I sincerely say this is one of the best vets in Miami. Reasonably priced and most importantly actually care! They are all so friendly and after surgery they called two days later to see how hes doing and if I have any questions! I recently took my dog to Dr. Barbosa for an Ear hemotoma and the service that he provided was immeasurable.

Doctor Joe Barbosa is a wonderful veterinarian! He cares about his patients and clients. My cat was neutered, vaccinated and microchipped at the Animal Hospital of Hallandale. After the visit we got follow up call from caring staff.
At the office visit Dr Barbosa also went over the diet plan and recommended flea and tick prevention and answered all my questions. Thanks to him my kitty is healthy and happy and so am I!
I recommend this clinic to all my friends who have cats, dogs, rabbits and birds. Best place with affordable prices!

Dr. Barbosa's wife who runs that office did not want to answer my phone calls and avoided me after the fact. When I finally did get her on the phone I started to describe what happened and she simply hung up on me. No matter how many times I called back she she saw my name on the caller ID and simply did not pick up the phone. I have been taking my cat to the animal hospital for over two years, and I have never experienced such horrific service like I did this past week. The technician and the vet working that day, were extremely aggressive with my cat. They grabbed him by the neck nearly

My daughter was so worried about taking her dog to the vet because he has a significant heart issue. The entire staff of Hallandale Animal Hospital was professional, kind, and personable. Dr. Barbosa clearly enjoys his job, loves animals, and puts patients and their humans at ease. It's such a relief to walk out of a Dr's office feeling confident you received high quality care from a Dr.and his staff.

I've been taking my two chihuahuas to this clinic for many years. I was always satisfied medically but thought that this is way too pricey and thus never recommended them publicly... Well, this year I decided to save some time and take my dogs to the vet closer to my house in Aventura. I thought i did my (google) research and ended up at bayshore clinic. There the same dental work was estimated at three times as much and the young and pretty doctor (probably an intern) has warned me about such likely possibilities as breaking a jaw (well, its so tiny and delicate and my dogs are so old after

I live in Hollywood and tried 3 vet offices there before Dr Barbosa at the Animal Hospital of Hallandale was recommended to me. I have always had several cats and a dog and have been going there now for about 15 years. The office staff including the front desk, vet techs, Resident Vets and other vets are all caring, warm, friendly and helpful. Some of my pets were cared for to the end of their lives and after they died (one was a 17 year old cat), we received a sympathy card with notes and expressions of support from all the staff. It was very touching. You will not be disappointed if you bring
