  We had Dr. Sawyer as our oncologist for our senior dog. She was able to walk us through our different treatment options effectively, and was always available for questions throughout the treatment period. We never felt pressure or guilt to choose one treatment over another. Even though our pup passed after 3 months of treatment, we’re thankful that she got the best treatment she could have to manager her discomfort and pain. We will always be grateful for Dr. Sawyer’s empathy and guidance.

  Dr. Funes has done two rhinoscopies and one endoscopy on my golden retriever. I trust her whole heartedly with my pup. She’s incredibly kind and caring and followed up to make sure Finn was recovering well. The staff here are also incredibly kind and caring, and I cannot imagine how hard it must be to witness beloved animals in dire need rushed in day after day. Be prepared for long wait times if it’s not a life threatening emergency, but the quality of care is so top notch that I will gladly wait here instead of driving somewhere else with a shorter wait time.

  Bringing a sick pet to a clinic puts you in an incredibly vulnerable, stressful position. You expect empathy, but Oakvet showed an absolute lack of compassion. We drove all the way from San Francisco just to be subjected to terrible treatment by assistant Vanessa Schell. When I honestly stated that I could not afford a $4,000 treatment, she responded with attitude and tried to make me feel ashamed. She then completely flipped the situation, falsely claiming I was raising my voice and telling me to calm down. She threatened to have me kicked out, telling me I could just leave with my sick pet—all while literally smiling. To weaponize a pet’s health and smile in a pet owner's face during a crisis is disgusting. Vanessa Schell added immense stress to an already heartbreaking situation. Avoid this place if you want your family and pet treated with basic human decency.👎

  I have a love/hate relationship with this Hospital. This place has helped my babies so much in their time of need but I have had to out two babies put down here which just bring back very sad memories. We always get the best care and also see Dr.Funes the internal medicine doctor who is amazing with my senior cat Kiki. He just adores her. The staff are also always very sweet and kind and always give updates when our cat was in the ED for a few days. Thanks OakVet for all you do, you all are amazing. -Kiki’s mom

  We had an emergency visit with our elderly cat late Friday evening. OakVet was suggested as an emergency vet by our regular vet. The first sign that the visit was not going well was the 4 hour wait from 11pm to 3am without communicating such - after 2 hours of no word we finally asked the receptionist and was quoted the additional 2 hours. The vet techs that were around were not communicative and seemed more annoyed than anything for being on duty over night. This culminated in our receiving two different prescribed medications (antibiotic and pain killer) that were switched in the bottles! The mistake was only caught when the vet tech tried to explain the medication instructions and they were opposite what the vet had told us. This was very concerning as the mistake could have had very bad results if not caught. The vet that saw us was terrific and cared for our cat while ordering a slew of tests to be performed. One very important and EXPENSIVE test was a urinalysis which we waited on the results for to give our regular vet. Turns out, the sample was never sent out and it took our vet making multiple calls to get OakVet to admit the mistake. We had to call OakVet to confront this issue; there was no attempt to call us once the mistake was discovered (which should have been done immediately). If the need ever arrives again we will search for a different emergency vet and we do not recommend OakVet.
