Animal Care and Surgical Hospital, Miami FL

First time in this office and we are extremely satisfied with the service and care our dog Sunshine received. Staff is super friendly and professional. Kept us posted after the surgery with her condition at all times. Smooth process considering the circumstances and how scared we were. Definitely recommend this veterinarians office! Thank you

After the vet we had vanished from the clinic we were going and had horrible new doctors that couldn't care less. We decided to find a clinic for a check up on my senior dog bonnie who’s a Dash Hound/Maltese mix, everyone was nice, and it went like I expected. A few weeks later we toke her to get an opinion on growth on her leg, it was a large growth that grew for months after the other clinic said it wasn’t necessary to remove since it was not malignant and that it didn’t look too bad. But when Dr. Cepero saw her, he said that it looked really bad and best to take a biopsy and plan on removing it. He gave us a few options and explained them really well and we went with the option of trying to remove as much mass as possible and to do a deeper biopsy. But he with the opinion of Dr. Dominguez said that it would be difficult to remove the whole mass without having to remove that part of her leg since there would be barley any skin to work with, but Dr. Dominguez would try. Surgery day came, they toke her in with, kept us updated, and a few hours later the surgery was successful and that the whole mass was removed. They even sent us pictures of how her leg looked after getting shaved in pre-surgery it looked worse than we thought, then of how it looked before the sutures, and finally after the sutures were. Then the next day we had a follow up with Dr. Cepero, the bandages were taken off and he said it was looking fine. My dog was very sleepy and didn’t want to do anything at first but when she got more active my brother decided to get on the ground to look while she was eating and noticed the bottom sutures. We called and they said to take her right away, Dr. Cepero checked and decided to put a bandage wrap on her leg to stop Bonnie from making it worse and said to take her everyday to flush the wound even tough Bonnie resisted and tried to bite the Dr. Cepero now that she was better. But after a few days of flushing and changing her wrap, she no longer needed a muzzle since she was now comfortable with the staff doing the flushes and Dr. Cepero checking her surgery site. She was also on medications for pain, and she also had antibiotics which she didn't want to take so they made an immediate appointment and Dr. Cepero decided to inject the antibiotic instead to prevent infections. Eventually even though she was active and could make the wound worse, Dr. Cepero notice the bandage wrapping caused her to get a few ulcers so unfortunately for Bonnie they had to put three staples on one of the big ulcers and decided it was best for her to just get it flushed. Dr. Cepero eventually got the sutures off and still told us to bring her in to flush it. Eventually Bonnie was given the all clear, nothing else needed to be done since it was not malignant. Now a few months later her fur has almost grown completely back, and it looks like nothing has happened. She's now using her leg almost like before the growth, although Bonnie's leg seems to be slightly weakened possibly from having the growth on her leg for so long and her not being able to use it much before the surgery. Overall, I really love the dedication Dr. Cepero has and is one of the nicest veterinary doctors we've seen and seems to really care about animals. Dr. Dominguez did an excellent job on the surgery that he thought it would be difficult and he seemed like a nice person even though we saw him only a few times. The rest of the staff was professional and were always there if there is anything we needed. I definitely recommend this vet clinic.

They fixed Junior's broken jaw & busted eye beautifully! The whole team is very attentive, professional, nice to both people & pets & just want the best results for your pet. I trust them with my family.

Dr. Dominguez and Dr. Cepero went beyond the call of duty to help our very sick cat. Their staff was wonderful. They always fit s in to their schedule. They are professional and so compassionate. I would not hesitate to recommend them for surgery or any type of veterinary care. Thank you!

I originally was referred to this animal hospital due to my dog sustaining a knee injury. They did surgery on her and she got the best of care on her post-op follow ups. This was two years ago. I live about 40 mins away from this vet, but I love their care with my fur baby so much that I do not mind driving all the way here to keep them as our vet to go to. I highly recommend them!

My mother found out today her dog died of sepsis from less than 24hrs of being told her dog was perfectly healthy with no infections or display of any symptoms. Backstory: My stepfather was told the dog had a piece of bone pierce the esophagus and needed to have surgery to remove it. They told him there wasn't going to be any complications and had nothing to worry about. After the surgery they said the dog was doing fine and after having tests run on him there was no signs of infection or anything that will cause concern; just a little bit of low potassium. We were told he needed to stay for at least a week so they can monitor him and allow him to heal. In the coming days the dog was doing fine, eating, and in good spirit and still no sign of any issues or infections developing. Then all of a sudden from one day to the next he dies? If tests were being run and saying he didn't have any infections, if he didn't display any symptoms, young, energetic, and being monitor at all time, how does something like this happen? How could this not be caught in time? I call total BS. Either someone screwed up and they are keeping it quiet, or they knew he was already going to die but wanted to profit from an emotional distress person.

EDIT: To the individual who responded to my review is right about one thing; there is a miscommunication. Because when I spoke over the phone, they told me that the dog started vomiting late into the evening around 9PM and there was blood in the vomit, and the following morning he died. But prior to that time he was stable no issues. Yet the person responding is saying he was collapsing, looking pale, and the test results were the complete opposite from previous ones around the afternoon, almost a full day before he died. And if the "so called" story of his condition worsening around the afternoon was true, why weren't we notified of it. Why was it when "we" called in we told he was fine and stable. So yeah there is a miscommunication but its clearly coming from this hospital because I been told two different stories now from them. I was told I was going to receive email copies of the test results, what procedures were perform on the dog, and cost, but still haven't received anything. And for the record I never stated I worked in the medical field so I'm curious where these people pulled that from. Perhaps the best thing is to report it to Local Licensing Board.

Animal Care and Surgical Hospital are always there for us whenever we need assistance towards any situation with our furbaby. We always return here because of the genuine care and fast service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable vet that cares for each and every individual pet as if it were theirs!

Today my family member buried her 7 year old Yorkie. This thanks to the incompetent group that works at the Animal Care Surgical Hospital. He went in for a simple procedure and 10 days later he ended up on dialysis and ultimately death. No excuses. Be very careful with your pet. LAZARO CEPERO DVM should have his license revoked.
Don’t take them to this butcher shop.
Today is a very sad day for our family. RIP Toby. We will miss you

I have a Rottweiler and two Doxies. I have been bringing my dogs here for 2 years and have always received fast and great service. I found this veterinary clinic when I was in search for a specialist in dealing with osteochondrosis. They were able to help my Rottweiler with this debilitating issue and he is now in great shape and full of energy. Definitely recommend this team.

Today I had the best experience at this place
Dr. Cepero was really patience and took his time to explain his recommendation and the best option to treat my pet
Anttonella and Yari were super helpful and kind
And Even tho they were full of calls and busy with other clients
They tried their best to response every question and give me the best experience

The staff was very friendly and the vet was very thorough and helpful with Chichi's diagnosis! No wait time and everything was great! Definitely recommend and will go back.

Dr. Dominguez was great. We decided to bring my dog to get evaluated as a second opinion. He did a physical exam and immediately knew what it was. My dog required surgery and we decided to get it done with him. Great attention, Dr. Dominguez explained the entire procedure to us, recovery etc. Absolutely recommend!

Awesome customer service, Dr very professional and love their work. Treat our pets like they own. Always respond and we are very please with their service.

I’m so happy that my friend referred me to ACSH when I found out that my 13.5 year old Yorker needed two last minute emergency surgeries. The other vet I’d taken her to charged me over $400 for the exams then told me they couldn’t help her. After seeing their Instagram page and how many surgeries they do on a daily basis, along with my friend saying great things about them, I felt comfortable taking my dog to them. They were also way more reasonable than the other animal hospitals I called.
They were very helpful and reassuring everytime I called with a question. There were no hidden fees. They charged me exactly what I was quoted up front. Antonella at the front was very knowledgeable and communicated directly with the vet anytime I called. Dr. Cepero was also amazing with my baby. Thank you for helping Bia with her last minute surgeries. She is better than ever now.:)

***Update******

This Animal Hospital is the right place to bring your pets. After 5 years I still a very loyal customer because I work in the Medical Field and I can recognize an AMAZING Doctor when I see one, we now have another beautiful dog her name is Leia and both Lola and Leia looove them.thank you again for all you do for our beautiful girls! **********

I came across Dr Randy because my Chihuahua had to have surgery and all the other vets I took her to were all about money, Dr Randy and his staff were the only ones that makes us feel like they really care about my dog, it was very difficult for us she was just a puppy and with the help of Dr Randy and his wonderful staff they made the process so much easier.the surgery was a success, my dog is in great shape, and we are just so thankful and blessed to have Dr Randy as our vet, I will not take her anywhere else, I don't mind driving, the care that my dogs receive there I can't find it anywhere else.
Not only Dr Randy, his entire staff is always willing to help.
Beside taking my dogs there for care I also leave them there every time we go out of town, because to be honest this is the only place I trust that will really take good care of my dogs, and believe me I'm really picky about who takes care my dogs, here I get to do facetime with them and everything.lol
I can tell you he save my dog, and I will forever be thank full.
Thank you Dr Randy and your wonderful staff.
XOXO from Lola (your favorite white Chihuahua) lol.
She loves you guys.

I brought my dog Duque a 5 year old Siberian Husky to Dr. Dominguez for a dislocated hip due to a car accident. Dr. Dominguez, Dr. Cepero and their team took very good care of us and our dog. When we met Dr. Dominguez he explained what he could do to place the hip back in place. A technique that not a lot of doctors used, a toggle system. I had brought Duque to several other doctors and some would not touch the dog and others wanted to cut the head off the bone (FHO) and place it in the socket. We went with Dr. Dominguez because of his experience and pictures and videos of dogs from before and after the surgery. His office is very clean and also very good with pricing and gave us meds to take home. We noticed on several visits the love they have for pets and speaking to pet owners while there i noticed a trend for quality not quantity. My wife and i could not be happier with the treatment we got from Dr. Dominguez, Dr. Cepero and their team. Will be returning to bring our other dog Freddy the Labrador. Thank you guys!
