Fort Lauderdale Veterinary Center

My experience at Dr. Gonzalez's veterinary clinic was nothing short of a nightmare. From start to finish, it was a rollercoaster of incompetence, dishonesty, and outright hostility. It all began when I called to schedule an appointment for my girlfriend's dog to receive flea medication. I explicitly stated that we only needed an examination and a prescription. The receptionist assured me that the total cost would be $79, which seemed reasonable. However, this was just the beginning of a series of blatant lies and deceit. Upon arriving at the clinic, my girlfriend was ushered into a waiting room while I stayed outside. Dr. Gonzalez barely glanced at the dog's coat for less than five seconds before disappearing, promising to return with an estimate. What followed was a jaw-dropping revelation by a different receptionist that the examination and medication would cost a staggering $260, more than three times what we were quoted over the phone. When we attempted to address this gross discrepancy, Dr. Gonzalez himself emerged, displaying an appalling lack of professionalism and integrity. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, he outright accused us of lying and threatened to fire the receptionist who had given us the initial quote. His behavior was beyond reprehensible, culminating in a threat to sue us if we dared to leave a negative review. The audacity of Dr. Gonzalez's actions left us speechless and utterly disgusted. To be treated with such disrespect and contempt is unacceptable, especially from a supposed professional in the field of veterinary medicine. It is abundantly clear that Dr. Gonzalez prioritizes profits over the well-being of animals and their owners. I refuse to be intimidated into silence by Dr. Gonzalez's baseless threats. I will not hesitate to warn others about the abysmal treatment they might encounter at this clinic. If Dr. Gonzalez wishes to take legal action against me for speaking the truth, then so be it. But I will not back down from exposing the despicable practices of this establishment.

Horrible experience! Dr Gonzalez does not care about the animals. He cares about the money.

Very bad treatment, I went to ask for information and the man at the reception was very rude and had a very bad manner, the woman who worked before was very friendly. They need to change it.

I have been coming to this place for over 7 years, and the quality of service from the Vet has gone completely downhill. The overall experience at this Vet is a complete disappointment. The doc makes you feel like a complete stranger every time you speak to him, and sometimes I wonder why he's even a vet because he shows no passion for his work and makes you feel like your pet is just a paycheck to him.

PLEASE DO NOT GO , ITS NOT BUSY FOR A REASON . THE BLONDE CAT LADY IS THE WORST WHEN IT COMES TO EXAMINING YOUR PET . SHE WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING JUST FOR YOU TO SPEND MONEY. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. I BROUGHT MY DOG SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY NEVER HAVE A LOGIC ANSWER. I DONT KNOW WHETHER SHE JUST TREATS DOGS LIKE THAT JUST BECAUSE SHES A CAT LADY BUT THEY ARE A SCAM . Please listen to me when I say this I am never quick to write a bad review, but Im trying to save people from coming in and spending their money and trying to help their pet and get no answer.
