Kandi, my 24 lb Beagle was attacked by a 110 lb dog and tore several places in her groin, stomach and neck. Gulf Coast was so good with her and really cared for Kandi. She went in late on a Friday night and I picked her up early Saturday morning. It was very traumatic for me and Kandi as we were flooded out of our home also from Hurricane Harvey. So we have been through a lot. I would trust them again. Kandi is doing great. Don't hesitate on using this after hour’s emergency facility. Gulf Coast will only do what's best for your pet.

NOT a good place to take yours pets, they do NOT express compassion. Your dog can be dying and if you don't have money you will get terrible service. All they want is your money, they couldn't careless about your animal living or dying. They don't even let you pay in payments you have to pay up front right at the moment thousands of dollars or you will get no service. They are cold hearted people who don't care about nothing more then your money.

My previous Google review of GCVS was effectively banished when the main hospital's business hours were changed to permanently closed. I understand that surgery services will be available at this location as well as "mobile" (i.e., at local veterinary practices), so I am reposting my review here.

-----------------------------

We have used GCVS for 3 different dogs' specialty needs over the past decade and a half and, until our most recent experience, have been pleased with the excellent care provided. (We would rate our prior experiences 5 stars and the most recent experience negative stars, if possible.)

When Dog #3 was diagnosed with an ACL / CCL tear and surgery was recommended, we gladly paid the premium, trusting the so-called “world-renowned” specialist's reported caseload and “minimally-invasive” technique meant that our dog would be in good hands... yet nothing about the "repair" felt quite right; and, unfortunately, our dog suffered significant pain, poorer function, and complications requiring another surgery, physical therapy, and ultimately euthanasia.

Many troubling facts led us to file a complaint with the veterinary board; however, the veterinary board was recently declared as in shambles with enforcement (or lack thereof) being a key issue. Thus far, the veterinarian has continued to practice without consequence. In the meantime, similarly unfortunate scenarios have played out in other animals.

As recently suggested by another reviewer, it may be worth seeking second opinions (and sometimes waiting things out, if appropriate) before proceeding with orthopedic surgery, particularly if the procedure is elective (thereby affording the gift of time). Since outcomes can be worse than what prompted your visit, make sure you ask questions, fully understand, and are comfortable with the risk-benefit ratio of the intervention being recommended.

Notably, a CBLO surgery was the cruciate "repair" used in our dog, and its problematic outcomes appear not to be isolated to him.

Diagnosed my dog with a brain tumor. I called to ask if a symptom she was having was a way in which the tumor would manifest AFTER i was told there were a variety of ways it would present once it would be time to put her down and quality of life would start being affected. They refused to look at her file, or answer my question without bringing my dog, who was vomiting non stop and suffering from a brain tumor, into the office 30m away. All these people care about is money. I've never heard of a vet who won't call you after hours ESPECIALLY A SPECIALIST. HORRIBLE PEOPLE, TERRIBLE SERVICE. Charged $3000 to diagnose my dog with cancer, but couldn't be troubled to say "yes, no or maybe." I'd have been happy to bring my dog in, with additional guidance, but could not even get that. I spoke with Tiffany, who wouldn't even call the doctor to ask! DISGUSTED, DISGUSTED, DISGUSTED!

After 5 consultations with their various departments, over $4k spent in expensive tests that they ordered, they still cannot tell me what is wrong with my golden retriever. They always tip-toe around a diagnosis and order more expensive tests that only benefit their wallet. NOT a good place to take your pets.
