West Ave Animal Hospital

4997 W Atlantic Ave d, Delray Beach, FL, 33445

An independent Delray Beach practice built around Michael Posner, DVM, with more than 55 years in the profession: Tuskegee trained, the Animal Medical Center in New York, nine years as a veterinarian for the NYPD, and three hospitals of his own in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Lake Worth from 1980 to 1995. He came out of a ten-year retirement to do house calls, and most services can be done in the client's home alongside the clinic on West Atlantic Avenue.

Before the bill

Pet insurance covers the next thing, not this one.

Anything already going on counts as pre-existing from the day a policy starts. That is why the time to look is before the visit that costs, not after it.
