Business ProfileforGulf Coast Veterinary Specialists, PLLC

*** ****** **** *** ****** and are more interested in profit than your pet. They will try and use emotional blackmail to get an exorbitant amount from you for a guess at a diagnosis or treatment, that may not work. When you have no more money, they will throw your pet out of the door with no continuity of care. An exceptionally rude supposed veterinarian called me while I was at work. I believe she said her name was ********* Anyway, she said that an MRI they supposedly did revealed a herniated diaphragm. That my pet needed surgery and that they would like to do a neurological work up on my pet also. She stated that the procedures would be $7500 and $3500. I had just spent $5000 on everything else up to this point on a $6000 limit credit card. As soon as I told the lady that I couldn't get that much right away, she turned into a vile rude snake. So I was trying to reason with her about how I could get that amount in two months or so. *** **** **** ***** **** ********** "I guess you’re coming to pick her up then?" Anyways, when we came to pick her up, the staff basically handed me her crate and just stood there. I was like, "are there any discharge instructions??" There was no medication, no prescription, no instructions on a receipt, only a sentence where they complained that I didn't have any more money to do a surgery that the pet allegedly needed. Well, a week goes by, I was to see my regular vet the next day, but during the night my pet has another episode, worse than the last. She died. When my vet (she was on vacation, other wise I would not have went to Gulf Coast Vets of Hell) read through my pets case from this horrendous facility, she was appalled at the "do nothing" care she received. She said that $7500 for a diaphragmatic hernia surgery and the $3500 for a neurological exam was both extremely over the top and that the pet needed clot busting medication as a minimum treatment until the surgery could take place, if she even needed surgery.
