The RUDEST veterinarian ever

by k seay at Citysearch

I called Bay Road Animal Clinic today to gather information on treatment for tapeworms for my dog. The receptionist, Lucy, gave me the info I requested and set an appt. I called back a few minutes later to ask for the exact name of the medication that would be administered, because it struck me that Lucy said my dog would be receiving a shot rather than pills (pills are more commonly used for the treatment of tapeworms). I wanted to research this type of treatment prior to the visit. Lucy put me on hold so she could ask the doctor for the name of the medication that would be administered. Instead of Lucy returning with the answer, James (the "doctor"), picked up and simply said, "Why?". I was surprised and thought perhaps he meant to answer a different line. I repeated my question and he then asked 'why' again. Before I could even answer he rattles off the name of 3 medications very quickly. When I asked if he could spell the names so I could research them, he tells me that he graduated from the University of Florida and that he doesn't have to explain himself to anyone - and that if I wanted to bring my dog in for the treatment, I should do so without asking questions. He then hung up on me.

You have to laugh at this, right? I couldn't believe the doctor spoke to me in this manner. Don't waste your time with these losers.

• Cons: The 'doctor' is a JERK

A vet that loves animals

by Laurent at Citysearch

When my cat got very sick 2 years ago, i first went to south beach animal hospital. they wanted 1500 dol for 3 days treatment. i couldn't afford that. i went to see dr duggan, and for 60 dol he saved my cat's life. he knew i had not a lot of money but he loves animals before anything, he's not gonna let an animal dies because he want some money like the others.

Last year, another cat got sick, i went to banfield hospital in Midtown, it cost me more than 1000 dol even though i have the insurance with them, so i went to see doctor duggan and he healed my cat for 90 dol.

This doctor is the best in miami area.

• Pros: Competent, good advise
• Cons: close on sunday

Nice caring vets take good care of my Labrador dog

I have been using Dr. Duggan for over a decade and have come to appreciate the care and service I get at Bay Road Animal Clinic. As a busy professional, my time is limited and the office takes great pains to get me in when I need to take puppy in for treatment. I like that they do most lab work right there so they can diagnose and treat in a timely manner.

• Pros: Parking, appointment availability
