Veterinary Specialists of North Texas

I love this place and have been using them for years. I trust Dr. Wilson when she tells me what is going on with my dog. They are always upfront and honest about what is going on and what the different options are moving forward. The staff know who you are, know your animal, and care about them. It shows in everything they do. I drive 2.5 hours to bring my dog in because I know this is where she will get the best care. A picture of the butter bean for any dog tax!

Dr. Rodriguez and staff (Kimberly) were absolutely wonderful. We were referred here from our family veterinarian because it was thought or cat (Big Boy) may of had a cancerous bladder tumor. Of course we were pleasantly surprised to find out he only had bladder stones. Still have to get him heal from that, but to us it was the best $350 we’ve spent in a very long time. Thank you for the awesome work and good news.

Great service always! A couple of years ago they saved our puppy's life. He is now very healthy and happy. Frosto is a little celebrity there and they treat him like family. Thank you for truly caring.

From Morgan and the front desk to their techs and all of their internal medicine doctors and oncologists; this is the place to go to should you need an assessment and/or treatment for your beloved pet. Our Lab has chronic pancreatitis and borderline Cushing’s Disease. She saw Dr. Michelle LaRue for an urgent followup from an Emergency Hospital visit in the Mid-Cities. Dr. LaRue was able to do a CT scan immediately and determine the best course of treatment. That’s a major plus as the specialist vets here do their own CT scans and can do a lot of the blood panels onsite. There is only one such extensive practice in the DFW area that has a such a large dedicated number of internal medicine doctors in one place. They are easy to get to and are not inflated in their cost of services as are other specialists I have visited over the years. They order relevant tests to your pet’s condition and the doctors here consult with each on cases as well as stay very current on the latest research and treatments. Another advantage is they communicate and work with your vet as well and share electronic records with them. What a concept, right? Lastly, I love that they are co-located with Fort Worth Animal Emergency Hospital and Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center’s Fort Worth location. The 3 businesses are separate entities, but they do and can refer to each other if indicated. We had moved to the Mid-Cities but for only another 10-15 minutes, we could have taken our girl to the Fort Worth Animal Emergency Hospital where she could have seen Dr. LaRue or another VSNT doctor the next morning. Lesson learned, but I wanted to mention it here as having these 3 businesses co-located is a major bonus, too, for you and your pet.

Amazing staff! The drs, tech and receptionists were all so kind and helpful. This was difficult to watch our sweet Tito go through, but they made the process fairly easy for us. They always explained what was happening and what to expect. Dr Cook and Lauren answered all our questions and showed care and compassion toward Tito. This helped make this difficult time so much easier for us. Thank you for caring for our silly fur baby. I think he might actually miss Lauren!

I wish I could give them 10 starts for how amazing they are!! From the wonderfully compassionate front desk staff to the knowledgeable technicians, Rosie and Ashley, to the incredible Dr. Allstadt and Dr. LaRue, we are lucky to have them caring for our boy. They always take the time to answer all the questions we have and we never feel rushed during our visits.

Our 4 year old German Shepherd was diagnosed with a highly aggressive cutaneous melanoma earlier this year. They have graciously taken the time to discuss all of our options and are honest about their opinions on the best treatment for him. We know he is in the best hands with him and we are so blessed to have the time with him. Thank you all so much for everything you do for us and the other families going through difficult situations.

Al Evans is deceased. Gloria Evans now is Lacy Evans owner.
Dr. Mora has been Lacy’s vet. for 12 months, and took excellent care of Lacy, but she now moved and we were assigned to Dr. Berney who we have only met once, but love him very much. We are so thankful for everyone at VSNT.💕

Our 10 yr old golden retriever, Bentley, is being treated for primary lung cancer by the wonderfully team at VSNT. He has had one lung lobe removed and did his 6th of 8 chemo treatments today. He is thriving under their excellent care and what we initially thought would be a diagnosis that would dramatically reduce his life expectancy, we now have hope that he will have many more months of a normal life! He actually loves his time there and they love him!!

My dog Daisy had been unwell for some time when we were referred to VSNT. We saw Dr Burney, who quickly set both Daisy and I (!) at ease. I was impressed with the way things were clearly explained, and questions answered, so that I could make an informed decision about the way forward. After the visit, I was provided with a comprehensive written copy of our discussions, which was very helpful. Daisy is now doing a lot better, and Dr Burney has kept my regular vet up to date on steps taken. Really good experience despite the stressful situation.

This location was recommended to me by my primary vet after my 6mo old kitten was showing signs of illness. She ended up having cancer and passed away but they did everything in their power to diagnose, test and heal her. They allowed me time and space with my little one before and after euthanization & we’re very supportive and informative with test results and suggestions throughout the entire process. I would hope I wouldn’t need to come back here but I would trust them with any of my fur babies in the future.

I found VSNT on google search. I took my 6 year old Aussie to them for fibrosarcoma and I could not be more pleased for everything they did. She stayed a month and I was called or text everyday she was there with how she was doing. Dr. Cook, Lauren and the other members of the staff including all at the reception desk were great. We will continue follow-up visits. I want to thank them for taking such good care of my pup.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about VSNT!! Amazing staff - from the friendly reception team (Morgan is fabulous and diffused my anxiety with her kindness as soon as I walked in the building) to the caring and compassionate technicians and proactive referral coordinator. Dr. Burney was so thorough and gentle with my french bulldog puppy, Haira. He gave us some much-needed answers and guidance. This place far exceeds the standards in veterinary medicine, and I'm so grateful to their entire team. ❤

We met with Dr. Rodriguez for our Millie. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma shortly after we adopted her. Everyone that I encountered at this facility was very kind and compassionate. We unfortunately lost Millie 3 month later. To our surprise we received the sweetest card from everyone at VSNT. You guys are the best!

VSNT took the utmost care with our 5 month old King Cavalier. She was as happy going in as she was coming out. That's rare. I put my full trust in the hands of these professionals. Thank you for the cardiology referral to A&M

Everyone at VSNT is nothing short of amazing. Not only did Dr. Bailey and her crew save our kitty cat Molly’s life, but they care for her as if she was their own. She medically boards frequently and the entire staff is extremely communicative and personable! Molly turned 15 years young on New Years Day and the whole crew made her a cake ( with treats of course) and gave her extra birthday lovings! We are so impressed by EVERYONE at VSNT! Thank you all for being so amazing!

We were so so incredibly lucky to start our Lymphoma treatment at this amazing specialist. Dr LaRure, Rosie (her technician) and We could never forget our favorite’s behind the desk; Darryl and Morgan! Everyone treats our sweet Leila with so much love that she runssss to Rosie every week! Though I know we have a long road, I couldn’t be more blessed that we have this amazing team watching our girl. From the front desk, to the technician, to the veterinary oncologist….everyone is constantly looking out for our baby and never makes it feel like a vet office (even for our Leila), but like another home :) Thank you to the VSNT team for turning our luck around with our spunky warrior

Dr. Derek Burney is the most caring and knowledgeable doctor! My English bully was referred to Dr. Burney by our regular veterinarian. I brought Diega there when she was not doing well...I thought I’d be putting her down. Dr Burney assessed her immediately and cared for her like she was his own dog. He talked me through her cancer diagnosis, treatment, lab work and made me understand what was going on.
It was so comforting to know my pup was in such great hands. She Is doing so much better now. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. We love you!❤

When my 8 year old lab mix was diagnosed with Lymphoma, I was referred to VSNT for treatment options. My veterinary oncologist was Dr. Sara Allstadt and I don’t have ENOUGH positive things to say about her and her care. She is definitely knowledgeable and qualified and I felt like I was in the best hands possible. I did not feel like she was trying to “sell” me anything- she truly was an advocate for my dog’s health and well being as well as my own. In depth discussions were had about averages and likelihoods, and I trusted her completely. Unfortunately, there was not much that could be done for my dog, but the support that she offered throughout this terrible diagnoses was invaluable to me. I felt she TRULY cared about me and my pup and was also genuinely upset by his declining health. She is humble and caring and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who is needing veterinary care.

Five stars is simply NOT enough! Our primary care vet advised me to get our Welsh Terrier to the Ft Worth Emergency Animal Hospital immediately for 24 hr care so he could be moved into VSNT the next morning. The next morning at 7:45ish, I was receiving communication from staff at VSNT they were moving Snap and getting tests. Within minutes of this notification, Dr. Allstadt called to walk me through exactly what Snap's present condition was and what the plan was for the insulinoma. Snap received 24 hr care for three days while all necessary tests were run and results received. BOTH Dr. Allstadt and Dr. Bailey were extremely communicative, caring and empathetic (I was a crying mess) while this process played out and they had a plan from the beginning. I could not be happier with the care my little love received and feel lucky to have Dr. Allstadt monitoring him throughout this continued journey. I truly can't thank Dr. Allstadt, Dr. Bailey and ALL the staff at VSNT enough for taking such great care of my boy! Our primary vet said "VSNT is the gold standard" and he was so right!! THANK YOU!

Our pup Waylon, a 7-year-old golden, was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma and unfortunately didn't live very long after being diagnosed. It was a traumatic and terrible experience for our family. The only bright spot, was that Dr. Burney and team helped us with grace and compassion more than I ever could have dreamed. They made a terrible experience the best it could be and helped us give Waylon the best last few months, we could give him. We'll always be grateful.
