Over the years, I've been to several animal hospitals/clinics in the Miami and Coral Gables area. Miami Animal Hospital has really earned my trust and respect. Unlike other veterinary services, MIAMI ANIMAL HOSPITAL DOES NOT OVERCHARGE ITS CLIENTS! When I visit Miami Animal Hospital, I can rest easy that my dog is receiving EXCELLENT care without being overcharged.Example: I went in last week for the annual vaccines/licensing for one of my dogs. DR. STARK (always friendly and knowledgable) examined her. Most vets will tell you you need to do a pricey vaccine 'package' (regardless of your dog's actual circumstances) but not Miami Animal Hospital. For instance, since my dog isn't around other dogs much and I never take her her to groomers to leave her in boarding / accommodations, there were a couple of vaccines she doesn't need. Dr. Stark asked questions to determine my dog's needs and then told me which ones I needed and which ones I didn't. Gee, this is the first time any veterinarian has actually cared enough to do that! (I took my dog to another local vet, when Dr. Stark was on vacation and, guess what? They loaded up my bill up with unnecessary vaccines, including an $80, two-part influenza shot!). Needless to say, I'm pleasantly impressed by Dr. Stark and Miami Animal Hospital. Some veterinary clinics care more about making money than conservative assessments -- they seem to want to throw as many tests, X-rays, and vaccines as they can, to drive up the bill. Miami Animal Hospital is the only clinic in the area, in my experience, that does NOT do that.It really means a great deal to go somewhere knowing my dog/s will receive the BEST care (Dr. Stark is truly a gifted veterinarian) and that I won't be charged for tests or drugs my dogs don't need.A+++ not only for great veterinary case but for their honesty! Also, MARIA at the front desk is always terrific (she really knows her stuff!), as are the techs who are so caring with the animals. Read Less
