We had an excellent experience at Urban Pawz Animal Clinic with Dr. Marcelle. From the reception to the nurses, everyone was welcoming, kind, and very attentive, providing a truly humanized service.

Dr. Marcelle is amazing! Very caring, patient, and thorough in her explanations, which made us feel confident and at ease. Our dog (Billy) was treated with great care and affection.

We highly recommend Urban Pawz Clinic!

I had an amazing experience at Urban Pawz Animal Clinic with Dr. Marcelle and her assistant , from the moment I arrived, the team was warm, welcoming, and truly caring. Dr. Marcelle took her time to examine my dog Nico, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood each step of the treatment.
The clinic is clean, modern, organized, and you can tell they genuinely love animals. Nico felt safe and comfortable the entire time, which means everything to me.

Took my two cats to see Dr. Dias today and it was honestly the best veterinary experience we’ve had since moving to the U.S. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive the whole time. You can tell she truly cares about the animals and takes the time to make them feel safe instead of rushing through the appointment.

Her assistant was also wonderful and helped create a calm environment for the cats. One of my cats gets very nervous and sometimes urinates when stressed, and they were so understanding about it. They even offered to change the pad in the carrier and gave them Churu treats to help them relax. Small gestures like that make a huge difference for both the pets and the owners.

The whole visit felt thoughtful, gentle, and very professional. It’s rare to find a place where the staff treats your pets with that level of care and patience. We left feeling really grateful.

Dr. Dias will definitely be our cats’ veterinarian from now on. Highly recommend.

I’ve been bringing my dog to Dr. Marcelle for over seven years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care we receive. She is an exceptional professional—knowledgeable, attentive, and truly passionate about what she does. The clinic is not only beautiful and welcoming, but it also has an atmosphere that makes you forget you’re even in a veterinary facility. I absolutely love her work and the outstanding environment she has created. Highly recommended!

I had such a wonderful experience at Urban Paws Animal Clinic! I brought my 5-year-old Maltese, and from the moment we walked in, the entire team made us feel so welcome and cared for. The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and professional — you can tell they truly love animals and take the time to make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable.

Dr Marcelle was gentle, thorough, and explained everything clearly, which really put me at ease. My Maltese was calm the whole time (which never happens at vet visits!), and I could tell she was being treated with genuine care.

The clinic itself is clean, modern, and organized — and the attention to detail in how they handle each appointment really stands out. I left feeling confident that my dog was in the best hands possible.

I highly recommend Urban Paws Animal Clinic to anyone looking for compassionate, high-quality veterinary care. They’ve definitely earned our trust and future visits!

What a fantastic find for those that love their pets! Dr. Dias and her team (shout out to Noelle) are wonderful. The space is very modern and inviting to both pets and their owners and the obvious love and attention to pets is obvious. We had a counseling session for our little guy for weight problems, and Noelle did a fantastic job of walking us steps to keep him healthy. He also had surgery to have two teeth removed for his cleaning. While not cheap, it was incredibly professional. I would not just our little guy to any else. Steven

All I can say is wow!! We have been searching for a vet that we liked and was taking new patients since moving to this area 4 years ago. The clinic is beautiful, clean, comfortable & warm. The office staff was amazing, and Dr. Dias was so wonderful and thorough. We found our new “fur-ever” animal clinic, for our beloved dog, Kaine..

The facility is beautiful, modern, and welcoming, and the entire team goes above and beyond to make sure every fur baby receives the best treatment. Dr. Marcelle and Brian have truly created a space filled with compassion, professionalism, and love for our community’s pets. So grateful !

Last Monday, I was faced with the heartbreaking decision to put my cat down. I was distraught and anxious the entire day, calling around and eventually choosing to take her to Urban Pawz.
I can honestly say I have never been treated with as much compassion and care at any other vet. The staff was absolutely amazing—so kind, supportive, and consoling. They made me feel truly comforted and accommodated during one of the most difficult moments of my life, allowing me to say a peaceful goodbye to my beloved pet.
I would highly recommend Urban Pawz to anyone. The staff, the doctor—everyone—was incredible.

I’ve known Dr. Marcele for many years, and she’s been taking care of my Golden with incredible love and dedication since we got her. She’s truly exceptional — not just highly skilled, but also one of the most caring and compassionate professionals I’ve ever met. Now that she has her own clinic, I couldn’t be more excited! The clinic is amazing — modern, clean, and with great facilities that show how much thought, and care went into creating this space.

Dr. Dias is the most amazing vet, and my dog Bailey absolutely loves her! She’s kind, compassionate, and incredible at what she does. Her passion for caring for animals is clear in every visit. She’s been taking care of my 2-year-old Cane Corso since he was a puppy, and I trust her completely. Her new practice is beautiful, welcoming, and by far the cleanest vet clinic I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend!

After 15 years in America, I finally found a truly special place for my Shih Tzu. This clinic is absolutely exceptional — probably the best in Florida, maybe even the whole USA. The Brazilian veterinarian is incredibly skilled and caring, the clinic is spotless, elegant, and fully equipped with everything from a surgical center to travel documentation, all in one place. Every single staff member is kind and attentive, and the doctors… simply beyond words. I feel so grateful to have found them.
Thank you Dr. Marcelle

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed, beautiful decor, a calm atmosphere, and a warm welcome from everyone I encountered. The entire team, from the front desk to the vet staff, was genuinely kind and attentive. After having so many disappointing experiences with other vets, finding this place feels like such a relief. They treated my pet with compassion, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made us both feel truly cared for. I can honestly say this is the best veterinary experience I’ve ever had!

Urban Paws Veterinary Clinic is exactly what this area needed. We brought our dog, Mabel, in for a visit and were blown away by the experience. The clinic is spotless and modern, and every staff member we met was kind, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Dr. Dias-Appelblatt was exceptional — gentle, thorough, and took time to make sure all our questions were answered. You can tell they’ve built a place that truly puts pets (and their humans!) at ease. We’ll definitely be back.

My cat and I recently had an appointment at Urban Pawz Animal Clinic CoconutCreek. From the esthetically pleasing waiting room to the calming aroma therapy and fuzzy blankets awaiting my pet, I knew I had chosen the right place. Dr. Dias-Appleblatt is an extraordinary vet practicing solid medicine.
She has surrounded herself with a team of like minded employees. All are highly credentialed and share their knowledge and love for your pet with every aspect of the visit. It's not just a"catch"phrase over their door. You really do leave feeling as if you are part of a family!
