Horrible experience. Bounced from doctor to doctor. No one took the time to sit down and explain to me what was going on, but they sure did charge me for a lot of unnecessary things. They forgot to give a shot in the back and made me hold my dog in the waiting room to give the shot. Waiting room was always super chaotic. Not the best start to vet visit. They play favorites. If you’re new, I would disregard the positive reviews and just look somewhere else.

There are moments in life when compassion and humanity matter just as much as medical expertise, and Wilton Manors Animal Hospital & Premier Pet Care (both locations) delivered both in the most profound way.
On the very same day my cat, Colt, experienced a major urinary emergency, my father suffered a massive stroke, which took his life just days later. I was pulled in two impossible directions at once, and the team at Wilton Manors Animal Hospital stepped in and carried me — and my fur-baby — through it <3
Their medical care for Colt was exceptional, but what I will never forget is the love, kindness, and emotional care they showed my family and me during the worst days of my life. A very special and prominent thank-you to Rashad, who made daily calls and left voicemails updating me on Colt’s condition. He didn’t just provide clinical updates — he made sure I knew Colt was doing well, that I didn’t need to worry, and that I should focus fully on my family and my father during his stroke and passing.
That level of compassion is rare. It was genuine, steady, and deeply comforting when I needed it most.
Colt is thriving today because of this incredible team, and I will be forever grateful. This is now — without question — my forever veterinary practice for all current and future pets. I truly cannot offer higher praise or deeper thanks for the care they showed my fur-baby and my family during our loss.
From the bottom of my heart: thank you,
The Hirt Family & Colt <3

This is an excellent veterinary practice. Every visit has been a great experience, and I always feel confident my dog is receiving the best care. Dr. Jose and nurse Christina were especially wonderful during our last visit

The absolute worst place! Doctor Barbosa is so incompetent and scams people by saying he provides full exams. He spends less than a minute not even looking at your dog and rushes it off. You pay full price for it, however. The last time after his “full exam” my dog got back home with full body rash he didn’t even see! I had my dog walker bring the dog for the appointment, so she didn’t know about the rash, but after full checking my dog, Barbosa didn’t even see what will be obvious for a 2year old. He then tried to save face by prescribing some antibiotics over the phone without even knowing what the problem was (as he didn’t see it while examining the dog). It was the wrong medicine and didn’t do anything to resolve my dog’s issue!
The receptionist lady is so rude as well and super annoying, she won’t let you finish a sentence. PLEASE, NEVER BRING YOUR PETS HERE!!!! This place is a joke
