We are so incredibly grateful to Dr. Beaumont and her wonderful staff! Our 13 1/2-year-old diabetic dog, Gracie, developed cataracts and became completely blind. Dr. Beaumont explained all of our options and everything that needed to be done to make sure Gracie was a good candidate for cataract surgery. I was definitely a nervous mom on surgery day, especially because of Gracie's diabetes, but she sailed through the surgery beautifully. And the most amazing part--right after surgery, Gracie could see again! Before surgery, she was afraid to walk around the house, couldn't manage our stairs without help, and had stopped enjoying her walks. She just wasn't adjusting well to being blind. After surgery, the difference was incredible. She was going up and down the stairs again, happily going on walks, and just seemed like herself again. We got our happy Gracie back! It has been about six weeks now, and she is doing fantastic. Cataract surgery is an investment, but for us it was worth every penny. It gave Gracie back her eyesight, her independence, and most importantly, her quality of life. We are so thankful to Dr. Beaumont and her entire team for taking such wonderful care of our girl. Having this surgery was one of the best decisions we could have made for Gracie, and we couldn't be happier! read more

The doctor is very knowledgeable and kind. The office is clean and cute. I didn't have to wait very long.

I don't normally take the time to write a review, but due to the huge variance in costs between this clinic and my own, I thought it was worth it to share my experience. We have three big dogs, and two cats. Our Maine Coon cat had an ulcer on her left eye, which was resolved by our local vet, but it continued to be inflamed, so we were referred to the Animal Eye Specialists. The first visit costs $437, which included a $220 "examination" fee, plus other fees for some meds. They asked us to come back in two weeks for a recheck, where we were charged another $206, including $150 for the "examination", which was less than 10 minutes. In contrast, my local vet only charges $68 for an "examination", spends a lot more time with the pet, and doesn't charge a re-examination fee for a follow-up. Here on this blog, I read about others who had been nickle and dimed by Animal Eye Specialists, so when I got the surgery estimate from them for a minor surgery (Entropion, which is the rolling up of the eyelid causing irritation), which was $2,100, and I read all the things I would be charged for, I decided to do a little more research. Turns out my local vet is very capable to perform this surgery and has done so many times before successfully. Her estimate, including a spay, is $728, a third of the cost of Animal Eye Specialists. More specifically, Animal Eye Specialist charge $675 for the surgery, $225 for anesthesia monitoring whereas my local vet only charges $200 and $70 respectively. And my local vet clinic has a very nice, new facility, with three highly qualified doctors working there. I don't have any complaints about Animal Eye Specialists facility or staff. Frankly, it is a beautiful office, resembling a nice home with a big living room with fireplace for the waiting area, and the staff was very friendly, with short wait times. And from what little time I had with the Doctor, she seemed knowledgeable and capable, and I have no doubt she has handled some very challenging ophthalmologist cases successfully. And granted, customers should expect to pay more for a specialist, who has gone through additional training and a residency for their specialized practice. But to charge three times more.... actually more than 3 time more, because my vet estimate includes the $110 spay, so my Maine Coon only has to wear the "cone of shame" and recover from surgery once. My dad and uncle were both Veterinarians, and my daughter is currently one. She had done this Entropion surgery many time successfully, and she is a general veterinarian. She has run into this challenge many times with patients: Either refer the patient to a specialist that costs three times more, or "trust" her to perform the surgery. Often times the customer doesn't have the money to pay a specialist, so they were have her perform the surgery. My advice is to do your own research, determine the level of difficulty and whether your local vet has the training and expertise, then decide if you are willing to pay the "premium" for a specialist. Finally, back to our dogs. Our 100 pound lab blew out his ACL (it has a different name in dogs, but to keep it simple, it is the ligaments in the knee of the hind leg). We were referred to a orthopedic specialist up on Texarkana (Dr. Old). It was an extensive surgery, that required a large titanium plate, and 9 screws. He charged a flat rate of $3500. It entailed an intense 8 week recovery (kenneled for 8 weeks, had to be taking out on a leash to go potty), and no playing, running, or jumping, including isolation from the other two dogs. He recovered fully, but Dr. Old did say that 10% of the time, the body would "reject" the metal in his leg, and that it might have to be removed. Lucky us, we were part of the 10% after 6 months. Apparently in some cases, it can occur 5 years later. Regardless, we had to go through a similar recovery for him, but he is now back to 100%, running and playing with the other dogs. In this case, it was worth it to pay a specialist, but one in a more remote area that doesn't charge exorbitant fees. The cost to remove the hardware was only $650. Hopefully this post helps some when faced with a challenge with our furry friends! read more

We are very thankful for Dr. Beaumont healing our dog's eye! Our dog had persistent eye irritation for several months- redness, discharge, cloudiness, and squinting. After 2 visits with our regular vet and 2 types of medications, no progress had been made and we decided it was time to visit an Opthalmologist. Dr. Beaumont and her team were very detailed upon examining his eye and suggested a reasonable treatment plan to get him back on track. Luckily, no surgery was required or recommended and our pup is back to being healthy and happy! Their office is new, nice, and comfortable. All of the staff we have interacted with have been extremely kind and helpful. We definitely recommend Animal Eye Specialists! read more

After a misdiagnosis from a pet hospital..I researched and found this awesome and brilliant compassionate eye specialist for my dear senior dog, who was miserable with a corneal ulcer. Dr. Stephanie knew immediately my fur baby had a severe eye issue and acted quickly to relieve her pain and schedule her surgery-which was a huge success. This office staff is personable, caring, professional, good listeners, and value each and every patient. I recommend her above any other eye vet out there... ONLY the best when it comes to your pet's vision. We got Dr. Stephanie and are so grateful! read more

Animal Eye Specialists - Miss Trixie post-op and already feeling better and seeing clearer!! - Veterinarians Near Me - Plano, Texas

Be warned... First red flag was when I called on a Monday and the said they had an opening on Wednesday that must have been a cancellation. The rest of the appointments were two weeks out. They didn't specify the date and I stupidly assumed Wednesday of that week because she didn't give us a date, and because she said it was a cancellation and acted so surprised it was available. So we show up, and they turn us away and say "Oh, no its next Wednesday". What they should have done, if they were professionals, is get my phone/email and send an appointment confirmation the same day the appointment is made. This is standard practice at most all doctor's offices, and is done in order to avoid situations like this. So appointment time comes. Full disclosure, our vet flagged him as a "biter" but included that he's never bitten anyone at our vet clinic. He's also never bitten anyone in our family or friends circle; but he can act aggressive, and gnash his teeth and growl, and needs a muzzle for more invasive work, or if you mess with his paws. We had our $180 ready that they tell you is due the day of the appointment. This is so they can perform the initial examination. We don't make much as a single/low income family, but we scrounged the $180 together for our boy as best we could. Took our dog in, and the nurse works with us to get a muzzle on. She tries to give him some eye drops, again with our help (I don't mind helping but I am paying this place $180, and they are a SPECIALIST, and need my help for the examination?) The nurse is unable to give him the eye drops, so she leaves to get the doctor so she can help. The doctor comes in, and without even so much as asking a question about the dogs health, or eyes, and without even attempting to work with her staff to examine the dog, says we need to pay $130, on top of the $180, to sedate him so they can complete the initial examination. The nickel and diming begins, I thought. Places like this are notorious for charging additional fees wherever they can - so this was not a good look for them, although I am sure their intentions were fine. That said, they should be able to handle dogs like ours without the need for sedation. Especially just for the EXAMINATION phase of treatment. He has 2 teeth (genetics caused all of his others to have to be pulled), and he's all bark, no bite. With a muzzle they should have been able to do what they needed, but they didn't even try. Please note that our dog has been seen by multiple vets and nurses at our veterinarian clinic, and never ONCE, during ANY examination -- and we're talking multiple bloodwork, shots, nail clippings, ear cleaning -- did they require us to sedate. Muzzle at most. Why now? For eye drops? And you didn't even try to work with him? Where's the professional dog handling skill at this place? So, be warned, they might identify your dog as "high energy" and force you to pay more for sedation so they can diagnose. We declined, because we can't afford to pay $310 that day. Maybe allow us to pay in installments or invoice us? For the dog's sake? I have amazing credit. Nope, not an option. Last red flag was on our way out. We get to the check out counter and they require $45 just for showing up. We didn't even get to talk to the doctor about our dog, nor did the doctor spend any time with our dog. They did no consultation, no examination, we were seen for maybe 20 minutes total. We paid $45 to help the nurse put a muzzle on our dog and help her try to give him eye drops. I get that they are business, and need to make money for their time. I do. But $45 for 15-20 minutes? And never seeing a doctor? And with US assisting the nurse? With exam not even starting? The kind, common sense, compassionate, and smart business thing to do, would have been to build a rapport with us, let us go without any charges so we could then save additional money needed, and then urge us to return for sedation+examination. We gladly would have done this, but with the way this was handled, and now that they took $45 from me, it tells me everything I need to know about this place and what the future treatment could look like. And to make matters worse, we are now short $45, so we have to get that money somehow so we can go to another specialist. This has caused yet another delay in getting our poor boy looked at and who knows what further irreparable damage it has caused. read more

Awhile back, I called this office to see if they could get us in sooner than our regular ophthalmologist (they couldn't) and they told me that I could only get an appointment if I paid around $300 and subjected my dog to a standard blanket of tests, because according to them, every animal they see undergoes these tests and all ophthalmologists require them (not true, just call around and ask). Our dog had an ulcer in her eye, and I didn't think shoving strips of paper under her eyelids to check tear production was a good idea, nor was checking her eye pressure a priority at the time. I gave them a poor review based on this interaction. Yesterday, our vet called in sick and we saw a new vet for a different eye issue (one that those tests would have actually been beneficial in evaluating) and he referred us to this office. Their phone number wouldn't go through, so I emailed them asking for an appointment. I got a response, which I screenshotted and attached, basically stating that they refused to see us because I gave them a bad review. Apparently, you can't go to this office unless you blindly consent to forcing your dog to undergo scary, uncomfortable tests (even when unnecessary and/or potentially harmful) and then have the audacity to leave a less than stellar review. It seems to me that if they get butthurt over a review, they'll refuse to see you and leave your dog to suffer as punishment for not bending to their will and for warning other potential pet owners about their office. Not exactly someone I want taking care of my pets, so I'll consider that as a bullet dodged. Make sure you do some research before committing to this office, which seems to be more concerned with their ego than with a dog that needs their help. Free advice from someone who's worked in the medical field for over 15 years: Be very, very weary of a medical provider who doesn't tolerate you asking questions and interprets it as "questioning the way they practice medicine." *For those wondering, we are already scheduled with our regular ophthalmologist that we've used for years for our other two dogs.* read more

Animal Eye Specialists - Veterinarians Near Me - Plano, Texas

We were referred to Animal Eye Specialists and Dr. Beaumont by our primary care veterinarian. Our pup had slowly been losing some vision and her eyes had that blue cast to it. We went to Animal Eye Specialists about two years ago and we started checking more often her vision with Dr. Beaumont. It became time to have the cataract surgery done on our pup. After seeing Dr. Beaumont for a few visits, we felt comfortable and confident in her abilities to restore our girl's vision. She is an extremely healthy 13 and she passed the medical tests, we were very hopeful for a good outcome so she could enjoy her life with us. Needless to say, I was, was a bit nervous but our pup came through the surgery just fine. At the two weeks mark we went in for a checkup and she had developed an issue and Dr. Beaumont was quick to resolve that issue and even came in the day after Thanksgiving to make sure that our baby was doing great for the long holiday weekend. Above and beyond, and so appreciated. We just had our two-month post-surgery checkup and I swear Dr. Beaumont used the word perfect 20 times to describe our baby's eyes. She even said she looked younger! We are so grateful to each and every person at Animal Eye Specialists, especially Dr. Beaumont. Her manner bedside manner with the pups is fantastic but even better with the overprotective parents. The staff made everything extremely easy to get through that first week with all the medications and drops - it made it a lot less overwhelming! We are incredibly grateful and would recommend Dr. Belmont to anybody who needs to consider seeing an eye specialist for their fur a child. read more

Words cannot begin to describe how grateful I am. After a horrible experience with our vet at Banfield, we found ourselves having to look for a specialist. I was given a list of 5 Ophthalmology clinics and was calling around to see the soonest I could get Chance in. After calling all 5 to get a feel for the clinics, we chose Animal Eye Specialist! Whoever I talked to that day was the sweetest and was the main reason why I picked Animal Eye Specialist over the other 4 places. Dr. Beaumont was a godsend. She is compassionate and comforting. When I first learned of Chance's diagnosis it was difficult for me and she gave me all of my options and her priority was to get Chance better. She was calm and understanding and I knew Chance was going to be in good hands. After Chance's surgery he started getting some pep back in his step and his incision looked amazing! It has been 2 weeks post surgery and Chance looks great and we got our stitches out today! If your baby is needing surgery Dr. BEAUMONT IS THE BEST. Michelle is such a sweetheart and I love her upbeat energy. She helped answer my questions and is always gentle and loving with Chance. You have so much patience, especially the first day when I was hysterical. You comforted me and your positivity was something I desperately needed. Quinn or Guinn, (I should know this... I am sorry!) You are so sweet and noticed I was commuting for Dallas. She looked up my address to see how far I would be from the Dallas location since they would be there around the time Chance would need his follow up! She is always smiling and I was shocked someone would take the time to do that. I don't know the names of some of the other front office people, but they always greet with a huge smile and ask about your baby. The offices are clean and I would not go anywhere else. If your baby is needing an eye specialist this is the place to go!!!! read more

See all

Ps. Update!!! They did call me after this post and told me she will not refill my prescription for my dog and to find another dr I trust more. Instead of taking feedback and apologizing! If you cared about dogs you would help them regardless if you like the owner! The front desk had made me feel really guilty before bc I couldn't afford to bring my baby back financially in the amount of time I needed to. Over Covid I had to cancel and that was the first time she seemed to be understanding. Dr Beaumont is a little dry anyways but usually at least seems ok with the dogs or makes some sort of greeting. I was so happy to get to go back with my dog this time and my dog was an angel. Dr Beaumont seemed annoyed at her slobber on the floor but hello you work with dogs and she's an English bulldog. I really hesitated to post this bc I don't want them to treat me differently or not help next time. They made me come back in to get refills but then asked me why I was there where I needed to be putting that $ toward the medication. Well no joke, my thoughts exactly! Not all of us are rich doctors! read more

My pup and I came back for a visit after Dr Beaumont recommended we try a steroid treatment instead of a biopsy or surgery right away. The mass on her eye shrunk drastically and changed color after more than a week of treatment. Dr Beaumont ran a few tests and came to the conclusion that it was either a sting or a bacterial infection. The mass was in a strange spot and not something common seeing as how our regular vet had never seen something similar either. I am so greatful to Dr Beaumont for recommending treatment rather than forcing us into a $1,500 surgery right off the bat. The medication was only $30! She saved us a ton of money, put as at ease and spared our poor pup from enduring the stress of surgery and recovery. I would definitely recommend Dr Beaumont for anyone who has a pup with an eye problem. She's such a nice woman, gentle with my pup and didn't pressure me into a surgery that was unnecessary. I can't express how happy I am with this clinic!! read more

The best, most professional care and treatment for our pup Jaxon. Barely three months old, his eyeball punctured by an irascible cat. For several days it was touch and go whether he would actually lose his eye. Dr. Beaumont provided specific care guidelines, and after about 10 days my young buddy was 'paroled' from the pills, drops and gel -- as well as the loathsome cone. Thanks to the care he received, Jaxon is back on track to being a fully sighted, precocious pup. My gratitude is boundless. read more

Animal Eye Specialists - "Thank you, Dr. Beaumont! You are my hero!" - Veterinarians Near Me - Plano, Texas

Dr. Beaumont and her staff are great! I was so scared when our vet referred us as I wasn't sure what the mass could be on my dog's eyelid or how large of a surgery this would be. When I called they immediately set my mind at ease. They had already reviewed the records and explained that Dr. B does this type of procedure all the time. I was given an anxiety med for my dog in recovery in case the cone made her crazy. I never had to use it, but it was suggested to use before we came back for stitch removal. Well, I forgot since I hadn't needed it. But Dr. Beaumont and her staff were so kind and gently, and my husky came through like a champ. I am so thankful for this specialist and her special staff! read more

Jack had a tumor growing between his eye and his eye lid. We were recommended to Animal Eye Specialists by our family vet. AES was wonderful. The staff was kind, careful with our Jack and always followed up. Dr. Beaumont was outstanding. She performed a procedure that removed the mass without the need for sutures. We have the highest regard for AES and their care of our Jack. read more

The only reason I give this place 3 stars is bc of the front desk staff....they seemed VERY irritated that I'd asked them to have Dr. Beaumont follow up with me on a specific issue as if that was really an annoyance for the main front desk person. Dr. Beaumont herself was good and thorough. Driving to Plano to see her was a hike bc I'm in Dallas but she solved the issue with my dog, however the front desk person is "Director of First Impressions" and was truly annoyed at the simple request I had in Dr. Beaumont reaching out to me both that morning and as a follow up based on my other abet sending some additional data. read more

A week ago My 12 week old lab puppy got bit in the eye. The staff at the ER were very concerned about the eye. The front desk staff were amazing and able to get me an appointment that very morning. They worked hard to calm a 12 week old puppy without further traumatizing him. Subsequently, Dr. Beaumont was able to do a good eye exam and prescribe meds. She had excellent communication skills and took the time to chat with us. A week later the eye looks fantastic and my pup has a bright future. Will be telling all my dog sport friends about this facility! read more

Dr. Beaumont advised a $2,200 corneal flap surgery for my 12-year-old dog. I emphasized that my main objective was to help my dog become comfortable and ease her pain. That was not well received, as the doctor replied, "That's what I would do for my dog." When she had the lights off in the room during her exam, she tried to talk to me several times even though I told her that I am not comfortable having a conversation in the dark. The doctor described several medicines, and I told her that I was not familiar with these words. She continued to call them by their generic drug names even though I told her that calling them by name did not help. She got up and left the exam room as I was talking. I will never go back to this vet. read more

If only I could give more than 5 stars! I am in the people healthcare profession and have never encountered an office like this whether it be people or animals. I was initially recommended to another eye specialist nearer where I live but could not get in for 2 wks. They got us in in two days which if I had waited, come to find out that our kitty may have lost her vision permanently if had not been treated sooner! Dr. Beaumont is the consummate professional with a calm demeanor. She thoughtfully relays information and showed me some tips in medicating that was a break through whereas I had never been able to before. She treated us holistically and addressed other issues to consider in the care of our aging kitty. Her staff is bar none, vets techs MIchelle and Carly were so knowledgeable and genuinely caring from the heart - simply the best I have ever encountered. Gwyn at the front desk puts one at ease. The high level of stress when one's fur baby is in need, is allayed here. Dr. Beaumont and her staff are truly vested in the best outcome. We will forever be grateful for their expert care and treatment. read more

After being referred by our veterinary, that we trust implicitly, we met Dr Beaumont. And now, we wish to Thank you Dr Beaumont, for your keen insight, knowledge and expertise in diagnosing and performing eye surgery on our 9 year old Lhasa Apso, O"Reilly. His recovery, from the removal of his eye, has been rapid. Within a week, he was playing with his toy's and going for walks. Your advice to have surgery soon was right on since the tumor was malignant, but contained within the eye. We appreciated the courtesy of staff, especially Jillian, with her ready smile and kind, caring words when she called to check on O'Reilly. We feel fortunate to have u treating not only O'Reilly's eye health, but his sister DeLou as well!! Jerry & Liz Webb read more

In response to the managers reply: The bottom line is that I don't "feel" like I was treated poorly, I really was. Your receptionist was rude and condescending.

We brought "Milton Nacho" to Dr. Beaumont and her team at Animal Eye Specialists in despair because he was having problems with his right eye. It turns out he had a serious ulcer in his cornea which had become infected. We were afraid he would lose his sight. Dr. Beaumont and her team immediately displayed a high degree of professionalism and deep knowledge and quickly went into action. After several weeks of active and involved treatment, I am happy to report that Milton Nacho is back to his old self. His eye has healed, it is in working condition and his tail is wagging once again. It is not an exaggeration to say that Dr. Beaumont and her team saved Milton Nacho's sight. We will be eternally grateful for this. If you have any concerns about your pet's eyes, look no further!!!! read more

My 16-year old Papillon developed mineralization on the corneas of both eyes. The left eye was the worst and a piece broke off, scratched and punctured the cornea creating an ulcer. Our vet only saw the scratched cornea and prescribed medications for that but told us if our pup did not respond to treatment in a few days we should see an animal ophthalmologist. We are so thankful for Dr. Stephanie Beaumont and her team. They were able to get us in right away and surgery was scheduled within the week. We were terrified of sedation for 16-year old pup. Dr Beaumont explained how it would be administered and we had complete confidence in her. The surgery was performed. Our pup was up and around within a few hours and today he had his 2-week follow-up. He has completely healed!! He is his usual happy, frisky self and we are thrilled. This practice is first class. Dr Beaumont and her team are outstanding. We highly recommend Animal Eye Specialists and we are grateful we found them. read more

All the staff at Animal Eye Specialists were helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. Dr. Beaumont is def the animal eye whisperer...She successfully cured ulcers in both eyes of my beloved Sasha. After the operations I was sent home with a helpful 'cheat sheet' for the follow up regimen of pills and drops etc. I drove to see her from Dallas and it was well worth it.I would strongly recommend Dr. Beaumont for any pet with eye problems. Animal Eye Specialists are really the experts in this field. read more

We were referred for a terribly sad reason but I knew our dog was in good hands. Dr. Beaumont is a certified veterinary opthamologist and surgeon. She was compassionate and candid with us. Our rescue pup had an eye infection that severely damaged his eye. The only path forward was surgery. She had a specific recommendation, which is rare. Too many vets have an "it's up to you" approach. She steered us away from trying to save his eye with a complicated surgery that would result in little or no vision and recommended we remove it. I was in shock. She explained both procedures thoroughly and calmly - which was a good thing because I was far from calm - and we followed her recommendation. We were reassured and we knew our dog was in good hands. Her staff is very professional also. We recommend her without reservation. read more

I know this may not seem fair, but I called around to 3 different Vet's specializing in eye care, explained my story to them, asked for exam fee and what all it included, and Animal Eye Specialists are the only ones who refused to give me just a range for removal of the eye. The other 2 places gave me a range, which is all I was asking for. Their initial visit also doesn't include as much as the other 2 clinics (Animal Ophthalmology Clinic and Veterinary Eye Institute). I'll be going to one of those just from service I rec'd over the phone. Not as confident in them. read more

I could have gone to a general vet for this surgery to save some money but I wanted someone who does this all the time and knows exactly what is best and how to do it.

I would not recommend this place. The staff was not friendly. Dr. Beaumont was not friendly either. She performed a surgery to save my dogs eye. She told us the surgery had a 95% success rate. The surgery failed and she never gave us a clear indication as to why. During follow ups , which she did not include in the estimated cost from the beginning .She said she didn't know why it was failing and always said let's give it more time. I paid her over $3000 . I feel robbed. 8 weeks after surgery I gave up on this Dr . I was tired of seeing my dog suffer and took my dog to my vet to remove her eye. I believe Dr Beaumont should have never done the surgery to begin with. I believe my dogs eye was to far gone. But when your in this situation , all you want is to help your dog. read more

The family began talking about putting her down - our little 16 year old maltipoo was miserable. That was before we started seeing Dr. Beaumont. We moved to Texas a few months prior and had seen three different vets over five appointments. No one was able to completely alleviate the redness, squinting, rubbing, crying, yelping, and obvious discomfort that had developed shortly after we moved. Although our dog always had gunky eyes, the discharge was the worst it had ever been. She was starting to snap at my hands when I attempted to clean her eyes so I knew she was really uncomfortable and in pain. I could no longer handle seeing her pacing around the house - yelping as she desperately pawed and scratched at her eyes. Thank goodness the last vet we saw immediately recommended that we see Dr. Beaumont. Fast forward six weeks from then to today, and our dog is now doing fantastic!!! Her eyes look clearer than ever and the discomfort is gone. The difference is truly amazing!!! Additionally and unexpectedly, I'm super surprised to see that now the hair around her eyes which have always been a bit gunky her whole life is suddenly clean and beautiful! I've felt guilty for 16 years as vets in three different states have said that "all I need to do" is to wipe her eyes every day to keep the gunk away. All my efforts and diligence (such as eye rinses, combs, warm wet towels, diet changes, allergy medications, hypoallergenic beddings, increased grooming etc.) have always seemed futile. But now, with Dr. Beaumont's diagnosis and treatment plan, my dog is more beautiful and (importantly) the most comfortable than she's been in 16 years. Wish we had found Dr. Beaumont years ago! read more

I was referred to Dr. Beaumont, DVM, at Animal Eye Care Specialists, when my Bichon developed a non-healing corneal ulcer. Dr. Beaumont confirmed the ulcer and perform several tests on both eyes to fully examine them and prescribed keratotomy surgery, which she fully explained the cause, costs, risks, and prognosis.

I had my dog with Dr. Beaumont for 3 to 4 years. Very nice people and ok in the beginning. The last year my bostons eye got worse, after spending about $5,000 in 2020 over about 8 months I asked twice about removing the eye. Once in the mid point of treatment, I was told it was not needed at this time by Dr. Beaumont the eye could be saved. Toward the end when I asked again , I was told it would be $3,000 to remove the eye. At that point I had said to Gwen I felt it was all a play to keep me and my money coming back. When Dr. Beaumont called me back at my request her explanation was her judgement on removing the eye went by what she felt was what the owner wanted. If she felt that I did not want the eye removed she should have had the conversation. I felt I made my position known. Mind you I am not the doctor, my dog has been blind for several years and she does not have a lucrative modeling contract. Missing an eye would not hurt her but would hurt their bottom line. At some points we were at 16 to 24 drops in her eye per day, that did disrupt her life and mine. I have waited to write this review because I do blame myself for not stopping the madness sooner. I do feel like a fool. But bottom line they are the specialist and I trusted their judgement. Shame on me. read more

Our 9 year old female Poodle went completely blind from diabetes induced cataracts. She was becoming depressed so we were referred to Animal Eye Specialist by our vet. Dr. Beaumont and staff were very professional and caring, we had surgery on her and now 3 months later she sees better than anyone else in the family and her eyesight measured 20/20. I highly recommend AES for excellent results. read more

Dr. Beaumont and the staff at Animal Eye Specialists were superb. After two unsuccessful attempts by other vets to determine the cause of our pups eye problem, it was Dr. Beaumont who was able to determine what was bothering our sweet girl. What stood out was her competent staff who were loving and helpful, and then how she seemingly knew that there was something else wrong and bingo was able to pull out a piece of "plant" that was stuck under the third lid of our sweet dog's eye. My dog had been in excruciating pain and two prior vet visits before finally being cared for properly. Dr. Beaumont and her staff ROCK! read more

The only reason I am giving only 3 stars is because I found out today from my regular vet that they do an eye enumeration between $85-150 and I had my beloved dog's eye removed with Dr. Beaumont was $1,979.00. I feel totally price gouged, be aware. I already live paycheck to paycheck and am not wealthy or even close to it by any means. My dog was diagnosed with high blood pressure and every time I walked through the door just to check his blood pressure with Dr. Beaumont cost me around $140.00 just to check his blood pressure! Teaches me to go get a second opinion from my regular vet from now on before I agree to any other surgeries. My regular vet that my dogs have been going to ever since they were babies have always been awesome and very fair and do not price gouge! The only reason I went back to Dr. Beaumont this time is because she diagnosed my dogs blindness in January this year because my vet couldn't diagnose his condition and he ended up having SARDS but my dog adjusted to the blindness. I didn't have a problem with the staff's care of my baby and Amy and Michelle were awesome and very empathetic. read more

Dr. Beaumont and her staff are caring, communicative, knowledgeable and efficient professionals. They go out of their way to be certain that their patients and family understand and are able to follow the protocols necessary to get the best result. All findings, discussion, medications, and follow up appointments are documented and a copy provided almost immediately following the visit. A staff member revisits the protocols verbally and offers assurance of assistance as needed. I recommend Animal Eye Specialist without any reservation. read more
