He takes time to listen and to explain to the customer/patient what the problem is and offers recommendations. He does NOT upsell or try to create additional charges and his fees/prices seem fair and reasonable. His staff is friendly and I especially like Alyssa. We went to several vets in the last six months because we are relatively new to the area. Most of the other veterinarians did not bother to talk to us directly or even on the phone to explain the problem. One other vet had an estimate for the biopsy and surgery prepared and handed to us by a staff member without any discussion or explanation - and the estimate for both combined procedures was several hundreds of dollars HIGHER than at Dr. Rubio's Pet Hospital. Since we have five adopted/rescued little shelter dogs, money is an issue, too. We are happy we have found Dr. Rubio and he will be the regular veterinarian!

We were brought back to our room very quickly. Chelsea took care of us in preparation for the vet and she was a delight. She was so gentle with our puppy and made him feel safe. Chelsea took his weight first. Next we did the shots, our little boy was very scared but Chelsea held him securely. The vet was also very nice and listened to my concerns. She even took time to help me trim his nails. They gave him treats when he was finished and he loved it. When we were checking out the lady at the front desk coordinated with our rescue and squared away the payment. They gave us clear instructions for his medicine and worm prevention. We also got a bag with goodies for our Astro. It was a great experience and we are grateful for our new lifetime vet for Astro.

My dog underwent soft palate surgery, nares surgery, and a neuter procedure at VSC to help improve…read morehis breathing. Following the surgery, he experienced significant complications, including repeated vomiting and respiratory concerns. During this time, we contacted the office multiple times seeking guidance as his condition changed and worsened. One of my biggest frustrations was communication. When we called with concerns, we were generally routed through front desk staff and were told messages would be passed along to the doctor. As a pet owner dealing with a serious post-surgical situation, I often felt uncertain whether the full details of my dog's condition were being communicated and whether my concerns were receiving the level of attention I expected. My dog was later diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia and ultimately required emergency treatment at VEG Viera. The care he received there was a critical part of his recovery, and I am extremely grateful to their team for the attention and treatment they provided during a very stressful and frightening time. I was also disappointed by the costs associated with my dog's care. At one point, I was advised that follow-up X-rays would cost $400. Given the significant expenses we had already incurred and the ongoing complications my dog was experiencing, I found the additional costs felt more like a money grab. In total, we paid $6,746.35 for the surgery and follow-up care through VSC and an additional $10,543.17 for emergency treatment at VEG, bringing our total expenses to $17,289.52. While others may have had positive experiences, my experience left me disappointed with the post-operative communication, follow-up process, and overall care my dog received. As a result, I would not choose this provider again.

My dog was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma by my regular vet. He recommended Dr. Lawrence at…read moreVeterinary Specialty Clinic. We had an examination appointment with Veterinary Specialty Clinic to see what our options were. It was determined that the sarcoma mass needed to be removed. Was given estimates and although the estimate was higher than I'd hoped, it was not a shock as surgery is just costly. Prior to surgery, during surgery and aftercare was a very good experience. The entire staff was super helpful. Dr. Lawrence explained everything upfront and after. The only suggestion that I would have is that for the follow-up bandage change appointments that it would be included in the cost of surgery even if the original estimate was slightly higher. From my experience, I've always had everything rolled up into the estimate. It was not a huge deal, more of an inconvenience. Thanks to the Dr. Lawrence and the entire staff for taking such great care of my pet.

I'll start off by saying, kudos for being open on Christmas for emergencies like our car accident…read moresituation. But that's about all I'll say positive about our experience here. The front intake staff was good and friendly. The facility was clean and safe. If your pet has diarrhea or vomiting, this so called "hospital" can probably help you in an emergency with fluids and pills. It seems that's where their "hospital" supplies and support end. We sat in the front lobby for 3-1/2 hours because the "triage" nurse had our dog with a fully broken leg from a car accident listed as "stable and ok". We got pushed back for 2 other pets that came during that wait time. One did seem to be real emergency and needed help ASAP.Once we got in a room, the nurse spent a few minutes checking heart rate, eyes, tummy, then the leg. Also made us check weight a second time because someone forgot to write 34.7 kg down. No other body checks for a dog who was in a car accident. Doctor vet finally came in 30-45 minutes later and said "that's for sure broken, sorry I should have gotten to you sooner but he was listed as stable and ok on the chart". Even though he cried in pain for 3 hours in lobby. After spending a minute or maybe 90 seconds looking at him, she ordered "x-rays". Fully sedated our dog with anesthesia for an hour and only took ONE UNCLEAR XRAY! They took no blood or urine samples to check his body out. Dr came back in said "he needs a surgeon and we don't have one until next year". Then said with his arthritis, it would make surgery difficult. Handed us a list of other hospitals and specialists they knew of from Jupiter to Orlando to Gainesville to as to help us. Then gave us $667 bill for one xray, 2 prescriptions for pain, and splinter for the leg. No directions on how to help his leg stay stabilized except "put him in kennel". The next day after calling all their people on the list the next day, including the University of Florida we were told no one was staffed for a bone surgery for the holidays. Luckily I found a bone specialist down in Vero Beach who took us in Saturday. After reading the treatment summary and calling you guys, his staff and him could not believe that you guys only took ONE UNCLEAR XRAY of a small part of the leg. No blood or urine samples at all. With the specialist we got 7 xrays of the legs and 2 of the spine and chest without anesthesia! We were only there for 1-1/2 hours as well and they have a surgeon who can do surgery. On their xray array they also caught a prostate issue. That is how you give pets good care, is by actually checking them out fully. If you have something simple like dehydration or vomiting, these people can probably help. But if you want real useful healthcare with actual hospital style supplies and staff, I'd strongly suggest finding a more appropriate emergency hospital. After waiting so long and getting one xray and a splint then kicked down the road to a real vet hospital, I'd never return here again. I truly feel they owe me a full refund for at least the xrays, as they didn't even accomplish that simple task fully, and I had to pay to have them redone. PS The bone specialist said nothing about arthritis making this fix difficult.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Rockledge Specialty & Emergency Hospital and the care…read morethey have given our baby cat, Eddie!!! His journey has NOT been simple, and they have supported us medically and emotionally every step of the way. Eddie came in very sick, and instead of guessing or rushing, the team took a very thoughtful and thorough approach. He had so many things done, including staying overnight multiple times, an echocardiogram, ultrasounds, blood work, PCV checks, and multiple rounds of testing to try to understand what was happening. It was all soooo confusing as to what was wrong with him, but the team never gave up. They carefully ruled things out, explained results clearly, and never made us feel rushed or like our questions were a burden. Eventually, the doctors shared that Eddie might be facing FIP or lymphoma which was so scary to hear - but they walked us through what that meant, what treatment options existed, and what to expect. They were honest, compassionate, and hopeful in all the right ways. We had the FIP medication overnighted and started it immediately, and have seen amazing results! This would not have been possible without Dr. Smith's intellect and dedication. Along the way, the staff constantly reminded us how much they loved Eddie and how sweet he is, which meant so much especially on the hard days. He has always been treated like a loved patient, not just "another cat." We were especially touched when Dr. Smith came in during his Thanksgiving break to care for Eddie when he needed treatment. That kind of commitment is rare, and we will never forget it!! Today, Eddie is gaining weight, healing, and slowly getting stronger, and we truly believe we wouldn't be here without the careful, dedicated care from this hospital. We are deeply grateful for the doctors, technicians, and staff at this hospital. If you are looking for a veterinary team that combines outstanding medical knowledge with genuine compassion and heart, this is the place to go!!! Thank you to everyone who works there! Love EDDIE, Mom Frankie, & Dad Joe

Sunshine Animal Hospital has been my Vet for only a short time. I have taken my pets there for…read morevarious things in that short time. Recently my new kitten, that they had never even seen as a patient yet, was seriously injured in a freak and very tragic accident. I rushed him in, knowing that they aren't even an emergency Vet. They immediately took him back. They tried everything. Including, but not limited to, intubating him. Sadly, by the time we got him to them he was too far gone and despite their heroic efforts his little heart just couldn't handle the trauma and he passed on. I can't say enough good things about how they handled it though. I know they went above and beyond for him even though they're likely not equipped for most emergencies. I suspect most primary Vets aren't. I am very grateful for their efforts and intend to remain a loyal client for the rest of my life. I can't imagine that most non-emergency vets would do something like that. They will. Highly recommend.
