This has been my go-to veterinarian for a LONG time. Dr. Read always takes care of my Carly. He is…read morefriendly, honest, and patient. The same goes across the board for his entire staff. They never leave me waiting long and Carly is always happy to see them. They are her family too! The prices are decent and they even have a way to get your medicine shipped to you! How convenient!

I NEVER thought I would be writing this type of review, but here we are. The first problem I ran…read moreinto was lack of communication. I've been dealing with this vet since I was in middle school, I am now in my late twenties; I've NEVER had any problems previously... so for me to get to the point of having to relocate my fur baby to a different veterinarian, is HIGHLY disappointing. My contact information has been the same - I would get reminder emails all the time. At some point the emails stopped, but I took it as my baby wasn't due for any shots. After a while, the length of time became concerning so I contacted the office. I find out she's overdue for shots; they have my email, never attempted to contact. I gave them my new phone number the last time my baby had shots... they never updated the number. An easy fix though, so I didn't make an issue of it. When I got her in for her appointment, I let the young lady at the front desk know about my fur baby having frequent loose bowel movements & vomiting. We still cannot go to the back with the vet to see what's going on, so I had to trust that my message was properly relayed. When my baby was returned to me, it was said everything was fine, whatever "everything" is. They also sent her some medicine mixed with water for her to take. (Quick side note - my baby has been 6 pounds for YEARS; that is her final adult weight, she has been that weight for EVERY visit since about 2017). After giving it some time, I STILL seen that my baby was feeble, as well as still having consistent loose bowel movements AND vomiting; so I called & left a voicemail on last Friday. It is now Monday (2|13) & I hadn't heard anything back. I took it upon myself to call on my lunch break. The lady I spoke with, gave me one hell of an experience. When I expressed to her what happened & how my baby is STILL sick, she tells me that when the vet took a fecal sample, she didn't have diarrhea... since when does diarrhea momentarily stopping, mean it doesn't exist? I also asked her, what my baby weighed her last visit, since everything is "fine"? She gets quiet, then lowly says "5.3 pounds"... so I proceed to tell her how "my baby has NEVER weighed under 6 pounds, & you would think the fact that her weight has dropped, would be some type of cause for concern" her response to me is "ma'am that's not even 1 pound"... so what?! Every problem starts small. I've given ALL these symptoms, on top of you all seeing the drop in her weight, and still nobody is concerned? During this conversation, she constantly called my baby a "he", if you have my information pulled up from the system, you see my baby is a female, why do you keep referring to her as a "he"? So when I finally told her my dog is a "she" she goes on to say "she, he, YOUR DOG, didn't have diarrhea when the doctor took a sample". I've never spoken to someone sooo insensitive like this before in my life! I've been coming here for YEARS, I have a STRONG emotional attachment to my baby; so for her to HEAR the frustration & hurt in my voice, AND disregard my concerns about my baby's health when I put my money & trust for my baby's life into this business, is ABSURD. You'd think that once all other options have been cancelled out, they'd run further tests or do further examining if I'm telling them she's WEAK, if I'm telling them I can feel her bones, if I'm telling them she's throwing up & has diarrhea. Who thinks that since a dog isn't throwing up or having diarrhea in the moment, that everything is fine if they've consistently been sick? I am DISGUSTED with the lack of sympathy from the staff at this establishment. I will NEVER bring my baby back here ever again! I pray they didn't miss anything detrimental that'll put my baby's life at risk.

Drove two hours for my cat's UTI/blockage treatment. Paid $4,200 for a two-day catheter and…read moremonitoring. He went in Tuesday after I found him straining with blood drops on the tile. They removed the catheter Thursday and had us wait 12 hours, which is standard, to see if he'd urinate normally. He re-blocked. Their "plan"? Another $4,200 to reinsert the catheter over the holiday weekend because no surgeon was available until Monday, plus $7,000 for the actual surgery. Total: $15,400. At no point did anyone explain the real risks, the high likelihood of re-blocking, or actual surgical outcomes. Zero transparency. They told me over the phone we would get a $1,084 refund if we chose euthanasia, minus the $84 communal burial fee, so around $1,000. When we showed up to say goodbye--because $15k is not realistic for most people--the refund suddenly dropped to $770. The excuse? One employee said they "checked his urine again," after we had already made the decision. Another said we were charged $230 for another day of hospitalization, even though we returned the same day as the supposed checkout time. It felt like numbers were being invented on the spot. They also pushed credit applications hard, trying to funnel us into financing their inflated corporate prices. And one more thing: On Tuesday when I dropped him off, I didn't have the full $4,200 immediately because I had to transfer money from savings--like any normal person in an emergency. I told them I could pay $2,000 now and the rest the next day when the transfer cleared. I even gave them the card number to charge. They still refused to treat him until every dollar was paid upfront. No compassion. No flexibility. Pay in full or your pet doesn't get help. This is a private-equity-owned clinic, and the behavior shows it: predatory pricing, shifting numbers, no empathy, and zero interest in the actual animal. My cat's life was effectively held behind a paywall. If I could give negative 1,000 stars, I would. Terrible care, terrible ethics--only the bathroom was clean. Save your pet's life, go somewhere else! If you have a similar story, feel free to reach out to me on IG: praecordiasghost I'd like to hear it.

After an accident, we had to rush our furry boy into NVC. I'm giving 4 stars because the emergency…read morenight clinic bled us dry and left my daughter sitting there for 5 hrs, not having very many answers or explanations, telling us it would be around $15,000 for this surgery...and not being super clear about what to expect. They would get a 2 star (only because they did give him pain meds & let him stay there the night) But...ln came the sun! Niki & the rest of the staff on day crew here at NVC took amazing care of our Bandit! I highly recommend NVC day team for care and surgery- they were professional and gave us all of the information we needed, and Niki even called several times during the process with updates, and followed up with us several times after surgery to make sure our boy is doing well! I don't know what I would do without the big hearts of people like that! Thank you for all you do Niki and for NVC helping us get Bandit back home!

Bridge City Animal Hospital has been a blessing for our family. Everyone on the staff has been…read morefriendly, kind, patient, helpful, and professional. The website is well done and makes reviewing/updating my dog's info, as well as scheduling appointments, very easy. The email and text reminders of upcoming appointments and healthcare treatments are incredibly helpful and much appreciated! When we come in for our appointments, my spouse and I, and Sophie (our GSD, Belgian "Mali-gator", Carolina Swamp Dog mixed-up pup) are always treated with respect, professionalism, and kindness, as our Sophie is very excitable and overly friendly - a real "a party on paws"! Sophie gets loved on by every staff member she meets, taken care of thoroughly, and she really seems to enjoy going to Bridge City Animal Hospital. Each staff member - from our reception/check-in/out team, to Doc Wendy, to the vet techs who do the puppy wrangling and have to test those fresh "tootsie rolls" we bring in for heartworms - is so friendly, so patient, so knowledgeable, and so awesome we are blown away! In my 65 years I can honestly say that Bridge City Animal Hospital is the best veterinary practice I have ever taken my pets to, and I highly recommend anyone in Orange, Jefferson, Jasper, and Chambers counties who needs veterinary care for their pets to contact Bridge City Animal Hospital. They are "the best in the business"!

I have a 13 year old dog that has only been to this vet. His teeth have gotten bad so we paid for…read morethe healthcare plan FOR HIS TEETH TO BE FIXED WHICH IS 650$!!!! Without that plan it's $1100.00. We soon we're told bolt has heartworms!!!!! He has been taking a pill monthly his whole life why was that not a part of the pill???? Southeast tx, someone should of let us know that he wasn't on heartworm medicine 10 years ago!!!! So, we have to do treatment for that which btw WAS NOT IN THE PLAN!!! So they tricked me and I still had to pay almost $400.00 for the heartworm treatment that nearly kills him and we cant finish. So now, after being told that I could be reimbursed if it went this way by the VETERINARIAN (not skinner) the "I'm way to big headed and completely rude" woman that does the billing is refusing to reimburse me!!! She actually offered me a store credit!!! My dogs almost dead and I have moved 100 miles away and I was told I would be reimbursed if this happens and you offer a store credit??? That was a jab in itself. NO COMPASSION FOR HUMANS THATS FOR SURE AND WAY MORE EXPENSIVE THEN ALL THE OTHER VETS IN THE BRIDGE CITY ORANGE AREA!!!!! I really can't believe it but it's true THEY TRICK YOU INTO PAYING FOR THAT HEALTH PLAN AND THEN YOU DON't get anything but more bills!!!!! I'm so glad I will never stop by there office again. HORRIBLY RUDE PEOPLE
