Veterinary Surgical Specialists

I brought my Rescue Rufus here for knee surgery, I found him on the street took him to the Tampa Humane Society for a Chip Scan, they Found the owner and he said that he had relocated him already to a new home and that he couldn’t take care of him. After the stray hold Rufus tested Positive for Heart Worm and had a Torn CCL, The Humane society told me that they could take care of the Heart worm, but the Torn CCL was an expensive procedure that they couldn’t perform in their Hospital, and that they were going to put him to sleep unless I decided to take him and cover the surgery for the CCL. Insurances a don’t cover this kind of surgeries specially if they are pre existing before coverage so it had to be Out of Pocket, After many phone Calls I came across Veterinary Surgical Specialists, they had the most affordable price in town and Me and my family decided to schedule the surgery so we could take Rufus home with us! Dr. Leslie Thomas sat down with me and my wife, explained the procedure and told us that everything was going to be ok, they took great care of him, the whole staff is great from the moment you walk into the office until you leave! Definitely Recommend them! Wouldn’t go anywhere else if I ever need surgical services for my 4 legged kids! ThAnk you to all the staff that took great care of our Rufus!

Dr. Thomas was great! She took the time to answer all my questions and I felt 100% comfortable trusting them with my sweet boy. We are 10 weeks post op and the only issue we have now is explaining to my dog why he can't just run around all crazy off leash. It's great to see him getting back to a typical active dog that wants to run around.

The people take great care of our babies. We've brought two dogs here before, and the staff are always very friendly and forthcoming with knowledge about the procedures for what they do. Had to get a leg surgery on 2 pit bulls and they have been excellent each time. They are a bit far from us in Wesley Chapel but I can't imagine bringing out dogs somewhere else.

My dog Nala had her TPLO surgery here for her torn CCL ligament. The staff was amazing. They were able to get her in sooner than expected for a consultation and had the surgery done within that same week. Dr. Thomas took the time to explain everything they would be doing and once the surgery was done they called me every day to check on her to make sure her recovery was going well. Is it expensive? Yes, but in my opinion it is worth the quality and peace of mind. Nala will need to have this surgery again on her other leg and I will be bringing her back simply because of the quick communication and the fact that the team truly cares about my dog. I couldn’t recommend Vet Surgical enough.
