    Thank you for helping animals when they need it. Not just cats and dogs like other places. Everyone was so respectful. Thank you for helping sweet Macy the rat to rest in peace. You guys are real heroes!! all animals deserve respect, go vegan

    The doctor and nurse were very knowledgeable and explained everything well. Everyone we interacted with were friendly and caring and put me at ease during a very frightening situation for both me and my dog. They even brought him a comfy bed to rest in while getting his treatment. They went above and beyond for us.

    My dog was sedated for treatment. The team who took care of her on December 24th around 1 am was excellent!

    The team the night I took my dog for urgent care was excellent. Everyone from the front desk (I didn't get her name), the nurse (Sheenan, I think her name is but not sure), and the veterinarian were perfect. I was greeted and talked to patiently during check in. The nurse was fast, a total pro, super helpful as she also noticed my dog's overgrown nails, she did so much in just half an hour. The veterinarian is so nice, thorough, very kind, comforting, and calming. Having this team made me feel calm that my dog is in great hands. It's very much appreciated, especially during the stressful holiday season. Thank you to all three who were awesome in every way and for taking great care of my dog. I wish every vet visit can be this great!

    Ruby says thank you!

    A few months ago, my dog ingested 40,000 mg of ibuprofen. This is over three times the lethal amount for a dog her size and 40 times the amount that would cause G.I. damage, my dog typically weighs 50 pounds but dropped down to only 36 pounds when this incident happened now a few months later she's up to 47 pounds! thanks to VEG my dog is now only experiencing very mild kidney damage and on track to making a full recovery! I only found out that she ingested this medication a few days after the fact, as she was being Pet sit by somebody and I was not aware, I went into VEG 3 days after the initial ingestion they worked with my financial limitations and we're very patient and understanding they explain things very in depth and truly do care about the dogs they see I have never experienced such a positive environment when taking my dog to a vet they demonstrate amazing sympathy and I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you VEG boynton for helping my dog pull off this miracle!

    The morning we were able to have Billy back home! Thank you!

    They were so caring to our dog and us!! From the moment we walked in the door in the middle of the night. They took us straight back and started his care. They involved us every step of the way. They let us visit as long as we wanted. If we weren't there, they would call and text to update us. We never had to wonder how it was going or if there was a good time to visit. We were welcome at any time. Even watching them care for a big emergency that came in while we were there. They comfort the dog and owner equally. Everything about the care of our animal and us was amazing! We are so thankful to everyone there!!

    This is Merlin in his prime

They do specialized testing in different areas according to the pet's needs. Both of the visits have been informative and pleasant.

    I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with VCA Animal Hospital…read more Although the outcome for my cat, Dirk (passed away on 3/15/26), was not what I had hoped for, I truly appreciate the level of care, compassion, and professionalism both teams showed throughout the process. From the very beginning, they made sure not only that Dirk was being cared for, but that I was supported as well during a very difficult time. Every interaction felt thoughtful and genuine. The staff took the time to answer questions, walk me through options, and ensure I felt informed and not alone in the decisions I had to make. What meant the most to me, though, was what happened after. I received (handwritten) signed condolence cards from their staff. That small but meaningful gesture spoke volumes about the kind of people they are. It showed that they truly care - not just about the pets they treat, but about the families who love them. Even though this was an incredibly hard experience, I'm grateful that Dirk and I were surrounded by people who treated us with such kindness and respect. Thank you for taking care of him, and for taking care of me.

    I had a very frustrating and disappointing experience at Pet Emergency and Referral Center…read more I came in specifically because my primary vet does not have a CT scan machine, and my 80 lb dog has a growth on his chest that needed imaging. When I checked in, I clearly explained that I was there for a CT scan. The younger staff member at the front desk was polite and checked me in without issue. After waiting, I was seen by Dr. Jessica Martin. She checked my dog's vitals and examined the mass, then confirmed that he would need a CT scan--which is exactly what my primary vet had already told me, and the reason I came in. However, she then informed me that their CT machine cannot accommodate a dog of my size and recommended I go elsewhere. This was extremely frustrating, as it could have been addressed before I was checked in, given that I clearly stated my reason for visiting. The situation became worse at checkout. I was told I needed to pay for the visit, which I questioned since I came in for a CT scan that could not be performed. The younger front desk staff member understood my concern, but another employee, Gretchen, intervened. During the discussion, Gretchen told me that I had not said I needed a CT scan when I checked in, and even stated that if I had said that, it would be a different situation regarding the bill. At that point, the staff member who originally checked me in overheard and confirmed that I did clearly say I needed a CT scan. Despite this, Gretchen immediately reversed course and stated that it didn't matter, that a consultation was done, and that payment was still required. This contradiction was frustrating and made the interaction feel dismissive and unfair. While a brief exam was performed, it ultimately resulted in the same conclusion I already had, without providing the service I came in for. Better communication upfront could have avoided this entire situation. I also want to specifically note the conduct of Gretchen at the front desk. Her tone was dismissive and argumentative, and her inconsistent statements during the interaction only added to the frustration. This reflects poorly on the professionalism and customer care at this facility. I would not recommend this location based on my experience.

    This is our second visit in my beloved Service dog's life. It was discovered on Aug 8 (over 3…read moremonths ago) my dog has Hemangiosarcoma cancer. Living in NC we were able to get her enrolled in the Yale Canine Cancer trial. We drove to Richmond VA several times for those special vaccine treatments and needed to find an Oncologist in FL who would work with us. This has been a scary tightrope of hope in this long road to goodbye to my best life partner. I sent the other DVM files ahead of time so PERC could be prepared but wasn't expecting they would've actually thoroughly reviewed and checked all that. It was volumes! From the moment I walked in the very talented and skilled Nicole greeted me in a private room with my dog. Today, our second visit to thoroughly update the ultrasounds and X-rays, I could t help but cry with relief that Nicole is thoroughly familiar with the volumes of documentation and my dog's particular case. This is such a hard struggle to do by myself, but I truly feel the team of Dr. Zaidi and Nicole mean my dog is in the caring hands of people who are as concerned about her as I am. We hope to be able to continue for the entire season with this wonderful Specialty Veterinarian Practice. They remember the details of complicated cases and they truly care with compassion for the humans as well. Most highly recommended ! I'm so glad we discovered this board certified Dr Bushra Zaidi and her excellent facility in here South Florida.

    If you are considering using this animal hospital for even a goldfish, please do yourself a favor…read moreand DO NOT. dr. Netzly, the "veterinarian", is not only unprofessional, rude, petulant, and unsavory, he is a consummate liar. I made an appointment to simply have a rabies shot given to my beloved dog. When I saw that I was five minutes late for her appointment, I called the office and communicated the fact that I would be a bit late for the appointment. I arrived exactly twelve minutes late for the appointment. This "dr" stated in a response to my review that I was 40 minutes late. A lie! And later in the appointment he told me that I was too stupid to find his offices. FACT I assume that my Ph.D. is not ample educationally for his belittling, his rudeness and his unprofessionalism in his less than modern, uncomfortable and shabby offices. I brought Sophia into the tiny examination room with a muzzle that I requested as I know that she doesn't like to be prodded and needled. I held her and this "dr" entered the room, without a hello, without introducing himself to me and asked me if I was holding her. I stated to him that I was. He said to me, and I quote, "I heard that bullshit comment before." I stood up and calmly asked him not to speak to me in that manner. He looked at me in the same manner that Sophia looks at me quizzically! I should have left at that time as I realized his negative energy and attitude was from being twelve minutes late, but I didn't. So I said let's just do this and be done with it. I grabbed Sophia around the chest and secured her muzzled head while he injected her. Somehow she then managed to wriggle backward out of the muzzle and my grip and, unfortunately, bit the "dr" on his wrist. He became inconsolable and began yelling to the vet tech to call the humane society that my shepherd mix was a vicious dog. I pleaded with him to please reconsider, that I was so sorry that she had reacted that way but he was resolute (not realizing at that point that this would be considered an occupational hazard). Then I told him that I was a Vietnam Veteran and to please give her a break for my sake. His response, and I quote, was, "I don't give a shit who you are or what you did." Sophia never bit anyone, prior to this incident and the only report on her was her off of the leash. Another lie by this 'dr'. It is my humble opinion that he should seriously consider retirement before he inflicts his negative emotions, his nasty attitude, his ramshackle offices and his unprofessionalism on another unfortunate, unprepared animal and owner.

    If you care about your animal, do not go to this hospital. They do not care about your animals…read more They just asked for more money over and over again for a bill that mysteriously increases each time they see you and cannot give you a reason why they are increasing the price from the original quote. if you have senior in your family, do not take them there they especially pray on the elderly.

    Unreliable, Dishonest, and Lacking Compassion - Look Elsewhere…read more I am extremely disappointed with the care my dog received from Dr. Buchelar. In December, I was told that if I couldn't keep my dog calm, I should call, and they would prescribe something else. Now, four months later, when I reached out for help, I was suddenly told to take my dog elsewhere instead of receiving the care I was assured would be available. To make matters worse, my primary vet won't step in because the cardiologist is managing his treatment. Meanwhile, my dog is in heart failure with less than six months to live, and I'm left scrambling for support that should have been there. Adding insult to injury, when I called to speak to the doctor, his nurse lied and said he wasn't there--despite the receptionist telling me he was with a patient. Instead of addressing my concerns directly, he chose to send an email instead of calling me, avoiding a real conversation when my dog's health is at stake. I tried to call Emily the manager and she also chose not to return my calls. This experience has been frustrating, disheartening, and completely unprofessional. If you want a cardiologist who is honest, reliable, and truly cares about your pet, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

From our first…read moreconsultation through surgery, he was knowledgeable, compassionate, and took the time to explain his findings and recommendations. Rocky's surgery was successful, and his recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. We are incredibly grateful for Dr. Sherman's skill and the excellent care he provided. Unfortunately, our experience with the administrative side of the practice was very different. We encountered repeated problems with the handling of Rocky's Trupanion insurance claim, which added unnecessary stress during an already difficult time. While we were still at the hospital, we received Trupanion's pre-approval showing an additional $800 deductible because the claim had been submitted using a diagnosis of a splenic mass. We had never been told Rocky had a splenic mass. Since Rocky's medical issues began with pancreatitis and related complications, I immediately asked the office to clarify Rocky's medical history with Trupanion. Instead, Trupanion later informed me they had simply been told that I wanted the diagnosis changed to pancreatitis. As a result, we had to prepare and submit the appeal ourselves, and the appeal was ultimately approved. We were also surprised to receive an additional consultation charge when another doctor joined our appointment. We understood and expected the consultation fee for Dr. Sherman, but we were not informed that speaking with the second doctor would result in another consultation fee. Better communication about that charge would have been appreciated. Despite these administrative frustrations, I would not hesitate to trust Dr. Sherman with any of my pets again. His expertise and surgical care were exceptional, and thanks to him, Rocky is well on the road to recovery. My hope is that the practice improves its communication and administrative processes so that every client receives an experience that matches the outstanding quality of Dr. Sherman's medical care.

    I guarantee you they will kill your pet. The reviews here are true…read more ACCESS failed my pet and they will fail yours too. My cat had CKD and was treated very well at VEG. Then I took her to Access for additional care as a primary and they were difficult. Her values worsted at ACCESS. They inserted a feeding tube in her and when I slowly became aware of their unhygienic practices (caged pets, urine in blankets unchanged for 2-3 days, food in water bowl, difficult front desk staff) I immediately wrote a negative review for people out there. They immediately shut off all care for my cat including all prescription medications as a way to punish my cat to send a strong response to my negative review. They delayed releasing medical records so no other emergency vet could immediately treat her and no primary could prescribe her medications in time. She was in critical condition when they abruptly cut of service. They left me without feeding syringe to take home and give food through the tube. I had to go to an emergency to get tubes and meds. I contacted many hospitals across Florida and they were not shocked about Access as they are aware of them being difficult. Her condition got worse and so I took her back to VEG and they ran blood work. Turns out my cat had astronomically high values for white blood cells and very low platelets. Access did not run the full blood work to catch any of this. She got internal bleeding and sever infection from being at Access cages and overall poor / unsanitary conditions. Her blood work was never done to catch any of this. They only ran 2-3 values while ignoring full comprehensive care. Her blood work looked great on the 26th of April when she left VEG and just within a month of care at Access she was as good as gone. Plateles so low that additional testing at other clinics would put her at risk for more clots and bleeding. I assure you that no care is better care than Access. Please carefully review all negative reviews for a full perspective. They flag and delete negative reviews so you can imagine the volume of negative experiences people are actually having and aren't being reported.
