Liah, for my pets, has been an invaluable care giver; she has exceptional technical knowledge and a special caring heart, always willing to help my cat ( and dog) and to offer me, my pet's mom, kindness. It is rare to have both in one veterinary nurse/ technician, especially in emergency and life- threatening situations. In addition to her superb work and dedication at Thrive, i had the same interactions with Liah at Dixie Animal Hospital, my everyday veterinarian. - previous place of Liah's employment and where i first met her more than 10 years ago. Wherever Liah works, she is an exceptional asset, smart, kind, caring. Sincerely, Lorraine Dunlop

We first started interacting with Dr. Marta Sanchez years ago when she was an associate at another…read moreveterinary office, and we were so impressed with her work that we followed her when she got her own place here in South Miami. Dr. Sanchez and her staff seem to be very knowledgeable and competent in general canine medicine, but she also has special training in rehabilitation after injuries. She also has training, experience and knowledge of accupuncture, which one of our dogs benefited from. One of our dachshunds was injured falling off of a bed, and lost the use of her hind legs. She had spinal surgery to repair the damage, and with the help of Animal Health & Rehabs services, including the use of an aquatic treadmill, she completely recovered. That same dog tore the ACL tendon in her knee, and after surgery and healing, she didn't want to use that leg. With Dr. Sanchez' help and advice to us for rehab excercises we could do with the dog at home, she completely recovered the use of that leg. The specialists that she has referred us to have been excellent. We are not price-comparison shoppers when it comes to our pets' health, so I cannot speak to affordability for you. I cannot emphasize enough how nice everyone is, and how much they seem to *care* about their patients and the owners. My wife and I have some training in biology and chemistry, and they are very cooperative with our questions about drugs, diseases, etc. related to our pets. Highly recommended.

My 13 year old Yorkie suddenly developed itchy red skin and severe hair loss. I took her to a vet…read moreand he misdiagnosed her with ringworm based solely on the fact that she glowed green under the woods light. The next two vets said it was allergies and gave her pills. She improved from the damage done by fungal treatments (the first vet didn't understand why the ringworm wasn't going away) but by the time I found Dr Sanchez, she was in sorry shape and I was a wreck with worry. Dr Sanchez did blood work and other tests to rule out internal causes. She took time to explain about allergies and even though I had Googled allergies, she put it all into perspective for me. We did an ultrasound, and another blood test to see what she is allergic to. The lab is making a pill based on this info to de-sensitize her. During each step of this process, Dr Sanchez discussed with me whether I wanted to do the next step. No pressure, just information and options. We feed chloe special food and keep her out of the grass. She is bathed regularly in medicated shampoo and leave-on rinse. Her quality of life is much improved. If you have an older pet or one with health issues, Dr Sanchez is the perfect choice. I would also recommend her for routine visits.

Leo was bit by a large dog on a walk in the neighborhood and suffered multiple bite wounds. Over the last 3 months, Leo has been a daily visitor. He had multiple surgical procedures and daily bandage changes, as well as numerous prescriptions. He had little to no appetite which was coupled with a persistent fever. I'm happy to say that after some real touch-and-go periods, Leo seems to have turned the corner and is on his was to recovery. The care my family and I received from not just one, but the entire team at the clinic, goes well beyond what I look for as "good customer service". They all truly care. Dr Diaz and Dr Acevedo have built an amazing team. The care for Leo and the support for our family has been a special experience that we will always remember. Thank you to everyone at South Miami Vets and Pets!!!

A Decade of Love and Outstanding Care: Candy Petit's Forever Vet Family…read more For over 10 years, my precious Chihuahua, Candy Petit, has been under the care of Dr. Maria, Enrique, and the extraordinary team at this veterinary clinic--and I can honestly say, there is no other place I would ever trust with her life, health, and happiness. From the very first visit, it was clear this wasn't just a clinic--it was a sanctuary of compassion, excellence, and genuine love for animals. Candy has always been treated not just as a patient, but as a cherished member of their extended family. Dr. Maria's deep expertise and intuitive approach to diagnosis and treatment consistently leave me in awe. She doesn't just treat symptoms; she thinks ahead, anticipating every possible complication, and taking every measure to ensure Candy stays safe, healthy, and strong. Enrique, with his calming presence and meticulous care, is equally incredible. Whether it's administering medication, preparing for procedures, or just offering comfort during stressful moments, he goes above and beyond. The entire staff radiates kindness and professionalism, always welcoming us with warm smiles and open hearts. I've never once felt rushed or overlooked; they take their time, explain everything in detail, and make sure I leave feeling confident and reassured. But what truly sets this clinic apart is the love. You can feel it in every interaction--from the way they greet Candy by name, to the gentle way they handle her, to the follow-up calls just to check how she's doing. They remember every little detail, and it's that personal, human touch that means the world to me. Candy is not just surviving thanks to them--she's thriving. At 4.5 pounds, she may be small, but she has a mighty spirit, and that spirit has been nurtured, protected, and celebrated by her vet family every step of the way. To Dr. Maria, Enrique, and every single member of the team: thank you for a decade of trust, loyalty, and exceptional care. You are more than Candy's veterinarians--you are her healers, her protectors, and our family. We are forever grateful. With all our hearts, Candy Petit & her human

Dr. Vicente Torres and the assistant were both super friendly, knowledgeable, and had quite the bedside manner. He even trimmed her nails for free while I was explaining the issue. Prices were on par considering the issue and I love the open communication with my paid invoices being sent to me plus the VCA app on my phone. Looking forward to our next check-up visit!

Dr Harris is a great, caring vet, and excellent with birds. He is very patient and give us time to ask all the questions we want, and explain things in detail. He is also very fair with his prices. Honestly he could have recommended some medicine, supplement, special feed, test or whatever and I would have gladly forked over my money, but he didn't, because that's not needed. He just told us to what kind of change to make in the diet. The service of his clinic (South Dade) is impressive too. One time my bird was sick over the weekend. On Sunday the hospital was closed but I went to the online portal to request an appt, along w a long description of my bird's symptoms.
