BluePearl Pet Surgery - Tampa, Florida

I would like to thank everyone who helped me during a difficult time when my little dog broke his leg in two places. My baby broke his little leg on Saturday, and after visiting the emergency clinic, we were told that surgery was necessary. I called the clinic on Monday, and by Tuesday, they had already scheduled his surgery.

He had a complex fracture, and given his very small weight of only 3.5 pounds, I’m not sure how the doctors managed such a difficult surgery. Everyone, from the receptionist to the surgeon, was incredibly kind and compassionate. They explained the entire process to me, and I was even able to call at night to check on my furry baby. Thank you so much for your professionalism and for acting so quickly. I cannot thank you enough!

With gratitude,
Julia and Phoenix

I brought my Rescue Rufus here for knee surgery, I found him on the street took him to the Tampa Humane Society for a Chip Scan, they Found the owner and he said that he had relocated him already to a new home and that he couldn’t take care of him. After the stray hold Rufus tested Positive for Heart Worm and had a Torn CCL, The Humane society told me that they could take care of the Heart worm, but the Torn CCL was an expensive procedure that they couldn’t perform in their Hospital, and that they were going to put him to sleep unless I decided to take him and cover the surgery for the CCL. Insurances a don’t cover this kind of surgeries specially if they are pre existing before coverage so it had to be Out of Pocket, After many phone Calls I came across Veterinary Surgical Specialists, they had the most affordable price in town and Me and my family decided to schedule the surgery so we could take Rufus home with us! Dr. Leslie Thomas sat down with me and my wife, explained the procedure and told us that everything was going to be ok, they took great care of him, the whole staff is great from the moment you walk into the office until you leave! Definitely Recommend them! Wouldn’t go anywhere else if I ever need surgical services for my 4 legged kids! ThAnk you to all the staff that took great care of our Rufus!

Cannot recommend VSS enough. I had no idea what to do when my Ellie came up limping on a walk. She had a torn CCL. I was referred to them by Veg emergency vet and they got her in asap for consultation and then surgery. They were very caring and informative. Ellie is doing amazing after her surgery. She is better then ever now running, playing and jumping. Highly recommend VSS. Photo attached of 1 day post op and 12 weeks later.

Thank you to Dr. Hay and his staff at Veterinarian Surgery Specialist that took such good care of Sarah during her surgery and overnight stay. She is now home recovering and we are keeping her comfortable. The staff are so professional and detailed and I definitely would highly recommend them to everyone I know who has a furr baby.

Dr. Hay was knowledgeable, professional, and kind! He performed surgery on both of Luna's (mini Golden Doodle) knees for Luxating Patella. We went in with Luna having to drag herself by her front legs. We left after 2 surgeries with Luna running! Would recommend him to anyone! He was such a great surgeon and showed concern and care that was unmatched by other vets we had visited. Wish I could post a video showing Luna running and playing again!

Our dog hurt her knee and required surgery to heal. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process.

While knee surgery is never inexpensive, the piece was reasonable and included all follow up appointments.

Our dog is happy and healing. Each follow up, the staff has been prompt and made the appointments easy.

I would recommend anyone needing surgical options for their animals to consider them.
