I took my dog ​​Hanna to Emeral Hills Animal Hospital in a very serious clinical condition, she was diagnosed with Pyometra, her condition was so serious that she did not react to any stimulus, the infection was huge and her condition was delicate. We were received and contained by a group of wonderful people with dedication, professionalism, knowledge and their love for animals make it possible for miracles to happen and this was the case of Hanna. These are angels on earth who brought Hanna back to me by wagging their tail. I want to thank Dr. Tapper for everything that he did for save Hannas life, without him this would not have been possible and Mrs. Isela, an excellent human being, with a lot of patience to answer every phone call (thousands of calls), containing my concerns with great sweetness and professionalism. I extremely recommend Emeral Hills Animal Hospital and all their staff. Thank you with all my heart for all that you do. Read Less

Dr. Tapper and his staff are wonderful!  They are all genuinely concerned about my pets' welfare and have always given the best care possible to my dogs over the years.  We take our dogs there for grooming also and Ian is by far the best groomer we have gone to!  My dogs get so excited when they see him!   He does such a good job with them and we get many compliment on how nice their cuts are.  I would not hesitate to recommend Emerald Hills Animal Hospital to anyone.

We've been going here for at least 16 years and wouldn't take our animals anywhere else.  Very personal, caring service, great office staff.  I completely trust Dr. Tapper, which is important to me because my pets are pretty much my "kids"!  They have an awesome groomer, Ian, who is incredibly patient and does beautiful work.  He was so sensitive and caring with my 17-year-old yorkie, even after other groomers didn't want to deal with her issues.

Well I can go on about how bad this place is but to put it short I took my dog there Dr. tapper he shows no interest in the animal, my dog tried to say hi to him he completely ignored her and mind you I have the sweetest dog OK next I take my dog to Ian to get groomed and I told him how nervous she was and he tells me no she's not nervous you're nervous which got me really upset because I was not nervous and she is very afraid and nervous of grooming and he later found that out.. he kept her there for four hours and after four hours I called and said I would like to come pick her up and he said no it will be later in the afternoon I have to take my time with her I wasn't interested in my dog being in a cage so I went to pick her up and he started screaming at me the guy has no patience he couldn't even explain something to me he just kept raising his voice and talking to me nasty and I stayed calm and I should have known not to bring her there because the week before I took my dog there to show him how I like my dog groomed and he was really rude and he kept putting me down and telling me that I need to calm down mind you I was very calm. He just projects everything on to other people anyway while I left he tells me good luck with your next Groomrr I said you know you're very rude he goes I don't care in the nastiest voice I recorded our conversation and if any of you would like to hear it let me know because this man should not be grooming animals he has no heart and my dog looks like a frog right now she's super uneven and looks like a mess. Her ear cut is two very noticeable sizes this guy has no clue how to groom. Wow what a nasty person he needs a new job that has nothing to do with animals. Yeah so basically we're never going back there and my neighbor and friend up the road said she stopped going there as well so I'm starting to catch on. This place is bad and nobody should be going there Read Less

I was to pick up on Saturday.. as a new patient I did not realize the office closed at 1:00pm on Saturday (Hollywood is open late on Saturday).I was running errands on my only day off.. I called to make sure meds were ready and realized that at 12:55 I only had 5 minutes to get there..after pleading my case, I said I could be there by 1:10-1:15 at the latest.. could someone please make an exception and wait for me..??? The answer was “NO”...needles to say.. I am very upset...the reason I left the other veterinarian office was because of lack of personal care and empathy.. Read Less

Great staff, even greater doctors. I came here after making the decision of switching to a new vet a couple of years back after a bad experience with our previous vet. Well, I’m glad because we found Dr. Tapper, Dr. Dan and their team. Special thank you to Dr. Tapper for being very considerate and genuine. He is very down to earth guy and you can tell that he truly does care for his clients. My dog got old and developed an aggressive tumor, Dr. Tapper was very considerate and other than his best clinical judgment he offered his honest opinion. His suggestions helped my family and I make the right decision and we thank him for it. Although it was extremely hard, we decided to let our beloved pup of 15yrs go. Dr. Tapper explained all possible outcomes throughly and took much consideration in doing so. Thank you Dr. Tapper. Read Less

Dr. Tapper and the team told me to bring my 4 year old cat, Frankie, right in and drop him off when he suddenly took ill. He wasn't eating, drinking or going to the bathroom and I could tell he felt warm.

I won't have the actual test results in until tomorrow, but my boy is already feeling better and is eating now, too. I can't say enough about how quickly and competently they handled Frankie's case.

Dr. Tapper is the BEST!!! My precious angel Onyx was bleeding internally and was on deaths door on November 11, 2015. Dr. Tapper rushed in to saved his life. The surgery was a rough one and Onyx wasn't recovering very quickly. That week we had to go to see Dr. Tapper everyday. He had to get shots and we had to keep an eye on it. The next 2 weeks we had to go ever other day. Him and his team were so wonderful the whole time!!! He didn't even charge for all those days. They really did seem to CARE about his wellbeing and knew my finances weren't the best in the world, being a server that just had to pay thousands of dollars on a surgery to save my baby. This day and age it's hard to find a vet that you can really trust and that cares. Dr. Tapper is both!!!!! Everyday we came in the whole team was excited to see how much better Onyx was doing. Friendly faces that truly cared!! I am very grateful and thankful to the whole team and highly recommend them!!! Onyx has to get another surgery (this time on his spleen) in a few weeks and I know he is gonna be in good hands!! Read Less

I've been coming here for over 20 years Dr. Tapper is absolutely amazing words cannot express how I feel about him as a veterinarian and person. This is a place where you're not another number and you get what you pay for. If you want the best care for your animal this is where you need to go. My shitzu Gizmo lasted 19 years and one month to the day for the simple fact that Dr. Tapper is amazing and I didn't sacrifice to keep his health up including full bloodwork and dental cleaning annually with your normal vaccinations. The other veterinarians that work there are also cut from the same cloth as their leader. My American Staffordshire terrier Myah Is 12 years old and very healthy almost like a puppy despite the light aging because of the care of Emerald Hills Animal Hospitol. They're not cheap but they're not expensive the health of your animal shouldn't be sacrificed to save a buck if you can afford it. This is not the place that's going to tell you to do surgery if they don't feel there's going to be a positive result. I could go on and on and on but I think I've said enough if you go anywhere else that's up to you. Read Less

My 11 year old Golden Retriever went in for a routine teeth cleaning and a tooth extraction when Dr. Tapper noticed her abdomen did not concave when she was on the exam table.

I had several great experiences here. I have 2 cats and the one thing I liked was an entrance into the waiting room for cats only. Dogs are on the other side. It's quiet and efficient. No waiting time in a room full of animals. Clean. Timely appointments. Dr. Tapper and his staff are just wonderful.

No long drawn out drama. For her, it was dignified and humane and for me, massive tears, of course, but an understanding staff. I highly recommend Dr. Tapper and this Animal Hospital.

I just moved into the neighborhood and a couple of months ago brought home an American Eskimo puppy. I chose this vet simply out of convenience (they are less than a 1/4 mile from my house), but the staff has been great. They are quite a bit more expensive than other vets in the area, so I wouldn't choose them if budgeting is of major concern, however they are easy to make appointments with, are always very friendly and the premises are spotless. The vets are friendly and my dog loves them. It did cost me around $500 for the full series of puppy shots, rabies tag and flu vaccination, so keep that in mind. I have not been here for a regular visit, so I'm not sure how much they charge. I would rate them higher if the costs weren't so expensive! Read Less

I have to say I am thrilled with the work of this vet.   I have a rescue dog, and have had her for about two months or so, and the vet has here healthy and happy.   Each time I have walked int he door, except on the initial visit, the staff has known my dog, not always me, but always the dog.  Though, like most dogs, mine is nervous when we arrive, the staff goes out of their way to comfort not only her, but me as well.  When she was spade a couple weeks ago, they let her stay in her crate while she waited and recovered, they just put it in the larger cage they keep most dogs in.  I was glad, because my dog loves that crate and it is her favorite place when she is afraid, so I am sure that it helped calm her.  They always call after surgery, or shots within a day to make sure the dog is still doing well, and when she was there to be spade, I was called through the day for updates.The entire place is spotless, it is not over powered with pet dander, and there is a discount if you  tell them that your dog is a rescue dog, but it does not seem to be a set discount, just a break on some of the prices.I will happily continue to use this vet for all of my dog's needs throughout her life, or my stay in south Florida.

I took my dog ​​Hanna to Emeral Hills Animal Hospital in a very serious clinical condition, she was diagnosed with Pyometra, her condition was so serious that she did not react to any stimulus, the infection was huge and her condition was delicate. We were received and contained by a group of wonderful people with dedication, professionalism, knowledge and their love for animals make it possible for miracles to happen and this was the case of Hanna. These are angels on earth who brought Hanna back to me by wagging their tail. I want to thank Dr. Tapper for everything that he did for save Hannas life, without him this would not have been possible and Mrs. Isela, an excellent human being, with a lot of patience to answer every phone call (thousands of calls), containing my concerns with great sweetness and professionalism. I extremely recommend Emeral Hills Animal Hospital and all their staff. Thank you with all my heart for all that you do. Read Less

Well I can go on about how bad this place is but to put it short I took my dog there Dr. tapper he shows no interest in the animal, my dog tried to say hi to him he completely ignored her and mind you I have the sweetest dog OK next I take my dog to Ian to get groomed and I told him how nervous she was and he tells me no she's not nervous you're nervous which got me really upset because I was not nervous and she is very afraid and nervous of grooming and he later found that out.. he kept her there for four hours and after four hours I called and said I would like to come pick her up and he said no it will be later in the afternoon I have to take my time with her I wasn't interested in my dog being in a cage so I went to pick her up and he started screaming at me the guy has no patience he couldn't even explain something to me he just kept raising his voice and talking to me nasty and I stayed calm and I should have known not to bring her there because the week before I took my dog there to show him how I like my dog groomed and he was really rude and he kept putting me down and telling me that I need to calm down mind you I was very calm. He just projects everything on to other people anyway while I left he tells me good luck with your next Groomrr I said you know you're very rude he goes I don't care in the nastiest voice I recorded our conversation and if any of you would like to hear it let me know because this man should not be grooming animals he has no heart and my dog looks like a frog right now she's super uneven and looks like a mess. Her ear cut is two very noticeable sizes this guy has no clue how to groom. Wow what a nasty person he needs a new job that has nothing to do with animals. Yeah so basically we're never going back there and my neighbor and friend up the road said she stopped going there as well so I'm starting to catch on. This place is bad and nobody should be going there Read Less

Great staff, even greater doctors. I came here after making the decision of switching to a new vet a couple of years back after a bad experience with our previous vet. Well, I’m glad because we found Dr. Tapper, Dr. Dan and their team. Special thank you to Dr. Tapper for being very considerate and genuine. He is very down to earth guy and you can tell that he truly does care for his clients. My dog got old and developed an aggressive tumor, Dr. Tapper was very considerate and other than his best clinical judgment he offered his honest opinion. His suggestions helped my family and I make the right decision and we thank him for it. Although it was extremely hard, we decided to let our beloved pup of 15yrs go. Dr. Tapper explained all possible outcomes throughly and took much consideration in doing so. Thank you Dr. Tapper. Read Less

Dr. Tapper is the BEST!!! My precious angel Onyx was bleeding internally and was on deaths door on November 11, 2015. Dr. Tapper rushed in to saved his life. The surgery was a rough one and Onyx wasn't recovering very quickly. That week we had to go to see Dr. Tapper everyday. He had to get shots and we had to keep an eye on it. The next 2 weeks we had to go ever other day. Him and his team were so wonderful the whole time!!! He didn't even charge for all those days. They really did seem to CARE about his wellbeing and knew my finances weren't the best in the world, being a server that just had to pay thousands of dollars on a surgery to save my baby. This day and age it's hard to find a vet that you can really trust and that cares. Dr. Tapper is both!!!!! Everyday we came in the whole team was excited to see how much better Onyx was doing. Friendly faces that truly cared!! I am very grateful and thankful to the whole team and highly recommend them!!!

I've been coming here for over 20 years Dr. Tapper is absolutely amazing words cannot express how I feel about him as a veterinarian and person. This is a place where you're not another number and you get what you pay for. If you want the best care for your animal this is where you need to go. My shitzu Gizmo lasted 19 years and one month to the day for the simple fact that Dr. Tapper is amazing and I didn't sacrifice to keep his health up including full bloodwork and dental cleaning annually with your normal vaccinations. The other veterinarians that work there are also cut from the same cloth as their leader. My American Staffordshire terrier Myah Is 12 years old and very healthy almost like a puppy despite the light aging because of the care of Emerald Hills Animal Hospitol. They're not cheap but they're not expensive the health of your animal shouldn't be sacrificed to save a buck if you can afford it. This is not the place that's going to tell you to do surgery if they don't feel there's going to be a positive result. I could go on and on and on but I think I've said enough if you go anywhere else that's up to you. Read Less

I just moved into the neighborhood and a couple of months ago brought home an American Eskimo puppy. I chose this vet simply out of convenience (they are less than a 1/4 mile from my house), but the staff has been great. They are quite a bit more expensive than other vets in the area, so I wouldn't choose them if budgeting is of major concern, however they are easy to make appointments with, are always very friendly and the premises are spotless. The vets are friendly and my dog loves them. It did cost me around $500 for the full series of puppy shots, rabies tag and flu vaccination, so keep that in mind. I have not been here for a regular visit, so I'm not sure how much they charge. I would rate them higher if the costs weren't so expensive! Read Less

I have to say I am thrilled with the work of this vet.   I have a rescue dog, and have had her for about two months or so, and the vet has here healthy and happy.   Each time I have walked int he door, except on the initial visit, the staff has known my dog, not always me, but always the dog.  Though, like most dogs, mine is nervous when we arrive, the staff goes out of their way to comfort not only her, but me as well.  When she was spade a couple weeks ago, they let her stay in her crate while she waited and recovered, they just put it in the larger cage they keep most dogs in.  I was glad, because my dog loves that crate and it is her favorite place when she is afraid, so I am sure that it helped calm her.  They always call after surgery, or shots within a day to make sure the dog is still doing well, and when she was there to be spade, I was called through the day for updates.The entire place is spotless, it is not over powered with pet dander, and there is a discount if you  tell them that your dog is a rescue dog, but it does not seem to be a set discount, just a break on some of the prices.I will happily continue to use this vet for all of my dog's needs throughout her life, or my stay in south Florida.
