PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE! PLEASE READ THE OTHER REVIEWS WHERE PET OWNERS HAVE LOST THEIR ANIMALS FOR BRINGING THEM HERE! I was traveling for work from CA and my 3 month old puppy swallowed a plastic cap, I took here to this HORRIBLE place within 15 mintutes from the hotel, the Dr who was VERY CONCERNED ABOUT ME PAYING THEM $2300 UPFRONT! Put her in a “oxygen box” for 5 hours!!!!! Without giving her anything to get the cap out, the cap had been swallowed shortly 15 minutes before I took her there, after I asked what was the oxygen box for? she said my puppy had pulmonary edema and she got gotten that diagnosis from 1 X-ray, I asked them to email the X-ray to my vet in CA and my vet was very confused as to how she could have diagnosed that when it wasn’t showing on the XRay!!!!! This ppl are HORRIBLE all they want is your money they do not care about your animal. After consulting with my vet he recommended I got her out of there and magically they dismiss the payments and charged me $200 that I had payed for the deposit which by the way they asked initially $500. I took her to Emergency Animal Hospital of Crystal Falls shaking as they told me my puppy was going to die if I took her out “oxygen” my puppy made it fine to the hospital where they induce her to vomit the plastic cap and my pup is alive and better. PLEASE DONT TAKE YOUR ANIMAL TO THIS PLACE. THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULD T TAKE X RAYS BECAUSE SHE WASNT LAYIND DOWN MY PUPPY APPEARS PERFECTLY LAYING IN A OXYGEN BOX IN THE PHOTO. ALL THEY WANTED WAS FIR ME TO PAY THEM $2300 in order to make her puke the cap out. This ppl are rats!!!!

NOT HAPPY with this place. I took my dog in as an emergency (I am grateful they were able to look at him right away.) The BAD part is they tried to keep my baby for a few days “his body temperature was low & they wanted to keep an eye on him” for $2000. The money wasn’t the worst part. After pushing back that I wanted to take him home, (primarily because he had advanced kidney disease-and they knew that) because I knew he wasn’t curable, THEN AND ONLY THEN did she (the Dr) admit that the drop in body temperature meant his body was shutting down!! If his body was shutting down, why did they insist on keeping him?? My baby passed away that same afternoon!! Can you imagine if I wouldn’t have pushed back and left him there? My baby would have passed away alone. It was already traumatic enough for me. I cannot even fathom if I would have gotten a call that he passed and I wasn’t there. 😪 It has been a couple of weeks since this took place. I waited to do this review because I didn’t want to act out emotionally. I am a business owner also and looked at it from that point of view. However, After more thought I am BEYOND LIVID that this business put their own needs over that of a client. #1 rule of any ethical business owner, you always put your client needs first. The staff was friendly but overall I feel their business practices are UNETHICAL! Last photos of my baby 👇🏼

I had to rush my 6 year old yorkie/chihuhua mix to the vet yesterday after she was violently vomiting, shaking, and couldn’t walk or stand. The vet assistants were so incredibly sweet and calming. They took really great care of my dog. I explained that I was really tight on money and couldn’t afford to spend much on my dog, but I would be willing to if I absolutely had to. They made sure to give me options of different treatments with varying prices. She needed a lot of attention and they recommended keeping her over night, which was the highest price. I was nervous to take her home, so I left her there. When I came back the next day after being charged the highest amount, they voluntarily refunded me $210 for services that they did not end up having to do. I’ve never once had a vet or doctor refund me like that. I was so appreciative that they were truthful about what they provided and were willing to provide me a refund without me even asking. My dog didn’t seem anxious when I picked her up and is feeling 100% better. Thank you to the team here for helping my baby and being sensitive to my financial limitations.

I called about 7 places to be turned away, my Yorkie was suffering from a seizure and it wouldn't stop. They admitted him right away and started treatment. The staff was so kind despite me balling my eyes out for my baby, the vet was kind enough to hand me tissues, the staff was wonderful. They sent me an updated inpatient photo and kept me updated and they allow pet visits. They were pretty busy but quick. I'd recommend them for pet emergencies. After 24hrs he was released and doing better, still has side effects but that was expected, thank you to the staff.

Dr Kerpsack and his assistant Lee are wonderful. Efficient, effective and caring- a rare combo. My cat had stomach lesions and bladder infections and stones for 2 years. Her surgery with Dr Kerpsack fixed the bladder issues and combined with new meds cleared the stomach lesions completely. She’s active, slimmer, and much happier now. Thank you!

We have been to this location (unfortunately) numerous times with our golden Mumford (8); he had two ACL surgeries, received the most gracious care from staff (on multiple visits) after being attacked by a dog, & most recently he had a meniscal tear surgery. We are so grateful for Dr. Kerpsack & the Central Texas Veterinary Specialty staff, hopeful for pain free days ahead!

Here's the story. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GO, DONT TAKE YOUR PET HERE. Our family pet seemed to be at her end stages. I called around and they said to come in as they had a vet available. Our dog had stopped walking earlier that day so I was concerned for her well-being. When we arrived at the clinic, I again mentioned that I thought we might be looking at end stages of our pets life. She was a 13.5 yr old black lab and due to age and circumstances it didn't seem like it was an injury. Instead of taking a look at her when we arrived, they took her to the back and kept her there for 5hrs. My mother, nephew and myself waited for 5hrs in the waiting room, watching everyone else that arrived after us come and go and have their animals treated. The behavior was COMPLETELY INHUMANE. I went to the desk a handful of times asking when we would talk to the Vet. I mentioned that I didn't want my dog to go through the stress of a strange place without anyone she knew for hours on end. Our loving pet sat alone, immobile, without family for a TOTAL OF 6 HOURS. The Vet finally calls us into a room to tell us it is probably a mass/cancer, and at her age it would be a loss. Six hours our pet sat alone FOR NOTHING. I really wish I would have waited until the morning to take her to a Vet that wouldn't have made her feel that way. Don't go here, it's not worth it. Oh and a bill of $260 for all of us to sit from 6:15pm-12:30am and the resolution be what I suspected, which was putting our pet to sleep, completely and totally inexcusable.

I had an emergency with my greyhound in the middle of the night. I was worried he had bloat, which can become fatal very quickly. The staff was very helpful on the phone and very knowledgeable, friendly and caring when we came in. I have been to the Round Rock location before (the physical therapists there did wonders). It's so reassuring to know I have two great options should an emergency arise again (or if we are in need of physical therapy again). Thank you so much to the staff that took great care of us!

Saved my little cat after he was hit by a car. I brought him in after hours and they took him in immediately for treatment. They were incredible at communicating with me throughout my cats treatment, even between shift changes. The whole staff is responsive and kind and take time to get to know both the pet and the owner. Thank you Dr Adamovich and your team for getting my little guy back to me

My husband accidentally stepped on our puppy while playing in the yard. It was later in the evening and he didn't know what to do and I was out of town. He called me and we found this after hours hospital. As he was driving he received a call that his father had passed away. My sister called ahead and they were kind enough to put him in a private room so he could grieve and make difficult phone calls while they treated our pup. I'm very greatly for the quick care they gave our puppy and the kindness they showed my husband. They kept our puppy overnight to keep a close watch on her head for swelling and she was able to come home the next day. The cost might be a little high but I appreciate that they are open 24/7 and have a well trained staff that are efficient and kind.
