I had an emergency this morning and needed to be seen immediately. The name of this place includes the word "Hospital." Their website says they take pets with emergencies and yet they happen to not have any emergency staff today despite having plenty of staff ordering their morning Starbucks this morning. They get suggested I go to a pet urgent care down the road... which doesn't open for 4 more hours. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? If my dog had a life threatening emergency from an accident he would have been dead. My dog needed an emergency blood test to check for a fast moving infection and they pushed me away. You shouldn't be allowed to call yourself a "hospital" of any kind. I would have let it go if you had sent me somewhere that was actually open. What a disgrace. read more

The front desk was helpful and accommodating but once we got back in the room it was a different vibe. I wanted to like the vet because it's so close to where we live and seems like a small practice. We originally came from a small practice in Charlotte and had a great experience. My girlfriend was reluctant to go to this vet. I should have listened to her. First the vet tech had such a flat affect it made me uncomfortable. Most importantly, the vet acted as this was an emergency. It was so emergent she was speaking so fast and barely let me speak. She heard me but didn't actually listen. Then I call the place they referred me to and they said they were gonna close in 30 min. Why send a referral out there if you knew it was going to close. If you didn't know about their actual times, own up to it. Don't give false hours. The worst part was the referral that was sent was just squinty eye. Not even close to lens luxation like they had kept telling me. Those are two different things. I was not impressed. And we will not be bringing the rest of our crew over there. read more

Decent vet for annual physicals and routine vaccinations, that's it. They sometimes can do "walk in" appointments the next day, but be forewarned that there will be no follow up. They will not return phone calls. They absolutely refused to call me back or schedule a follow up appointment when my cat's eye scratch didn't heal after a week. Wouldn't call me back for 2 business days, and then when I got them to email the records so we could go to the ER, they had lied about when I originally called. They documented that it was in the afternoon, when I really called in the morning. They cut off 12 hours from their response time to make themselves look better. (And still no vet ever called me back) The fact that they would lie in the legal medical record, especially about something so minor, is an enormous red flag. What do they do when they make a big mistake? Go elsewhere, for your pet's sake. read more

Excellent care for my elderly Shepard in a timely manner (same day). This was our first appointment. The veterinarian was so pleasant and knowledgable about our breeds medical issues. We've been back for our dog's monthly osteoarthritis injection. She is comfortable and moving so much better . read more

Just had a visit with my 8 year old cat. They said I had to have an annual exam to get a rabies vaccination. Well the annual exam lasted at most 5 minutes. I feel like I've been duped. Cost was 123$. I called another local vet to see what they charged. First of all I was told that I could get the cats rabies vaccination for $19 and not have an annual exam. And if I did need an annual exam, the cost would be $82 which included the rabies vaccination. Brunswick forest vet thinks very highly of themselves. I consider it price gouging? The office manager said the difference is the quality of service. Really! There wasn't much time for quality service. I'll be driving a few minutes away to save a hundred bucks. read more

I brought my cat here because she had stopped eating, it was the Friday before the holiday weekend and I couldn't get an appointment at the Sound Cat. Dr. Terry took xrays and told me to give my cat hairball medicine. SHE DIED. I had the records sent to the Sound Cat and they informed me that the records from Dr. Terry showed she had a very high fever and an intestinal blockage which appeared on the xrays. I can only assume Dr. Terry didn't want to be bothered because it was right before the holiday weekend. If he had treated her properly she would still be alive. If you care about your pet, go somewhere else. read more

We brought our Yorkie in to be checked on August 6th because she wasn't eating or drinking. They determined she was in liver failure and needed to be transported to the ER for overnight fluid therapy. They gave her a bulbous of fluid to "hold her over" for the 25 minute drive to the ER and gave her fluid- overload, causing an enlarged heart. As a result, she now has an enlarged heart which caused fluid to enter her lungs. This was determined by the vet at the ER. Prior to the visit to Brunswick Forest Vet, her heart and lungs were fine. Now they are unable to treat her kidneys due to her newly developed cardiac issue. read more

I am a new patient here and new resident to Wilmington and I LOVE them! They have been so friendly, welcoming, and care for my two cats already. They've been accommodating with my schedule in trying to get me in when I am able to. They communicate very well and have provided me with my cats prescription food as soon as they could giving me caps reassuring that it was on its way. I brought in my cat who had been sick for few days but after talking about symptoms and behaviors we think it was a stomach ache or inflammation. I was so appreciative that the veterinarian didn't push tests, blood work, or anything else beyond the exam that he didn't think was needed. He took the time to show me how to apply medicine to her eye, told me to watch over her symptoms if they got worse bring her back And I was on my way (she felt much better within a day). I recommend them very much and I will be sticking with them! read more

BFV Hospital is great! From check-in/-out staff, to the techs, to the docs! We spoke with several vets in other towns and were not impressed. This practice is exceptional, as was evinced by the fact that Dr. Terry came "outside," (COVID 19, of course,) he did not just call, and spoke at length regarding our pup's issues. Our new 4+ year old adoption is battling heartworm issues and the doc was very reassuring and comforting. Truly great place, as I use my good friend Dr. Z's VET 20+ year practice in MD as my benchmark. read more

Our dogs have been patients of BFV hospital for a little over a year. We were so happy to find a veterinary hospital that provides outstanding care from the entire team! Everyone cares for your pets as if they were their own! It is so comforting to know that our pets are given excellent care for all visits. They are always professional, very knowledgeable and communicate clearly. read more

First I want to say Dr. Z is the BEST Veterinarian I've ever encountered. Every time I call to make an appointment for my dog staff are friendly, accommodate me by letting me choose a time, which is very beneficial as I work night shift. Most recent visit was to get my dog updated on her shots and I talked to Dr. Z about her separation anxiety. Next thing you know we're talking for about 30 mins about my dog and his dog and laughing about their antics and I didn't feel rushed. He's always so caring about your animals and makes your animals feel comfortable. As long as I live in NC I will NOT go to another vet. read more
