels like there's a perception that people don't have busy lives and that the onus is on the client to accommodate her other patients. It's inconvenient and causes difficulties for people. The next morning Dr. Wade showed up at 9:15AM, 75 minutes early, insisting that leaving an unanswered voicemail and text justifies disregarding our scheduled appointment time. I turn my phone off at night so I did not get her communications; meaning that she got no affirmation that that would be okay with us. Dr Wade claimed that her patients appreciate it when she arrives early. Ten or 15 minutes might be okay, but I am confident that most people do not think that showing up early an hour and a half plus in the AM is acceptable. It wouldn't have stuck in my craw so much however, when I attempted another honest discussion with her regarding this issue, instead of accepting responsibility, Dr. Wade claimed that perhaps I was confused with another veterinarian who services our area. I had to acknowledge to myself what I was dealing with and quickly lost all confidence in her willingness to address the situation honestly. Humility is a virtue and I sincerely hope that that once Dr. Wade is a bit more seasoned, she might realize the importance of being more considerate towards clients in that aspect of her business. In any case, this is the second time (out of two visits) that the scheduling has inconvenienced us and that really isn't conducive to a good client/doctor relationship in my opinion. Another concerning issue is that Dr Wade insists that you order medications from an online pharmacy that is directly linked to her website. Not surprisingly, the pricing is significantly higher than regular avenues like Chewy, Costco, CVS and even our own compounding pharmacy. Further, there is a required $19.95 "expedited 3 business day delivery fee". This is another problematic hoop to jump through. Because of the exorbitant pricing, I had to insist that she call in the script to my preferred pharmacy. She did, but with the following text message, which I found to be dismissive and brash: "We just got your text. We were closed New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. We got Chewy's email. We'll give a verbal approval this one time." I will say that Dr. Wade seems up-to-date on testing, treatments, and studies related to pet care, which we did appreciate, but her platform just isn't the right fit for us. I would suggest contacting Midway Veterinary, Dr. Holland has been in the business for 40 years, the office is very accommodating and the staff is fantastic.
