I would never trust Five Star Vet with a pet . What started as a very serious situation with my cat turned into an extremely frustrating and heartbreaking experience. They completely missed the fact my cat had mouth cancer even though his face was asymmetrical and swollen!!!! As a pet owner, you expect compassion, transparency, and confidence from the people caring for your animal -- especially when your pet is suffering. Instead, they made me pay several hundred dollars for arthritis tests!! On top of everything th staff was awful to my animal! Pinning him down and yelling at him!!! I would not recommend this clinic to friends, family, or anyone looking for quality veterinary care. read more

As a vet, they're okay. The team is friendly. But there are two big issues: 1. They now charge a 3% credit card fee. I brought it up at the time--credit cards are the safest, most common way to pay in 2025. I don't carry cash or a debit card. I get that processing fees are a pain, but passing that onto consumers is wild. They offered to email me a payment link so we could use a debit card, but the 3% fee was already added--and hidden--with no invoice, just a total. Turns out, to avoid the fee, you have to go in person or pay over the phone. Which brings me back to the point: credit cards are safe; debit cards are not. Hiding a charge like that behind a lump sum total is absolutely criminal. Lucky we checked--and lucky we won't be going back. If you're finding ways to bury fees in invoices to make people pay more, you're not running an honest business. It's like a server sneaking extra drinks onto a big tab. It's theft. 2. They try to sell you. We all love our pets and want what's best for them. But just like at the dentist, I don't need the upsell. If something's truly needed, I'll do it--no hesitation. For example, they recommended bloodwork for our dog that wasn't essential. The in-house price was close to $300. I said that felt steep if it wasn't necessary. A minute later, they came back with a cheaper option--sending it to an external lab for half the cost. Apparently, it's just more expensive to do it in-house. So why wasn't that the first option? If it's cheaper and just as effective, that should be the default. Unfortunately, this means we'll need to find a new vet. read more

Dr Gudipally is beyond amazing. Last night my 14YO Yorkie had severe stroke-like symptoms and was vomiting, shaking his head, breathing very fast, and not able to walk / sit without falling to the side. It was a long and tearful night and was expecting to put my dog down today. The moment Dr Gudipally looked into my dog's eyes, he instantly told me he was fine and he had idiopathic vestibular syndrome. We ran tests, doctor was intuitively right, and educated me on what we were dealing with. Feeling so blessed and grateful - thank you!!!

When I brought my cat here for an exam, the veterinarian said, "I'm not looking to get scratched, so how do you want to do this?" She was too afraid of my very small cat to examine her. She made me hold her down during the entire examination. She then shaved all the fur off my cat's back, when the wound was under an inch in size. On top of all that, I paid my entire balance due at the time of services, but a few days later they contacted me to tell me I owed them a lot more money. I have proof showing I already paid them on my bank statement, but they insist I didn't pay. I won't ever bring another pet here again. read more

The veterinarian performed an invasive surgery on our cat without consent from us. We took our cat to this veterinary clinic when he had been chronically sick for years. He would form open wounds on his skin and throw up very often to name a couple symptoms. We took our cat to this vet looking for answers and help after years of struggling to find a treatment or even answer to what our cat was struggling with. We took our cat in for a BIOPSY, and instead he was given anesthetic and the veterinarian performed a surgery where he took multiple chunks of skin from our cat removing ALL of the lesions on his body. Resulting in us picking up our cat mangled and terrified. He was shaven and had several long scars all over his body. The meaning of the appointment was to do tests on the lesions to determine what they were. So we could then make a decision on how to treat him. The vet took that choice from us and traumatized our pet and us in the process. They removed all of his lesions all together as if it were to treat him. After this, we payed for an expensive medicine that we were to give him on a regular basis (another medicine to push down his throat after so many before). After all of this, we thought his lesions are gone, hopefully this was the answer. But not long after the scars healed he started getting the wounds again. And we were back to square one. The veterinarian was not easy to reach after the ordeal and suffice to say we did not continue going here. I'd like to add that when I brought him back in for a checkup and to get stitches removed. Our cat was as terrified as he's ever been at a vets office. The attendants had to manage an absolute nightmare of a cat patient but were so rough to get ahold of him and give him a sedative that I left the room crying. Debated on sharing this especially since it was almost 4 years ago now but it was actually horrific and I hope this will cause the veterinarian to take more care. read more

Highly recommend not using this veterinarian. We brought our dog in to get what we thought was a simple procedure (Spay) and we ended up with what looks like an open wound. This picture is Two Weeks Post Op! They removed the stitches and sent her on her way.... I contacted the clinic after my wife brought our dog home because it didn't look right. They gave us antibiotics for the next 7 days. I'd find another vet. We will not be returning in the future. Horrible! read more

Five Star Veterinary Center - Two Weeks Post Op (Spay) - Veterinarians Near Me - Bee Cave, Texas

I brought my 15-year-old cat in just to die a few hours later at home. A few weeks prior I took her in for labored breathing. After doing an X-ray they suggested we drain the fluid in her lungs. I agreed to do whatever we needed to get my baby through the holidays, considering her age. They ran tests to see the cause and a few days later I received the results just to tell me they THINK she might have cancer. Two weeks later I called back because her breathing was becoming more rapid and they suggested I bring her back in to drain more fluid. The next day, I brought her in, they drained the fluid and I took her home. She died a few hours later. Did I mention I paid, in all.. a little over 2K... The last 2 weeks have been a major roller coaster of emotions for me! read more

Been going here for years, my dog is 14 and yes he's an old man, but we were getting his rabies shot (which lasts 3 years) and the vet said "this will probably be the last one he'll need" which yes maybe it will be, but it was just a very unnecessary and insensitive thing to say. This dog is the dog I've grown up with for 14 years now (I'm 21) good services but like girl u didn't have to say that. read more

Great for those who like to pay twice as much as other local vets and then get rude receptionists trying to nickel and dime them while giving attitude. read more

Dr Krobot is the best vet I have ever encountered. Nice clean place. Nice front desk staff.

Dr. Riddle will take excellent care of your pet. Thank you for your expertise, and pet care. We will see you soon!

Dr. Gudipally is the best Vet I have found in Austin. He is extremely smart, compassionate and understands how to treat quickly and safely. I strongly recommend you use this vet for all of your pet needs. We had a small emergency before the holiday and he personally called me to let me know about a better safer way to treat a pesky ear infection. Another vet suggested ear packing which could lead to deafness. We were able to get our dog in quickly to see Dr. G and he makes us feel so much better knowing that our dog will not only feel better but getting the most update treatment. We also use his grooming salon and Hannah is the best groomer! She knows details about our dog and how to treat his feet with extra special care. This is the best office on Hwy 71 in Bee Cave. If you have have not been to this trip it is worth the trip. FIVE STARS for FIVE STAR! read more

Dr. G saved my Dog, Jack's life. My dog had severe vomiting and Dr. G diagnosed him with Pancreatitis. It didn't improve right away & his symptoms were severe. I thought it was his cancer returning, but Dr. G kept assuring me that it was pancreatitis. When it didn't resolve, I thought about putting him down (he is 13), but Dr. G was steadfast that it wasn't the cancer. My dog is healthy now, on prescription low fat dog food for the rest of his life & happier than he has been in a few years. We have stopped giving him people food since that is what caused the pancreatitis. Every time I called (which was many times) to talk to Dr. G about Jack, he got on the phone & reassured me. So grateful for him and Five Star Vet! read more

I would give zero stars if I could . When I went to pick my dog up she was in pain . They had a vet technician come out and say she could have trauma that's why she was sensitive to touch. I went back a few days later asking if anyone could tell me if my dog had been attacked by another animal or hit by an employee. They lady at the desk said she had been sensitive to touch and haven't moved 2 days . I had to carry my dog outside and hand feed her for 3 days before I got her into her vet. You would think since it's a Vet and boarding facility a dog was in that much pain the Vet would have taken a look at the animal . If you love your animal find another place to board . read more

Had to use this clinic when my usual one couldn't get us in on short notice. Clean facility, friendly staff. Still fairly disorganized and the system seems to be slow but hopefully that will get better the longer they are open. I wish they had a sign better indicating where their "driveway" is off 71 so that you don't have to make a last minute transition to the turning lane (if you're heading east). The vet we saw seems to have negative feelings about pit bulls in general which made us feel a bit uncomfortable. read more

We brought our nine week old puppy to them because he was very sick with bronchitis. The entire team, including Dr. Gudipally took excellent care of him. We very much appreciate them and highly recommend this clinic. read more

Dr. Gudipalli is amazing. He correctly diagnosed my dog with pancreatitis when I brought her to him and she suffered for 4 years with it and no one could diagnose it. He and his staff are friendly and reassuring. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who has a pet. read more

Dr G is the most caring and compassionate vet I have known. We have two aging dogs, both with medical needs. Dr Gudipally came in early to diagnose and treat our pug when she recently had an episode where she was struggling. I would highly recommend Dr Gudipally and the team for all your pet's maintenance and medical needs. read more

Do not waste your time here! 1) Hiked nail trim price from $14 to $22. 2) They charge a $25 fee before you can become their client (even if just for trims). 3) They move at glacial speed. 4) My bigger dog is 8yo and has never needed to be muzzled, ever. This last visit he "tried to bite someone". I get he's a dog and can be unpredictable, but something tells me knowing his past and temperament that he didn't just become a vicious dog. Just go anywhere else. Trust me. My only explanation is that the clinic is struggling for business and passing it on to what small clientele they have. read more

DO NOT board your animals here. I picked up my dog from boarding and her front paws were bleeding and swollen. There were signs of urine burn on her feet and fecal caked in her toes. read more

This animal hospital is awesome. The staff are all extremely kind and caring and the vet, Dr. G. Is wonderful. I have a 16-yr-old cat who took a bad turn right before we were going out of town for Thanksgiving. They took her for the week and took great care of her, and she even came back with a little belly (and she had been struggling to keep food in). I highly recommend! read more

Initially I had a good experience for my first visit. However, I was told I told during the first visit by the vet that even though my dog was due for the rabies she wanted to wait until our next appointment in two weeks when her other shot was due so as to not give her to many vaccines at once (only other two she had was the bórdatella and Parvo) . She told me next time I wouldn't have to pay the exam fee just the vaccine. Well here I come for my follow up and I get charged the exam fee then get told it's the law that a rabies vaccine has to come with an exam. This irritates me because they were being dishonest to get the extra exam fee. If my dog was eligible for the rabies last appointment why didn't you give it to her then and split the bordatella vaccine for the follow up and why would you tell me I wouldn't need to pay the exam fee again? Not to mention they try to add and upsell you on so many other services at the end of your visit. Very disappointed in the dishonesty of this veterinarian. read more

Dr Godipelli and staff are awesome !! When I 1st visited his 5 star clinic 3 mos. ago , my dog, Dolly , had extreme anxiety and pain ~ she had been burned in several areas by a groomer w/ overheated clippers . My long term (15 years !) vet could not "squeeze " her in even though I called back 3X. I called 5 star and they responded immediately . Dr. Godipelli even got down on the floor with Dolly to comfort her and gain her confidence ! He discussed with me the treatments , etc and administered meds that gave immediate relief and had all meds available that he sent home. Cost ??? Well , it was unbelievably reasonable !! My well known PREVIOUS vet would have been well over a thousand dollars !!! 5 STAR VET CLINIC 512-886-1700 . LOCATED HWY71 read more

Vijay and his staff are nothing short of excellent. I can't say enough about how caring Vijay is and he actually listens to what we want for our dog. Vijay isn't quick on saying our pets need medicine or surgeries. He always thinks outside the box before rushing into other solutions. We came from a Vet who constantly put our dogs on medicine and never spent really much time with them. Vijay is patient and truly cares about all of his animals. Thank you Vijay for always being there for my pets and for us. We appreciate you and your team. read more

Our normal vet was closed for the weekend, so we drove a good distance to get here, but it was such a great experience, I will gladly make the drive again the next time we need vet care. Super friendly staff and doctor, was seen promptly and our dog was provided with excellent care. Affordable visit and not overcharged at all. 10/10 recommend. read more

We awoke early this morning to our 12 week old kitten flipping and flopping and crying. She had a fishing lure double hook stuck in her upper lip and through her nose . she also had her back leg caught and was in the shape of a U if you will basically hog tied with the hooks. We live in Marble Falls and our vet was not open nor has an emergency contact. I found 5 Star and they answered , this was at 8:00 am on a Sunday. I was so happy when they said bring her to us we will take care of her. They had a room waiting for us and took our sweet Moon right in. They said they would need to sedate her to remove 2 hooks from her. The staff and doctors were very friendly, helpful and took care of her. They called us in a hour and told us she was doing well and was ready to go home. I was so relieved. They are by far the best! I cannot thank them enough for what they did in saving her. They bandaged our sweet baby and gave us instructions , antibiotics and special wet food to eat while her mouth is healing. Not having to go by a pharmacy to pick up meds was so great. I told my daughter we may drive the 45 min and change vets. They are truly caring here . Thank you for everything. I will add the price was way less than I expected and would have been twice as much at my current local veterinary office though I would gladly pay anything to save our fur babies. read more

Dr. Gudipally is the best vet you can ask for. Him and his staff go above and beyond in providing the best care for our pets. We have three dogs, and we do not trust anyone with their care more than Dr. Gudipally and staff. They always take the time to answer questions and provider care for our little guys, and they are incredibly compassionate and caring with their dogs. You know that they will provide you with honest guidance and that their hearts and minds are focused on the best interests of our pets. All the staff deserves such recognition and applause for the incredible work they do on a daily basis. We cannot recommend this clinic more! read more

We have been on the hunt for a new get as the one we were using when we moved was extremely snotty and stuck up. I tried several places I've seen recommended and nobody had appointments for the entire week. Why a vet would book up every appointment for an entire week excluding sick animals that need to be seen is beyond me but oh well. I was able to get an appointment and treated with so much kindness and care each time I called. I happened to be running a bit late due to work and they were so nice about it. I actually made it on time and they were pretty happy for me ha! The vet came out to talk to me 3 separate times and they were so helpful and nice. I know it seems odd to continue talking about how kind people are but we've had the worst experience around here with people being rude. We don't have a ton of money and wish we could do everything for our dogs but we have always done the very best we can and will save for the bigger things that need to be done for them and I really appreciate that my sweet girl was seen and helped by people who care. They gave us a price list for things that we should look into getting done and talked to my girlfriend about different possibilities and when to come back if things didn't improve. This is a wonderful place and I will bring my other baby here as well. Thank you for your kindness and thoroughness with my little baby. read more

Well, well, well, here we go again. I cannot say enough great things about this clinic. Rosie, my 6 year old Basset Hound was up all night and into the early morning Saturday 3/29, could not pee, poo, or throw up as hard as she tried. Her tummy sounded like a volcano erupting, no appetite Poor girl was absolutely miserable and worn out. I called the clinic and was told to come straight in. Caylee greeted us with her usual sweet self, Vet Kelley was off for the day. We saw Dr. R. (I would slaughter is name), Vet Kelley has spoken extremely highly of Dr. R., and now I know why. He was on the phone with me while I sat out in my car (Coronavirus), explained everything in detail asked a lot of questions. I thought Rose may have an obstruction, I was worried to death. Dr. R. called me within minutes of taking her X-Ray assuring me it was totally normal. Thank GOD! Although she did have a very upset tummy. He then told me he would do a blood test and check her urine. Blood test normal, urine, not so much. Dr. R sent us home with medication, after one dose and hours of sleep, Rose was ready to play with her 13 week old brother and 9 month old kitten, like nothing happened. I am such a worry wart, and have been called a helicopter mom, but these innocent fur babies trust us to take care of them. I am so grateful for all that Dr. R, did and the constant communication he had with me. Thank you with all my heart Dr. R. Now it's time for me to get some sleep! PS Thank you too VEt Kelley,(you know why, such a doll). read more

We have been going to five star for just under a year now. We have been so impressed by the team. Dr. Gudipally is always available and returns our calls quickly. He is honest in his opinions, compassionate, and makes sure we understand his recommendations. Dr. Braezeale is so kind and compassionate. Casey has been amazing, she is sweet empathetic, professional and always so helpful. Haley is just so sweet. It is obvious She genuinely cares about each of our dogs that has been in. She has been a blessing with her caring nature through some hard things recently, as has the rest of the team. We are so glad we made the change to this practice. We can always get in, and never have issues getting in touch with one of the doctors. We highly recommend this team. Thank you all for your compassionate care! read more

Dr. Breazeale is incredible - hands down the most attentive and caring vet I have ever seen. My dog was lethargic and not eating. She ran blood work and most of the results were normal. She noticed a few numbers were slightly off (Sodium, Electrolytes, etc.) Most vets would have probably blown me off but Dr. B spent a long time asking me questions and with my dog. She had a gut instinct that my dog could have Addisons based on his symptoms and blood work - she ordered more tests and we found out he does have Addisions. She has called every single day to check on his progress and how he is feeling. I highly recommend Five Star Vet and Dr. B! read more

Amazing staff, fast and very helpful. Also very affordable! I wish I knew about this place sooner!

Excellent care by Dr. Breazeale and her staff! We took our newly adopted cat to her and she was amazing with him! We are grateful for their amazing care! read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. We're visiting Austin for 2 months and our 12-year-old golden retriever developed a teary, sensitive eye that persisted for several days. We had no problem getting him an appointment. Both the vet, Kelly, and the vet tech were thorough, friendly and did a great job working to diagnose the problem and prescribe an antibiotic cream while completely checking him for any other potential issues. The facility is clean and nice and their prices are VERY reasonable. I especially liked that they presented an estimate for treatment costs after looking at him before doing anything further. read more

You won't find a vet better then Five Star. Genuine, friendly and loves our dog like their own. Competitive prices! Convenient location! They keep the facilities squeaky clean! We have an older dog with heart conditions, after our first appointment the vet took time to email several pages of notes/suggestions on how we can keep him happy and healthy, WITHOUT making recommendations that would cost us a ton of money. Seriously, don't wait to switch you won't regret it!!! read more

So happy this new vet is so close to my house! I had an emergency with my teacup and brought her in for an abscess tooth. The doctor & staff was friendly, inviting and very caring with my dog. Highly recommend! open late!! Transfering my dogs records over now. Thanks for being there! read more

like another customer my first couple of visits were fine...thought they were a little unorganized but no problem new clinic new staff no problem, 3rd visit was to just pick up dog food where they refused because they claimed they needed to do another examination, I don't think so. they also have all the previous medical records that state what dog food they have been on so there is no reason not to sell me dog food...Not a good way to start with new clients in a new location new town...really disappointed and the dr on that day wouldn't even take a moment to call the dr who examined both dogs to see if it would be ok to sell the dog food....the solution bring the dogs back tomorrow we will give them another exam then we will sell you dog food...no thank you ....the following day the old staff was back and they took care of me like they had previously.... read more

Do not use this veterinary office. Dr. B is incompetent, manipulative and dishonest. Instead of investigating the only true symptom in my sick cat, which was a mass and sensitivity in her stomach with no eating or drinking for 3 days after losing 1/4 of her body weight. She ran multiple expensive in-house blood tests and concluded the cat was diabetic with only a slightly elevated glucose test as a symptom. Dr.B insisted that I start this very sick and weak cat on a twice a day glucose test and insulin routine for a month before returning. She said that if I was not able to do so, I should re-home the cat with someone who could give her proper care. Totally shocked by her attitude, I took my starving cat home after Dr. B administered a shot to her that she said would make her eat. At home, my cat refused her special foods and treats while breathing heavily. I called the office to request that my poor cat be put out of its misery and was quoted a price by Dr.B. When I returned to the office I was told that the price would be almost double the price quoted by Dr.B. After some discussion, the office agreed to the quoted price and Dr. B suggested that I buy a cast footprint of my beloved cat. There is no end to the greed and manipulation at this clinic while one is dealing with a very sick pet. read more

Very saddened and sick at what this vet did. We took my daughter's healthy 7 month old cat in for a simple spay procedure. I get a call that she is not doing well so I go there. She died on the table. She had too much anesthetic and could not come out of it. My daughter has cried every day and has not been able to sleep in her room, this was her best friend and a part of our family. I had her body sent to A&M for an autopsy and it came back that she in fact was completely healthy and there is no other reason than anesthetic that should have killed her. The vet mentioned it was possible he gave her too much...possible, she is dead, he killed her. I have yet to even get a condolence call from him after the report. I had also boarded my dogs there 1 time and the last time. There was cat poo hanging from the crates and they didn't even give them their food. I put their names on the bags and they gave them back to me the exact way I gave it to them. His license should be taken away. While I was in the room watching her die he was working on other animals, no care for what he had done. If you want a vet that has an ounce of humanity and care for your animal, do not go here. Heart broken. Also, he said I could give both of my dogs the same annual preventative medication because they are the same size. One is 8lbs the other is 44lbs, this vet is oblivious....happened the same day. read more

Outstanding Clinic!! We recently moved to the area and I was able to get an appointment on a Sunday with Dr.Gudipally. Our 10 year old English bulldog is a Senior and has arthritis. We rescued him about 4 years ago and he is the most loving dog so we want the best for him as he lives out his Senior years. Dr. Gudipally's team came to the car and carried him into the office. I was concerned about the medication regimen from the last vet and he agreed it was not the correct path we should be on. We started Gunner on a new protocol that would be healthier on his liver and we included swimming in the lake for his exercise. Dr. Gudipally was so compassionate and he took the time to explain all of the labs and the new medication. His team was equally professional and loving towards Gunner. He is an older dog and we are starting to see the effects of aging, Dr. Gudipally took the time to explain all of his symptoms and what our plan was going forward. This is one of the best Vet's I have found in the Austin area. If you want a thorough exam and incredible care I would visit Dr. Gudipally and his team on Highway 71 in Bee Cave. AMAZING DR and extremely smart! Thank you for loving Gunner and taking care of him. We are so happy that we found your office and this will be our new home! read more
