CAUTION: DO NOT ENTRUST YOUR ANIMAL'S CARE TO THIS VET.
It is with a heavy heart that I am forced to write this review to prevent Dr Gerard from abusing his position as a vet. I gave him fair opportunity to do the right thing, but his arrogance failed him.
My cat Rocky, whom Dr Gerard treated for diabetes was tested on Friday 25 September 2020 for a standard Glucose Curve. Rocky was then boarded at Jupiter Animal Hospital for that weekend.
He was completely neglected while under Dr Gerard's care because he was sick and Dr Gerard didn't come in to take care of him. He became gravely ill (vomiting, no appetite, and unable to be administered insulin) and by the time I collected him on Monday morning 28 September 2020, the cat was at death's door with Diabetic Ketoacidosis.
Dr Gerard, was not informed by his staff to come into the practice because Rocky was presenting with life-threatening complications. Incidentally Dr Gerard didn't even know that Rocky was so sick. After receiving Rocky back home, I contacted Dr Gerard's office to ask why my cat was so deathly ill. His staff nonchalantly spilled the beans - that's how I found out.
I rushed Rocky to VSH hospital within 2 hours where he was treated for 4 nights under emergency room care. My dear cat's life was saved by VSH hospital. The veterinarians at VSH in Palm Beach Gardens were in absolute shock at the level of neglect by Dr Gerard and Jupiter Animal Hospital.
The bill from them amounted to thousands of dollars, but of course Dr Gerard rejected that too, and tried to deflect blame onto the hapless pet owner - myself - for his total and complete ineptitude. Dr Gerard is not only an incompetent vet, he is a terrible person whose arrogance gets in the way of doing the right thing.
