    I fully believe my cat had substandard care. He died about a month post surgery. He had a leg…read moreremoved for likely cancer. It wasn't cancer. I asked another vet to read the chart after he passed and was told there was no firm indication of cancer. I asked about specific words to Dr. Depompeo about the look of the mass. She said those words (speculated, spiny, outward reaching) were in the chart. I sure can't find them when I read it! I believe she failed to look at the chart and lied. If an animal dies in a month after surgery, if I head that dept, you better be damn sure we would know WHY the animal passed. He was 8 years old. His name was Freud. The medical director is a smug, arrogant weasel, in my humble opinion. I call this place the BUTCHER SHOP. Please GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!

    On 8-31-25 at 6pm we arrived at Blue Pearl with our 2.5 year old English Cream Golden Retriever,…read moreDolly. She had her first seizure on 8-23-25 in which we took her to our vet for an exam and bloodwork. We were hopeful it would be her last but were not so lucky. On 8-30-25 she had her 2nd seizure followed by two more on 8-31-25. Upon arriving at Blue Pearl, Dolly's vitals were taken within an hour then she was placed in their ICU for observation. We anticipated a long wait and were advised of such on the phone. Blue Pearl definitely had a busy day and we were able to see and speak with Dr. Simchik at 4:30 am. Dr. Simchik was great at providing us with pertinent information as well as a course of action. She was emphatic and had great interpersonal skills. All the staff we encountered were great. The waiting room was clean, had good coffee and televisions. I would highly recommend Blue Pearl

    BluePearl is a chain of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals in dozens of states across the…read morecountry. This particular BluePearl location was formerly called the Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center (PVSEC). It has a 24-hour emergency department and also offers specialty services such as cardiology, neurology, dermatology, oncology, ophthalmology, surgeries, and others. For probably over a decade, I have taken my cats and dog here. Below are details about some visits in the past couple of years: Story #1: In January 2024, my husband and I noticed that our dog Olive had an unsteady gait on all four legs, completely stopped eating food and drinking water, and had urinary incontinence. An emergency veterinarian at BluePearl did a physical exam and an x-ray for Olive. The veterinarian diagnosed Olive as having hip dysplasia. She gave Olive an injection of methadone, prescribed a short course of gabapentin, and told us to follow up with our regular veterinarian in several days. This emergency visit cost $608. My husband and I thought that this diagnosis and treatment were incorrect, so on the next morning, we returned to BluePearl. A different veterinarian performed a more thorough physical exam, and she noticed that Olive's eyes were blind. An ophthalmologist said that Olive's optic nerves were inflamed. I requested a neurology consult. The neurologist admitted Olive to the ICU. He ordered vital signs, laboratory tests, an IV catheter and medications, a ventilator, an x-ray, an MRI, etcetera. Hours later, the neurologist told us that Olive had "by far the worst scenario": brain cancer that had spread through much of her brain. Later that day, a different veterinarian euthanized Olive. The total cost for the emergency department, ICU, and euthanasia was $5,688. -------------- Story #2: In February 2024, my cat Nika strained to urinate and had red urine, so we took her to BluePearl. A veterinarian performed laboratory tests and an ultrasound. Several hours hours later, the veterinarian diagnosed Nika with kidney disease and a urinary tract infection, and she ordered an antibiotic and a pain medication. The total cost for this visit was significantly higher than the estimate and was $1,225. In March 2024, Nika's regular veterinarian could not determine what was causing her days-long inappetence and constipation, so he referred us to BluePearl's emergency department. At BluePearl, the employees at the front desk said that a veterinarian would be assigned to Nika in a couple of hours, but the wait time was actually several hours. Around 3 AM, a veterinarian called me and said that we had previously consented to spending $4,000-6,000, but we had actually been told $2,000-4,000. The veterinarian performed laboratory tests and an abdominal ultrasound, and she ordered IV fluids, an enema, and several medications for nausea and vomiting, appetite, etcetera. We kept Nika in the hospital for two nights for a total cost of $4,046. I thought that the veterinarian performed the correct tests and treatments and that she gave the correct post-discharge instructions. In the following months, we took Nika here for a couple more visits. Generally across all of our visits, the wait times were long, the final costs were significantly higher than the estimates that we had been given, and BluePearl has not always communicated test results to our regular veterinarian or even to me, so we wasted that money. As a result, we will still consider using BluePearl for after-hours emergencies, but I feel eager to try a couple other veterinarian hospitals that are opening near me.

    If we listened to the doctor at this place on Monday our cat would have been euthanized yesterday…read moreper her recommendation. We have Pet insurance but she insisted there was nothing we could do for a tumor in the brain. Alas! We found a doctor in New Jersey that can remove tumors. So we drove 5 hours to find out there was No Tumor was in his brain!! We were lied to and almost murdered our King for no reason! I'm beyond pissed. We will be in after our New Jersey vet visit to discuss this in person. Face to face. Do better. Be better, "Doctor." zero 0

They triaged her without bothering to check her blood sugar - so apparently after taking five minutes to look at her, taking her blood sugar to make sure she was stable was too much effort. We have been waiting since 9. Its almost 2. We were just informed they wont see her for several hours. They have an "emergency". I want to be clear my issue is not w that. But with the fact they have one doctor on staff an emergency vet so they are prepared for one emergency a night? They decided on a whim my dog wasnt an emergency without checking her. Then waited hours to tell us about the wait after lying to my face and telling us we could go elsewhere. Horrible care, unprepared. Shes been puking for hours, diarrhea, and diabetic . Shes also 14. This is a big deal for an older dog which is why we drove 2 hours for care because our vet closes early. Dont go here if you have a choice. Read reviews on google if you dont believe. Evil, sham practice. I joined yelp so I could warn others abojt these assholes.
