Pet Surgery Center of Fort Lauderdale

I came to Pet Surgery Center of Fort Lauderdale for a second opinion about my 11-year-old French Bulldog, who needed a small tumor removed from his mouth for biopsy and also had to get a few teeth extracted. From the very first moment, Dr. Steele was nothing short of amazing. She understood how anxious I was—especially about the anesthesia and the biopsy—and she was incredibly empathetic, caring, and patient. She took the time to explain every single detail of the anesthesia protocol, the procedure itself, and what to expect afterward. Her calm and thorough approach gave me such peace of mind and made me feel confident that I was doing the very best for my dog. The surgery went perfectly, and my pup was able to come home the same day. Dr. Steele provided very detailed discharge instructio

I have an older pitbull, Blondie, and Dr. Steele has been nothing short of amazing with her. Many veterinarians hesitate to treat her because of her breed, but not Dr. Steele, she treats her with such patience, compassion, and love. She goes above and beyond to make my very nervous girl feel comfortable, even taking her for a short stroll down the block to ease her anxiety. Dr. Steele removed a melanoma from her chest and reassured me every step of the way that my dog would be in the best hands, and she absolutely was. I stayed in the waiting room the entire time, and the staff were so kind and understanding, constantly updating me and reassuring me that my dog, Blondie, was doing great. I’ve never encountered a veterinarian as open, loving, and genuinely kind as Dr. Steele, she’s truly

I’m not someone who usually writes reviews, which is why it’s taken me almost two months to finally sit down and do this 😂 —but the Pet Surgery Center of Fort Lauderdale absolutely deserves it. My French Bulldog, Lola, needed anal gland removal surgery, and my regular vet quoted me over $5,000. I had just lost my job. I couldnt afford this. I was stressed, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do. From the moment I contacted the Pet Surgery Center, everything changed. Dr. Rachel Steele, vet tech Theresa, and the entire staff were nothing short of angels. From scheduling the appointment to explaining the procedure, they were patient, transparent, and truly compassionate. Their pricing is honest and fair, especially for the level of care they provide. They literally sat with me and Lola on the

We recently had a terrifying emergency with our 10-year-old chihuahua. Another vet placed a catheter to collect a urine sample, not realizing he had bladder stones. When they removed the catheter, a stone became lodged, causing it to get stuck. Our regular vet sent us to a nearby emergency hospital, and while they were kind and truly so helpful, the $8,000–$11,000 estimate was something we simply could not afford. We truly thought we were going to have to put our dog down. Then we were referred to Pet Surgery Care and they completely changed everything. Not only was the cost a fraction of the original estimate 2,800 but the care, compassion, and professionalism we received were beyond anything we could have hoped for. Dr. Steele and Camilo are absolute angels. They treated us with kindness

From the very first phone call with Theresa to the post-surgery support calls with Camillo, the team at The Pet Surgery Center of Fort Lauderdale has been nothing short of stellar. After a difficult experience where we lost a beloved Pomeranian to anesthesia during a routine teeth cleaning, we have been incredibly reluctant to subject any of our other precious babies to it. However, our 11 year old boy Buddy had a broken tooth and was clearly in pain, so we knew surgery was necessary. Dr. Steele is a beacon of reassurance and caring. She is down to earth and truly understands the emotional connection we have with our pets, which gives her a rare and comforting empathy that we haven't found in other veterinary professionals. She and her team handled Buddy's case with such skill and compass
