So, at 16 we had to make the hard choice to give our pup the best possible send-off as he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. When we came for care we knew we would probably be making that decision in the near future, but didn't realize it would be so soon. The staff and doctors at Westchase were awesome. Dr. Espinoza spent quality time with us and discussed options for care at Angus' stage of life. She gave us sound options and advice. When we eventually had to make our decision, everyone was so kind to us. This is not the first time we have had to send off a loved pet, but it was probably one of the best experiences we have had with the process. I can't begin to express how grateful we were for the compassion we were shown during our time of grief. We would definitely recommend Westchase Veterinary.

If I could give this place ZERO stars, I would. My experience felt like a complete bait-and-switch…read more They use the word "emergency" while recommending one expensive test after another. When I repeatedly questioned whether all the proposed lab work was truly necessary, the veterinarian finally admitted that several tests were not necessary at that point and could wait. If I had not challenged the recommendations, would I have been charged for lab work my pet did not immediately need? I then asked to speak with the owner, who is also a veterinarian. Instead of addressing my concerns, she told me that the clinic has to make money to pay its overhead. I was stunned. I asked her directly whether that meant they take advantage of trusting customers who bring in their beloved family pets by recommending services that are not immediately necessary. She had no response. I also heard that the practice is moving into a larger facility. After being told that customers' money is needed to cover the clinic's overhead, I cannot help but question whether aggressive testing and excessive charges are helping finance that expansion!!!!! That is my personal concern based on what I experienced and what the owner said directly to me!! Veterinary recommendations should be based on what an animal medically needs--not on a clinic's overhead or expansion plans. Pet owners are frightened and vulnerable during an emergency, and they deserve honesty, transparency, and informed consent. I left feeling misled, taken advantage of, and unable to trust their recommendations. I will never return. Demand an itemized estimate, ask whether every test is immediately necessary, and consider getting a second opinion. Based on my experience, go here at your own financial risk!!!

I had been there twice before with Molly and Dr. Reitz was fabulous with her, allowing me to make decisions how to proceed and did not try to talk me into having extensive testing done (Molly was between 17 and 19 years old). I would highly recommend them for your furry family members.

I have wanted to write this for a long time, but it has been very difficult. My little Benji…read morestarted limping on 10/26/2024, and his condition worsened by 10/31. I called Gregory Veterinary and made the first available appointment with Dr. Dworkin on 11/4. Benji was 12, but you never would have known it by the way he played and carried on. At that first visit, Dr. Dworkin took 3 x-rays and told me it was likely arthritis. Benji was prescribed Carprofen, but it did nothing to help. When he continued to get worse, I brought him back on 11/19. At that visit, 6 more x-rays were taken. I explained that the Carprofen was not helping, but I was again told it was arthritis and to continue the medication. When I asked if there was anything else I could give him, Dr. Dworkin suggested Tramadol and Gabapentin. I specifically explained that Benji had an adverse reaction to Gabapentin and could not take it, yet I was still given a prescription for it and had to return it. I also followed the recommendation to try laser treatment, but Benji still did not improve. Dr. Dworkin also informed me that Tramadol was the only pain medication she could prescribe. I later learned that laser therapy may be inappropriate in cases where cancer has not been ruled out, which made that recommendation especially upsetting in hindsight. Later, I received a call from one of the receptionists saying that Dr. Dworkin felt the only thing left to do was to get an MRI and see a neurologist. By 11/26, I knew Benji was getting worse and seemed to be in a great deal of pain. I brought him to Tampa Bay Emergency Vet, where Dr. Valerie Prise took more x-rays and gave us the devastating diagnosis: Benji had osteosarcoma and a tumor on his lung. I was told palliative care was the only option. She prescribed codeine and amantadine for his pain and also gave me information for Lap of Love. Benji went over the Rainbow Bridge on 11/28, almost exactly one month after he first started limping. I am heartbroken that my baby suffered far more than he ever should have. In my opinion, my concerns were not taken seriously enough, his worsening condition was not properly recognized, and his pain was not adequately managed. I am sharing this because I do not want another family and their beloved pet to go through what Benji did.

Not hearing back with a phone call or email 3 business days from that Friday is pretty petty. Sometimes it takes months Especially if they are short staffed. I am sure you won't be getting the job At this point. Something tells me that's probably an issue for you in general. You have definitely burned a bridge. You should have sent a thank you note after the interview and followed up a week after they said they would contact you If they didn't to let them know you are still interested That is how the real world works.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST VET EVER!!…read more Seriously though, they are absolutely amazing, and I don't know what I'd do without them. I originally contacted them during COVID when I got a new puppy and didn't want to hand her off to a stranger at my old vet's office... I really wanted to be face to face with the vet. My plan was to use them for a little while until my old vet opened back up, but once I realized how awesome they were, I won't be going anywhere else! I was a little worried before the first appointment about the house call fees, but it isn't expensive at all and totally worth it! I also was concerned on whether they would be able to handle everything my dogs may need, such as surgery and teeth cleaning. But they do it all... and they do it well. I had my puppy spayed in my driveway and my other dog's teeth pulled in my driveway! I trust them wholeheartedly and have never felt that with any other vet I've ever been to. If you get the chance to be one of their patients, take it! You won't regret it, I promise. Thank you, Dr. Magee & Jacqui!

Happy Pets is, at best, a happy façade…read more It has taken me a couple of years to work up to writing this review. For starters, I didn't want to re-face what had happened. Additionally, I saw all the dozens of five-star reviews and thought that my situation couldn't possibly be representative of Dr. Rachel's care, and that perhaps my situation was due to freak accidents. I no longer feel what happened to my girls was random. My mom and I started using HP for our cat, Belle. She was an older cat that we wanted checkups for. Over time, HP determined that Belle had a thyroid issue. We brought her in for blood work and checkups every six months to monitor the situation. At every appointment, it was determined that Belle was in generally good health and just needed some meds here and there for various minor reasons. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the quality of care provided by HP. A few weeks prior to the incident, Belle had just completed another checkup with bloodwork and was given a clean bill of health from Dr. Rachel. A few weeks later, Belle was not doing well at all. She was in poor condition, which had deteriorated overnight. We contacted HP and were met with cold indifference that they could not see Belle that day. They said that we always needed an emergency vet as a backup. We scrambled to find another vet that would see her the same day. Once we brought her in to the new vet, it was immediately determined that Belle had late-stage lung cancer that was untreatable and inoperable. One lung had started filling with fluids and she was put down the same day. Additionally, there was no mention of poor condition of the thyroid by this vet. This new vet was shocked to learn that Belle was previously getting regular checkups with blood work. We provided the reports from HP to this new vet, and she couldn't believe that another vet could've overlooked Belle's condition. While Belle was receiving her checkups (prior to the situation above), we were also bringing our other cat, Shadow, to see Dr. Rachel. At one appointment, Shadow needed her teeth cleaned. During this cleaning, Dr. Rachel claimed that equipment had slipped during the cleaning causing a gash in Shadow's paw. Dr. Rachel was very attentive to this matter and bandaged her up. She even returned to rebandage. Though this has never happened at any other vet I've been to, I gave HP the benefit of the doubt because I trusted them even though I felt the gash was extremely unnecessary considering it was a routine cleaning on an unconscious cat. Fast forward to the situation with Belle needing to be put down, we decided to take Shadow to another vet. Upon first evaluation, the new vet determined that Shadow needed her teeth cleaned. We thought this was odd considering she just had them cleaned at HP. After the cleaning, the vet was appalled at Shadow's dental state and couldn't believe another doctor saw the situation and didn't act on it. Shadow had severe condyle resorption and needed dental work beyond what a vet could provide. We eventually had to find a pet dental specialist and have Shadow undergo surgery to remove most of her teeth. The new vet and pet dental specialist both said this type of deterioration occurred over many years and didn't happen overnight. I understand that anything medical could happen to anyone at any time, especially with pets. However, after two animals went through what they did with HP, I am no longer convinced that it was random. I believe that Dr. Rachel acted negligently toward Belle and Shadow and didn't provide the proper care that they needed and deserved. Belle and Shadow were both indoor pets, who were loved and cared for extensively, and received regular checkups and care. THEIR OUTCOMES ARE UNCALLED FOR. Especially after years of care with HP. Dr. Rachel and her staff are (generally) friendly, *appear* attentive, run clean operations, and *seem* to care about the animals. However, the poor quality of care we received can be summed up in one word: negligent. For this reason, I do not recommend anyone getting care from them. I will also recommend anyone already with HP to receive second opinions. I appreciate everyone who took the time to read this lengthy review. Our pet's time on Earth is too short to waste on people pretending to provide good care, no matter how sincerely they fake it. Also, for those wondering, Shadow is thriving now that she's had the proper surgery and care she needed. No thanks to Dr. Rachel.

They flat out refused unless I brought her in for an annual exam. I explained I am traveling and cannot do that right now, but instead of prioritizing my dog's health, they chose to withhold food that keeps her from getting sick. Yes, I canceled a couple of appointments in the past because I was out of town or busy with work --but that does not give them the right to "ground" my dog or punish her by refusing to refill food that has zero risk if continued. This is not medication; it is food, and denying it only puts her well-being in danger. This policy is unreasonable, it's punitive, and it clearly shows where their priorities are. I will never recommend this clinic to anyone who truly cares about their pet's health. P.S the receptionist who talked to me on the phone said that she had a conversation with me and told me we will not be able to refill the food until I book an appointment and this is an absolute LIE I never had this conversation with her and I was never told while I'm picking up her food 3 weeks ago that I need to book an appointment or they will not re fill. It's all about money and lies too. This is ridiculous.
