I am a Business owner my self, and I am fully aware that MOST Reviews are BAD Reviews these days and few of them are Honest and Proper. Dr. Smith and His staff , the ER Doctor, Tessitore was incredibly knowledgable, He left no stone unturned, and provided immediate life saving care to our Aussie. Dr. Smith, the internal medicine Specialist properly diagnosed and treated our girl ,and in my opinion, professionally, he has no equal. The supporting staff, Heidi, Aaron and Stephanie were compasionate, competent and loving. Our baby was critical when we arrived, she is home 3 days later with a chance to survive. I would not hesitate to drive here again - a great distance for us, anytime, my pet needs proper life saving care. MY HIGHEST Reccomendation !!!! Our E.R. Doctor Tessitore, was even present at discharge. This is an incredible organization.

Review for Dr Christiansen and team. Went to him to have my dog's back legs operated on standard…read moreluxating patella. He messed up both legs so badly that I had to go to a different vet both times. He's obsessed with stem cells and once you get the surgery he then tells you the stem cell success rate is so low. Complete waste of money. The staff couldn't tie bandages properly and my dog lost circulation. They took no ownership of any problems. The quotes they provide are garbage because the next day the rate for X-rays went up triple the price. They said he needed psychical therapy but couldn't provide an estimate. They wouldn't refill a pain killer prescription for my 8lbs dog after 6pm, even though the doctor said a note was in the dogs file. This place is a joke avoid at all cost.

I can't thank the doctors and staff enough for the care they gave my dog. From the moment we walked…read morein, everyone treated us with professionalism and kindness. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure my fur baby was comfortable throughout his visit. I've read reviews on this facility. In my opinion, the negatives don't add up. First of all, nothing is charged until you sign off on the services agreed upon. There is no surprise billing. Second, it's an emergency hospital, and yes, everyone feels their animal's illness is an emergency, which is why they come to the hospital. What they need to understand, like any ER/ED, the most crucial gets seen first. Keep up the good work :)

She set clear expectations pre-surgery about the risks/recovery period & was quick to respond when I had post-op questions/concerns. She went over all the discharge instructions line by line and even took the time (after a long day) to walk Lucy out & provide guidance how to safely lift her into my SUV. Lucy's incision has since healed (she initially wore a cone and then surgical recovery suit 14 days), her skin color has normalized, and appetite returned. She's a happy girl! Thank you Dr. Eginton and Animal Specialty & Emergency Center of Brevard Team!

Although I was here for several hours 12:30-6am, my cat was cared for and gently handled the whole time. They were relatively quick with the tests they ran, and everyone was knowledgable and extremely kind. They do xrays on site and are able to triage several pets at one time. There are at least 3 doctors I saw, and so many vet techs who seem to love what they do. I really appreciate all that was done for my cat. I attached my bill as well to my review. Although kind of expensive, it is worth it to have my cat be alive and well. They did give me a discount, again, they were very kind. Base visit is $180 and anything additional will be added in a quote they will show you before more care is applied to your pet. They see cats and dogs, as well as other animals and exotic animals such as birds/rabbits/bearded dragons/etc. I would definitely come back here if my cats were in distress.

As soon as we walked in they took him back and we were in a room within the first 5 minutes. Overall, we ended up spending about two and a half hours here. The front desk staff was friendly and so was the vet. The technician was kind of cold but it was late at night so maybe that attributed to it. Also there was a dead cockroach in the bathroom and a lot of dust and pet hair in the exam room. My youngest ended up needing to take allergy medicine when we got home because of all of the dander. That's why I took one star off. I do like that they have a treat area for people who are waiting for their pet.

I've sat on doing this review for a month but I will share my experience. I think having a true…read moreemergency vet is extremely important and I commend all the staff for this difficult job. My experience - extremely long wait. The pricing is insane but they are your babies so you basically just take a deep breath and sign away. My animal wound up needing emergency surgery after sitting there for about 6 hours. I was told the estimated price and the deposit needed. I did ask if they had a payment plan which the tech said "no it must be paid up front" which later one I realized that you can do care credit so I didn't appreciate that that wasn't recommended as an option for me. So I gave them $5,500 as a deposit and was ready to visit with my baby before leaving. As I was visiting they approached me and told me they didn't have what they needed for my cats surgery so basically I had to bring her up to UF animal hospital 2 hours away. They did refund about $3,900 back onto my credit card for the surgery deposit. I started my journey with my cat at 10am and didn't get to the UF hospital until 6:30pm. It was an extremely long day I'm proud of my girl for getting through it. All in all I would obviously go back to this hospital for an emergency just know the wait will be long, the price will be high, AND you can definitely apply for care credit and use it the same day. I was immediately approved at the other hospital and used it that night to pay for the surgery.

The wait was FOREVER but when we finally spoke to a vet she was kind, caring and offered us a lot…read moreof support. We arrived at 7:45pm on a Tuesday night and didn't leave til well after 11:15. The only thing that really irked me was they told us we were "next" at 9:45 and we still weren't seen for close to another hour. I get how triage works, so we were patient. This place is definitely an ER for life or death type emergencies, at least 1 animal was put down while we were there tonight. I really don't think a lot of their negative reviews are fair.

A few months ago, we brought our yellow-headed Amazon, Gerald, to Aloha Pet & Bird Hospital after a…read moreterrifying freak accident. Unfortunately, we ended up losing him that day, but I've wanted to come back and leave a review because of how much the compassion we received meant to us. The veterinarian took the time to explain to us what had happened and reassured us that this truly was a freak accident. She explained that even if Gerald had already been inside the hospital when it happened, there would have been nothing they could have done to save him. As heartbreaking as that was to hear, having that explanation gave us some much-needed closure and helped us understand that there wasn't something more we could have done differently. Gerald wasn't just a bird to us. He was part of our family, had a huge personality, and was incredibly loved. Losing him so suddenly was devastating. Throughout everything, we felt like the staff understood how much he meant to us and treated both Gerald and our family with kindness and compassion during an incredibly emotional situation. Of course, I will always wish our visit could have had a different ending, but I am extremely grateful for the honesty, reassurance, and compassion we were shown that day. When you're experiencing one of the worst moments you can go through as a pet owner, the way you're treated stays with you. Thank you to the veterinarian and everyone at Aloha Pet & Bird Hospital who was there for Gerald and for us that day. We'll always miss our Gerald.

1/5 - Very disappointing experience…read more I brought my black swan, Pandora, to Aloha Pet & Bird Hospital because she was seriously ill and I was desperately trying to help her. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. The prices were very high, and despite her condition, Pandora was sent home without receiving the treatment or medication I expected. She passed away approximately two hours later. What made this experience even more upsetting was that afterward, the hospital contacted me and admitted that the sample they collected could not be processed because of the swab applicator they used. They asked me to bring Pandora back to collect another sample, but by then she had already died. I paid for this test expecting it to be collected correctly the first time, especially when dealing with a critically ill animal where time matters. I also had difficulty getting the test refunded. Initially, a credit was placed on my account, and I had to request that the money actually be returned to me. The facility itself is very nice, but based on my personal experience, I was extremely disappointed with the medical care, communication, prices, and handling of Pandora's case. When someone brings in a beloved animal in an emergency, they are trusting the veterinary team to take the situation seriously and provide the best possible care. For my experience, I would rate the care 0/10. I would not bring another one of my animals here.

They are always so polite and work as hard as they can to help every animal that comes in. Service is based on severity of an animals condition, same as a human hospital. Some people get so mad because they have to wait, sometimes for hours. But take a minute to think about it. If you have a pet that was hit by a car and needed immediate medical attention, would YOU want to wait until it was your turn! While watching them help another animal that maybe had a broken leg. I GET IT, as an avid pet owner who loves her dogs, no one wants them to be in pain! I have gone there with a life emergency and was seen right away with surgery required. Other times I have had to wait for hours. I am good with it either way! Folks complain about the cost, yep, it's expensive but again, how much does it cost to go to the emergency room for humans? Plus, most of the people that work here also work at regular vet locations. Do I recommend them? You bet I do!!
