Beaux after treatment
Madeline C.

My little guy Beaux had slipped a disc in his back and was in a lot of pain. They took us immediately, were super friendly, communicated well and i am really halpy and satisfied with the service they provided. They also treated his pain right away. Thank you all so much!

This behavior is definitely unacceptable!  I think communication from staff would probably cut down on these issues.

We recently moved to Florida, and noticed one of our cats was hiding, and acting sickly. After researching vets in the area, we found that there weren't any immediate appointments available with anybody. We decided to take her to this emergency animal hospital as it was close, and open on a Sunday. For whatever reason, this facility requires customers and their furry patients wait outside and call upon arrival. We arrived at 11:15 for our 11:30 appointment time. A staff member came out fairly quickly, asked a few questions, then took our cat back with her in a carrier. So far so good. Sadly, that's where the good ended. There was NO communication from staff whatsoever for HOURS. No updates, no nothing. We ended up calling at 2:30 (still waiting in the parking lot), to be told our pet had been examined, but that the vet still had to talk with us. We waited another hour, and called back at 3:30. The person who answered abruptly put us on hold and retrieved the vet. The vet was friendly, and had many recommendation on tests, etc. The prices were not just excessive - they were borderline insane! After much deliberation with the staff, they agreed to treat minimally, until we could establish with a local vet. Anti-inflammatory pills, and liquid antibiotics were prescribed. More time passed - it would be after 5pm - NEARLY SIX HOURS LATER, that we had our pet back in the truck. Six hours for an exam and two scripts - absolutely mind-boggling, and a complete waste of time for all involved. At NO POINT did anyone inform us of the wait time. There was NO communication from staff - no updates, no progress reports - NOTHING. A call or text would have been very professional on their part! We had to make all the calls. If we hadn't called, we might still be waiting there now! The sign outside the office warning customers about their "behavior", as well as the filthy port-a-potty for customer use should have been big red flags - I missed them both. My advice to customers would be: 1. Don't bring your pet here unless they are SEVERELY ill, in pain, suffering, or actively dying. 2. Come here prepared to wait. Bring food, water, and entertainment. 3. Don't bring your kids (see #2 above). 4. If you do come here, be prepared to pay high prices. 5. Re-read tip #1. My advice to the business would be to COMMUNICATE with your customers - keep them in the loop, and be honest about potential wait times and/or delays due to more serious emergencies coming in. Given how much you charge for your services, you should be able to afford to hire another person to update customers, thereby freeing up your other staff. Just a suggestion.

I am so grateful for the Animal Emergency Hospital. We went this weekend for our jack russel/chi mix. We had trimmed her nails and one just was cut too short. We tried everything and couldn't get it to stop and it's crazy how much blood there was. She's not a big dog (well a bit on the heavy side) and it became very concerning just how much blood she was losing. Took her to the Animal Emergency Hospital and they got us in quickly and got her back to normal. They were wonderful and we were so glad they were there!!

Misdiagnosed my dog's condition prolonging ACTUAL treatment , we took our dog Raven to another Emergency vet an hour away , that properly cared for , diagnosed and treated our dog . The vet Cassandra Lee Van Nieuwal a new vet at this Local animal hospital , this could have went differently with communication but she failed us on her so called friday , overtired this 33 yr old misdiagnosed , failed us with her poor Communication, to trying to Hard Sell us , Thousands of dollars later leaving the vet work unsupervised to a helper , Giving a one star is overly generous to such a poorly run outfit ,after hours. The owner will be hearing from our attorney and I will also be making sure that this sort of event does not happen to any unsuspecting animal lover and resident . We were the only residents here on this day at this time. Avid this place if this vet is your only choice .

They were kind during the last moments of my beloved cat's last moments. Boyar was almost 17 years old. Thank you all for your sympathy and care.

When you pull up

Another wonderful visit in a time when your fur baby is not feeling well. The routine since 2020 COVID is to pull up airside at the spots labeled 1-10 and call the number. You can fill out the intake form online or they will bring it out to you to fill out. Then a tech will come out and take your info and what is wrong. The vet calls you in a bit with the exam and a plan. You get pricing up front and can agree or disagree to what you want. Our Vet today was Dr. Bogosian and she was great. The staff we felt with in person were all great as well. I would recommend bringing folding chairs so you can have a place to sit in a shaded spot rather than sitting in your car with the engine running for 1 to 3 hours depending on how long it takes. Our Ollie is doing better - thanks

Fraud! I took my sick cat there at the recommendation of a vet (because the vet was too busy). They took the cat in from the parking lot (like we are still full COVID lockdown) and pet "parents" were not allowed in the building. They called in 12 minutes (no way they had time evaluate him) and said they would keep him 60 hours and the bill would be $4000 WITHOUT me ever meeting the vet or any techs! This is for a cat who was playing, and eating an hour ago. The staff was rude and hateful when I asked them to bring the cat out so I could get him care someplace else. They called me "incompetent" (wrong use of word) when I asked again to bring my cat out. I would not take a dead opossum there much less a beloved pet. FOLLOW-UP: I immediately took my sweet cat to another vet. I was treated with respect, got to go inside, speak at length with the vet and staff. My cat was treated and the same procedure was $1200. I took him home the same day. And he is well! The ERHV is a horrible place and use extortion and cruelty in the most difficult times. AND I WISH I had read the YELP reviews before pulling into their prison-like facility.

Post surgery visit with my little guy.
Doreen B.

One of my TNR kitties had his rear leg run over by a neighbor. He disappeared for a couple of days. When he came home we brought him to the emergency vet hospital. The staff is so very professional and amazingly kind. My boy had to have surgery to put his leg back in place. He is only 6 months old and has his whole life still to love on me. Obviously I went for the surgery option. The only other option was euthanasia which was not appropriate in this case. Yes it cost money to perform surgery and overnight care. The bill ran me $5k. Yes that is alot of money but reality is, it is not alot of money when you think about it. These are medical professionals with lots of overhead to operate a 24/7 365 days a year emergency animal hospital. Everything in this world is so expensive. Heck, how much is a stay in a human hospital overnight. Vets are doctors too with all the same kind of overhead to pay for. I know the money part can be difficult but it is more about the quality of life for the pet. The doctor was so caring and genuinely concerned. Ok the wait time when you arrive can be excruciating BUT you get to wait in your vehicle so you can talk on the phone, watch tv, listen to music, take a snooze. This is no different then taking your human loved one to an emergency hospital. You wait in a waiting room for hours before you know whats going on. Doctors, nurses and staff have many others they are trying to help, diagnose and triage, all behind the scenes. So give them a break and let them do their work with a clear head, not with someone being nasty or rude to them prior to maybe your pets surgery. Remember that the outcome of your pet may not always be what we hope for and that is not the doctor's fault so don't take it out on them. You will still owe the bill even if your pet passes same as you would with a hospital for humans. FYI my bionic boy is coming home today. Thank you Animal Emergency Doctors and Staff. Remember you have to visit your pet during their hospital stay to encourage them just as you would your visit your human loved one in a hospital. Just leave the flowers home and bring treats instead.

See all

I don't think I will ever have enough words to express how grateful I am to this veterinary team…read more They saved my baby Ónyx's life. Ónyx was only 9 weeks old when he accidentally swallowed a piece of a treat that became lodged in his airway. We brought him in because his breathing sounded strange, but we could have never imagined how quickly everything would change. The director immediately performed X-rays, and within less than 30 minutes, Ónyx went into respiratory shock. From that moment, I watched the entire team move with an urgency, coordination, and dedication that I will never forget. Everyone ran to help my puppy. Dr. Timberlake had to perform an emergency endoscopy to remove the foreign object from his airway a procedure that carried significant risk for such a tiny, 9-week-old puppy. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. Dr. Timberlake successfully removed the object and saved Ónyx's life. Afterward, he remained under constant observation and oxygen support for hours. Dr. Peña was absolutely wonderful as well, and every single assistant treated Ónyx with so much love, gentleness, and respect. They did not leave him alone for even one second. There was always someone watching him, caring for him, and making sure he was safe. As a pet mom standing there terrified and feeling completely helpless, seeing the way this team cared for my baby meant more than I can explain. They didn't treat Ónyx like "just another patient." They treated him like his life mattered. They treated him like the deeply loved baby that he is to us. Because of their knowledge, their quick response, their teamwork, and their dedication, I have my baby home with me today. I can watch him eat, sleep, play, and be his happy little self again. There is no review and no amount of stars that could ever truly represent the gratitude I feel. Dr. Timberlake, Dr. Peña, and the entire team: thank you from the deepest part of my heart. Thank you for running for my puppy. Thank you for not giving up on him. Thank you for caring for him every single second. Thank you for saving Ónyx. I will be eternally grateful to all of you. Because of you, I still have my baby with me.

Our sweet Charlie ended up at the emergency vet with a bladder obstruction that required surgery…read more What started as straining to pee turned into a whirlwind of ER visits, anesthesia, and a major procedure to remove stones from his bladder. I don't usually share personal stuff like this, but I'm making this post for one reason only. If you ever have an emergency with your pet, go to VEG ER for Pets. When we were trying to find a vet to perform the surgery, our VEG doctor sat there and personally called vet after vet to get someone to fit us in. And when we finally found the right place, she stayed on the phone with the surgeon and fully briefed him on Charlie's condition so there was not a single gap in his care. They kept us informed, comforted, and confident that our boy was in the best hands. He made it through surgery like a champ and finally came home but after we got him settled, his temperature dropped and we had to rush him back to VEG. They immediately took him in, warmed him, ran an ultrasound to make sure nothing was wrong, monitored him until he was stable... and didn't charge us a dime. Because of how long this whole process was, and having to go back again, we saw three different doctors at VEG, and every single one of them treated Charlie (and us) with the exact same level of urgency, compassion, and kindness. That consistency in care meant everything to us. Charlie is home now, snuggled in blankets, eating, and slowly getting stronger! If you ever face an emergency with your fur baby, VEG is the place to go. We are beyond grateful and will recommend them to anyone and everyone.

The staff that work here are exceptional. While waiting for treatment for my cat, I witnessed two…read moreseparate families come in with gifts and gratitude (and chick fillet!) to the staff for the care their pets received. I also witnessed the staff have incredible compassion and practice ethically. An elderly woman came in with her cat, concerned about the cats eyes. After a thorough exam, she was told her cat was perfectly healthy and there was nothing to be concerned with. They didn't charge her for the exam, which I could tell was a big stress relief for her. In total I spent 3 hours here and my cat and I received exceptional care. I also witnessed the true hero's that wok here in their element. I highly recommend this place if you are ever in need of emergency vet care. 11/10!

Dr. Vukich was THE MAN. He listened to us when we voiced our concerns, he shared his thoughts and suggested course of action, and we had shared decision making. He made sure to update us before surgery, after surgery, at the beginnings/ends of his shifts. We appreciated that SO MUCH. He was wonderful and saved our sweet boy. Jessica, one of the vet techs, was super sweet as well. Very understanding of our concerns and made sure we knew we could call at anytime for updates. The people at the front desk and others we interacted with were at times dismissive of our concerns, but thank goodness Dr. Vukich listened to our concerns and saved our kitty!

Exceptional Care at First Coast Veterinary!!!!…read more I can't say enough good things about First Coast Veterinary on Jacksonville Drive. They have taken such wonderful care of Abby, especially after her major foot surgery. From the moment we walked in, the staff was compassionate, patient, and truly committed to helping her heal. They explained every step of her treatment clearly, kept us informed, and treated Abby like she was their own. Her recovery has been smoother and less stressful because of the attention and expertise they provided. It's rare to find a veterinary team that combines skill with such genuine kindness, but this clinic absolutely does. I'm incredibly grateful for everything they've done for Abby. If you're looking for a place that will go above and beyond for your pet during an emergency or complex surgery, I highly recommend First Coast Veterinary!

When I tell you the doctor saved my dog's life after an attack by an unknown animal (though…read moresuspected coyote because of where we were), I mean it. I had originally brought my boy to a different emergency vet and they did everything wrong, but I didn't know it until my pup was getting worse (much worse) within a couple days. I brought him to Dr. Hassan and he very quickly made a turn for the better. And when that same dog had a stroke a year ago, Doc did everything right. Dr. Hassan gave me 2.5 more active, healthy years with my pup than I otherwise would have had. How do I quantify what that means to me? I can't. The entire staff is incredible. They truly do care. My dog died in July. He was up at my parents' house in Georgia for a visit (their dog and mine were besties). He was fine when I left, but a few days later he was not at all fine. I called Dr. Hassan and even though I couldn't bring Floyd () in since he was out of state, after telling them what was going on with him, Dr. prescribed meds for him as a last-ditch effort. They filled them on site, I picked them up, and made a mad dash to get to him. It was too late by the time I got to him because I couldn't get the meds in him and he died just a few hours later (so the meds would not have helped at that point anyway), but just the fact that they gave me the opportunity to try means the world to me.
