I ask because I have had, and still have, experience with Maitland. I was not so thrilled with their orthopedic section but absolutely swear by their dermatology section. It seems as if there might be hits and misses at AVS.

I believe Dr. Brown came to the Maitland office once a week (?) as their dental specialist. I found out Dr. Brown had her own practice and knew she had to be less expensive than the Maitland office's fee so yes -- I traveled to her own office to have the extractions done on both cats. The Maitland office, like Buffalo Ridge, is owned by a non-veterinarian. Those offices have a manager because the owner is an in-absentia owner.
I did make a mistake. Dr. Brown's own office is in West Palm Beach, not Boca. I wouldn't hesitate to take my dog or cat to her again if I had a serious dental issue with one of my pets. (

The vet you like at Maitland might be a permanent staff vet or possibly, like Dr. Brown, could have her/his own practice elsewhere. It wouldn't hurt to (privately) ask.
