One of the doctors was very condescending, talked long enough to draw out the visit to unnecessary proportions and was wrong about his diagnoses after getting 2 other separate opinions. The doc said that my dog didn't need medications and then went on to prescribe over $200 worth of medication. This place was simply not for me and I hope you have a better experience than I did.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOGS HERE PLEASE. I TOOK MY BABY IN TODAY BECAUSE SHE HAD PROBLEM IN HER LABOR AND THE PUPPY CAMW OUT DEAD BUT HIS HEAD WAS STILL INSIDE. AT FIRST THEY WERE GOING TO REMOVE HIM AND INSTEAD OF DOING PROPERLY THEY CUT HIS BODY OFF AND LEFT THE HEAD INSIDE IT SUPPOSEDLY TEARED BUT IT WAS CUT OFF. THEN HIS NEXT STEPS WERE TO TAKE AN XRAY AND INJECT TGE OXYTICIN TO PROVOKE HER LABOR. THE WAY HE DID IT WAS INHUMANE IT WAS HORRIBLE WHAT MY BABY HAD TO SUFFER JUST FOR HIM TO KEEP CHARING. BY CUTTING THE PUPPIES BODY IT RELEASED BAD TOXINS WHICH SHE CONTRACTED TO HER BLOOD STREAM. THEN AFTER KNOWING WHAT HE DID HE STILL KEPT TAKING HIS STEPS TO HAVE CSECTION. I PAID WHAT I OWED BUT AFTER THEY RELEASED HER TO ME I TOOK HER TO ANOTHER VET AND THEY WERE DISGUSTED BY THE WAY HE DID THE PROCEDURE TO THE WAY HE TORTURED HER. ATFER HE REMOVED THE PUPPYS HEAD MY BABY WAS VERY ILL ALL THE TOXINS WERE INJESTED TO HER BLOOD AND IT WAS TO LATE FOR HER. WE GOT TO GET OUR GOODBYES TO HER AND PASSED AWAY. I LOST MY BEST FRIEND MY DAUGHTER MY HAPPINESS TO A VETENERIAN WHO ONLY CARED ABOUT GETTING PAID. I AM ABSOLUTELY BROKEN INSIDE AND I WILL BE PROCEEDING A LAWSUIT TO THIS VETENARIAN CLINIC. Read Less

I'm sure these vets know what they're talking about. But I couldn't shake the feeling that they were just trying to sell me stuff. Several "quotes" were thrown in my face and I felt pressured to make decisions without hardly any input from the vet. The vet was not invested in making sure I knew what was best for my pet. He just cared about how many medicines and procedures he could possibly sell. This vet may be cheaper than others but the whole procedure of the visit really put me off. They made me feel guilty for not being able to pay for every treatment they offered, and seemed judgemental about the way I care for my pet. Will try another vet next time Read Less

My family has brought our pets to Brownsville Veterinary Hospital for about 50 years. Wonderful caring doctors and staff. Experienced nothing but best treatment for our pets in routine and emergency cases. And of course we have had to put pets down on occasion but everyone was very compassionate and gave us all the time we needed to say good bye. Read Less

These folks are terrific! My Yorkie got sick &, since they see patients on a walk-in basis, they were able to see him right away.  They gave me different options at different price points of what could be done to find out what was wrong and treat him.  Dr Gomez obviously cares for animals and the techs were really nice.  My dog got sick in the waiting room - I was fully prepared to clean it up, but they took care of it. The only thing I would say that's not 100% positive is that they move at RGV speed - we went in at 9 am & didn't get out of there until 11:40, but that was a minor inconvenience.All in all, the folks were kind, my dog was treated well and a tech even called this morning (a Saturday morning!) to check on how he is feeling.  I appreciated that so much!

Horrible! No animal compassion! Don't waste your money in this place. They only want your money. How sad to see places and people like that operating. A bunch of thieves as well. Told us we would be charged $160 for an evaluation because it was an emergency for our poor dog who was attacked by another dog and when it was time to pay they told us it was $200! So wrong and disgraceful place. I should of called the police! Read Less

Its hard to find a vet that really cares for the animals and has bedside manners in Brownsville. This one has both. My cat was sneezing and they squeezed her in last minute that same day. They were very polite, professional, their clinic was clean, and did their best to make my cat feel comfortable. They didn't pick my cat up by the back of her neck (thank goodness), but used a towel to help restrain her when they took her temperature and gave her a shot of antibiotics. The staff even talked to her while he was doing this and told her, " I'm sorry" several times and said, "I would hate it if someone stuck a thermometer up my butt too." The vet came in with a joke and was very careful with my cat. My cat was very cooperative but even when she struggled a bit (due to getting he shot) he only complimented her. Wonderful place! I have to say something about the other review on here because it upset me so much. The one that gave one star to the vet who was trying to give your pet a pain killer because it ate poison. Honestly the review only makes you look bad. Your animal was in excruciating pain, on their death bed, and you didn't want them to pass peacefully? You'd rather their last moments here be in pain? Wow. My friend took her cat to the vet, who was in pain, and he got a shot for pain and it was $50 tops. The vet was trying to show you that your pet could pass peacefully for a $50 shot. If my cat was in pain, even if it was her last breaths, I would insist they give her the pain medicine. Her comfort means more to me than $50 and I barely make enough money to pay rent.Read Less

Really nice vet techs and Dr Gomez was really nice, informative and attentive to us and our dog. I took my Lucy (dachshund) in to be seen regarding her allergies and skin infection. I was nicely surprised to hear they had a brand new medication for dogs with skin allergies in stock! It's called apoquel and I'm hoping for good results with my dog. It was only 43 dollars to be seen by a vet which is a little less than what I was paying when we lived in north Texas. They don't take appointments which I was surprised by but we walked in around 11 am and were seen within 30 minutes and we didn't have to wait long. Overall it took us about an hour to get in and out. Read Less
