Wesley Chapel Veterinary Hospital

I very much disagree with the previous reviews. I have been using Wesley Chapel Veterinary Hospital for over 10 years with my multiple dogs. All of them always received the best care, especially for difficult conditions such as cushings disease, severe allergies, and eye problems that needed to be treated on an ongoing basis. My german shephard had a torn ligament and needed ACL reconstruction surgery. I was very happy to see her walking normally after her healing and recovery time. My poodle had surgery to have a tumor removed around his eye and my other big dog was neutered. Dr Lucado is an excellent surgeon, minimal scarring and to this day the scars are barely visible. The staff was always welcoming and caring and Dr. Lucado was available to explain the procedures to me in great detail. My dogs have their yearly dental cleanings and vaccinations done there and I will be using Wesley Chapel Veterinary Hospital as long as I have my animals

Stay away from this vet, my cat came home in worse condition than when she went in. After not happy with the treatment from this place I decided to go back to pebble creek animal hospital where she was first diagnosed. They told me she didn’t need two of the three medications they had me giving to my cat on top of the fact that the procedure that was performed looked out of date. Needless to say they may be cheaper than most and you definitely get what you pay for, mediocre procedures and subpar office staff. I deeply regret not paying the higher price of the first hospital. In my heart I honestly believe the outcome would have been a better one for both my cat and me.

Ugh. I just don’t know what to say about this place. I’ll give them two stars because they help animals. If I was basing it off my experience I’d give them one.
This was the most unpleasant vet visit I’ve ever had. I brought my cat in for bloodwork and they didn’t even have the courtesy to take me into a room and have the doctor explain what he was looking for, nothing. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even see the doctor. Gretel the vet tech took my cat to the back to draw her blood and left me in the waiting room.
When she came back out with Ripley she said «you’re free to go» and when I asked her exactly what tests they were going to run she said «I don’t know, I don’t know everything.» She then told me, after I asked, that I could expect a call with results that evening or first thing in the morning.
So around 2pm today I still hadn’t heard anything. Mind you, they’re testing her for a incurable fatal disease… you’d think they’d have some sense of urgency. But no. So I called them. Someone finally answered on the third try.
When I got the ever-​pleasant Gretel on the phone, she informed me that the doctor was in surgery, that he’d call me when he was finished, and that she «peeked at the bloodwork and it looked okay, but I don’t know. I’m not a doctor. I don’t know everything» ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW? If nothing else, they should have called and told me that the vet was in surgery and I’d get the results later than expected. But again, they obviously have no sense of common courtesy.
Around 3:30 Gretel called me back with the results. Does this veterinarian actually even exist? I couldn’t tell you because he neither had the care nor courtesy to ever see me or speak to me.
Needless to say, I do not recommend them and I will never be back.
