Really Love their approach to make the whole experience less clinical, and more calming for the pets entering. The Vet even sat on the floor to look at him while petting him. My bill was actually super affordable when I was checking out which was astonishing. Then they even assisted me in carrying him to the car as my travel carrier is a bit flimsy and quite large so that he can be more comfortable lol. The vet assistants were also all super helpful and very professional so all around great experience for me and my little guy:-)

Made an 8 am appointment online which I habe the email confirmation for and I drop my dog off at 7:30 am. I was quoted a price that I agreed to, leave, get home and receice a call that it will be more because my dog must be sedated, I agree to that. Call around noon for update ans they still are not finished, told to call back around 2pm, did so and now he wont be ready until almost 4 pm. My dog that had an 8 am appt is now there almost 8 hours and they are not done!! I show up around 330 to be handed a bill for not only grooming and sedation but for bloodwork ans un authorized shots that I was planning on getting at my dogs own personal vet. Then I'm charged an additional $48 for an office visit and exam when this was suppose to be a grooming session. The staff all play dumb like they didnt realize I didnt want those extra services. So I'm not happy but I pay the bill they did the work. Get my dog who is still wet feom the bath after being there almost 8 hours. I will never take my dog here again. They purposely do things to run up a bill without your permission. This is unethical and shady.​​​​​​ ​​

As you can see, I'm fairly inactive with reviews. HOWEVER...this review must be shared…read more We evacuated for what we thought would be a 2-3 day "evacucation" from hurricane Ida. Our oldest son lives in Birmingham so we packed up a couple of carry-on suitcases and our two doggies and took the 5 hr drive from St Charles parish to Birmingham, AL. Our son is very allergic to the dogs---especially our 70+ lb "Buddy", who sheds enough to make a new Pomeranian every single day! There was no way Buddy was going to be able to stay at his place, so I googled kennels in the area and came across this godsend, Oak View Animal Hospital. "Godsend? Really?!?" You may ask; and I tell you wholeheartedly , "YES!!!". 1. They are open on Saturday. Okay, many places are, but not all. We were very happy that they were able to accommodate our Buddy at such short notice (the morning of)! 2. They brought him current on his shots. One of the stressors was that Buddy was not up to date with shots---a big "no-no" if you want to board/groom your dog. OVAH said no problem--we'll take care of that! 3. The staff was great. From the initial phone call (I believe it was Sydney), to the drop off (Sidney and Brandi); to the calls checking up on him (I believe it was Brandi both times), to the pick up (Brandi again!)---they were so, so, so very reassuring, tender and professional to Buddy AND us, that we know you will not be disappointed using their services. 4. The medical care. Working as diligently and professionally behind the scenes was Dr Robinson, who not only gave Buddy his shots, but also performed a full on exam and gave Buddy a clean bill of health...a "1" on the healthy pet scale!! 5. Good byes. When we called to let OVAH know that we were coming to pick up Buddy the next day, they joked that he did so well and he may not even want to leave. We chuckled about it, but don't you know that it took about 3-5 min for Brandy to bring him out. I didn't ask, but I imagine she was probably giving him one last hug because you could definitely tell it's not just a slogan to them: they really do care for your pets as they do their own! 6. The finale. The proverbial cherry on top was when Brandi took our payment. She told me Dr Robinson had heard of our situation and she wanted to help us in our time of need by generously discounting our total bill. She obviously didn't do this to boast or to cultivate our future business (we live two states away!). She did this is because she is obviously a compassionate human being who, without hesitation, took action to help a fellow---no asking whether we made $1M or $1k per year---just shear goodwill on her part. We were so impressed with the total experience we received at OVAH, that we just had to share our experience to help put YOUR mind at ease when deciding for your pet's care anytime you're in the Birmingham area. Thank you, OVAH!!! PS. On the "small world" scene---while walking our small dog on our son's street, I got to chatting with one of the neighbors, whose 19-yr old dog has been cared for by OVAH---she had nothing but praises to say about them!

Our 7-year old cat began having problems the week before last. It started out as hacking and…read morevomiting as with hairballs, but by Thursday night she was not eating at all, and if she did drink a small amount of water, she'd immediately vomit it back up. She became a bit lethargic and was obviously losing weight. I called Friday morning, but our normal vet could not see her until the next Monday. I found that MAC could see her immediately because they are walk-in only. The doctor saw her quickly and after an exam, gave us a very reasonable quote for suggested procedures (bloodwork, IV fluids, hospitalization). We left her there for treatment over the weekend. The staff did call with updates. On Monday, a technician called to say they had no good news but were going to run more bloodwork. I asked if they had done an x-ray to check for an obstruction and she said no, and acted like that was a strange request. Later in the afternoon, the doctor called to say things were not good. He told use she had FIV (feline AIDS). That was news to us, and a very unusual disease for an indoor cat to have. He said her inability to keep anything down was likely due to a GI infection she could not fight off. He said there was nothing they could do for her and that she would probably not live much longer without eating or drinking. He said this is common with FIV cats. While he did not suggest euthanasia, when I brought that up, he seemed to think that was a good option. We went that evening, expecting to see our cat on her deathbed and to say goodbye. When we got there, she was fairly active and seemed fairly normal. After some discussion, we decided to take her home, fully expecting to be back in a few days when she began to go downhill. When we checked out, we were charged some additional fees for more bloodwork, but it was still very reasonable. For the next few days, she was still fairly lethargic, and vomited a few times after drinking. Once or twice, she did eat a few morsels and keep them down. She sis not seem to be in any pain and did not seem to be getting worse, but she needed to eat. On Thursday, we called our regular vet and got her in there. I brought all the bloodwork records from MAC. Oddly enough, none of that included the FIV test results, and when our vet did the test, it came back negative! Our doctor said that the test is very accurate. She did an x-ray, and saw what might have be a soft object in her stomach, so we had an endoscope done. That shows nothing - no tumors, no foreign objects, all was good. Since the, she has slowly started easting again and has been less lethargic. It remains to be seen what is (was) wrong, but at least she seems to be improving. I think MAC does a good job, but I question the validity of their FIV test (especially since it was not listed on their bloodwork results). I also question the doctor almost letting us euthanize our dear pet. I just believe they could have been more diligent in doing more diagnostic work (x-rays).
