I've been to a number of Vets and many are great but Dr. Gordon and his staff are the best. I have traveled from Hollywood to take my pets here because they treat our fur babies with competence and heart. I am indebted to the doctor for extending my pet's life to the best of his ability and showing great compassion and sensitivity when it was time to put him to sleep. My cat Dante was never an easy patient and while I've had other vets practically sneer at him in disdain and used all kind of contraptions to hold him down, here they just knew how to handle him without raising my pet's tension and stress. The place is spotless, clean, with quick service where fur babies don't have to get stressed from the scent of other animals or having them in their face in cramped and overfilled waiting rooms. This vet is not out to just make a buck, he's there to keep your pets healthy and happy with his knowledge and skill and you can feel how he cares which to me is invaluable. Thank you Dr. Gordon for being the caring and wonderful veterinarian you are.

I am a native Floridian and have lived in Fort Lauderdale all of my life. I truly LOVE Coral Ridge Animal Hospital and I've tried many different options over the years. The staff is professional, and just as important they are kind and compassionate. Dr. Gordon offers excellent conservative care that I greatly appreciate. I've had to put several animals down there, and the comfort my family received during the process was above and beyond what we could have hoped for. I highly recommend this group for the health and well being of your pets.

There are not enough amazing things I could say about Dr. Gordon and his staff. I have been taking my dog to Coral Ridge Animal Hospital for over 10 years and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. I cannot even count all the times the team has gone above and beyond to care for my dog. Most recently my dog pulled a muscle while being groomed. I called the office on a Sunday (a day the office is closed) expecting to get a recording referring me to an emergency vet but Dr. Gordon picked up. I told him what was going on and he said to bring my dog in right away. I don't know any other vet that answers the phone on their day off and then waits 45 minutes for a patient to drive to their office just so we didn't have to go to a strange doctor in an emergency room. For the past 8 years I have lived 45 minutes from Dr. Gordon's office and I still make the commute for every checkup, vaccination and everything in between. Dr. Gordon has always provided the highest level of care and treatment and I am forever grateful for him.

Coral ridge animal hospital is for sure the best vet I have ever used. I don’t ever write reviews but when a place goes above and beyond I just felt compelled to. They treat every dog that comes in like it’s their own. Doc Gordon treats you like your old friends even the first time you meet him. They take the time to answer all your questions and never make you feel rushed. Superior care and service for sure! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else, no one is better.

I've been taking my pets to Dr. Gordon since I moved to Fort Lauderdale three years ago. I've been exceptionally happy with the expert care they've given my pets. Recently we had a sad occurrence with one pet becoming gravely ill. The ENTIRE staff and Dr. Gordon were incredibly empathetic and kind, helping me weigh all of the options. They even took the time to tell me "what to expect" in order to prepare me for a difficult situation. They love pets and they love pet-people. I can't imagine a better facility/organization or a better group of people to care for anyone's pets.

My husband and I took our pup to her semi-annual checkup with Dr. Gordon last week. There was another patient in the office with kennel cough (very contagious) so the staff held us out until another exam room was available. I felt that was very thoughtful. When we saw Dr. Gordon, he took the time to discuss our dog's meds and offer options. We have been very happy with the quality of care at this office.

This is a great clinic. Dr. Gordon is knowledgeable, down to earth, and generous with his time. The entire staff is efficient, pleasant and compassionate. The physical space itself is immaculate and calming. Costs are also fair and reasonable. I am beyond grateful for the care and empathy we received in connection with the passing of my senior dog. Shortly thereafter, my second senior dog developed a life threatening problem which Dr. Gordon recognized. He quickly referred us to a 24/7 terrific critical care facility where I believe her life will be saved. I could not ask for more from a vet clinic and highly recommend to all-- I have already referred my brother there with his dog, and he, too, came away very impressed.

It looks like a high-quality professional place. However, there wasn't much for us to like. They take your pet to the back right away, out of your sight, which is not what vets typically do. In our case, they did blood work, one of the tests/values wasn't done right, and they said they had to "run it again." We were not told until afterward that they meant drawing blood from our traumatized pet a 2nd time. We never would have approved that if we had been informed. Then, to add insult to injury, they tried to charge us extra for the 2nd blood test that they only had to do because they screwed up the first time!

My daughter Tiffany told me about this vet when i moved to Florida 3 years ago. In my 74 years of life owning a minimum of 2 dogs at a time I have used so many vets.

Also, Dr. Gordon (Doc) always goes above any beyond, providing exception care, and shows how much he truly cares about every animal to walk through the doors. 😊
I am so grateful to have found such an amazing place! They have helped me save countless dogs lives. I know when I go their my fur babies are in good hands. They are fair with their pricing and don’t try to charge you crazy amounts and do unnecessary tests. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE!!!❤️

Dr Gordon has been my Veterinarian since I moved to S. Florida over 7 years ago. Through the aging and passing of my best friend to the rigors of my rescue special friend, I've relied on Dr Gordon and his amazing staff to always be available for any question or situation. His staff is the same friendly reliable team that I met years ago. The personal, immediate response from them provides a level of comfort and stability that makes caring for my #1 priority so much easier. And he loves going to see them.

Every time I brought my cat in,Dr. Gordon knew right away what was wrong, was very authentic, caring,sincere, very good at teaching you what to do, and provided a solution thatworked, healed quickly and was least amount stressful to my cat.

I will never visit another veterinarian again besides Dr Gordon. My husband and I stumbled upon this practice 5 years ago when we moved down from Tampa FL. It was right next to our house. Our male cat was blocked with bladder stones. Dr Gordon was so friendly, explained things to us very thoroughly, treated our cat (multiple times) and would call us after our visits to check up on our cat. We eventually moved to plantation and thankfully that cat has been very healthy since. Recently our other cat declined. It turned out he had cancer in his kidney and lung. We traveled to Dr Gordon every time our cat got sick. As always, Dr Gordon always called to check on our cat KC. He even called us on Labor Day to check on him. We ended up putting our baby to sleep the day after Labor Day. Dr Gordon was so compassionate and even sent a card to our house. Stop looking now because you won't find a better vet than Dr Gordon. He really CARES about animals and he doesn't just want your money like most places.

Dr. Gordon and staff are top notch! My 13 year old Pom can be a little crotchety and Doc and his staff know how to handle him with care and patience. Not too mention his Mommy can be a little overwhelming too :) I try to be a good advocate for what I think my dog needs but they are right on board with that too. They always do what is best for my little guy and never hesitates to make decisions when they know it's what's needed. They are fair priced and are always upfront with costs and procedures. I trust them wholeheartedly and with their expertise they have extended my dog's life and given him a new quality he probably wouldn't have had at 13 years old. Our animals are our children and to find a team that feels the same way is not something you come by every day. They are further distance away from me since I moved down to Florida originally, but all the other vets I've tried that have been closer and more convenient, don't hardly compare. I would travel to the moon and back to see Dr. Gordon, there's no one better. I'm truly blessed to have them in our lives.

They have always taken their time with my babies and explained everything to me.

This was my first experience with this and it was very difficult. I was so relieved that they explained everything in advance and in detail. I was with my Buster right to the end. It was all very peaceful. They took great care of my Buster throughout his life and I Truly believe Dr. Gordon helped extend his life an extra year or two under his care.We have since adopted two more doggies from a rescue and brought them in right away so they can be under Dr Gordon's care.Thank you to Dr Gordon and staff.

I'm so thankful someone (who is in the pet boarding industry) recommended Dr. Gordon to us. Him and his staff are amazing! I had been going to a vet in the similar area for 8+ years but recently I've noticed the quality has gone down as they've gotten busier. I was skeptical to change vets but after a few careless mistakes, I had had it. I highly highly recommend Coral Ridge and I'm extremely particular as my 3 dogs are my children. Dr. Gordon recently performed a laser procedure on our Bulldog to help her breathe better. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring.

Very disappointing quality of care. My dog was a rescue, and this office did the spaying. No one there over night at all to check on post surgical pets or even those sick and under treatment. They don't tell you that, even if you ask. Also, no one called to check on my dog the day after surgery.... I have had several dogs in my lifetime, the vet always calls the next day to check on the dog, but not this office. Sad. I suggest avoiding this office, there are many other vets who care and offer far better quality of care.

when you have an older dog it seems they need a little extra care and attention. We found Dr. Gordon through Yelp and we know we made an excellent choice. They first time we met Dr. Gordon was when we first arrived in the area. Our old gal was struggling with a food change (different formulation in U.S. with regular food). We put her on a special diet and wow what a change. It was like a miracle to us. After a couple of months our gal got very sick and here we were back again. We can't stress enough how amazing Dr Gordon and his wonderful staff have been to us. We were not sure if this was the end of the road but with the extra care she received she is back on the mend. Dr. Gordon even stayed late one night to be sure she got extra fluids and one on one care. Our little girl means the world to us and we trust everyone here will always provide exceptional care.

Dr. Gordon is an exceptional and compassionate veterinarian. His staff is also fantastic, a very knowledgeable and caring team that also keeps a very clean facility. I've been bringing my dogs (boxers) to him for over 12 years and had an emergency late afternoon on New Year's Eve, as always the staff was very accommodating and said to bring him n ASAP. Dr. Gordon was able to manage him conservatively and stabilize him until the specialist was available on Monday. He spent time to explain everything in detail in a very caring manner. In addition, he called the pet emergency hospital to speak with the surgeon in case we had to go over the holiday. Dr. Gordon called me every day over the long New Years holiday to check on my dog and assess the situation. I can not thank him and his staff enough for always having the best interest of my dogs over the past 12 years. Wouldn't trust anyone else!

Doctor Gordon and his staff are all wonderful! They love our pets as much as their own. I have been going to Dr. Gordon for over 16 years some of it has been sad....but he and his staff have helped through the pain of the loss of a beloved pet. I just received a Christmas card, like every year but this one had a $25.00 Gift Certificate totally unexpected but appreciated! Thanks to all the staff and have a Wonderful Holiday! Cindy B

I am very fussy when it comes to choosing a veterinarian for my dogs. Dr. Gordon and the staff at Coral Ridge Animal Hospital provide excellent care and compassion, such as when my dog Rosie was suffering from cancer. They are always easy to reach and respond quickly to any questions or concerns I may have.

We absolutely love Dr. Arch Gordon and all the staff at Coral Ridge Animal Hospital! Everyone there is kind, loving and compassionate to the animals and their owners. Our dog and cat have had check ups, vaccines, minor issues and even surgery done there and we would not go anywhere else!
In addition, Dr. Gordon was President of the Broward County Veterinary Association and I am told, is very highly regarded by others in his profession. So not only do we think he is great, but his peers do as well!

Dr. Gordon and his staff are fantastic. Our pet basset/beagle Daisy had a mini stroke the other evening and they were able to see her the next day and diagnose and treat our old friend. The facility is clean, the administrators are lovely and the Dr.. spends time with you and explains in detail what is happening with a relaxed reassuring manner. We never felt rushed or hurried. Having moved from Atlanta recently we were referred to Coral Ridge and are thrilled to have found the right fit for us and for our 2 dogs.

I found CR via Internet as we are from NC and were unfamiliar with local vets or boarding facilities. Our GSD King was treated kindly, the staff was outstanding, the place was clean and King loved it. We are boarding him again this week. If you see the complaints from a cat owner, it was truly mistaken identity and all her problems were attributable to someone else. Joe

I was referred to Dr Gordon when my regular vet was out of town due to a family emergency. I have been bringing my dog here ever since. I was truly impressed with the office, staff and of course, Dr. Gordon. Everyone that works here seems to be truly interested in the health and well being of your animal. My cats will be coming to Dr. Gordon once they are due for their next check up. I have recommended Dr. Gordon to a friend who just moved to the area and they have thanked me a number of times for the recommendation.

I've been to a number of Vets and many are great but Dr. Gordon and his staff are the best. I have traveled from Hollywood to take my pets here because they treat our fur babies with competence and heart. I am indebted to the doctor for extending my pet's life to the best of his ability and showing great compassion and sensitivity when it was time to put him to sleep. My cat Dante was never an easy patient and while I've had other vets practically sneer at him in disdain and used all kind of contraptions to hold him down, here they just knew how to handle him without raising my pet's tension and stress. The place is spotless, clean, with quick service where fur babies don't have to get stressed from the scent of other animals or having them in their face in cramped and overfilled waiting rooms. This vet is not out to just make a buck, he's there to keep your pets healthy and happy with his knowledge and skill and you can feel how he cares which to me is invaluable. Thank you Dr. Gordon for being the caring and wonderful veterinarian you are.

I am a native Floridian and have lived in Fort Lauderdale all of my life. I truly LOVE Coral Ridge Animal Hospital and I've tried many different options over the years. The staff is professional, and just as important they are kind and compassionate. Dr. Gordon offers excellent conservative care that I greatly appreciate. I've had to put several animals down there, and the comfort my family received during the process was above and beyond what we could have hoped for. I highly recommend this group for the health and well being of your pets.

There are not enough amazing things I could say about Dr. Gordon and his staff. I have been taking my dog to Coral Ridge Animal Hospital for over 10 years and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. I cannot even count all the times the team has gone above and beyond to care for my dog. Most recently my dog pulled a muscle while being groomed. I called the office on a Sunday (a day the office is closed) expecting to get a recording referring me to an emergency vet but Dr. Gordon picked up. I told him what was going on and he said to bring my dog in right away. I don't know any other vet that answers the phone on their day off and then waits 45 minutes for a patient to drive to their office just so we didn't have to go to a strange doctor in an emergency room. For the past 8 years I have lived 45 minutes from Dr. Gordon's office and I still make the commute for every checkup, vaccination and everything in between. Dr. Gordon has always provided the highest level of care and treatment and I am forever grateful for him.

Coral ridge animal hospital is for sure the best vet I have ever used. I don’t ever write reviews but when a place goes above and beyond I just felt compelled to. They treat every dog that comes in like it’s their own. Doc Gordon treats you like your old friends even the first time you meet him. They take the time to answer all your questions and never make you feel rushed. Superior care and service for sure! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else, no one is better.

I've been taking my pets to Dr. Gordon since I moved to Fort Lauderdale three years ago. I've been exceptionally happy with the expert care they've given my pets. Recently we had a sad occurrence with one pet becoming gravely ill. The ENTIRE staff and Dr. Gordon were incredibly empathetic and kind, helping me weigh all of the options. They even took the time to tell me "what to expect" in order to prepare me for a difficult situation. They love pets and they love pet-people. I can't imagine a better facility/organization or a better group of people to care for anyone's pets.

My husband and I took our pup to her semi-annual checkup with Dr. Gordon last week. There was another patient in the office with kennel cough (very contagious) so the staff held us out until another exam room was available. I felt that was very thoughtful. When we saw Dr. Gordon, he took the time to discuss our dog's meds and offer options. We have been very happy with the quality of care at this office.

This is a great clinic. Dr. Gordon is knowledgeable, down to earth, and generous with his time. The entire staff is efficient, pleasant and compassionate. The physical space itself is immaculate and calming. Costs are also fair and reasonable. I am beyond grateful for the care and empathy we received in connection with the passing of my senior dog. Shortly thereafter, my second senior dog developed a life threatening problem which Dr. Gordon recognized. He quickly referred us to a 24/7 terrific critical care facility where I believe her life will be saved. I could not ask for more from a vet clinic and highly recommend to all-- I have already referred my brother there with his dog, and he, too, came away very impressed.

It looks like a high-quality professional place. However, there wasn't much for us to like. They take your pet to the back right away, out of your sight, which is not what vets typically do. In our case, they did blood work, one of the tests/values wasn't done right, and they said they had to "run it again." We were not told until afterward that they meant drawing blood from our traumatized pet a 2nd time. We never would have approved that if we had been informed. Then, to add insult to injury, they tried to charge us extra for the 2nd blood test that they only had to do because they screwed up the first time!

My daughter Tiffany told me about this vet when i moved to Florida 3 years ago. In my 74 years of life owning a minimum of 2 dogs at a time I have used so many vets. I have found them to be honest, reputable, reliable, forth coming, and caring. Their costs for the excellent services are more then reasonable. I would highly recommend Coral Ridge Animal Hospital for any and all veterinary needs. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

They are so kind, compassionate, and understanding. When I go there I fell more like they are part of my family with how they love and take care of my dogs and I. Their team is amazing, Lauren, Sarah, Maria, and especially Stephanie! Also, Dr. Gordon (Doc) always goes above any beyond, providing exception care, and shows how much he truly cares about every animal to walk through the doors. 😊
I am so grateful to have found such an amazing place! They have helped me save countless dogs lives. I know when I go their my fur babies are in good hands. They are fair with their pricing and don’t try to charge you crazy amounts and do unnecessary tests. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE!!!❤️

Dr Gordon has been my Veterinarian since I moved to S. Florida over 7 years ago. Through the aging and passing of my best friend to the rigors of my rescue special friend, I've relied on Dr Gordon and his amazing staff to always be available for any question or situation. His staff is the same friendly reliable team that I met years ago. The personal, immediate response from them provides a level of comfort and stability that makes caring for my #1 priority so much easier. And he loves going to see them.

Even though I have moved a little further from this vet's location, I still alwayscome to see Dr. Gordon when my cat needs medical care, had gone to couple of other vets that weren't nearly as good and skillful, in fact if I'll ever move out of South Florida, the scariest part about it would be having to worry if I'll ever find a vet as good as Dr. Gordon. Every time I brought my cat in,Dr. Gordon knew right away what was wrong, was very authentic, caring,sincere, very good at teaching you what to do, and provided a solution thatworked, healed quickly and was least amount stressful to my cat. So next time whenshe needs a vet, I know where to go, and looks like I'll be adopting couple of feralsas they are looking for a home, so hoping they can be cared for by Dr. Gordon as well.

Oh lord where do I begin. Dr Gordon, Stephanie, April and the rest of the staff are the best in Fort Lauderdale...in South Florida. My poor Waylon had some mouth issues that needed some immediate attention. Took him in. They evaluated. Made some suggestions. Found out he had some cracked teeth. A couple of growths tat needed to be removed and did a full checkup on my boy. He's 9 so he definitely needed some attention. I highly suggest Coral Ridge Animal Hospital / Dr Gordon and his amazing staff for your pets health issues. Thanks - Brad McCoy

I will never visit another veterinarian again besides Dr Gordon. My husband and I stumbled upon this practice 5 years ago when we moved down from Tampa FL. It was right next to our house. Our male cat was blocked with bladder stones. Dr Gordon was so friendly, explained things to us very thoroughly, treated our cat (multiple times) and would call us after our visits to check up on our cat. We eventually moved to plantation and thankfully that cat has been very healthy since. Recently our other cat declined. It turned out he had cancer in his kidney and lung. We traveled to Dr Gordon every time our cat got sick. As always, Dr Gordon always called to check on our cat KC. He even called us on Labor Day to check on him. We ended up putting our baby to sleep the day after Labor Day. Dr Gordon was so compassionate and even sent a card to our house. Stop looking now because you won't find a better vet than Dr Gordon. He really CARES about animals and he doesn't just want your money like most places.

Dr. Gordon and staff are top notch! My 13 year old Pom can be a little crotchety and Doc and his staff know how to handle him with care and patience. Not too mention his Mommy can be a little overwhelming too :) I try to be a good advocate for what I think my dog needs but they are right on board with that too. They always do what is best for my little guy and never hesitates to make decisions when they know it's what's needed. They are fair priced and are always upfront with costs and procedures. I trust them wholeheartedly and with their expertise they have extended my dog's life and given him a new quality he probably wouldn't have had at 13 years old. Our animals are our children and to find a team that feels the same way is not something you come by every day. They are further distance away from me since I moved down to Florida originally, but all the other vets I've tried that have been closer and more convenient, don't hardly compare. I would travel to the moon and back to see Dr. Gordon, there's no one better. I'm truly blessed to have them in our lives.

I have been going to Dr Gordon for care of my two dogs for many years. He and his staff are so gentle, kind and very reasonably priced. They have always taken their time with my babies and explained everything to me. I don't think I've ever had to sit and wait more than 3-4 minutes.It is coming up on 1 year (06/26/15) that Dr. Gordon had to help us by send our baby boy Buster over the rainbow bridge. This was my first experience with this and it was very difficult. I was so relieved that they explained everything in advance and in detail. I was with my Buster right to the end. It was all very peaceful. They took great care of my Buster throughout his life and I Truly believe Dr. Gordon helped extend his life an extra year or two under his care.We have since adopted two more doggies from a rescue and brought them in right away so they can be under Dr Gordon's care.Thank you to Dr Gordon and staff.

I'm so thankful someone (who is in the pet boarding industry) recommended Dr. Gordon to us. Him and his staff are amazing! I had been going to a vet in the similar area for 8+ years but recently I've noticed the quality has gone down as they've gotten busier. I was skeptical to change vets but after a few careless mistakes, I had had it. I highly highly recommend Coral Ridge and I'm extremely particular as my 3 dogs are my children. Dr. Gordon recently performed a laser procedure on our Bulldog to help her breathe better. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring.

Traveling with a senior pet can be challenging. Finding someone who is knowledgeable, caring and not out to over bill you is also a challenge. Our experience with Dr. Gordon and his staff was exceptional. Our old gal got very sick and we thought we were going to lose her. Dr. Gordon was amazing. He stayed after hours and made sure she had the care she needed. Changing her food also changed our lives and we now have a happy and healthy little girl. We are very, very grateful to everyone for the wonderful care we recieved.

Very disappointing quality of care. My dog was a rescue, and this office did the spaying. No one there over night at all to check on post surgical pets or even those sick and under treatment. They don't tell you that, even if you ask. Also, no one called to check on my dog the day after surgery.... I have had several dogs in my lifetime, the vet always calls the next day to check on the dog, but not this office. Sad. I suggest avoiding this office, there are many other vets who care and offer far better quality of care.

I've been looking forever for a good east side vet. I'm not big on the clinics with rotating Dr.s. I like to know who I'm seeing. I was really impressed with the service. It was easy getting an appointment and they were so good with my Dozer who is a total chicken! I meant to write a review a few weeks back when I went but forgot. Then today I got this adorable card with all of Dozers info and his picture on it! The prices were really fair. The service was great. The staff was wonderful. Finally! My brood has found its home.

when you have an older dog it seems they need a little extra care and attention. We found Dr. Gordon through Yelp and we know we made an excellent choice. They first time we met Dr. Gordon was when we first arrived in the area. Our old gal was struggling with a food change (different formulation in U.S. with regular food). We put her on a special diet and wow what a change. It was like a miracle to us. After a couple of months our gal got very sick and here we were back again. We can't stress enough how amazing Dr Gordon and his wonderful staff have been to us. We were not sure if this was the end of the road but with the extra care she received she is back on the mend. Dr. Gordon even stayed late one night to be sure she got extra fluids and one on one care. Our little girl means the world to us and we trust everyone here will always provide exceptional care.

Dr. Gordon is an exceptional and compassionate veterinarian. His staff is also fantastic, a very knowledgeable and caring team that also keeps a very clean facility. I've been bringing my dogs (boxers) to him for over 12 years and had an emergency late afternoon on New Year's Eve, as always the staff was very accommodating and said to bring him n ASAP. Dr. Gordon was able to manage him conservatively and stabilize him until the specialist was available on Monday. He spent time to explain everything in detail in a very caring manner. In addition, he called the pet emergency hospital to speak with the surgeon in case we had to go over the holiday. Dr. Gordon called me every day over the long New Years holiday to check on my dog and assess the situation. I can not thank him and his staff enough for always having the best interest of my dogs over the past 12 years. Wouldn't trust anyone else!

Doctor Gordon and his staff are all wonderful! They love our pets as much as their own. I have been going to Dr. Gordon for over 16 years some of it has been sad....but he and his staff have helped through the pain of the loss of a beloved pet. I just received a Christmas card, like every year but this one had a $25.00 Gift Certificate totally unexpected but appreciated! Thanks to all the staff and have a Wonderful Holiday! Cindy B

I am very fussy when it comes to choosing a veterinarian for my dogs. Dr. Gordon and the staff at Coral Ridge Animal Hospital provide excellent care and compassion, such as when my dog Rosie was suffering from cancer. They are always easy to reach and respond quickly to any questions or concerns I may have.

We absolutely love Dr. Arch Gordon and all the staff at Coral Ridge Animal Hospital! Everyone there is kind, loving and compassionate to the animals and their owners. Our dog and cat have had check ups, vaccines, minor issues and even surgery done there and we would not go anywhere else!
In addition, Dr. Gordon was President of the Broward County Veterinary Association and I am told, is very highly regarded by others in his profession. So not only do we think he is great, but his peers do as well!

Thank you for what you did for Shadow and her dad! Compassion is the first thing I look for in a medical professional, and now I know what vet I'm recommending in Broward <3

Dr. Gordon and his staff are fantastic. Our pet basset/beagle Daisy had a mini stroke the other evening and they were able to see her the next day and diagnose and treat our old friend. The facility is clean, the administrators are lovely and the Dr.. spends time with you and explains in detail what is happening with a relaxed reassuring manner. We never felt rushed or hurried. Having moved from Atlanta recently we were referred to Coral Ridge and are thrilled to have found the right fit for us and for our 2 dogs.

I found CR via Internet as we are from NC and were unfamiliar with local vets or boarding facilities. Our GSD King was treated kindly, the staff was outstanding, the place was clean and King loved it. We are boarding him again this week. If you see the complaints from a cat owner, it was truly mistaken identity and all her problems were attributable to someone else. Joe

I was referred to Dr Gordon when my regular vet was out of town due to a family emergency. I have been bringing my dog here ever since. I was truly impressed with the office, staff and of course, Dr. Gordon. Everyone that works here seems to be truly interested in the health and well being of your animal. My cats will be coming to Dr. Gordon once they are due for their next check up. I have recommended Dr. Gordon to a friend who just moved to the area and they have thanked me a number of times for the recommendation.

Dr Gordon is an excellent vet. He truly cares for my two English bulldogs. My oldest recently had eye surgery and his eyes are as adorable as before.
