Central Texas Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital

It’s been 1 year since Elio was rushed to CT Vet South Austin and this was the only way I knew how to thank the team of staff and doctors who saved his life. I don’t like thinking about that visit because it was heartbreaking but he was in the best hands possible. I’m grateful for this team and that our crazy boy is still with us and is his best self. We joke that his energy is that of 3 cats due to his blood transfusions. Thanks for all you do!

Dr. Krista Adamovich was the best care provider we could have ever asked for. We were so fortunate to have someone with her skill level attend to the care of our dog. I believe all of the staff and technicians provide the best care for all animals that they see. And they make us parents feel okay too! So grateful for Central Texas Veterinary specialty and emergency hospital in Austin.

My experience at Central Texas Veterinary Clinic was by far the worst vet experience I've ever had. I brought in a kitten close to death, and upon arrival, they immediately demanded a $1000 security deposit with no explanation. They wouldn't inform me about the services or their costs, only emphasizing their frustration with the kitten's condition, as if it were my fault. They insisted that without paying, the kitten would die, but refused to explain why. The front desk staff was unhelpful, claiming they weren't doctors when I asked for clarification, the person I spoke to was rude and unprofessional in her demeanor. When I requested to speak to someone else, she responded with 'who?' in a dismissive manner. Eventually, I had to specify that I wanted to speak to anyone but her, as I needed answers regarding the charges and procedures. Unfortunately, despite my compliance, I had to put the kitten down. They even made me take him home in my hands unless I paid for their expensive packages. In another incident a few years back, my brother's puppy injured her arm and was limping. The clinic sent her home with pain medication, attributing it to soreness. We later discovered that her arm was broken and had healed incorrectly, leaving her with a permanent limp. The clinic's only offered solutions were an expensive surgery with uncertain outcomes or amputation. As a result, our dog now lives with a limp. I strongly advise against visiting this clinic. Their prices are exorbitant compared to other clinics, the staff is unprofessionally opinionated, and their practices are disorganized and unethical.

Dr. Nicole Antallfy and the team at the clinic took great care of our cat Mittens, when we brought him in Monday evening. They quickly assessed the situation and started treatment within an hour of us arriving. We received daily updates per phone, and could come in to see him on our own schedule. Everyone was so nice and helpful and made this whole process as pleasant as it could be all things considered. Today we picked Mittens up, and we received very detailed instructions and helpful tips for his care. So far he gobbled up the new cat food, went to the litter box twice, and just took his pill like a champ. Thank you all for everything you did to help our little guy get better. We appreciate you so much! Happy Thanksgiving!

My dog was bitten by a rattlesnake. CTVH staff were amazing with him. They immediately got him into an exam, ascertained the situation and got him started on the appropriate antivenin and pain meds. Without them i don’t know that my dog would still be with us! Highly recommend their services.
