They torture pets and take their blood to transfuse. How could anyone with any morality or integrity go here?

Animal abusers. Must go down.

On top of having the maximum of $2,000 still have the papers I spoke to the doctor about giving my kitty more blood and she knew I had a limit I still have the papers and I verbally agreed to give her another $1,000 in blood they tried to hold my cat hostage the cat was dying they didn't know how to treat her they left me alone for a year and now they want another thousand when I still have the documents of two grand and I gave the doctor an extra $1,000 for the verbal agreement this place doesn't care about your pets nor do they care about your money the one on camp Horne road had the same deals and took care of my kitty and updated me about everything I will get a lawyer if they can continue to bother me I still have the documents of maximum $2,000 and I'd like to see that doctor go to the magistrate after what they did to me and I brought my cat back dying thank God I took her to somewhere else where they figured out she needed doxycycline that's what saved her life what kind of hospital is this keep it up people because I'll go to the better Business bureau and I'll call my lawyer back up

Very poor care for our dog. We arrived at the hospital around11:00 am and didn’t see a Dr until 9:30. Our dog was a diabetic and they never checked his blood sugar all day.The Dr. never showed any compassion! The staff kept complaining about being understaffed. Would definitely not take another pet to Blue Pearl!!!

THINK TWICE AND DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE HAVING THIS VET DO AN OP ON your animal. They ruined the end of our dog’s life and robbed 10k from us during the holidays. We dropped our still mobile dog Oscar off at blue pearl and he came out paralyzed. He was never able to walk again until we were forced to put him to sleep. Blue Pearl is a surgery mill. The purpose of this company is to exploit people’s love for their pets for money. They are a national company whose parent company also owns Banfield Pet Hospital. Blue Pearl has 1 of 5 stars and a “D-” Better Business Bureau rating. I found numerous lawsuits against Blue Pearl Nationwide. We took our pup Oscar to Blue Pearl in Maitland, FL to be examined by Dr. Stark, the neurologist. The receptionist said she did not need his shot records because “if you can afford to come here, we know you take care of your pet”. We informed Dr. Stark that Oscar had started to drag one of his back legs and recently started having choppy front steps. After telling us that IVDD surgery would fix our pup and that it had 95% success rate we decided to proceed with the 10k surgery. This was a lie; it is more like 40% success rate when you do more research. After doing a very expensive MRI Dr. Stark said that she found the source of Oscars disk problem and that we should definitely proceed with the surgery. After 10k in bills we picked up Oscar shocked to find that he could not walk AT ALL. He was paralyzed, in a lot of pain, and traumatized. They said that this was perfectly normal. They had failed to mention that we would need to spend 3k more to do physical therapy. We got a physical therapist right away. A week later we took Oscar to his follow-up with Dr. Stark. She told us we may need to take our seats. And then with almost a smug smile on her face said "Well, it looks like your dog got another injury since his surgery. Because his back legs were fine before. Unless you have 10k more to spend on another surgery. It looks like euthanasia is the next option." You can imagine our shock as we were gaslit. If you care about your pup do not let Dr. Stark get her hands on him. The doctor could not say when or how the 2nd herniated disc occurred because they only examined and x-rayed his neck area and never looked at his entire spine. We deeply regret that we had just given our dog steroids so that he could have had a happier end to his life. When a large corporation dictates pet care and the doctors practice medicine by checking a box and following a procedure manual, the human element is removed from care. I am disgusted that this company exploits people’s love for their pets to make a profit. I feel horrible for putting my precious dog through a traumatic surgical procedure at 13-years old. When we informed the doctor that we would not be giving Blue Pearl anymore of our money they handed us some steroids and pain meds and we never heard from them again. No follow up call or inquiry about his condition. They are cold and ruthless when the revenue source has run out. Oscar was a beloved family member who deserved compassionate care that he did not receive at Blue Pearl.

I took my foster dog Rocky down there to blue pearl in Pgh Pa on Camp Horne Rd to the er because Rocky was having some neurological issues going on. After talking with Dr. Joey Callum(female) she was telling me how Rocky is not doing well and that the costs of getting him treated and possibly living a good life was slim to none and she immediately said that he needed to be put down. PVSEC(blue pearl) is a money making racket or a place who always wants to immediately put an animal down. I had another dog that I took there and they said the same thing about her a year prior, well she lived another year or more and she was strong and had no issues, they are always quick to want to kill an animal. Back to Rocky, upon speaking with Dr. Joey Callum(callus is more like it and should be her last name) she is very cold hearted and when she came in the room I asked if I could speak with her in private, she says you don't want to speak in front of your husband about Rocky, I said no I don't want to speak in front of Rocky about Rocky, she says you don't want to speak about this in front of the dog, like he is not important, they understand what is going on, animals are not dumb, he is important to us, and I said no I don't so we went in another room. I had asked her about Rocky's condition and she was telling me again about what is happening with him and then in her next breath, she says I bet you will never do this again, meaning foster another dog, she knows at that moment I am vulnerable because of what is happening with Rocky, she is very heartless and her lack of compassion for the families of these pets they are supposed to take care of shows very much how much she doesn't care for the animals. PVSEC is a very heartless place to deal with. They have no compassion for people and their pets based on the two experiences I have had with them. Dr. Joey Callum could have been a little more compassionate knowing I am in tears over Rocky. This was so sudden and unexpected for Rocky to get sick that we did not expect him to have to be put down. I could not believe that she had the nerve to say to me, I bet you will never foster again. What a mean thing to say, here I am just trying to save an animal from being put down because that is what would have happened to him if I would not have gotten him from the place 6 months ago. How can a Dr. who works around animals all the time be this disrespectful to the families of fosters and adoptive animals? If you feel you have to go to this place in the er and they say Dr. Joey Callum is seeing your dog or any pet, ask for someone else(although the way PVSEC is any dr is immediately wanting to put an animal down). I wish there was an option to give zero stars because this place doesn't even deserve one star.

I brought an owl to them and it lived thank you for saving the baby owl!!!

As a doctor I quickly recognized their unethical billing practices. Here's how they will get you. They give you a statement of line items that could be charged; on the left column is the low estimate of charges and a total, on the right column is the high estimate of charges with total. They tell you your charges will not go above the high estimate but will likely be in between estimates. Here's the scam. If you don't use all the services listed in the high column, they simply adjust the itemized charges up to get it closer to the maximum amount. Most will not notice the difference in itemized charges as they just look at the total. If they do notice, as I did, they dismiss the fact that the charges were manipulated up by saying, "yes, but your total is still less than the maximum we initially agreed on. I guess we are supposed to be ok with this. No, its taking advantage of people, many who cannot afford 5k in diagnostics alone. I asked them if the charges would have been manipulated up if I had received all the services in the high column, knowing they would not have because it would have then totaled more than the high estimate guaranteed. Crickets. I was told someone in billing would get back to me. So far, crickets. It's a shame companies like this choose to manipulate you knowing you'll do anything for your pet, including getting scammed!
