Animal Eye Guys - Fort Lauderdale

Brought my dog here in October 2025 for an eye ulcer. After spending several thousands of dollars, using countless drops, and putting her through multiple burr debridements, it finally "healed" in January. On January 28, 2026, I was told the ulcer was healed, yet right after that visit her eye was red and she was squinting again. When I called to speak to a doctor, the front desk girl casually told me, after asking a doctor who happened to be passing by, that the ulcer had re-opened. No urgency. No empathy. No concern. Just a casual response like this wasn’t my dog’s eye and months of treatment. After months of procedures and thousands spent, they still couldn’t properly resolve it. I felt like they cared more about the money than my dog’s well-being. I took her to a different clinic, and she healed in TWO WEEKS. No debridements done. Also I was told that her cornea was inflamed and quite harmed after all the debriments and eye procedures she went through with Animal eye Guys. I will never bring my dog back here, and I will absolutely make sure my friends and loved ones don’t either. Definitely do NOT recommend.

Can’t recommend this place enough. They took great care of my Boston Terrier for a number of years and then performed his surgery when it was time to do it. He’s all healed now and doing great.

I’ve taken my mom’s senior dog, Cooper, to Animal Eye Guys for several appointments, and I can’t say enough good things about this clinic. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure Cooper feels comfortable during every visit. Dr. Laura Proietto is outstanding—her bedside manner and patience are truly remarkable. She takes the time to explain everything clearly and never makes us feel rushed. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and appointments always run on time. If you’re looking for a compassionate and professional veterinary specialist, I highly recommend Animal Eye Guys!

Professional, friendly, and caring! I so appreciate their willingness too to get me an immediate appointment yesterday for my cat Daphne! Thank you! The vet and vet technician communicated clearly with me about her results and current treatment, and what the future will look like for her and the health of her eyes. They treated everyone - new or existing customers - with a positive, gracious attitude.

Update 2/17/2026: Thank you so much, Dr. Proietto and your amazing staff for taking such great care of Salty after he suffered post-traumatic uveitis. We think the world of you and are so grateful 💓 Thank you so much, Dr. Proietto, for taking such amazing care of my cockatiel, Salty!! His right eye already looks normal again 🙂 I had a fantastic experience at this Animal Eye Guys location and very much appreciated that Dr. Proietto was able to see Salty so quickly. Her staff was very kind and professional as well. Thank you again!!

The whole staff was wonderful. They took great care of my Cat Stevens and made us both very comfortable.

As a husband and dog owner, this experience has been one of the most financially and emotionally draining situations I've dealt with. We have been taking our dog to this location since October 2025 and by the end of January 2026 have spent over $3,000 treating an eye ulcer. What troubles me most is the pattern of procedures being performed without consent, even after my wife explicitly addressing this with the clinic. On November 14th, an eye collagen shield was placed without her approval, and we were also charged $92.40 for it. After that visit, my wife made it very clear to the staff that moving forward, no procedures were to be done without our consent. Despite this, during what was supposed to be a final checkup, they again performed a procedure without consent - a tonometry test - and charged $51.50 for it. We were told by the doctor that our dog was fully healed, yet within 48 hours, her eye became red and inflamed again. When my wife and I called back, instead of speaking with the doctor, a front desk employee (not a veterinarian) told us the ulcer was "back" after talking with a doctor that was "passing by". That alone speaks volumes about communication and professionalism. I also noticed price inconsistencies and increases over time: Corneal stain increased from $43.75 to $45.25 Biohazard fee increased from $6.50 to $6.75 Individually these may seem minor, but combined with non-consented procedures, they raise serious concerns about transparency. What's been most disappointing is the lack of any goodwill or concern for the dog. There was no offer of a free recheck, consultation, or acknowledgment of the stress this has caused. Every interaction feels centered on billing, not care. Pet owners deserve consent, communication, and compassion. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this clinic to anyone. NEVER coming here again.
