Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists (GCVS)

My husband and I have never seen a more well run facility. They really took good care of our dog. I was called twice a day with updates, except on the weekend and was called once a day. Everyone we had contact with were very professional and thorough. They all seemed to care about our sweet dog.

Hands down amazing group of specialists and staff!! They took the best care of our sweet Shihtzu who had been attacked by someone’s off leash dog. From the minute we walked into the clinic they were fast to act, sympathetic, informative, caring and on top of everything. They saved our fur baby and recouped her to health. They loved on her during her stay and it was clear they have a heart for every animal and are passionate about what they do. We will forever be grateful to Gulf Coast!!!! We have our fur baby home and comfortably recouping. AMAZING GROUP OF PEOPLE!!!!

I brought my dog in starting 3 years ago because of a heart murmur. She was also having fainting spells and I thought she was on death’s door. The cardiology staff as well as the pharmacy have done an amazing job of helping me manage my girl’s health issues. She turns 17 in two months and I am so grateful to the staff for giving me these extra years with her. On our last visit the doc spent time going over the cost vs benefit of doing certain expensive diagnostic test and really listened and addressed my concerns. I definitely recommend taking your dog in when you first see an issue especially if the dog was ever treated for heart-worm, as it can cause long term complications that at least in our case, can be well managed with medications.

Dr. Amy Davenport Is wonderful. Spends time actually sitting, talking and listening. Very insightful and has taken great care of my pup for several years now as she’s had a couple complex issues. Facility is clean and orderly, people are nice, my dog is happy when going there and trusting of staff. Not the cheapest place for sure but getting the right treatment and diagnosis the first time rather than several other vet visits like the past has certainly saved me some time and funds.

Our 3 year old dog had multiple terrifying episodes where his entire body suddenly became cramped to the point that he was unable to stand up. After multiple emergency visits to the vet, and it getting any solid answers, we brought him to GCVS. Not only did they take great care of Louie, but they also took great care of me (I was a mess, crying the entire day, worried sick). He was transferred to the neurology department and was quickly and expertly diagnosed with an extremely rare movement disorder. We were lucky to figure out that his disorder is not life threatening, and getting an answer to what was going on has relieved us of so much stress and anxiety. I am beyond impressed with their level of expertise, and how accurately they were able to diagnose Louie, when no one else seemed to have answers. I can't recommend them enough, if you are ever in the unfortunate situation of needing them.
