Kind, empathetic, and thoughtful are all accurate descriptions of those at Compass. Dr Connolly and those at Compass were supportive and understanding through a terminal illness in our very loved cat. Losing a loved one is never easy but they were so patient with us and really did help us as we struggled with this loss. I'm so grateful we found this clinic and would definitely recommend their services to others looking for a trustworthy and professional group. read more

For years, we trusted Compass with our animals. That trust ended with the way our four-year-old tabby, Penelope, was treated. Penelope is my emotional support animal and an incredibly important part of our family. We brought her in very sick. She wasn't eating or drinking, was dehydrated, lethargic, and repeatedly dry heaving. We were terrified that we might lose her. After Compass took her back, we spent the day repeatedly calling for information. We were told the doctors were busy and probably wouldn't get back to us until the end of the day. Imagine leaving your seriously ill pet in someone's care and then spending hours unable to get meaningful information about how she is doing. At approximately 4:00 p.m., we were told Penelope was ready to go home. A partial X-ray had been done, she had received fluids, and we were sent home with nausea medication and instructions to give her OTC Prilosec. We still had no diagnosis and very little explanation. My husband felt rushed through the pickup process, and we walked away with an approximately $1,100 bill but very few answers. Penelope continued to decline. We called Compass again because we were scared and needed help, only to be told there was nothing more they could do. We immediately took her to an emergency veterinary hospital, where further testing, X-rays, and ultrasounds were performed. She was treated for a suspected upper respiratory infection and, thankfully, she is slowly recovering. We weren't expecting miracles. We were expecting communication, compassion, appropriate care, and answers to reasonable questions about our very sick cat. After years of trusting Compass, this experience was heartbreaking. We will now be taking all three of our animals elsewhere. I sincerely hope no other family has to feel as helpless and dismissed as we did while trying to advocate for a sick pet. read more

If I could offer no stars here I would. On 7/2, I brought my healthy dog in to get spayed and to widen her nostrils to improve her breathing (recommended by the vet). After being overcharged by hundreds for the procedure from the price I was quoted beforehand, I was informed I need to take her to an emergency hospital for further evaluation since they "don't have the staff" to care for her. She has been horribly sick since I picked her up. I have never experienced such unacceptable veterinary care in my life. They caused the problem and are not taking responsibility. Do not trust this corporate vet that does not care about your fur baby. read more

I scheduled an initial exam for my dog and was able to get scheduled the next couple of days (My original vet clinic shut down in LO and moved to a different town). I had to put down a $90 deposit, which I was fine with but seemed excessive. Long story short, I had forgotten about the appointment since I did not receive any confirmation via email or text and the office didn't call to check in if I was running behind (it would have been a 1 min drive to get to the clinic). Instead, they call me 15 mins after my scheduled appointment and informed me that because I was a "no show" I would have to forfeit the $90 deposit. I know it's ultimately my fault for forgetting about the appointment, but not getting any form of appointment confirmation seems unprofessional. Many of us have busy schedules or have things going on in our personal lives that could contribute to being a "no show". Wondering if this is just how they run their business or if this is a one off situation - but overall would say their lack of ease with a potential new client, lack of appt confirmation/ follow up speaks volumes on the type of service they provide. I do not recommend this place. read more

Helpful, kind, and understanding with our large dog, spending extra time and affording space for his care.

UPDATE: While reporting Dr. Sheets to the Oregon Veterinary Board, I discovered she's currently listed with them as an INTERN, NOT a doctor, tho she practiced completely unsupervised which contributed to my dog's death. -- This review is for Dr. Sheets, and Compass for allowing an unqualified doctor to practice on her own. My dog died partly because Dr. Sheets is so inexperienced and unqualified to practice on her own, that she could not tell the difference between symptoms of a respiratory issue and of a gastrointestinal issue, even when I was literally telling her that there was a respiratory issue that needed urgent treatment. 3 days after seeing Dr. Sheets at Compass, my dog died of pneumonia, which I pointed out to Dr. Sheets, but she repeatedly dismissed my suggestion and the symptoms I clearly pointed out. Dr. Sheets told me that what I was pointing out were symptoms of my dog's Pancreatitis. The day after seeing Dr. Sheets, I spoke to an experienced vet on JustAnswer, who said the symptoms I was describing could not possibly be from a gastrointestinal issue like Pancreatitis, and that my dog had a respiratory infection as I suspected. The day after that, she was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia and died the day after with. She was dancing and full of life just days earlier. Not only did Dr. Sheets never call me back when I called the day after our appointment about my dog not eating the prescribed food for her Pancreatitis, Compass never apologized or refunded me after finding out she died of the illness I told the doctor that she had. This is not a veterinary practice that takes your animal's well being seriously or holds themselves responsible for their vet's actions. Dr. Sheets clearly needs more training and to confer with more experienced doctors. The other senior doctors here have great reviews (Connolly and Porter) which I wish I had seen before making an appointment. So if an animal you love is sick, I'd recommend seeing Connolly or Porter or finding out if they can at least give a second opinion during your visit. Full Story --- I brought my dog in on a Wednesday. She had thrown up, but also she clearly had respiratory issues, which I pointed out. She was choking on her mucus constantly (present at the exam), heavy breathing at night, sneezing and coughing (present at the exam.) I pointed out it seemed like she had something stuck she was trying to get out. Blood tests showed my dog had pancreatitis (hence the throwing up) but it was clear to me she also had a respiratory infection like bronchitis or pneumonia. When I firmly pointed out these symptoms, and my concern for a secondary infection, Dr. Sheets dismissed my concerns with - "no no that's not that, that mucus is from her pancreatitis." When I pointed out what a stark difference there was in her energy in one day she said "oh if you had pancreatitis you'd feel awful too." A qualified vet would have said: "oh you're right, it looks like she may also have a respiratory issue, that could be very dangerous. If we do an X ray we will find out." Instead, she repeatedly dismissed my observations and suggestion of a respiratory infection, and in the end her blanket answer for my clear concern was to say: "Well, if you're still worried you can get more tests" as a shot in the dark, hoping to find the cause. I was literally telling her the cause. The next day I spoke to a vet online (with 50 years experience, via JustAnswer) and he confirmed my dog's mucus and coughing could NOT be from her gastrointestinal issue of pancreatitis, it was respiratory. Those are two different systems. I took my dog into an emergency vet that friday where she was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia, both by sight then confirmed by x rays. She died three days after seeing Dr. Sheets. It seems Dr. Sheets relies entirely on reading the results of expensive tests to tell you what's wrong, instead of what a qualified doctor does: looking at the patient, noticing their symptoms, and diagnosing what could be wrong then confirming with the appropriate tests. And in this case, I was literally telling her my dog had a respiratory infection, which she did. But in addition to her lack of expertise, there is a real lack of care, as she really does not listen at all. What someone can notice by living with an animal is a wealth of information over what any doctor can see in a quick exam, especially if they aren't really paying attention as was the case with Dr. Sheets. If your animal is sick, do NOT see Dr. Sheets. I would highly recommend she get more training or apprentice for a more experienced and caring doctor who takes this job seriously before being allowed to see sick patients. Or change careers. An animal is a living feeling being who is someone's family member, their health is not to be taken lightly as Dr. Sheets handled this. I expect a full refund for what was in no shape or form an exam by a qualified doctor. read more

I've been honored to have many, many dogs and cats as companion animals. I've also had beaucoup veterinarians, some good, some not-so-good, but Compass Vet in Lake Oswego has hands down been the most compassionate and caring vet clinic I've ever taken my critters to for their medical needs. My 15 year old Bruno recently had to be euthanized, and Dr. Connolly and her staff made sure that we felt safe and secure with the knowledge that his passing would be handled with their usual love, care, and empathy. I was so overwhelmed emotionally with the situation, and also with the way they handled the entire process, for Bruno and for myself. Thank you, Cherie, for helping to diminish the pain and sadness I was going through, and for making Bruno's passing as painless and peaceful as possible. read more

I took my 5.0lb Shihpoo to compass vet in lake Oswego which is two minutes from my house to do an Anal gland expression that i was doing that every four month or so! They used to charge me $20.00 for doing a five minutes job which i was okay with that. I went there again two weeks ago for the same thing and this time they charge me $38.00 which i thought that was outrages!! Last Saturday my poppy had her annual exam and while i was there i told them they just did the Anal gland Expression week ago and it was not done right and they said they will take care of that while she is there! To my surprise they had the audacity to charge me $50.00 again!! i asked them to refund me since i just paid $38.00 for same thing and they refused to do so!! I believe this place since they are located in lake Oswego they think can take advantage of people because we love our pet! I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone because of their dishonesty and i would not give them a penny of my money anymor read more

Compass Veterinary Clinic is the only vet in the greater Portland area I trust with the care of my elderly and sickly bunny Bella. She often gets GI stasis, but with the amazing care and critical bunny care knowledge given to me from the exotic vets here, I have brought my sweet angel bunny back from death's door many times. They are committed to fairly priced, ethical and amazing care for their pets, while when I've taken my bunny to other emergency vets who did not even know which medications to prescribe for her. Thank you compass vet clinic for the amazing and knowledgeable bunny care you have provided time and time again read more

Compass Veterinary Clinic - Bella feeling better after a vet visit - Veterinarians Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

I am SO THANKFUL I discovered Compass Vet Clinic when I got my first puppy. I made sure to research and call every veterinary clinic in the Portland area. When I called Compass Vet, I spoke with Penny, who works as a client care specialist. Penny is the whole reason I decided to go to Dr. Connolly. Penny was so knowledgeable talked me through the entire vaccine schedule and neutering procedure for my puppy. From the moment I talked to Penny and met with Dr. Connolly I knew my puppy was in great hands. I also greatly appreciate how much Dr. Connolly cares about the health and wellness of the animals she works with. Last year when we had the horrible snow storm I had an appointment with Dr. Connolly. Although she had to cancel she made sure to call me personally and instruct me on what to do with puppy. She also rescheduled to meet with me ASAP. Another awesome perk of going to Compass Vet Clinic is all of the incredible prices!! My mom belongs to another local vet and pays so much more for similar care and prescriptions. Many times Compass has offered me 15% off on my flea and tic medications and discounted exams. I have recommended Compass Vet to just about every person I know with animals. Their practice is growing and the new doctors on staff are just as wonderful and caring as Dr. Connolly. Even with a lot of new animals going to Compass Vet, I still have no problem scheduling appointments, which I really appreciate! read more

I know that there are many positive reviews here and that is one of the main reasons I decided to bring my sweet, beautiful cat here when we relocated to the area. But what happened to her here is so horrific that I have to share it and just hope that maybe it will save a pet and something positive will have come out of this awful situation. I brought her in for a check up and shots about two months ago. After examining her, Dr. Connelly strongly suggested that she have a dental cleaning; she said that she had a loose tooth and that it could become infected and turn into a life-threatening situation. So I booked the first available dental appointment which was about a month and a half later. I was worried because she was an older cat but they assured me it would be fine as she was very healthy and active and her bloodwork was excellent. She had had a dental cleaning with several extractions a few years prior at her previous vet and had come through just fine, so I assumed it would be a similar situation. I brought her for her dental appointment and they called me afterwards to say that she was coming out of the anesthesia fine. They said that they had been mistaken and there was no loose tooth, which annoyed me because I wondered if she actually needed the procedure, but I just felt relief that she had come through it okay. I picked her up and she seemed very out of it but they told me she might be lethargic and might not eat for a while after. I assumed she was just recovering, but the next day she was eating very little and throwing up. The next day, Sunday, she threw up multiple times and started to seem as if she was having trouble breathing. So I called first thing on Monday morning and brought her in. The front desk staff and vet tech all seemed strange when I brought her in, they were very unfriendly and cold. It seemed odd but the doctor did an x-ray and reassured me that she just had really bad gas. The doctor assured me that it was nothing serious and gave me some anti-nausea medicine and an appetite stimulant and sent us home. However, my poor baby just seemed to worsen. She really seemed to have trouble breathing and was making crazy coughing noises and still vomiting. I called back and they told me to take her to Dove Lewis right away. The receptionist said that she would send her records right then so they would have them. When I got to Dove Lewis, they admitted her and told me that they strongly suggested that she be hospitalized. However, they said that Compass had not sent her records, they never received them, so they had to do additional x-rays and did not have a full picture of what was happening. After a couple of days in the hospital with still no answers, Dr. Connelly called me. She said that as soon as they knew what had caused the problem, they would "change our protocols to ensure that this never happened to another pet again." But what about what you did to my pet? After five days in the hospital, Dove Lewis doctors were still not able to figure out how to treat her and she was worsening and unable to breathe. The doctors said that she was in incredible pain and suffering and suggested that she be euthanized. I had to make the incredibly heartwrenching decision to put my sweet baby to sleep, a cat who had been perfectly healthy and happy only a week earlier when I brought her for her dental work. Her bloodwork was still perfect and there was no indication of any condition that would have caused this. Dove Lewis said that they would tell Compass that she had passed away, but one of the worst things about this entire thing is that I have never received a phone call or note from Dr. Connelly or anyone there to express their condolences. I am absolutely devastated at the loss of my precious girl, who was so full of life and personality. She was truly the light of my life and I will never be able to replace her. This vet may have been great in the past but clearly no longer. Not to mention, they seem to have little caring for pets or people; their behavior was heartless. I would urge you not to take your animals there; if this story can save a pet from a similar situation, at least something positive will come out of this. Update after their response: I think the fact that they did not even follow up to find out what had happened to her, their patient, when they knew she was sick and hospitalized at Dove Lewis after a procedure at their clinic, speaks volumes in terms of their caring and empathy. I didn't think this could be any more heartbreaking, but knowing that pretty much pushes it over the edge. read more

Very strange experience. I scheduled an online appt with the highest rated/most mentioned doctor. Showed up at the accepted time (after receiving several confirmation texts and emails), to be told that not only have they switched doctors BUT also booked over my appt. offering me random other times. No apology, no acknowledgement of error. My advice would be that if you're unable to manage an online scheduling system maybe discontinue using it. Very frustrating and stressful for the dog. read more

Dr. Connelly was exceptional. I brought my 10-year-old chinchilla in and she recognized her arthritis immediately. I had been to several other vets and none of them could confirm she was in pain from arthritis. I was so impressed with everyone in the office, they were respectful of me as well as my beloved chin. Dr. Connelly also offered me a new medication for my chin that no other vet office had ever mentioned had fewer side effects. I will be making this my new vet office from here on out. So grateful that someone who cares this much is close to my home. read more

We were impressed by the veterinarian but were disappointed by most other aspects of the experience. As professional as the vet was, some of the other staff did not seem very knowledgeable or helpful. We asked if they could show us how to clip our dog's nails and ended up getting charged $25 for less than 5 minutes of nail clipping. When we expressed our surprise and disappointment at the unfair charge for this, they did not offer to waive the fee or help in any way. This was our first time there and we were disappointed that the staff clearly did not value or care about us as a new client. After our experience, I am very surprised to see that Compass has a 5/5 rating on Yelp. read more

Well...I would give a higher rating but they wanted to charge my card for $100 dollars before holding my appointment. Why do this if we don't even know what the final charge will be?? It just made me feel uncomfortable. Perhaps they should change their policy to charging whatever the exam fee is and then go from there? Just a suggestion. It makes clients feel like they aren't trustworthy or mature adults who will honor paying their bills. I realize some people out there perhaps have pulled this...but this is a bit odd to assume this will happen. And this was for a little pocket pet that needed simple meds! I doubt the bill would have been astronomical. I ended up going to a different clinic and spent $78 dollars for exam and meds. I paid cash immediately upon completion of the appointment like most clinics I've visited over the past 30 years. read more

We've been taking our dog to Dr. Connelly and Compass for three years now and from our first appointment we have been very impressed. They made going to the vet a fun experience for a dogs, lots of yummy treats and even some peanut butter Captain Crunch (who knew dogs loved that). The team at Compass has helped us welcome new pets into our family and took care of us through the heartbreaking moment of saying good bye to another. The Compass Team are very professionally, genuinely kind and above all else compassionate. If you are looking for a vet to help your pet family members have a full healthy happy life give them a call. read more

We have moved all over states and currently have our 5th and 6th dogs. Two beautiful, big, rough-coat Collies. We just moved here in September 2018. It took 3 vet clinics to find this wonderful place. They are working on getting the entire staff certified as "Fear-free". It's a great atmosphere and Dr Connolly is very professional. We tried another highly recommended vet hospital in Lake Oswego and I was not happy with the impersonal approach to us and our dogs. They just wanted money. Another place smelled so bad, had a long line of people while staff just sat around. Save yourself a ton of frustration and come to Compass.!! read more

Dr. Connolly and her glowing team are top notch professionals on every level. I will be a lifetime client for as long as I live in the Portland Metro area. You know when you meet someone and you're taken away by their passion and devotion to their craft? it's rare these days, but it still exists in some places if you look hard enough. Let me help you, GO TO COMPASS. read more

I will definitely be bringing it pup back for any future medical needs!

The environment was great Wally warmed up to Dr. Baron quickly overall a wonderful experience . Definitely recommend these guys ! read more

Compass Veterinary Clinic - Wally after his neuter. A little sad but he loved Dr Baron - Veterinarians Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

Overall, I've had a really positive experience with this vet clinic and Dr. Connolly in particular. My pup is pretty fearful and hates going to the vet, and he has been treated with patience and understanding. He can get snippy when he's feeling threatened and I have never felt judged by them, but rather treated with compassion and told that I'm doing a great job caring for him. Considering how stressed I am about his behavior and how much time I've put into trying to train him, it's a relief to be acknowledged for that work and not treated like a failed pet parent. It's great for him too because the vet understands that he's gone through so much in his short life that it's amazing he's not worse than he is. My other favorite thing is that I can email the vet directly and she always responds, often within a day. This really saves us from unnecessary stress for my dog, because I don't need to come in to ask a quick question about heartworm meds or whatever else. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because while Dr Connolly is clearly trained in Fear Free methods, I'm not sure the rest of the staff are. We recently had an interaction with a new (to us) vet tech and it was not a great experience. My pup needed a vaccine and she came in and didn't even acknowledge my dog. He was wagging his tail and wanting to say hi but instead of greeting him and letting him get a sniff in, she immediately started preparing the needle. At that point, he backed up into a corner and got scared. She only got close to him when she needed to put the shot in, and even at that point, she didn't say hi to him. I think this made the whole situation more stressful for him because it could've been more positive had she taken a minute or two to get one his level, let him sniff her, etc. I think some training for staff on how to be fear free would really help! read more

I love Compass Vet--I always feel like they go above and beyond for me and my French Bulldog. I'm a bit of a worrier and will send emails asking questions or for advice. I will get an email back or a call back from Dr Connolly or Dr Avina every time. The rest of the staff are so lovely and every experience I've had has been great. read more

I am very impressed by compass vet clinic. I've been to many clinics over the past few years and this one is going to be my "home" clinic as long as I own pets! Dr.Connolly has a very different approach as she is all about the pets comfort and has really given me the education behind treatment rather than just saying I need this and need that. I brought both my dog and cat in for vaccines and couldn't be happier with the services provided. I also recommended her to a family friend who has had just as great experience as myself. read more

Compass Veterinary Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

I would have never taken my dog here if it weren't for them accepting the humane society coupon to be spayed. Now, getting surgery with a coupon seems very odd to me, but alas, it was a good deal. I have a regular vet, I like them, they are 5 minutes from my house. If compass wasn't 45 minutes away, I would consider a switch. I made several calls about getting my pup spayed, Compass was definitely the nicest on the phone. I made an appointment and offered to get the records from my other vet to them. They said don't worry about it, and they did it for me. They never made me feel bad for coming in on a discount spay. They did the normal stuff, and tried to up-sell me on a few things, they are a business, and i don't mind in the least. They noted that she would be due for some of her shots the following month and some more in a few months, so we went ahead and did the vaccinations at the same time. From Start to finish everybody was very nice, the surgery scar looks great and my dog is happy and healthy. Take your pet here. read more

I've been going to Compass almost 2 years with my new Havanese pup. Everyone is nice and caring and they are mostly efficient with appointment times. However it's not perfect. My little buddy has had weepy eyes ever since I got him and I was told that was common. A year and a half later little dude got poked in the eye and I got some antibiotic ointment. Guess what, weepy eyes totally went away. More recently my pupper had mild GI distress off and on and I had a parasite and infection that was treated that I was afraid I had passed to the dog. The vet said unless the dog had more severe symptoms they wouldn't test or treat. I insisted on the test (it was positive for the infection). He refused to give me antibiotics until I went home to read some research that I agreed to look at. I did, and I still wanted the antibiotics a week later so I called. I was told to come in the following morning. The doctor insisted on taking me into an exam room to repeat everything we had already discussed before he would prescribe the antibiotics. And then I was charged for another exam fee. I protested to no avail. My pup got better (perfect bm's and more playful energy!) and I have no regrets. But I was double dinged on exams to get the antibiotics for a legit infection. Boo. read more

Had a wonderful first experience here today. I adopted a new dog, and wanted to make sure he was in good health. Dr. Connolly was wonderful with him, and even got down on the floor with him to make him feel at ease. She took her time with him, and answered all of my questions. I couldn't have been happier with our experience, and have definitely found our new vet. The office staff was wonderful too, and so friendly and helpful! read more

Thank you so much to Dr. Connolly for helping us with the passing of our sweet old girl. She gave us much needed information and helped us make the decision no pet owner ever wants to have to make - and when it was time she sat on the floor and shared tears with me while I shared memories of our dog. The compassion of Dr. Connolly and her staff is remarkable - I will entrust my animals to her for all our vet needs and encourage you to do the same! read more

Wish I could give this place 6 stars. Do yourself a favor and bring your animals to this fear-free veterinary clinic. My Sophie actually gets excited to go to the vet.

We took our cat to compass for the first time, he was truly in bad shape and we didn't know why, Dr Baron was in a word AWESOME!! she was kind, intelligent and diagnosed him quickly. He is now back to his same old self. Compass is one of the best Veterinary Clinics I have ever been too.

I had such a great experience at Compass Veterinary Clinic with Dr. Connolly and her staff. They are all extremely compassionate, informing me that after my puppy's surgery they were cuddling him while he slept. After taking him home, they called the following day to ask how he was doing and talk me through any concerns I had. They even had him come back 5 days later at no charge to see if he was healing okay. I highly recommend dr. Connolly and the Compass veterinary Clinic staff! read more

To be fair, veterinary service in Oregon is rarely anything but great. Compass is one of the greatest of the great. It's that simple. Dr. Connolly and the staff really know what they're doing. ...and they really love dogs! read more

Dr. Connolly is so good with my kitties that we followed her across town when she opened Compass. She makes sure they're comfortable, gets down to their level (they are rarely on the standard examining table, as they tend to be more comfortable on the floor or her lap), and coos at and snuggles them as if they're her own. She clearly loves each animal that comes through her door. Even my scaredy cat loves her! Her prices are the most affordable I've seen, and when I've had a larger-than-expected bill, she's worked with me. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Connolly and Compass. (Her staff is awesome, too!) read more

After my vet retired I had to find a new one for my senior dog. I had routine visits with two other vet practices before discovering Compass. I am so happy I kept looking after so-so experiences at other places. Dr. Connolly and her staff are wonderful. My dog has never been so comfortable with vet staff before. The medical treatments and advice have made me feel confident in their expertise - as well as in their compassion as I seek to maximize quality of life over quantity for my beloved furry friend. read more
