I am pleased to announce the reviews about this clinic are accurate! I wanted a friendly vet closer to my home in the grove and read how great this clinic was on Nextdoor app.  The vet that took care of my Brittany was Dr Johnson.  She and her assistant were very friendly and didn't try to over sell me with options like almost every vet.   The actual office is also very nice. Think hippy dippy pet retreat.  Check this place out, u won't be disappointed. Read Less

From the moment my wife and I started bringing our first puppy here, we were treated with nothing but compassion. The level of service these doctors and staff provide is comparable to no other. We actually ENJOY bringing our pet in for checkups. I could go on and on about the incredible environment and genuine love every employee there has for animals, but the epitome of why we love The Silver Bluff Animal Clinic can be summarized by our experience last night:My wife and I took our six month old puppy to the beach for the first time and he unfortunately swallowed a couple mouthfuls of sand. He was acting a little lethargic and we were concerned. We took our dog to the closest E.R. because it was Sunday evening and we had no other option. We were told our dog was desperately in need of an overnight plan and we were given an extremely large bill for multiple services. While my wife and I were panicking and, frankly, having emotional breakdowns, we shot various concerned emails to The Silver Bluff Animal Clinic. Please keep in mind, this was a Sunday evening and we had absolutely no expectation that those emails would be answered until the following day. We were just terrified and desperate. Within the hour, Doctor Sanchez was calling us FROM A HOUSE CALL. He took the time to speak to my wife and I about what was going on with our dog. He calmed us down, provided us with information, and even offered to take a look at the X-rays. Doctor Sanchez was able to tell from the X-rays that the sand our pet had eaten had passed any concerning areas. The overnight stay and other services on the inflated invoice provided by the emergency room were not necessary at all. Not only had Doctor Sanchez taken the time to read our emails and respond to our concerns, Doctor Fasano also took the time to take a look at the X-rays and send us equally compassionate and reassuring correspondence regarding our pet's situation. Both Doctors agreed our dog would be fine so we immediately retrieved him from the emergency room. As predicted, our pet was back to normal by morning. We are beyond grateful. The Silver Bluff Animal Clinic saved us a great deal of money and saved our pet from unnecessary procedures. These people really care about you and your pet and it's obvious from every interaction. I would recommend no other health care provider for a pet. I genuinely wish they treated humans so I could change my own general practitioner. Read Less

Writing this review after my first initial consult with my new baby, Polly.  Upon parking you'll realize this is not your ordinary vet clinic. You enter through a beautiful calm garden with plenty of interesting scents for your pup or even a small sitting area to wait in case he/she is anxious. Wood floors,  an open floor plan, and Reaggae tunes make this place feel very homey and I'm impressed with the friendliness of the staff.  Polly wasnt loving it, but the vet tech did her best to distract her with cuddles and kisses while she was being examined. Thank you for a  great vet experience. See you all in a few weeks! Read Less

I was out-of-state and needed a VET exam and really needed a quick appointment for a pre-purchase exam and issues relating to the dog's weight of a dog I was purchasing for subsequent travel and a new home in Hawaii.  I went there and was amazed at Silver Bluff's professionalism from the check-in to the initial Vet Assistant briefing.  Dr. Hann then saw the dog and did a solid 40 minute exam and then we decided to proceed with some X-rays which were done pronto and Dr. Hann came back with the X-ray results on his Vet laptop.  Dr. Hann is a total pro and immediately relates to the animal (and the owner).   He is easy to talk to and very thorough and asks the right questions.  I only wish that I could have Dr.  Hann as my doctor (and I'm not kidding) - he is more thorough and more engaging than any people doctor I've ever experienced and the staff is just amazing. Read Less

Ted Sanchez and his staff are true angels. They saved my Enzo's life after a horrible experience at VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital. Dr. Sanchez, Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Fasano are so amazing, as well as Nicole and the rest of the staff. Here you can find expertise, fairness, and people who love animals! Read Less

Today we needed to see a vet because my dog has had five days of diarrhea. He's been a regular patient of theirs a couple years in the past. I called to find out one thing:  if there is a stool test for parasites they could run. That's all I wanted to know. The guy ignored my question, and told me he needed to check our account. Upon finding that we hadn't been there for a couple of years, he proceeded to tell me that my dog needs to come in and pay for an entirely new "complete physical exam" that would cost upwards of $100.  I asked him my question again, and he reiterated that they can't and won't do anything for my dog, until I've come in there and paid for a "complete updated exam" unrelated to why we were coming in. Arbitrary requirements enabling them to upcharge me for unnecessary procedures are not my problem.  You can call his veterinarian in California and get his records if you need updated info on him. That's what everyone else does, and it's completely free.I will be going to another vet who doesn't create unnecessary requirements that benefit them financially, instead of just helping my dog.EDIT:   Staff of this clinic - Please do not contact me. I can see that you contact everyone trying to convince them to change their reviews. Even getting somewhat disrespectful to people when they won't. I have many years of experience at your clinic and have had several frustrating situations occur, but I never wrote a review. I moved to California and just moved back, and my first phone call reminded me why I don't go there anymore. I'm entitled to feel this way about my experiences, and three stars is better than one. So please do not harass me by DM's or call my phone, so we can keep it at 3 stars. Thank you for understanding. And my suggestion is that you take input from these reviews, not hyperfocus on the fact that you don't have all five stars on yelp.EDIT 2:   I received a sarcastic, insulting, condescending response from the people at this clinic in my inbox.   Basically mocking me for my belief that I could find treatment for Baxter without unnecessary "exams" and fees.  Well guess what gentlemen.  I did find it.  Literally the next vet I called.  Who had never even seen baxter before.   Took us in and treated him without a single other requirement.  Shocking that I know more about your industry than you do.   Because you disrespected my request to leave me alone, and also sent me your standard sarcastic condescending insulting DM, I am changing my review to one star.   Toodles.

Dr. Fasano and the staff at Silver Bluff are absolutely amazing. They saved my dog. An extremely kind and diligent practice. They care for every patient like it's their own pet. Can not recommend enough. Thank you Dr. Fasano! Read Less

The best place in South Florida. I cannot say enough of doctor Sanchez and his team. Everyone gives 100% of care, love, understanding, friendliness. The place itself is warm. A new doctor is on board and we had a great experience with hkm. I apologize for not remembering his name. We have taking our babies there for the past 15 years or more. Read Less

Dr.Sanches is the best VET Dr. I ever have. my Apsy have been suffering with various ailment, skin,eyes and ears, finally this week I see an improvement. I also want to thank his assistant Lissette who is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in understanding my situation. Read Less

My initial review was both highly complimentary and not-so-nice all at the same time - yeah, you read that right.  I didn't have the best experience, but on reflection and after follow up communications with Dr. Sanchez, I think it's best to let you, the reader, be the judge.  I've edited myself so as not to create bias which might be unfair to the reader and to the clinic and staff.  Good option for some, not for everyone.

I’m so happy that we found this place. They are truly focused on your dog’s health, not just on making a buck. Doctor Fasano is great and the staff is very professional. Not to mention how cute the place is! Highly recommended. Read Less

We took our pommie, Molly, for the first time yesterday and wish to share our experience. The environment is ample, homey, and there is an overall feeling of positive energy. THE STAFF IS WONDERFUL, well mannered, charming, and Dr. Fasano had professional skills and bedside manners we wish all doctors had. The assistants were super helpful and skilled. Cost of care is very reasonable and fair. The philosophy appears holistic and non-commercial with the animal’s health a priority. A wonderful experience. Read Less

Can't say enough great things about this place. The vet and techs were just amazing with my mini Aussie, who is very shy around strangers, as it was his first visit. They thoroughly explained everything (more than most vets do) and were very sensitive and loving to my pup. I also love their holistic approach to keeping pets healthy without over-medicating them. Keep up the great work! Read Less

I appreciate that the doctor takes a holistic approach and does not push unnecessary vaccines however I went there for the first time upon a recommendation and unfortunately was underwhelmed.  After waiting 50 minutes after my scheduled appointment to be seen for my cat's allergy, we finally saw Dr. Sanchez. He was with us for about 15 min before he admitted that he did not have a solution for us and had to go because he was running behind that day. It was evident that he was double or triple booked. Either that or the other doctors didnt show up for work because there were many people waiting around!  He said he would research and email me about this new remedy.  Of course he never did. I was bummed considering we spent 2.5 hrs on the road for this visit. My poor cat. Also the open space concept (no closed doors) is not ideal for cats with all the noise and dogs running around. The staff is exceptionally friendly however! Perhaps if this was a routine checkup type of visit, my experience would have been different. As for my cat's allergy, I have found that feeding her a homemade raw meat diet has helped alot   (check out Raw Feeding Miami). Read Less

Awesome environment & extremely friendly staff.  Willing to fit sick pet in whenever possible and VERY informative regarding holistic care and what is truly best for your pet.  Only complaint recently is lack of communication with emergent needs but hands down one of the most relaxed environments for animals!  Love the convenience of dog food offered for purchase as well! Fair pricing as well! Read Less

caring and thorough, we came here when our animal was sick.  they were professional, accommodating and took us at 7:30am.also, followed up well and very responsive via email for updates on her improvement! Read Less

The best vet I have ever gone to. I love the environment and the people who work there. It feels so warm, welcoming and down to earth. I felt so comfortable being there and talking to the vet techs/assistants. The prices aren't shockingly expensive, pretty fair. They don't try to sell you things you don't need to or make you feel pressured or guilty. I remember that they suggested that my dog gets her rabies vaccine separate from her other vaccines so that my dog wouldn't be overwhelmed with too many shots in one day and I'm glad I agreed. It makes a big difference. I recently had to move out of state and find a new vet and they don't compare to here. I miss going to Silver Bluff! Read Less

Love this place. The staff is friendly, informative, and eager to assist. They sell top notch pet food. I've taken my baby there many times and always leave happy. It's also great that they are only a few blocks away from my house. Definitely recommend!Thanks again! Read Less

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing the vets and staff here are. I had some horror stories with my puppy with other vets and came here with really low expectations. My puppy absolutely loved it here. She felt so at peace and everyone was so friendly with her. They really do a great job at answering any questions you might have, providing options when it comes to treatments/procedures, etc. I adore this place and we'll definitely be coming back! Read Less

This is the BEST animal clinic i have ever been to. Incredibly great veterinarians and staff. They take the time to explain everything to you and what they recommend for your dog/cat. honestly can't say enough great things about this place. Read Less

I am probably one of the pickiest dog owners ever and worried as much about finding a new vet for our dog after moving here from out of state as I did about our own doctors. We visited the clinic to meet the vet and get an annual exam and had a great experience. Our dog has been nervous ever since our move and everyone at the clinic was so kind and patient with him. Our first experience when we walked in was with Oscar and I could have hugged him- he was so kind to our nervous pup - and we saw Dr. Jade and she was wonderful! It was clean and had a nice, laid back atmosphere, and the charges were reasonable. I'm so grateful to have found them in our new city! Read Less

Simply the best vet doctor and practice I've ever experienced . Ted Sánchez is wonderful - he is patient and has a natural approach to food/medicine/care (and even has a garden in the back)! I only wish he actually treated humans as well ! Read Less

There's a reason this is the highest rated vet on yelp- it's because it's the best. I've been to a few vets in Miami and I've never gone back to any of them. I'm happy to say that I've finally found a good vet. They are warm and professional. Their prices are so reasonable. The best thing about this clinic is that they're focused on PREVENTING health problems. When I walked in the vibe was happy and not scary and dreary like most places I've been. You can tell that the goal of this clinic is to love and help animals- not make as much money as possible. Read Less

Great vets with a great staff. Very knowledgeable, holistic, and reasonable. They include you in the decision making process she offer plenty of options and information whenever there is an issue. They're also really easy to get in contact with over the phone or email, when you want to ask questions. Read Less

There aren't enough words in the dictionary to express my gratitude to Dr. Jade Echagarrua.  Not only has she been a top-notch doctor to my furry baby over the last year, but during a very difficult time she has been an absolute rock.  Her professional qualities and her unmatched kindness have put me at ease during this time.  She has been available at all times, has checked in with me for updates and has been honest and forthcoming at every turn.  She always makes me feel like we are a priority, we are cared for and listened to.The rest of the staff also deserves high praise.  Every tech I have come into contact with has been wonderfully caring, and Dr. Sanchez has shown us great kindness the last few times we have stopped in.  I am grateful to have found this place. Come what may I know that my baby will be in kind and competent hands to deal with any health issues we may encounter. Read Less

I can't express how much I appreciate the staff at Silver Bluff. Everyone in the office is so warm and welcoming and their love for animals is apparent. Jade goes above and beyond to thoroughly explain options, ask questions and follow up. My pup has occasional seizures and they helped me decide the best treatment plan. Like most dog lovers, I am extremely concerned for my pet's well being. They are patient with me and my many questions! Thank you for taking great care of Emma! We will be clients of Silver Bluff as long as we are in Miami! Read Less

I've been coming here since the mid 1990s and have watched Ted grow his business and his family. I always bring my puppies and kittens here and when it's time to say good bye he and his staff have always helped. Can't say enough. Read Less

Fantastic amazing, dont think twice just bring your lovely dogs,cats and feel the difference.They take care gatsby since he's puppy and i can reach 24/7 literally. Follow ups are top notch.You feel they care about your pet as much as you do.Dr.Anderson love what she does,you can feel it and it comforts you as a parent. Read Less

My sister recommended Silver Bluff to me after I rescued my kitten, Francis. The staff was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and experienced. They made the experience for Francis and me as pleasant as it could be. I could definitely tell that everyone who works at Silver Bluff truly enjoys their job and cares about animals, something that is very important to me. I could have easily spent the whole day there. It does not feel intimidating like most vet's offices do. They have done an excellent job of creating a pet and people-friendly environment. Francis and I have been to Silver Bluff twice, both times for his vaccines. We saw Dr. Echagarrua for his first visit and Dr. Anderson for his second visit, both of which were professional and I would highly recommend either of them to anyone with a cat. Another thing I love about Silver Bluff is that they are very good about following up after appointments. We received a very nice, detailed email after our first visit asking about Francis' condition and encouraging me to ask any questions that I might possibly have. We will definitely continue returning to Silver Bluff as needed.Read Less

If you love your pets and need high quality veternary care, please do NOT bring them here. Worst clinic ever...they seem nice but are extremely incompetent. They could not even get my pet's name right and at the very least caused him great bodily harm and put his life in jeopardy. Whatever response they may give to my comment will simply be a cover up. Read Less

My experience at Silver Bluff was nothing short of amazing. Here's the quick rundown -- I was grooming my 8 month old puppy one night when I noticed that she had a raisin-sized mass in her ear. I was extremely worried and decided to look for a nearby animal clinic first thing in the morning. I did a Yelp search and was immediately drawn to Silver Bluff after reading the great reviews. I called around 9am and was greeted on the phone by a friendly nurse. She wasn't pushy, and after explaining the situation she took the time to let me know what what to expect if and when I decided to bring my puppy in. She also assured me that all options would be explained in depth and that they would be sure to keep me informed all the way. By 11:30am I was in the clinic with my puppy!First off, the clinic is really beautiful, with a very nature-esque look. My doggie felt comfortable immediately. The receptionist at the front was extremely friendly and even took the time to play with my dog while we waited. We only had to wait about 5 minutes before being taken into the examination room. Our nurse was exceptionally kind and very gentle with my dog. The tail never stopped wagging :) Our veterinarian was Dr. Anderson. She was very professional and made us feel at ease right away. She took a quick sample of the mass and examined it on her own. Within 10 minutes she came back and told us that it was most likely a benign tumor but to keep an eye on it. She gave me her card and told me to email her pictures of it periodically and to feel free to ask any questions via email. Overall, an A+, 5 star experience. I left that day with peace of mind and one happy puppy. In addition, the cost of the visit was not outrageous as I had originally been worried about. The needle sample was only $35 ! I will definitely be making Silver Bluff my dog's official Vet Clinic. Thank you Dr. Anderson and staff!! Read Less

Silver Bluff is a very good veterinary clinic, with a casual rather than cold atmosphere, caring staff, and generally good recommendations for potential treatment options, without overcharging for unnecessary tests, nor recommending treatments that may just as well be delayed until the animal is older.  This is why I chose them as my regular vet.This review is based on an incident of a terrible judgment call on the part of a junior vet on staff.  I cannot emphasize enough how bad the judgment was.So, why is this review not a 1?  The day after the unfortunate incident, I was contacted by a more senior staff vet, Dr. Melanie Anderson, who tried to begin to get to the bottom of what had happened.  After explaining, I went in the next day unannounced and Dr. Anderson interrupted her schedule to speak to me about where they were in terms of reviewing the case.By the end of the week, the practice owner, Dr. Ted Sanchez, reached out to meet with me personally.  We met, and he made no excuses, no blame of others, just an honest an candid review of the facts.  And he described the extent to which he reviewed with his staff the details of the case over the week.  Mistakes are made by all of us.  In medicine, whether animal or human, the stakes are higher.  But the similarity in any profession is that you are honest about your mistakes, learn from them, and do whatever is possible to put them right.  For this, Silver Bluff, and in particular Dr. Anderson and Dr. Sanchez get a 5.  The average of the incident and the handling of it lead to my review of "3".And as a final note, be aware that a vet clinic and vet hospital are different.  Have your vet for your regular reviews check ups, vaccinations, treatment of chronic illness, and any non-acute condition, regardless of whether acute symptoms have presented.  For an animal in major distress, go directly to a veterinary hospital, equipped with facilities for surgery, oxygen cubicles, and everything needed to treat an acute and potentially critical condition.  This should be a 24 hour hospital (combined emergency and regular), and I would humbly suggest you register with the hospital of your  choice in advance so you are a client of theirs upon arrival.  By nature, when you go to the veterinary hospital rather than your regular clinic, time will be of the essence, and there may be no time for registration and consent forms.

Totally loved this place ! My dog was very comfortable, didn't show any signs of been nervous like she usually does at other vets. The service was extremely good, doctor was patience and explained everything in detail. I recommended this vet to all my family and friends!Read Less

I came to SBAC as a walk-in concerned about some odd symptoms my boxer was showing. I was seen promptly, offered good advice, and nobody sold me anything I didn't need, even when I would have been willing to pay. When symptoms worsened (problem was a brain tumor), I received email follow-ups through the weekend to check on his condition. I'll be bringing all my pets to SBAC for good care at fair prices. Read Less

Excellent treatment... Personal super-extra-magnifically qualified..... This place is really safe for all pets... No sharp surfaces... Everything clean and healthy, and the food..... My Chester loves it.... Good price.... Doctors and technical staff very proffesional Read Less

Close to my house and I regret not having been with them before. Informed me of all my options and educated me about the choices of dog food... They actually care. Thank you to Dr Jade & the lovely vet techs. Read Less

Today was my first visit to the clinic, with a sick doggie. I loved the service and attention. I have been with a prior vet for over 40 years. I am now changing my vet to SBAC. Thank you for your professionalism, service and bedside manners. My dogs will be very happy as well. Love , Francine, Suzie Q & Abbey Rose Read Less

Love love love this place. I kick myself for not finding them 20 years ago. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! It was like a dream. The staff was very friendly. My dogs and I felt like we were home. It has a very natural/rustic/organic feel. I would have gladly spent the day there. My dogs didn't want to leave! You don't feel like you are in a clinic. The Dr. is very sweet and he spent the time necessary with each dog. They give you the option to stay with your dog while they do the tests (unlike ALL the other clinics I have been to that carry your dogs to the back where you don't see them). We look forward to our next visit! Read Less

I took my two cats to the animal clinic and everyone there was extremely friendly, attentive and there was almost no wait. I loved the clinic, the prices were great and the vets were wonderful. I'll never go anywhere else! Read Less

I love the doctors & staff at Silver Bluff. I have NEVER been so satisfied with all my visits. The office is beautiful. Basically, everything at Silver Bluff is unicorns & glitter. Absolutely amazing service, attention & worth every cent.Read Less

The staff gets to know you and your pet (I have a cat!) and work around busy schedules to accommodate visits. The techs are amazing and Dr Anderson is one of a kind. I had visited / taken my cat to several other vets, but no one else comforted my cat (and honestly me) the way Dr Anderson did and her staff. This is the only vet in Miami I would recommend!Read Less

It's been a while since I brought my chihuahua to the vet, so when he started acting a bit off, I was on the hunt for the best vet in Miami. I turned to yelp and decided to go with Silver Bluff. It was an amazing choice! The staff was great and super patient as was the Vet. I like that they don't force unnecessary vacciations (they look at risk of each dog). They also focus on the whole dog (food, activity, etc.) as opposed to just the medical side. I am so excited to have found Silver Bluff and will be back whenever we need. As for prices, any vet visit hurts the wallet, but I liked that they are very upfront so you don't get shocked with more than you had expected. It definitely makes it easier when you know what to expect from the visit and each procedure. Read Less

I would give them 6 stars if I could... Dr. Anderson is VERY knowledgable, and also very easy to talk to..She took great care of my cat Rueben until there was just nothing else that could be done for him...and even then, in my worst possible moment, when I had to take him in, knowing that he wasn't coming home, she was really amazxing.,..she made it as comfortable as possible for both my cat and for me, if there even is such a thing.. The whole staff there are really nice and friendly..I would HIGHLY recommend that you take your animals to Silver Bluff Animal Clinic as I feel that they are the best in all of Miami... I still have Rueben's sibling, Bonzai, and could not imagine taking her anywhere else. These are really some special people at Silver Bluff. You should go see for yourself. Read Less

We've taken all of our dogs here and have never had a bad experience. To those complaining that staff does a great deal, thats how all medicine works these days and it is also how new vets get trained. You can't expect the Vet to do all of the mundane tasks. Just be happy that he hires compassionate and excellent assistants and technicians. We've had dogs my entire 44 years and I have never had a better vet for them than for my 3 dogs now and previously in another marriage 3 others. Read Less

I found this animal clinic out of an emergency. I had adopted a puppy a few days ago, when she began to have stomach problems. I called the number at 9pm, left a message and (having never been a client at the facility) received a call from Dr. Sanchez 20 minutes later. He spoke kindly and concerned, and asked that I come by with the puppy the next morning and would fit me in between patients. The location from 27th avenue did not look very nice at all, which was worrisome, but once I parked outside the back and walked in all my concerns disappeared. The facility is beautiful and spotless (it smelled great, considering it is a vet's office). The technician saw me immediately, was very knowledgeable and the doctor saw me a few minutes later. He is very knowledgeable about nutrition and provided extensive guidance on taking care of the puppy going forward. The attention I received here was excellent and I would highly recommend them. I had a dog 10 years ago with a vet farther away, and never had this type of service or facilities there. They also assist in preparing insurance claims, so that's a plus if you've got coverage. Thanks Dr. Sanchez! Read Less

DO NOT take your pets here. This place is run by staff and technicians, and the vet is almost never in. My dogs were given a hip X-ray but we were told to talk to the vet when he comes in later on the phone! My dog got a dental cleaning here and the spot they shaved for anesthesia got infected. When we brought the dog in, the staff said the vet was not going to be in during the time his kids were on the spring break. Then, who sees all the pets during that time? The staff and technicians! This place is extremely unprofessional and negligent. I would never go back again. Read Less

I had my little dog spayed at this clinic and they did a wonderful job and kept in contact with me the whole day. The pre-op / post-op appointments were included in the surgery. The staff is kind and loving. Great vet/ homey office and awesome animal care. Vet is knowledgeable about nutrition and promotes natural/ holistic feeding. Would recommend to anyone who needs vet care. Read Less

Pros Caring, holistic, knows a lot about nutrition (many vets don't!), is available outside of office hours for emergencies (most vet's tell you to call the 24-hour animal hospital), Saturday hours, he does the surgeries Cons On the expensive side, staff/technicians do a lot of the leg work (shots, etc.).
