Very disappointed. Vet did not touch the dog. Just asked me questions. Told him I was doing natural supplements to help his arthritis and he told me to keep doing that AND he would give me 2 weeks worth of meds to try and if no bad side effects, I could come back and request more. When I checked out, the woman told me they were expensive and to contact drug company for discount. Once I got home and put my reading glasses on I saw they charged me $85 for the 2 week supply vet told me he was giving me to try!! I took them back and told them that was no way to do business, not to mention he never even touched the dog! Tech administered shots! They refused to refund the $.

AVOID THESE TOXIC, UNPROFESSIONAL PEOPLE! THEY ARE PREJUDICED AGAINST THE DISABLED! HOW DO THEY TREAT YOUR PETS WHEN YOU'RE NOT WATCHING? I AGREE WITH EVERY NEGATIVE REVIEW ABOUT THIS DEPLORABLE VET! BURGER TRULY DOES NOT GIVE A SH*T ABOUT ANYONE !! Paul Burger is one of the most dislikable, disrespectful, uncompassionate and unconscionable egotists that I have ever encountered. As a disabled senior, with service animals, I have been treated so disgracefully and with such wanton disregard for my dignity, safety and well-being, that I felt compelled to prepare a PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT complaint against this offensive man and his demeaning staff. I am demanding a complete investigation by the Florida State Veterinary Medical Licensing Board into his bizarre and unprofessional conduct. People hate these arrogant jerks for a reason. They treat people like CRAP! If you treat people like crap, they are going to hate you. And, they are going to tell a lot of people what you did to them. Every time your name comes up, these new people will all tell the story to a lot more new people. Before you know it, people are trading horror stories about you in Facebook groups. Nobody who hears what you did will ever forget what you did. They will all add their own thoughts about you, and what you did. Your families will hear about you, and your neighbors will nod knowingly. They will all warn others about what they heard about you. This is human nature. It's called "word of mouth". It's the best form of protection that a community has against evil people. It's how we learn who to avoid. This is one vet that I definitely want to report and avoid. Word of mouth is a powerful weapon, and social media is a powerful tool. If you have been poorly treated by this veterinarian and/or his staff, please tell your story. Make it heard. Leave reviews and file complaints. Together, we can stop this deplorable group from degrading more people. This is my opinion, based upon my personal experiences, observations and judgements. It is not fact. Each person should evaluate these people, based on their own experiences, and form their own opinions. I share mine as a public service to the disabled community. These are not nice people. Spit on them and walk away.

Recently relocated to Melbourne from out of state for new job. We have two dogs -- 3 yr old Lab-Boxer mix and a 2 yr old Lab-Golden Retriever mix. They get regular preventative care including all shots as well as monthly NextGuard and HeartGuard purchased from our vet practice. We had an wonderful vet before our move so when we were given a bunch of recommendations from new neighbors and co-workers, we had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for -- a practice with experienced veterinarians, friendly staff, and not necessarily in a fancy/new facility (past experience was higher cost for care to help pay for the upgrades.) Melbourne Animal Hospital was the second vet we saw. The experience was almost identical to our vet back home and the cost was actually slightly less. We already have somewhere to board our dogs and do drop-off daycare when needed so any expanded services aren't something we needed to take into account. We just need good preventative medical care and someone we trust if an emergency comes up. Melbourne Animal Hospital meets that need for us.

I've been taking my dogs and cats to Melbourne Animal Hospital for 14 years and I love this office, it's vet techs, and the staff. Dr. Burger, Dr. Rex, and all the others have been with my dogs for years and shown incredible compassion and care throughout their lives --whether it was my dog or a foster dog. There prices are the most reasonable I've seen in the area, and they truly care about your pets. I can't recommend them enough.

Paul Berger is the best vet available. Very explanative on everything that might be wrong with you family member ( if you explain their symptoms) and if you pay attention you might be able to help him with the diagnosis and help your family member. My girl has diabetes's and with Doc Berger's help and she so for with him explaining all the things I need to look for in her needs. I take my girl's blood sugar almost everyday and keep take track of it for Doc Berger. She has crash and down on the floor and I give a doggie cookie with Karo syrup and within a couple of minutes she is fine. My girl was down to 52 lbs. and now she is up to 57 lbs. My girl is a Walker Treeing Hound which 57 lbs. is good. We have had struggles over the past 4 months and it has finally settled down. Thank you Doc Berger!!!!!!!!!!!! Knock on wood because she is doing wonderful so far. Don't want the last couple of months back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to find someone who can quote me a reasonable price for a Rabies Titer Test for my dog and cat. KSU does the actual testing and their price is $90 for the test and $170 for expedited service. My vets quote is $900 for expedited service. All the vet is doing is drawing the serum and sending it to KSU. I have no problem in paying a vet for their time but I am not sure a 246% price hike is fair.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE! I had taken my 7 year old kitty in for a dental cleaning which they had told me that he needs blood work done before hand since anesthesia was involved and because he was almost 8. I take him to get the bloodwork where they weren't able to get a lot because he doesn't like the vet, the vet tech tells me if they need more that they'll get it when he's put under... I tell her nooo because the blood work was for whether or not they can put him under.. well when I go in for his teeth clean, they told me his blood work was fine and that the anesthesia was safe and we were good to go. A few hours later they call me and tell me that my baby boy had woken and everything was fine and I could come pick him up. I get there 5 min later because I live right by the office, only for them to tell me 15 min later that my baby boy had passed away and they couldn't even give me a reason why!!!! I have been so devastated, not only by the fact that my whole family has been affected by this, or that I had lost my first fur baby around Christmas, but I think that someone in there had done something wrong and no one is claiming responsibility for my boys life!!!! Please take your pet elsewhere!! This was the most heartbreaking thing I've had to deal with, seeing my baby laying there and with no answers!! I wish I could give them negative stars!!!

Dr. Berger is my dogs Vet and they get along well. Service is available as advertised, compassionate care, fair prices, and top notch medical care. Very easy to communicate with and I feel very comfortable with the service that has been provided for my dog.
