Dr. Gonzalez was our vet for many years and treated our pets with live and care, we originally chose Him because we knew in the future we were moving to Japan and asked every vet of they can do the paperwork and none of the vets we called from west palm to homestead had any idea of what we were talking about or just out right refused because they said it was too complicated, when we called Fort Lauderdale veterinary center they knew exactly what we were talking about and confidently said they can handle it. The added bonus was they were a great, friendly and knowledgeable facility and all our visits were handled better than anyplace we been to prior. Needless to say we moved last month and everything was good and in order and made it through the airport without a problem and with how stric

On behalf of Island Paws Rescue: Since May 2023 we have chosen FLVC any time our fosters are in Fort Lauderdale. From puppies to rescued street dogs, from routine care to intensive treatment, every pup has received quality care, and every foster parent has reported pleasant experiences. Appointments have been easily scheduled. Coordination with foster parents has been smooth. Care has been thorough and kind. Some of our foster fails have even become FLVC clients! Thank you Dr González & the FLVC team!

This is my 3rd attempt to share my negative experience without Dr. Gonzalez publishing my name number and home address without my consent that i gave to him confidentially during our visit. Dr. Gonzalez if you wish to reply please do so professionally without posting my information without consent. I had a terrible experience with Dr. Jose Javier Gonzalez (License # VM9470).

After a negative review was posted, Dr. Gonzalez publicly shared private client information online. This behavior appears to be an attempt to intimidate clients into removing unfavorable reviews, and we later learned this has

I do not give Dr. Jose Javier Gonzalez consent to post or share my private client information in any attempt to silence or retaliate against my negative experience. (This is my FOURTH attempt to share my bad experience without being doxxed by Dr. Javier Gonzalez) STAY FAR AWAY. Dr. Jose Javier Gonzalez (License # VM9470) retaliated against my one-star review by publicly posting my private client information, including my full name, phone number, and home address. This was clearly done as a fear tactic to intimidate me into removing my honest review. I later discovered he has done this to multiple other clients as well. When I asked him to remove my personal information, he responded, “you can do that,” implying I should delete my review if I wanted my information taken down. Out of fear

Dr. Gonzalez and his team always make me feel like my dog is in the best hands. The technicians are attentive, remember us, and it’s a pleasant experience for not only me- but my dog as well. They care, take pride in their work, and it shows.
