They don't even deserve one star....All they care about is the money. Show no compassion. They take advantage of pet owners desperate situation and the love people have for their pets .I've had multiple experiences there and all have been the same. Horrible.

We recently went to Southwest Florida Veterinary Specialist based on a semi-emergency concern. The intake person seemed confused and untrained. The vet herself seemed inexperienced and distracted. We felt this facility was close and convenient, however the level of care and professionalism was lacking. We took our canine to another emergency vet and received the the proper care needed. We feel this facility was mainly financially driven and would never recommend this location for any pet owner needing unscheduled care.

They only care about money!!! Our dog had internal bleeding from a ruptured spleen and they wouldn't even touch him until we prepaid for the visit! He ended up needing emergency surgery and we couldn't transport him for fear of not making it, so we did the surgery with him. They do not care about helping animals at all! They just care about their money! So sad and wrong that people who go into a field to help just care about how much they will get.

Great medical care of our dog Kodi who was very, very ill with hemorraghic gastroenteritis, took him right away and saved his life! All the staff were kind and helpful too!

I came across Mrs Kimberly Louis when she appeared as a guest on a Forex Podcast in USA. I was listening to and was very impressed with her straight forward approach and the principles of her trading strategy. My heart then told me to invest $1000 with her company as a trial. I was able to withdraw a profit of $12,600 after 7 days. Mrs Kimberly Louis make this possible, do well and reach out to her for a secure investment too. Email:

Our pup got a hold of a Kane Toad, he started foaming at the mouth. We called at 8pm on a Saturday, and they said bring him in immediately. I probably broke about 12 traffic laws getting there, and the vet tech was waiting for us at the door. As soon as I opened the rear door she grabbed my 70 pound baby and rushed him to the back. The doctor came out and was straight up with us and said there is a chance he might not make it. They updated us and said we can call any time throughout the night to check on his condition. With there expertise and love he pulled through! Definitely put this vet hospital on speed dial for your furry loved ones.

The staff and Doctor's we're very professional and so compassionate with my 16 year old Toy Poodle, Maggie. I received detailed information about her condition and treatment. The doctor's called me regularly while Maggie was hospitalized and the staff made sure to let me know I could call and check on her at any time, which I did. I definitely recommend SWFlorida Veterinary Specialists!

Worst place to take your pet, they only care about money, no compassion. I paid 2,000 a day for my dog, he was there for three days and only they were talking about to put him to sleep, since the first moment they saw him. After I took him to another veterinarian and my Cookie is perfect fine, playing and enjoying life. I don’t want to think that they almost kill my baby. NEVER TAKE YOUR PET THERE, HORRIBLE

I took my puppy in through their ER for wheezing and they were prompt and caring! They quickly took my puppy and started helping him as soon as we walked through the doors. The girls up front were very helpful!! The doctors called several times while he was admitted in their care to keep me posted! It was overall great care and communication!!

This place should be closed. They lack the proper staffing to run an emergency vet. My dog died their because they lacked a proper cardiologist. And the doctor on staff lied. They wouldn’t let me back with my dog then told me my dog died due to anxiety. These people don’t really care about your dog. They care about money. Beware. Take your dog somewhere else.

Very grateful I just read these reviews and one of them recommended Florida vet referral center 24 hour care. I also had a horrible experience with this emergency vet the staff was extremely rude. No way would I ever go back to this vet. Next time my pet has a emergency I will go to Florida vet Referral in Estero Thanks Kane for your recommendation!

My dog had surgery there to remove a tumor from his liver . I cannot sing the staff’s accolades enough! They are all incredibly professional, thorough and kind. Special thanks to Dr. Potanas, Dr Wenzl, and Andrea. These folks are too notch!

Last week our dog Bentley was dying and on his death bed from being poisoned. We live right by Southwest Florida Veterinary Specialists and called our regular vet which recommended we go to an emergency vet immediately. We got in the car and drove straight to Southwest Florida Veterinary Specialists after calling and let them know we were on the way. Once we arrived (nobody is allowed inside) and had to remain in our car even though we are fully vaxxed, we called as we saw nobody for 15 minutes come in or out, we called and let them know how sick our animal was several times. We were told it would be at least 2 hours as there were several sick animals in front of us in line. As our dog lay dying in our car and after several phone calls explaining the situation we left to go to Florida Veterinary Referral Center in Estero where they immediately took our dog back as they understood the situation was dire. We never received a call that our dog would be seen from Southwest Florida Veterinary Specialists that our 2 hour wait was up. Had we waited, our dog would have died we were told. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. If you ever plan to take your sick or dying animal here, I hope that is it not during season or a busy time of day as your animal will not be seen. This place is the most disappointing experience we have encountered living in the state of Florida since 2015.

Got referred here from our normal vet/clinic because we had a very sick dog that could require surgery. Referral was called and emailed/faxed ahead for the appointment, which SWFL denied getting of course. Made us wait for over two hours only to tell us that they had no surgeon on call, go back to where you came from. Rude and irritable to boot. Don't go here.
