Everyone was very kind and nice. We were from out of state, but they were able to get us in. The veterinarian was helpful and knowledgeable and took the time to explain things she was seeing with our elderly dog. Great experience and I would highly recommend them.

Wait til you bring you sick animal in. They give you a $1,500 bill and dont explain anything about your pet's true conditions because they are trying to sneak sell you Xrays. It's more of a car lot, than a vet. Don't worry Noodles is dead.

I brought my dog to get a health certificate so that I can take him to Costa Rica with me, I was not given an estimate as to how much it would cost ahead of time, when I came out of the appointment, I was given a bill of close to US$470, they took the dogs temperature and listened to the heartbeat, then they spent about 20 minutes doing paperwork, I asked to talk to the manager and she said there’s nothing she can do for me, I’m from Canada into me that’s $700 Canadian, I will never go there again , Completely took advantage of my trust.

The folks at Bayview Animal Hospital are wonderful! They are kind to us humans and compassionate with our pets. They have been caring for our pets for several years and have been patient, helpful and nice.

Highly recommend seeing Dr. Brittany Bowsher. We had to take our very fearful dog in for an urgent visit. The entire Bayview staff was wonderfully understanding, caring, and kind towards our scared and somewhat difficult dog.Dr. Bowsher spent time ensuring our dog was as comfortable as she could be and tried to make the experience as quick and painless as possible. She was knowledgeable, provided multiple treatment options, and fully transparent with all costs associated with the visit. We also loved working with nurse Mike R. who was similarly wonderful and calm with our dog. We will continue to use Bayview for our vet needs!

I have been going to Bayview for the last 8 1/2 years. I loved my vet Dr Rudd Nelson and I recommended many people over the years but since the practice was sold a few years ago it has continued to go downhill. The vets have had 100% turnover several times and it is like being in a factory no real interaction with the vets. They start by taking you into a room to speak to a technician and some have been ok, but some have no idea what they are doing. They say they are taking your pet back to weigh them etc. and then they bring them back and say the vet will be with you soon. You never see the vet examine your pet and they come in with a diagnosis without actually discussing it with you. I kept giving them another chance, but I have had enough and will never step foot into the place again. A few months ago Dr Thomas diagnosed my dog wrong, and I was back seeing another vet within a few weeks where I got his actual diagnoses but when I asked about how to manage ongoing, I was given drugs and that was it. The latest visit was a rushed in visit as my dog face was covered in blood, so I had no choice on which vet, and it was Dr Thomas again and it was a terrible experience and it felt like it was all about money. She never explains anything and when you ask questions, she acted like I should just be doing what she says. When I requested all my dog's records, I actually see that his blood tests have shown some high readings but have always been told no issues with his bloods. I have learnt a valuable lesson that you cannot trust vets, you need to get there recommendation and all the results and then decide on the best course of action. Horrible experience which I would not wish on anyone else!

I’ve been to many animal hospitals in Fort Lauderdale, pompano, Deerfield, etc. always come back to Bayview. My little dog had an accident and arbor said I had to come back with an appointment. I called Bayview and staff were waiting outside with towels to receive my injured pup. All after hours. That’s love.

We have been bringing our dog Monster to Bayview for a couple of years and always receive the best care. He used to get very anxious and scared going into his last vet, hiding behind my knees. When we bring him here, he is excited and happy to see everyone! That says so much about how well they must treat him in the back where I can't see him. I want to give a special thank you and shout out to Dr. Bowsher, Dr. Jake Seeman, and Dr. Rafael who he loves and who have treated him with such love and skill. I fully trust them 1,000% with his health and that they will go above and beyond for his comfort! Monster is a 14.5 year old beagle mix we rescued 13 years ago. In his old age he's starting to have normal old dog issues and every one of his Doctors at Bayview find a solution to make him more comfortable and healthy. We have never once left having a problem not solved or at least vastly improved. He recently had to have a scary surgery to remove a mass on his spleen that could have been a very aggressive form of cancer and without surgery would rupture endangering his life (Luckily the test came back benign and he is cured and feeling so much better now!) and he bounced back so well from his surgery we couldn't believe it. Other photos on FB groups from other dog owners all across the country who had the same surgery on their dogs showed a lot of bruising at the incision area so we expected to see that since it is considered normal, but Monster didnt have any bruising or swelling at all and it was the cleanest and prettiest surgical incision I have ever seen in my life on human or animal! Now only 2.5 weeks after surgery you can barely see the incision and he is running around with energy like a puppy! This speaks to their skills and training when it comes to the most serious things and how refined they are with the minute details in how they operate. I also want to give a shout out to all the girls at the front desk who work very hard and are always so friendly and helpful to us!! They are always great to work with for getting med refills and booking our non-anesthesia dentals (another team at Bayview who does GREAT work!!) Monster can be an anxious dog yet he gets very excited to see each of them when we walk in and they always accomodate us above and beyond! I would give 10 stars if I could! Thank you Bayview for taking such great care of our Monster!!

NEVER GOING BACK My dog has been going to Bayview for the last few years however after my last visit, I will never go back. To sum it up, I was told to needlessly euthanize my dog because he was on death's door and after a month of treatment from another vet my dog is living and doing well. I will go into more detail below. Initially I visited Bayview with my 15 year old dog about a month ago. My dog had not eaten for two days and was struggling to walk. He was seen by Dr. Thomas, Shanell. They did blood work and prescribed Gabapentin for pain. The next morning Dr. Thomas informed me the blood work revealed my dog has Kidney Disease and will need fluids. I scheduled a visit that same day and by the time I arrived to my appointment I was a complete mess because my dog was extremely lethargic and lost all motor function--which was not the case earlier in the day. They took my dog to the back then Dr. Thomas came into the room to tell me the best option is euthanasia. Her explanation was his kidneys are failing, he most likely has cancer which explains the state he is in, and given his age she recommends euthanasia. I asked Dr. Thomas if the drug she prescribed, Gabapentin, would have this affect and put him in this sedated state. At this point she had the needles to euthanize in her hands and was flopping them around as I was contemplating this decision. Her response was "there is no way he would be this sedated from the dose he was prescribed". In an attempt to give my dog every chance, I decided not to go through with euthanasia and see if the Gabapentin wore off. After I told Dr. Thomas this she responded with "Okay, just expect for him to pass away in the night". I walked out with my dog and never looked back. That night, my dog did not pass away. The Gabapentin wore off, he was no longer lethargic, or in a sedated state. I found another vet who provided treatment options. The level of care I have received at my new vet is unmatched compared to my experience at Bayview. The comparison has given me perspective and looking back I am beyond disappointed with the lack of empathy and bedside manner I received at Bayview. I went there to get my dog fluids and medical care and instead I was told to put him down. I was blindsided and there was absolutely no empathy from Dr. Thomas when delivering this horrible news. I can only speak from my experience, but Dr. Thomas inappropriately handle my case and my dog's life was subjected to her inexperience and poor decision making. I truly hope Dr. Thomas reads this and understands the affects of Gabapentin on dogs, especially dogs with Kidney Disease. I did own my research on Gabapentin and according to American Kennel Club it is reported the most common side effect is sedation and loss of coordination. My dog was drugged on Gabapentin and I almost agreed to put him down! THANK GOODNESS I walked out. My dog is living with Kidney Disease, cancer free, and alive! My dog was on his death bed at Bayview on May 16, 2023. I took this photo attached on May 21, 2023 to send as a thank you to my supportive family members during unexpected health scare. NEVER GOING BACK TO BAYVIEW.

Fantastic. Five star service and facilities, with very reasonable prices. Everyone was nice and attentive. I almost felt I no longer was in Florida, which is notorious for bad service everywhere. I absolutely recommend this place. Specifically, ask for Dr. “Bauscher?” Not sure I got the spelling of the name correctly. She’s one of those people who care for real.

Place is rubbish!! I've spent thousands of dollars for them to tell me they will not provide the prescription I have been asking for, for over a year now. when i found the name of it on my own they wanted me to do a whole other series of test / check up just for them to maybe say yes. On top of this their follow up is nonexistent. on multiple occasions I've been sent info on pets that are not mine. do your self a favor and go to SUMMERS animal hospital in Pompano she was the best doctor they had.

Our angel, a loving and smart cat named Amada, needed urgent medical attention. She had already been to another hospital due to respiratory issues but we did not realize she was far worse off than we knew.The staff here quickly assessed her and took immediate concern and brought us into the facility with Amada.We had to put our dearly beloved baby to sleep due to comorbidities putting her at risk for poor outcome. The staff showed great concern and compassion.Dr. Phillips is phenomenal. She was very professional, caring and compassionate explaining to us what was going on, how and what our options were. Thank you for everything, Dr. Phillips.In addition, their vet fees were reasonable. I would recommend this dedicated veterinarian in Broward to any cat owner.

I have had excellent experiences at Bayview Animal Hospital until today. Liz, who was answering calls, had zero empathy for an emergency question I had relaying my dog. She purposely withheld information given to her, continually hung up on me, and put me on hold until the hospital closed. A nice gentleman told me he had relayed the information to her the first time I called 30 minutes prior. I am so disappointed and hurt by this woman's lack of empathy.
