Our Story

About St. Francis Animal Clinic

At our family-owned veterinary clinic in Miami, we care for your pets with the same compassion and attention we’d give our own. With over 28 years of experience, our team is proud to provide trusted, community-focused care for dogs and cats in Miami and Kendall.

Compassionate Pet Care, Right Here in Miami

At St. Francis Animal Clinic, we believe pets are family and deserve to be treated that way. As a family-owned animal clinic, we aim to create a warm, friendly atmosphere where pets and their people feel truly supported. Whether you’re visiting for a routine checkup or something more urgent, we approach each case with professionalism, empathy, and personal care.

Our clinic is led by Dr. Hector C. Martinez, a seasoned veterinarian with over 28 years of experience in small animal medicine. His dedication to high-quality care and clear communication has made him a trusted name for local pet parents seeking a caring vet in Miami, FL.

We’ve built our reputation on kindness, transparency, and the belief that veterinary care should be as stress-free as possible — for both pets and their people. From the moment you walk through our doors at the Shoppes @ 104, you’ll find a team committed to making your visit easy, informative, and comfortable.

Our facility is clean, modern, and equipped to handle a range of services — from preventive care to surgery, dental cleanings, and diagnostics. But more than that, we’re proud of the calm, welcoming environment we’ve created — a place where tail wags, gentle voices, and genuine connections come standard.

We’re here for your pet’s whole journey — from playful puppy visits to attentive senior care — and we’re honored to be your partners in health every step of the way.
