Horrible experience. I made an initial appt for my puppy a few months ago. I received a call AND an email to confirm the appt. I went in at the same date and time and the receptionist told me they couldn't locate the appt. I gave her all of my information and she mentioned I didn't have an appt. I go to show her the email I received and suddenly she was able to locate me. However, she proceeded to tell me that the doctor had an emergency and all appts were canceled. I mentioned that no one had contacted me to tell me this, I took the day off to be able to take my pup in and they did not have the decency of calling me and reschedule. About 15 minutes after I left I get a call that the doctor was available and if I wanted to take her in. It all seemed like a joke. Needless to say that I would never go back there. I rather drive much farther to take her to another vet. read more

I visited this Animal clinic because I wanted to get my kitten, Tuna, a general check up. Everyone from the front desk receptionists to the doctors and nurses were extremely kind! Will definitely be coming back here again! A big thank you to the Paradise Animal Clinic staff! read more

Paradise Animal Clinic - Kitten - Veterinarians Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

I went in for a spay yesterday for my cat. They told me drop off was at 9 and pick up was at 3. It was my first time taking my cat to that vet since it's so difficult to get appointments with the humane society and I was also recommended by a coworker who neutered his three cats there. I came back at 3 and they handed her to me with no cone. I was confused and asked "no cone?" since even with a quick google search you can see that cats always need cones since immediately after they can the incisions and possibly open it. They told me no cone and to keep her in the crate until 7 and then feed her. No monitoring, no "don't let her lick herself" so anyone with no experience in their cat being spayed could have been just as lost. I did just that once she got out everything had blood on it and was actively dripping blood while eating. I searched up in google and it said that only a little blood is normal, but profusely could be a serious issue. I took her to an urgent care who then told me to take her to an animal hospital where they told me that her top incisions were loose but it all could have been preventable with a cone. The bill came out to be over 300$ FOR A MEASLY STITCH THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED WITH A CONE. I called today and told them the situation and as to why I wasn't given a cone in the first place. "They told me they don't provide cones" and "this doesn't normally happen" . Then they had the audacity to tell me that animal hospitals only told you that to get money out of you. Are you kidding me?!?! Now because of their negligence, I had to pay the price for taking my cat to such a horrible place. Never would I ever recommend this place to anyone ever again. read more

I will only ever trust one person with my pets: Dr. Pausa. My dogs are everything to me, and I need to know that they're in the best possible hands. He truly loves what he does and goes above and beyond for his patients. I've been going to him since my first dog, almost 15+ years ago. I've never considered going anywhere else. Kudos to his staff as well, I feel like they're with us every step of the way when it comes to my dogs' care. Los quiero a todos mucho read more

There's so many things to say about this place but we can stick to the basics.. Not only are they misleading their people to "fast" service with a reservation time but the people here are god awful. The doctor says he's prompt but I'm pretty sure he meant he rushes through questions and doesn't take the time to show he cares about anything but the money he's receiving. It starts with the front office - the ladies there are rude and extremely disrespectful. They laugh at the people in the waiting area, they're on their phones most of the time and there's no courtesy.... it's just very rude and all around unprofessional. I'd rate this 0 stars if I could. I will not be coming back. Nor should you. read more

On the afternoon of February 14,2022, my family and I were forced to make the very difficult decision to euthanize one of our family dogs. As if this day was not painful enough, the provider I trusted to help my family get through this experience completely lacked empathy and professionalism. From the moment that Dr. Jaime Pausa entered the patient room, he did NOT introduce himself. I was standing by the operating table and consoling my dog when he said, "can you move so I can work." He continued with the procedure and as he listened for the final heartbeat, he then stated "ok, it's done" and proceeded to quickly leave the room. I work in the medical field, and I understand medical professionals can become jaded and desensitized to delicate matters, including euthanasia, when they perform these procedures so frequently. However, speaking as a pet owner and on behalf of my family members, the actions of this veterinarian was jarring. It does not take any more time or skill to be sympathetic to the experiences of clients and patients. Dr. Pausa spent no more than 10 minutes with my dog and I before he abruptly exited. He did not display a single sign of sympathy. He did not provide a single word of condolence. He did not provide any sentiment that this was a difficult moment for me and my family. He simply walked out. I cannot believe that a licensed provider in this field could be so callous during such a heart-breaking moment. I am completely disgusted and appalled by the customer service and the lack of consideration for clients. Paradise Animal Clinic, you should be ashamed of yourself and Dr. Pausa! I hope that whoever receives this message will make the right decision to never go here for any services until these deplorable conditions and unacceptable behaviors are corrected through training or the employee is dismissed. read more

It was a Wonderful experience at Paradise Animal Clinic. Dr. Pausa was a great, honest, and a VERY affordable Vet. The staff was always helpful and kind.

I send all my friends and family over to them without hesitation. read more

Paradise Animal Clinic - Leo the Bengal - Veterinarians Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Never again will I take my fur babies to this location! Uncaring staff with no attention to details. Took my 7 month old kitty to get spayed there and it was the biggest mistake I've made. When my husband went to pick her up, the unprofessional front desk staff gave him our kitty and said no food or water until after 7pm. He asked if she needed a cone, antibiotics or pain medication and her response was "no food or water till 7pm". No direction on the care for her whatsoever... now I have to take her to another vet to ensure she's ok. This place was more of a "butcher" than a vet, plus the staff had no clue of compassion or providing the appropriate care for your pet. If you love your fur babies... avoid this place...trust me. read more

I am surprised to see how many negative reviews this clinic has on Yelp! I, for one, have zero complaints. My cats have been treated with love and attention. The vets are professional, friendly, and willing to answer any questions. They,in fact, saved my cat's life 2 years ago when he had a serious stomach issue. Overall, the practice is clean, prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly. read more

Great vet. Been coming to over a decade. Highly recommend bringing all your pets here for the best care. Friendly staff and fair prices.

Don't go there if your dog is poisoned and is having convulsions. They will send you away.

This was the most unprofessional and questionable clinic I have ever had the misfortune to take my pet to. When I brought my kitten in, I had a gut wrenching feeling about leaving her there and I should have listen to it. I dropped her off at 9 AM and told to pick her up at 3 PM. When I came to pick her up at 3 PM I was told no she won't be ready till 330. When I asked why, all I received was attitude. As if it were a stupid question. When I finally got my kitten back, at 3:45... I tried to ask the assistant several questions but all she kept repeating to me was no food no water till 7 PM. I continued to try to get answers to the multiple questions that I had both in English and in Spanish and all I kept getting was no food no water until 7 PM. When I got her home and took her out of her carrying case, she was completely out of it and there was blood on her belly. Yes, she was bleeding! So I called the clinic back so I could voice my concerns. They had no idea as to what I was talking about and gave me the run around. They didn't even know whether or not she had stitches. At first I was told that she did and that I would have to go and get my own cone because they don't provide them. This was never mentioned to me while I was there. She then told me minutes later oh she doesn't need a cone because she doesn't have stitches they were absolutely clueless about what her procedure was and her condition. All she was was a number As opposed to our pet. This place is unprofessional, unreliable and I find it unbelievable that this was how they conduct business. I will never take any pet to this place again and I will never recommend it. Keep away! read more

I am so surprised to see so many negative reviews for Paradise Animal Clinic. This is the only vet I trust! I've been bringing my dogs to Dr. Pausa for over 10 years and they're so great, my dogs are always taken care of. In fact, a few years ago, my poodle had a stroke and I didn't think he would survive and Dr. Pausa, Dr. Martinez and their teams saved his precious life. The receptionist and everyone there are truly one of a kind. They treat me and my dogs are part of the family. I love them! read more

This clinic helped save my 3 dogs! The 1st dog got ran over by a car her little leg was broken. They got to save her leg they helped with a payment plan to help pay for her Surgery and stay. The prices are not crazy because they do care for the animals. Just yesterday my two other dogs decided to go and have some fun with a toad( mind you they were just suppose to use the bathroom and come right back in). When I go to see them in the back yard they were dying. Horrible experience, quickly me and my cousin took them here. The staff opened their doors immediately and took action to save the pups. They are alive thanks to the staff and the doctor . God Bless this place and their good work. read more

I have recommended this clinic to all the people that have asked me if I know a good veterinarian and they have all been very happy as well. read more

If there was a negative rating I would do it. Please pet lovers don't be fooled by the "cockiness" of this Dr. Pausa he is a bull-shitter and I have caught him contradicting himself several times-he has no ethics or morals. He gave my dog a BOTCH SURGERY, trying to operate 2 hernias and neuter my dog and then told me after treating my dog for a almost a month, that he was 99% sure that he had a tumor on his prostate, and could not show me the tumor on the X-ray. He then Suggested a $600 biopsy for something he wasn't even 100%" sure of and/or other option come back that week to put my dog down. Instead I got a 2nd opinion trying to get that 100% confirmation, and they assured me this vet had not said the truth and that there was NO TUMOR. The Veterinarian told me that I should report this vet for giving my dog this botch surgery. I wish I could upload some pics of my dogs rectum-so you can see the destruction the scumbag performed on my dog. The vet's assistant, was crying when she saw my Shitzu's anus. God willing I was referred to CERTIFIED SURGEONS, in the hopes he can correct what this vet did. Picked up all medical records full of lies and even falsifying a document with my signature! I am convinced Dr. Pausa screwed up but was too arrogant and greedy ($2,000 +) to admit it! read more

They saved my dogs life! I have a senior dog and she was acting strange for a day or two. This morning she was panting and stumbling around. We called ahead and they told us they could fit us in but we would have to wait a bit. As soon as they saw her they rushed her to the back for emergency surgery. I won't go into details as to what was wrong with her because it was really nasty. They managed to take care of her and STILL see all the other appointments. They are straight up and never perform or prescribe anything they don't think is absolutely necessary. Also do not show up with a nasty attitude. They shut that down real quick. They will take care of your pet but your attitude can wait outside. read more

This is very odd to have negative reviews on Paradise Animal Clinic! I have been taking my dog for over ten years and everything from the service to the staff has been consistent with excellence service. And I am very particular with my veterinarian. Rest assure you and your pet are in good hands with Dr. Pausa. read more

This place is AMAZING! They are a pet parent's best choice for their fur babies care. My boyfriend and I have two sphynx cats (hairless cats) and the female recently had a litter, the whole pregnancy was just a disaster and super nerve racking. My adult sphynx cats go to a major chain clinic associated with a well known pet store. We even pay monthly "wellness plans" that come out to a whopping total of 60 bucks a month. Let me tell you they are garbage!!! Anyway because of the complications that had arisen with the birth of the kitties a good friend of mine recommended Paradise Animal clinic! I'm so glad I discovered them! One of the kittens that is barely two weeks old developed a HUGE abscess on its hind leg. They took me in with no appointment. They gave my grand-kitten a shot of antibiotics and sent me home with meds for a week. The treatment from start to finish was pleasant. Dr. Palacios was the one that attended me. He was both knowledgeable and caring. I was so pleased with the experience -BUT- that isn't even the best part, want to know how much the cost of the entire visit was including meds? 40 bucks!!! This place really cares about pets. They don't try to nickel and dime concerned pet parents. This is more than what I asked for! This is probably one of the best Veterinarians I've ever been to! read more

I have been going to Dr. Pausa for years. Never has the staff or vet been rude. On the contrary they truly care. I had two bull terriers that saw only Dr. Pausa from birth until they passed and when it was time to put them to sleep everyone was very understanding of the pain. (Both times) Now he treats my boxer mix. I highly recommend everyone there. read more

Small, affordable animal clinic in Hialeah/Miami Lakes area. They work on walk-ins, so making an appointment is not of importance. Both a vet and veterinary surgeon are present daily, which is great because you are able to get a second opinion directly from the surgeon without having to wait for the day of the procedure. As far as money is concerned, I had taken in both of my dogs for all of their shots, check ups, antibiotics for infected burns they received at the groomers, as well as a quote for removal of one dog's cyst, all for $190. They even waived the visit fee. I'm very satisfied, and will be taking my sheltie pup there for all his veterinary needs as well! read more

Worst vet clinic EVER! Went in for my puppies broken toe nail and was in and out by 5 minutes. They gave my puppy a shot without even explaining what it was or any side effects. And when I tried asking any questions I was told that it's all done and to pay $60!! I have no idea what kind of shot they gave my dog and her toe nail is still broken, they didn't even clean the blood off her nail!!! The vet was extremely rude and screamed out make sure to charge her extra for the shot. All they do is rob your money and don't give a crap about your pet!l this place doesn't even deserve one star! read more

The worst experience I been twice and to begin is not a clean place my First time I make a appointment to be the first one that day and Dr PAUSA Show up two hours late to the first appointment making 4 patients wait for the appointments, The two ladies at the front desk were laughing at an older lady with a cat , very disrespectful and unprofessional's because that can happen to me and to anyone , Dr pausa was not what I expect I noticed he did not like The patience to ask questions , in other words no patient , plus very expensive , my dog was dehydrated I and have to live her on a IV SO THEY TELL ME TO Come back later , because I was concerned I passed by less Than a hour later And they took it very personal like I didn't trust and no wonder my dog was in a crib with not iv , three hours later Dr pauza call me over the phone to let me know that he was offense by me going and find out my dog didn't have a Iv And also took very personal dad he got a phone call from my dog veterinarian to know how she was doing since I took it there has emergency because has diarrhea with blood early that morning I want to try him since he's close to my house because I move to this neighborhood recently . STOP there's is many others good vets if you really love your pet this is the wrong place read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Dr. Pausa has been my family vet since I can remember. So much so, that my mom used to take her dog to his father... now that we got that out of the way.... I SWEAR by Dr. Pausa and his staff... they are attentive, caring, and straight forward with the client. If you want to know something, just ask! They are always willing to help and make sure you and your pet are taken care of. Dr. Pausa has saved 4-5 dogs of our dogs in different occasions and I completely and whole-heartedly recommend him! They are affordable and thorough! Understanding and compassionate... and will never steer you in the wrong way. read more

I don't usually rate any business but when the life of someone i love (My Maltese ) it's in jeopardy i will do whatever it takes . On March 6 i took my dog to see the doctor since my dog was having leg pain they sent me home with metacam 0.5 . Today i gave her the medication she started trembling , having tachycardia , her nose was ice cold so i went straight to the their office so the dr could see her . When i got to the office the lady from front desk told me you have to wait like anyone else temblors are normal i was like are you serious my dog is having a reaction to the medication you guys gave her if we wait and something happens to her you will be responsible and she just started laughing with the other lady who works next to her . I called the police and filed a report against her and the clinic i will file a sue and will contact any department related with animal control because i wont stop until this lady is fire . IF YOU VALUE YOUR DOG'S LIVE PLEASE DONT TAKE THEM TO THIS CLINIC read more

Paradise Animal Clinic - Maltese 9 pounds 7 years old - Veterinarians Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

I took some time to write this review because I did not want to write something purely based on emotions. However, after thinking things over and analyzing everything I think it is fair to say that I made a great decision in never bringing my pets here again. I am very passionate about my pets and will do anything for them. This clinic can be extremely negligent. The vet is always in a hurry and I believe should take some more time assessing the animal. Something as truly taking a few extra seconds to auscultate a dogs heart and lungs for example could make a huge difference. I work in health care myself and always try to go the extra mile for my patients and listen to the family members thoroughly because we can learn a lot more about the situation and be proactive and perhaps be preventative. My fur baby passed away this year and I believe that god only knows when its our time to go and the same applies to animals but this clinic saw my dog in distress and simply gave medications and said she would be better the next day. Long story short my little girl passed away that same day. Negligence and perhaps lack of knowledge and dedication is what is found here. Please read these reviews they might make a huge difference. Terrible!!!!!! When I went to return the medication they didn't even give me my money back. Plus the front desk are full of incompetent people. Dr. Pausa's phrase for everything was simply "they are old dogs", which is a simple phrase to use when you don't have an answer or diagnosis. So elderly people should simply be left to die? Completely unethical. If you are going to work with animals make sure you have a heart. THIS PLACE IS THE BIGGEST PIECE FO SHIT! read more

My mother, brother, pets and myself relocated from Las Vegas Nevada to Miami, FL. About 2 weeks after our move our 3 year old Poodle "Lucy" became inactive. My mother found Paradise Animal Clinic via internet and rushed our pet Lucy to be seen by a vet. The vet that treated Lucy was named Jaima Pauza, he examined her ears, mouth and abdomen and diagnosed that she had nostagia and that in a couple days she will adjust to the Miami. I drove my mon two days later to Paradise Animal Clinis because Lucy was still sad and had vomited. Dr. Pauza gave her a shot that stop the vomiting and sent her home, the next morning my 10 year old brother found Lucy dead in her doggie bed next to his bed. If you care for the wellbeing of your pet.... I would encourage you to find a caring, knowlegable vet to take care of your pets needs. read more
