Save Yourself Time, Heartache, and Money! I deeply regret bringing my 5-year-old Cane Corso, Max, to Nova Animal Hospital. Our experience was a costly, frustrating, and heartbreaking ordeal that left us with more questions than answers. On October 24, we brought Max in because he wasn’t acting normal and had stopped eating. The vet, Dr. Rodriguez, drew blood, sent us home, and called the next day to say Max was in kidney failure with dangerously high kidney values. She recommended expensive hospitalization, but due to financial constraints, we opted to continue his care at home. From the beginning, Dr. Rodriguez was GUESSING that Max had ingested a toxin. On October 26, since Max wasn't improving, we paid extra for stat bloodwork, which showed slight improvement. Dr. Rodriguez mentioned that high calcium levels could indicate cancer but continued to focus on toxins rather than suggesting testing for cancer. At this appointment we agreed to give Max subcutaneous iv fluids to see if that would help. Desperate for answers, we agreed to an ultrasound and to hospitalize Max for a day to give him more fluids—another costly procedure. Dr. Rodriguez described this as a "hail Mary" and suggested euthanasia might be necessary. The ultrasound results were inconclusive, so she recommended we pay even more to have a radiologist review it. The radiologist found no kidney abnormalities. Still desperate for answers, I sought advice in Facebook groups and scheduled an appointment with another local vet. Before the appointment, I stopped by Nova to ask Dr. Rodriguez a question and was told I had to pay $75 just to speak with her—despite already spending hundreds of dollars with no clear answers. I paid, and unsurprisingly, she continued guessing that toxins were to blame. On November 4, we saw another vet who immediately referred us to a specialist. On November 6, the oncologist at Broward Veterinary Specialists confirmed Max had lymphoma—a common condition in dogs. While this diagnosis is devastating, we’re grateful to finally have answers and a treatment plan to give Max more quality time. What’s deeply concerning is that lymphoma was never mentioned as a possible cause by Nova Animal Hospital, even though it’s a well-known condition. Instead, they kept charging us for procedures and tests that led nowhere, wasting valuable time and resources. Nova Animal Hospital failed Max and us during a critical time. They prioritized costly guesswork over a proper referral to a specialist, ultimately prolonging Max’s suffering and our anguish. If you love your pet, I urge you to think twice before trusting this clinic with their care. Since my $75 visit Nova has not called to check on Max, which is further evidence of their lack of compassion and prioritization of profits.

Our vet is Dr. Romero. To start with the doc, she is fabulous. Detail oriented. A real problem solver but also very practical and mindful of expense. You can tell she really loves the animals. Dr. Formosa was our first vet, she is fantastic and has all the qualities you want in a vet. She even got a chapelle show reference I made about the family dog who will eat anything, including poison, a total pittie vacuum. The front desk staff, each and everyone of them are nice, professional and caring. The techs, are fantastic, maybe the best in the office (sorry docs). Super talented crew and clearly dedicated to the animals. Justin , a tech I recently came in contact with, is a gem, a unicorn one could say. 2 out of 3 of my animals have a chronic condition and together , we manage it in a collaborative process lead by Dr. Romero. Highly recommend. Tell them Armand sent you.

I recently had a deeply concerning experience with my beloved African Gray parrot, who was in an extraordinary amount of pain. He couldn't stand on either of his legs without lifting one in the air, constantly shifting from one foot to the other in obvious distress. After trying to figure out what was wrong to no avail, I decided to take him to Nova Animal Clinic, and I am beyond grateful that I did. From the moment we walked through the doors, the staff at the welcome reception desk were nothing short of exceptional. They were extraordinarily pleasant, incredibly helpful, and, most importantly, they understood the urgency and pain that my bird was in. Their empathy and kindness were evident in every interaction, which immediately put me at ease. I had the privilege of seeing Dr. Flinchum, and I simply cannot speak highly enough of her. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine compassion were truly phenomenal. She took the time to thoroughly assess my bird's condition, explaining everything with clarity and patience. It's clear that she has a deep understanding of and passion for avian care, which was incredibly reassuring during such a stressful time. The entire experience at Nova Animal Clinic exceeded my expectations in every way. The level of care and attention to detail that my bird received was outstanding. This was my first visit to this hospital, and I can confidently say that I will be recommending it to all bird owners, especially those with African Gray parrots. If you're looking for a veterinary team that truly cares, look no further than Dr. Flinchum and the staff at Nova Animal Clinic. They are simply the best!
