Avalon Animal Hospital

My cat was healthy when I brought her in for a procedure and was incoherent when I picked her up the next day. She died two days later. All that Dr. Perez could offer me was to say that if I get another cat I could bring it in and get a discount. NEVER AGAIN!!!

This was the worst vet in the bronx. DO NOT GO HERE! I brought my dog in to get some advice on how to calm my 15 year old dog who was suffering from such severe arthritis and could not walk or stand and would bark and whine from the pain and from the inability to stand to even feed himself. The doctor even gave my dog who has a history of seizures a medication that increases risk for seizures and is contraindicated.
The doctor was also extremely rude. Will never return to this place it i ever was to get another dog.

When to bring my dog for a small procedure to remove a small ball growing between his toes and that’s it his foot was fine otherwise after the surgery n the bandages his foot has cuts n opening where surgery was not done n he says it’s an infection n it’s not an infection he said he doesn’t know how the hell does a veterinarian does not know why a dog has cuts on his FOOT NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN.

Unnecessary procedures, that didn’t cure my animals.
Dr. Perez always seems to be pushing for more analysis… perhaps he’s just trying to be thorough, but common sense should prevail. We had some tests run on our 21-​year-​old cat, who was clearly dying of old age. He said her liver enzymes were elevated at a ‘six’ and should’ve been lower. When I asked him what ‘six’ meant, he couldn’t really give me an explanation, as if he didn’t really know what the numbers meant. He wanted to run more extensive (and expensive) tests, but c’mon…I probably had the oldest cat in the Bronx… it was her time to leave us.
My dog had a severe ear infection. He insisted the animal had to anesthetized so he could take a good look in his ear and clean it out. $ 250 and a week later, my dog’s ears were bleeding. We brought him back, and he basically admitted he gave him the wrong medicine, and once again insisted on anesthesia. Long story short, I spent $ 560 total, treated my dog religiously for 2 weeks with the medicines he prescribed, and the ear infection remained.
Took him to another vet… infection was gone in 5 days. New vet said anesthetizing my dog for an ear infection was ‘a little strange.’

When I lived in the Bronx this was my dog and cats vet.
Dr. Perez, from the Philippines, was like a father to my pets.
No… wait… he was like Noah from Noah’s Ark actually. Whoooaaa what insanely sincere care this fella showed… ALWAYS! He EVEN called my parents home from his house that night to make sure our dog was okay after any surgical procedure. He’d even call days after to make sure all was well with our pet. WHAT the F**k !!! Damn… I don’t think heart transplant surgeons, or any surgeons for that matter do this for their ‘human’ patients after a major surgery. This guy is the BEST!!! Prices are way cheap and he’s even negotiable if he sees or knows youre in a bind.
