Pines West Animal Hospital

I loved the front office folks and the Vet on staff. The Veterinarian was knowledgeable, personable and friendly. They didn’t rob me financially, and followed up with a greeting card welcoming me to the area and to their clinic. I’ll definitely be back.

I’ve been using Pines West & Dr. Meacham for almost 20 years now and I would never take my animals to see any other vet. Dr. Berg & Dr. Ramirez are both very knowledgeable and I feel comfortable seeing either one of them when Dr. Meacham is not there. Contrary to one of the other reviews, the office manager has always been a pleasure to deal with, very polite and helpful. I have several animals which means I visit the vet quite often and have seen my share of nut jobs (customers) there. All of the vets there consider the animals well being to be the main priority.

Great office hours. Friendly staff. Very clean. Friendly and patient doctors.

I use to feel this was a 5 star facility until I brought my six year old cat in for her annual vaccines, one of which is leukemia. So why all of a sudden are they pushing me into a boos test ($ 65) for leukemia of which she has no symptoms and was tested for as a kitten? I asked them point blank I come here year after year and all of a sudden they are pushing for an unnecessary test that they said isn’t required but try and may me feel like I’m not a good pet parent. My cat has never missed a checkup or vaccination. She’s loved and adored. I also noticed the bill seemed much higher and I asked to see lasts years receipt but was told they can only tell me what she had done, no prices. I don’t mind higher prices to subsidize their long hours but please don’t try and sell me a service or make my pet go under an unnecessary procedure just to make more money. Shame on you pines west

We’ve been using Pines West for a little over a year now, after moving to the area from the west coast. We’ve seen all the doctors there and Dr. Berg has been our favorite. (Note: there’s a visiting vet there every other weekend… name escapes me… but he’s awesome, too!) If you’re a long time pet owner, you understand the convenience of extended hours (evenings and weekends) and the added availability of an onsite groomer. The vet techs have all been great, as well. I usually wait until the last minute to reorder daily prescriptions for my dog and luckily they’ve always bailed me out of my own procrastination. They’ve recently separated the dog and cat entrance and upgraded their office.
Only con is they don’t accept Care Credit.

Appointments when you need them! They handle emergencies like pros. Really care about your pet! A+

This review is solely based on the professionalism of the office manager/​account specialist. The Drs and vet techs have been lovely and helpful. It’s sad to see a place with great potential be tainted because of a person who has a power trip, rude, unhelpful, and demeaning! What ever happened to professionalism and working with the customer? Especially for a problem the drs had seen before? I would really recommend the owner hiring a new office manager.

Awesome vets. Affordable prices. Wouldn’t trust my pet with anyone else.

Dr. Carmona is the best! He have such great care to our Maltese dog, Alex. Sadly the time came when we had to put Alex down and Dr. Carmona was there for us and our kids, every step of the way. The entire team at Pines West Animal Hospital are top notch!

Went there for the first time yesterday based on the positive Unilocal reviews and wnot disappointed. Just moved here from Germany so needed to find a new vet for our puppies. This is a nerve wracking experience. You want to make sure your puppies are cared for by a vet and their staff as you would care for them. Called and made a same day appointment for our Lab with ear infection issues and decided to get our pointer mix in too for a check up and initial meet and great. Dr Meacham was phenomenal. She ohhed and aweed over our lab and even made friends with our introverted mix. She understood the reason for brining Sammy in even though there were no issues. Great service from the front desk staff and techs. There was an intern working from the local college and I think it is great that this practice is a teaching facility. Highly recommend!

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful the staff and Doctor Meacham are at Pines West. Dr. Meacham was so absolutely amazing taking care of my cat Raven and her kittens. She truly went above and beyond in caring for this little family, and how much she cares about the animals shows in her work. All of the staff were so incredibly friendly as well, always smiling when I walked in, and very courteous and pleasant. I would not hesitate one minute recommending Dr. Meacham and her office to anyone.

Extremely happy with this find from Unilocal!I had Dr. Berg who was very knowledgeable, kind, and receptive. The prices were on point and the service from the girls at the front was attentive. The waiting time was minuscule at best and the atmosphere was professional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The veterinarians; Drs. Berg, Carmona, and Meacham and their professional and personable staff have earned and continue to uphold exemplary status. My cat crew, darling pup, and non-​furry family are most grateful to this exceptional team for promoting and insuring (13 years +) the swag in our wag! The expert and personal attention shown to both myself and the pets who own me is remarkable. This, and the fact that our pup never leaves an appointment sans an «in your face» lick to a welcoming smile (albeit along with some nervous excrement upon entering the clean establishment) is evidence of the excellent care so generously and consistently given. When an emergent situation involving our pup transpired (OK., if you must know, he ate a bed) Dr. Berg ascertained a need to refer us to another facility. Both Dr. Berg and Dr. Carmona demonstrated their involvement in his treatment by DAILY phone calls with the specialists and me… atypical and unparalled. Many times the calls were to offer reassurance and comfort. The impetus behind their actions assert how integral our pets well-​being is to our own. My only regret is that these wonderful doctors are unable to accept us «two-​legged» beings as patients. This fact and our profound gratitude for them says it all.

Great vets! Good prices
Good office hours and good service

I don’t think there are enough ways to say how awesome this clinic is! My family has been seeing Dr. Meacham long before this clinic was opened and now that I have my own dogs there’s no where else I would consider sending them. I live in Gainesville and I would much rather make the drive than see another vet! Everyone that works there is exceptionally polite and nice and I can’t imagine ever seeing another vet!

Excellent service. Good prices.

Dr. Carmona is the best. He’s very attentive to detail and excellent at follow-​up care. I am very particular about who I will allow to manage my dog’s care, and it was obvious from when I first met him that he is an excellent veterinarian. He’s highly focused and attends to things that other vets seem to miss, and is very human and compassionate in his manner of handling his patients’ «parents.» I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dr. Berg gets 8 THUMBS up from our family! Wonderful Doctor; Very Human! Our twinkee and summer LOVE HIM and so do we!

Dr. Meacham has been awesome with my husband’s dogs in the past, and now that we have one of our own, of course she’ll be going to Dr. Meacham — she deserves the best care! :-)
We visited Pines West when we adopted a dog, just to have her checked up and make sure that she’s okay, and just recently, we had her spayed. The hospital’s customer service is outstanding — they make you feel welcomed and put you at ease. Their service on the phone is great as well — if the doctor is not in at the time, the staff ensures that the doctor receives the message and they call back within the next few hours — which is sad that I can’t say the same about my primary doctor’s office!

I followed Dr. Berg from the Miami Lakes office he use to work at to Pembroke Pines and he has been my vet for 28 years. That time alone should be a pretty good indication of what an exceptional vet and person he is. it’s rare to find a place that you trust to care for your pets which are extensions of your family. I have referred many people to them and they have all had great experiences. Throughout the years I have had numerous trips to the vets with my 7 pets and the staff has always been fantastic, from Jennifer at the front desk all the way to Dr. Meacham and Dr. Berg. I’m so torn every time I call to make an appointment when I have to pick who to see… Dr. Berg or Dr. Meacham. I love them both and their love for animals is evident.
