I'm so grateful to Dr. Prosek and Florida Veterinary Cardiology. Last year, when I first brought Rocky, he had an enlarged heart, respiratory issues, and was at risk of heart failure. Less than a year later, with the care and treatment plan from Dr. Prosek, Rocky's condition improved more than I could have hoped. His heart enlargement is now very mild, he's breathing well, and there is no evidence of congestive heart failure. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my boy. read more

Words cannot express the immense gratitude that we have and feel towards Cardiologist, Doctor, Prosek. I have a Plott Hound that was not even one year old when I noticed something was not right. His normal symptoms were very off. He was showing signs of not eating, lethargy and overall discomfort. I thought perhaps it was a toy squeaker he had ingested, and I took him to the vet. Upon an ultrasound and x-rays, there was no obstruction in his digestive system rather they found something far worse they found an idiopathic pericardial effusion. His heart was failing him and that was diagnosis my baby had. He had collapsed twice and almost taken away from us. I reached out to the Dr. Prosek on a Sunday when he collapsed from the ER where he was hospitalized overnight and we kept in communication till the next day where he saw him right awayand knew exactly what medicines to put him on and what steps we needed to take. We and our Bandit are so absolutely grateful to have fallen onto the hands of Dr. Prosek. He took our puppy from almost death to a beautiful, healthy heart. Thank you so much Dr. Prosek sincerely Millie, Adriel and Bandit! All of the medicines, treatments and suggestions made him a beautiful healthy big boy today! Thank you, Doctor, Prosek! read more

I took my beloved Shepherd collie mix to Dr. Prosek many years ago. She had congestive heart failure. We saw him at his office in Homestead. He was fantastic! I can't say enough good things about the way he treated us and our pet. Her stomach was so bloated she couldn't breathe. He removed fluid with no pain. Allowed me to stay with her the entire time. He was wonderful with her. I took her one day at the end of the day as an emergency. She was in pain. It was time to say goodbye. He was very compassionate. I held her until the end. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. I was very grateful to have found Dr Prosek to treat my pet. He's an excellent Dr. read more

After my two dogs were diagnosed with heart murmurs a few years ago, I started to entrust them to Dr. Prosek and his team. From the start they have been knowledgeable, educational and caring with my four legged fur balls. Medication has improved their condition and services have come at a fair cost, for a veterinarian specialist. The office is small, so you may encounter wait times when calling or in office, but it is worth it knowing my two pups are well cared for by Dr. Prosek's caring team. read more

Dr Prosek and his whole team have been just the best. They have been taking care of our dog's heart condition for the past year and they are always unfailingly patient, kind, and caring for our guy. I have had to call multiple times to adjust his meds as his condition changes and they walk me through each step every time. I also love that they have an after-hours answering service for emergencies that gets back immediately. And their recommended pharmacy delivers everything to right my door. Please don't hesitate... you won't regret it. read more

Wow! is all i can say. Dr. Prošek knows his stuff! From his incredible bed side manner and the way he immediately knew what was wrong when other vets didn't. I cannot recommend enough!! i did wait however not long and i didn't mind to get the life saving answers i did! :) Thank you Dr P!!! read more

Dr. Prosek and his staff are really great! My cat had a heart murmur and needed an echocardiogram. Needless to say I was really worried about her! Dr. Prosek explained her condition to me, drawing out a graph so it was easy for me to understand. He was friendly, kind and you can tell he really cared about me as his client and my kitty! I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Dr. Prosek has been great with my dog. He's very patient, him and his team explain absolutely everything in detail. When you're in the room, their complete attention is on you and your pet. I will absolutely keep bringing my dog here for her cardiology appointments as they've already helped so much. Worth the wait! read more

I was referred to Dr. Prosek by my wonderful regular veterinarian for an evaluation of a heart murmur he detected in my dog. I took my dog to Dr. Prosek's Homestead office in February 2023 for an echocardiogram. I never saw Dr. Prosek, but the tech told me the results were great and to follow up within a year. Prior to my second visit in November 2023, I forwarded the first results to my brother, a veterinarian in another state. He had them reviewed by a specialist, who advised me to find a different cardiologist, as the results from the first visit showed an alarming abnormality in fractional shortening. I had the second echocardiogram done at Dr. Prosek's Miami Beach office. This time the results showed normal fractional shortening. I asked the tech about the discrepancy and he said that it may have been due to a malfunction in the equipment in the Homestead office. When I asked why I was never contacted about the abnormal results, he had no explanation but said he would review the slides from the first visit and contact me. I requested a call from the doctor (whom I still had never seen). I received zero follow up from either the doctor or the tech after making several more calls to his office staff with the same request. Aside from the lack of diligence and professionalism, I have serious concerns about the reliability and accuracy of his office equipment and procedures. Needless to say, I'll be finding another cardiologist for my dog. read more

After one heck of a roller coaster ride of emotions this week and not knowing what was truly wrong with my baby Dr.Prosek not only gave us hope he walked us through each step and throughly explained what was going on. He gave us a game plan and how we would obtain each step. Hearing his conservative approach and how he cared about Skyler being put through something that wasn't necessary yet melted me and it was then I knew God had given me the best cardiologist in Florida. My dog whines anytime she is nervous when doc touched her she stopped whining she trusted him immediately. When I say the best I mean the best. Skyler and her mommies are so grateful for Dr.Prosek!! read more

Long story short... my cat needs an echocardiogram. I made an appointment for last October, but had to reschedule for January (their appointments are like 6 months out). They texted me 2-3 times in between, trying to confirm appointments for OTHER people's pets, so I already thought they were disorganized. Cut to today, the day of my cat's appointment. I thought it was weird that they didn't confirm, being that the appointment pricing starts at 600$. So I called in the morning to confirm for 4pm. They have absolutely no record of his appointment. I understand that mistakes happen but 1) we've been waiting for months 2) I'm concerned for my cat's heart so I can't wait 6 more months 3) I took off from work to attend this appointment that I was offered over the phone when I rescheduled last October and most importantly 4) now I feel they're completely disorganized. The lady on the phone was rude on top of it, and wouldn't even look into what might have happened because they have "so many clients and records." When she offered the cancellation list instead of an appointment in June (we won't even be in miami then and also that's 6 months away), I asked how many people would be ahead of him of the list and she said something to the effect of "that's not really relevant." They should take this lady off of the phones. She has no people skills or empathy. I mean we've been waiting MONTHS here. So the cancellation list isn't a reasonable solution. They MIGHT have an opening that, depending on my job, I MIGHT be able to go to, and I see from other reviews that the doctor doesn't even always show up. But to me, the worst of all is that she couldn't apologize for the mistake. She was like a robot to talk to though, so not sure why I expected her to have a heart. We can just find someone else, since this guy has "so many clients" and all. read more

This man should lose his license to practice medicine!!!!! My fiancee brought her sick dog to see this clown after waiting months to get in, and he didn't even show up for the appointment that she waited hours for. He sent his student intern. When she went back later that day after having to rearranging her entired day, the doctor told her if she had a problem she could leave. Not a single apology or acknowledgement. So she did. I never leave reviews, but this is unacceptable. read more

My Chihuahua, Chiquitica, was diagnosed with a heart condition a little over a year ago and her vet sent us to Dr. Prosek for treatment. Dr. Prosek was honest from the beginning in setting realistic expectations for us, and we were extremely happy with the results of his treatment plan. Since then, the condition has improved and my baby's heart is now normal size. Her condition will not go away entirely, but is manageable. Dr. Prosek is very empathetic and his love for animals is evident. read more

Dr. Robert Prosek should not be allowed near animals or customers. I don't mind spending more money at Dr Foster's clinic because her and her staff are usually so sweet. After spending two hours waiting to bring my dog home, I finally got a chance to talk to the cardiologist. He start snapping at me before the conversation even starts and then he tells me he's refunding me my money and that I can never go to him again and then I have to go up to Hollywood to find a canine cardiologist. Guess what, buddy? You're not the only canine cardiologist in South Florida!!! You have no right to snap at people no matter how long your day is. If your day is that long and you're that disorganized, maybe you should try a new profession read more

This doctor is worth his weight in gold! My dog has had heart issues since she was born and not one vet in the tri county area could help us! Over a decade ago I started to visit his office in homestead, north broward, Miami Beach, basically where ever he is I will follow. He is so compassionate as a person and he actually gave me a tutorial on what exactly was wrong with my doggie. This Dr travels all over so his patients are not forced to sit in South Florida traffic. God knows all his patients are willing to drive to Key West if necessary but he bends over backwards for his clients! Again can't stress enough that his Dr has a heart of gold!!! I have had to deal with so many condescending vets that at the end of the day can't even give a diagnosis. This Dr is a cardiologist with years of experience not to mention his father is a respected vet and professor so he has the passion in his blood! I thank all my lucky stars that I found Prosek and I can continue to see my precious Stella everyday! Noel and the young lady whom are his assistants are the sweetest most down to earth individuals. Again so many grumpy unqualified techs out there but the Dr and his staff are a solid A plus plus plus plus! I am not the easiest person to deal with when it comes to my doggies and I can honestly say the Dr has never once exhibited poor manners. I do everything he says to a t though and he knows my dedication to his instructions. It is worth every penny for me he has an ultrasound machine that can detect and measure any issues in the heart. You can see the images live with him in color and while watching he explains what's going on. So not only is he qualified but he has the technology. So unfortunate that pet owners throw good money away with vets that are clueless, that was me with my previous dogs. I will not hesitate to say he is the best Dr in our area, he is probably up there in the country! He does get booked so plan ahead! read more

EXCEPTIONAL!! Dr. Prosek and his staff are AMAZING! The level of care provided is Exceptional. Dr Prosek is brilliant. He has saved and treated many of our dogs.

Find another doctor!!!!!!!!!!! I waited TWO MONTHS to see this arrogant man, Dr. Prosek. I arrived this morning for my appointment at 11am. I was greeted by his intern at 11:43am. When I asked where Dr. Prosek was to which he replied "he's not here and coming later." I said, "I'm sorry, but I waited all this time to have my baby see Dr. Prosek and I would like for him to be seen by him." I was told to come back in an hour. When I returned I met with Dr. Prosek and kindly said to him, "if you don't mind, before we get started it's 1pm and I set up an appointment to meet with you, not your intern, and I know you're busy, but I waited two months to see you because my dog isn't well and this is very important to me." Dr.Prosek replied saying "if you have a problem you can go elsewhere but I'm a busy guy and I have a life, that's how it works here." So I left without my dog being seen. I find him to be a nasty, arrogant and insensitive man. It's very sad that he has such little regard for peoples time and people's animals. I'm sure that way of being translates into his medical care. read more

My experience with Dr. Prosek has been extremely positive. My little chihuahua mix was born with a congenital heart defect and fainted on me several times. Needless to say it scared me to death. The first vet cardiologist I took him to put him on atenolol, a beta blocker, but he continued to faint occasionally. I was informed he'd need an operation to open up the defective valve in his heart. The pressure gradient of the blood flow through the valve was incredibly high, about 220. Dr. Prosek recommended adding Benazepril to my dog's medication regimen. His pressure gradient dropped to 150, a full 70 points and the kind of results you are lucky to get with an operation. My pup has not fainted since starting his new medication regimen. He is not cured, of course, but his condition has stabilized and Dr. Prosek has educated me on danger signals I need to be aware of. Dr. Prosek is very professional, friendly, and cordial as is his staff. I don't recall waiting an undue amount of time during any of my appointments. In fact, I trust Dr. Prosek so much I drive all the way from Pompano Beach to South Miami so he can treat my pup. read more

I am not going to say that Dr Prosek is a good doctor nor am I going to say that he is a bad doctor. However, I will simply state the facts. Monday, Aug.5th I called his office to notify them that my dog was having an episode. I was hoping they would be able to advise me on what to do. I was told someone would call me back within 30 minutes. After no return phone call I called again and was told that they did not believe it was a cardiac issue therefore no one would be returning my call. Tuesday morning I took her to her regular Vet (Dr. Marta Lista at Trail- AMAZING) for observation. It was concluded that she would need further assessment. After over an hour of being left on hold and hung up on five times I finally got through to Dr Prosek's office. I begged and pleaded for an appointment, and thankfully received a phone call a few hours later with a cancellation for the following day. Thursday, Aug.9th at 4:45pm Dr. Prosek examined my dog. She had a blood clot in her left atrium of her heart. Thought this wasn't a cardiac issue????? My dog was brought out to the parking lot where I sat and waited for 3hrs. I was told that Dr. Prosek was going to give me a call to discuss his findings, treatment, and care options, .....I'm still waiting for his call. Today, Aug. 10th my best friend, my service animal, my kids first pet is dead. read more

Dr. Prosek and his staff are simply amazing. My dog, Bella, has been a patient for almost a year and a half and he saved her life.

They return phone calls swiftly and do everything possible to help you and your pet. I would not entrust Bella to any other cardiologist. Thank you Dr. Prosek and staff for keeping Bella healthy and happy!!! read more

June 15th, 2017 To Robert Prosek DVM and Staff, I do not know how to begin to let you know how grateful I am for your caring and that of your assistants. We tend to value the man because of the richness accumulated and the acquired power, when the true value of a man is shown in how he responds in difficult times. You are very fortunate and "never forget it". You have had the opportunity to study a wonderful career and to become a triumphant professional. Two things which are realized do to the place where we are born and at the same time by fate. The are many who never make it even if they try very hard. Your tenderness and gentleness in this, so difficult, time in my life will be with me until the day I leave this world. You helped me and pleased me so Aurora will die in my arms how she deserved, due to the love she gave me throughout her short life. Your medical attention allowed her to live a complete life, she will have turn 15 on July 4 this year, a life which I surrounded by care and love, which you also helped me give her for a longer period, thank you. Your life begins now, believe me, because at your age is when we start really living. I know there is a great future awaiting you, a future full of adventures and success and I also know that a little piece of Aurora and myself will be there with you at every victory. May God be with you always and may he enlighten and bathe your heart with wisdom, health and love, so your heart will never suffer the hardening that comes with time and life's disappointments. May you live a long life full to happiness and love. Thank you and God Bless you Maria Antonieta Basulto read more

Dr. Prosek is a hero to me and my fur babies. He is always available to help us when in crisis. He has the biggest heart and is an expert in his field. I recommend all my friends to seek his expert advice. I have trust issues, and I trust this doctor with my eyes closed. He will fight along side you to help your fur baby have more years with quality of life. Thank you Dr. Prosek for the kindness and compassion you have always given to us. read more

We were referred to Dr. Prosek by our regular vet due to a heart murmur. We have a 3 1/2 year old male boxer. Our appointment was scheduled at the South Miami location. The entire staff was friendly and kind and gave our dog lots of love and attention. Dr. Prosek and his team were wonderful. They spent nearly 45 minutes with us, going over information, discussing our dog's condition and on what we should and should not do. I never felt pressured to have tests done, to the contrary, Dr. Prosek said it was not necessary. I did decide, for my piece of mind and a baseline, to have an EKG done. The EKG was done in the room with us present and where the Dr. could show us and explain what we were looking at. And, while not cheap, the bill at the end was reasonable and what I expected for having that kind of test. Luckily for us, our dog's murmur was not severe and he was given a clean bill of health. Overall, an excellent experience! I would highly recommend Dr. Prosek. read more

Dr. Prosek and his staff are heaven sent, and the most compassionate team I have ever met. My 11 year old Shih Tzu is still alive today and is going to be turning 12, because of their expertise and optimism in providing the best treatment and care. They have managed to help control her syncope attacks, and constrained the tumor behind her heart from growing any larger with proper treatment, care and observation. Dr. Prosek and his team are so educated, and amazing at what they do. For those individuals who have pets who have issues with tumors, seizures, syncope attacks, etc go visit Prosek. Most doctors advise that when pets are already at this point that putting them down should be considered so the pet won't suffer. All I can say is the Prosek proved otherwise. I now know that anything is possible with proper treatment, giving your pet lots of love, and having an amazing doctor backing you. I consider him the Dali Lama of Pets. He is knowledgeable (more like the best), optimistic and incredibly positive. His staff is great and extremely knowledgeable as well. I want to give a special thanks to his assistants Noel, Lindsay and Alejandra for all they have done and continue to do. Thank you again for your patience and for being so amazing at what you guys do. They have helped me out through this whole process and have continued to do so, and I can't not be grateful enough. They are a true dream team. I am so happy that my little baby girl, in which Dr. Prosek named love bug is fortunate enough to have a doctor like him monitoring her through her condition which is very serious. There is always hope and Prosek proved it. read more

By process of research I found Dr. Procek online for the treatment of our 9 year old pomeranian. I was at my wit's end going from vet to vet trying to treat our sick little guy. It culminated with him collapsing and being treat at Aventura Animal hospital in which they triaged him and got him stabilized. I have to say that the care and treatment there was excellent. About 5 months prior to all this I had been given a referral by our regular vet to a veterinary cardiologist in cooper city who told me that he had a grade III heart murmur and that there were no changes and to re appoint in 1 year! Five months later our dog collapsed and had to rushed to the ER. With all that said I am a practicing dental surgeon and know in the world of medicine you don't go from being stable and ok to collapsing!!! I had to get another point of view which brings me to Dr. Procek. Reading up on his background of being a professor at UF and a staff vet at Miami Zoo the medical side of me said to see this doctor. Practicing myself for 26 years I've worked with many physicians, good, not so good and everything in between. All I can say is Dr. Procek is what I would call "A doctor's doctor" My appointment with him was at the Miami Beach Animal Hospital where he sees patients once a month so needless to say I had to wait to get an appointment. The appointment was for 5:30pm and I was seen about 6:45 (a long wait!) However once I got to see him I understood why the wait. From first speaking with his vet tech to his actual exam and assessment his thoroughness, patience and knowledge superseded even human cardiologist's exams! Not only did the first cardiologist not diagnose and treat our dog properly but he was being treated incorrectly. Dr. Procek performed a detailed in-office echo cardiogram with intra-cardiac pressures and pulmonary pressures and determined that in addition to his cardiac issues he had life threateningly high pulmonary hypertension. He immediately changed his course and type of medications and in office gave him an oral dose of Viagra which it turns out as Dr. Procek so detailingly explained was the drug of choice to get our "son" back on track. Dr. Procek spent no less than one hour and a half with us on the exam and treatment, following up with dispensed medications and written explicit and detailed findings and directions. On our drive back home within 30 minutes of Dr. Procek giving an oral dose of viagra, I watched my dog finally in a relaxed state from the effects of the medication. Again after practicing 26 years I can say that Dr. Procek not only knows his profession well but his passion for his patients absolutely shines through in every aspect and I cannot recommend him enough.

My Rottweiler, Noah, was diagnosed with a tumor in his heart and severe pericardial effusion in March of 2015 by Dr. Prosek. He has been our cardiologist ever since. Yes, my 11 year old rott is living with his disease almost 2 years later thanks to Dr. Prosek and his wonderful team! 6 months after beginning treatment, Noah was back to throwing around his full-sized truck tire and going out snorkeling with me! Now there's a lot we do at home to help his body cope with the stress of heart disease and reduce its effects on the rest of his body, all of which came from the thorough explanation of the effects of this disease by Dr. Prosek. He is a vet that truly believes in educating the parents (it really takes a lot of the fear out of it when you understand what's going on), and has supported me treating the rest of Noah while he manages the heart. He is wonderful to work with, clear in his explanations, and honest about all prognosis so you always know where you and your baby stand. There has never been a visit Noah and I weren't together for the entire visit, like we are 24/7 in our lives. Noah loves the team there, and is so comfortable with Noel that he falls asleep in his arms without sedation during his heart tap to remove the pericardial fluid buildup! (We love you too, Noel!) After almost 2 years, they feel more like family than vets--to me and to Noah. We had originally gotten the diagnosis of heart failure from his main vet...also found his liver to be 3 times its normal size and in failure from the extra stress of the heart disease. He was given 30 days max to live in February of 2015. Thank god we also got a referral to Dr. Prosek! Here we are now, enjoying life and all its precious moments to the fullest still at the ripe old age of 11. I couldn't be more grateful to the staff there who saved Noah's life. He is my service dog and best friend, and I'm thankful every day to know he has the best care out there with people who genuinely love him. Thank you, Dr. Prosek and staff, for giving us another shot at life! We would've missed a lot of beautiful memories if we hadn't found you! read more
