Biscayne Vet Center

The Biscayne Vet Center is an excellent veterinary hospital and Dr. Jimenez is a gentleman, and professional who took excellent care of our dog. While visiting Miami on a holiday weekend, our 12-year-old dog became VERY ill. I was able to reach the BVC by phone on the Sunday and also speak to Dr Jimenez directly. The doctor was very kind, asked questions, and suggested I come in ASAP. He told me the costs of the emergency visit, and some of the possible tests that might be necessary. Once there, the doctor explained the possible problem(s) with our dog, outlined his recommended tests and initial relief treatments, explained the costs of each, and also suggested keeping our dog there overnight. The next day, our dog was feeing better thanks to the overnight treatments and injections, and was able to go home with two prescriptions. The staff at the BVC who were in that morning were also very friendly and extremely helpful. The overnight stay was just $48 and each prescription was less than $20. Overall 5 star service and treatment at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Dr. Jimenez and the fantastic staff at the Biscayne Vet Center. Read Less

Dr Jimenez has been my go to Veterinarian for more than seven years. He is the best for emergencies. I have heard heartbreaking stories from people who's animals have died in emergency situations that I know could have been saved if they had only gone to Dr Jimenez at the Biscayne Veterinary Center. He is also excellent at diagnosing the health issues of an animal. I have one dog and three cats, two that would not be with me now if Dr Jimenez hadn't taken care of them. Read Less

DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE. I typically don't write reviews, but this situation warranted a review. I have a 3 lb malti-poo who was stepped on and fractured his leg. I took him afterhours to the ER and saw Dr. Jimenez. Dr. Jimenez kept him overnight to do some X-rays. He told me he would consult orthopedic specialists and we would discuss the treatment options with me the next day. The next morning, I picked him up and we went over the options. He told me inserting a plate via surgery would be too complicated to do on a dog so small. So, he said the best option was to just immobilize it with a cast and let it heal on its own. He seemed to care and know what he was talking about, so I trusted him. I should of paid attention to some of the red flags. Every time I called the clinic with a question, the receptionist would answer and tell me that someone would get back to me, but no one ever did. I would have to just keep calling until I was lucky and got a hold of him. I brought him in one week after, and then every two weeks after that. Each time they did X-rays on his leg and the vet said the bone looked like it was healing well and that there was a "95% chance that it would heal properly." I took him to see Dr. Jimenez 4 separate times. I was moving from Miami, so when I took him for his last checkup/x-rays, that's when I realized something was wrong. He told me that the bone didn't look like it was healing well--it wasn't healing straight. He advised that maybe I should go get another opinion from another vet...which he knew I was going to do anyway, because he knew I was moving. When I asked for the records of all my visits and X-rays, he was missing the X-rays and information from an entire visit. I moved back to Orlando and took him to an orthopedic specialist. They were alarmed when they saw the condition of my dog's leg. They said the fracture was NO WHERE near healing. In fact, the fracture had rotated 90 degrees. Because of the non-healing fracture, there was not enough blood supply to maintain a healthy bone, so my dog was at risk of LOSING HIS LEG if they didn't act fast. The surgeon stabilized the fracture (which had rotated 90 degrees) via an internal fixation with a small plate and bone graft to improve the chances of healing. If it wasn't for the orthopedic vet, my dog probably would've lost his leg. The surgeon didn't understand how Dr. Jimenez could have advised me the way he did--the chances of healing were almost none, especially after the second and third X-rays showing nearly no signs of healing. Also, anytime an ER vet gets a complicated fracture like that, it needs to be referred to orthopedics. I should've maybe taken my dog to other clinics for second opinions, but I really thought my little one was in good hands with Dr. Jimenez. It's really disappointing that people who devote their life to taking care of our animals can be so careless :(Even though thousands of dollars were spent, I am just so relieved that my dog's little leg is healing properly now! Thank goodness I moved from Miami, because if I hadn't...who knows what would've happened!!!Long story short, I recommend you save yourself the trouble and take your pet elsewhere. Read Less

I am not a person who usually writes a review for a company...but in this case i have no choice. I brought my puppy in with a simple case of Conjuctivitis (pink eye). First off, a 20 minute consultation cost nearly $200!! Like WHAT could possibly have cost that much? there was a $6 fee for 'disposing waste'. they literally wiped her eye with water, wiped it off, and BAM - 6$. So that was very frustrating. But whatever right, its the vet. vets are expensive. i get it. Then they give me an ointment for her eye. not eye drops, which every other vet i talked to recommended, but an ointment. But....like whatever right? what do i know? Im no vet and of course I'm going to trust what they say. So i do what the vet says. The eye gets AMAZINGLY worse. like to the point i thought she was going to lose the eye. Finally i call and tell them whats going on. At this point the vet is telling me it must be a problem with the gland and she most likely needs surgery and now she needs to go see an eye specialist blah blah blah. oh and the surgery alone will be over $600 lol. not even counting the eye specialist fee.this is when my BS senses started to tingle. So, i i stopped the ointment treatment. 2 days later, the puppy is all better. I will not be going back. Seriously people - BEWARE of this place. Highly recommend Silver Bluff Animal Clinic. Take what you will with this review. I had to say something. receptionist girls are sweethearts though :) Read Less

My experience with Dr Jimenez has been truly an unexpected heart touching one. Professional and kind, he went out of his way to help me in a very difficult moment where I had to put to sleep my two dogs. He is definitely the vet that you can trust with your furry loved-one but also a man to be proud to know. Read Less

Warning, do not let Dr. Kelly Murray care for your pet if you bring them here. I brought my dog in for a dental and left with multiple retained fractured roots. I had to take my dog to another Vet that could take dental images and Histopathology report, and what a mess. It looked like Dr. Murray had just broken off the exposed part of the tooth that she was to extract, and left half the tooth and all fractured roots inside the mouth and gum. Not just with one tooth, but all 5 teeth she felt the need to be extracted. This resulted in so much pain for my dog. Her gums were so swollen from this abuse. Although, I had taken my dog to other Vets to clean up the mess that Dr. Murray inflicted on my dog, she was never the same dog that she was before I mistakenly took to Dr. Kelly Murray at Biscayne Vet Center at 5841 Biscayne Blvd. The biggest mistake of my life. I called at 3:pm to get an update and Dr. Murray said " she was just halfway through the dental and was going to put my dog on morphine and finish up in the morning. What ? Is there a problem, is anything wrong ? I kept asking, and she just said everything was fine, I just need to finish up in the morning. No, you don't do that. you do not start a dental so late in the day that you leave the dog on morphine for the night and finish up the next day. In a cage all night, and alone halfway through a dental, OMG, really ? Well this is what she said she was going to have to do. You bet I was there the next morning. With all this pain and suffering my dog and I went through, not even to mention the thousands of dollars it took to correct this, DR. Murray never responded to my many calls. All I can say is God help the pets that fall under the care of this Dr. Murray. Read Less

I called desperate because my dog was completely disoriented and lethargic. Dr. Jimenez showed up at the clinic in less than 5 minutes of my call and took care of my dog immediately not only showing concern but with extreme care and compassion. In less than 24 hours I can say my dog is back home; alert, oriented, and completely recovered. I will be grateful forever! Read Less

Each time I've been there the doctor refers to my female puppy as a male and they are so quick to recommend the most invasive procedure without taking the time to discuss risks and benefits. I don't feel as if the vets truly care about the best interest of animals. I will not return here. Read Less

Two dogs one fecal exam, charged for two exams? Because it is tested twice was their response? I have been taking my dogs here for 6 years always excellent staff, but I was a little concerned today, did not even get a chance to speak to the Doctor to address other concerns that I had, was told to make another appointment, yet other clients walked in to see him as I departed. Time for a change. Read Less

Dr. Jimenez and their team are some of the best professionals in Miami: highly qualified team, trustful, empathic, really careful with their patiens and customers. Thanks for all your care with Salome. Shes alive and having a great second chance thanks to the care you gave her at the Center. Ill be happy to bring her back anytime shes back in town. Read Less

I owe my dog's life to Dr. Jimenez and his team.  My dog was viciously attacked at 1am last Saturday night and had major organ damage in addition to bleeding profusely.  I called Dr. Jimenez and his answering service immediately routed my call to him.  He met me at his clinic within 10 minutes, and came to my car to help bring my dog inside.  With the extensive damage, I thought for sure I would be advised to put him down, but Dr. Jimenez operates on him all through the night.  He has been extremely proactive in keeping me updated about my dogs treatment plan, and he graciously works around my work schedule  to give me time to visit with my dog even after normal business hours.He treated my other dog last year when she stepped on a bee and had a stinger embedded in her paw and I never forgot how gentle and compassionate he was to her.  He picked her up and started signing to her while petting her and she let him examine her paw even though she was in a lot of pain.I can't thank him enough! Please keep his practice in your contact list because if you ever need emergency surgery for your animal you will not find a better resource. Read Less

Big ripe offs!!!!!!!! Rescue group took in abused dog ONLY to be abused by this greedy Vet. Charged for IV catheter which was clearly not placed. Charged for special bath and Iso ward care, Only to find him running with other dogs at the Groomers next door. This dog was very contagious with ringworm. This Vet should be ashamed of him self, taking advantage of GOOD hearted people trying to save a stray dog........... Read Less

We took our basset hound here earlier in the year when he was suffering from bloat. It was a matter of minutes before he would have died. We went to see Dr. Jimenez on a whim and he did everything he could for our dog, who is still alive and healthy today. He tells it like it is without sugar-coating the situation. No one was sure he was going to make it but the hospital staff were very accommodating and they treated Odie like a king. Very pleased with this doctor and his staff. Read Less
