Our fairly healthy17 year old cat Whoser with kidney disease took ill on a Friday evening. I googled an urgent care in south tampa and called them immediately. They were very accommodating and invited us in to see the Dr. on call. The wait was minimal before we were taken into a room. The vet technician who did the initial inspection was extremely knowledgeable, caring and probed us for the cats history. Shortly after that the Dr (name I cannot recall) came in. She was young and also very gentle and caring and mostly very sensitive to our feelings. She gave us her opinion of hospitalizing our cat and performing a procedure similar to dialysis. This exact treatment was done two weeks earlier by our normal vet who had cared for Whoser all his life. At that time we were told that the procedure could last a few weeks or a few months but due to his age, his kidneys were failing. Distraught, we made a decision to put Whoser down that evening. The Dr explained all our options and agreed that our decision was the right one. They were very patient and allowed us to be with Whoser as long as we could. We notified our son who immediately joined us. The procedure was quick and done tastefully. Thanks to the amazing staff at Veterinary Medical Clinic, we were able to get over this very traumatic experience. The cost was also very reasonable and in line with our normal vet. We plan on using them in the near future with our new pet. Thank You to all at Veterinary Medical Clinic. You were all amazing !!!

This clinic is great and it has reasonable prices. I recently moved and needed a new vet. Ive been on the urgent care after hours for an allergy reaction and normal hours for annual check up and vaccines. The vets are very knowledgeable and clear with everything they need to tell you. They are efficient and all the staff is super nice. The only thing I didnt like is that for both of my visits (1st urgent care and 2nd last appointment of the day) I felt like they were rushing to just get done with me. Some people may not care but Im super involved in my dogs and to me they are more like babies so I appreciate it when they take the time to make the visit more personal and the vet acts more personal with my dogs​. In both occasions with both different vets I felt like they were in a rush to care for my dogs as quick as possible so they could go. Ive never been on normal time so maybe if I picked another appointment that wasnt urgent or end of the day the experience would be better on that aspect. Other than that I do recommend the clinic and will keep taking my dogs there for now.

Our experience at VMC with Dr Parker has been nothing but great. We rescued a kitten from the neighborhood a year ago and I was able to get in the same day without issue and was treated so kindly, being reminded that I am doing a great thing by giving this cat a home. She was very knowledgable and provided advice on when it was safe to bring my rescue around my other cats and even how to keep my family safe just in case our new cat had contracted any illnesses. We even received a call about a week later from Dr Parker herself as she was following up on how we were able to integrate the cat and his progress. I was very impressed and when it was time for my other two cats to be examined and to receive their shots, I knew we were going to see Dr Parker. Just as last year we were treated just as kindly, we were seen quickly, and each cat was given a thorough examination. I can do nothing but recommend the care of Dr Parker and her staff.

I dont usually write reviews but I felt like I should in this case. A few days ago my cat was vomiting throughout the day and broke out in a terrible rash. Considering we rarely have had any problems with him, we were extremely concerned something might be very wrong. I felt terrible being that person bringing my cat in less than an hour before they closed. However, they were extremely kind and professional to my boyfriend and I the entire time. They went out of their way to answer any questions we had and since visiting, my cat has slowly been getting back to his normal self. The veterinarian we saw was also extremely kind and helpful. I really cant say more good things about their service and would recommend them to anyone with a sick fur baby.

I was looking for a vet open late to provide a little peace of mind about my pet issue. I decided to call based on the incredibly high ratings and they definitely live up to the hype! I wanted to talk to someone about my cat who was experiencing UTI symptoms but I didnt feel was improving after seeing another local vet. I spoke with the most wonderful individual who listened and answered all my questions and asked the doctor to ensure I was given the correct information! I was very impressed not only with the quality of customer service but the knowledge! Thank you so much for you help, recommendations, and clarity!

Knowledgable, Caring, and compassionate. I brought my dog into their urgent care clinic after another vet had misdiagnosed him and given him a death sentence. They took their time, and really explained what was happening. They reviewed his records and concluded that he was totally misdiagnosed and couldnt believe anyone would suggest I put my best friend down when all he needed was a series of antibiotics and simple surgery, that they could perform in their office. The pervious vet told us he had cancer without ever running any tests. All he had was an abscess. I will be bring him here from now on.

I am a registered nurse. My 1 year old golden retriever got attacked by a dog at a dog park and had 2 very deep puncture sites. I cannot explain how professional, friendly, and efficient this clinic and staff was. They took my dog in immediately, made my dog feel comfortable (she was very scared), told me exactly what needed to be done, explained the prices, and asked for my permission regarding all care. Dr. Tim Jones is very friendly and genuinely enjoys what he does. Great experience, highly recommend! Will 100% go to again if I need after hour care like I had needed in this situation!

I applaud the staff and veterinarians of Veterinary Medical Clinic for all the expertise, care and love they have given to my dogs. One in particular is my youngest pup who was on the verge of dying. Most of the team have been involved in getting my baby back to life again. I received calls throughout my pups journey of getting her health back. She is alive today because of these amazing people and digging deep into the root issue of my pup. Both of my pups are smothered with so much love and affection every time they visit. I am so glad I found this clinic for my fur babies!

I am cross-posting this from Urgent Pet Care of South Tampa as it is the after hours portion of this same clinic. Based on reviews, we drove over an hour to this clinic for emergency treatment for our chihuahua. We were exceptionally pleased with our choice to do so. The entire staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. Explanations were clear, concise, and all questions were answered professionally. We were not encouraged to add unnecessary tests or treatments. The price was reasonable and each person we encountered had a kind bedside manner. Go here.
