I could not be happier with the care Bella received. I know she is in excellent hands with Dr. Cindy Stroup as her Veterinarian. Thank you so much!‍

Noone could get them in for days and all just told me to go to emergency vet. I'm not rich and the thought of the cost of two dogs at the ER was frightening. When I called Coastal and told them what was going on with my dogs, they asked the vets and were told to fit them in that day! I, unfortunately, learned my sweet pup is in kidney failure and was devastated. Dr Brooke Certa was so genuinely kind and compassionate as she delivered the news and explained the situation. Considering I came unhinged and was hysterically crying and yet she managed to calm me speak volumes about her bedside manner. Everyone at the clinic has been professional and kind as my baby is hospitalized for treatment. I will never be able to say enough nice words about this clinic and so thankful I found them. Thank you Dr Certa. From Sam and Dean's mama

I had to come back to finish where I started. My poor dog, Rhett Butler, hasn't being the same…read moresince 6/22/2026. I had a voucher from the Animal Service, for being a senior and retired. I was very please and happy with staff that took care of me that day. The post-op was successful, apparently. He had all his leavened up, vaccines, chip, etc, up to date, with Dr. Carter. The procedure was done on 6/12/2026. 8 days into the post/op, the dog started vomiting non-stop, which left me without a choice of bringing him back. Also I noticed that his bowel movement was coal black. I can't complaint of the second time I visited them. They prescribed the dog Trazodone 2mg and Gabapentin 200mg and gave him an intravenous of vomiting fluids. That night, Rhett didn't wake up for 11 hours straight!!!When he finally woke up, his bed was full of urine and vomit (He's trained to potty outside). He look disoriented and angry (weird behavior, since I have him since he was 5 months old, he's 14, now) I returned the next day and to my surprise, it was a different staff. They took the dog elsewhere for some tests and the gave prescribed generic Carafate (sufralcate 1mg) and a prescription of omeprazole In this visit, the dog was seen by Dr. Mike Curran? and a Technician name, John (very friendly). He informed me that he needed some extra tests done because they have found, anemia in his bloodstream?How a dog have anemia after a post-op? Aren't they supposed to do a blood work, before surgery? The total was $950.00!!! They gave me an appointment 2 days later for other tests. I left the dog 5 hours with them and picked him up around 4:45pm. When he came home, he was scared and anxious and started peeing everywhere and ever since, he doesn't want to sleep in his crate, which is humongous. Now, his favorite spot, is a dark bathroom and sleeping on the floor. The next day, I called them to explain the reason of his behavior, and put me on hold and never came back to my call. Meanwhile that night I cancelled the appt. for their negligence of not following up with me. The dog was already dehydrated and whined all night long. Yesterday, I took him to Verg ER and some of test that were supposed to be done by Coastal, had to be repeated all over again. Another $861.00!!!! To my big surprise, they found that the dog diagnose, was Dog Kidney Disease, stage 3??? How on earth a licensed Vet, would not have that diagnostic from pre up tests, before surgery? Now my dog hasn't eaten in 3 days and he's constantly lethargic and apparently in pain from somewhere. Meanwhile, I have to take him to a Specialist (Nephrologist) on Monday, and I don't have the money for these extra tests and to to cover , Coastal negligence. I've being giving him boiled chicken and rice and the ER gave me 2 pills of Cerenia for his vomit. If something happens to my only company after my husband death, I will take this the Supreme Court, if I have to. He is the only thing I have Some animal clinics, are the biggest scam when it comes to money It's a shame I had to write this long message, because I was so pleased for a few days and my it turned out to be a disappointment with some of the staff. I freaking frustrated and overwhelmed with this melodrama

Our Bernese Mountain Dog, Bruno, recently had surgery at our regular vet to remove a tumor in his…read moremouth. Thankfully, everything came back benign. As expected, the surgery affected his appetite, but a few days later things took a concerning turn. By Sunday--four days post-surgery--he had completely stopped eating and drinking and became very lethargic. By that evening, he was barely moving. Having lost a dog years ago to kidney failure, I didn't want to take any chances, so I brought him to Tampa Bay Veterinary Specialists, where I've had good experiences in the past. From the moment we arrived, the team was excellent. The receptionist was kind and attentive, and after the initial exam, Dr. Ormsby came in and immediately connected with Bruno. As soon as she walked in, he perked up. What stood out most was her approach. Instead of ordering a battery of expensive tests, she said, "Let me make him a charcuterie plate." She hand-fed him baby food and a few other items--and he ate. She discussed a kidney test but didn't feel it was necessary based on his symptoms. Instead, she explained that some of his post-surgery medications could be causing gastrointestinal inflammation and treated him accordingly. We followed her guidance at home, and Bruno is now eating again and getting back to his old self. Too often, veterinary visits feel transactional. This was the opposite. They truly cared, and it showed. I'm very grateful we chose Tampa Bay Veterinary Specialists.
