This has been my family vet for the past three years for our precious Chloe girl. Our dog could be very particular, as she got nervous easily, but the folks here were always so kind to her and thorough with their examinations. Nobody ever wants to think about losing a pet, but last month my family and I said goodbye to our 16-year-old cuddle queen, and Silver Bluff Animal Clinic was with us every step of the way. They took so much time to explain our options and what was going on, and ultimately made one of the worst days easier to navigate as they treated us with empathy, caring, and patience. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, and you can tell that they love what they do. Thank you to the team at Silver Bluff, you are truly wonderful. read more

This is how he handles himself...unprofessional at best! August 23, 2025 Ted S. You should be ashamed of writing this review like this. You think that you are empowered by writing this in a public forum, but it is not going to get you anywhere. We are a reputable clinic with a reputable staff which care about animals and we care about our work we take a lot of pride in it But things go wrong and it's not always our fault you admitted that the other dog was playing and sutures break they're not indestructible. We had this discussion you left Happy. The wound was sutured closed in an appropriate manner that you feel that you were mistreated. We would've been happy to help if you would've come in with a nice attitude and we would've done our best to make sure the situation was dealt with. Instead, you and your mother felt That you should scream and you feel that if you scream the loudest it will get heard. Unfortunately, you ended up spending more money at another place which did nothing more than what we did initially. I wish you could see life a little bit with a happier lens instead of a bitter lens, thinking everyone is out to get you. Buddha is a very nice dog and I wish him the best. This is my response....the wound was never closed and i have the pictures to prove it. you sent the animal home with a gaping open wound, no collar and no antibiotics. lets just wait for the lawsuit to settle and see what objective observers think. it is you who needs to be ashamed...you are butchers not vets! Defensive denial is their go to! read more

Dr Sanchez and team at Silver Bluff Animal Clinic are phenomenal. They are professional, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. They are friendly and take there time to answer all questions. I've been bringing my babies here for over 14 years. They are the best. I have confidence knowing they are care for by the best and provide the best routine care through annual exams, to being there in urgent situations. Very easy 5 star review. Would give more if I could! very Highly recommend!!! read more

Silver Bluff Animal Clinic - Exam room - Veterinarians Near Me - Miami, Florida

Our dear Buddy Boy was with us for 16 years, starting with Dr. Sanchez and his amazing team and everyone throughout the years. I can not thank everyone at SBAC enough for for always being attentive and having Buddy's care as #1 priority. Buddy passed 5.20.25, there at SBAC, surrounded by his family, all the love and kisses we could give, and in living hands. Through broken hearts and many tears, we saw how gently everything was handled. We were never rushed and allowed to grieve, SBAC hurting too. An amazing group. Last week we received a condolence card, personally signed by each member at SBAC. Thank you. From all of the de la O Family read more

Silver Bluff Animal Clinic has been our trusted veterinary home for nearly 10 years, and I cannot express how grateful we are for the exceptional care they provided to our beloved dog throughout her entire life. From puppyhood to her senior years, every visit was met with professionalism, kindness, and genuine concern for her well-being. The veterinarians and staff consistently went above and beyond--whether it was routine checkups, unexpected health issues, or simply taking the time to answer our many questions. Their medical expertise is outstanding, but what truly sets them apart is the warmth and empathy they show to both pets and their families. We always felt heard, informed, and supported. Most recently, we faced the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our sweet girl after 15 beautiful years. The team at Silver Bluff handled this incredibly emotional moment with such compassion, gentleness, and dignity that we will forever be thankful. They created a peaceful, loving environment for her final moments and guided us through the process with patience and understanding. Their care made an unbearable day just a little more bearable, and we will always remember that kindness. Silver Bluff Animal Clinic has been a constant source of trust and comfort for our family. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a veterinary team that treats pets like family and delivers exceptional care at every stage of life. Thank you, Silver Bluff, for everything you've done for us--and for our girl. You made a difference in her life and in ours. read more

This was my third visit. The first visit was good. The second visit was not. I was told that my puppies that were a year and a half old needed to have non anesthetic dental cleaning. Today they were nice enough to make room for my dog who's been struggling for two months with mites. The Assistant came in to get the History and talk to us about everything. She was incredibly compassionate and kind. Then the vet walked in. I think her name was Vega. She was argumentative and condescending she was trying to tell me that my dog had fungus or bacteria which makes zero sense since both of my dogs have it and I was actually bit by the mites myself. I guess it was obvious that I wasn't happy so they sent the Office Manager in too try to frame me as a difficult person. And then I told her I didn't feel comfortable with the vet, and why, and she told me I would still have to pay for the appointment. Obviously, all they care about is money because as a doctor myself, I would never charge someone who was not happy with my approach. I left and went to another vet who confirmed that my dog had mites and the bill for the visit was half of what Silver Bluff charged me. read more

Dr. Sanchez has always been great with my pup. no complaints about HIM. I drive from Broward to see him. Unfortunately, I'm told he's only there part time. They are the most expensive I've been to, yet the clinic is rough looking, situated among dumpsters, with limited and uncomfortable parking... I think they feel it's "charming". But more importantly, they rarely pick up the phone, you end up on hold for a while, then a recording asks you to call again and hangs up. I had to keep calling. When I finally got someone, I told the guy my dog was in pain and he was licking on the wound. He said Sanchez was not in; I said I'd see anyone; He said take a picture or video and email it and then he would decide if maybe he can get me in the following day. Seriously, if they don't take urgent cases, I get it, just say so. That way if my dog needs immediate care, I know not to call here. If all you want is physical and you don't mind going through a series of bureaucracy just get the appointment, paying high prices for "charming", and waiting about 3 weeks to get in... You should be fine. read more

We really wanted to like this vet clinic, especially since they had such raving reviews. We moved to Miami a little over a year ago, and took our dog here for preventative care, such as vaccines and his annual checkup. They were great about all of that, and had fantastic COVID safety measures. The only downside for these visits was that they were a bit slow- they wouldn't come to get him from our car until at least 15-20 min after our appointment time. Recently, our pup's paws started to bother him. So much so that he was often limping because they hurt him so bad. It seemed like they were much worse after daycare, so we thought they may have been related. We were able to get an appointment with them so that they could look at his paws, and they didn't see anything wrong with them. As the situation continued to persist, we sent plenty of photos and described the situation to Silver Bluff Animal Clinic, and their suggested treatment was to send him to daycare in booties, or not send him at all. He is a 2 yr old Golden Retriever/Lab Mix- he has ENERGY! Not going to daycare is not a great solution for him. Also, these paw problems appeared out of nowhere- he had been going to the same daycare for over a year and had no problems until now. My husband and I noticed that his paw pads looked exactly like Hyperkeratosis. We brought this up with this vet clinic over email and they kind of just brushed us off..? We requested another appointment with them, to show them what we were seeing in person, but had to wait a MONTH AND A HALF for the next available appointment. That was just way too long- something was happening to my pup and I wanted him seen ASAP. We went to another vet in the area for a second opinion- they could squeeze us in the next day! They saw his paws and immediately knew that something was going on. After blood work, a paw pad skin biopsy, and a bacteria culture, we finally knew what was going on- he had a bacterial infection. We put him on the appropriate antibiotics and it completely cleared up! So, needless to say, I am very disappointed with how Silver Bluff Animal Clinic handled everything, and that they didn't seem to believe us when we said something was wrong with him. read more

Silver Bluff has been everything we'd hoped for in a veterinary clinic. We began coming to Silver Bluff when we adopted a kitten off the street, Pips. I scoured the internet for local wholistic vets and Silver Bluff was the only one. I personally love stepping into the clinic. It doesn't feel sterile and cold like a doctor's office. It's homey and comfortable with a garden out front and an open layout inside. The staff is all very sweet and the vets are extremely knowledgeable and advise with information and are never pushy about their recommendations. We now take our 1 year old mini dachshund Bee to Silver Bluff as well and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Can I just say the KINDNESS in customer service, what an angel she was. I found a baby kitten and didn't know where to bring her. Unfortunately the doctor was out at the time I called but she gave me great advice moving forward with my situation. Thank you for your passion for helping animals, it truly showed. read more

Silver Bluff Animal Clinic - Giving this baby a chance - Veterinarians Near Me - Miami, Florida

Teddy is no longer a patient at Silver Bluff. He is not my pet but belongs to my family. What happens to him affects all of us, and everyone should be aware , it could be your fur baby too. Pets are our family. Therefore, I have kindly requested today through email the medical records for Yogi Acevedo Veliz who is my pet( my baby) . I just want his records so I can make a change. On wait is my request for Yogi's medical records also me being fired as a client, or rather me looking for a better place for him. Choice your words wisely as there is never accountability. Thank you, Claudia Nicole Veliz read more

UPDATE: Giving an average review on yelp (3/5 stars) and honest feedback as a client led to them emailing me today and telling me they were "uncomfortable" and that they were were cancelling the upcoming appointments I waited months to schedule and have. They also followed this with another email sending my mother's dog's records as they are apparently firing her as a client too despite her not being clueless to anything I complained about. Be careful not to go here, and whatever you do, don't recommend them to your friends or family because apparently giving honest feedback results in them taking vindictive action against not just you and your dogs, but also uninvolved family members you recommended to them. read more

Excellent, knowledgeable staff who can actually coordinate and communicate with each other to take care of the animal-patient and answer all questions from her "grandma." read more

I'm incredibly selective and diligent about my cats' care, and I truly feel this is a well deserved 5 stars. Firstly, I understand the reviews re getting appointments and getting through on the phone. They're busy and could use more admin support. A lot of places in Miami struggle with this right now. To me, other aspects of the clinic outweigh the minor hassle. Booking a morning appt well in advance is ideal. Second, I also understand comments that you don't see Dr. Sanchez. I didn't get the best vet (she was a temp) my first visit. I spoke up about this and now I get a lot of time with Alex who is incredible. I also get more face time with Dr. Sanchez. He's very involved and present before and after if you schedule surgery. What makes this clinic the best based on my research and visits to other Miami vets in my opinion: They don't push unnecessary meds, vaccines etc. And encourage a great diet. They also respect the owner's intentions. I've found them on board/supportive with my natural less invasive approach. If your pet has surgery, they diligently follow up multiple times via email and answer in detail to your concerns. If you have questions re care / food generally, Dr Sanchez or team email you detailed replies/recommendations. Alex is amazing. He's kind, patient and explains things clearly. All the staff love animals and treat my cats gently. The ladies talk to me about my cats' personalities at checkout, so it's evident they take the time when handling them. My cats always return for subsequent visits without seeming stressed or afraid of the clinic. The clinic is calm (compared to other clinics) and staff go with the flow. They help out with extra things that arise, extra requests.. Their site referral list on multiple topics is helpful and reliable. Most importantly - Dr. Sanchez replied to my email immediately and called me ON A SUNDAY while I was at an emergency clinic unexpectedly and wanted his opinion. THANK YOU ALEX, DR SANCHEZ, ELISA & JULIE for all your kindness to Bella & Boots read more

Silver Bluff Animal Clinic - Bella & Boots love Silver Bluff - thank you! - Veterinarians Near Me - Miami, Florida

Dr. Sanchez seems to know what he's doing but can he be arrogant. The other doctors in the practice are ok but they keep changing. Nurses and assistants are friendly. Waiting time is very long. The inside of the clinic itself is clean and well maintained but the outside is dirty. There are feces on the ground and the plants in the parking lot are overgrown and badly in the way. read more

I'm not one to normally write reviews however, I wanted to give SBAC their due credit as they saved my dog's life this week. She got very ill with HGE from one minute to the next and from the moment I took her in to SBAC everyone from the nurses to Dr. Sanchez were nothing but amazing and caring and they didn't give me unnecessary BS like other vets I've been to in the past. Their diagnose was spot on and my dog immediately got better under their care. I am SO grateful I brought her here and SO grateful to her amazing nurses & Dr. Sanchez & Fasano cause honestly I was devastated thinking I was going to lose her. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone. BOOTS says THANK YOU! read more

I started with Dr. Sanchez when I adopted our sweet girl when she was a year and a half old. Until recently I found them caring and compassionate, and Dr. Sanchez was very informative and believes in the most natural approach- the past few visits I have seen a different veterinarian. They are difficult to get on the phone with Scheduling and then my sweet girl got sick last week terrible vomiting and diarrhea. I called Saturday morning knowing they have hours after she was so sick on Friday and was told they were too busy to see me but I could send them an email. I foolishly listen to them got a response to my email late afternoon Saturday. She continued to be sick on Sunday and it wasn't until a friend gave me some medication from his vet for exactly the same issue that I saw improvement- not going back there. Don't expect any immediate attention if your pet is sick. oh, and they really push dental cleaning, which I'm sure cost the fortune. I've had dogs all my life and never ever complained about a veterinarian until now. read more

Best vet I've ever taken my dog to and I've tried many vets! Cali had puppies and the doctor called me to make sure everything was going good without me even asking! Only vet that I don't feel rushed while visiting! read more

Best vet in Miami. I've spent thousands going to a bunch of different vets and none is as good as this place. Relative to Miami prices, this one is much cheaper than others I've sent my animals to. Also, I've changed all our pets diets to raw/full carnivore and seen drastic improvements in the health of all my animals. They never get sick anymore. read more

Called in because my senior cat is very sick and wont eat or drink. The woman on the phone was rude and said they are very busy and not seeing any other animals for emergencies. First and last time I contact this place. Find somewhere else that actually cares. read more

Excellent animal clinic. Professional and compassionate staff. They always treat my dog with great care. He does not mind going to the Vet! That says a great deal. My dog is almost 16. read more

This veterinary practice is AMAZING. I had an amazing first experience here. I was able to call & make a quick & easy appointment for my pup. Upon arrival, I was seen in about 10 minutes ! Amazing staff, very professional & nice. Maria and Raychel were SUPER helpful & extremely patient with my puppy. The Veterinarian that examined my puppy was very thorough with information & even showed me how I can look for signs of discomfort in my dog. Very professional & very nice guy. He even went an extra mile and took the time to go over healthier diets for my pet. You can just tell these people are very passionate about their job & they know their stuff ! Overall, GREAT experience. I definitely recommend. read more

Dr Sanchez and Silver bluff have been taking care of our dogs since we moved back to Miami 5 years ago. Our oldest dog is over 18 and all of our dogs are above 10. Sadly we had to euthanize our oldest girl during covid, who first got very sick the night of Thanksgiving. They've always been there for us). Dr Sanchez is exactly what I want in a medical professional, he's smart, patient , compassionate, responsive, thorough and will absolutely explain to your level of understanding. He can speak in highly clinical language or down to earth. We've probably sent them at least 20 emails over the years and he always responds back immediately. Dr Sanchez is a class act and everyone that works there is the same, just awesome people. And they're very much appreciated. read more

Too busy, too many clients to give proper attention. When I told them I was going elsewhere I was scolded rather then a professional response that would keep the doors open for the future. I'm sure long time clients have solid experiences but this one is not for the newcomer. read more

Last year, my dog suffered from a cluster of seizures that left him in a state where my judgement at the time led me to believe that it would be best to have him euthanized after a couple of days. I asked Dr Sanchez for his opinion and after an extremely brief assessment of about 10 minutes, which I wasn't present in the room for due to covid, he agreed. I regret that decision to this day to go through with it. I understand I am ultimately the one to have made the choice, however I believe guidance for this was given far too lightly. At the moment, he told me step by step what would happen to my dog's body throughout the procedure as if I would find it interesting. The best light I can describe his bedside manner at the moment is that he simply wanted me to be educated on the process, however as distraught as I was it came off as lacking empathy. read more

The staff is quite friendly, but lots of issues with taking my dog here. 1. They are super busy, so to get an appointment, you have to book days, if not weeks in advance even in case of emergencies. 2. Because they are so busy, expect to wait 1-1.5 hours. 3. They have many rooms/stations. One doctor to see all the animals. He passes around and only spent 5 minutes with my dog 4. Ordered a bunch of tests, and kept recommending more and more tests, even paid extra for a vet radiology specialist to give an opinion, and still did not provide a treatment plan for my dog. Some $800 later... 5. Expensive. Really expensive, and as mentioned above, not worth it. Took my dog elsewhere, she was treated right away, feeling a lot better already. 12-14 years ago when I first took my dog there, this place was great. Used to get much more personable treatment. Then I moved and used another vet in my new area. Recently I moved back in the Silver Bluff/ Gables area and was disappointed to find this place changed so much. read more

We just moved to Miami and we were looking for a vet. They had a same day appointment which was huge! They fit us in and we're incredibly friendly. The vet walked us through a few different options for treatment and made us feel comfortable. We'll definitely be back! read more

My Pom had a good experience there. The Clinic looks very homy and has good atmosphere; the staff is super friendly. Nurse Alexa was amazing, I could tell she genuinely loves animals. Dr Daniel Rothen was great and professional. read more

What happened to this place? We have been going here for 5 years + and something over the past year has changed. They use to be so caring but now all we are is a number and a payment. I was crying because I got terrible news about my dog and the blonde woman Dr. was so cold, almost laughing at me. She got nervous and just said I have to go. Wow! In the past this wouldn't have happened. They are very heartless now. I think it's time to find a new Vet. read more

This vet clinic is absolutely amazing. They will never suggest or prescribe medicine for your dog if they don't truly need it. The care they give you pet is incredible compared to any other vet I've been to (quite a few) and worth every penny. The only downside I can think of is that it's difficult to get an appointment less than a week away, they're usually swamped. I would be thrilled if they expanded their capacity with more of the same quality vets. read more

I have had the best experience at Silver bluff animal clinic. I have taken my 4 mo. Puppy Gordon Setter and my 7yr German shepherd numerous times. The thorough care and intentional conversations that I have had with Dr. Sam have been the best. I have never had such a great experience like this at a vet, it's truly top notch at Silver bluff. They are busy but are SUPER accommodating and if you come at the time of your appointment, you are seen right away. This is my #1 vet recommendation to my family and friends in the Miami area. read more

I am pleased to announce the reviews about this clinic are accurate! I wanted a friendly vet closer to my home in the grove and read how great this clinic was on Nextdoor app. The vet that took care of my Brittany was Dr Johnson. She and her assistant were very friendly and didn't try to over sell me with options like almost every vet. The actual office is also very nice. Think hippy dippy pet retreat. Check this place out, u won't be disappointed. read more

We are so grateful to the Dr. Sam and all the vets and assistants at this clinic. They gave so much love to our dog and to us when our dog was in her last days. Bama (our 12 yr old boxer) had been to this vet throughout her years. She always had great experiences there. She was a healthy dog overall and we luckily didn't have too many visits until the end. This clinic never turned us down and just showed us so much compassion. They are truly animal lovers and when it was time to say goodbye to our baby they helped her go in the most peaceful way possible. The energy there is healing and if you need to take your babies anywhere please let it be them. We are forever grateful to them. read more

Such arrogance and lies from this doctor. So happy that I decided I no longer wanted them to care for my dog and requested his records. Now I know from all previous reviews he's a liar because he did not "fire me" as a client. Laughable. Your ego can't resist to comment back on negative comments but you can't even be bothered to thank the ones who left you nice ones read more

From the moment my wife and I started bringing our first puppy here, we were treated with nothing but compassion. The level of service these doctors and staff provide is comparable to no other. We actually ENJOY bringing our pet in for checkups. I could go on and on about the incredible environment and genuine love every employee there has for animals, but the epitome of why we love The Silver Bluff Animal Clinic can be summarized by our experience last night: My wife and I took our six month old puppy to the beach for the first time and he unfortunately swallowed a couple mouthfuls of sand. He was acting a little lethargic and we were concerned. We took our dog to the closest E.R. because it was Sunday evening and we had no other option. We were told our dog was desperately in need of an overnight plan and we were given an extremely large bill for multiple services. While my wife and I were panicking and, frankly, having emotional breakdowns, we shot various concerned emails to The Silver Bluff Animal Clinic. Please keep in mind, this was a Sunday evening and we had absolutely no expectation that those emails would be answered until the following day. We were just terrified and desperate. Within the hour, Doctor Sanchez was calling us FROM A HOUSE CALL. He took the time to speak to my wife and I about what was going on with our dog. He calmed us down, provided us with information, and even offered to take a look at the X-rays. Doctor Sanchez was able to tell from the X-rays that the sand our pet had eaten had passed any concerning areas. The overnight stay and other services on the inflated invoice provided by the emergency room were not necessary at all. Not only had Doctor Sanchez taken the time to read our emails and respond to our concerns, Doctor Fasano also took the time to take a look at the X-rays and send us equally compassionate and reassuring correspondence regarding our pet's situation. Both Doctors agreed our dog would be fine so we immediately retrieved him from the emergency room. As predicted, our pet was back to normal by morning. We are beyond grateful. The Silver Bluff Animal Clinic saved us a great deal of money and saved our pet from unnecessary procedures. These people really care about you and your pet and it's obvious from every interaction. I would recommend no other health care provider for a pet. I genuinely wish they treated humans so I could change my own general practitioner. read more

It's been a while since I brought my chihuahua to the vet, so when he started acting a bit off, I was on the hunt for the best vet in Miami. I turned to yelp and decided to go with Silver Bluff. It was an amazing choice! The staff was great and super patient as was the Vet. I like that they don't force unnecessary vacciations (they look at risk of each dog). They also focus on the whole dog (food, activity, etc.) as opposed to just the medical side. I am so excited to have found Silver Bluff and will be back whenever we need. As for prices, any vet visit hurts the wallet, but I liked that they are very upfront so you don't get shocked with more than you had expected. It definitely makes it easier when you know what to expect from the visit and each procedure. read more

Silver Bluff Animal Clinic - Super cute inside - Veterinarians Near Me - Miami, Florida

Came here for a second opinion on my cat. They gave a different diagnosis, and we started him on medication with the new diagnosis. Turned out this was the correct diagnosis and helped out my cat a lot. Seeing better, more energy and not peeing as much. It does take a while at times, which is why I only gave 4 stars, but if it wasn't for that, I'd give them 5 stars. read more

From the very first time I walked into the door of this veterinary clinic I got a very good feeling from the staff that I was greeted by and how they approached my dog. They don't charge unnecessary fees or do unnecessary inspections on your animal. They also do a very thorough job of looking over your animal while getting a check up! read more

Dr. Ted Sanchez and Allyson were amazing with my cat on her first vet visit. My partner and I quickly decided that we would keep this as our primary vet for Frida. It is very evident that Dr. Sanchez is truly invested in his work and extremely knowledgeable. Would have taken my late dog, Cookie, here if I had known of it sooner. Please do your fur children a favor and start bringing them here. read more

Given that my first review (also five stars) was over 9 years ago, it only seemed right to come back and rate them five stars again. All of my dogs have been in the amazing hands of Dr Ted Sanchez and now in the equally awesome hands of Dr Fasano. The entire team at Silver Bluff continues to be beyond wonderful, empathetic, honest, supportive and always helpful. The staff is always kind and you can always trust the doctors will give you the most sincere advice for what is truly best for your dogs. read more
