South Texas Veterinary Ophthalmology

I found this place on Google while researching my little girl's eye condition and seeing all the wonderful reviews, I couldn't help but cancel my surgery appointment with another vet clinic and make a new one with this place (even though I live in Austin and knew it would mean a 2 hour drive). Today I can confirm that all the good reviews I read are true; this is by far the best place I could have brought my baby doggy to. The staff was very friendly from the first call to the moment I left the clinic, the doctors and the technician were splendid in every way, they answered all my questions and concerns and showed great knowledge of the whole situation. My baby still needed surgery (cherry eye) and even though it is something a little scary to consider, I was able to feel peace and safety knowing that I was leaving her in good hands. They were also very clear with all the post-surgery instructions and provided me with the medication I would need. Today my baby is in the process of recovery, but I couldn't feel more grateful for having found this place. I will recommend for now on to all my friends around the area. I will leave here the pictures of the night before the surgery and the night right after the surgery. I will update another one when she is fully heal in 2 weeks.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Greller and his staff. Within a short time span, my 10 year old dog Grizzly had developed cataracts, experienced a lens rupture, and was needing an emergency surgery to save one eye and remove the other. I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Greller quickly and surgery was scheduled for the following day. Dr. Greller and his staff eased my stress and concerns by taking their time answering all my questions and educating me on Grizzly’s condition. I received an update and picture after Grizzly’s surgery assuring me that everything went smoothly. Any concerns that I had throughout the recovery process were always promptly answered by staff. I’m happy to say Grizzly’s quality of life has greatly improved and he’s able to see again thanks to Dr. Greller and staff. I didn’t know Veterinary Ophthalmology existed nor did I think much could be done for Grizzly’s condition until I was referred to STVO. They truly care for their patients and I 100% recommend them. They got Grizzly and I through an incredibly stressful and scary time, and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you STVO for all that you do!

Big thank you to Dr Darden and his considerate staff! Very professional and did a job well done! One year later and my cat is doing perfectly well after his Entropion surgery. I traveled to San Antonio to have the procedure done correctly and it was definitely worth the trip. 100% trust this facility and will continue to visit for any future concerns.
