Everytime I come here I walk in with no doubt that they all have my dog Kona's best interest in mind. The staff and vets are patient and loving. They treat my dog as if it were their own. Thank you for always being there when we need you for Kona!! read more

Highly recommend Dr. Jimenez and his Clinic. The service is amazing no matter what time you need good advice, regular check ups or in an emergency. The Clinic is super modern with the latest equipment for any kind of procedure. I wouldn't let anyone else see LEO and Sofia going forward read more

Came home from a trip to a very lethargic-looking spaniel; rushed to this amazing facility after-hours. Dr. Jimenez was SO kind, so honest, so compassionate and so thorough. He put us right at ease! read more

I have been going to Dr. Jimenez for over 2 years now and I can't express how much I LOVE this vet and his staff. Prompt and professional, caring and knowledgable, very friendly staff and Dr. Jimenez himself. We have 5 dogs that have been under their care and I absolutely trust them here. Reasonable prices too. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Dr. Jimenez and his team are excellent, professional, kind and ETHICAL. In my experience, they will recommend what is best for your pet and will not recommend procedures or tests that your pet does not need. I have a lot of trust in their perspective and will continue bringing my fur baby here. read more

I recently have had several visits with my dogs and cats to Dr. Jiminez at Biscayne Veterinary Center on Biscayne Blvd. near NE 58th St. In Miami. I have to tell you he is a very special man and a skilled, compassionate vet. He connects with you and your pet. He listens, he cares, he's so smart and always available. He is truly wonderful. Many of my neighbors use him and can't say enough good things about him. Dr. Jiminez has left his bed in the middle of the night two times for two emergency situations with my pets and he greeted me with a smile and focused concern. I knew each time my pets were in great hands. His facility is modern, clean, well staffed and everyone who works there is kind and helpful. I totally recommend anyone looking for a vet to visit him. You will not be disappointed. SMART, CARING VET!!! One of the good guys. Roberta read more

I love Biscayne Veterinary Center and would never take my dogs anywhere else. I have had several emergencies with my two dogs and they have always been responsive. I find the prices are fair based on quality of care I receive. I have established my pets as patients of the practice and I am regular with my visits and checkups. I read the other reviews and I find it hard to believe "Dr. Jimenez is never there". He is always there! The staff? Super nice and kind. read more

Taking your pet to the vet shouldn't be stressful! Awesome vet.

WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER AT A VET. I know this is a lot to read. In case you want to skip the details, 1. Great facilities are deceiving 2. They do not handle cats well 3. Dr. Murray is unprofessional, inattentive, and entitled 4. The assistants offered no support or comfort to our cat 5. There was NO COMMUNICATION about the health of our cat besides a guess of his age 6. The other doctor there, who I assume is Dr. Jiminez SLAMMED the door of our exam room as we tried to figure out what to do when our animal was screaming in the other room 7. I put on our forms that I was referred by yelp. That was an ERROR; it was South Beach Animal Hospital that I had read and SHOULD HAVE GONE TO. 8. AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU CAN. I use yelp regularly to choose restaurants, activities, etc. But I never make a point to yelp. However, I am so appalled with this experience; I need to share this so no one else makes this mistake. Today we took our cat in for a check up and evaluation for teeth cleaning (including pre-anesthesia blood work), we had the most unprofessional experience ever.The facilities are very nice and clean, the front desk worker is very friendly. DON'T LET THAT FOOL YOU. We were taken to a room, waited a few minutes and the doctor---Dr. Murray and her assistant came in and barely introduced themselves before starting to remark on the cat's size. He is a 16lb cat, who was sitting comfortably in our cat carrier. They let him out and began trying to examine him. OF COURSE he was nervous when they were handling him. They scoffed at the food we are feeding him ($25 blue buffalo weight control) and told us it was "way too many calories," then said after less than 5 min in the room they would come back to the room when "he had calmed down." I asked them if they work with cats on a regular basis---since they acted like it was abnormal to see a cat that didn't just sit there---and the assistant said yes. They came back after a few minutes, again began handling him like they have never seen a scared animal in the office before, holding the back of his neck down, like it was A SURPRISE HE WOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY COOPERATIVE-- and again left the room. He was perfectly calm and playing with us in between them coming in. The assistant then came into the room a third time, wrapped him up and took him to another room to draw blood. We were waiting in the exam room and heard this horrific screaming. We didn't t think it was possible to be our cat, but when I opened the door and walked closer to the room where they draw blood, I could see the assistant holding him down as he tried to move. A third girl--a tech--came out and I insisted on canceling the blood work. I told her to bring him back to the exam room and we that wanted to stop. She requested the cat carrier and completely ignored me when I told her that he hated seeing the cat carrier and it would make him even more anxious. We have a very old cat carrier. I tried to show her how to use it and how we put him in it, but she just took it and said she knew how to do it. She told me she would send the doctor back in to explain everything. A few minutes later, we could hear the assistant and Dr. Murray commenting on how "if we had a brought a proper carrier," and that they were "having to deal with a cat" very loudly in an echoing room two doors down from us. I heard the cat carrier break and could only imagine how they were shoving him into the carrier--since we could still hear him screaming. We were discussing what we would do as another doctor quickly came and slammed our exam room door---like WE WERE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. The assistant then brought our cat back in the carrier and set it down commenting on how he "just turned into a monster" and "was like an alligator rolling and trying to bite through the towel." She then explained we should give him a sedative before coming next time since he was "totally unmanageable." I asked her if she was going to bring the doctor back and she said "well ...I can.. but what are we gonna do?" I said, how about examine him!? She responded that they already had. I told her the doctor had listened to his heart and looked in his mouth, but never examined the EARS, EYES, NAILS, ETC. Bottom line: the doctor NEVER CAME BACK to explain ANYTHING, and the assistant made it evident she was not going to get the doctor so we left. For the record, I am a physician. I examine unruly, chaotic, spitting, sneezing children ALL DAY LONG. Do you think I ever blame the parents when they cry? Or not come back in the room when a parent has questions? Or comment on the brand or age of a stroller??! Absolutely not. My partner is also a professional. The behavior we experienced today was completely unacceptable, unprofessional and inexcusable for people that claim to have a passion for working with animals. Utterly abysmal service and traumatizing for our pet. read more

Raul is very experienced and caring. We love him. The BEST.

I didn't like it. It was my second time there and sadly my last. It just didn't feel like a place I should taking a "member" of my family too. It is very modern but I found the place to be understaffed and unorganized. Its too bad because it could have so much potential and its in my neighborhood but despite the slickness of the facility, the quality of care and a conveyance of confidence in what they are doing is what i expect and it wasn't delivered. I go didn't get the" warm and fuzzy" that I was at the right place for my dog and I only was there for an annual exam. I couldn't imagine going there for anything but a vaccine. An odd observation I took is that there were no other pet owners there with their pets there. Ghost town.. I get why now... read more

Dr. J and his staff were great.The facilities are modern and slick and very professional. I came in as a walk-in for my cat to get a check-up and some meds for a long trip. The doctor and his staff were very thorough and caring in the way they treated my cat and they carefully explained how to dose her. To top it all off it was one of the cheapest Vet visits I've ever had. If you're in this area I highly recommend them. read more

Jimenez is a very nice human being. Unfortunately he has an enormous overhead and in my opinion is a very mediocre Vetinario... HE KILLED MY DOG!!! I brought her to him with a small cist on her back and he gave her back to me with drainage tubes sticking out after cutting her open from one side to the other... cost $1.000.00 ... The next day I brought her back to him telling him she wasn't eating and seemed really weak...the bastard wouldn't even take the time to examine her. He brought a bit of baby food to the visiting area that she licked off his fingers and told me she was fine and take her home...she died that night!!! To his credit he told me that I didn't have to pay the $1.000.00 but any one who loves their pet knows I would have gladly payed the money and have my dog alive... if I had the knowhow I would have done everything in my power to keep him from hurting and killing other animals... The guy is a very charming quack!!! read more

I took my doxie here for a second opinion after her regular vet diagnosed her with pancratitits. Dr. Jimenez (while very serious) was also very caring and very thorough. He explained to me the bloodwork, how to properly administer her meds, a suggested change in diet and even took me the x-ray room to show me her x-rays. I would have to say it is 1 day later and the change in diet and better admin of meds are really showing. She is fully alert and back to her high energy self. Lets see what happens in a week. I was very happy. read more

I hace Mix feelings about this place.. I took Shinobi in after he had diarrhea for 4 days straight, they gave him a penicillin shot, and some antibiotics, took a fecal exam to check for parasites and then sent me home with a pumpkin cream and baby food diet. The actual Dr. Was really nice, patient, and through.. However the male technician everyone talks about is very rough with the animals. I have mixed feelings because shinobis diarrhea has gotten better, however since you interact mainly with the technician I can see all these horror stories being true. read more

I constantly tell people I have the best vet, and it's so true. Dr. Jimenez is very compassionate and knowledgable and has your pet's best interest at heart. I called several clinics after hours one night when my dog ate some anti-itch cream, and Dr. Jimenez called me back in less than 5 minutes. They are available 24 hours for emergencies and are very reasonably priced. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

We brought our 9 year old Bichon in because she had back issues. Dr. Jimenez was the attending vet. After taking an X-ray we were told she needed back surgery to the tune of $3500. I was very leery of this drastic solution. Additionally I wondered why he didn't send me to an orthopedic specialist. We then took her to our previous vet (we had recently moved from south Dade to north Dade). He also took an X-ray and painted a different picture. Yes she had back issues but he stated that back surgery would not be recommended for a 9 year old dog, it was a high risk situation, and it wasn't warranted. He put us on an alternate path consisting of glucosamine and mild pain relief medication if needed. That was over a year ago. She is scampering around enjoying her life. I am glad I had a bad feeling about the doctor and the diagnosis, the suggested drastic back operation, and sought a second opinion from my trusted vet. read more

Dr Raul Jimenez came highly recommended to me and he actually was the only doctor who gave the right diagnosis to our beloved Moon. Our Moon was diagnosed with Cushing's disease, but Dr Jimenez and his whole team at Biscayne Vet Center were extremely negligent and they not only lack of professionalism, customer service and communication skills but most importantly, they lack compassion. It took more than 15 calls and messages, to get the actual diagnosis and the results of the ultrasound. Although they new the severity of the illness and the importance of immediate treatment, we have had to chase them to get the medication and since we started treatment, our dog's health started to declined. We called multiple times asking to talk to the doctor so he could assess what what's happening but he was never available and never called back. Yesterday, moon continued to declined and he was very lethargic so I called 3 times, explained the situation and begged to have him call us back, but he never did. This morning he deteriorated more and after the second call I was told Dr Jimenez was fully booked and very busy so he couldn't talk to me, although I stressed it was a life threatening emergency. We decided to run to an emergency room but sadly, our beloved dog died on my daughter's lap in the parking lot of the ER. They were always lost, confusing the ultrasound appointment with a patient scheduled for surgery. Do yourself a favor and never take your loved one to Biscayne Vet / Buscayne Animal Hospital read more

I have known and patronized Biscayne Vet Center for MANY years. The staff is personable and professional. Dr. Jimenez is like "family" and I trust NO ONE else with my "kids". I can't imagine taking my furry family members ANYWHERE else! read more

Dr. Jimenez and his staff truly does love animals. Had to take my dog, Benji twice. The first visit was because I had discovered a lump on his tummy and wanted to have it checked out to see if it was serious. My dog can be aggressive towards men, which he had to be sedated, which made me and my sister so worried, but Dr. Jimenez comforted us by making jokes, which did relax us a bit. He also cleaned (not a thru cleaning, just took off the some tar from his teeth) my dogs teeth free of charge, which was kind of him... Thank god, the lump was nothing serious, it was just a fatty cyst. The 2nd time we had to go was for an emergency. My dog was not acting like himself and kept on yelping when we'd pick him up. This time, it was just Dr. Jimenez and he checked out my dog and took his temperature and turned out he had a fever!!! He prescribed my dog some antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and pain medicine. Which really did help, because he slept for about 2-3 hours and returned to his old self!! He is a jack russel, so he's pretty spunky... For emergencies, this is my to-go-to place. Dr. Jimenez is awesome! read more

Wanted to share what a great humanitarian and veterinarian Dr. Jimenez is. My very elderly doggie goes to him every month for an injection which many times Dr. Jimenez trims his nail at no additional cost. I called Dr. Jimenez late Friday night as my doggie was not doing well and immediately he called back and Saturday after his long day he came by my house to check up on my dog to determine if euthanasian was my next step. After evaluating my doggie Dr. Jimenez determine that he didn't feel my doggie was not in distress and gave me the choice of either weighing it out and waiting as my dog did not appear to be in distress. He suggested that if I was okay to wait for my dogs last breath instead of putting him down that he was okay with that. Upon the Dr. leaving my house I approach him with my check book to pay him and his reply was no need to do that as I really have not done anything. I was taken back as his time is valuable and that showed me that this Dr. is not just in it for the money. As a result of the Dr. recommendation of NOT putting my doggie down although I for sure am not of fan of taking this step right away. My doggie has miraculously bounced back and is doing super well. Dr. Jimenez has connected with me every day to follow up and see how my dog POTOTO is doing and told me before he left my house that Saturday to call him at any time of the night or day if I needed him . Thank you Dr. Jimenez for showing such great compassion for my beloved POTOTO. read more

First off, there is no way possible that these horrible reviews are legitimate. We called today to book an appointment and they were gracious enough to see us late in the afternoon. On our way to the vet, we encountered a lot of traffic so I called the vet. The receptionist said it was not a problem and they would see us at whatever time we got there. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very nice receptionist. We filled out some paperwork and were taken into one of the rooms. It is hard to find a human being, let alone a doctor in Miami that actually has passion about what they are doing and are not in it 100% for the money. Dr. Jimenez was extremely attentive to our dog's needs. Unfortunately, our dog had such a horrible skin reaction that he said he was sending us right to a dermatologist. Any other place would've ran a bunch of tests and blood work just to charge us the fees. Dr. Jimenez said he wasn't going to do the blood work there because the dermatologist was going to have to do it as well and it was pointless for us to pay for it twice. Dr. Jimenez gave our dog a shot to help with the infection he was having, but advised us to take him to the specialist as soon as possible and provided us with two referrals. After we were done and had all the explanation we needed, we proceeded to the front to pay for the consultation and the shot, but we were informed by Dr. Jimenez and the receptionist that there was no charge for the visit or the shot. We were floored... someone in Miami doing something for free because he actually cares for the animals and not the money?! You don't find genuine, honest people like Dr. Jimenez anymore - especially in Miami! I recommend this vet 100 times over! You will not be disappointed with their services or their genuine care for the well-being of animals! read more

Awesome group of people. Friendly. Clean. Patient. Free nail clippings. Yes. Coming back again.

Haven't spent a lot of time there, but everything seems good so far. Fair prices and good enough staff. Groomer right out back.

I was all about this vet for a few reasons. My manager referred me there and that's even where we referred all of our clients. So I took my dog in June for her first basic check up (she's a rescue) and Dr. Jay was very short with me. He didn't explain things to my understanding. I obviously don't know much about veterinary medicine so a little explanation is to be expected. Long story short I didn't go back because of location and my new vet did blood work on my pup. Turns out she has heartworm. Turns out, she's had heartworm for who knows how long and Dr. Jay's office didn't tell me. My new vet called their office and asked if she was positive and they said yes but I never received a call. She could have been on treatment for months already. I don't know how they could have forgot to call me. I am furious and will no longer refer my clients there anymore. read more

Dr. Jimenez have been Fantastic. He saved my dog. It was Friday night and it was really frightening because priscilla was showing signs of a severe stomachache. Obviously was late at night, and obviously my vet was closed. I search it on the Internet come by pure lucky I stumbled in Biscayne vet Center. Dr. Jimenez was on the phone, I brought my dog in in very severe conditions. She had a volvolus, a pathology that already killed two of my previous dogs. She recovered perfectly. Thanks dr. Jimenez. You have been more than good. You said to my " this dog is not going to die in my hands" and you were right! And beside that, very honest with the price, with all the treatments she received, has not been expensive at all! read more

Highly recommend! The staff is great and wonderful with my dog. The practice is clean, modern and I never have to wait long. Dr. Jimenez is thorough, professional and I trust him with my dog. They will clip your dog's nails for free as long as he/she is a patient and the prices are reasonable. I was so impressed with the compassion and the service we received that I wanted to share and give the practice 5 stars. read more

I have taken my older dog here before with no complaints. Just recently our puppy had an emergency so severe the Vet was uncertain of his outcome. The Vet ran out and immediately to attend to my dog. Since the time I dropped him off in the morning the Vet stayed there all Saturday day and night to keep us updated periodically. The Vet did not leave until 24hours later and left us with an update right before he left. Three hours after leaving he took our call from his home! Always being professional and sincere! I can not say enough about how grateful I am we took him to a place that was that devoted and caring! Even if our puppy does not make it I know they did everything in their power to have him come home to us! Thank you to the entire office for your support! read more

Biscayne Veterinary is the BEST! Dr. Jimenez and his fabulous team saved my baby's life. Sofia-Mamita is my 9yr old Shihtzu with kidney problems. A few months ago Sofia-Mamita was really sick, thanks to Dr, Jimenez & Joel's expertise, the love and care of Lenore & Keyla, Sofia-Mamita is well again. Biscayne Veterinary is clean, smells good and has state-of-the art medical equipment! I give them 100+++ stars!!!!! Thank you Dr. Jimenez, Joel, Lenore & Keyla for saving my baby's life!!!!!

Please stay away from this place for the love of your pet. It's shady and Dr. Raul Jimenez is a total quack and quite frankly a pet killer, not a vet. As in your pet could die in his sloppy care. I took my dog there for an emergency and he latched on to the theory that she has sand in her gut, a theory he developed when I told him I take her to the beach. So, he gives her a shot of cerenium, a shot of famotidine and 300 mL subcutaneous hydration. We go home and she is sicker than before, shaking and lethargic. I call he and he says her condition is normal. Then he says if I bring her in for blood work she most likely would have to stay overnight. It's clear Jimenez cares more about milking you for money instead of caring for pets. I decide to go to another ER where another vet looks at my dog's X-Rays and sees no sediment such as sand. BUT she sees major abnormalities in blood work-the same blood work Jimenez only wanted to do only if I pay him for overnight hospitalization. There wasn't anyone at jimenez's the clinic when I got there on Sunday so I don't think anyone even watches the pets overnight. I also found him hard to communicate with as in he didn't follow correctly what was happening with my pet. I understand some people don't care about it their jobs and only care about money but if you are caring for a living thing's health, then you really ought to put in more care. The whole place is very shady and I suggest you don't bring your pet anywhere near. read more

I took today my beloved cat to trim nails. All work well. Easy to park under the rain. And personal, facilities and service was very good. Thank you! read more

I am very grateful to have Dr Jimenez nearby to take care of my animals. I brought my twelve year old cat Snoopy for an exam because he had some chest congestion. While I was there Dr Jimenez also examined the inside of his mouth and discovered a huge piece of tartar that was irritating and removed it. This is an example of how he looks at the entire animal for signs to determine overall health. Veterinary care is expensive, the difference here is that your animal will actually be cured of illness and will have the potential to live a long life. read more

If there was such a thing as vet malpractice this practice would be an excellent candidate. I took my new adopted kittens for an examination, blood tests etc. and to check out a spot of missing hair on one of the kittens eyebrows. We were sent to a waiting room where two technicians came in. The male technician introduced himself by his first name. He briefly looked over the cats. He did not do any sort of real physical examination. He listened to the breathing of one cat And took the fecal of another cat. The cat with the missing patch of hair he looked at it briefly, concluded he did not know what it is. Told me it was not ringworm. And told me to wait a week. I told him I had a toddler at home and could not have a cat with a communicable fungus in my home. He gave me no answer. When I asked him to take blood from the cats he said no because they were too young. Finally A doctor open the door and asked if he was needed. I said yes I want to have the blood tested of these cats before my family gets attached to them and he said absolutely and told the technician that he was completely wrong in saying they were too young. He then left quickly. He did not come back to examine the cats or look at the missing hair and I left with $100 bill. I called back the next day to tell the secretary that I was dissatisfied with the vet had not looked at the missing piece of hair and I was concerned about it and that I wanted to get on the phone with the vet to perhaps send him a picture. She then put the technician on the phone who insisted he was a doctor, despite introducing him by his first name having no business card of his at the facility or wearing any kind of indication he was a doctor. I believe he was not telling me the truth and if he's a doctor he is not a veterinarian. He then told me again I had to just wait it out. Sure enough over the week the hair loss got worse. I took the kittens to a different vet who immediately told me it was ringworm, also told me one of the cats was a female which is something I did not know and that ringworm was extremely contagious and I had to keep them away from my child. And guess what, now I have ringworm. I would absolutely dissuade anybody from going to this practice. They do not have the doctor treating the animals and the technician who claims he's at dr clearly does not know what he is doing. A Waste of time and money. read more

My experience with Dr Jimenez has been truly an unexpected heart touching one. Professional and kind, he went out of his way to help me in a very difficult moment where I had to put to sleep my two dogs. He is definitely the vet that you can trust with your furry loved-one but also a man to be proud to know. read more

DON'T BELIEVE ALL YOU READ! I've read some of the reviews here and simply cannot fathom that we are speaking about the same place. We have two Yorkies who have had many issues to deal with. Starting from the week we moved to MIami two years ago, when our pups both had stomach and respiratory issues resulting from the move and stress. Dr. J saw and diagnosed them immediately, Dr. J and his staff are accomodating, loving and incredibly knowledgable. Our dogs are aging and have had dental, ringworm, tumors and a disease he diagnosed after six others could not, called Cushings disease. We have boarded our dogs with them and the care is always phenomenal. WHenver we have an issue, we get immediate attention and the staff follow up is usually impressive. Dr. J likes to explain everything in detail so we understand why he is recommending a particular procedure; he refers us to the literature, gives us his cell to call anytime, is patient and answers questions. He is the kind of vet who is a true diagnostician. He is kind, caring and a GREAT vet. His facility is clean and state of the art. Just don't see Dr. Suarez there... read more

Dr. Jimenez and Biscayne Vet Center took great care of our kitty. The facilities are beautiful and state of the art. They took the time to explain everything that was happening and give a realistic opinion of what to expect. I am certain that without the amazing care and attention they gave him, he would not have survived! read more

BVC really did a great job with my Great Dane TULA. I took her in for a procedure and everything went very well and smooth. The staff at the facility were kind and caring. The vet communicated effectively and really made it a point to go out of his way to make us feel at home. I will be using BVC again. I recommend this vet to anyone who cares for their dog. read more

I'm a winter visitor and the day after arriving, and a 1000 mile drive my Labradoodle went into health crises. My emergency arrival at the hospital was met with urgency and gentle efficiency. Everything about Dr. Jimenez, his staff and facility was top notch. Following the first day he even made a house-call when my dog had a set back. We thought she might not make it but she pulled through and at 13 is as good as new. The best vet experience I have ever had and I will be eternally grateful. Grooming at their adjacent Pet Place was also beyond expectations. read more

Dr. Jimenez is amazing and really genuinely cares about animals. I brought my dog Stewie in because he has an ear infection and has been in a lot of discomfort lately. He recommended an ear flush because there was inflammation and gunk in his ear but I couldn't afford to get his ears flushed along with the medication and visit so he just went and did it anyway because he knew it was right for my little Stewie. Has a such a big heart and I can't thank him enough!! The staff was all very nice and caring and it is a beautiful office! Thank you doctor!! read more

Went there in a panic w/ my gfs cat after it suddenly got sick....they spent a lot of time with him and were very compassionate when we wound up putting him down.......I then took my 2 old dogs there and they were thourough with them as well. Dr. J has been great with them and me....spent ample time just talking to me about how to deal with older dogs, and continues to do so even after we moved to Cali..... read more
