Capital Veterinary Specialists, JAX and Animal ER

Our almost 14 year old golden doodle-Honey-had surgery this past Monday for a very large tumor along her left side.Dr. McCarthy (the surgeon) spent ample time with us on the initial pre-op visit, answering all questions. Very kind & super intelligent. Even got on the floor with me and our dog, explaining the surgical plan in details. The morning of surgery arrived and by mid-morning Honey was doing so well that we picked her up at 1 pm the same day. The staff was super kind & caring, explaining all the follow up/post-op care. The staff (Albert) even helped our dog into the car, offering a blanket for Honey to lie on. :) I received caring follow up calls and texts from the staff and the surgeon that evening and the following day. As you can see from the picture(1 day post-op) our girl is doing fantastic. We can’t keep her down. So amazing after such a necessary large incision(s) and tumor removal. I would no hesitate to recommend Dr. McCarthy, Dr. Walker and all the staff of Capital Veterinary specialists. It’s a clinic you can trust for the highest levels of care.

the staff and environment here is incredible. i took my cat here early in the morning for a sudden medical emergency and was seen immediately. throughout the process, every member of staff was happy to answer our questions and explain the process to better educate us on how treatment would proceed. dr. tank and kaleena were both very honest and helpful in choosing options that worked with our budget. we felt we were prioritized appopriately given their obvious workload and felt our baby was in good hands. i will definitely return should we need their services again. thank you again to everyone we spoke with!

Cannot say enough great things about our experience at Capital Vets yesterday ..Our 13 mth old girl Lucky literally fell over and went limp in our backyard … gums completely white and unable to move at all we rushed her to our emergency hospital and to our surprise there was no Doctor there and the Dr wouldn’t be back for another hour to hour and a half.. so we loaded our girl back up and I called Capital explained what happened and they quickly asked her weight, her age , what kind of car we were in , and where exactly on the road we were.. When we arrived they were outside waiting with a gurney … she was immediately placed on it but then another staff member quickly scooped her up and ran her in ! Before I could blink she was surrounded by more staff then I could count and being treated… I was placed in a room where I was constantly updated on her status , kept fully informed on what they were doing , and what costs were going to be … Dr Tank was so very kind and thorough in all of the explanations of treatment and bloodwork results . The staff and care we received was amazing. Thankfully Lucky is just fine today and I attribute that all to Dr Tank and all of the staff at Capital for being so fast to act. Thank you just isnt enough

We brought our 12 year old Malshi to the hospital because she was dehydrated after having dental surgery one week before but it turned out to be a little more than that, she had extremely high blood pressure too! The staff took great care of her and we were able to bring her home after 4 days. I'm not going to say it was cheap by any means, stabilizing her and bringing here home was the priority. As far as we're concerned, it was money well spent.

Our dog had a sudden emergency after hours and our regular vet was closed. We called ahead and they were waiting for us. Our dog was immobile and weighed just over 100 lbs. Moving him on our own was very difficult. When we arrived, the staff came out with a stretcher and strapped him in. They took him right back. From the first phone call, the staff and doctor were very professional and informative. The whole time they kept us up to date about what was going on, options, and what to expect. Their pricing is very high, but probably what you’d expect for after hours emergency care. They have up to date equipment, and a clean facility. Unfortunately, we lost our boy that night. The entire staff was very empathetic and kind as we faced this incredibly difficult time. Due to the type of work they provide, I hope to never need them again. If I do, though, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back for quality emergency care.
