I called the day before my appointment to tell them I needed to change my appointment as something came up for work. The minute I said it, she was like well you're not getting in until the end of June (one month away). I explained to her that I just needed one more shot for my series of vaccines. She says... we don't have any appointments and you'll have to start the series of vaccines all over again. Obviously I'm not going to do that so I got her records and called another vet. They were more than accommodating and squeezed me in one day later. It's too bad that I'll never go back... Dr Savage is really a great doctor. I really liked her, but I'm not going to deal with some nasty person at the front desk.

Do not be fooled by the SEO reviews. My experience with Dr. Kemp was horrible. I took my cat to see…read morethe vet, she was taken inside (they do not see pets in the same room with the owner like in normal vet practice) was returned after 2 minutes with an excuse that my cat is hissy and would not come out from the carrier. I offered to take her out so Dr. Kemp could examine her but that woman (dr.) declined and clearly had no interest in continuing the visit as if I am not welcomed. She seemed eager to end this session ASAP. Prior to taking my cat in I discussed my concerns over the phone with the vet tech and also mentioned I am looking to get flea treatment as a preventative measure they seemed excited about it thinking I will buy from them, but as soon as I mentioned to Dr. Kemp that I want a written prescription so I can get it from chewy as I have a coupon, her tone shifted. Finally after 2 minutes of talk, she said she will get me the prescription for gabapentin and revolution and disappeared for 25 minutes, just so she could drag out the visit and collect her fee for no service provided. I could hear her chit chatting with the staff. Then finally the vet tech came with gabapentin med, and told the front desk that the woman (dr.) would not prescribe Revolution because my cat had not been weighed, even though I had already offered to take her out for an exam and they had every chance to weigh her. They wanted me to come in again for follow up appointment while still charging me for no service. Total time with the doctor was 2 minutes. I am a seasoned cat rescuer and a foster parent with a fair share of problematic cats and vets. This is the worst form of greed and incompetency I have ever experienced. Edit: the cat carrier had 3 zipped sides that completely opens, if they really wanted to get her out they could have done so but they did not choose to.

It was our first time at OVRS so she made sure any and all questions were answered! Some even before we even had to ask! Dr. Sauerbrey was so incredibly kind, professional, and took her time explaining all of our options, giving her recommendations, but making sure at the end of the day our dog would have the best chances and best treatment possible. She was kind, empathetic, and so easy to work with. She answered all questions happily and was a joy to meet and work with.

Save yourself the time and headache of "shopping" around: This is ONLY place you want to take your…read morefurry loved one. Due to my sweet senior dog's proclivity for medical mysteries in the past year and a half, we've now sought care with OVRS three times (for three different reasons). Three times, they've saved my heart dog. And here's the thing: They do it all with a level of care, patience, warmth and professionalism that I've never experienced *anywhere* else, not just in the veterinary world. With so many emotional pet parents, their jobs must be unimaginably difficult and heartbreaking at times. But I've never seen anyone have a bad day, never felt rushed with my questions (and believe me, I had SO MANY), and never felt anything less than the only and most important person in the hospital, no matter how crowded the waiting room area was. This time around, Hurley had a hygroma that ruptured and turned necrotic, which needed a pretty extensive surgery, a skin flap and many, many staples. Drs. Fidell and Greene were excellent at intake, quickly diagnosing an issue that had baffled my local vet and sent us there in the first place. Dr. Greene managed to get me a surgical consult the same day, and although the surgeon's schedule was packed, they somehow found room the next week for my Hurley's procedure. Dr. McDonald-Lynch did the most incredible job with the incisions; her surgery is ART. I was prepared for the worst when I went to pick him up, and I was stunned by how good everything looked, less than one day after she cut open nearly his entire backside, removed the affected area and sutured him back together. How she and her team made what to me seemed like a pretty major surgery seem almost routine blew me away. I got texts from the operating suite from a wonderful surgical nurse named Alanna ("He's doing great under anesthesia!") and a photo immediately after. Later on that evening, I also received a text with a picture of my guy resting comfortably and smiling with the cutest sunflower blanky in his "room" for the night. You can call 24 hours a day and someone will update you like they have all the time in the world. You *can* schedule a visit, but the nurses in the back will love your pet like they are their own, and after our initial experience at OVRS, this helicopter dog mom had zero anxiety or need to make sure in person that her fur kid was OK. The receptionists talked to him over the counter while we waited, and even came out when it was slow to pet him. I watched more than one vet tech deal with a distraught owner with grace that would humble Mother Theresa. No one lost their cool or was anything but pacifying and kind and professional to a degree that made me want to stand up and clap for them. That CANNOT be easy. And the hugs! If you're a hugger, this is your place. A receptionist came around the counter to hug me when I was tearful about how I'd be able to afford the procedure. Alanna had a warm hand on my shoulder when she explained difficult things. Dr. McDonald-Lynch's eyes are so kind and her smile so genuine. Drs. Fidell and Greene were Johnny-on-the-spot with tissues and comforting words. Everything is so heartfelt and pure that it's hard to believe these people often only meet people like me on some of the worst days of their lives. All of the "extras" like that make a world of difference to someone who's stricken about leaving their beloved family member overnight (or for several days) in a stranger's care. These vets and their team are the best in the area, and it's not even close. They came to me with a Plan A, a backup plan if things went awry, and a backup plan for that backup plan, so I never had to panic if things weren't perfect at the first try ... but thank God and these people, they were. I know Hurley won't be around forever no matter what I do, but it's so, so important to my mental health that, at the end of our journey together, I can tell myself that I did everything possible for him. If this visit would have ended differently, I would still be able to have peace through my grief that I gave him the best possible chance by bringing him to OVRS. There wouldn't be any thoughts of, "What if I'd taken him somewhere else?" If he hadn't been saved there, he couldn't have been saved anywhere. I thank God and the folks at OVRS for saving my Hurley, but even if there was nothing to be done, I would still stand on everything I said above so that someone like you could hopefully understand just what kind of wonderful they have at this hospital. When it comes to your furbaby's life, don't waste precious time anywhere else. This place is the ONLY place you want to be.

This is really important to me to maintain the health of my senior pup and make sure he gets the testing he needs. When I arrived, I noticed a sign the said 'Welcome' and had his name listed. Before we were placed in a room, he got a cute little bandana that they sprayed with pheromones to help him stay calm. It's little thoughtful touches like this that really matter and help you and your pet feel at ease. After his testing was done, I spoke to Doctor Boatman who was extremely thorough. I could tell that she very thoroughly read and digested his previous records and his current tests we came in for because when she spoke with me, she was very clear and concise with the best plan of action moving forward. She's a very straight shooter which I greatly appreciate. My appointment was at 5:30 and I didn't leave until 7 when they closed. She actually took the time to speak very frankly with me and answer all my questions. I really appreciate the time she took to explain everything and give her very honest opinion. I did not feel rushed at any point even though they were closing, and I felt like I was able to ask all my questions and get satisfactory answers. I also appreciate their later hours as I was able to get to my appointment after work without having to rush. The staff was very friendly and even came in to tell me how well my Nicco did with his tests and give him pets!
