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. ( Your Pet Dentist | Veterinarians West Palm Beach, Florida | Advanced Veterinary Dental Surgery
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. |
I knew that AVS has an absentee, non-vet owner, and it always bothered me. I would not go back there for orthopedics, but my dog would happily abandon us and go home with Dr. Schwassmann, the derm vet. He sees her every year, sometimes more if odd events happen here and there. He's been skin-allergy-free for 7 years thanks to her.
