IAC Urgent Care

We brought our 19 year old Chihuahua named Stella in there who was really scared and in a lot of pain. The doctor was respectful of Stella and her state. After carefully examining her, we saw really bad inflammation in her mammary. Doctor Adams explained that this is most likely cancer, and if so is untreatable. However he said we should hold onto hope that maybe it's just a really bad infection. So he started her on some antibiotics, administered pain medication to help keep her comfortable, and said to keep watch over the next two days to see if the swelling goes down. He even offered and gave his prayers for her recovery. We felt more than satisfied with the service and cost was very reasonable. Low and behold a few days later and Stella is doing great! The swelling has gone down and she's back to her old spritely self again. We are so happy that Dr Adams said we could bring her by, and she received treatment from him, Stella's pretty happy too! Thank you Dr Adams and staff! We really appreciate you!!!

Doctor Adams is amazing! He took me in same day short notice. He was very caring and understanding. I had given my cat ear mite drops which worsened his infection and I was very distraught over being the reason my poor baby was suffering more, Dr. Adams was very comforting and kind. love the care he provided for my cat He is honest and reliable and wants the best care possible for your animal.

Last Saturday, we attempted to have our 10 yr old Morkie, TobyMac, seen by his regular vet in Dunedin, because he was very ill. They referred us to an emergency animal hospital just south of Gulf-to-Bay on Hwy 19. TobyMac was unable to eat or drink, had a fever and was very lethargic. After keeping TobyMac for over 6 hrs and over $1000 of tests, they misdiagnosed him with pneumonia and advised us to follow up with his regular vet. On Monday morning after TobyMac showed no improvement, we called our regular vet, who again refused to see our dog and said they would call back about arrangements to see him on Tuesday. We waited all day and they never called back. (They are located in Dunedin in the 300 block of Patricia) Thru an online search late Monday afternoon, thankfully we found Dr. Adams. When my husband called Dr. Adam's office and spoke with Nicole, she discerned the desperation in his voice and reassured him that we had called the right place. She then put Dr. Adams on the phone (How unusual that a new client can speak with the doctor on the initial contact.). When my husband described TobyMac's symptoms, Dr. Adams asked us to bring TobyMac in immediately. Within 5 minutes of examining TobyMac, Dr. Adams found the source of his issues, which was not pneumonia, but was actually infection of teeth and gums. He administered injections of B12, antibiotics and pain reliever, as well as gave him fluids to hydrate him. Wow! Within an hour of treatment by Dr. Adams, TobyMac was actually eating and drinking. On Tuesday, Dr. Adams extracted 4 teeth. Then on Wednesday, Dr. Adams called me personally to check on how TobyMac was doing! We feel that Dr. Adams saved our precious TobyMac's life. (TobyMac is the silver & white dog in this photo.) As you probably know, finding a good vet with good diagnostic skills who isn't out to finance his children's Ivy league education on the backs of each client, is not easy to do. Dr. Adams and his staff are a breath of fresh air. We felt the honesty and sincerity through the entire process. WE HAVE A NEW VET! YEAH!!!!

Absolutely delighted that Dr Adams helped my poorly dog today - he’s so so special to me and to many... and I was very concerned about him. Dr Adams was very good at explaining what needed to be done and why and not only that, his condition was handled rapidly as we didn’t need to wait for blood test results and he showed me all the out-points in his blood sample within 25 minutes. This was impressive. I’m so glad I bought him to Dr Adams. He was extremely kind and caring and I’m very grateful. Thank you!
