Unfortunately Google does not alloy the owner to post a reply to any comments, so I am posting this as a review. Danielle Snitzer. First I want to state it is very difficult to determine the sex of newborn guinea pigs, if you dont believe me just Google it or ask another veterinarian. Second, I did identify the sexes properly before continuing with the scheduled surgery. See its easier when they are older. Third, when you have more than one intact male of any species of animal living together, the overall recommendation is to have the males neutered to help reduce testosterone based fighting. This is why I suggested having them both neutered. Lastly I find it annoying that someone like you can come in for a few minutes then run to the internet to leave a negative comment without truly knowing the whole situation. Personally I have worked on animals for over 25 years. I am a good, compassionate, and caring veterinarian, and I dont appreciate anyone taking a cheep shot at me or my hospital like you did. Good luck with your pets. Rebecca Edwards, you forgot to mention the part where you said you were on a limited income. That was when I said maybe you shouldnt own a cat. Remember that cat didnt choose you, you chose her. If you cannot afford proper veterinary care, the pet is the one who ultimately looses. I am sorry if this true statement upset you.

I really cant say how this will work out. You never know how any doctor (human or otherwise) will work out until the chips are down. Ive had very expensive vets misdiagnose my pets as well as less expensive ones. Ive had vets tell me that they can give "palliative care" (for who?) that will extend life for maybe 6 weeks at a cost of $4,000. Ive been bringing my latest dog here for about 4 years and so far the service has been excellent. Recently the doctor began pushing a new vaccine. I was suspicious since it is new to me, so before I agreed to it, I went online and everything I read agreed with what he said. Since then there have been a few articles in the newspaper about it and yes, its a problem that dogs should be vaccinated against in the Orlando area. Im going to give him 4 stars for now because like I said, until I bring in an animal with a deadly terminal cancer or something like that and see what he says about what to do about it, I cant say for sure. I understand that all vets are in a spot when someone brings in a dying animal and that different people have different price points, but what I hate is when the doctor doesnt want to give you the bad news in person and sends in a kid to lay out the estimate sheet, like the "practice managers" tell them to do.

Dr.bruce is an amazing vet! I have been bringing all my animals to this man for years! Be before me my parents brought our pets to him and he taken care of them every single time. Its not all about money with this vet its about the animals well being he cares so much. My pitbull maroon caught parvo and she was literally in deaths hands other vets just recommended me to put her down or take her to an emergency vet and quoted me over 2000 to save her life. She showed her first signs of parvo at night when most vets are closed. So I had to patiently wait and do everything in my power to keep her alive till I could get her to dr.bruce cause no one else was willing to help and financially emergency vets were not an option. When I was finally able to get her to dr.bruce he gave me 3 options and out of my 3 options none were to put her down. He saw hope in her. And after 3 days of out patient care the option I chose with him putting a solution under her skin she showed signs of happiness again dr.bruce saved my dogs life for WELLLL under 2000 I believe it was under 400. He has helped my animals in so many ways he cares about the animals well beings and I will never take my animals to another vet this man is the best there is and I trust him with their lives.

Gman here

so evidently, if you are a "normal" pet owner and dont have a raw meat eating pit bull, a batch of guinea pigs with sex organs that are even hard to discern for a vet and you dont plan on skipping town without paying your bill or abiding by the written instructions this place would be a good place to bring your pet. I like how this doctor responds to the bad reviews and it seems that dog and cat owners like the service. Of course you cant make all the people happy all of the time and some people just dont want to be happy and no matter what you do they will complain even when being informed. Thats the year 2016. The age of entitlement and no responsibility. I do hope the front desk is polite as they were also mentioned and usually the front is a reflection of the back. So I might give it a try and without having had a bad experience I must give 5 stars as it would be unfair to damage the average score without an actual experience. So well possibly see you soon. I hope your exam prices are reasonable.

My first experience here was bringing in my two guinea pigs. Dr. B was correct about one of them being pregnant so I inquired about neutering my male. After the baby was born, I brought it in to be sexed in which I was told "she" was a girl. When I brought the male out of the three in to be neutered and double checked that the baby was for sure a girl, he determined that she was actually male. When I decided to not neuter the male since there were two now and it would be somewhat pointless, he was angry that I was backing out of the surgery and tried to convince me to get both neutered. These are my beloved pets we are talking about, not used cars that need repairing. He was short and unwilling to discuss much further, making me feel like a pest rather than a client. If he was not even able to correctly sex them, I would have to be out of my mind to allow him to perform surgery. Will be finding a more knowledgeable and professional vet.

Dr. Bruce is an outstanding vet! He has been our vet for over twenty years and during that time he has treated my numerous dogs, cats and the reptiles that I used to own. I live 15 miles from his office and probably drive past 20 other vets to bring my pets to him. He is a very knowledgeable and compassionate vet. He always seems to be aware of the latest treatments and regularly attends continuing education seminars. His prices are also extremely competitive compared to other local vets. He treats my animals as if they were his own and some of them actually had/have been his before because Dr. Bruce spays or neuters, provides medical treatment and vaccines and finds homes for stray kittens. In fact, over the years I have adopted seven cats from him. Believe me, I wouldnt keep driving so far out of my way through heavy traffic for over twenty years if I had found a more compassionate, knowledgeable or competent vet.
