Dr. Haggerty and her awesome staff always takes awesome care of my babies. They're kind and compassionate and practice great medicine.

We've had a consistently great experience with Live Oak Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Haggerty is a fantastic vet. She is caring, patient, and always thorough in her explanations. She takes the time to make sure we understand everything, which really gives us peace of mind. The entire staff is also wonderful. Our Staffy tends to get a bit anxious during vet visits, but everyone in the office is gentle, reassuring, and clearly experienced in handling nervous pets. It makes a big difference knowing our dog is in such capable and compassionate hands. I would definitely recommend Live Oak to anyone looking for high-quality veterinary care. They're the best! read more

I signed up for Yelp just to post this review. How often do you have a good experience at a vet, I mean we have better experiences than the pets do generally, but at best it's like a dentist visit. Nobody really wants to be here but it's necessary sometimes. My experience with Dr Jeanne Haggerty-Arcay was wonderful. Our cat was very, very sick suddenly and she took such good care of him, walking us through his care, describing what they were doing and why. She sent pictures and video of Salem while he was there and was very responsive to any question I had. She then helped and communicated with us during his recuperation at home. She didn't just check the box complete when they got paid, she honestly cared about Salem and how he was doing. Giving advice on adjusting his medications and what to watch for. I cannot express how astounded I was and still am at the amount of care she showed for a previous member of our family who couldn't explain what was wrong or advocate for himself. I wouldn't hesitate recommend Live Oak to anyone. read more

I called on a Saturday morning to get help putting our older dog down. The entire staff was so kind and helpful. They were able to squeeze us in and help make sure our dog was comfortable passing on. A big thank you to Live Oak Veterinary hospital for taking in a pooch who's not a regular but needed some help. Our family is very grateful. read more

I'm heartbroken to write this. Live Oak used to be the one place I trusted with my dog's care. But at my recent visit, everything felt off--an empty parking lot, unfamiliar staff, and a cold, unrecognizable atmosphere. The worst came in the exam room. Dr. Colbert entered without a greeting or apology after a long wait. She startled my dog, harshly criticized me for her behavior, and insisted on muzzling her. When I tried to comfort my dog, I was told to stop "babying" her. My sweet, social dog grew more anxious by the minute. What followed felt more like restraint than care. The tech grabbed my dog roughly, the shot was given without warning, and I was told I was doing her a disservice. I left shaking--with guilt, sadness, and regret. I brought my dog in to protect her, and instead I feel I failed her. Live Oak changed after Dr. Switzer retired. I wish I had trusted my instincts the moment I walked in. If you love your pet, go elsewhere. read more

Tried so many different Vets for our dog who has really bad allergies. All the other Vets prescribed medication and charged a lot for the visit. This place is absolutely great!! Took the time to figure out how to get him better. read more

I love Dr Colbert. I followed her here from her last practice. What I like most about her is that she listens. The staff are professional and friendly. The facility is clean and nice. read more

Sunday evening 10/29/23, my cat Sophie got a tear in her skin, by running in a panic from another cat. It looked bad enough for stitches, so I called LOVH the next morning. I was lucky to be able to leave her there around 10 am, so they could have a look. LOVH is close by and familiar. Sophie would not have enjoyed a long drive to an emergency vet. Later in the day, Dr. Switzer examined her and took care of sewing the wound, which turned out larger than expected, but clean and recent. They also noticed some fleas at this time. So I knew to start flea treatment on all of my cats. read more

No so #funwithfynnagain I love Live Oak Veterinary. Yesterday at 2 pm Fynn got a vaccination. A little before 5 pm (when they usually close) he started vomiting . I called the vet because I was concerned it was a reaction. They told to come right away. Vomiting is the first sign of anaphylactic shock. They gave him a shot of anti-vomiting medicine and Benadryl. Sent home more Benadryl and to watch him closely. I couldn't bear to lose him. Thank you Dr. Haggerty. read more

I can't say thank you enough for the compassion the staff at Live Oak provided to my husband and I as we brought our 11yo Roscoe in for his end of life. I chose Live Oak over SAGE because i just feel like they've ripped me off before and I wanted him to be in a place that he knew better. Our two boxers have been coming to Live Oak for vet services for the last decade. We drive from San Jose but it was the best decision for our guy. Especially for this decision. They were very accommodating, patient and very kind during the whole process. Dr. Clark even sent us a lovely card and poem days later. Just above and beyond! God bless you! read more

Dropped my doggy off at 9:40 am, and I just got back home at 3:15pm. I live 7 minutes away. My 14 year old doggy is having some urine issues. So I dropped her off to get a urinalysis. The doc was efficient and by 11:20am they had a plan of action. Great. I asked when I could pick her up. doc said it would take some time for billing stuff. So I said I could stop by after 1pm. They would call me when she was ready. At 1:40 I called to see what was taking so long. They said they were at lunch and would confirm the urine labs needed when they got back from lunch. Weird. 2:30 pm I get a call my dog is ready for pick up. I drive over. I pay and wait for my dog to come out. 10 minutes pass by and nothing. I asked if something happened. They call the back office again to bring my doggy out. That time it works. The docs are great, the front staff seems nice, but the process seems intrinsically flawed. Almost 6 hours for some urine testing and a consult? I think the step after the actual visit needs to be revisited. Overall the place has been fine historically. I just am upset that this visit was drawn out for no apparent reason than some flaws in the process. read more

I trust this Veterinary Hospital. Two weeks ago my older cat, approx. 14 years, received a dental from Dr. Switzer. I initially was hesitant to have this performed because he required several extractions. He seemed healthy and active and I was afraid he might be a different cat when he came home. Two weeks later he is a different cat. He seems happier, even more playful, his appetite is better and his breath, which had been getting a little stinky, is sweet as can be. He was getting yearly checkups at another facility but his dental issues were not mentioned. Thank you, Dr. Switzer. This is a well-run Hospital. The staff is pleasant and efficient almost always my appointment has been right on time. I had an emergency with my dog about a year ago and Dr. Haggerty made time for her the same morning which was much appreciated. read more

Unfortunately, we are frequent visitors of Live Oak Veterinary Hospital. We have a diabetic Golden Retriever, a Black Lab who can't chase a ball without ripping off a toenail or breaking a toe and an indoor/outdoor cat who thinks he could be the next Avenger. Fortunately, all of our experiences have been very positive. The entire staff: front desk, the tech's, the doctor's and those working behind the scenes have been very professional, accommodating and have shown great care for our furry family members. read more

I have been going to live oak animal hospital since it opened up. I have Dalmatians, a breed which requires special foods that prevent the build up of pureines which causes stones. Dr. Jeanne Haggerty has worked with me for all my previous and current Dalmatians and continues to take the time and care with me well beyond a doctor visit. Her staff is excellent especially Natalie who gives me so many great suggestions. I appreciate the excellent service I continue to receive at the veterinary establishment. read more

Dr. Haggerty-Arcay goes above and beyond. She is thorough, attentive, skilled and kind. Always a great experience here...

I will not take my animals to any other place in town ever. Dr. haggardy and staff have taken excellent care of all my animals (I've taken two dogs and a cat here). They have taken exceptional care of my Ruby who was hit by car but healed like a champ with their care and guidance. They are excellent! read more

I brought my dog in Jan of this year. Apparently they incorrectly billed me and months later I find out that I had an outstanding balance. They had my incorrect address so I was never notified of an outstanding balance. Once I spoke to billing on what I thought corrected the issue I learned weeks later it was not fixed. I spoke to one of the receptionist Shannon and tried to understand what might have happened. Shannon proceeded to tell me I came in on a SAT which I do not remember and that my dog was seen for vomiting blood which was never the issue!! I told her something isn't right here... Shannon winds up hanging up on me. Check your bills as they may be improperly billing you for things your pet was never seen for... I will never go back to this VET Hospital. read more

Live Oaks Veterinary Hospital does a fantastic job. Very friendly and helpful team... (Annie was more than amazing, Vanessa was really great, Dr. Clark honest and very knowledgeable, patient) all went out of their way to provide a comfortable experience for myself and my Pomeranian Emma), thorough communication, and patient. Prices were competitive for the services provided (cardiogram, x rays and dental work). Our Vet was on point and made sure Emma was well taken care of. I drove all the way from Mountain View as several of the Mountain View vets are pompass and unprofessional... LIVE OAKS in Morgan Hill is the best!! Sincerely, Dan read more

Love Dr.Switzer! All of the Vets & Staff are just great! My Yorkie poo is a very nervous girl but Dr. Switzer is so gentle & caring that she does great! Wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Dr. Haggerty is our gal for vaccines, and helping us with our dog's skin and tummy issues over the last two years. She offers several options, helping us determine when we really need to spend money on certain treatments and where we can tighten the budget on on other treatments. The entire staff is helpful, friendly and professional. Highly recommend! read more

Too expensive and hardly ever available. Also receptionists are rude, unhelpful and don't call you back.

I have been taking my pets to Live Oak for years. I have 1 dog, 2 cats, and 2 guinea pigs and they are all patients. Today, my 14 year old dog had her teeth cleaned by Dr. Muth. She was amazing!! So caring and patient with my older dog. She called me to give an update after the procedure and answered all of my questions, taking as much time as I needed. My pets have seen the other vets as well and I have always been very happy. The staff at the front desk is professional, friendly, and efficient. Love this place for my pets! read more

We have been clients since they opened in 2010, and have received amazing care for our dog and cats. The care that is given is individualized, and the welfare of our pets is always put first. Dr. Haggerty is our main doctor but when we haven't seen her we have still received the best care and support. The front desk staff are professional and on it no matter how busy they are. We highly recommend Live Oak, so don't hesitate to trust them with your fur babies. read more

We are so happy to have found Dr. Switzer and the awesome ladies/technicians again. We followed them from their previous hospital (see my other reviews for the bad news on that place - BEWARE!). The staff knows us and it's nice to not have to re-explain things time and again. They are great with us and have always been responsive and timely with our requests. Lynette and Lisa are great! Dr. Switzer is a very patient doctor. He is awesome about taking the time to explain things in a way that is easy to understand. He presents multiple scenarios/options for treatment and never makes us feel like he's only trying to push the most pricey procedure. He knows both the medical history and the temperament of our "kids" and factors that into his advice. Dr. Switzer will call us even on days that he's not intending to be in the office to check on and follow up on both our epileptic bully and our aging athletic (but prone to back issues) bully. We are so thankful to have met him 7 years ago. We highly recommend this hospital. The location is convenient. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. Dr. Switzer is fantastic. read more

After coming here for the last 12 years I called Monday morning to see if they could test my cats urine I collected because my cat is feral and impossible to bring in. I was stopped mid sentence and told they would not do that unless they have seen her in the last year. I called one other vet that said of course we can do that. We won't be back to Live Oak Vet. read more

You have been warned ! This is by far the worst place ever . The front employees are so rude and uncaring to customers .I have been coming here for a very long time and have seen this place go downwards . Their prices are so high on every thing . If you board your dog , expect to wait 45 minutes or longer for any staff member to go back and get your dog . It's not a pleasant place to bring your fur babies . Go somewhere else where you are treated with respect and feel welcomed with your pets. Animals are treated poorly here. They have no heart . I Will never go back again . Save your money and go somewhere else . read more

The front desk woman, I have no idea why she is located as first point of contact, because she is very unfriendly and never greets you when you enter the office. I am thinking of switching to south county hospital once we have gotten our money's worth from our puppy plan we had to pay for. We have had good luck with two of the doctors, Muth and Haggerty. Switzer cost of $2000 when he misdiagnosed a urinary infection in our cat. Had to take him to emergency on Thanksgiving for an overnight visit!! read more

Wow wow wow! It took me 3 different vets with unhappy experiences to finally be referred to Live Oak. I brought both my cat and dog today for vaccines and exams and just fell in love with Dr. Muth. She was very thorough and spent a lot of time with us answer our questions and getting to know our animals. We didn't feel rushed or pressured into anything, in fact, she didn't feel certain vaccines were even necessary for our cat seeing as he is strictly indoors. The reviews about receptionists,no don't understand. I nothing less than professional, helpful and friendly staff. I recommend this veterinary clinic. We're very happy and excited we found our home away from home!!! read more

Twice tried to get my dog in there for an emergency appointment and was told there was no opening that day...for an emergency. Called friends vet suggestion and my pet was seen and given the necessary medication needed for the emergency right away. Will get a new vet now that actually cares about pets needing immediate care. read more

If i could give zero stars i absolutely would have!!!! This office has one seriously unprofessional and ridiculously rude receptionist/front office staff member. I contacted this office because my dog was a patient of Dr John Quick (the previous owner/vet AND amazing human being, rest his soul)... My dog started showing signs of hind leg weakness yesterday and rested all afternoon... This morning my dog was paralyzed from the neck down and i called this office to get advice. I was concerned about just putting him in the car and taking him there due to the pain that it caused him to move... I wanted to ask if it was safe to do so!!!!!! Instead i was harassed about why my dog was not their patient and "why don't you just bring the dog in!?" (Rudely emphatic!!!!) - well, you insensitive un-feeling woman, my dog was not a current patient because he was seen by Dr Quick for the first half of his life and hasn't had any major issue to warrant a visit to your office (until NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)... Furthermore i was desperately concerned about his spine because he is suffering from muscular paresis and severe stiffness of the neck and yelps in pain when moved.... Leading me to call you!! Why didn't i call a mobile vet right away!?!?!? Well, i thought it was logical to call the office that we had a previous relationship with!!! Why?? Because i assumed we would be received in the same loving manner as Davlyn and the previous Vet, Dr. Quick (who had a heart of gold!) ... Don't go to this office! Just don't! I've been a Morgan Hill resident for over 10years and my husband has been here for 20... I will make sure all of my dog loving friends know about this experience. read more

What a beautiful facility! I was visiting on behalf of Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice and the front desk staff was so nice. They have a beautiful and spacious hospital as well! read more

Huge Happy DANCE for the opening of this practice! I cried the day that these vet's told me their old practice was being taken over... I am not a fan of that company and had been going to that practice for almost 10 years. I went through a number of vet's before I found out these staff from the old one had opened a new practice "Live Oak" together! Thank god my animals hadn't been seriously ill in the mean time. Dr. Switzer is awesome. My dogs all know who Dr Mike is and love to go see him, he has a wonderful way with animals and their owners. The rest of the staff Dr Haggerty and Dr Clark are also very good and know me and my dogs almost as well as Dr Mike. The practice has a very family feel to it and I love that. The staff is excellent and the place is always well maintained. Lynette and Lisa on the front desk are awesome and going here is like visiting old friends. read more

Just wanted to thank Dr Clark for the work she did with my dog. Very thorough and to the point, even helped extend his life by a couple of years by detecting issues early. In the end she was very professional and compassionate when he was put to sleep. Highly recommend them for their vet services. read more

I followed the vets when they moved from the former location and started this practice in 2009. I can't speak highly enough about all of the vets and staff at Live Oak. When I call for an appointment I am often asked which doctor I'd like to see. I always reply that it doesn't matter because they're all excellent. They have all gone out of their way to assure that I receive superb service. One time, Dr. Haggerty called me in Paris to give me an update on one of my dogs. She and I texted each other during my travels in Europe just to be sure I was up-to-date on the situation. I am currently working with Dr. Switzer on an issue and he has no problem calling me after hours to keep me informed. He advises me on various solutions to a problem even when it's not in his best financial interest to do so. How many other providers of professional services will do that for you (think doctor, lawyer, financial advisor)?! I cannot thank him enough for his help and advice. All three of the vets there have been through a lot with my animals over many years (18 to be exact). I have nothing but praise for the entire practice/office. The support staff is top-notch as well. They always follow up and call me back with updates when necessary. We always manage to smile about something, even when things get serious (hi Lynette, Lisa, Charyn, Megan, Dorothy!). I sincerely appreciate this practice and can't imagine taking my business anywhere else. I'm not a frequent Yelp poster so I don't know how my "handle" looks on reviews. :-) This is Jim J. and I thank you, Live Oak, for all that you've done for me and my critters! read more

Love the staff and vets. Their lobby is very large, so you don't have the issues of dogs jumping on each other. I have lost my vaccination records and the staff is super cool about it and just emailed it over. Great team!! read more

NEVER take your pets here!! It took them 3 tries to try and get blood from my pet; they shaved her and stuck her 3 more times and didn't get blood...then the doctor (and I use the term loosely) got indignant with me and bullied me when I wanted them to get someone else to try. They were going to do surgery to remove "a lump" WITHOUT A CATHETER, that is substandard practice and could have killed her (I still have the quote for the surgery). Needless to say I had her records transferred to another clinic - 1) I found out the office ghouls has made bad comments to the vet I was transferring to (I guess Live Oak looses A LOT of patients) and 2) It was a wart and simply burned off. GO HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK read more

I have been a client since June 2011. Nothing but compliments and recommendations for this veterinarian office. I was referred to this office from a bulldog forum saying they were great with bulldogs, and that was the truth. My bulldog was diagnosed from cherry eye (prolapse of the eye gland), Dr. Clark was great at the explaining the options and her advice on the best way to go. She referred me to Dr. Burling of Animal Eye Doctors in Campbell. Great success and experience. They also willingly helped me with my Pet Insurance paperwork and made everything easy. I also had my bulldog neutered here. They took great care of him while also treating his minor rash on his belly while he was there so that saved me the office visit fee. I dropped my bulldog off at 8:30am and Dr. Clark called me at 1pm to notify me that he was all set to go at about 4pm. I came thru and picked him up at 4:30pm and they gave me a thorough explanation on how to care for him the next few days. Greatly satisfied. Price for the neutering was very reasonable. Highly recommend Dr. Clark for you bulldog needs! read more

It takes over a week to get an appointment for a flea medicine visit at his place. I called around and was able to get in same day at two other vets. Guess these guys are understaffed or don't need my business. Mind you I have been there before, I'm not a new patient. They didn't even act like they were trying or were sorry. Ok. That's fine was the response I got. I don't think so. I'll spend my money elsewhere that is more accommodating for my 3 pets. South Valley vet will sell you flea medicine without an appointment. I've since discovered that I can walk in there and buy it over the counter. No expensive exam required. read more

This place is amazing! They're honest and genuine. Definitely recommend for your fur babies!
