Capital Veterinary Specialists, Jax

The entire staff at CVS are exceptional! From Tiffaney at reception to the Techs ~ Nikki, Teresa, & Salena to Dr. Vansickle, Dr. Bloom, and Dr. Hartfield who all treated my 13 yr old Kitty, Finxie, for a severe UTI and recurring diabetes. These doctors are truly Angels on earth. I really needed the calm, attentive, and compassionate demeanor Dr. Vansickle provided after arriving from our regular Vet's office. Each doctor called daily with updates, discussed her treatment plan, and encouraged me to visit her during her 2 night/3 day stay. Now, after 2 weeks of oral antibiotics and going back to 2x daily insulin shots, Finxie is thriving. We're so grateful for the incredible care she was given. Thank you all for doing what you do, every day!

My baby was rushed to Capital in need of a specialist on a rainy Friday night and we were not given much hope that she would love after Ingesting an object that had cause a serious obstruction for several days. Dr McCarthy saved her life but not just that, the techs and doctors in the days after that took every one of my calls. They allowed me to come and lay with her on a few occasions for serval hours where they bright in blankets and we laid nose to nose. I will never be able to express my gratitude. 🙏

I can’t say thank you enough to Capital Veterinary Specialists for the incredible care they gave my sweet boy, Petey, who is about to turn 12. What started as a very scary situation quickly turned into a story of hope because of their team. Petey had a splenic mass that was actively leaking blood and causing internal bleeding. Thanks to the skill and quick action of Dr. McCarthy and his amazing staff, the entire mass was successfully removed. Today, Petey is happy, healthy, and recovering so well—and that’s truly because of the compassion, professionalism, and expertise we experienced every step of the way. They didn’t just treat a patient—they cared for a family member. I’m beyond grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants the very best for their pets. Thank you for giving my boy more time and more tail wags 🐾❤️

I wanted to brag about Capital. We took our dog there last weekend for abdominal pain and found out he was covered in cancer. We decided to put him down. They allowed us to spend lots of time with our dog. They had a front room with lots of treats and was set up very cozy. When it came time to put him down the gave him propofol to calm him before they gave him the medication to stop his heart. He was so peaceful. About 3 days later we received a card from the clinic with a nose print and paw print. My kids loved seeing this. It was so very thoughtful. A few days after that we received his ashes. The box is so nice. It also came with hair clippings and a hard paw print. So thoughtful. Everything was so nice, as nice as it could be. They went above and beyond.

So pleased with my experience with this clinic. My weiner had stage 4 IVDD. They got him in for same day surgery. They are so kind. You can visit your furbaby at any hour of the day. They call with updates. The surgeon even calls with updates. Once you go home they call to check on your furbaby. My furbaby is progressing nicely and I pray I never need their services again but it's a comfort to know they are there 24/7.

Capital was able to see my cat at a time when no one else was open. The tech and the doctor were very nice and caring towards my cat. The only reason I deducted a star was because while the doctor was very nice, she spoke to my husband and I as if we understood medical terms and talked very fast. I ended up having to chatgbt and google what she was trying to tell us because it all sounded so scarey and our heads were absolutely spinning when we left. This is a GREAT emergency vet and while I hope my animals never get sick enough to have to come back, if they do, this is where I will bring them. Just need the doctors to remember, if a pet owner is there they not in a clear state of mind due to worrying about their companion potentially dying. Because of this, you must slow down and use plain English, like you're explaining it to a child. Another helpful thing would be to provide customers with literature, something they can read and better understand. Knowledge is power and can remove a lot of fear and anxiety. Thank you for helping us!!!

Excellent service. The Doctor helped me feel comfortable with options for my pet having a terrible time with his reaction to his 7th chemo treatment. Testing was performed to help me understand his bloodwork and things I can do for at home comfort care. I’m grateful to all involved. I’m glad to know your location. I had no idea you are so close and open 24/7. Pet parents need that comfort. Thank you!
