I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Holsworth and his staff. I live in Los Angeles and when my dog, Vinny, broke his leg all of the decent surgeons in the area could not even see him for 3 weeks! Letting my dog sit with a broken leg for 3 weeks was not an option, so I asked the emergency vet facility that treated Vinny (in Ventura) if they could recommend any surgeons and they said they worked with Dr. Holsworth at VetSurg. I was not crazy about driving Vinny to Ventura for surgery, but was desperate and called on a Monday to see how soon they could see him. I was thrilled that they were able to see him on that Wednesday. Not finding an available surgeon in LA, turned out to to be the best thing that happened to my dog. Not only is Dr. Holsworth an extraordinary surgeon, but his entire operation runs like a well oiled machine - with a lot of compassion and detail given to the treatment and care of your pet. Everyone on the staff was so nice and the Office Administrator, Kim, was on top of her game and always made me feel good when I knew I'd have to leave Vinny there. Vinny's surgery was a success and he is on the last phase of his rehab program provided by Dr. Holsworth. You cannot tell by looking at him that his leg was completely broken in April. He runs around and is back to his normal life as an Italian Greyhound. If your pet needs any type of surgery, get the best, and take them Dr. Holsworth at Vet Surg. You will not regret it. read more

I took my tiny chihuahua to be evaluated for hip dislocation. I was so impressed by the kindness and compassion shown to me. Dr Campbell was so kind,knowledgeable and provided all my options. Together we made decision and I will take Pearl back on Tuesday to have her hip repaired. Thank you to all who showed me such kindness in a difficult time! read more

Unprofessional and unwilling to communicate. An owner wanted information about her dog's upcoming and serious surgery and the vet would not respond. After days of no communication (and serious pain for the dog) in her right she opted to take her elsewhere for immediate assistance. In return, the vet finally responded and cancelled OUR dog's surgery (just because it was paid for by the same rescue group) because the other owner decided to take her dog to get immediate assistance for a serious problem? Now I'm glad it was cancelled- wouldn't trust my dog in their hands. read more

Get down to the financials and wonder if your pet really needs it?!. I clearly got scammed after droppping over $4000 and Dr. Campbell has his claim awww I dont own the place. Anyways my pet had a procedure done that was not necessary and gladly did more procedures to try and fix the first one with no true authenticity of taking care of my pet. I would never ever refer or take my pet here ever again. I have had the worst expereince with this place and when the vet makes some shit claim that aww man I dont own the place???? Its not up to me? That is the kind of stuff you are willing to deal with then go for it. I am truly passionate about my animals and if you are as well, please seek out a different place. They dont care about your pet only your pocket. Please do not take your pets here, you will be scammed! Please, please recommend some good places. read more

We had an amazing first visit experience at VetSurg. We brought our 10 month Great Dane puppy in for a specialist assessment for hip dysplasia. The front desk staff was kind and helpful. The technicians were sweet and patient as Roo got adjusted to a new office and the new people around her. Dr Courtney Campbell spent a full hour evaluating Roo, explaining her diagnosis and our options. He was compassionate and informative. Extremely happy to have found this group. read more

This animal hospital is amazing. My dog had a big tumor and Dr Campbell removed it and was able to close large space. And Niki is doing great. The staff is so responsive and caring during a stressful time. read more

Dr Campbell performed surgery on my sweet dogs leg after she tore her acl and now she is running around good as new a few months later

Best Vet ever! Caring and very well educated and highly qualified!!!!! My dog trusted them immediately and I did too

We took our 10.5 yr old golden here for TPLO surgery. So glad we did! It is a few months after the surgery and she is doing great - wagging her tail and her mobility/quality of life is back. Thank you Dr Holsworth and your incredibly caring team read more

Dr. Campbell and staff are amazing at VetSurg. My 3 and 1/2 pit bull tore her ACL and had to get surgery. She is leash aggressive and they were very understanding of that and made sure no dogs were around when we brought her in. They called us before the surgery and after to talk to us in detail how it went and what to expect in the recovery. How important it is to keep her resting as much as possible. Every time I called with a question they had intelligent answers and made me feel at ease about this whole stressful time. I can't thank them enough my baby has 10 more years to her life. So Thank you VetSurg! read more

I have to say my experience at VetSurg with Dr. Campbell was a true godsend! My dog is my whole life and he was in a very serious accident which was one of my biggest nightmares.....he had very complicated injuries to both of his knees that orthopedic surgeons near me did not feel comfortable doing so I was directed to VetSurg. I can't even put into words how thankful I am for Dr Campbell and his team for going above and truly beyond what was needed for Jaxx. Dr Campbell even spent his New Year's eve on a 4+ hour surgery and then took time out of his new year day to personally check in on Jaxx. He took his time to call me after every procedure and explain in depth what was needed and what took place. I cannot say enough good things about him and how truly thankful I am that he took this case. Anyone is lucky to have him care and work on their dog. THANK YOU is not enough. read more

So far, so good. We took our 5-year-old Boxer mix in for a surgical consult and were very impressed. The front office staff was friendly and professional. Dr. Holsworth was great. He took time to explain his diagnosis and exceeded our expectations in answering all of our questions. We were also very impressed that he didn't automatically push for surgery like other vet surgeons in Ventura. He was also extremely good with our dog. read more

STAY AWAY! if you want to burn 10 grand and like to subject your dog to some unnecessary surgery, then this is your clinic. Dr Campbell will tell in a hushed tone how brave you and your dog have been, but all the while he has his eyes on your wallet. DO NOT trust him - the surgery he recommended was not needed at all. he said my dog will never walk normally without it - wrong! just took her on a mountain hike and she did fine. my dog got hit by a car, broke both hind legs and left hind leg also had torn ligament. vetsurg did their super-expensive X-rays ($1,000) and put on a splint, then recommended fusion surgery on the left leg ($8,000). when I asked to wait and see how she will heal on her own, they refused to treat her further. the vet who treated my dog next said that Vetsurg put on a worthless splint (and charged me $300 for it) that was wrong for this kind of trauma. Luckily my dog healed on her own in a few months. I am so glad I listened to my instinct and not to Dr. Campbell. Then I heard from my neighbor that their puppy sprained a leg a couple years ago and they took her to VetSurg. again VetSurg recommended operation and my neighbor, who happens to b a human surgeon, decided to wait. sure enough, their puppy healed up just fine on her own. read more

Have been trusting my dogs to the staff of VetSurg longer than they have been VetSurg. So pleased to have this option in Ventura.

I use the best vet in Bakersfield, Ca Dr. Lohr at Nile Point Veterinary. Rosie my DDB was determined to have hip dysplasia as well as luxating patellas. Dr. Lohr recommended Dr. Holsworth at VetSurg. From the meeting it was great. His staff was extremely profession yet still friendly and comforting. Just what you need when you pet is ill. I was apprehensive having to leave my baby. Once I met everyone I was comfortable and saw the facilities I was relieved. They have a large area waiting room and part is separate and is very comfortable to spend hours in. Which I did. I She had 3d scans, consultations and Dr. Holsworth came back with a plan. We had her surgery it went great all through the process. I could call anytime for questions. I was given a recovery sheets each check up which was very clear and easy to follow. I have scheduled for her left leg surgery and expect just as amazing results. Would I recommend VetSurg to anyone...I already have. This was a life changing surgery for Rosie and my family. Being a puppy and even though she is part of the family I would not let her continue with the pain she was experiencing. It is my responsibility to give her the best quality of life I can. So without Dr. Holsworth and his staff my life would be very different. Thank You, Thank You Rosie & I love all of you Laura M. read more

Dr. Holsworth and VetSurg came highly recommended and, after visiting with my dog (Border Collie), who was limping after a sports injury, I can see why. Dr. Holsworth was fantastic! My dog loved him and felt very comfortable with him during his exam. Dr. Holsworth conducted a thorough exam and he took the time to explain what he was doing and what he was learning. He diagnosed the injury and recommended rest, along with medication, to see if the injury heals without the need for surgery. I am very impressed with Dr. Holsworth and the staff at VetSurg. I will be recommending VetSurg to anyone who needs this type of treatment for their best friend. read more

Dr. Holsworth and his team performed a bilateral stifle arthroscopy and TPLO on our 5 year-old Bernese Mountain Dog. After a comprehensive and descriptive consultation with Dr. Holsworth, we felt that we could trust Dr. Hoslworth and decided to have our dog undergo the surgery on her back legs, and have both done in one surgery. Although the recovery period and requirements were challenging, the staff provided detailed instructions and made themselves available throughout the recovery period. Now, at only 2 months out, our dog is energetic, happy, and most important, pain-free. She is back to being herself with a new lease on life. We are very grateful to Dr. Holsworth - for his deep knowledge and expertise and for the entire team for their compassion and commitment to our fury friends. read more

My wife and I enjoyed our interaction with you and your staff. Look forward to seeing you and your wife at a 1/2 marathon soon. Sammy is looking forward to his followup appointments. read more

Our 4 month old 1/2 Chihuahua fell off a step and broke his left leg this morning. Our vet suggested surgery which could run in the THOUSANDS. We were in the process of moving out of state so the last thing we needed was this. Vetsurg was a last resort but one I'm so glad I took! When we arrived, they were booked solid and were having an employee meeting but were able to squeeze us in. After they took Max back, Dr. Holsworth came out and explained he had a procedure that he does using xray that would not require surgery. I wanted to jump up and hug him. From the procedure to the follow ups, the staff is so kind and friendly and the overall experience was just great. We moved to TX and Dr. Holsworth even gave us a recommendation of a colleague here for our follow ups. I highly recommend! read more

I drove 2 hours to see Dr. Gordon in regards to a broken limp on my cat. Initially I was welcomed with open arms The doctor came in with his medical assistant and were so kind and understanding and caring I was overwhelmed with the warmth I felt from them. Once I got the quote for the surgery which was $6000 by the way I had to decline. My cats bandages needed to be change so they told me to leave and come back in two hours and he would be ready. After that it seem like they threw me in the toilet I ended up being there all day long they had my cat in the back and didn't do anything to him until almost 4:30 PM ..I called them two different times and the The receptionist seemed like she was put out by my phone call. If you have six to $10,000 to spend on your pet they're probably an excellent place to bring your animal. But if not I would recommend that you seek veterinary care at another location. read more

I really will never be able to thank Dr. Holsworth adequately for what he has done for our beloved yellow lab. First, he fixed her back legs so that she was able to walk again. Then, he flat-out saved her life when she developed idiopathic megacolon, a disease that literally had her at death's door. Today, we took our dog to him for evaluation of what had been diagnosed as arthritis, and he told us that her actual diagnosis is sciatica, which is an entirely different issue, necessitating an entirely different approach to treatment. I'm in the medical business, and I can't even imagine having the diverse medical expertise that Dr. Holsworth has-I think it would be like me being a dermatologist, a radiologist, and a cardiac surgeon. I have the utmost respect for him, and I am so very grateful that we found him to help our beloved dog. I will never give anyone better medical advice than I am giving here: if your pet is having problems, see Dr. Holsworth. From my experience, you will never make a better decision concerning your faithful and loving companion. read more
