Dr. Anne Murphy is my dog's vet. I had an old dog that had heart issues that other vets were not able to help with. They told me different things, but she's the one that was able to diagnose and treat it. He lived alot longer due to her services, and I can't say enough wonderful things about her. Dr. Murphy is incredibly thorough and makes sure that you understand what's the best thing for your pet. She always calls personally and lets you know what the results of any testing or any follow-up instructions that might be useful. She's very professional and knowledgable; she's a teacher at the hospital as well. Sometimes there's a bit of a wait, however, I believe it's worth it for the care provided. I have two puppies now, and I take them to her. I recommend this animal hospital to anyone.

I have used Hollywood Animal Hospital for over 25 years. The Drs. Dee are the only vets my cats and dogs have ever had. When it was time to let my 16 year old Keeshond go, Dr. James made it painless and fright-free for him. I can't say enough good things about the Dees and Dr. Sessa. The staff is wonderful and caring. I would advise new patients to pick one vet and try to stick with him/her. That way, they get to know your animal and what's the norm for him or her. I don't really like seeing the brand new vets very much, but that's because I have such a long history with the Dees and Dr. Sessa and have such trust in them.
Description of Work: Blood testing for my 15 1/2 year old cat, who has diabetes and a thyroid condition. He also had suspicious lumps which were tests and determined to be a recurrence of Mast Cell Tumors for which he was treated five years ago.

My 2-year old Persian kitty developed an ulcer, it all happened around midnight so their 24-hour ER truly saved us. My cat was in pain and rubbing his eye severely. The doctor diagnosed a small line in my cat's eye (that I thought was just hair) as an ulcer, cleaned it and gave the necessary meds. Chunky's eye did not heal as quickly as we expected, actually it's still healing and we've seen 3 doctors at HAH, but the doctors did everything needed for my cat to recover. They even suggested sending him to an eye specialist if I felt it would be better and it was my decision to stick with this animal hospital. Great service, great attitude!
Description of Work: My cat was treated for a superficial corneal ulcer.

We checked on Angieslist and they had very good ratings. They were great, but too far for us to go regularly. They had a 24 hours emergency site and they had all kinds of specialties there. So we wouldn?t hesitate to go there is we needed to. It was not bad at all to get an appointment there for my dog for the surgery. We talked to some other people who had their pets in similar situation and they said that the price was in line with what everybody else was charging or paying.

My cat is fully recovered and I am grateful to have found Dr. Grasso.
Description of Work: After many years of looking for a good Vet for my multiple cats I found finally Dr. Grasso at the Hollywood Animal Clinic. One of my cats had a serious abscess and she treated my cat with compassion and skill. Not only was she extremely reasonable but she is an excellent Vet with a big heart for animals.

VERY busy place but will work you in as needed. Knee surgery could not have been better. Sessa did several procedures and said to get right up there when I described a problem with my lab - and it turned out to be lymphoma. Sessa's skills got me an extra year with the dog I loved so much. Sessa moves at the speed of light, and is always booked, but he will do what's needed to care for your pet. If that's where the police and bomb squad dogs go, you know there's a reason beyond convenience or low price. There's even a cosmetic surgeon on staff for ear cropping, etc. There's always a crop of interns and post-docs who come there to study with staff vets. It's very beneficial to us that education is part of the way their business is run. They are the best for really big problems.
Description of Work: Dr. John Dee for TPLO (knee surgery for torn ligaments) and Dr. Thomas Sessa for surgeries and cancer treatment.

Cat exhibited symptoms of ill health-vomiting, odd urination. We took him to see Dr. Bradburn at HAH and he correctly diagnosed the problem. He sedated our 30 lb cat and successfully operated on him. He has made a full recovery. Additionally, we were guided on how to prevent this issue in the future.

Hollywood is fantastic, even the Miami police department takes their dogs there. They are very friendly and caring about pets. They are prompt and competent and I especially love that they care enough to always follow-up with a call to inquire about the pet after they are home.

Hollywood Animal Hospital sells the medication at a lower price than what you'd pay on-line. They offer emergency services as well. This can be very important if you have a problem out of hours. I think everyone here is professional and courteous. It's a big clinic.
