Carolina Veterinary Specialists

My son took my cat to Carolina Vet on a Saturday because I had to work. I had a referal from my regular vet for a ultrasound. They called and said no ultrasounds on the weekends. Also they took x-​rays and did blood work without consulting with my regular vet. On the referal paper it stated that they would consult with your vet. My vet had just taken x-​rays and blood work. Long story short they charged me $ 1000.00 for a 2 night stay and then called on Monday and said my cat died. I asked for the Dr. to call me but she hasn’t yet. I am so upset. Don’t bring your cat here. I wish I had kept her at home. I would not give any stars if it was a option.

Literally saved my dog’s life. He came down with a scary bout of HGE after we moved here (I’ll save you the gross and scary details). After a frustrating and financially draining night at the emergency vet, they took such good care of him and made sure I didn’t drop another ridiculous stack of money. I’m forever grateful that I still have my furry friend.

Nice staff, took my dog here for an emergency, was pricey but hey its an emergency vet. They did test they found necessary and sent records to my primary vet. Now I know that things could look calm in the waiting room and be crazy in the back but the wait was very long. For blood work and a fecal test it took over 4 hrs :(The care provided to my dog was good though and staff was friendly, Vet explained all test and why they were necessary.

They have a monopoly on after hour emergencies. Their prices reflect that: $ 70 for three pairs of rubber gloves and three sterile syringes. That is unconscionable in my opinion. They overshot their last quote by $ 200 (25%) without any surgical complications. Don’t bring your animal here after hours for anything that requires daily vet experience (e.g. dermatological issues, chronic illness) as their experience and knowledge seems to be limited to emergency medicine.. and they still charge about $ 85 to say «I don’t know — you need a regular vet to look at that. » the staff turns over quickly, presumably bc their consciences don’t let them rob the public. The last surgery my dog had, this job was very shotty and came undone.

I have had my dog there 2 times out of necessity. No other vets are open after hours. Both times the vets never diagnosed the problem. The last time they charged me 25 $ for cleaning out a wound, but then came back to say they couldn’t do it but conveniently charged me in another area. X-​rays are way over priced, but they know they have you by the balls. If you want to keep your pet healthy… There are no other choices really. I don’t feel they genuinely care at this place. My experiences are solely around their emergency care. If you had another option, Use it or they will break you and could go home without any answers.

My cat had gotten her tail stuck in a window at my apartment complex in September of 2013. I took her here. They had told me everything was going to cost roughly $ 400. I was obviously willing to do whatever to make sure my cat was okay. After being denied one of their pet care credit cards I bawled. The doctor who had been speaking with me about my cat asked what price range I’d be comfortable with. (TJ) I believe I tell him $ 300. After working out some things, including surgery and medication, everythinf was right under $ 300. When I had questions about medication I called and they were so friendly. I was very lucky my cat didn’t break anything. Now, her tail is 100% back to normal. I wrote TJ a thank you letter. These guys really care about their clients.

Good spot in time of need. All night emergency vet services. Just moved here a month ago (haven’t found a vet yet) and these professionals took care of my pooch when he got into my trail mix and ate some raisins. Very pleased (and a happy healthy doggie).

My dog was diagnosed with a possible liver shunt vs. liver disease and referred here for an ultrasound. Not only are their prices outrageous, but they charged me for an internal medicine consult and then a surgery consult. Working in the medical profession, it was known the surgical consult would be needed and the medicine consult should have just been skipped. When my FEMALE dog arrived for surgery, the girl that spoke with me identified herself as the surgeon’s «nurse,» and kept calling her «he.» I felt like my dog was going through an assembly line. When the surgeon called to tell me the results of the surgery (which I must give credit where credit is due, it was in a timely manner) he sounded like he was reading from a textbook and had showed no compassion when he delivered the bad news that my 4 year old dog has end stage liver disease. Dr. Doroscher, the Medicine vet is excellent. She is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. But, if your dog needs surgery, I would look elsewhere.

I thought my cat was dead when I discovered her lying in the floor. Turns out she was in a diabetic coma. She barely had a heartbeat when I brought her here. That was over a year ago and she’s still going strong.
After he looked at the records, my vet said he had no idea how they managed to save her — she was just that far gone.
They are kind, compassionate, gifted vets.

This is a 24 hour emergency hospital for animals. They started with a practice in Greensboro and expanded to Winston Salem. Yesterday we had our first experience with them. Very professional, attentive and moderately priced. The waiting room is just like any other ER waiting room — busy and packed at all hours.
How they work is like this, they get your pet out of whatever crisis they are in, then work with your regular vet for a follow-​up.
This vet is equipped with everything, including a MRI machine.
Highly recommended.
