Our baby boy who we lost 9/13/23 after VERY poor care at TVRH.

0 out of 5 stars if possible. My recommendation: go elsewhere. I'll never trust this practice with any of my pets. I'd drive past this practice on my way to another practice to get quality care. Blue Pearl in Durham has limited hours but offers better, more personal, quality care and they have offices in Raleigh and Cary that are open 24/7. On Wednesday, we had to put our Chase down the day after he was discharged from here. In 2016, we had to put our Dottie down the day after she was refused care by this practice. We said we'd never go near this practice again but they were recommended because of the neurologist on staff so we gave them another chance but never again. Chase was seen twice at TVRH this week and both times, we were told he was ok to go home. Within 24 hours of his first visit at TVRH he was back after referral by a vet at VEG in Cary (who had previously worked at TVRH). When we arrived at TVRH, we waited for over 30 min with a sick dog even with a direct referral. When the tech finally came out, she apologized and said they had several emergent cases they were trying to take care of. I unknowingly rolled my eyes and the tech had the audacity to say "not that he's not an emergency, I saw you ROLL YOUR EYES, but we can actually do something for the other animals". This is the LAST thing anyone wants to hear. My sick dog was not their priority and they felt they couldn't do anything for him because their job was to watch him until the neurologist could evaluate him. An hour after they had taken him to triage, we were still waiting with no news. During this time, we were left listening to the receptionists complain; they rolled their eyes, complained about callers, and gossiped about cases all within ear shot. We had to ask for an update and once put in a room we waited another 30 min to talk to the overnight vet (we'd been there for over 2 hours at this point). Our conversation with the overnight vet (Dr Goodman) felt extremely rushed, she told us they would monitor him and keep him comfortable and the neurologist would be in in the morning. When we asked about prophylactic care (based on experience with a bloodline relative of his with similar symptoms) and questioned need for MRI and spinal tap, the she said she was just a "ding-dong ER vet" compared to the "smarty-pants neurologist". Chase stayed overnight and we were told we'd receive an update early Tuesday morning, but by that afternoon we hadn't heard anything and called for an update. They put us on hold for several minutes while trying to locate Chase and eventually came back to say he was getting his MRI. Later we heard from the neurologist who had unconclusive news and said he could come home later or the next day. Tuesday evening, we went to pick up Chase. The tech went over the discharge papers, not only was the chief complaint wrong but also the discharge condition which said he was in good spirits and eating/drinking well. Chase was clearly far from that. He was still very drugged and not eating or drinking. They also mentioned giving him a medication we didn't have a prescription for. The tech went back to confirm the instructions with the neurologist (Dr Warren) who was in a procedure and we were told the discharge instructions still had not been finalized but we could take Chase home. Wednesday, we contacted TVRH several times regarding his actual discharge instructions (to no avail) and increased neurological symptoms. We were told if the nystagmus was a concern, we would hear back from them, which we never did. Chase began showing signs of difficulty breathing and jaundice. We didn't want him to suffer any longer and took him to Blue Pearl to get another opinion. They greeted us with empathy, kindness, and a caring attitude. In the end, we unfortunately had to let Chase go, he was too sick and we didn't want him to suffer any longer. We trusted them and it will always be our biggest regret. If you care for your pet, PLEASE take them somewhere else. If they question any of this, their security footage can confirm it all.

Thank u Triangle Veteninary Referral Team!!!

God works miracles through this hospital! My 6yr old Chihauhau Rio was admitted yesterday with severe stomach issues (he looked near death really) and from the very first call and throughout his treatment up to when he was released today, EVERY MEMBER OF THEIR TEAM made us feel like he was their only focus even though they had many other patients at the time. All of their staff took the time to THOROUGLY Explain every step of the process, update us on his progress an answered all of our MANY questions Patiently and knowledgeably and we are FOREVER GRATEFUL to them for Bringing our puppy back to health! Highly recommended if you want peace of mind in knowing your pet is getting the ABSOLUTE BEST of care!! Our family thanks your Team so much and Rio thanks you especially!!

It is with a heavy heart that I leave this review. I had to unexpectedly put my 13 year old cat to sleep on a rainy Friday in December. She was my first pet as an adult and so this was the first time I've ever had to make this awful decision. The staff here were incredibly professional and caring. The vet fully explained her findings, and as we discussed treatment options, it became clear the most humane thing I could do would be to say goodbye to my best friend of 13 years. The staff gave me all the time I needed with her to say goodbye. I didn't feel rushed and the system they have set up worked well (they give you a bell to ring when you're ready to start the euthanasia process.) I was heartbroken and sobbing and everyone was so kind to me. I came back today to pick up my girl's ashes and paw print. In the meantime, I'd received a card from TVRH, with handwritten messages from the staff saying how sorry they were. Never having euthanized a pet before, I didn't know what to expect, but the paw print is wonderful and the wooden box my girl's ashes came home in is beautiful. Thank you for treating both myself and Pandora with love and respect on one of the worst days of my life. I won't hesitate to bring a pet back in case of an emergency.

Nunez did a great job of explaining all the options to me and what to expect from each one (as well as the cost).

Cornwallis Road Animal Hospital - My cat in a box.....always playing!

Cornwallis Road Animal Hospital

We have been going to Cornwallis Road Vet Hospital for about 4 years now - for our cat and three…read moredogs. The vets are incredible and we have seen them all over the years! The front desk staff (hat tip to Casey and Alexis who have been around for a long time) are always so helpful. Their online messaging platform is easy to use and they are very prompt. Dr. Tam and Dr. Mhoon took great care for our eldest pup who recently crossed the rainbow bridge - they went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable and happy and went above and beyond - more than I would expect any vet to. Dr. Mhoon is an incredible acupuncturist as well with an incredible holistic approach to care. Dr. Jeffer sometimes attends to our hound mix, and he is so patient, kind, and talented. I can't write home enough about them, and I refer anyone with pets to come here. They really do care about the client and the pet and will take their time with you; I have never ever felt rushed or pressured. I've also never had surprise or inflated prices/costs from them, and they always explain costs and options. I am so so thankful for them!!

We love Dr. Jeffer…read more We already knew we loved Dr. Jeffer and all of the lovely people at Cornwallis Rd Animal Hospital. We have a blue heeler, a yorkie, and a cat that have all seen him for 3 years now. This year we unfortunately inherited two more cats after the sudden passing of a family member. Unfortunately, we had no vet records, and two 16 and 17 year old cats that were in a home without food and water alone for several days. We had an appointment pre scheduled for our cats annual visit and CRAH worked with us to move dates around to take the most needy cat (pictured) in first. She had "the worst nails [they've] ever seen" with toes that were infected from the nails growing into them. She was very skinny and was drinking so much water we knew she had some illness and were prepared for the worst. Dr. Jeffer was able to collect blood and analyze it on the spot so we could come up with a treatment plan (or end her suffering if needed). Luckily; she is in early stages of kidney disease and just needs to be fattened up. We love our Bella and are so glad for the care and attention she received. Dr. Jeffer is so kind,'patient, and takes his time with every one of his patients. We wouldn't trade him for the world!

I've trusted this hospital before with my dog's vaccinations and check-ups, but this visit turned out to be one of the scariest moments of my life as a pet parent. That day, I learned my cat needed emergency surgery to survive. My heart sank. I was overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty, but the staff immediately surrounded me with empathy, clarity, and compassion. They took the time to explain every option, walked me through the treatment plan and costs, and most importantly--they made me feel like I wasn't alone in this. Dr. Grief was a true blessing. She not only cared for my cat with incredible skill, but she also cared for me--checking in, offering reassurance, and giving me strength when I felt completely powerless. Every single staff member I encountered was kind, understanding, and uplifting in a way I'll never forget. Because of them, my cat got the lifesaving care she desperately needed, and I gained an even deeper appreciation for this hospital. If you're searching for a place that will treat your pets like their own, and treat you like family in the hardest moments--Southpoint Animal Hospital is the place. They didn't just save my cat's life, they gave me peace when I needed it most.
