Veterinary Ophthalmology Services

This place goes above and beyond in everything they do! I have been bringing my older pug here for quite some time. I just started bringing my younger pug for some eye issues. They have done an amazing job. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pups eyeballs! I had an emergency over the weekend and the doctor on call called me within 15 minutes. When you combine the speciality skills and the 5 star customer service you get something pretty amazing! That goes for everyone there! The techs, front desk and management have always gone above and beyond as well!

Our Great Dane had a case of «cherry eye» and we heard good things about the work they had done with other dogs. After the first surgery the problem was not resolved. After they operated again it was better but not resolved. Now 4 years later my poor dogs eyes look like a Basset Hound’s and it looks as if he will eventually need to have more corrective surgery. I was contacted by VOS after posting a review which went a long way in redeeming them and asked to schedule a follow up. I am hopeful my poor middle aged Dane will be the better off for it.

I had an excellent experience here!
My dog had a previous injury in her left eye that has never been looked at by a specialist, and after she had green discharge come from her eye, I knew it was time for her to see one. Thankfully my dog’s eye health was great!
I saw Dr. Voyles, and she explained everything perfectly and took time to even draw the eye to show what was going on.
In fact, the entire staff was wonderful.
Oh, and the facility is GORGEOUS! All beautiful hardwood floors, big comfy couches, complimentary waters, French doors, you name it.
For an initial exam and ointment for my dog’s eye was $ 160. I felt that was fair for the fact that we went to see a specialist. I’m sure the price fluctuates depending on the problem though, so always call for a quote.

My english bulldog puppy had entropion surgery on December 18, 2014. I had been seeing Dr. Meredith L. Voyles since November for his eye issues. I was very nervous from the get go w/​this surgery, and I had made Dr. Voyles aware of my concerns… she assured me that she performed surgery on «many» bulldogs, and everything would be fine. The surgery went fine, and my puppy was in recovery when things went wrong… HORRIBLY wrong. He started having breathing issues, which is normal for english bulldogs but then things escalated quickly. I was asked to rush him to the the local emergency vet clic where within several minutes he died. Dr. Voyles and her associate were w/​me when he died at the clinic.
In Dr. Voyles defense, I will say that she tried to contact me after a couple of days… and I did NOT answer my phone. I couldn’t at the time, I was still in shock over what had happened.
I have grappled w/​writing this review over the last couple of months… it’s been very painful and difficult for me. I wanted to wait until I was emotionally ready, so that I could make an honest review instead of being emotional about it.
I don’t believe that Dr. Voyles did anything negligent to kill my puppy, but to be honest I really don’t know what happened… she has NOT contacted me NOR has the VOS clinic to explain to me what happened. The emergency clinic sent me a letter explaining their take on the situation… and of course they NEVER want to point fingers.
I would NOT recommend VOS clinic to anyone to perform surgery on their dogs. Specifically because IF there is an emergency situation they obviously do NOT have the means to help your animal. I don’t understand WHY I had to drive my puppy grasping for air to an emergency clinic. It’s a miracle we even made it there in one piece… I understand that emergencies happen, but this was horrible for me to experience. And then of course the absence of any explanation or even a card expressing condolences… talk about adding injury to insult.

My dog acquired glaucoma 18 months ago in her right eye. We whisked her to VOS immediately to seek their expert advice. Unfortunately, she did not respond to treatment. We had to make the sad decision to remove her eye. Fast forward to about a month ago and bad genes strike again… my poor sweet dog was struck with glaucoma in her remaining eye. We were warned this may happen if it was genetic but of course we hoped it wouldn’t happen. Again, no response to treatment.
My dog is just about the sweetest in the whole world and she’s been dealt a terrible hand. She was born with a severe defect in her rear leg so it was amputated at 4 months of age. Then glaucoma at age 4 ½ years, and then completely blind at age 6. Glaucoma is extremely painful and it can’t be left untreated… so, we made the most difficult of choices to date which was to remove her remaining eye. Clearly, I was emotional over this. VOS however, gave us every option and made us feel alright with the decision we made. Dr. Huskey and technicians Maggie and Andrea were especially sweet to us during this very difficult time.
I’m happy to report that Kangaroo, my sweet shiba inu, is doing extremely well given her many «handicaps». I give major praise to the wonderful professionals at VOS. Thank you!

I have been in some very very nice doctors offices. This facility trumps all and it’s an animal clinic. No I mean seriously it’s the nicest medical office I’ve ever been in. I mean look at the exterior; it’s cutesy colonial. Inside you enter the main lobby (yes there is more than one lobby) I was so flustered the day my kitty and I visited that I cannot remember for sure, but I do believe they have white marble floors in this main lobby. After I checked in and received my very small amount of paper work, we were sent to the second lobby and invited to eat the free snacks and sodas located in an adjoining room. The second lobby had, I swear it, no less than 10 overstuffed couches and I’m pretty sure a fire place plus two flat screen TVs. The day had been extremely stressful and as soon as I sat down in one of those overstuffed couches I completely checked out, until our names were called.
We had been referred to VOS by our regular vet at the Value Vet on Main Street in East Nashville. Our kitty Brisby showed up the evening before, squinting in one eye and upon closer inspection it appeared to be bleeding under the lens. This was extremely alarming and very early the next morning we rushed her to Value Vet. They said, when it comes to eyes and cats, it’s a very bad idea to take any chances and immediately sent a fax to the VOS people stating we had an emergency situation. So I found myself rushing home in the middle of a work day to pick up Brisby and run her over to VOS.
Brisby, bless her little heart, was so tolerant and patient the whole time we waited in the VOS lobby, even though she had already been to Value Vet earlier in the morning. She sat in her carrier, quiet as a mouse (just like her namesake: Mrs. Brisby from the Secret of NIMH). When we were called to the exam room she was weighed and measured and put up with it all. When the eye specialist came in, we wrapped her up in a towel, like a little purrito and the doc preformed a bunch of tests to try to determine what may be causing the issue. He said the most likely explanation was that she ‘smacked her face on something and the bleeding was caused by this’ since there was no scratch he could see. Since she was still active, eating and drinking it wasn’t likely to be anything more serious BUT she would need eye drops, an oral antibiotic and to return in a week, since many eye conditions may take a lot of time to develop.
Although I’m glad we went to the specialist I sort of wondered after looking over the invoice how each individual eye test that took two seconds of poking and prodding really was worth $ 20 each. I guess that’s how they pay for the marble floors. Not to sound too negative, they were lovely people and very accommodating. It actually didn’t turnout to be as expensive as I thought in the end and Brisby is back to being %100.
PS the towel purrito method is seriously the best way to administer medication to your cat, they can’t move and scratch you. It’s like the Thunder Jacket concept, they feel secure.
