The death of my dog could have been prevented. I brought my dog here early in the morning because he had a seizure in the night and was developing fluid on the lungs, constraining his breathing. Dr Gordon had him all day and ran a number of costly tests and informed me my dog had allergies or maybe bronchitis and would be fine. Many things were discussed including my dogs age and heart condition but Dr Gordon ruled everything out saying he would be fine and it would go away within a day. I took my dog home and he died within the hour. :( I truly believe he was poorly evaluated and diagnosed. Basic online searches show the exams and medications he could have possibly received, which he did not. I should have researched this condition more before allowing this establishment and person to "practice" medicine on my dog. On a side note, the charge was $100 more than what I was told over the phone. This wouldnt have been a problem if my dog were still alive but I think it paints a clearer picture of this companys integrity.

I will never visit another veterinarian again besides Dr Gordon. My husband and I stumbled upon this practice 5 years ago when we moved down from Tampa FL. It was right next to our house. Our male cat was blocked with bladder stones. Dr Gordon was so friendly, explained things to us very thoroughly, treated our cat (multiple times) and would call us after our visits to check up on our cat. We eventually moved to plantation and thankfully that cat has been very healthy since. Recently our other cat declined. It turned out he had cancer in his kidney and lung. We traveled to Dr Gordon every time our cat got sick. As always, Dr Gordon always called to check on our cat KC. He even called us on Labor Day to check on him. We ended up putting our baby to sleep the day after Labor Day. Dr Gordon was so compassionate and even sent a card to our house. Stop looking now because you wont find a better vet than Dr Gordon. He really CARES about animals and he doesnt just want your money like most places.

I cannot express how fortunate I am to have met Dr. Gordon and the staff of Coral Ridge Animal Hospital. This past Saturday, I had to say my final goodbye to my best friend, soul mate, and love of my life. Sixteen years of memories will always be in my heart, but nothing can replace the emptiness that I feel. However, I can take comfort in knowing that her last moments on Earth were beautiful and full of love. We were surrounded by people who obviously care so very deeply about pets and their people. My girl and I were treated with such compassion and respect from start to finish. Dr. Gordons bedside manner is something that cannot be taught - it is absolutely genuine, and I know that I chose the right person to help my baby cross the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you to Dr. Gordon and staff from the bottom of my heart. I know that Casey is forever grateful to you all. I will never forget you. Xoxo

Dr. Gordon is an exceptional and compassionate veterinarian. His staff is also fantastic, a very knowledgeable and caring team that also keeps a very clean facility. Ive been bringing my dogs (boxers) to him for over 12 years and had an emergency late afternoon on New Years Eve, as always the staff was very accommodating and said to bring him n ASAP. Dr. Gordon was able to manage him conservatively and stabilize him until the specialist was available on Monday. He spent time to explain everything in detail in a very caring manner. In addition, he called the pet emergency hospital to speak with the surgeon in case we had to go over the holiday. Dr. Gordon called me every day over the long New Years holiday to check on my dog and assess the situation. I can not thank him and his staff enough for always having the best interest of my dogs over the past 12 years. Wouldnt trust anyone else!

Dr. Gordon is GREAT and VERY affordable! After a veterinarian in Boca Raton told me that my cat had cancer and needed immediate surgery, I became suspicious and sought a second opinion. Thats when I sought vets outside of Palm Beach County and found Dr. Gordon, who treated my cat with a simple antibiotic. My cat has been fine ever since! The staff is just as excellent, and helped my mom feel better about our cats diagnosis. They gave as a realistic diagnosis and treatment plan, with NO SCARE TACTICS like Ive encountered TWICE now in Palm Beach Co. area! Its somewhat of a trip for us to get there, but Dr. Gordons treatment and care is worth it. If you love your pet, then dont settle for whats local! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Im so thankful someone (who is in the pet boarding industry) recommended Dr. Gordon to us. Him and his staff are amazing! I had been going to a vet in the similar area for 8+ years but recently Ive noticed the quality has gone down as theyve gotten busier. I was skeptical to change vets but after a few careless mistakes, I had had it. I highly highly recommend Coral Ridge and Im extremely particular as my 3 dogs are my children. Dr. Gordon recently performed a laser procedure on our Bulldog to help her breathe better. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring.

Traveling with a senior pet can be challenging. Finding someone who is knowledgeable, caring and not out to over bill you is also a challenge. Our experience with Dr. Gordon and his staff was exceptional. Our old gal got very sick and we thought we were going to lose her. Dr. Gordon was amazing. He stayed after hours and made sure she had the care she needed. Changing her food also changed our lives and we now have a happy and healthy little girl. We are very, very grateful to everyone for the wonderful care we recieved.

We have had the best experience with Dr. Gordon and his staff. Our dog "Buster" is not an easy dog when it comes to go to the vet. He is petrified and not easy to handle, but the staff have shown a lot of patience dealing with him. I have had other dogs and have taken them to other vets, and when a friend told me to go to Dr. Gordon, I thought well lets try him, and my friend was 100% correct. I would not take "Buster" to any other vet. I will summarize it this way: "Caring, Friendly and Professional". Juan Cambra

We absolutely love Dr. Arch Gordon and all the staff at Coral Ridge Animal Hospital! Everyone there is kind, loving and compassionate to the animals and their owners. Our dog and cat have had check ups, vaccines, minor issues and even surgery done there and we would not go anywhere else! In addition, Dr. Gordon was President of the Broward County Veterinary Association and I am told, is very highly regarded by others in his profession. So not only do we think he is great, but his peers do as well!

I am fairly new to this animal hospital but Dr. Gordon has treated 2 of my pets, a cat and a dog. The dog was a new pup we adopted but she was so skittish she wouldnt let anyone near her but me. Dr. Gordon and his staff were able to do all that was necessary and she remained calm. His diagnosis for both animals was spot on and he was cost conscious, which is a major concern for us right now. My son took his 2 dogs to Dr. Gordon at my recommendation and he had a similar experience.
