Suncoast Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center

Sarasota is lucky to have such an amazing animal hospital! I can’t say enough good things about Suncoast. I was here visiting when my cat got an intestinal blockage. She ended up needing surgery and I’m so happy she ended up here. The entire team was knowledgeable, patient, efficient, and took such good care of my girl. They called to update me regularly and answered all of my questions day and night following her procedure (shoutout to Karen and Tammy!). Pet emergencies are so scary but Suncoast made it as positive of an experience as it could be. If you’re ever in need, do not hesitate to use this incredible facility!

I had to bring our cat to the ER last Wednesday. Every single person there was friendly, caring, compassionate and helpful. Dr. Stickland (sp?) answered all my questions and calmed my fears. The tests were thoroughly explained, as well as the billing. The doctored monitored my Bailey throughout the night. I even got a refund when my deposit was not completely used. Thank you to everyone at Suncoast. You made a difficult day much better for both of us!!

We recently had to take our tiny toy poodle (Margarita) here because she fell and hit her head. The facility was recommend by our vet. Our primary vet was able to stabilize her so we drove her here for emergency care. They were very kind and compassionate and took excellent care of her. Dr. Smith came out to the waiting room and explained everything to us. Margarita spent the night and the next day we were able to take her home for the recovery process with a referral to see a neurologist they recommended. The notes they gave us were very detailed which was a big help. They had lots of snacks available there in the waiting room to get us through while we waited. That was a nice and thoughtful touch. After Margarita came home, we had various follow-up questions so would call periodically and they answered those as well. We were extremely pleased with the care Margarita received and are very grateful to them.

Highly recommend this veterinarian emergency Hospital. When my 13 year old Labrador collapsed, and apparently her spleen ruptured due to a mass growth and at that age it’s basically fatal. The surgery isn’t too promising. But they were kind enough to at least offer that option! They did end up putting my dog princess to rest. They were very compassionate very sweet and caring and I cannot thank the staff enough. The bedside manner was impeccable. We had previously taken her there when she was about 2 years old, first time puppy owners, not knowing what to do and they had us in and out really quick at 3 AM. And it was really reasonably priced. A recent visit with my boyfriends senior dog. They were very caring, very prompt and accurate and everything you look for in a emergency situation. I highly recommend them to friends and family. Thank you for being there through the hardest of times.

Caring, compassionate, they go above and beyond , to help my dog honey, they saved her, I saw interactions with many people and they are truly caring there! Kept me informed, I felt they were taking excellent care of her. They answered any questions I had pre and post surgery. I called several times following surgery and they were very helpful with instructions. Thank you so much Dr young , christina, diana at front desk, all staff, for all you did ! Im so thankful to have her still here with us!!
