Capital Veterinary Specialists, Jax

The entire staff at CVS are exceptional! From Tiffaney at reception to the Techs ~ Nikki, Teresa, & Salena to Dr. Vansickle, Dr. Bloom, and Dr. Hartfield who all treated my 13 yr old Kitty, Finxie, for a severe UTI and recurring diabetes. These doctors are truly Angels on earth. I really needed the calm, attentive, and compassionate demeanor Dr. Vansickle provided after arriving from our regular Vet's office. Each doctor called daily with updates, discussed her treatment plan, and encouraged me to visit her during her 2 night/3 day stay. Now, after 2 weeks of oral antibiotics and going back to 2x daily insulin shots, Finxie is thriving. We're so grateful for the incredible care she was given. Thank you all for doing what you do, every day!

I wanted to brag about Capital. We took our dog there last weekend for abdominal pain and found out he was covered in cancer. We decided to put him down. They allowed us to spend lots of time with our dog. They had a front room with lots of treats and was set up very cozy. When it came time to put him down the gave him propofol to calm him before they gave him the medication to stop his heart. He was so peaceful. About 3 days later we received a card from the clinic with a nose print and paw print. My kids loved seeing this. It was so very thoughtful. A few days after that we received his ashes. The box is so nice. It also came with hair clippings and a hard paw print. So thoughtful. Everything was so nice, as nice as it could be. They went above and beyond.

So pleased with my experience with this clinic. My weiner had stage 4 IVDD. They got him in for same day surgery. They are so kind. You can visit your furbaby at any hour of the day. They call with updates. The surgeon even calls with updates. Once you go home they call to check on your furbaby. My furbaby is progressing nicely and I pray I never need their services again but it's a comfort to know they are there 24/7.

I can’t say enough good things about them. I’ve used them as an emergency vet 3x with 3 separate animals. Last night I had to put my boy down. Nothing that anyone could’ve done. They were extremely compassionate and did everything that they could for me. Thank you Capital. I know you see the worst of the worst and I really thank you for still sticking to it and being there for the animals and their owners. Thank you for being amazing to my Tiny mans.

We recently made a late night weekend visit to Capital Veterinary Specialists with our male cat, Poppy, who was experiencing his 3rd complete urinary blockage this year. He was admitted and we decided to go ahead with a PU surgery which was performed the very next day by Dr McCarthy. The entire team was fantastic! Both Dr Takacs and Dr VanSickle were informative, compassionate and knowledgeable getting us through the acute emergent stage and helping us decide which route to take. Dr McCarthy answered all my questions regarding the surgery (before and after) and is an incredibly skilled surgeon. The staff always greet with warm smiles and friendly gestures. A specialty such as theirs comes with a price, however, in the event you may need them, your furry loved ones are guaranteed top not
