Deer Run Animal Hospital

My husband and I adopted a cat on Sunday from Broward County Animal Care and Adoption. We named her Fiona. She’s about a year old and had multiple pelvic fractures after what they assumed to be vehicular trauma. We chose Deer Run Animal Hospital for Fiona’s post-adoption vet visit and we are glad that we did. We initially scheduled an appointment for next week, but after noticing Fiona’s eye was a bit squinty, we assumed she might have conjunctivitis or a URI and called back to try to get her in sooner. The receptionist was very friendly and accommodating, and managed to squeeze us in for yesterday at 4:30pm. Due to Covid-19, Deer Run required us to call from our vehicle when we arrived, fill out a ‘new client’ form, and they would then take Fiona inside for her exam. We were advised that the doctor would then call us while we were inside our vehicle to discuss any findings or recommendations. We were pleasantly surprised when Dr. Lance came out to our vehicle instead to discuss Fiona. We ended up doing some follow-up x-rays and updating her vaccines. Her x-rays showed significant improvement on her hips, but she was full of poop (as we expected since she hasn’t yet used her litter box.) Dr. Lance gifted us some canned food and recommended a specific litter for Fiona to entice her to use the bathroom. We did just that, and she pooped overnight. Her Christmas gift to us. We called the hospital to update them, and Dr. Lance got on the phone with me directly. He is very genuine and caring. Most vets will just reiterate a message to a technician or receptionist for a client on the phone, so that was really nice. Pretty sure we found Fiona’s permanent vet. Thank you to Dr. Lance and staff at Deer Run!

They took great care of my girl!! Great staff with fantastic service!!

Misdiagnosed our beloved dog with “sore paw pads” when in fact she had osteosarcoma and her bones were literally deteriorating in her legs. Mets had moved to her lungs and heart. The veterinary office that actually diagnosed her told us she likely would have survived treatment of Deer Run had properly diagnosed her in the first place.nnThanks for causing us to lose our baby, and also causing her extra pain.

AVOID taking your beloved pet here.. they haven't displayed true care and compassion for my dog in the almost 2 yrs. They just want your $$$. I shouldn't have stayed so long but I thought it would be such a hassle to find another vet since my dog suffers from many illnesses due to old age. Majority of the staff are not nice and only see you as a dollar sign. Highly reccomend Quiet Waters Animal Hospital where they truly care about your pet and treat them as their own.

12 1/2 yr old dog Juno had her first teeth cleaning. She won't otherwise open her mouth so we had to get it done. Had 9 teeth pulled. Dr. Shaaf did a great job, and both he and Dr. Lance were very responsible to our nervous inquiries. Definitely recommend, and much less expensive than for example, Coral Springs Animal Hospital.
