Animal Eye Care

They were extremely nice and genuinely cared about my lil one. My pup Star is always super nervous around people and acts out. She was so calm and good for them and they were so patient with her. I wish these same people worked at a regular vet bc I would travel 2 hours just to have her see a vet that actually cared. Thank yall for all yall did for my baby Star. We appreciate yall.

Animal Eye care Veterinary Ophthalmology at Wake Forest is a great place to take your pet. The staff and the doctors are nice and efficient. The place is clean and the appointments are well coordinated. Their charges are reasonable. I would recommend this place for anyone interested in pet eye care.

If your animal is suffering from eye problems this is the place to go. My 15 year old Lhasa Apso Molly has been dealing with recurring corneal ulcers. Dr. Gift and Karen are both amazing and care about the animals. Most vets take week to get you in or charge you an extra emergency fee. Not them they get your pet in and taken care of as quick as possible. The appointments are also timely. They even will ship your dogs eye drop refills to you which is great when my dog will be on these drops the rest of her life. Thank you animal eye care.

Our 11 year old Min Pin is our fur baby. He was diagnosed with diabetes in January 2020 and went blind in late April 2020. It was upsetting & heartbreaking. I was referred to Animal Eye Care by our vet. Dr. Gift and his staff are so nice, empathetic & welcoming from my initial phone call, to the initial consult, to cataract removal surgery. They have a system in place, due to Covid-19 that is well organized. They are very informative. I can not say enough. PLUS my pup has his eyesight back. It is amazing. Thank you Dr. Gift and staff. You are all wonderful!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gift and Karen. They were super supportive and informative when I brought my cat in for an exam. She had a mass in her eye. He gave me several options for treating, or not treating. Ultimately we chose to have the eye removed. They were super easy to work with on drop off and pick up. Karen let me know what was happening when. When I went in to pick up the cat they were quick, but thorough with their post-operative instructions. Everything was on a printed sheet- super easy to read. They gave me the meds she needed. Our cat is healing really well, and had only one day where she wasn't feeling well. We are on her 3rd day post-operatively, and she seems back to her"normal" self. I know that a large part of that is due to the care she received on the day of surgery. Many thanks to this excellent team!

Dr. Gift and his staff have been instrumental in preserving our dogs vision after our little buddy suddenly suffered from lens luxation requiring emergency surgery. This all meanwhile helped us discover that he was also suffering from glaucoma and had we not had this issue addressed, our dog of 6 years would have certainly suffered from blindness sooner or later. Our dog recovered from surgery and is doing well, his vision has recovered and the ocular pressures have decreased with routine medications - a cost that is well worth it as it preserves his quality of life and our comfort in knowing our dog is healthy and visual. Thanks Animal Eye Care for your continued care for our dog. Woof!

My 7-year terrier mix had a large corneal ulcer on her left eye; after 5 weekly visits to her vet, she'd exhausted all of her options and recommended I call Animal Eye Care. I called on Monday morning at 10:30 and the receptionist asked if I could have her there at 11:00 and I said yes. We left Raleigh and arrived at their front door at 10:59 a.m., the nurse came and got Mattie at 11:00 and at 11:14 she returned with her and said Dr. Gift had completed the procedure and would be calling me in a few minutes to explain. And he did; I can't tell you the relief that I felt, knowing that he not only had taken care of the problem but he also told me how sweet and gentle my little girl was. I told him thank you and also if it weren't for COVID I would be hugging his neck. He is wonderful and professional and I highly recommend this eye care center and Dr. Gift and his wonderful assistant, Marissa who took care of Mattie and time with me when she brought her out to me and explained the medications to put in her eyes. The overall experience was absolutely wonderful. Thank you Dr. Gift, Marissa and the staff at Animal EyeCare in Wake Forest!!

My little pitty Ruby had been having an eye issue that my normal vet could not identify. Unfortunately, by the time of her appointment, Ruby had gone blind in her affected eye. Immediately Dr. Gift was able to determine the issue. Uveal Melanoma lead to a cataract, vision loss and extreme pain. Her eye was removed that day, no waiting! Everyone in the office was extremely kind and patient with me as I was a wreck. The procedure was completed and Ruby is doing great! I'm a nervous dog Mom and asked to send pictures in for confirmation that things are going OK. The office replied within minutes! I feel like this team truly cares. THANK YOU!
