Beacon Veterinary Specialists

Beacon is a fantastic place with talented people who really care about your pets. I volunteer for a rescue, and we don't have much budget for veterinary care. The team was very upfront about costs the whole time, and presented less expensive alternatives. They worked very hard to help us get these foster pups back to full health!

Beacon has helped save my dogs life twice. Last year he was hospitalized for Pancreatitis which is a deadly condition - Beacon took him in over July 4 holiday and booked him for 60 hours. They followed up several times to check on his progress. They provided a meal plan and after care. 2023 he was hospitalized again but it turned out he has cancer. They removed 300ml of fluid from his heart cavity. Unfortunately, the bad news is not treatable but they helped me under our options when the hard decision comes again. The bill is expensive, but the love for my baby is priceless. Thank you Beacon.

Beacon took care of my baby right away. Everyone there was extremely kind, professional, and compassionate. Was sad to hear that they don’t continue care after treatment because they are an emergency hospital only, but I will be referring all my friends and family here. Amazing place! Thank you to the incredible staff at Beacon for taking such great care of Max!

$4650 to clear a urinary blockage in a cat. The staggering cost aside, their treatment seems top notch and they have been extremely good about communicating to me the process my cat will go through, answering my questions, and updating me on my cat’s health during his stay with Beacon. I am left very confident in their skill and their professional attitude puts me at ease.

I brought my 16 year old, sick cat here. They wanted to hospitalize her for 24 hours and run a bunch of tests that would have amounted to $8k. We declined to put her through all of that, which the vet said was a valid choice, and took her home. The next day, upon asking for a vet to explain something they had found during the visit, I was snottily told the vet could no longer talk to me because we had taken her home, AND the person insinuated I was wrong for taking her home. I asked them to send me a quote if I chose to bring her back for care, which was now magically $13k. I have the paperwork, happy to post screenshots if challenged on this. Anyway, I took her to another emergency vet, which not only had TONS of doctors rather than just one on staff, but also only assessed $3k to have the tests she needed. Happy to pay it, I pay for my cats' care. In any case, she didn't survive and has now passed. Now they're literally harassing me for $7.00 (seven dollars) that somehow got left off the $1800 invoice I PAID IN FULL at the time I declined further treatment and took the cat home. I don't doubt that the vets are skilled, but the staff is absolutely awful.
