How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bird Road Veterinary Clinic

Preventive care

No price clarity at all. I went in to check my cats eye, doctor starts checking out his ear? And proceeds to run a test to check his ear (it was fine) then charges me 30$ for the test and 15$ for ear solution without telling me a single thing about it costing more money. They took excellent care of the cat I just wish pricing was a bit more clear as I told them prior to the visit that I was on a budget. The eye medication was 25$ the appointment costed 112$. Pretty Ridiculous.

I called while the doctor Garcia while she was at lunch saying I was on my way with an emergency with my dog. Jennifer the receptionist said ok.The receptionist called me a half an hour later when I'm five minutes away to tell me both doctors are in an emergency and will not be able to see my dog. Shameful c the doctor has a receptionist tells me to go to an ER vet. Are you crazy they're going to charge me $500 just to walk in the door when you are open. She has a new doctor working with her all he does is like to do bloodwork on everybody that walks in through the door. I took my dog for an ear infection and he wanted to charge over $1000 of teeth cleaning, blood work. I went here to Kendall Pointe/ miller Road they took me with open arms!! And I didn’t get ripped off either!! Blessing in disguise. BTW my dog was an emergency too! I wasted precious time. Max passed away..

I hate to brag about this place because I want this place all to myself. Dr. Garcia, Humberto, Cristina and Jennifer are truly the kindest best people you will ever meet. I have a Pittbull and they handle him like he is a poodle, and my Pitt is not easy!!!! This alone speaks volume because there are Vets that think can handle him but can't even take the heart rate from him. I drive 40 minutes to see Dr. Garcia. I have probably 5 Vets within 7 minutes from my home and the far drive is worth it for my dog. You will receive the best care here in all aspects of your animal life.

Dr Garcia, Umberto, Jennifer and Jackie are always there when we need them. Our senior dogs are there frequently and they are always treated with the utmost care. I highly recommend their services. Umberto always helps me get our big guy max out of the car and always gives words of comfort from experiences of his own. Jennifer and Jackie are always courteous accommodating and professional. Dr Garcia will take the time to properly diagnose, and explain everything to you. You will not be disappointed. As long as you follow through with their treatment plan. Your babies will be on the mend.

The care is good (what matters most), but they really need to fix their scheduling. Every time I’m here for very minor/simple check ups, it takes well over an hour each time.
