Veterinary Specialists of Birmingham

My pups seem to think the best time to fall ill is on the weekend. And of course it’s major, so no putting it off until Monday. I’m so thankful, albeit poorer, for all the wonderful staff at VSB. As traumatic as these incidents are it’s comforting to know your baby is getting the absolute best care. To have 24 hour attentiveness given by such a knowledgeable and compassionate staff helps reassure yourself, that other than praying, you’re doing everything you can to provide your pet with a fighting chance to have a positive outcome. They call you with updates. They don’t get snarky when you call with questions. Truly a kind and caring facility for the pet and its human(s). Phoebe is home and recovering. I am grateful for VSB . Phoebe says the jury is still out.. All she knows is that as ni

Small edit: I see a LOT of people complaining about cost. I didn't exactly want to pay what I did (cheaper than I thought), I completely understand that. However, this is not a regular vet. They are emergency care specialists. Not a general practitioner. I waited 4 hours but gladly would have waited longer. I brought a book. My pup was happy! :) My heart does go out to those who felt otherwise. Quite literally, some of the best staff I've come in contact with! I drove almost 4 hours for my dog Sadie's, consult with Dr. Vaughn. The techs, front desk girls and the doctor, were so welcoming! I was very nervous as I'm incredibly protective over my girl, but they treated her so well. She got a lot of love and was just hamming it up! She actually loves going to the doctor. Dr. Vaughn, explaine

All of the staff members were incredibly kind, compassionate, and attentive. My boy was very well taken care of from start to finish. Dr. Thomas was thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain what we were dealing with. I felt completely confident in both his expertise and the treatment plan he created for my pup. Thank you, Dr. Thomas! Sterling, Cheryl, & Jagger 🩵

I have taken several of my pets to VSB and have always been very pleased with the care. A Himalayan who turned out to have pemphigus foliaceous, a golden retriever who needed bilateral canine cruciate ligament repairs, Primrose when she had an exophthalmic disaster and a cat who had aplastic anemia. All were taken care of in the best possible way. Almost 3 years ago my 3 year old Pekingese, Primrose, herniated a vertebral disc and was instantly paralyzed; this happened just walking into my room. This was on a Sunday afternoon days prior to a visit to Spain to visit family. I got her to VSP and she was seen immediately by Dr. Vaughn. They did a CT scan to verify his diagnosis and to get more detail on the levels involved and she went right into surgery less than 3 hours from her collapse.

I can’t say enough good things about VSB! The staff is caring and truly love what they do and it shows. My pup was in ICU there and they literally kept her alive. They loved on the animals and talk to them. The care is A+. Thank you so much for taking great care of our fur baby Dixie Mae❤️ She is doing great after getting run over. I’m convinced she wouldn’t be with us if not for the exceptional care and love she received 😊
