These are the exactly the kind of people you want to be taking care of your baby. We took our dachshund mix, Spud, to see them after an extremely sudden change in vision and behavior. Everyone here was so kind and welcoming. You can tell that they are all passionate about what they do and it feels like they have a true team atmosphere there. We absolutely loved our experience there. Spud even did so well and we give credit to Dr. Swanson and Ms. Sheila at Gulf Coast Animal Eye Clinic for making him feel so comfortable and safe. Thank you ❤️

Dr. Villar was such a gift to us! I had taken my cat, Sasha, to 2 vets & called numerous veterinary ophthalmologists regarding my cat’s cherry eye and everyone said she would need surgery. Dr. Villar said that first she would try to put it back in place manually. She numbed the eye and was able to push the gland back into place in seconds. Highly recommend Dr. Villar and this eye clinic!

I was referred here by my dogs vet. My 13 year old dog was suffering from corneal ulcers which he saw his vet for twice in the span of 2-3 months and no improvement at all after all sorts of medications. We saw Dr. Glaze here at this eye clinic. She has a ton of experience. She was super kind and gentle with my dog who was extremely nervous. They did extensive eye tests to confirm the corneal ulcers and went on to treat it with a quick in office procedure called Keratotomy. It was a little expensive ($600) but definitely worth it. By week 3 my pup was all better. So thankful for Dr. Glaze. I definitely recommend this clinic if your animal is suffering from any eye issues. I attached before and after pics to this review.

Dr. James Herrmann and staff are super helpful and have, by far, the best bedside manner of any place I've been. In doing his diagnostics, my cat barely complained. He is thorough in determining what interventions we can employ and the contingencies that may arise. So grateful for them.

I had a wonderful experience at Gulf Coast Veterinary Ophthalmology for my dog, Beau Duke 💙 Buckalew. We were referred by our veterinarian due to some cloudiness in his eyes, which turned out to be edema, and I’m so grateful we were sent here. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. You can tell they genuinely care not just about the animals, but about the people who love them. Dr. James Hermann truly went above and beyond. He took his time explaining everything in a way that felt clear and reassuring, even showing me photos so I could fully understand what was going on. That level of care and communication made such a difference. You never feel rushed, and you leave feeling informed and supported. I also brought my other dog, Baby Bee 🐝 Buckalew, with me since they’re always together. I rarely leave them apart unless absolutely necessary, and the team didn’t miss a beat. They welcomed her, included her, and made her feel just as comfortable even though she wasn’t the patient. That meant a lot to me. There’s also something really special about the legacy here knowing Dr.James Hermann comes from a family of animal ophthalmologists adds an extra layer of trust and respect for the work they do. They even sent us home with a sweet little bag of treats for Beau Duke, which was such a thoughtful touch. I left feeling confident that my dog is in the best hands, and that peace of mind is everything. We already have a follow-up scheduled, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Hermann and his team to anyone needing specialized eye care for their pet.
