This review is to tell you just how very lucky and blessed we were to be referred to Dr. Tessa Phillips, and how blessed your community is to have her. Although I am saddened to find she has left Florida, I am grateful for the extended life she has afforded our precious Peanut. We were referred for BOAS for our precious boy, at the time only two years young. During Dr. Phillips preoperative exam, Peanut was found to be over 85% occluded, requiring a temporary tracheostomy to even manage any post operative chance of survival. Sadly, she told us that most people would prefer she stop at this stage and pick their babies up. We put our faith in her, and we're so glad we did! Peanut's surgery was in April of this year, and he came home with his temp tracheostomy and healed without incident! I couldn't wait to hug Dr. Phillips, through tears, at our follow up appointment. Peanut celebrated his third birthday on September first, something that would most likely not have come to pass if it weren't for Dr. Phillip's expert care!!! I'm so glad she was in Florida when we needed her, and I'm truly envious of VCA and California for having her there!!

I have had nothing but good experiences here. My cat Leia likes to eat and she ended up eating one of my brothers toys. She was In really bad shape when I brought her in. 2 days earlier I brought her to a different vet and they told me she was just overweight and I needed to give her different food ($1000 for that diagnosis). When I brought her here, they saved her life. I am so glad I brought her here, the doctors were phenomenal. I got a call everyday and they gave me a prognosis in less than 24 hours unlike the other place. She ended up needing surgery and again, they saved her. I didn’t have a lot of money to spend on Leia, but the doctors told me not to worry about that and I ended up getting help with some of the doctors, I will be eternally grateful for VCA Loomis Basin and the Junebug Foundation. I hope to someday return the favor by donating to their cause as well. If you can, please continue to donate so they can help more animals like my Leia. Thank you VCA, you’ve made this cat mom very happy ❤️

Today I had to send my sweet boy to heaven. The staff at Loomis Basin were kind and compassionate. They made an awful experience bearable. I am so grateful for their sensitivity on a really sad day.

Approximately 2 years ago VCA saved my very sick Einstein kitty’s life…. He had a very rare condition and they gave me another year and a half with this exceptional animal. The intensity of care and kindness shown to my family, who visited daily, was over the top. I thank them for all the great medical care offered to my kitty. Thank you for your service to all the animals in need of help!

I brought my cat in for a possible blockage. For male cats it can be an emergency situation so I couldn’t wait for when my vet could get me in to see him. At Loomis Basin I was quite surprised when they came into the waiting room and announced to me and others in the room that my cat was a girl not a boy so it had to be a UTI. It was embarrassing to think I didn’t know the sec of my cat. It was possible I was the second owner and had taken it at face value that the cat was a male and had been neutered. The bill was about $500 for Loomis Basin to do blood work and cultures and give me amoxicillin (an antibiotic) which worked for about two days. In the meantime I made an appointment to have “her” now spayed at my vet. When I brought her in I explained the situation to my vet. She took the time to evaluate the genital area (thank goodness) before the surgery only to discover my cat was a boy. I can’t imagine if someone hadn’t taken the time to figure this out and operated on him only to find that he was in fact a boy. It really made me angry with Loomis Basin to say something to me that clearly they didn’t spend much time checking on. In the end I told my vet that “he” was still having issues with his bladder. They took the time to provide me with a lot of background info for treatment. The condition is a life condition that requires special food and keeping his anxiety down.
