I have been a patient of Dr. Alan Cords, Gentle Care Animal Hospital for years. When your pet can not tell you waht is wrong, I guarantee you that Dr. Cords can. His diagnosis and treatment are always correct. His follow up care is amazing, he is genuinely concerned with getting your pet healthy again. The staff are wonderful and compassionate. The office is open 6 days a week with later appointments available. I highly recommend him.

I've been in the office not once but a lot of times, and all what I see .. they are for money that is all they think about ... everything has a price and a very spicy ..

1st of all, the staff at this animal hospital were nothing but PROFESSIONAL AND NICE!!!! my vet, dr kerry rafuse was as gentle and careful with my baby boy bobbie(yorkie)....from the minute i walked in till the time i left, it was a very pleasurable and inexpensive visit...dr kerry is a GREAT VET and i would recomend her to anyone who is looking for a new vet or who just moved to lauderdale....nothing but 10 stars if i could give them to dr kerry and gentle care!!!!

Hands down, this is the best vet I've ever visited. The office is unique and clean. The office staff is kind, helpful and capable. And most importantly, the veterinary care for my ten year old yellow lab is second to none! Dr. Cords and staff are GREAT! Highly recommended.

I had an unbelieveable horrible experience here. I have an 11 month old lab puppy who I brought in for an ear infection. The vet (Dr. Kerry Rafuse) treated my dog and I so poorly. She couldn't put drops in my dog's ear, and proceeded to put a MUZZLE on him! He's a LAB and did not once try to bite. After seeing him suffering, I mentioned that I felt bad for him. She laughed in my face saying I should feel bad for HER, and told me I must not do anything with him at home. She couldn't perform her job, and sarcastically told me "good luck doing that on your own." I left in TEARS. Since then, I have successfully put drops in my dog's ear everyday. The key is to sneak them in while he's sleeping. But she should have known that, being a doctor and all. Awful place.
