Epic Specialty & Emergency Pet Care - Tampa Pet ER

This is my second experience with Epic, and once again, it was outstanding. Dr. Curry is truly the best surgeon. He makes you feel completely comfortable, takes the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, and genuinely gets to know both you and your dog. You don’t feel like just another client, you feel like family, and he treats you that way. My little boy Buck had TPLO surgery on his left leg last summer, and this time it was his right. Because of the incredible care we received the first time, there was no question we would come back to Dr. Curry. I’ve already recommended a friend who has since used him, and I would confidently recommend him to anyone. And it’s not just Dr. Curry, the entire team is exceptional. Jack is amazing, and everyone who answers the phones is kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They all take their time and make you feel at ease every step of the way. I truly can’t say enough great things about Epic. Thank you, Dr. Curry and the entire team. We’ll see you in eight weeks for Buck’s check-up.

I found out at 130 today that my dog had cancer, I called epic right after and they were able to get me in at 330 same day! Leslie was my first point of contact when call and she was amazing. Immediately made sure she had all the info to get all his records. Dr Josh was absolutely wonderful. He made me feel great about my decision to start chemo that same day. Her tech meg was equally amazing. She showed concern the entire time and made sure I knew I could contact her at any time with questions. Tiffany was great at check out as well and made sure I had all the info I needed for my future appointment. It's not easy when you find out your pup has cancer but this office makes it a lot easier to handle. Would highly recommend this office. They don't just handle cancer. They are also a 24hr emergency vet

Can’t recommend this place enough. They cared for my dog when he had consumed a lethal amount of dark chocolate and they saved his life. They were kind and compassionate and gave us regular updates when he was hospitalized. He’s back to himself again. We will be forever grateful to the Drs, medical staff, and full team. His sister is so happy to have him home.

It's never good if you have to be at a specialty clinic or emergency hospital, but if you do, Epic is a lovely place to be. Every person, from the front desk to the doctor, is kind and thoughtful and at the top of their game. The gentleness with my pets was so appreciated as were the clear explanations of the medical issued and the treatment options. I have no reservations in recommending Epic--hands down the best! Thanks Dr. Josh and team :-)

The best thing you can do is bring your baby here. I went to three different vets, including another emergency and specialty clinic, and none of them came close to the level of care I received here. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with compassion and urgency. They didn’t just care for my girl, they cared for me too. Dr. Joshua Lachowicz, the oncologist, delivered the difficult news about my dog’s tumor with such knowledge, empathy, and grace. It made all the difference during such an overwhelming time. Unlike the first ER we went to, this team took the time to explain everything, discussed costs before moving forward, and made sure I understood each step of my dog’s visit. They were transparent, kind, and incredibly professional. I will never go anywhere else in an emergency. The people here truly deserve the world for being more than just an emergency vet, they are compassionate humans who treat your pet like family when it matters most. Thank you to the entire team for taking such amazing care of my girl. ❤️ I just wanted to update here, Dr. Meeks is also an honorable mention. She is incredibly knowledgeable. I wish I could make epic my routine vet. All of the team is worth the money. They are not only caring but so incredibly knowledgeable. I will return here even if it’s just to say hi. Staff will give family level care from the front desk to the operating room. I seriously appriciate the entire team here. Thank you guy for all you do, and to do it with kindness and integrity is so rare for Tampa. Thank god for these people! ❤️
