Veterinarians near Tamarac, FL

“Always love coming here with my pets. Great atmosphere, kind staff and they hold the utmost professionalism. I can only imagine working with peoples pets and mostly their owners can be very difficult. Not all hero's wear capes. Thank you Dr. Darko and staff for taking care of my family.”

“Love everyone here! I was a little nervous to take my 12 year old Frenchie because he can get very nervous but everyone made us feel comfortable and welcome. We never felt pressured to do any type of treatment and they really listened to our concerns & found solutions to combat them. My pup left there calm & happy. Thank you for caring Quad City Animal Clinic!!”

“Great experience from start to finish, I brought my 15lb Cavachon to the Plantation location for teeth cleaning, able to save $50 instead of house visit. Our dog is a little anxious at vet, groomer, told she was shaking a little at first at HealthySmiles, but able to control well with towel wrap and able to complete teeth cleaning safely. Debrief at the end was excellent, Natalia took her time to show before/after pictures and some pictures during cleaning. She explained plaque/tartar buildup and how to brush teeth at home and prevent buildup in the future. They told me that we can consider calming treats or sedating oral medication in the future visits, but our dog did great. Highly recommended! :)”

“Riverside animal hospital has alway provided the highest level of care for my animal- have been coming here for years! Doctors and staff are very attentive and helpful with any questions! Love it here”

“First time here and I think they may have a customer for life! The young lady that made the appt was accommodating and professional, the young lady that greeted us was equally nice, the vet tech or nurse that brought us back was thorough and patient and Dr Hammer was AMAZING! He didn't rush me, he listened, he did a thorough physical exam, he didn't try to sell me unnecessary products, services or up charge anything...I don't know what more I could've asked for. Thank you from the front to the back!”

“Dr. Berrios is an exceptional veterinarian. He treats and follows up to reassure us at all times, 7 days a week. His entire team is very empathetic. Our little dog had to be hospitalized for pancreatitis. She was treated with great care. I have no hesitation in recommending this veterinary hospital.”

“I was referred to her by my regular vet because my dog had a slap fracture and another tooth was missing. I met dr Mcmorran I must say she's extremely personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. She was very sweet with my dog and made me feel very at ease with the procedure that she would need. I also met Ivana and she was very friendly and kind.”

“I had to dogs that I need to surrender I had no where to take them to be able to keep them so I had to call around to get them to a shelter I called around no help I call animal aid and right away they said bring them in so I did and they were there with open arms this was the hardest thing I had to do cause I had them for years but they are in a better place now praying that they will get adopted to a family that can take care of the them and love them thanks for animal aid”

“I had a good experience with Ramblewood Animal Hospital. The people were pleasant and accommodating. I thank them for taking care of my cat while I was traveling. The vet was friendly and easy to talk to. I would bring my cat there again.”

“Five stars all the way! Top notch on every level. Dr Brandon is remarkable and the tech John was equally fabulous!!!!! So glad I started going here ?? so are my dogs ?”

“Dr. Sands is a fantastic vet! I have two senior pets where he puts their well being first. He’s not one to push vaccines that are not necessary on senior pets, which I greatly appreciate. I also use the kennel services for my Great Dane. I receive daily updates with pictures.”

“I've been going to Brookside Animal Hospital for 10 years. They're amazing and take good care of my dog Sansa. She just had surgery and they took great care of her. Dr. Martinez and all the staff friendly and I trust them. I moved 45 minutes away and still go to Brookside Animal Hospital. I won't go anywhere else! I HIGHLY recommend them! Holly”

“Everyone was amazing from Mike Stephanie and both Doctors Dr Swinger and ColemanWe are so thankful we received above and beyond care for our chico they showed so much kindness and You can see they love what they do and care for our pets!”

“Great Experience with Nine Lives Cat Hospital and Dr Sam Frank. He took care of my new kitty, did all the tests and neutered him. Very knowledgable, professional and caring Doctor. His office staff is very nice too, they called me after my cat had his surgery to check on his well-being. I would recommend Dr Frank to my family and friends, he is very caring and attentive doctor.”

“Dr. Jesse was the first person to give me hope and answers after years of spending time & money trying to help diagnose my dog’s nerve issues. I only wish I found her sooner. The fact that she sets up her entire exam with your dog by operating on their level - the floor - was such a lightbulb moment. My dog hated going to the vet but she was so comfortable with Dr. Jesse after her first appointment. Your animal will be in loving & experienced hands!”

“I love this clinic, it has excellent quality and service!! Veterinarian Dra Parede is very attentive, I really like her work and her entire team, they are all wonderful ?”

“We are so grateful to Dr Newman and his team! I found my dog Jax on the street three years ago and when we brought him to the vet we found out he had a very advanced case of heart worm. Our Jax got the treatment with Dr Newman and he has fully recovered. The office was there with us every step of the way. They love and cared for Jax while he had to stay over for monitoring like he was their own. Since then Jax has lived a happy and healthy life being heart worm free. Unfortunately Jax recently suffered from a seizure unrelated to his heart worm. The office was wonderful they stayed on the phone with me and they made time to immediately see him and luckily his vitals are good. I highly recommend Dr Newman. He has a vast knowledge and he has such a wonderful way with his patients. I have been to other vets and they feel like an assembly line. Here it feels like you are part of the family.”

“Dr T cares so much about all the patients and I am so happy to have my dogs in her care whether it’s when an issue arises or for a wellness exam. She really takes the time to explain things to you. The staff is also amazing and so kind.”

“I haven't actually been to this practice but Dr Lera at Heron Lakes Animal came up on a google search for doctors that do stem cell therapy on dogs. I called the office and made an appointment for a consultation about my old 5 lb yorkie with a heart condition that had torn her acl. She isn't really a good candidate for surgery with anesthesia and being a stem cell patient myself thought this might work for my dog as well. Dr Lera called me himself that evening to explain how stem cell on dogs works and also the cost involved which he agrees is outrageous!! He was kind and understanding and very informative. I appreciated that he was caring and courteous enough to call me that same evening. If circumstances were different, I might have proceeded with the appointment. But he took his time after hours to save me my time and energy to bring my dog in. I would recommend giving this doctor a try.”

“The Garbizo's are wonderful! My dog has historically hated going to the vet but they have created a very friendly environment that helps put her mind at ease.”

I absolutely love this vet practice. I'm sad that Dr. Billhartz is no longer with Southport, however the rest of the amazing staff still is! My girl Gracie ABSOLUTELY LOVEEESSSS going to the vet! TRUST ME, her past vet records at another practice in Georgia tells a completely different story. Dr. Marlar is INCREDIBLE and her entire team is INCREDIBLE! I trust Murray with my babies more than I have ever trusted any other vet tech ever. He has an amazing way with the animals. Murray is amazing and so are the other vet techs there, as well. Everyone in that office genuinely cares deeply about the animals and their best wellbeing. The reception team is truly underrated! - even though everyone comments on how sweet and kind they are I don't feel those words describe them good enough - they are hands down the absolute best! They are soooooooo thoughtful, welcoming, helpful, funny and loving toward every animal that walks through their doors! I can't say enough great things about Southport but I feel that the fact that I felt the need to provide 3 reviews/updates should speak volumes. I absolutely recommend this vet practice 100%. I thank them for everything they've done for me and my beloved pets.

100% GREAT experience on 10/05/2022 - Lived in Fort Myers and when hurricane Ian hit and the entire swfl area lost power, all of the vet offices were closed and lost a lot of their medications. My 15yr old guy was needing his Cytopoint shot and Southport Animal Hospital did not hesitate when I called them and explained our circumstance and asked if they could help and give William his shot - they said no problem. We drove 2 hrs, walked in and within 15 mins we were out the door with William receiving his shot. They were so warm and welcoming and empathetic.
...
Now, fast forward to today - I permanently move to Fort Lauderdale and am in need of a vet for a new dog I adopted and my cat. Guess who I immediately call. You bet, Southport Animal Hospital! And let me tell you, with my new dog, Gracie, she has a history of aggression at her old vet office (her previous family made sure I had all of her records) ....so needless to say, I was so apprehensive about how her vet visit would go. So far, she has been to Southport Animal Hospital twice and saw Dr. Billhartz (LOVE HER!) and Dr. Bufalieri (LOVE HIM!) and both times Gracie walked out of the office confident and happy!!!! She loves loves loves Heather, Liz, and the whole reception team! And she loves Murray and all the techs!! I feel 100% confident that she is going to be taken care of properly with love, kindness and understanding of her fear issues. This office is such a blessing to me and Dr. Billhartz who is chief in command is just kindness and love. And the rest of her team reflect that. Amazing people in this office. Loving, kind and thoughtful people in this office. I'm so grateful for them all.”

“I have to say they are extraordinary! They take time and pour good energy into every situation. Miss Salty is difficult at the vet and they treat her so awesome and deeply care, I love them all but Mariah (Tech) and Dr. Snieder (Doc) are the absolute best!”

“After visiting several veterinarians in Coconut Creek we finally found one that knows what they are doing and cares for our dog, like we do. Our senior puppy has been struggling with itchy skin for years. We also get some sort of concoction for medicine and shampoo but never an answer. The staff was very knowledgeable and recommended some allergy testing so we could come up with a long term solution to proactively address the issue. Thank you to the friendly and knowledgeable staff at this hospital. Looking forward to many more visits where short and long term solutions are given.”

“Nothing! I move to Naples four years ago and I still travel to Welleby you guys are excellent . I have a Vet walking distance from my current home and I won’t use them.”

“I love this place! Very professional. The staff was great with handling my fearful bulldog. The doctor was wonderful! I will be bringing my other three dogs to this practice. Highly recommend!”

“My family is so greatful for Dr. Z and his staff. Their compassion and care for our labrador Jake who fought and loss his life to cancer. To their current care for our second fur baby Destiny a calico kitty who is fighting kidney disease. Dr. Z priority is always the comfort and health of our fur babies. Their quality care, efficiency, knowledge and top notch veterinary medicine is what makes them the best in South Florida.”

“Excellent experience. On time. Gentle with my dog. Fairly priced. The doctor explained his condition was normal aging and that his sight was 95% clear even with the cloudy appearance. No meds and no surgery was required!!”

“On our first visit we fell in love with all the service and information they provided us. Alejandra was the one who served us and we loved it ?❤️Thanks for everything ???”

“Where do i start…well my dog had an injury to his eye by a groomer. And when I noticed my dog kept closing and squinting his eye I called his normal vet and they told me they couldn’t see him until Monday (this was a Friday afternoon) the groomer did take responsibility and was able to book an appointment here at Animal Health Center at Weston the next morning even with them being packed on a Saturday morning. I am extremely grateful we were able to come to an amazing doctor as they could’ve not prioritize my dog and saw him when it was convenient. I greatly apologize I don’t remember the young lady’s name at the front desk but she was awesome in setting this up for me and communicating back and forth between myself and the groomer to get this squared away. She is very kind and patient with every person that walked through the door. Being as she was my first point of contact and first impression of the office before setting foot there, I felt she gave an outstanding representation of what the rest of the staff showed me and my dog… doctors and medical assistants alike. The doctor and carefully diagnosed the issue with his eye and gave me a very imformative treatment plan for him and followed up with the doctor in about one week. And while my little 15lb dog wasn’t too receptive to having drops in his eyes every 4-6 hrs lol I saw dramatic improvements day to day. So this review is not only the shed just a little bit of light on such an amazing facility and staff for others to help use when choosing a vet but to also say thank you publicly as I did in the office. So for anyone on the fence about which vet to choose…I encourage you to give them a shot as they are awesome with you and your pet.”

“I brought my dog Maxx to see Dr John, he gave him a full examination. Maxx couldn't jump up on the couch where he liked to look out the window.. Dr John prescribed an antiinflammatory medication.. which worked very well. Maxx was his old self within two weeks. I can't say enough about Sunrise Animal Hospital.. the Doctor really cares about his patients and treats them with loving care, he's personable, professional and knowledgeable.. the staff is friendly and helpful.. I highly recommend taking your pet there... I will never go anywhere else.. a fantastic experience”
