We brought our 4 year old golden in with a gun shot. The staff were so nice and kind (that’s why I am okay with the 1 Star) however everything else was just a mess. The doctor came in and told us what needed to be done. She needed $5000 before the surgeon would get in her car to come. So much time was wasted. We told them we would pay anything to fix my daughters SERVICE DOG. We were told to keep the bullet for the investigation. We told several people including the doctor that we had to keep the bullet. I received a call few days later from the surgeon saying that there was a miscommunication and they had lost the bullet. She was then kind enough to offer a $67 refund however (out of the $5000 deposit we made) like they were doing is a favor. I am so frustrated with this place. It’s the only place around us to go in an emergency, I wish we had other options. Read Less

LOL this place is an absolute J O K E. I brought my very healthy kitty here one night after he didn’t look too well because our usual vet clinic isn’t open 24/7. Right off the bat, $100 for basically just having him IN the exam room & $200 for X-rays, so a total of $300 with still NO answers, NO help. I took my baby home immediately, and the next morning we went to our vet @ Country Brook. They immediately saw by checking him out (with NO X-rays) that he just had the kitty COLD. That’s it! He was nowhere near “dying.” Our vet gave him a shot and 2 sets of pills & we were out by no time with a happy kitty & bill being a total of $81. That’s what you call true service. The people at the Lake Ray Hubbard emergency clinic are just ACTORS. Read Less

Long story short, I came into this hospital with a sick parvo puppy and the doctor recommended to “put him down because he didn’t look so good” or to hospitalize him for a week which would cost anywhere from $900-$1,200 per night (according to the vet tech) so I walked out of that clinic and went somewhere else and they never mentioned anything about putting him down. To top it off, a few days after our puppy started getting over the parvo he got bit by a copper head snake. I once again came to this clinic because it’s closest to our house and it was after hours and when I get there they tell me that there were no rooms available and I would have to wait to be seen. Keep in mind, my dog was swelled up and was dying. I once again had to leave and I rushed him to the vca in Irving and they once again stabilized him and now my puppy is recovering from parvo and the snake bite. This all happened in a period of 5 days. I never once thought about putting my dog down but I want others to know that you don’t always have to listen to one doctor. Read Less

I Currently have my baby being cared for by this hospital. The Staff and doctors are both amazing. They really care about your pets and are definitely on top of things in an emergency. I would recommend this vet hospital to anyone that needs emergency care. I have called several times to check on my pup as he is hospitalized and they Are very friendly every time I call. They get on the phone and explain everything to me in detail as to what is going on. Again these people are amazing and really care about animals!

If there was a zero star rating that is what I would be doing. The individuals at this location have literally no beside manner nor any care of animals. A strong drive for profit and desire not to work seems more adequate for this company. I was informed that my dogs needed to be euthanized because it was the right thing to do and I needed to think of the quality of life for them. I was informed that one of my babies would need a great deal of work and it would cost every bit of 15K$ or more and that from a previous incident with another animal it was not likely that my baby would make it through. Now while I get she was injured and having the hind sight I do now the facility could have handled the situation better. There could have been options provided to us other than the two which were give up a large amount of money and we still won't do anything or put her down. Fyi no payment options available either. I can say they literally care nothing about the animal! As for my other baby we were told she would need oral surgery to determine what was occurring but that it was best to put her down. It is strongly felt that decision was brought to us because of her breed which is discriminatory. They were our babies our kids and I wish I would have read the reviews before I had made a decision to even go there much less listen to the incompetent staff. Neither of these animals should have needed to be put down. One had an open wound on the leg which if it couldn't be stitched up amputation could have been an option that we would have taken. The other had what appeared to be small puncture wounds from teeth on her gums and once again could have been handled differently. They just kept saying it could get infected and wasn't worth trying to do. Scare tatics!! Also mind you I don't know anyone who has large amounts of money just lying around! When it came to eithanization they were still harsh... let's charge you a large amount of money for this option too! I just wish I could go back in time these were my kids and they cared nothing about them only there bottom line. Shame on you! Read Less

We won't be going back there again. They wanted $1,000 up front just to even look at our pup. Not including the treatment that would be needed. We paid for What Little Services already rendered and went somewhere else. Even though they were trying to scare tactics that our dog wasn't going to live if we took her somewhere else. We found somebody who not only nursed our dog back to excellent health. But, a 2 night stay, antibiotics, meds, special food required, labs, x-rays, and her IV bags only cost us $460. And they let us pay in 2 segments while we waited on funds to be released. Lake Ray Hubbard vet clinic is a bunch of crooks. They Care solely about money, and not helping animals. Read Less

Took my puppy here the other night after he got some cuts from barb wire(around 2am, long story). I appreciate them being up front with prices. They gave me an estimate, and while it wasn't cheap, everything on there was necessary(I am an RN). Reading the review underneath mine is disappointing to see that she thinks they are all about the money. I did not get that feeling at all while I was there. Just like any business, how would they stay open(24/7 at that) if they did free or discounted services.. AND it's an EMERGENCY room, It's going to cost more. Have you been to a human ER without insurance? Let the ER disappear and see how you feel when you have no where to go with an emergency. Then you will be complaining that they aren't here! These people are here at night when they could be home in bed. Thank you guys for taking care of Biscuit! He(and I) appreciate it! Read Less

The clinic is clean and updated and has experienced vets who obviously know what they are doing. My 2 year old husky was found in the corner of the yard shaking so we rushed him to the clinic. They took us to the exam room and looked at Keno and said that he was obviously anemic and need to pump some fluids through him. After waiting for sometime the doctor came in to tell us what Keno was gonna go through. He then told us the prices which was a minimum of $1,140! We had a hard time thinking of what to do because my family has a hard time of making money, but Keno was part of our family so we went through with it. He stayed at the clinic for another 6 hours, and when they called for pick up, he was a whole other dog. He was responding well again, waging his tail, and his head was up and looking around again. The doctor then told us directions and what to look out for just in case he needs to come back. Im very satisfied with my visit and will come back, only problem is the prices, but if you care enough you would know it's for the best. Read Less

My dog suffered a compound fracture on a Friday night after going to emergency clinic that could only provide pain meds we spent hours on the phone and had vets making calls on our behalf we were told that Lake Ray Hubbard Emg had a surgeon available on call. After hauling our suffering dog 30 minutes away we were helped by a nice and professional vet who did not have expertise to do the surgery and agreed immediate surgery was needed. After saying they called their on call surgeon which I seriously doubt even happened we were told they didn't deem this an emg and for $2k plus they would drug our dog until Tuesday until a specialist was available. Glad to report while sitting in their office we got a surgeon on the phone and sent them medical report and X-rays and our dog was then operated on the same day. The majority of so called emg clinics advertise they are 24x7 however in 99.9% of the cases no surgeon is available from Friday until Monday and they take every calendar holiday off so they will unethically let your dog suffer and play on your emotions for thousands.

The veterinarian and one of the vet techs that were working when I took my lab puppy (1 year old) at 11 pm for a visit were very rude an unprofessional. I took my puppy in because her suture site that she had done 3 days prior to get soayed was bleeding and looked infected. My dog is a rescue dog and she is scared of people she doesn't know or trust, ans obviously terrified of being in a vet. She was shaking and whining in pain. The Te h dragged her back before letting me explain that she is skittish and tries to run if she is scared. They refused to let me help go back with her to leAd her or help calm her down. After hearing whimpering and loud yelps she came running in the front lobby limping ans crying. The dr Sarah Stratmann came out very agruvated and annoyed. She said she refused to treat my puppy bc she was scared she might fear bite her. She also said she wouldn't be able to even look as her suture site and that she believed this dog wil bitee andt kids. This dog has never bitten anyone and loves my kids and I. She is the sweetest most loyal dog I've ever had. She is a 50lbs female lab puppy. The. The dr says to me and I quote "she recommends me thinking about outing her down as she believes her quality of life wouldnt be good if she is scared of strangers" ans that I really need to think about doing this. She obviously has no desire or compassion to help animals and shouls t definitely not be in this profession if you are scared of a shaking, sad, scared puppy. Would she put her kids down if they were scared to go get surgery ans shots at their doctors? Because she did not clean the wounds and assess them ans we had to wait to go back to the normal vet the next morning. The infection has now spread to innER abdominal wall from the outter suture area and requires now major surgery again and lots of meds. I was also charged a full exam fee for no exam at all. The tech was very rude as well. She didn't answer any of my questions and was very short and pushy. I save animals lives I don't kill animals especially ones who have had a rough start to life ans a timid and trying to gain trust of humans. This lady needs to be removed from veterinary EM regency medicone. Thank God she isn't in the real medicile field with children or adults.

I took my chihuahua there Tuesday night after he was mauled by two of my other dogs. They patched up my chihuahua with tape, gave him fluids and an antibiotic shot and told me for further treatment I would need to pay them $2,941.45. After telling them that I couldn't pay this, the vet's demeanor changed and she became curt, discourteous and insulting. My chi has very bad teeth as he is 13 and his teeth haven't been professionally cleaned. I have a hard time having any of my dog's teeth professionally cleaned as I lost one of my most precious chihuahua's during a cleaning. Her name was Willow and she never woke up following the procedure. She was 4. Hazlewood was quick to exclaim that if my chi bit anyone - they would wind up in the hospital because of the bacteria and to ask me if I considered Euthanasia after I told her that I couldn't afford this treatment. I found her to be cold and unsympathetic not unlike Kristen Linsey, the Brenham, TX so-called vet who bragged about killing her neighbor's cat with a bow and arrow and was fired - or Dr. Josef Mengele. I think that this practice is in cahoots with Care Com and is lining their pockets with the money of grieving pet owners. I took my little guy to a wonderful, experienced, compassionate, thorough and professional Sulphur Springs DVM who examined him thoroughly and told me that he will be very sore but will surely recover. The total cost was $49.95 and she cut his toenails for free. He is doing great.Read Less

They don't have the time for your pet, unless its life is danger. All the want is to wait in a room and wait while they are checking your pet in a back room. After of waiting 3 hrs, they told me how much I need it to pay for their services, it was over $100.00 dlls and all they prescribe was, get a load of this, FISH OIL, for an infection my dog had on one of hers paws. The lady vet had a big college degree hanging on of the waiting rooms that is good for nothing. I got very upset because they made me sign a paper before they can even take a look at my dog. In other words, THEY WANT YOUR MONEY AND NOTHING ELSE. beware, before you go to this animal emergency hospital, because all they want is your wallet. never going back to this place. Read Less

We brought our 4 year old golden in with a gun shot. The staff were so nice and kind (that’s why I am okay with the 1 Star) however everything else was just a mess. The doctor came in and told us what needed to be done. She needed $5000 before the surgeon would get in her car to come. So much time was wasted. We told them we would pay anything to fix my daughters SERVICE DOG. We were told to keep the bullet for the investigation. We told several people including the doctor that we had to keep the bullet. I received a call few days later from the surgeon saying that there was a miscommunication and they had lost the bullet. She was then kind enough to offer a $67 refund however (out of the $5000 deposit we made) like they were doing is a favor. I am so frustrated with this place. It’s the only place around us to go in an emergency, I wish we had other options. Read Less

LOL this place is an absolute J O K E. I brought my very healthy kitty here one night after he didn’t look too well because our usual vet clinic isn’t open 24/7. Right off the bat, $100 for basically just having him IN the exam room & $200 for X-rays, so a total of $300 with still NO answers, NO help. I took my baby home immediately, and the next morning we went to our vet @ Country Brook. They immediately saw by checking him out (with NO X-rays) that he just had the kitty COLD. That’s it! He was nowhere near “dying.” Our vet gave him a shot and 2 sets of pills & we were out by no time with a happy kitty & bill being a total of $81. That’s what you call true service. The people at the Lake Ray Hubbard emergency clinic are just ACTORS. Read Less

Long story short, I came into this hospital with a sick parvo puppy and the doctor recommended to “put him down because he didn’t look so good” or to hospitalize him for a week which would cost anywhere from $900-$1,200 per night (according to the vet tech) so I walked out of that clinic and went somewhere else and they never mentioned anything about putting him down. To top it off, a few days after our puppy started getting over the parvo he got bit by a copper head snake. I once again came to this clinic because it’s closest to our house and it was after hours and when I get there they tell me that there were no rooms available and I would have to wait to be seen. Keep in mind, my dog was swelled up and was dying. I once again had to leave and I rushed him to the vca in Irving and they once again stabilized him and now my puppy is recovering from parvo and the snake bite. This all happened in a period of 5 days. I never once thought about putting my dog down but I want others to know that you don’t always have to listen to one doctor. Read Less

If there was a zero star rating that is what I would be doing. The individuals at this location have literally no beside manner nor any care of animals. A strong drive for profit and desire not to work seems more adequate for this company. I was informed that my dogs needed to be euthanized because it was the right thing to do and I needed to think of the quality of life for them. I was informed that one of my babies would need a great deal of work and it would cost every bit of 15K$ or more and that from a previous incident with another animal it was not likely that my baby would make it through. Now while I get she was injured and having the hind sight I do now the facility could have handled the situation better. There could have been options provided to us other than the two which were give up a large amount of money and we still won't do anything or put her down. Fyi no payment options available either. I can say they literally care nothing about the animal! As for my other baby we were told she would need oral surgery to determine what was occurring but that it was best to put her down. It is strongly felt that decision was brought to us because of her breed which is discriminatory. They were our babies our kids and I wish I would have read the reviews before I had made a decision to even go there much less listen to the incompetent staff. Neither of these animals should have needed to be put down. One had an open wound on the leg which if it couldn't be stitched up amputation could have been an option that we would have taken. The other had what appeared to be small puncture wounds from teeth on her gums and once again could have been handled differently. They just kept saying it could get infected and wasn't worth trying to do. Scare tatics!! Also mind you I don't know anyone who has large amounts of money just lying around! When it came to eithanization they were still harsh... let's charge you a large amount of money for this option too! I just wish I could go back in time these were my kids and they cared nothing about them only there bottom line. Shame on you! Read Less

Took my puppy here the other night after he got some cuts from barb wire(around 2am, long story). I appreciate them being up front with prices. They gave me an estimate, and while it wasn't cheap, everything on there was necessary(I am an RN). Reading the review underneath mine is disappointing to see that she thinks they are all about the money. I did not get that feeling at all while I was there. Just like any business, how would they stay open(24/7 at that) if they did free or discounted services.. AND it's an EMERGENCY room, It's going to cost more. Have you been to a human ER without insurance? Let the ER disappear and see how you feel when you have no where to go with an emergency. Then you will be complaining that they aren't here!

He is absolutely wonderful!! He is very thorough and truly cares. I have had several follow up appointments with him and he's the best!! I wish he would see my dog as her regular veterinarian. He is simply amazing!!!! Read Less

The clinic is clean and updated and has experienced vets who obviously know what they are doing. My 2 year old husky was found in the corner of the yard shaking so we rushed him to the clinic. They took us to the exam room and looked at Keno and said that he was obviously anemic and need to pump some fluids through him. After waiting for sometime the doctor came in to tell us what Keno was gonna go through. He then told us the prices which was a minimum of $1,140! We had a hard time thinking of what to do because my family has a hard time of making money, but Keno was part of our family so we went through with it. He stayed at the clinic for another 6 hours, and when they called for pick up, he was a whole other dog. He was responding well again, waging his tail, and his head was up and looking around again. The doctor then told us directions and what to look out for just in case he needs to come back. Im very satisfied with my visit and will come back, only problem is the prices, but if you care enough you would know it's for the best. Read Less

My dog suffered a compound fracture on a Friday night after going to emergency clinic that could only provide pain meds we spent hours on the phone and had vets making calls on our behalf we were told that Lake Ray Hubbard Emg had a surgeon available on call. After hauling our suffering dog 30 minutes away we were helped by a nice and professional vet who did not have expertise to do the surgery and agreed immediate surgery was needed. After saying they called their on call surgeon which I seriously doubt even happened we were told they didn't deem this an emg and for $2k plus they would drug our dog until Tuesday until a specialist was available. Glad to report while sitting in their office we got a surgeon on the phone and sent them medical report and X-rays and our dog was then operated on the same day. The majority of so called emg clinics advertise they are 24x7 however in 99.9% of the cases no surgeon is available from Friday until Monday and they take every calendar holiday off so they will unethically let your dog suffer and play on your emotions for thousands.

The veterinarian and one of the vet techs that were working when I took my lab puppy (1 year old) at 11 pm for a visit were very rude an unprofessional. I took my puppy in because her suture site that she had done 3 days prior to get soayed was bleeding and looked infected. My dog is a rescue dog and she is scared of people she doesn't know or trust, ans obviously terrified of being in a vet. She was shaking and whining in pain. The Te h dragged her back before letting me explain that she is skittish and tries to run if she is scared. They refused to let me help go back with her to leAd her or help calm her down. After hearing whimpering and loud yelps she came running in the front lobby limping ans crying. The dr Sarah Stratmann came out very agruvated and annoyed. She said she refused to treat my puppy bc she was scared she might fear bite her. She also said she wouldn't be able to even look as her suture site and that she believed this dog wil bitee andt kids. This dog has never bitten anyone and loves my kids and I. She is the sweetest most loyal dog I've ever had. She is a 50lbs female lab puppy. The. The dr says to me and I quote "she recommends me thinking about outing her down as she believes her quality of life wouldnt be good if she is scared of strangers" ans that I really need to think about doing this. She obviously has no desire or compassion to help animals and shouls t definitely not be in this profession if you are scared of a shaking, sad, scared puppy. Would she put her kids down if they were scared to go get surgery ans shots at their doctors? Because she did not clean the wounds and assess them ans we had to wait to go back to the normal vet the next morning. The infection has now spread to innER abdominal wall from the outter suture area and requires now major surgery again and lots of meds. I was also charged a full exam fee for no exam at all. The tech was very rude as well. She didn't answer any of my questions and was very short and pushy. I save animals lives I don't kill animals especially ones who have had a rough start to life ans a timid and trying to gain trust of humans. This lady needs to be removed from veterinary EM regency medicone. Thank God she isn't in the real medicile field with children or adults. How scary to have someone with no bed side mannir OR any ethics! Go somehwee else do NOt take your dog here. Read Less

I took my chihuahua there Tuesday night after he was mauled by two of my other dogs. They patched up my chihuahua with tape, gave him fluids and an antibiotic shot and told me for further treatment I would need to pay them $2,941.45. After telling them that I couldn't pay this, the vet's demeanor changed and she became curt, discourteous and insulting. My chi has very bad teeth as he is 13 and his teeth haven't been professionally cleaned. I have a hard time having any of my dog's teeth professionally cleaned as I lost one of my most precious chihuahua's during a cleaning. Her name was Willow and she never woke up following the procedure. She was 4. Hazlewood was quick to exclaim that if my chi bit anyone - they would wind up in the hospital because of the bacteria and to ask me if I considered Euthanasia after I told her that I couldn't afford this treatment. I found her to be cold and unsympathetic not unlike Kristen Linsey, the Brenham, TX so-called vet who bragged about killing her neighbor's cat with a bow and arrow and was fired - or Dr. Josef Mengele. I think that this practice is in cahoots with Care Com and is lining their pockets with the money of grieving pet owners. I took my little guy to a wonderful, experienced, compassionate, thorough and professional Sulphur Springs DVM who examined him thoroughly and told me that he will be very sore but will surely recover. The total cost was $49.95 and she cut his toenails for free. He is doing great.Read Less

They don't have the time for your pet, unless its life is danger. All the want is to wait in a room and wait while they are checking your pet in a back room. After of waiting 3 hrs, they told me how much I need it to pay for their services, it was over $100.00 dlls and all they prescribe was, get a load of this, FISH OIL, for an infection my dog had on one of hers paws. The lady vet had a big college degree hanging on of the waiting rooms that is good for nothing. I got very upset because they made me sign a paper before they can even take a look at my dog. In other words, THEY WANT YOUR MONEY AND NOTHING ELSE. beware, before you go to this animal emergency hospital, because all they want is your wallet. never going back to this place. Read Less
