Brought my 16 yo doggie Heidi to MAC seen by Dr Rod Wood for a 2nd opinion and he was great with Heidi and precise with his diagnosis. Rod also suggested non surgical method, which I decided to use the Chinese herbs in powder form that he recommended. Pray for my awesome doggie Heidi. He also does acupuncture! Thank You MAC and to Dr. Wood. read more

She had the determination to go vertical to fix my Ella's After running countless test to clear her for surgery and the most important almost, She decided to go to veterinarian school many years ago In the desire, you have to be a great veterinarian.

My dog had been treated before and received very good care by Dr. Wood. My dog is nervous and benefits from sedation depending on the vet and procedure. He was sedated and adequate time was given to kick in. The biopsy was done without incident. When I went back Dr. Wood was not available and although my dog was given the same sedation as his biopsy, they scheduled him so not enough time was given for it to kick in.They then wanted to sedate him even more which I was not OK with. They then wanted to charge for a consult that they did not give him. Dave, the office manager then came out and told me I didn't need to pay for the consult, but I should find a vet with better protocol. Yes, those were his words. My dog is now asleep in the car from the meds that he had been given, but they scheduled poorly and did not give enough time to kick in and also badmouthed him to other vets that I called to make an appt with. Unprofessional. Unbelievable. read more

Great place! My 20 year old cat needed to be seen. My usual vet was going to charge me an extra $100 to be seen as an emergency. A friend told me to call Monterey. They saw my cat with two hours and charged $75 for the visit. Loved everything about them! The place isn't fancy, but the care and service was outstanding. Needless to say, I will be going there from now on! read more

Very pleased with Monterey Animal Clinic and the ongoing care they are providing our pets (3 cats) 1 Dachshund. The office staff is friendly and welcoming, rare in most vet offices. I was happy to be referred and transfer all of our records. New to Jensen Beach, it was not easy finding a vet practice I felt comfortable with. Dr. Hooks was super and I am pleased I met him before he retired. We have rotated among the vets reflecting different issues and timing. Pleased with all. Lucy D. read more

Dr Maldonado is an exceptional vet. She cares. She follows up with in person calls, takes her time with my pup and her manner is very kind. I refer anyone I can think of who may need a vet to this spot. Great work folks. read more

Had my Maine Coons tumor removed.So satisfied with all their care. My cat is scared of everything but the vet and staff were good with him. So pleased with their care. read more

I'm very happy that I was able to find Dr. Wood my dog & cat's previous veterinarian from another office! He's great, honest and caring. The facility is warm and friendly which is a huge plus for me. They have an ER care and, I believe, an ophthalmologist's facility too, a one-stop convenience! Everyone is professional and kind. Having to move and live in an unfamiliar area was very concerning for my fur baby's well-being. Here's the best part Monterey Animal is approximately 5 minutes away, at the most, if there were no lights and emergency (I hope this will never be a day to experience)... I'm happy, happy! read more

Terrific experience everytime Your staff is really terrific as is my awesome Dr Maldonado. Everyone is always so cheerful and kind to all of my pups and I am so very grateful that you all are doing what you can in this pandemic era, coming out into the Florida heat that's coming off of that blacktop parking lot to get my pups while I sit in my air-conditioned car. What could be better? read more

the vets are good. I like Dr Hook. however, on the day of my dog's neuter after the dog had a pre op and was in their care, there is a $433 extra charge never previously mentioned even though I had expressly asked if there were extra fees. When I complained, they refused to do the neuter. very unprofessional. I was a customer of theirs for 10 years, brought 5 dogs there, referred many. always paid my bills immediately. My advice: get everything in writing. never complain. tell them how wonderful they are no matter what. The vets, themselves, are fine. remember: they are always right. you just bow and thank them while handing over your CC. They are fragile. read more

Not impressed after Dr Giovondo left. A male vet walks in starts handling my dog with out saying who he was. I asked who he was he says oh I'm Dr Stinson didn't say much after that. On another visit when my dog was bitten a female vet was obsessed with putting a drain in his neck. I didn't want him staying overnight,put to sleep for a drain in his neck for approximately week or 2. I asked for alternative. She said she'd put him on surgical schedule , if I wanted to take him home with antibiotics to get his hematoma down by Monday or have surgery. I said we'll go home with antibiotics. In 3 days I got hematoma done with out surgery & a huge bill & no drain in his neck. read more

I've been bringing my fur babies and grand fur babies here for years! The staff and gifted veterinarians are so caring here. They have always went above and beyond for our family.

I am posting her pics while she is sick as a positive forward action so in a couple of days from now I can post updated pics of her perky healthy self. Update Thursday 6-28-18 my precious Lady passed. I did EVERYTHING I could do...ALL of the veterinarians and staff did EVERYTHING they could do to save my fur grand baby. Thank you! Reneé read more

Started going there after Dr Wood saved my pugs life. At his other location. He had pancreatitis and was in bad shape. Took 5 days and that was 2 years ago! The entire office is kind and great to deal with. Brought my new pup there when I rescued her for a work up. Professional and kind read more

Called on a Weds with a cat with a bad leg/in pain. They scheduled me for Friday at 5. I should have known... When I came in they had me sign a contract and took a copy of my driver's license. Kinda like they have had a lot of credit disputes and this covers them... When the vet walked in I could tell by his demeanor this wasn't going to end well. He asked if I wanted an estimate, then said $400. To xray my cats leg. Leave now you're saying, right? Well first my 9 year old is standing there and now I owe them about $100 for weighing the cat and taking it's temp. Kinda stuck, right? Signed a contract... And it's after 5 on a Friday. I did the math on these guys. 4 "Drs" each working one or 2 days a week. $400 x @ a conservative 4 pets per hour = $1600 per hour. X an 8 hr day that's $12,800 PER DAY! Now that is conservative mind you. They wanted an extra $1300 + + + for a 90 min procedure... It's your money, I prefer to spend mine with someone honest. I'm so glad I could compensate the vet over $400 for 15 mins of his precious time. Call it what it is. A thief is a thief If I save one person a financial beating it was worth the time to post this read more

Monterey Animal Clinic has been so good to our dog and us since we moved here in 2015 through to the final days of our dog's life in 2023. Dr. Hooks found her hundreds of stones and gave us a plan and Dr. Stinman removed them. We continued to see Dr. Stinman and he helped us provide the best care for her after as well as whatever issues arose as she aged. Finally, Dr. Wood discovered her terminal cancer and helped us provide her the best palliative care we could right up to her final day. He always returned my calls and was quick in response. In the wake of her loss, we feel comforted knowing we did everything we could for her until the end. As a family of Monterey Animal Clinic, we have always felt cared for and that they cared a great deal about our sweet dog. We have never felt nickeled-and-dimed. We have always been provided several options and recommendations, leaving us feeling guided,  not pressured, and we felt supported in our final decisions. We would definitely use Monterey Animal Clinic again and recommend them as a wonderful place to take and care for your pet. read more

Dr. Hooks is the most caring cat vet in Stuart, Florida. My 16 year old girl Baby Misty was having breathing trouble, I called at 4pm and they fit us in. They took her in as soon as I arrived, after a few minutes I was taken into a room, Dr. Hooks showed me fluid from her lungs, and kindly told me she had fluid in her belly ,and gave her 5 percent chance of survival, I thanked him for his honesty and she passed to the rainbow bridge peace and love read more

I have been going to Montetey Animal Clinic for a few years and Dr. Hooks is wonderful. But lately it seems that every time I go their main concern is charging you as much as they possibly can. It is out of control. I will not be going there any more. read more

I brought my cat in for a check up as he wasn't acting himself--turns out he has diabetes. I had tons of questions and from the vets to the nurses, everyone was so helpful. I've had to call a few times and it's very reassuring to be able to speak directly with a vet. I prefer practices like this with multiple vets on staff for this reason. Friendly people who are passionate about what they do! Makes you feel good about bringing your pet here. :) read more

Dr. Christina Maldonado--you are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and just overall amazing! People in Palm Beach always make a face when asking, "Wow, isn't that a far drive to Stuart?" My reply, "only the best for my bab(ies)! read more
