Every month, I have trouble getting my dog’s medication, even though it should be a simple process. The problem always seems to happen when Alex isn’t there — she’s the only one who knows how to handle it smoothly.
Additionally, the level of courtesy and communication from some of the staff has been disappointing. They don’t explain things clearly, and it feels like customer service isn’t a priority.
I’d really appreciate it if this issue could be addressed so that future visits go more smoothly.

Ridiculously expensive and not useful at all! Took my hamspter who clearly had a skin infection 3 months ago, paid over 250dlls for medicine and “check up”… didn’t get better and didn’t care… now I need to put her to sleep to avoid more pain, and they want to charge 243dlls for that?!!!! And they say they would “wave” deposit fee of 100+ Dlls?!!! Please find another exotic pet vet…

When I took my cat Gordie for the first time to VCA I felt the care the whole staff have for the animals. It’s on difficult situations when we are in pain that we really appreciate the support and sympathy. Thank you for the care and support when I needed the most.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about VCA South Dade Animal Hospital and especially Dr. Torres. From the moment I walked in, I felt that my bird was in the best possible hands. Dr. Torres is not only incredibly knowledgeable about avian care, but he also has such a gentle and patient way of handling birds that immediately puts both the pet and owner at ease.
It’s rare to find a veterinarian who truly understands birds, and Dr. Torres goes above and beyond every single time. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, answers all questions with care, and makes sure I leave feeling confident about my bird’s health. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and deeply cares for his patients.
The entire staff at VCA South Dade is professional, kind, and welcoming, making visits smooth and stress-free. I am so grateful to have found a place where my feathered family member is treated with such exceptional skill and compassion.
If you’re looking for the very best avian veterinarian, I highly recommend Dr. Torres and the team at VCA South Dade Animal Hospital—they are simply amazing!
