Terrible, money hungry practice.
Mixed feelings about this place. We took our beloved dog here when he developed an auto immune disorder that our regular vet could no longer treat. On the positive side, this place is truly a beautiful facility that could easily pass for a hospital for humans. The two specialists that our dog saw here were both very kind and professional, though some of the vet's "nurses" seemed a little rough with the dog. The procedures here seem to be way, way overpriced. I got the impression that they are taking considerable advantage of... read more
Don't Take Your Pet Here! We've had 3 separate experiences with Vet Specialty Center and after our second vowed never to go back. Unfortunately for our dog, Mila, we went back on our own word. Do not take your pet here unless you want to risk their lives and pay thousands of dollars to do so. The problem with this business (and it is a business), is that they have great specialists which is what brings you there in the first place, but the support staff, ER staff, and even reception staff is for the most part awful. They lac... read more
Very Pleased Medical procedures in general are expensive period. You get what you pay for and if you need more than routine medical procedures or care for your loved one, VSC is the place to go. Dr. Mordecai and his technician Lori have been great in the treatment and care of our oldest cat, who had a tricky diagnosis. She is finally well on her way back and we cant thank them both for the time they took to answer our questions and address our concerns. They also took great care of our girl all the while she was there. Any t... read more
Do not take your pet to VSC The public needs to be aware that the co-owner Mitch Robbins was DISCIPLINED by the IDFPR in 2002 for "inadvertently operating on the wrong leg." Always (yelp etc) scroll to the very bottom where it says "reviews not recommended." They are all negative and they all speak the truth that is why they are hidden. Our first visit with VSC set alarms off. After an extremely brief clinical impression by one of their vets two women immediately came in. The one woman was evaluating our finance plan for the... read more
Sad Outcome I brought my one year old Canada lynx Juneau in there for an MRI back in November 2010. He was experiencing dizziness and had been walking unsteadily for many months. No vet could figure out what was going on despite thousands of dollars worth of tests. The staff at VSC LOVED Juneau him and gave him a lot of attention. They were extremely sweet to me. However, the MRI tech had called off that day and I had to wait well over an hour for her replacement to come in. I was so upset, as I'd already traveled an hour an... read more
VSC can do what others can't! This is the "Mayo Clinic" for Pets. I have seen most of the Vets here and have not had a bad experience. The surgeons are awesome - Dr Robbins and Dr. Pare are excellent. Dr Feinmehl the Oncologist saved my dog who had cancer. The Rehab staff is excellent as well. They use a team approach if necessary. If your regular vet can't handle it, this is THE place to come. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for! I highly recommend this practice!
VSC the BEST ! In 2007 a veterinarian told me that my cat was bored and gave me a spray for his chewing on his right rear leg. . . . 4 veterinarians later, I finally made it to Vet Specialty Center where Dr Noonan was able to finally diagnose a Nocardial cellulitis/osteomyelitis and provide treatment. Unfortunately the aggressive nature of this bacteria had caused so much damage that amputation was the only answer.Dr. Robbins did a great job too.I can't sing enough good praises about this place, its staff and doctors.Would h... read more
Horrible!!!! I have been waiting here for 3 hours and every time I asked how long do I still have to wait, they said they don’t know. Good thing they are moving!!!
