    I've been a customer here for YEARS, and ever since Banfield took over the place is completely unusable. All the vets that used to work here quit. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to have an elderly dog, to make an appointment SUPER EARLY on Banfield's own advice (so she spends as little time in the vet as possible) only to be told the wait will be FOUR HOURS to have her blood drawn. MULTIPLE TIMES this has happened. TMULTIPLE TIMES they made me wake up at 6am to drop my pet off only to tell me the wait is HOURS LONGER than they thought because they overbooked AGAIN. These people aren't even competent enough to schedule an appointment correctly.

    This place used to be amazing, but the last two years it’s gone downhill. They only do drop offs which takes hours and is not personable, I want to be in the room with my pet instead of them being locked in a cage all day. My dog has also now become afraid to go to the vet where he never was like that before. It’s stressful for a dog to be in that environment especially when they aren’t feeling well. The most frustrating part which is now why I’m going to be finding a new vet is my dog broke his toe and they took X-rays, I made an appointment at another vet for second opinion per their suggestion and called immediately for the X-ray to be emailed. When I got to the specialist appointment, I found out they never emailed them and I called right away while I was in the waiting room AT the specialist with my dog. I had to call again to be told they were working on it. Had they done what was previously requested, me, my dog, and the other vet could have had access to care much quicker and efficient.

    I just moved from NYC to Miami with my cat and my dog. Was time for the cat yearly visit my neighbors Bill and Catherine recommanded me South beach animal hospital. I brought my Gaspard yesterday and was very happy with the professionalism of Doctor Laura Szeremi she took time for his check up and then time to explain me the results of his analysis. I am very happy I finally found the perfect Vet here in the US. The whole team is nice and friendly. I highly recommand South Beach Animal Hospital

    This place is the most loving place for animal. I have three Persian kitties and the vets here have been their primary care vets since 6 years ago. AMY the office manager is such an animal lover and takes care of my kitties personally, she is always watching them in her office. Every time I take my babies in for check ups or grooms, I can hear the staff baby talking to all the pets that are in there and being boarded. The staff here truly loves animals! I think they offer pet day care services too. Reina and Laura are long term staff members there and they are always so accommodating. I live alone, and when emergencies arise, I am so grateful that I have the team at South Beach Animal hospital to rely on!

    What a fabulous experience! I was visiting the area for the weekend and my little dog got sick vomiting and lethargy. I called and got an appointment right away. The staff was so pleasant and the Doctor was very attentive and kind. My little dog can be a bit fearful and feisty. The doctor got on the floor and reassured him! Turns out it was just a stomach virus and he’s doing much better. Eventually we will be moving to the area and I’m happy I found such a nice facility!

    I am new to Miami Beach, coming from another state. I took my dog to south beach animal hospital after checking out some reviews for the area's veterinarians, and it was nothing short of wonderful. I am a very fussy pet owner, and think of my pets as my children. Usually when i take my dog in he needs to be muzzled. The vet tech came in and explained everything to me first, and then Dr. Walter came in and looked at my dog. I was amazed at the fact that the two of them were able to get a scope down my dogs ears without being muzzled. He sat there and let them do whatever they needed to do without giving them any trouble. I couldn't believe he was this good on the first visit. My dog absolutely loved both of them. These people clearly love animals, and the animals know it. I was given all the information i needed and more, and would highly recommend this vet to anyone. Great vet care is not cheap, but i didn't find it to be any higher than any of the vets we've visited in the past. If you love your animals take them here. The care is stellar, and the atmosphere is wonderful. You can trust your fur babies are under good care here. LOVE this vet clinic!

    I Love South Beach Animal Hospital! the whole team is amazing, I Have a French Bulldog, Benoit, he is 2 years old, since his first day at home (2months old) for his first check up we take him with them, Everybody is always nice and with tons of patience to explain, to take care, even by phone (specially Laura), I have no complains or negative comments at all. About pricing I don't think is expensive or overpriced, I could go to a cheaper hospital (there's always a "cheaper than the cheapest" for everything) but truth is prices are totally fair and according with the QUALITY of their service and attention, besides they offer different plans and choices to meet everyone's needs French Bulldogs are a very special and delicate breed, Benoit keeps growing very happy, playful and healthy with them, therefore as an "overprotective" mother, I am very happy and satisfied with them as well. I totally recommend South Beach Animal Hospital, and hope they keep up the amazing job they do. UPDATE: Benoit is 5 years old and he is still a loyal patient of South Beach Animal Hospital!

    This is where I've taken my dog Lucas for the past 6 years. They are the absolute best hospital. The staff is friendly and love their patients. Doctors are knowledgeable and caring. This is the pet hospital to use if you are in the area. :)

    We just moved to Miami and can't live in our home bec. construction repairs not finished. So we kenneled our 73 lb. dog for what we thought would be a week and is turning into 1 month. He loves the place. When we come to visit he is in the front office with the staff and jumps up on the counter to greet us and everyone else who comes to pick up their dog! It puts a smile on everyone's face to be greeted by a dog instead of a person at an Animal hospital--common sense. The staff is fantastic and the doctors r tops. This is all in comparison to our former Vet. in California who came from UC Davis (he was also excellent). The staff also noted my dog was drinking a lot so the doctor ran some tests for safety sake and got back to me quickly. Fortunately, it's just new climate. P,S, I just came down with something flu like and went to an urgent care. I would say Butters is in better hands.
