BluePearl Pet Hospital Town 'N' Country - Tampa, Florida

I would like to thank everyone who helped me during a difficult time when my little dog broke his leg in two places. My baby broke his little leg on Saturday, and after visiting the emergency clinic, we were told that surgery was necessary. I called the clinic on Monday, and by Tuesday, they had already scheduled his surgery.

He had a complex fracture, and given his very small weight of only 3.5 pounds, I’m not sure how the doctors managed such a difficult surgery. Everyone, from the receptionist to the surgeon, was incredibly kind and compassionate. They explained the entire process to me, and I was even able to call at night to check on my furry baby. Thank you so much for your professionalism and for acting so quickly. I cannot thank you enough!

With gratitude,
Julia and Phoenix

This was my first experience with extensive surgery after my dog dislocated her shoulder. I cannot recommend this office highly enough. Everyone treats you exceptionally well, and you have pretty much round-the-clock ability
to check in on your pet. I have high confidence in the outcome of the surgery.

Posting an update in May of 2021, about a year and a half after her original surgery. She's almost 12, yet runs and plays like a puppy. You would never know Dr. Hay essentially rebuilt her left shoulder. Every day I'm just so grateful to him and the entire staff for giving her the ability to do that.

*Update as of March, 2022. Ruffian continues to run and play like nothing ever happened to her. There is occasional slight limping, when it's cold out...but every running step she takes continually remind me of the exceptional skill of Dr. Hay and the kindness of the staff. We are so grateful!!!! I have been referring anybody who asks.

*Update. Ruffian passed away from multiple health conditions in October of 2024. Yet she could still run and play at over 15 years of age BECAUSE of Dr. Hay's tremendous skill. I will never forget him. He gave Ruffian a completely normal life after her injury and surgery.

I brought my Rescue Rufus here for knee surgery, I found him on the street took him to the Tampa Humane Society for a Chip Scan, they Found the owner and he said that he had relocated him already to a new home and that he couldn’t take care of him. After the stray hold Rufus tested Positive for Heart Worm and had a Torn CCL, The Humane society told me that they could take care of the Heart worm, but the Torn CCL was an expensive procedure that they couldn’t perform in their Hospital, and that they were going to put him to sleep unless I decided to take him and cover the surgery for the CCL. Insurances a don’t cover this kind of surgeries specially if they are pre existing before coverage so it had to be Out of Pocket, After many phone Calls I came across Veterinary Surgical Specialists, they had the most affordable price in town and Me and my family decided to schedule the surgery so we could take Rufus home with us! Dr. Leslie Thomas sat down with me and my wife, explained the procedure and told us that everything was going to be ok, they took great care of him, the whole staff is great from the moment you walk into the office until you leave! Definitely Recommend them! Wouldn’t go anywhere else if I ever need surgical services for my 4 legged kids! ThAnk you to all the staff that took great care of our Rufus!

I would like to thank everyone who helped and assisted while my 12 year old dog, Eddie underwent and recovered from TPLO surgery.

It was such a stressful time, deciding to have the proceduure and then the recovery process. The support from everyone at Town and Country Blue Pearl was wonderful and I can't recommend them enough.

This is the most wonderful place to take your animal ❤️ every employee is simply amazing, friendly & knowledgeable! Dr. Thomas got us in immediately, and unlike other vets we had taken Mika to, whom said she would need surgery for a break in her leg, Dr. Thomas quickly let us know she didn't need surgery! Our treatment plan was explained to us in depth & was very cost effective for what was required to get our sweet little Shiba Inu back to her normal self* Trust no other place for your surgical needs, I won't. Thank you all so much!

Cannot recommend VSS enough. I had no idea what to do when my Ellie came up limping on a walk. She had a torn CCL. I was referred to them by Veg emergency vet and they got her in asap for consultation and then surgery. They were very caring and informative. Ellie is doing amazing after her surgery. She is better then ever now running, playing and jumping. Highly recommend VSS. Photo attached of 1 day post op and 12 weeks later.

I had to take my American Bulldog, Cali, there to get a consult and surgery. The staff has been great with Cali and me. They would call for follow-ups and to make sure we are ok. I highly recommend them. They are kind, professional, and helpful.

Thank you to Dr. Hay and his staff at Veterinarian Surgery Specialist that took such good care of Sarah during her surgery and overnight stay. She is now home recovering and we are keeping her comfortable. The staff are so professional and detailed and I definitely would highly recommend them to everyone I know who has a furr baby.
