The staff are so great here! Been taking my pup here for 5 years and always receive the best care. They are very communicative and check up on him after the appointment. They also sent a card after my older pup passed away. Appreciate their service! read more

Gladstone Veterinary Clinic - Entrance - Veterinarians Near Me - Milwaukie, Oregon

The entire team at Gladstone Veterinary Clinic is amazing. They do a great job of listening to concerns, taking care of our dog and winning over his trust. Our dog is rather particular about going to the vet and we've had some bad experiences elsewhere but I know that he's always going to be treated with kindness at Gladstone Veterinary. I highly recommend them to anyone that I know who is looking for a vet. read more

We've been taking our pets here for over 10 years. The entire staff clearly loves animals. I love that they are a fear free clinic and my pets love that as well. I can't imagine trusting any other vet clinic with the care of my pets. Dr ten Broeke and Dr Winkler are phenomenal at what they do as is their entire staff. Highly recommend. If I could give more stars, I would. read more

Very professional, yet warm, practice. As a visitor from out of the area, I knew my dog would need a vet exam before receiving his monthly Librela injection. The vet took her time to give a thorough exam and never has my dog received more consideration to reduce his anxiety. The admin side of the office is top-notch, from scheduling to intake to prescription refills. Also, they clued me into Costco's fantastic prices for pet meds - I'd had no idea! read more

If you want to spend all of your money on their "recommendations", this is certainly the place for you. Unless you spend money there they treat you like ####. There are so many other vets that actually care. They are in it for the $$$$ guaranteed. Do your self and your fur babies a favor and look elsewhere. read more

2 years ago, I took my labradoodle for her ovariohysterectomy (spay). The dog was a 1 year old. After a 2 hour procedure, they said the surgery was not successful and the dogs still has her ovaries because they could not find them. I was billed a full amount for the surgery, and they said they would waive some charges on her next attempt. Something like $70 off from a surgery costing over $1000. Please use Willamette Valley Animal Hospital across the street. You will thank me later. read more

From 5 stars to 2 stars. Sorry We had 2 occasions where our dog needed to be seen immediately. First, when my dog was extremely lethargic, shaking, diarrhea, not eating or drinking water for more than 8 hours. I told them exactly that and they set an appointment in 2 weeks and to just monitor our dog until the appointment. I was crying the whole night afraid something bad will happen. Called Emergency vet. Second, my dog was limping bad and we found out he had a very swollen paw. He cries when he puts his paw down. Called the vet and they did the same thing, scheduled him in 2 weeks. We called Banfield the same day and they took care of our dog immediately. We loved Gladstone Veterinary but we are very disappointed. read more

I'm not on social media so I don't know of a better way to say THANK YOU so very much to all the people that helped get my dog off McLoughlin Blvd near the car dealerships this afternoon. She got away from our friend while leashes were being switched during a haircut. Worst part is the id was on a leash that wasn't on her and she had nothing except the chip in her neck. One of you folks were nice enough to take her to the nearest clinic which was this one. They ran the chip and called right away. Doggie (and marriage) saved. INVEST IN A CHIP IF YOU HAVEN'T YET. Again, thanks to what I understand were 20 wonderful people in the street trying to corral our dog and Gladstone Vet Clinic. read more

I have 4 dogs that have been going to Gladstone vet for about 6yrs. I have always received above and beyond service when we go in for anything. Everyone is always pleasant, patient and answer all my many questions. I don't ever feel rushed or pushed into anything I don't want or need. Not only do the ladies provide great in person service, I always get fast responses whenever I have texted the techs. The couple of times my dogs situation was more serious they referred me to Tualatin Emergency who are also great. I suggest also getting CareCredit it has come in handy and no interest. I am very pleased with Gladstone Vet-from front office staff to all those behind the scene. read more

About 2 months ago we decided to seek a second opinion from our previous vet. I called gladestone vet to schedule an urgent appointment for my dog, left a message and received a call about 7 hours later. In that 7 hours I found a different vet that saw my dog within an hour and we had a prescription in hand...problem solved. We never went to gladestone vet. Just now I received a text message from Gladestone vet telling me my dog is "due for recommended health care". They never saw my dog, they can't recommend a thing. Had we gone there I would've felt compelled to urgently call and feel like I had neglected my dogs health. Predatory scam. read more

Horrible customer service. I signed up for pet insurance through them but they never sent the medical records to the insurance company (as promised). I literally called them 5 times regarding this but they just ignored me. Their "vets" are always in a conference room and can't be bothered to actually speak with you. I was told I would receive a call from the "vet" but only received a text insinuating I was not respectful in my communication? This is false. I simply asked why the records haven't been sent yet. The insurance company said they have been requesting the records from Gladstone vet clinic for 2 months with no response. Tanya ten Broeke finally responded she was on medical leave and was working to get caught up. Hey Tanya, the world doesn't stop when you are on medical leave and using that as an excuse for not doing your job is pathetic. This place SUCKS. read more

Going to the vet is my dogs worst nightmare and I haven't had much luck in the past. My first visit at Gladstone with their team and Tanya ten Broeke was superb. They did everything they could to help my dogs anxiety and nerves, and Dr. Tanya ten Broeke spent 15 minutes on the phone discussing a care plan. Highly recommend. You can just feel the love they have for animals when talking with them. read more

One of the most expensive operations in the metro area w/ poor communication bordering on dishonesty. We took our 8-months old, indoor rabbit to be spayed here. Upon scheduling, we were told a pre-examination was required, that this was standard procedure for all clinics. This would require an advance appointment for $82. In this same call, we were also told the spay cost would only be shared during this pre-examination but would likely be "a couple hundred dollars." This should have been my first red flag. ***Upon calling upwards of ten clinics in the Portland metro area afterward, I would find most clinics factor this pre-examination into their overall spaying procedure costs. Thus one appointment for spaying is typically all that is necessary. The two clinics that required pre-examinations charged between $40-60.*** The next part is what bothers me most... In the pre-examination, our indoor rabbit was declared essentially in perfect health yet she still needed $250.50 worth of blood tests in order to be eligible to be spayed. This was never mentioned over the phone which was quite misleading. On top of that, the scale of spay procedure costs ranged between $437.68 and $567.68(!) So in essence, we found ourselves looking at a minimum of $770.18 to have our rabbit spayed. Wow. To give you an idea, the other clinics I contacted in Portland metro charged between $115-$320 total for everything associated with this procedure. Feel free to follow up on these numbers and make your own decision with your pet. I hope you will not have the same experience we had. In fact, I've never even considered writing a Yelp review but was too incensed by this not to. read more

For more than forty years my wife and I have had dogs, often two or three at a time. Of course, that means that we have done a lot of business with veterinarians. We switched to Gladstone Veterinary Clinic when our previous vet retired and sold his practice. Our perception of the Gladstone Veterinary Clinic is that the veterinarians and technicians are competent and caring but their services are very expensive. They also seem to be eager to sell us every service possible. If money were no object, we would probably continue to do business with them. Since cost is a consideration, we have switched to a veterinary clinic that is less monetarily oriented. read more

We are so fortunate to have this clinic recommended when we moved to Oak Grove. Our latest pet was abandoned, leaving us to try and take care of a very sweet dog of 8 years. Seemed lost as his family of 8 yrs just left him. He had bad eyes and very bad hearing. After a quick once over, we knew we needed a good (bulldog familiar)vet. And what we got from Jess, Chai and Dr. Snyder was the most caring visit. We figured it was going to be very expensive but, it was so thorough, comforting and by George, I think they got it! We went home with meds, direction and such knowledge of what was wrong and the certainty that he would get better. And then, a great discounted bill because we rescued this baby with all his sickness and neglect. He'll be on eye meds for life but he can see and hear. A loving friend! Thank you for taking care of Mister Squiggs and his new family. You gals were just what we needed. I'd definitely tell anyone...Gladstone Vet is where I take my English Bulldogs. read more

See all

This was my first visit to Gladstone Veterinary Clinic.I had a sick 6 week old kitten, and called them 30 minutes before closing on a Friday evening, fully thinking that they wouldn't see a new patient under those circumstances. Instead, they told me to come right in. The clinic is clean and modern. The front desk staff were polite and efficient. The vet tech was knowledgeable and thorough. The vet was excellent and presented all the options. They seem to really enjoy what they do. The bill was in-line with what I expected to pay for the services provided. I have received not one, but two calls from them to see how the kitten is doing (much better!). I highly recommend this clinic. I will be returning. read more

Absolutely pathetic customer service. Absolutely pathetic client intake process.After arriving at 8:15 and being put on a waitlist because there were others in front of me and then after sitting in the reception room for an hour I never even got in to see a vet!! Their intake process sucks. They actually have to have an office manager because people get so upset because they've been sitting in rooms and in the lobby for hours waiting to see a vet... Their office manager told me that I obviously had the wrong vet--if I couldn't sit and wait hours and hours to see a vet--even though I've been going there for 5 years. Yeah you're right my time is more valuable than yours and I will be finding another vet that actually appreciates the clients that they have because this vet absolutely has no customer service at all. Save yourself the time and insults by this office manager because your time is not as valuable as theirs. read more

I am writing this review because I want people to know that they are very expensive the hospital across the street from Fred Meyer's charged me $350 for the exact same thing that I got done for my little dog who is choking for $1200 the vet said she wasn't convinced that she was choking and I had been through this with Annie for my gosh 10 times at least and three of them are over there which I can hardly believe because they are so expensive it's ridiculously expensive I don't even get my dogs food anymore it used to be the cheapest place I could get my dogs prescription food but I had to figure out another way because I asked her not to do x-rays and I had a reason because I've been through this nine other times and she took two x-rays and she charged me for him and yesMy dog is still with me and I'm thankful for that but they price gouge like bad if a hospital can charge me 350 bucks for something that they did for 1200 and 600 of it was I told him not to do it anyway they get a zero for me bad bad don't go there they suck I did not mean to leave that one star I do not even wanna give them one star I just couldn't get rid of it read more

This Clinic is fantastic. I brought my dog in a few times already and the level of professionalism is great. They've treated him for his normal routine checkups and for an injury, and in all times he was actually happy to go to the clinic! (It's probably due to all the treats and love..) Definitely recommend. read more

THEY COMPLETELY DEAFENED MY DOG, HE'S MISERABLE, JUMPY, AND NERVOUS. They gave my dog a medication for an ear infection that caused him to be completely deaf and then dodged my calls and told me it wasn't enough of a priority for them to call me back in a timely manner. Hearing is more important than sight in a dog, and they treated us like we were bothering them. Shame on this place, all about money, no compassion for animals Now my dog is deaf, and gets to suffer for the rest of his life. DO NOT COME HERE read more

We have been here twice for two separate animals and were so pleased with the care and the pricing, we plan on going only here. Both times we visited the vets spent a decent amount of time with the animal. All other vets seem to just rush us in and out. They even took my dog outside to watch his movements to pinpoint where his pain was coming from. I didn't feel like they were trying to push any unnecessary treatments on us. read more

We've taken all of our pets here since forever, probably because it's two blocks from our house. Three things you should know: - The care here is very expensive. I haven't gotten out of here once without paying at least $180 for anything. I've had a cat spayed for $280, a dog spayed for almost $500. When our times have been rough, we have gone elsewhere for service. The prices seem almost inflated compared to other clinics. They recommend treatment without regard to what could wait or what is essential, which is an area I think they could improve. Unlike other reviews, I have seen probably every vet in this clinic and I didn't think the vets were any more attentive than anywhere else. - If they prescribe you any type of drug for your pet, ask them to give you the prescription. They were going to charge me $180 for a prescription. Many pharmacies now dispense pet medications as well. I went down the road to Walgreens and got the prescription filled for $40. - Provide your telephone number at your own risk. They will call you like a drunk ex-girlfriend, even if your pet has been in there within the week. This is probably the thing that irritates me the most about this place. I've gotten three calls in the last week. We get postcards all of the time, too. I understand veterinarians are invaluable parts of society, and I would do anything for my pets, but I don't need voicemails every other day to make me feel like a terrible pet mother because I haven't brought my pets in this week. I'm not trying to single-handedly finance anybody's new Subaru around here. read more

From day one, we've been taking our pup here and the staff has been nothing short of incredible. They are friendly, professional, and compassionate. Their love and care for our animal friends is clear as day--oftentimes going above and beyond the services they bill for. We feel totally comfortable anytime we leave our puppy here knowing she will be given the best care and attention within the power of the wonderful folks who work here. Very grateful to have this crew so close to our home. read more

While Gladstone Vet Clinic has always had great service, they seriously price gouge, upsell, and never let you leave for under $200. After taking my retriever there for the first 6 years of her life and spending a ton of money for check ups and other things I just got tired of coming in and constantly being pressured in to spending more money. The final straw was when they refused to authorize a flea medication prescription through an online cheaper way to get the medication than the absorbent prices they charge. We have changed vets and are much happier. I gave them 6 years of business with no change. I just can't pay their huge prices anymore. read more

I have been coming here for over seven years now. I don't have to visit the office that often, usually just for the once a year check up for my dog and any visits for shots he might need but every time I go in the office staff is very nice and friendly. The new thing they have that I LOVE is the ability to create a log in on the website and view your pet's information. It gives you information visits and any upcoming things so you can plan for them a little better than just getting a card right before things need to be done. I usually see Dr. Ward since she is who I started with years ago but as she has been unavailable I've seen other doctors, all of them being of a high standard! It's great when a doctor will come out in the lobby and just say hi and visit if they aren't swamped. read more

I came to them last year with an emergency, and became a loyal regular customer. I've worked with Dr. Ward and Dr. Ten Broeke, as well as former associate vet Dr. Sheaffer, who have been excellent in providing care for my bird. Their examinations are thorough, they take TONS of time with you (of course, unless they have a critical emergency roll in) and their information is current. They're open to consulting with specialists, researching and input on treatments I've heard of elsewhere. Their techs and admin staff are wonderful, too...competent, friendly and personable. Gladstone Vet is about 10 minutes farther from the clinic where my other animals have been patients for the past 10 years, but they'll be getting my business from now on. Oh yeah---they're open late on weekdays, and they keep Saturday hours. Wooohoo! read more

They are not knowledgeable when it comes to birds. Was told that my bird has chlamydia and find out (from a trusted source) over $130 later that it's just allergies. They did not even check up with me at all after the appointment to make sure she was doing okay (like they said they would). When the appointment was over I was still not given even a guess of a diagnosis. They had a bunch of things they thought it might be (which I understand that it's hard to narrow down a diagnosis without testing) however they threw out a large spectrum of different things it could have been which was not helpful. The vet didn't seem to have a firm understanding on birds like I had hoped coming from an exotic vet that sees birds. Additionally, I waited for a long period of time as she went from room to room seeing other animals between my visit. I will say that she handled my bird very well and was very gentle and patient, which I greatly appreciated. It's very possible that she knows dogs and cats very well so don't be detoured to try her out as a vet for your furry friends but my suggestion is that you find a different veterinary for your avian pets. read more

I have a foster cat that is a lost pet that needed some medical care. She was really underweight when my friend and i found her because she had been on the streets for so long, so we took her here because this is my friends regular vet and is close to her home. Everyone at this clinic is so kind and considerate. Dr. Tanya ten Broeke is so informative and easy to talk to. She is an amazing veterinarian who knows so much about current vet medicine and had a few really good recommendations on how to get this foster cat I have more comfortable and calm. They did so much to help this foster cat I have and donated some of their time and energy to her knowing she is a foster cat that will eventually be adopted to someone else. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for their help and recommendations. They are far away from where I live to make them my regular vet, but if I lived closer I would take my resident pets here for their care no question. I highly recommend them. read more

We have been coming here for a few years now with our cats and have received nothing but wonderful service. A few years ago we lost two of our kittens to our neighbors dogs and they were so nice and supportive. We recommend all our friends here. :) read more

My cat hates them, but I've learned he doesn't like any of the vets. He's a little prejudiced. But I think they are quality care and decently priced. read more

Almost made me pay $77 for an ear medication I found online for 12...way overly priced. Also paid almost 300 to get my dogs ears cleaned. Companion pet is wayyy more reasonably priced and the staff is great if anyone needs another recommendation! read more

I have been taking my 10 year old dog to Gladstone Vet for many years. Their service has been okay but their constant need to up-sell and get EVERY penny out of you is absolutely ridiculous. I will be looking for a new veterinary clinic since our last visit was a waste of time (and thankfully no money because I walked out). They tried to charge me for another exam ($80) on a follow up booster shot when we already paid for the exam for him to get his shots during his first visit. If this is how you run your business then I will be taking mine elsewhere. I want to support a place that actually has the animals best interest in mind- BEWARE. read more

Updated 5 star review. Great vet and would highly recommend. My dog had a very strong allergic reaction including infection in the ears and within 24 hours with prescribed meds was cleared up read more

Paid these people to take x-rays of our cat and get back to us as we were told there could be something life threatening wrong. Months go by and we did reach out a couple times to be told that the x-rays hadn't been examined yet. We only ever got one call from the front desk to let us know that they were still waiting on the results. Our cat got better thankfully after over month of being sick, however we never got results or any direction from the vet. Now they are messaging me telling me it's time for a regular health check, as if I would ever give them another dime. read more

The staff at Gladstone were professional, but not very caring. For me, the experience was a lot like a used car lot. At our first visit, I was in tears about the cost they proposed to me, and never once did any staff person offer condolences, or even a tissue. At that point, nobody bothered to tell me that the medicines recommended to me would be 200% more on site than I could get at the drug store or Amazon. I am more interested in a veterinarian that has both a professional staff, and a staff who shows they care. read more

Truly the best medicine in the Portland-metro-Milwaukie area. I will always bring my animals here

I've waited a long time to write this review. I wanted to have a cooling off period and make sure what I have to say is valuable. First, there are a couple of things that I have seen in other reviews that I agree with whole-heartedly 1) they have very high regard for my pet and 2) they have very high prices. One thing that I didn't see in other reviews - we never saw the same vet twice in a row. I really like having a relationship with a specific dr and it was frustrating not to have that. I, like others, first came to this clinic as the result of an emergency. The care was excellent. Every person there is very caring and sweet toward their four footed clients. Dr. Ten Broeke attended our girl that first night and we are ever so grateful. We stayed with them for approximately five years. We followed every recommendation that they gave us regarding care and treatment with the exception of preventative flea applications. Ultimately, our girl was diagnosed with low thyroid. The medication that they prescribed was going to be $90 a month for the rest of her life. I asked the dr that we were seeing that day about purchasing the prescription online as a way to save money. She agreed that they were happy to provide the prescription. I went home and looked on the internet. You may have surmised that I am very cautious with my girl, given the fact that I refuse the unnecessary flea treatment, and you would be right. I would never do anything to compromise her health in any way. After researching the safety of purchasing on line pet medications I came across a flyer on the FDA website http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm048164.htm After reading through this information I found a website that was recommended by the FDA and went there to order the prescription. Later that day I received an email from the website (Allvetmeds.com) saying that Gladstone had refused to confirm my prescription. This started a flurry of back and forth phone calls with the clinic. Let's say it was heated. At one point one of the assistants accused me, in a condescending tone, that I was putting my girls safety in jeopardy. They finally agreed to give me a paper prescription and when I received it, in the envelope, was a copy of the EXACT SAME flyer from the FDA describing how to ensure you are getting safe medications! So the bottom line is that even though they say they will support you purchasing medications in reality, they will not. You can send the paper copy of the prescription in to the online store but you will have to do that every time you get a refill because Gladstone will not confirm the prescription over fax or phone. Our girl has had three brushes with death (lest you think I'm a neglectful mom - the first was a reaction to ACE that another vet had given her, the second was hemorragic gastroenteritis and the third was an allergic reaction) and as a consequence we have spent a small fortune for her care over the years. As I said before, we did everything that was recommended and the care was excellent but when they became grasping and greedy, suggesting that I was putting our girls health at risk to save a few bucks, I had to draw the line. If you have endless funds and don't mind seeing a different vet every time you go, this is a good clinic. read more

This clinic clearly knows what they are doing and giving!! Thee best care and concern...They had the knowledge to recognize that my son's dog was not aggressive, but extremely anxious at treatment. They bent over backwards to make him feel better about vets. He actually licks them and shakes his paw. Don't get me wrong, he still has a bit of a fear and will growl and show his teeth, but they are such trained professionals that they carry on, giving him no fear on their part. Soooo glad we found this place. Would recommend to anyone!! read more

Gladstone Veterinary Clinic boarded my hedgehog from March 26th, 2015 to March 28th, 2015. This clinic has been wonderful! They took very good care of my little guy and handled him frequently (keeping a hedgehog socialized is very important). I take meticulous care of my hedgehogs cage and they did too. The staff was very nice and helpful. They sent me updates of how he was doing and took pictures. Yes, the clinic is a little expensive but they are the best clinic I have every been to. I highly suggest Gladstone Veterinary Clinic to everyone. read more

I've been coming here for 8 years. Although I miss Dr. Schaefer, I've had the pleasure of working with many of the other vets. About 7 years ago it was time for my cat to leave us, and they were the most caring and thoughtful. I sobbed in the exam room for 30 minutes and my vet stood by. I've brought my turtle, cat, and dog here. They are AWESOME. If you are looking for great, honest care, this is your place. I drive out of my way to use this vet. read more
