Westchase used to be careful and attentive in the way they cared for our pets. In the past year it has gone downhill. Their solution for starting dental at 2:45 in the afternoon (we dropped the cat off early in the morning) and “not having enough time to finish” was to just do it again. Have us pay again and put our 8 year old cat through surgery and anesthesia again. No big deal for Westchase, right? 

Business response:

Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. Dr. Castro has attempted to contact you several times since the procedure to answer any additional concerns you have, but has not been able to reach you. We understand that anesthetic procedures can be scary for pet owners, and we always seek to do what is in best interest of your pet. As Dr. Castro discussed with you on the day of procedure, when pet's have more advanced dental disease that originally thought, it is occasionally necessary to break up their procedures... read more

We have been bringing our 11 year old Boston Terrier to the Westchase Vet for as long as I can remember. We have been doing 6 month checkups forever and spent tens of thousands of dollars on ailments over the years. At 9 am on Sunday July 19th my wife called to get our dog in to see someone for an emergency and we were told they were all booked up. All booked up? Emergency is in the name of your company. My wife was in tears searching for an alternate veterinarian and after some searching found Blue Pearl across town...... read more

Business response:

We are so sorry for your loss Mr. Gornall. Please trust that we do everything that we possibly can to get every client's animal in to be seen when we can. But when our day is completely full, we sometimes can not admit anything else for fear that we cannot properly take care of your animal or any other clients animals that are in the hospital or being seen by the doctors. We really wish that we didn't have to turn anyone away at anytime. Emergency is in our name as we are open during times when a lot of other vets may be clo... read more

I felt like I was in a used car salesman situation. Ridiculously high fees. 1000 bucks for teeth cleaning. That is crazy. I would recommend going to Banfield health clinic where the teeth cleaning is included with a plan and without a plan 300 bucks. I will never go back there. I never paid more at a vet than at this place. Vaccinations and a exam cost me close to 600 dollars. Ridiculous. If you want to waste your money go here. 

Business response:

We are so sorry James that you had a bad experience at our clinic. After looking at your previous vet records and reading their notes, the skin infection on your pet and ear infection was so bad that they( your other vet) would not treat him. We also presented you with estimate for both the visit for the yearly on both your animals( and yes it was $600 for treating 2 animals not 1- and this was for vaccines, meds, severe skin and severe ear infections plus the cost of senior blood work for your dental) and an estimate for t... read more
