Marina Animal Hospital

Horrible experience here. Once they would not take our cat for observations to ensure it didn’t have complications.
We tried them a second time for blood in the cats urine and they asked us what tests we wanted to have done. We don’t know what is wrong. They should be the experts to suggest what should be done.

I was referred to Dr Ghazi by my Mother who is really very picky about everything so I knew he must be very good. I was certainly not disappointed.
When I met Dr G and his staff I immediately knew we were in good hands. Dr G asked a lot of questions (more questions than any other vet I have EVER gone to) and reviewed my dog Yoshi’s records thoroughly and spent time with me to get a clear picture of his history before he made any diagnosis.
Dr G recommended surgery to remove some of Yoshi’s teeth which I was not surprised about and also suggested that he remove a growth on Yoshi’s head at the same time. Yoshi had the surgery and has completely recovered and is a much happier dog because of the care that Dr G took. I would recommend Dr G to all of my friends and trust him completely.

Dr. Ghazi and the support staff are truly dedicated to the animals that they treat. When our cat was critically ill we called them even though we were not clients and they took us on to do all that they could. They were always available by phone to speak to us about updates on our cat’s condition and to make further recommendations, and went above and beyond to squeeze us in for an appointment when they were fully booked. They showed incredible compassion and I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again.

Terrible experience here years ago and never got a chance to write a review about it. I wanted to make sure everyone who goes there knows to be careful.
When I first got my first Chihuahua. I was told she was an abused dog and I rescued her from a breeder. The first week I got her, I realized some of her teeth were dangling so I brought her in to this vet at Marina Animal Hospital.
The «doctor» Behzad told me that she has gum disease and I would have to have ALL her teeth removed and she would have to be fed ONLY soft food. I was in tears. If that wasn’t the worst news I got, I was also told by the «doctor» it would cost $ 900.00. Still in tears driving home feeling sorry for my dog and being totally confused and stressed, I was losing it and had to stop the car so I can collect myself before I crash. I was given a suggestion by my mother to go to another vet and get a second opinion.
I brought her to Ripley Animal Hospital in Richmond Hill. YES, I drove all the way there just because that hospital was referred to me by a breeder and I didn’t care driving an hour away from home obviously to ensure my dog is looked at by someone reputable.
Dr. Parmigano had 4 teeth removed and did a teeth and gum cleaning and she was good to go. It cost me $ 180.00.
Marina Animal Hospital lied to me and would have made my dog suffer for nothing! ONLY so they can collect $ 900.00.
Terrible!!!

I have been taking my cat, Edgar, to Dr. Ghazi for a few years now, and he has always given Edgar the best care possible. Dr. Ghazi is really intelligent, extremely compassionate, and friendly. I once brought my cat to him in an emergency, and Dr. Ghazi took him into surgery immediately and saved his life! He always takes his time with Edgar, remembers his medical history, and answers all questions that I have. The 3 staff members that I have met during my visits there have all been so kind and welcoming. You can tell that these people love animals and put their heart into their work. I would highly recommend taking your pet to this vet.

I wasn’t to impressed with the treatment I rec’d there. I went in 2009 when I first inherited my dog. She received a check up got vacinated and had her teeth cleaned there. I go every month to get her dog food and not once has the vet or staff ever asked how she’s doing or followed up about vacinations or check ups.

Dr Ghazi has been our vet since 2003/​2004, when we got our first kitten then Bernese Mountain Dog. My experience as a long term customer is that Dr. Ghazi is an exemplary vet, willing to go the extra mile. My dog had a tumour and Dr. Ghazi, within 45 minutes had done a test of it to clear it of malignancy, and this because I was so worried. What a relief, even humans don’t get that fast a test result. And he has digital xrays which were quite useful when we had to bring our dog for orthopedic surgery up to Orangeville (Dr. Ghazi doesn’t do this type of surgery). He fit my cat in on a Saturday with an emergency, and yes I did get the food lecture, but I suppose if I were treating cats in terrible pain with kidney stones due to bad diet you too might want to ensure your clients understand that choice of pet food is critical, esp for cats. Its all about the animal and if you ask me that’s the best you can hope for.

I took my dog Tyki there for a health certificate document that I needed for his travel.
The Doctor Behzad Ghazi was so patient, he took all the time to show me what the possible breeds of my dig are and also that why he sometimes has short breath problems. He brought all the magazines and science books to show me in exact details what happens and how i can control it. He was so patient and helpful. I didn’t for one minute feel that he just wants to do his job and go on with the next pet, I felt… like being with a family doctor :)
And his secretary, WOW, she was so friendly. I got stock in traffic, so I called ot say I would be late, she calmly asked me how long I thought i would be late and she said that she will do her best to squeeze us in and that was what she did. The minute we went in she came out and explained that doctor is busy with another patient and he will be with us shortly. She was so friendly, and Tyki is usually very much afraid of these clinics but he was very calm there and didn’t panic.
I was so happy with the service I got, I’m definitely going back there again :)

Dr Gahzi saved my Boston Terrier’s life.
Casey had swallowed something that ended up binding itself around his little tummy, and without Dr Gahzi’s patience, and persistence, I’m convinced Casey wouldn’t have made it.
He scheduled appointments out of his ‘regular booking time’, to ensure Casey got care ASAP.
Dr Gahzi does a lot of work with local rescues, and is the Boston Terrier Rescue Canada’s choice vet.
He works with you, and he’s honest — he’ll do what’s best for your pet, not his pocket book. A VET THAT’S HONEST! WHOOHOO!
You’ll even see certain fee’s waived (ie. ‘blood drawing fee’) that would no way in hell be removed by downtown vets.
