I have used them 2 times in 'after-hour' cases only because I live very close (within 5 minutes). Now called Animal Medical Center-- Veterinarian Specialists of South Florida (VSSF). They take a great deal of time coming up with VERY expensive options and then you 'decide' how much you want to spend. . They also have you in an emergengcy situation and milk it for all it is worth. Money is their first concern, not your pet. The first posters fee of $6500 says it all. Recently had to take my cat for care after my regular vet had closed--decided to skip VSSF. It wasn't a dire emergency so I drove 20 minutes to another emergency animal hospital where the care was excellent and in this instance the fees were very reasonable.
