Excellent veterinarian!!! Great for emergencies! Kind, caring and compassionate. Very knowledgeable and patient. Genuinely cares about your concerns. Highly recommend!!! read more

Yes, he is a bit unconventional; There are no exam rooms; no assistants; You walk in to the building (one patient at a time). And, he sees you in the reception area. My cat is so calm and content with him. Never hisses, like she used to do in the exam rooms when she saw the other Doctor. He weighs her; examines her and she sits on his lap and purrs. That's contentment. He takes all the time you need. We kibbitz a little and I am thoroughly assured that my gorgeous cat " Layla" is on the right track. I highly recommend Dr. Art Malernee! As far'' as I'm concerned, there is no better. I like him as a person and I love him as Layla's vet. And best of all, Layla loves him! read more

Malernee Art DVM - Layla loves Dr. Malernee - Veterinarians Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

I've been seeing Dr Malarnee for 7 years now for 4 of my different breeds of dogs. He is an excellent diagnostician and never ever overcharges for anything. as a matter a fact he is the most reasonable vet I've ever been to. His office isn't fancy and he works alone by appointment but that allows him to keep his fees reasonable as you don't pay for the overhead of other vets. He will always be very honest with you about what is necessary and what isn't for your pet. Pamela Maraziti. read more

I am so glad I found Dr. Malernee Art. My big staffordshire terrier was having nose bleeds and brought him in. The office is by appointment so no hassle or commotion getting your dog inside and it's not stressful and you have zero wait. As soon as I got in the door doc sat on the floor with him and found the problem within seconds. Infected tooth in the very back that I couldn't see. Got my antibiotics and made an appointment for the following week to have his teeth cleaned. Everything went seamlessly and a extremely fair and honest price. He doesn't have a big fancy office or a whole staff to pay for so you get affordable pricing and one on one care with the vet the entire time. I wish all vets were like this! Highly recommend!!!! And his teeth look amazing!!!!!!! read more

Malernee Art DVM - Veterinarians Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Dr. Malernee, Did excellent job diagnosing Ponder's problem. He has cyst causing seborrhea. I thought he had skin cancer. No expensive biopsies we're needed. He then suggested cleaning Ponder's teeth. I was nervous, but he said he never lost a dog to a teeth cleaning. Despite the examinations, injections, and dental procedure - Ponder seems to like and trust the vet. He isa gentle dog, but he doesn't wag his tail and greet everyone, as he greeted the doctor. To be fair, I don't think he even felt the injections! The doc is that good Prices were very reasonable. I wish I didn't have to drive the 17 hours from Southwest Louisiana to see my favorite vet. read more

I am a big fan of Dr. Malernee. He was recommended by a friend who uses him for her dog and cats. My first experience was accompanying my friend when she needed to put her very ill cat to sleep. Doc was very caring and compassionate. I love that he and his office have an old time doctor/vet feel. Its just Doc, not a huge staff of techs and admins and specialists who need to jack up the price to justify their existence. For several years now I have brought my dogs and cats to Doc for regular visits and emergency visits. We always feel like we are getting fabulous care from a vet who doesn't believe in pushing his patients into every test on the planet to make money. And I love a vet who sits on the floor with his patients. He gets down to eye level for the exams. He also is very straight forward with his diagnosis. If you are needing glitzy, high-tech vet care, this is not your guy. But if you want real, personal, compassionate vet care with a no-nonsense approach, I highly recommend Doc Malernee. read more

I moved from Miami to Delray a few years ago and took my pups to a vet in Boca who proceeded to load me up with unnecessary meds and tests for a skin condition of my dog. Not only did the meds not work (all $250 of them), but they also caused harmful side effects that were not brought to my attention in advance. I tried Doc Malernee because he had been referred to me and was extremely pleased. He does not like prescribing medications, and has a genuine love for the dogs. He also identified the problem with my dog's skin correctly on the first visit, without any expensive tests or medications. There are more than a few Boca vets who put $ first, and your dog's health 2nd. You don't have to worry about that with Art. Even though I moved to back Miami, I still drive my dogs to Delray for any vet needs. If you truly love your pets, he's the guy to go to. read more

Dr Malernee does not examine your pet in an examining room.instead he examines him on the floor in the outer office. He insists the floor is clean. My pet deserves a clean examining room and a sterile exam table. Anyone who calls himself a doctor should insist on this. also there is no staff, no nurses,etc. dr Malernee is a I have no confidence in this one man show. He operated on my dog and released him after just a couple of hours. My dog could not walk because he was still under the influence of the anesthesia. Not good! He deserved time in the office so he could be professionally observed. I have no confidence in Dr Malernee, the grounds surrounding the building are full of weeds up to my knees or higher. When I changed doctors , dr Malernee refused to send my new vet my dogs records. Not only that but he screamed and swore at Dr Angel who is one of the best vets I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Dr Mallernee is a fraud and should have his license revoked! read more

Wish I could give this doctor a negative 5 star rating. I woke up to hives all over my dog who was screaming in pain and suffering, we called the on call doctor and when we arrived before even asking what the problem with the dog is he asked where he money was, when we told him that he needs to call my mother to get her credit card information to cover any payments necessary he opened the door for us and told us to go somewhere else. I wouldn't let this doctor touch ANY of my pets even if he was the last vet alive. Clearly he has NO intentions in trying to help a suffering animal. DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED PETS HERE! And when we tried calling him again after everything he wouldn't even talk to us on the phone. Absolutely disgusting behavior. Not to mention that I found quite a few more reviews very similar to mine about this doctor. read more

Malernee Art DVM - Veterinarians Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

DO NOT GO HERE, or visit the Dr wherever he practices. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER! First of all the facility is filthy in every way, down to the torn up asphalt and weeds as you pull up. I had an a highly distressed puppy, with extreme breathing problems which wound up to be life threatening. But DR. ART MALERNEE WAS ONLY CONCERNED IN GETTING PAID! He spent a considerable amount of time loading up unnecessary information into his computer system while my pet is in critical condition. I was holding a 5.5 week old puppy that was highly distressed and all this man cared about was his payment. He DIDNT bring us into an exam room or do any proper testing on my dog. He looked in his eyes and ears WITH NO TOOLS sitting in a chair in the waiting room!!!!! He recommended me leaving him there overnight with NO diagnoses or recommendation of what he was planning on doing (I'm sure going back to bed was his plan) He basically took my money, looked at my dog in the waiting room and sent me on my way with his business card! I felt worse and more scared of my pets condition after seeing this careless, greedy man! He shouldn't have a license to practice. HORRIBLE MAN read more

I'm going to second the most recent review. My dog has been riddled with skin problems her whole life and is terrified of vet offices. Dr. Malernee was prompt, professional, and Lily wasn't petirifed for once. His costs are extremely reasonable, and his bedside manner is lovely. I would recommend him highly. read more

Best vet I have ever been to. He is real animal person that truly is here to help your pet and not rob your pocketbook. He is honest and friendly and actually gets down on the floor with your pet and is not afraid of getting licked or jumped on. Great in times of emergencies and if you ever need medical records you simply request them online. He has a small cozy office and no receptionist but in return you get one on one time, you are not rushed or shuffled into a small waiting room to sit and wait. Yes you have to call and leave a message to make an regular appointment but you get call back immediately and you will never go to another snobby Boca/Delray vet again! Thank you Dr!! read more

I took my chihuahuas here to have their teeth cleaned and some pulled.I was very happy with the service.The cost was more than reasonable and I was very happy with the way he handled my dogs.I would def refer my friends and family to him.The one man operation is not a problem for me.The reasonable prices make it easier for me to take my animals more frequently if needed. read more

Great vet! I've been bringing my dog here for years very down to earth excellent service.

I went to the office the day after Thanksgiving and when I got there he seemed a little gruff, but when I explained that my dog had a cough and I didn't know what to do, he asked if I could pay the office visit fee. After that he was nice and attentive. He really cared about my dog. He started asking about my dog and even gave me some advice and told me stories about his dogs and his experience. Overall, he was very nice and took care of my dog. I would've given him 5 starts but he wasn't very nice when I first came in. read more

UNHYGIENIC, VAGUE WITH ANSWERS, I DO NOT TRUST THIS VET. We took our pet on an emergency visit to see Dr Malernee, besides the fact that he was extremely vague and dismissive about telling us what could be wrong with our pet, he did not even take proper hygienic precautions before he touched "sensitive" areas of our pet with his un-gloved hands. What I think this doctor really cares about is money first, animals second. His main concern was payment, then additional money for "treatment". Treatment, that only after questioning and probing again and again to finally get some sort of a straight answer...was not even necessary. This was a horrible, scary, frustrating experience. I just don't understand why he was so hesitant to discuss what could be wrong with our pet? Why couldn't he give a straight answer? Why did we have to rephrase our questions a thousand different ways to try to get some kind of helpful information? Why didn't he wear gloves? All things that very much concern me and make me feel terrible for bringing my pet to this vet, especially when, in the end, we didn't get any real help or answers, and had to go to another vet to get our pet the care that was needed. read more

I only take my cats to him. They cuddle on his lap every time they go for their visit. his office is small yes but he is always on time for appts and I never have to worry about other people and their pets in the waiting room scaring my pets. He doesn't believe in doing random tests and vaccinations just to make a buck! That's the best part. He gives you great advice on how to keep your pet happy and healthy without being pricked and probed unnecessarily just to leave you with a grossly high bill. So far so good. read more

It is never easy to need to deal with an ill family pet. I called this practice mainly because the website had all of the prices listed up front and because of this I would not feel taken advantage of as with other vets. Dr Malernee called me within an hour and saw our Boxer Scout. He was very kind and always called me back immediately. I thank Dr Malernee for his humanity, understanding, and knowledge. We had to say goodbye to Scout and we will miss her but we are thankful for Dr Malernee who helped us through the process. read more

Great vet! Needed emergency care for my dog on a Saturday night. Dr. Malernee was at home, but met me at his office and took care of my pet. No rush job here. Very good with my pet, the kind of Dr. who gets right down there on the floor and comforts my dog, not just hurry up and "treat". Seen a lot of that in Boca/Delray. Very good with follow up care as well. And not that it would have mattered at the time, very reasonably priced. Will be bringing my other dog there now too. read more

We have been taking our poodles to him since early 1990's. We, including the poodles, think he is just absolutely wonderful! He does not do unnecessary procedures, medicines or vaccinations. He is warm and kind and the best vet you can find. We heartily recommend him to anyone who needs a vet. We would never take our pets to anyone else! read more

The experience that I had at this place was completely horrible. The vet was too concern with getting the money approved and getting paper worked done. I took my baby to Pet PB instead, where they provided her with immediate attention and were actually cost effective. He wanted to charge me $600 for treatment plus the $100 dollar emergency fee. He even had the nerve to tell me she was not going to make it in a very nonchalant manner. He had not even checked her vitals. I am happy to say that thanks to me walking out of there and taking her to a better place my baby is doing well this morning. read more

This is the worst vet I've ever been to and the reason I'm writing this review is because he can also potentially hurt your animal. I went there because of the reviews on this site and had an appt. at 4:30 today. The place looks deserted.There was no staff there and no patients. The vet sat on the floor in the waiting room and looked at a little dog I just found on the street yesterday and without checking him for heartworms, put a whole capsule of Revolution on him. I asked him why he did that since I didn't request that and I have heard that it's dangerous without checking them for heartworms first and he said it's not dangerous anymore( this was disputed by the vet I took him to as soon as I left there and he washed it off because he said it could be very dangerous if he does have heartworms). I asked him why his tail didn't have any hair and he said he didn't know. I asked him to check him for worms because he had blood in his stool and he said no he couldn't do that. That I had to bring him a sample of his stool back and then he wanted to charge me for that also before I left. He made me pay for the Revolution and the office visit but I'm going to dispute it.I had to rush him to another vet and he was great! it turns out this little dog is full of hookworms and has a horrible tooth infection and an infection on his tail.That's why he was bleeding poor little thing! The vet said that he's never seen so many hookworms.Thank God he saw him and treated him today.The name of this wonderful office is Boca Delray Animal Hospital (561)900-0687.I recomend them highly! Please for your animal's sake avoid Dr. Marlenee!!! read more

I originally took my cat to Dr. Malernee a few months ago when I found blood in her stool. At that time, Dr. Malernee was patient, professional, and extermely friendly. Although it did concern me that he did not have a staff assisting him, I dismissed these concerns since I was so happy with my impression of him. On Saturday, my mother was scheduled to bring her cat up from Davie (all the way in Broward County). I was going to meet her there since I live a few minutes away. I arrived first (ten minutes before the appointment). Dr. Malernee opens the door and says: "8:00?" I say, "I am sorry?" He says, "your appointment, was it for 8:00 o'clock?" I inform him that my appointment is for 8:30 am. I then notify him that I will complete the intake paperwork on behalf of my mother since she had yet to arrive. He quickly informs me that my mother will have to reschedule her appointment because he would not wait for her. I call my mother and ask her where she is and when she will be there. Dr. Malernee is talking while I am on the phone with my mother and again informs me that we will have to reschedule. I notify him that he already refused to see us later in the day when I spoke with him on the phone and I inform him that my mother will have to take the cat to another vet if he refuses to wait until she arrives. He says: "good luck with that appointment" and walks in the back of his office leaving me alone in his front office. He just completely dismissed me. Ironically, as I was walking out of his door, I look at my watch and my mother still had five minutes to arrive. He cancelled my mother's appointment before it had even lapsed. I left feeling offended and confused. I am shocked at his change in demeanor from the first time I had met him and am surprised he is able to maintain a practice treating customers this way. I will never again bring my business back to him or entrust a pet to his care. I am truly disgusted, but take partial blame since I had read negative reviews about him on other websites and dismissed them following my last appointment with him. Shame on me for not taking those other negative reviews seriously. And shame on Dr. Malernee for being so rude. I was pleasant with him and did not deserve to be treated so poorly. read more
