My 9 year old Staffy had had a heart murmur since birth. Never had an issue with it until recently. She has been having labored shallow breaths for a couple of days. She couldnt get comfortable lying down. Classic signs of congestive heart failure. My normal vet did not have any openings for a week. I found this place during a google search. They got her in right away. They provided me a number of option and reccommendations. I decided to pay for the expensive stuff EKG, Ultrasound etc. They found exactly what I thought and immediatly gave her a lasix treatment to reduce the fluid retention. within hours she was breathing 100% better. The test showed Enlarged Heart, Glitchy Mitral valve and Congestive heart failure. The meds prescribed have worked great so far. She is on the schedule to see there cardiac specialist on 8/10. Yes it wasn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. This place is open 24/7. Of course the overhead is high. They have all the specialist and equipment you could ask for. I did have to wait longer than initially told. However, they are an emergency clinic! They prioritise the most sick or injured. Which I appreciate. If my waiting two hours longer than expected allows someone else's babies to survive than so be it. read more

The level of incompetence at this place is unmatched. From the vets (they don't finish their notes on the day of the appointment so you have to wait to get your pets records, the ER vet we saw forgot something and had to ask his assistant to go fix something for another pet while he was in the room with us and then we asked for fluids to administered to our cat along with a medicine and he said he was going to go do it and it would be 5 min and 40 min later the vet tech said he was 'really busy' and couldn't do it before our cat wasn't sedated anymore and so they just didn't do it). The vet tech told us completely inaccurate information twice including that we didn't owe an additional invoice while he handed us $150 medication that sells on Chewy for half that, and telling us the incorrect way to administer the medicine per the label on it. And then the admin staff... over several speciality visits they told me they were going to send records and they just don't. Twice now I've had to call and make a scene after two and half days go by to get my cat's medical records. They also lie about what's going on in the back. When we asked for our cat they said they were putting him in his carrier and then 10 minutes later we asked again and they said the same thing. They just say whatever to not deal with people. The wait times are also horrendous. I've never spent less than three hours here. Then the finance billing person told me she wouldn't send my records until I paid my balance which is ILLEGAL. I told her that, she said it again, I told her it was illegal again and then she finally sent them, but had to be threatened with legal action. The worst part though? We learned nothing about what is going on with our seriously ill cat after a neurology visit, and multiple ER visits. They just referred me to another specialist within their practice. This place is a SCAM and my cat was worse off than before he went in there. Go to AESC! read more

I don't understand how such a terrible place could have four stars on Google. After visiting this hospital, I saw many people had left negative reviews. Clearly, if you don't look carefully, those bad reviews are easily buried. The nurses were incredibly rude. I asked them to return my dog to me, but they kept lying, telling me to wait ten minutes, five minutes, then two minutes. It was ridiculous. They deceived me and made me wait in the room for over an hour, yet they still refused to return my dog. Finally, I told them that if they didn't give my dog back, I would call the police immediately. Only then did they return my dog to me. What's absurd is that when they handed my dog back, they cursed and said my dog would definitely die. The nurse thought I couldn't understand English and was shockingly brazen. I guess they were angry because they didn't make enough money off of me. When I told them I wouldn't pay their exorbitant fees, they immediately suggested euthanizing my dog. It was unbelievably cruel. In the end, I went to another hospital where my dog received excellent care. read more

I cannot thank you all enough for being so kind, patient and understanding in one of the hardest times of life and losing my angel baby. You all were so patient and understanding on the phone and upon arrival you had a perfect sense of urgency while meeting my grief with kindness and consideration.

While we are so sad and mourning the loss of our fur baby, you met us with such compassion that I can't express my gratitude. Thank you so much. read more

My review isn't based off an emergency situation, so it's a tad different. However, the practice is clean and I was met with nothing but nice people. They honestly seemed a little over staffed because I was asked by six different people if I needed anything and why I was there. Any specialist is going to be expensive, but I don't think their prices are higher than any other facility of their caliber. The have an amazing blood bank that my dog donates to, so anything that gives back and gives dogs a chance to survive is a win for me. read more

One of our dogs became critically ill and we took him to VCSG on Broad Street. They identified the cause of his symptoms quickly and intervened with lifesaving surgery. They also followed up with expert advice we needed for his continued health care. We are extremely grateful for the knowledge, skill, and compassion we received from Dr. Natasha Jones, Dr. Jeff Peck, Dr. Jake Barnett, and their wonderful team! Jayne Huff for Reagan read more

Dr Zuvers and the technician were both so nice and skilled at their work! We were blessed to find them.

In and out within an hour, and the price was very reasonable for emergency pet care. I highly recommend them! read more

Veterinary Care and Specialty Group - Our dachshund Bunny. - Emergency Pet Hospital Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

PET OWNER BEWARE, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PLACE‼ This place is dishonest, disrespectful & a disgrace to Veterinary Care / Medicine. The practice leadership has taken zero accountability and ownership for their failed handling of our Neurology appointment with Dr. Christiane Massicotte a few weeks ago. She lied to us on multiple occasions during our visit and then deceptively tried to begin services on a procedure and further testing on our dog. All of this while having another staff member explain a misleading initial estimate for ~$5,000 (for services that couldn't even be completed the same day due to food, water & medications in our dog's system). We were left in a patient room for an additional 35-40 minutes after we refused to pay thousands of dollars to start a treatment plan for our dog and finally left asking the receptionists to email the revised estimates once they had time. Since then, I've called multiple times to speak with the leadership team, but have been left with no final resolution due to failed communication & more excuses from their botched leadership. All of this while clearly admitting that their staff lied to us throughout the consultation & stating that's not how we go about our business (or some similar PC Corporate HR response). Fortunately they have audio and video of how atrocious our consultation was, so they know the truth. TAKE YOUR PET ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE‼ read more

A really comforting vet, this emergency vet was recommended to us due to them having a surgeon on the weekends. Unfortunately we found a splenic mass in my 9 year old dog at 5:00pm on a friday, our only option was to go to an emergency vet. Obviously all emergency services are more expensive, but for most of us our babies are worth every dollar. My vet sent a referral over and we went straight there, we were met with very kind staff who knew his name right when we walked in the door. They told us what to expect and took us straight to a room. A doctor was in the room almost immediately this is all at around 7:30pm. They were immensely kind to me and my dog. They sat with me and discussed the many options we had for caring for my dog, Surgery is our only option, instead of insisting we get surgery right then and there for their prices, they recommended another vet with less expensive surgery plans. Dr. Koss instilled a reasonable amount of hope in me, talked me through many options and were incredibly accommodating. I am someone with 100,000 questions and she answered all of them with a great attitude. Her vet techs were also extremely knowledgeable and helpful with great attitudes as well. I called to check on him and they assured me they were sitting with him in his "kennel" for as long as possible as often as possible. They even allowed me to come pick him up the moment his transfusion was over (including a few hours of monitoring) to save on hospital fees. As well as offer a refund for any services not used. Overall- I feel that this staff is incredibly knowledgeable, very open and helpful, not greedy, very kind and understanding, and I most of all appreciate that they chose to instill hope instead of fear in order to make money for their practice. I would recommend anyone to come here and especially Dr. Koss and her crew. read more

I took my cat here with an emergency late at night. I can't express how much Dr. Jones and her staff and techs took great care of us. Everyone was professional and kind and supportive and willing to answer any of my hysterical questions promptly and candidly. They took great care of not only my 16 year old cat but also me. I appreciate the guidance they offered while I was there and when I called back with questions. Not an experience I can say I'll look back fondly on (just by nature) but one I will absolutely remember. Thank you Thank you THANK YOU read more

We have used the facility and the cancer center for our pet Trinket. We were met with professional, friendly and empathetic staff. The facility is spotless and many human doctor's offices don't provide this kind of TLC for humans. There are clean restrooms, a guest drink bar for coffee and other drinks. The specialists are top notch. Yes, you will pay a little more for this care but you are getting the expertise of like UTK here locally. We are grateful to everyone there for treating us and our beloved pet with such care and love. We would not go anywhere else for serious care. read more

greed has taken over at vcsg. i have spent over $19,000 there in the last 10 months for surgery, blood transfusions, oncology and chemo, etc for my cat. when an issue popped up and chemo was put off until the issue was resolved, i returned to the office to ask dr marlowe to call me to inform me if and when chemo should be started again, i was told there would be a $$$ fee for the doctor to call me and answer my question with a yes or no. how rude. dr pullan and his service have lost touch with reality. it's all about the money with them now. $19,000 and you can't tell me if i need to bring him back or not without charging me? ridiculous. it says a lot about this place. read more

I wish I could give them negative stars. This is by FAR the worst business establishment I have been to. To keep it brief, they gave me dog a sedative without any consent or awareness from me which resulted in his death. The veterinarian disappeared after my dog died. I never got any diagnosis or choice in the matter and they never asked for his medical history. I was left dumbfounded in the lobby. I never signed anything but they still tried to bill me for over $700. For 5 months I have been trying to get on the phone with management, and only recently could when I mentioned a lawsuit. They still are saying I owe this money. STAY AWAY. read more

We had to visit this clinic when we came home and saw my dog acting strange. We called before we went and they said to bring her. When we got there we were greeted quickly and taken to a room. We waited a bit because another dog was "crashing" and our dog wasn't bleeding or dying so I totally understood. It didn't take long for the doc to come in and examine my girl. She was kind and explained everything she was doing and let us ask questions. Upon examining her spine she realized Chewbacca had a back injury. She told us about how it's common and what meds she'd give her and why. I left feeling MUCH better than when I arrived! The environment was clean and the staff was friendly. It didn't cost as much as I thought it would, which was really awesome! I'd recommend this vet to anyone experiencing a crisis with their beloved pet. read more

I'd give this place 10 stars if I could! This place is a GOD SEND! So very thankful this emergency veterinary hospital exists. I brought my cat here after he had a heart attack..and after he sat in a cage for nearly 8 hours at Kirk's Veterinary office in Jasper with no pain killers. Although we had to put the kitty to sleep, it was a relief he was in good hands at this place. I also brought my chihuahua here in the middle of the night just after midnight. He got into some marijuana earlier that day and was shaking with glazed eyes. I was so scared when I brought him in, and the nurse was so knowledgeable of the signs, she solved the issue right away and they put him on fluids. I love this place and the professionals who work here! I'm so thankful for their expertise and professionalism. Thank you VCSG! read more

Long wait, rude, disrespectful, inconsiderate and complete lack of empathy. Lady taking my payment was very rude. I came out of the room after I gave her my credit card to pay my bill she states I need to wait in my room I told her I'm ready to go she snaps off, so am I ! Then they call me back to schedule a consultation with a surgeon. I explained that I will be consulting with another surgeon who has done my mothers dog . She states I will note this in your chart "click" she hung up the phone . read more

They charged 6,000 dollars then wanted more money and got angry when we didn't give it to them and once we did they were nice and it was devastating. read more

Our beloved senior kitty got very very ill about a month ago and we had to bring her in to the emergency clinic on a weekend evening. We were blown away at the wonderful staff and care we received. The entire team is extremely accomplished, professional as well as compassionate and attentive. They have a beautiful facility with state of the art equipment and testing facilities. There is a doctor there 24 hours a day as well as a very skilled set of veterinary technicians, all are patient, thoughtful and kind. We've been in and out of the clinic or on the phone with them asking questions on an almost daily basis the last three weeks for testing, medicine pickup, supply replenishment etc and they have been so generous with their time. Our cat stayed overnight several times in the beginning of her care as well as after surgery and we were able to go visit her as often as we wanted (we once went four times in one day and once at midnight when we couldn't sleep from worry). We were always welcomed in graciously (even if we'd just been there just 30 minutes earlier lol) and it was such a relief and peace of mind to know she was right around the corner. (we live nearby) They've taken great care of her and as a result she's doing better and better every day. We will be continuing her care there even when we no longer need their emergency services. We really lucked out having them in our neighborhood. read more

We experienced great care and kindness with our cat emergency. I called ahead and they took a ton of information over the phone to save time when we got there. The place was empty, so that helped us get needed attention the second we walked in the door. Yes, emergency vets and care are expensive. Yes, they ask for a card up front. These are all commonplace at emergency vets as we have been through this before. We knew that our cat was dying and we were met with kind, soft spoken, caring people here. At a very sad and difficult time, their kindness and empathy was beyond measure. read more

It felt like our dog got great care here, but as many other reviews state, you should definitely check your bill. One person suggested an X-ray, then the vet said it wasn't needed, so we didn't approve the X-ray and the X-ray never happened. Then the X-ray charge of $300 showed up on the bill in addition to 2 cones of shame. The dog was clearly only wearing one cone, but they slipped another one on the tab for $20. I told them the charges were incorrect and they ran my card for the incorrect amount anyway. Right after charging me, they admitted the charges were wrong and then they took a week and a half to issue the refund. Seems a bit shady to have sooo many mistakes and billing issues. read more

I would not recommend this place to ANYONE. My cat was super sick and I took him in to get looked at. I understand that ER visits are more pricy, but they were potentially charging me about $1,300 to babysit my cat and do an x-ray. They told me after I declined care that my cat most likely was going to be very sick and could potentially pass away. They told me he was in critical condition and should be in on oxygen for a minimum of 12 hours. I decided to go home with my cat and hope to nurse him back to health myself. After 1 day (not even 12 hours) my cat was fine. He had a little issue with his breathing, but overall he was back to his normal self. I decided, later, to take him to the vet to have a second opinion and check to make sure he was alright. My cat has a upper respiratory infection. The ER diagnosed him with potentially aspirated pneumonia with no testing or symptoms, other than wheezing. The vet gave him a steroid shot and did the testing for HALF OF THE PRICE. They also informed me that based on simply listening to my cats lungs it was clear it was not pneumonia. They also were confused as to why a ER would not have given my cat a steroid shot in the first place if any problematic respiratory symptoms were suspected. Ultimately, do not take your pet here. This ER will scam you out of your money and tell you your animal is in "critical" care and up charge you for nothing. I have never been so appalled by a service. The customer service there is also TERRIBLE. I only saw the actual doctor twice. Once when she told me my cat was potentially dying and the second to change my mind about refusing treatment. My nurse consistently made faces at me. Every time I refused something or mentioned a concern she was super passive aggressive. She made me feel SUPER uncomfortable about my financial and medical decisions about my cat. I mainly did not feel comfortable paying that amount without even seeing my cat for my own eyes. I told her I would feel more comfortable if I saw my cat in "critical" condition before deciding to leave him there for 12 hours and spend $1300, and the refused me to do so. They also hardly came in to check on us or give us updates about my cat. They told me his oxygen was depleting and he was not doing well and then the only other times I saw them was when they came in to pressure me about spending a ton of money with little to no insight about my cats actual condition or state. After making the ultimate decision to take him home I informed the nurse we would be leaving and she made the doctor come in to change my mind. At the point I was so angry. I could not see my cat and they would not give him back to me. I told her I would not be staying, and neither would my cat and after an extra hour of waiting he was finally brought to me to take home. To all the people who have enjoyed their services. I am so glad for you. I would not recommend this place to any other person looking for an ER. read more

ZERO COMPASSION! ALL ABOUT THE MONEY Referred by my regular Vet and what a disappointment. After being there for 4 hours. I was basically shamed by DR. Massicotte because I couldn't afford the MRI that was over $4000 and no promise of being able to even help my beloved dog. I will say I knew it was a long shot to save her but I would have done what I could as she was my family! The worst service ever as well.

So my puppy got sick last night. He got into some sugar and nearly killed him. I took him to Veterinary Care and Specialty Group on Tennessee ave chattanooga. They took care of him however not until i was told i had to pay $945 that night or he will go home and die. I asked to bring the money when i came to pick him up the next day. They said No must be paid tonight.I managed to piece the money together. I then go to pick him up today i am told we overpaid and though owe us $125 we will proccess the refund on Monday and you should have it by Wednesday. I am the only one who sees this as wrong. In the first what kind of animal loving vet would send an animal home to die before waiting 18 hours to receive there overpriced money. read more

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful people that work here! From the front desk staff, to the nurses and doctors, everyone here is so friendly, professional, and truly loves your pet! My dog had to be hospitalized (twice in a week) and we honestly thought he wasn't going to get better. Yes, ER vets are very expensive, but they made sure I was aware of everything they would do (and MIGHT have to do) so I wasn't caught off guard. But, given my dogs' physical state, he needed to be cared for 24/7. Although the vets couldn't exactly figure out what made my dog so sick, they did everything possible to get to the bottom of it. I am so thankful for ALL of them and the care they gave my dog and my family. I received daily updates and they encouraged me to call and check on my dog if I ever wanted/need to. Also, shoutout to Katie for being so wonderful and calling me to check on Copper after he had been home for over a week! THANK YOU Dr. Groman, Dr. Rizzo, and Dr. Pullen for helping my boy get better! read more

I live in Florida and my ex had my dog in Northern Alabama. My dog was old and very ill and needed to be humanly euthanized. I contacted VCSG all the way from Florida and they were so compassionate and caring.

I appreciate this veterinary clinic and its staff. We were traveling and had an emergency with our dog. He could not walk and had back pain. They were so helpful, not only for the dog, but for me as well. I was afraid that something bad had happened to him. They spend as much time as they need to find out what's best for the dog, not their business. Right now Mitch has no problems with his medications and I'm looking forward to his surgery at home in Switzerland.   Thank you for your support and care for my dog. read more

So I am kind of up set with the ER Vet Veterinary Care and Specialty Group that I went to because everytime I told them that I didnt have the money to treat her and leave her there they told me to have her put to sleep. They kept making it sound worse than it was. When I went to pick her up the vet told me she was in bad shape amd wasn't going to make it and she needed to either stay there or be put down because she was in excruciating pain. He wanted me to promise that if she wasnt better by that night that I would have her put down, after telling me she had eaten that morning and went to the bathroom. I brought her home and 2 hours later she was begging for food by the time I got home from work she was running around the yard and this morning she was back to 100%. They managed to get quite a bit of money out of me before I brought her home. I just wonder how many animals go in there that get put to sleep that dont need to be. read more

My 10 pound toy poodle was bit by a copperhead 7/5/2020. I immediately took him to VCSG, as they had seen him twice in the past for specialty services. They immediately took him back and started treatment with anti venom. I was informed that he would have to stay overnight for observation. I paid my $1307.00 required for treatment. I call to check on him several hours later. All was going well I was told. The next morning I waited for a call on his condition. Nothing! So I called once again. They were vague, at best, about his condition. Finally at 5:30pm. I went to pick him. A tech checked me out. Never spoke to the doctor, as no one reached out to me at all. Bad business practices. Will not use them ever again. read more

TAKING OUR DYING DOG OUT OF THIS PLACE LITERALLY SAVED HIS LIFE. PLEASE READ. The staff were friendly, but I didn't carry my dog to the emergency vet for friendly staff. When you evaluate a place like this, it should be based on the care and success of their veterinarians. I brought my lab in on 1/11/2021 after he had been acting lethargic and threw up some rocks. The vet took radiographs that showed one rock. They believed it could pass. We took him home. The very next night, he buckles, and he is in pain and the only movement he made was shaking with every breath. We take him back to the facility immediately at 8:00 PM on 1/12/2021. He is running a 105 temperature. They put him on some fluids and run bloodwork/take more radiographs (ONLY after we pay $500 down). They do ALL of this by 10:30 PM, and his bloodwork is normal, the radiograph now showed 3 smaller rocks (should be passable). They ask for another $1500 payment to cover anything they think they may need to do, and they let us know they'll call us back in the morning before shift change, and if we hear nothing, it is a good sign. We receive a call the next morning around 7:00 AM. They do not really have any new information to give us aside from his temperature being closer to normal, but it is still a little high. We wait to hear anything else as our bill grows, and trust me, they communicate the bill, because they will not perform anything prior to ensuring payment. We hear nothing about what's wrong with our puppy, but we hear detailed breakdowns of cost and are asked what we can afford or are looking to pay. I do not care. I want my dog to live. 10:00 AM calls, and we still haven't heard anything. The vet has ONLY given him fluids, run bloodwork, and checked him hourly like they're required. 12:00 PM rolls around, and we still KNOW NOTHING. We finally call our vet. In a 5 minute phone call, he told us what needed to be done and gave us what could possibly be wrong, but he doesn't provide overnight care, so we are scared to remove our pup from emergency overnight care. I call VCSG, and I speak with the day time vet, and I tell her we were thinking of moving him to our personal vet, but I was worried about his temperature climbing overnight, and our vet didn't have overnight care. WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF THAT CALL, THEY HAD CALLED US BACK TELLING US HIS TEMPERATURE WAS BACK AT 105 AND HAD BEEN SINCE 8:00 AM, AND HE NEEDED SURGERY. They hadn't even performed an ultrasound or put him on antibiotics. They literally let him sit there on fluids, taking bloodwork multiple times, and performed SIX radiographs. They did nothing of value. I questioned them. The day time vet said that the overnight vet was unable to perform ultrasounds, so he couldn't do it. Yet, it was almost 7 hours into the day time shift, and they hadn't performed one? My dog sat in their care for nearly 16 hours before antibiotics. OUR PERSONAL VET WAS FRUSTRATED AT THIS SITUATION. Although he closed at 3:00 PM, he told us to go get Nash and bring him in. He performed surgery at 5:00 PM. He found a fist sized abscess in the pup's stomach and a bad infection. Removing our dog from VCSG care saved his life. I spoke with the "financial manager", and I spoke with the "vet care manager". ZERO REMORSE. You'd be well-informed to know that they said, "We see nothing wrong with the way he was cared for. They followed the correct procedures." Yet they let our dog sit there for 18 hours, and had we not acted, he could have sat until he died. So be advised, if you want your pet cared for as seen above, take him to VCSG. read more
