Dadeland Animal Hospital

I have to edit my last review, unfortunately. Daisy, our lively spirited rat terrier girl, started decreasing in terms of her functionality. On December 29^th 2015 she began to act strange and refuse to eat and barely walk– which was very unusual for her– she was a very active lady. I rushed her to Dadeland Animal Hospital since this is was her regular vet. The doctor was «running late» and after I waited for a while, the staff asked us if we wanted to drop her off and I agreed only because I had to go in to work and could not miss. Later on that day, my boyfriend told me that Dr. Pereira had contacted him and told him that Daisy had heart issues but it could be managed with medication he was going to prescribe. I was relieved to hear a bit of news that seemed hopeful at the time. I went on my lunch break to pick Daisy up and I saw Dr. Pereira. He showed me Daisy’s x-​ray and explained to me how her heart was much too big for it to be a normal size and was working too hard. He explained to me that she did not have much time left and told me she might not even make it through the night. He said the medicine might help but apart from that, there was nothing else to do. I agreed and tried the medication anyway. However, it was very odd to see how he had told my boyfriend that she could be saved and then told me she couldn’t. Two vastly conflicting views. Later that night, Daisy went into cardiac arrest and passed away. We rushed her to the pet emergency room and they advised us that she was already in a coma and it would be best for us to let her go. It was the worst night of my life. One of the most heartbreaking experiences I have ever endured. I know Daisy lived a long, healthy, beautiful life but I can’t help but doubt the integrity of Dr. Pereira. Why would he tell us two different opinions? Did he really do all he could? A huge part of me feels that he KNEW Daisy would not make it through the night but advised treatment and medication only so the hospital could get our money. An experienced vet would have known if the dog would make it or not– could have at least been honest with me instead of putting my hopes up and then being completely heartbroken. I feel that if Dr. McGivor had been there, she would have been honest with us and would have understood that as much as it would hurt us, we would have appreciated knowing the truth from the start. She has seen our Daisy before and has been nothing but amazing with her. I had a previous experience with Dr. Pereira when I took my cat Lulu and the vet who saw my cat failed to see her for the main reason I took her there which was for her stomatitis. I was trying to explain that to Dr. Pereira over the phone and he kept interrupting me and went as far as to hang up on me. Long story short– I was told to do tests for my cat which proved what I already KNEW and failed to give me any information on her Stomatitis. Dr. Pereira is extremely rude and seems two faced to me. I will never utilize his services again and if Dr. McGivor reads this– I have been trying to reach you and would like to speak to you about Daisy. Honesty is all we asked for and we did not get it. Even the front desk staff seemed ashamed when they were handing us all the bills. Please hire doctors that can keep their clientele and integrity.

First time having a kitten. The doctor said she had some infection common to adopted cats and prescribed a medicine that cost me $ 40. I later found out that the drug is only a few bucks at pet stores.

Got an appointment there for my new puppy and the guy on the phone was very nice, explained all the services they offer, etc. We got there and the place is OK. A little run down and it’s not very clean. We waited two hours to see the Dr. While we waited, the assistants did some routine tests to my puppy dog without explaining what they were doing. I was about to leave because of the long wait and the Dr finally showed up. He didn’t even introduced himself, i find that very unprofessional, he just asked me why i was there and he started preparing some kind of shot the dog needed without telling me anything about it. When I asked him questions, he didn’t answer and seemed bothered with my questions and left the room. Never saw him again. He never ask anything about the dog. TERRIBLE bedside manners. NEVER going back there. What a dissapointment.

Dr. MacIvor and her staff are passionate about caring for your fur babies. Reasonable pricing and a very wide variety of services including boarding and grooming. The doc even offered to see my ferret when his exotics vet failed to correctly diagnose and treat his seizures. Dr. MacIvor helped get his symptoms under control in just one visit and I can’t thank her enough.

I brought my dog here after having being scammed at another vet to continue the follow up from the procedure that was done. Dr. Macgivor took such good care of my dog and me! She and her staff are amazing! Very generous and really care about your animals! I have read the other reviews and I am shocked because she’s been amazing to me even when she didn’t have to be! She didn’t have to take on my case being that initial treatment was provided by another vet! I absolutely love her and will continue to have my animals seen by her!

Dadeland Animal Hospital far exceeded my expectations! The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and organized (hard to come by here in Miami!). The vet, Dr. Sharon McIvor was sweet, caring and informative. She took her time with each one of my cats (I have four!) by giving personalized attention. She is now my official vet and will continue to be for my pets!

Well what can I say, I brought my cat here for grooming and shots was very disappointed with the grooming and service that was provided. The girls there are VERY nice Dr. M should really learn how to treat her employees and customers none the less, she was very rude and rushed and to top it off my cats grooming looked like my 4 year old could of done it– PLUS MY CAT SEEMED TERRIFIED and was very skittish for a few days after! never again will I bring my pet here–

Great hours. Good prices. Great package deal for annual visits. The boarding area seems nice. Friendly staff.
Can be very slow though because it is a small clinic with only one vet. Don’t go on a Saturday if you can help it. The front desk needs help, the turnover there is fairly rapid.
The vet does provide good attention for emergency cases.
Everyone I have met in the waiting room has had great things to say about her.
