Florida Pets & Vets

Knowing what you want should be priority for every normal individual when taking out for help his/her pets or yourself(on general in life). I, for instance, have desired veterinarian for my little baby girl dog. Not just any kind veterinarian, but the one who can create friendly bond with her primarily, so she wouldn't have to be in pain or stress when examined ! This was a huge issue to me because at other clinics, my 6lb (pounds)baby was often extremely stressed due to violent/ignorant examination....physically restrained to the point when I lost nerves and end-up taking her out(I did spoiled her and majority of veterinarians care mainly about getting job done fast and earning as much as possible$$$). That wasn't the case at Dr. Basta's little clinic. He managed to create friendly bond with animal and have examined her completely without having to have to press her jars or using other violent(sick) methods used at other clinics. It was funny to see my extremely sensitive baby(cry ... Read more

I took my cats for their routine annual checkup and vaccinations. Dr. Basta Jr recommended a senior panel so I agreed since they never had one and they were 8 years old. One test came back a bit high on the liver count and he recommended x rays and an ultrasound which all came back negative. He recommended putting her on denosyl which I did. She started to heave and he recommended putting her on laxatone and when that didn't work he said to shave her. I had called this office several times, and he did not bother to return my calls. She continued to heave and I took her back for another liver test. The liver count was a bit high and he said it was "through the roof". He looked at her ears and said she was juandiced and didn't even exam her. She had lost a great deal of weight by this time. He told me that he would be telling me when it was her "time to go" and I responded I wasn't ready to give up on her yet. He suggested giving her something to stop heaving. I started her on that and s... Read more

My cat Shadow and my dog Precious have been patients of Dr. Amgad Basta for over 3 years at Florida Pets and Vets. The Vet (Dr. Amgad Basta) has always ben honest, compassionate and very patient with me and my pets, which I consider as my family. Problems have always been solved, with no stones left unturned. He always gives you a full explaination before doing anything, and I find his prices to be the best in the Miami area, giving you the most for your money. I would reccommend Florida Pets and Vets to everyone that loves their animal. This is not just a job for Dr. Amgad Basta, it is his passion.

I have a Chocolate Lab and she had "smelly" feet. We love Hershey and she sleeps with our daughter. I was given a lot of advice from several different vets, but only Amgad Basta, D.V.M. could help us. Hershey was given special wipes and cleansing lotion for her paws, and she has resumed sleeping with our daughter, less the "smelly". Thanks Dr. Basta. Hershey thanks you too. I would recommend Dr. Basta very highly!

My dog Lucky is 13 years old, and has been a patient of Dr. Amgad Basta for about 4 years. Lucky was bit by an insect, and started to tear the hair out at the sight of the bite. After consulting with Dr. Amgad Basta, I administered the medication he advised me to give to her and in less than two weeks her hair was already growing back. Thanks Doc! Good Job!

When I was on vacation in Mexico my Red nose Miniature Pinscher was attacked by a Rottweiler and my pet sitter brought him to Pets and Vets. My little baby was severely injured and needed emergency surgery and I was miles away. Dr. Basta Jr was swift to act and saved his life. Dr. Basta Jr constantly kept me informed of my dog?s medical condition until I could return to Miami. His knowledge, compassion, professionalism and true understanding of the human animal bond made me feel at ease during that very difficult time. The atmosphere at the clinic is very welcoming. His staff is knowledgeable, professional and compassionate and Dr. Basta Jr always takes the time to explain things. I will always be a client and fully entrust Dr. Basta Jr and his staff for all of my pets needs.

I never look around for these sites to leave a review, but after having dealt with this guy, I couldn't help myself. Dr. Basta is one of the most unprofessional doctors I have ever dealt with. He has continued to treat us like he is doing us a favor and at one point even managed to let us know that he was getting close to the point to telling us to "get the hell out of here" when we would ask questions as to how/why things were priced the way they were. Today we took Jessie to the Hollywood Animal Hospital, and for half the price, and half the time we were able to find out that our little baby needs to get her toe amputed due to cancer that was spreading through a tumor. Dr. Basta did not once let us know that this was the problem. He continuously told us that the foot was healing and was on its way to recovery. I do NOT recommend this guy to anyone looking for high-quality vs. low cost for their pets.
