Animal Medical & Surgical Hospital

I would highly recommend Dr. Read and his staff. I've brought my dogs here for many years, two have passed on and my current dog. Dr. Read provided a reliable referral for my English Mastiff, Tank when he needed it and saved him. In the past I have boarded my dogs there, they provide excellent care. As well as grooming. Now I live out of the area and still bring my dog in for routine care. Truely true the care from Dr. Read's team.

If you want your pet to live, do not bring them here! The worse experience ever. My husband brought our injured dog here on 5.13.25 bleeding badly. He just panicked and went to the closet vet, and not our normal place. Very bad mistake. The first thing they were worried about was a payment and paperwork. Wouldn’t even look at her until that was handled. They ended up performing surgery on her. They never called us to give us an update. I had to call and check myself to see if she was out of surgery and how everything went. She stayed overnight, and they sent a text that she was ready to be picked up on 5.14.25 which in my opinion was very impersonal. We asked when we should bring her back for a follow up since her jaw was wired. We were told they didn’t know and would have to check with the Dr. Never received that information. Long story short, we had to rush our dog to a 24 hr veterinarian on 5.17.25 where she ended up having to be put down because there was nothing that could be done to save her. Our hearts are broken, and there’s an emptiness without our sweet Koko. After that major surgery they should have kept her there I feel for a few days. When my husband called after it was all over to tell them what happened, they had no remorse and acted like it was a money issue and we couldn’t afford care for our pet. We paid them over $1500 in the beginning so obviously we could afford it. We were shocked that it was so much but would have paid what we needed for her care. And to add, she still had blood all over her when we picked her up. The lady said they tried to clean her up. I highly doubt it! Special shout out to the Neighborhood Veterinary Center in Nederland. They have an awesome team. Go there, not here! If I could give a zero, I would!

So very thankful for Dr. Read and his staff!! After visiting two different vets, not feeling heard, given false information and charged an arm and a leg for no results! (Even lead me to thinking my baby needed to be put down) I was referred to Dr. Read by my grandmother and he gave me all the hope in the world and was/is able to heal my sweet Shih Tzu without even needing surgery! He knows his work and he actually cares about your pets! My experience has been great and I wanted to give a public thank you!!

Dr Read and his staff have been caring for my animals for many, many years. They have always went the extra mile to make sure they are happy and comfortable. My cat Booger lived 21 happy years and my dog Shiloh a blue healer is a spunky 12, thanks to the compassion and caring of Dr Read. I can't imagine trusting any other Doctor with the care of my babies.
