Do not go here!!! They are gouging people with prices. Our cat became extremely ill with a urinary blockage. They are the closest emergency clinic. If I would read these reviews, I would have driven to Hollywood Animal Hospital. We were quoted a price range from $1520-$1820, that if our cat needed surgery. After 2 days and no surgery, the price was $1610.00. Then, you have to pay 50% up front or no service. All our cat received was a catheter and an IV for hydration. After 2 days and $1610.00 bill, I was told by Vet that the price was without surgery to remove the blockage if necessary! So, what, $3000.00! The office did not care about the objection to the price. They hammer you with charges and $200 a day to keep the cat in the Clinic. I had to get my cat out today, otherwise they would have hit the $1820 limit! I believe that is their intention...to deliberately max out the price. AVOID THEM!!!!! more

This is the worst animal hospital ever! they have no heart or passion for your animal. all they care about is money, they can careless if they save an animals life! their employees have no heart as the one told me ""if we saved every animal we would be out of business"" really! a few years ago i took my own cat to this place when he was sick. they made him ever sicker and almost killed him and charged me crazy high prices! i then had to rush him to another hospital were they saved him! i must say they charged me half the price too! now last night i witnessed a cat get hit by a car! the animal lover i am picked the cat up and rushed it to the hospital, sad i had to take it here but i had no were else to go. they didnt care about the animal at all! they were really fast to just kill and and now they are trying to charge me for the bill! it was not my cat nor was i the one that hit the cat! all i was trying to do was the right thing and give the cat a chance. if it wasnt for me the cat would of just laid there probably got hit by more cars and eaten by bugs! i will be sure to let my friends and family know to NEVER bring their animal here. you ask around cooper city alot of people will say the same things im saying. THIS IS A HEARTLESS ANIMAL HOSPITAL AND THEY WILL KILL YOUR PET WITHOUT TRYING TO HELP IT! more

I have used them 2 times in 'after-hour' cases only because I live very close (within 5 minutes). Now called Animal Medical Center-- Veterinarian Specialists of South Florida (VSSF). They take a great deal of time coming up with VERY expensive options and then you 'decide' how much you want to spend. . They also have you in an emergengcy situation and milk it for all it is worth. Money is their first concern, not your pet. The first posters fee of $6500 says it all. Recently had to take my cat for care after my regular vet had closed--decided to skip VSSF. It wasn't a dire emergency so I drove 20 minutes to another emergency animal hospital where the care was excellent and in this instance the fees were very reasonable. more

My cat suddenly lost balance and walked wobbly, like she was drunk. I rushed her to the office. There was no wait, on a Monday around 5 PM. I had taken other cats there for emergencies and was always seen promptly. My only concern is I saw a new dr who graduated a few months ago. After ruling out the basic tests/blood work she thought the cat had a brain tumor or cancer. Later that night it dawned on me that inner ear infections can cause these symptoms so I called her. She agreed. My concern is she never examined the ears which seems odd since in medicine it's common knowledge that balance can either be brain or ear trouble. She automatically went to brain, regardless of the fact the cat had black, smelly ear discharge. My fear is that if I had not been in medicine myself this diagnosis would have been missed, time wasted, symptoms worse, expense higher. Pros: specialists on staff Cons: expense, occasional new doctor left unchecked more

My canine needed very expensive surgery to remove bladder stones. I understand now that a $2,000 bill for this type of procedure is fairly overpriced. My surgeon, Dr. Aronsohn, failed to notify me that urninary tests were required two to four weeks after the procedure to ensure that the stones would not form again. Now, the stones have returned and my poor dog must be operated upon again. There is a dietary supplement that can prevent the stones' return, but again I was not given this information. It seems to me that salesmanship takes precedence over good veterinary care. We probably all feel that money is no object when caring for our companions, but a little foresight and compassion on a doctor's part can save you money and heartache in the long run. On top of all of this, the surgeon has ignored numerous requests to return my phone calls. I think you would be better served in choosing a different location. Pros: comfortable waiting room. Cons: Poor location, expensive, forgetful more

Since hospital changed mgmt from Cooper City Animal Hospital, the wait is horrendous and the front office personnel are terrible. Pros: good vets Cons: front desk personnel, wait time more
