Yao Animal Hospital

Dr. Yao and his team are compassionate, patient, and extremely helpful. I brought my senior dog in after a disconcertingly mediocre visit with his original primary vet office in an acute emergency. Dr. Yao and his staff were prepared and very intent on the details of my dog's acute episode, and Dr. Yao was confident his condition was neurological. His staff wasted no time connecting me to a well-regarded neurologist and gave them details in advance of my visit. Dr. Yao spoke with me directly after the neurology appointment, demonstrating attention to detail and a dedication to patient care. I cannot recommend him and his staff more highly.

I love my dog and wanted the best for her health. She was suffering from periodontal disease and had a big infection in her mouth and gums...i researched many vets in miami and found dr.yao to have great reviews. I took my chances, and I am so happy and grateful of my decision to choose him. He is an amazing Dr who has expertise, professionalism a passionate love for animals. His staff are also amazing and they guaranteed me that everything was going to be ok :) My little Mota went through surgery perfectly fine and had some tooth extractions done. She is no longer in pain and is very happy!! They have great prices aswell!! Thank you Yao animal hospital for your love and care for my mota. You guys are awesome!!

I have a silly dog and a senior dog that are frequent flyers to Dr Yao’s office. The extensive waits in the car while their office still does not allow anyone inside have been exhaustive each visit. Even something simple can take 45 min-1 hour. Picking up prescriptions is a 15-30 minutes thing, I simply don’t have this kind of time to waste and I’m really getting tired of it! If you arrive on time you’re waiting a long time until they come take your pet and even longer to do billing and checkout after the exam. I hope the inside office opens back up soon so I can properly advocate for my dogs and also have a better administrative experience. If I’m spending thousands of dollars here annually I would at least like to accompany my dog to their visit and speak in person to the Dr. While I’ve never met Dr Yao after all these visits, the phone calls have been pleasant. He doesn’t push for extra treatments.

Updated: Unfortunately I have changed my rating. I know everyone is busy and we have to adapt to new circumstances. But more than ones I called to ask questions or follow up on a specific case and the reply was email the Dr. I email various times and never got a reply. So we decided to change Vet. Old Review. First time coming to the Vet for Yoga Vom Bustos. Due to coronavirus we had to wait outside. The assistant were super friendly and explained to me the steps and how the process was going to work. When Dr Yao called me he was super friendly and explained to me next steps for my pup and was interested in the dog. Felt like part of the family.

I have never met a vet and a staff so loving and dedicated to the welfare of animals. This hospital is by my office but very far from my home yet after bringing Dr. Yao a stray I found and seeing the care and love he and his staff put into caring for her, I now travel from Hollywood to Miami just to bring my other 4 dogs to him as well. Love this place. I kept both the stray and the Vet I found that day. That day was a great one in my book.
