We have been going to this vet for a few years now. They are located right outside of our community. We love the small town feel at this vet. The office staff is extremely helpful and they are very attentive. The vets are amazing. Their patience really helps those of us who are already worried about our pets. We love Dr. Feldhaus. She is very informative, takes the time to explain everything. She and her staff also calls us for progress checks on our pet. If you are in the Outer Banks, this place is a good place to take your pet. read more

Another annual visit for our girl pup. This time she is being tested all day for possible Cushing. The staff knows Nellie by her name. The vets remember her and her history. They are all so kind. The facility is clean and conveniently located to our home. Plenty of parking and usually open on Saturdays. read more

We were staying it OBX when my sweet Archie just collapsed. He is an old boxer ( 12). I k new I needed a vet. It was 7:30 am. All the vets were closed. I called Martin's Point vet at 8:00. they had no opening but said if I came over they would get me in. From the moment I walked in they treated us like we had been a client archie's whole life. From the receptionist, to the vet tech , to the vet they treated us with such compassion. The vet had to deliver some dreaded news, archie has cancer.She came in to the office in tears. I never would expect a walk in to get such care and compassion. If you are EVER in need of a vet while on vacation, or if you move to OBX I would recommend them without qualification. read more

Martin's Point Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

On vacation and had an emergency. The wait time for a walk in appointment was not bad at all and they helped my pup feel better.

Linked below are 3 photos of my dog. The first photo is of my dogs paw pad. We were away when we received of a call from this establishment, letting us know that "our dog had cut her foot," (pictured in 1st pic) and they were going to fix it free of charge. It was a pleasant conversation and we thanked them. A few days passed and we come to pick her up. She jumped in the car though a bit wobbly. We take her on home and when we arrive and get her out of the car, we noticed she is holding up her back left foot all shriveled up. Upon closed inspection, her foot was noticeably warm, very swollen, and had a puncture wound with pus seeping out on the side. We wiped it and called them back, getting obtaining another apt about an hour later. We took her there and they gave us meds & an evaluation free of charge. Very pleasant people to deal with, but all these things happened here and i've boarded her at other hospitals, nothing like this has ever happened. This just makes me curious about the safety of my dog and how the swollen foot wasn't noticed before, and possibly what else has slipped by. read more

Did not get in and out in 45 minutes, as the customer service staff responded to with my initial review. Sat for close to an hour to even be seen. The vet then spent all of 5 minutes with us. Yes, cats can be very defensive, especially when they're blind and are grabbed with large gloves. I did not expect anyone to otherwise be unsafe. My review was about the poor attention and insensitivity I was treated with. Was NOT given an appointment for next day, but rather told to drug the cat, come in and wait for someone to become available to see us. Hence the "no show". aka the choice not to put my cat through sitting there without an actual appointment time. Nothing but poor excuses to my initial review. Read the other reviews about the insensitive staff; not just mine. read more

Doctor who did surgery on my dog, did not come out and talk to us about the surgery and how it went. Only, 4 days later, technician called us, and I nicely asked, if we can talk to the doctor who did surgery. But, again, answer was- No, because doctor is busy! Unbelievable! Will never come there! read more

Martin's Point Veterinary Hospital - Prada the sugar Bear - Veterinarians Near Me - Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

Amazing, amazing experience here. We were visiting OBX for the first time and our pup hurt his tail at the beach. I was panicking thinking we'd have to leave early and somehow get him home, when my husband called Martin's Point and they said we can come for a "walk in" appointment ('walk in' because this is during Covid - so we actually can't walk in with him!). We arrive, call to let them know we are here, and wait in the parking lot. We were greeted by the vet tech who took him back and looked at him. The doctor who helped him brought him out herself and spoke with us! He is a little picky on who he decides to like, but he was VERY happy with the staff that we saw. We are so thankful to them for taking great care of our pittie! Thank you! read more

They were nice enough but last year I brought my 10 year old Bernese mountain dog/lab mix dog because he collapsed, they ran tests, sold us expensive food, charged us a lot of money, told us he was fine... he died in our house the next day. read more

I brought my golden retriever on vacation to obx and by the end of our trip she had a very large hot spot. The staff was incredibly friendly and made accommodations to help us out the next day. They made time to see her in between other appointments and explained everything very thoroughly. They took such good care of my dog last minute and the prices were truly unbeatable. I pay more at my home vet than I did for a drop in "emergency" appt. Whitney was our tech and she was so sweet, caring and explained everything so well. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby! read more

I was on vacation in the Outer Banks when my dog got very sick. I called on a Saturday morning to see if they had any availability to see him. They were booked full, but said they would not turn me away. I was told come down and they would fit me and my dog in between appointments. They did just that and took wonderful care of him. Just a few hours after the appointment he was back to his normal, happy and healthy self. I would highly recommend this vet and the kind staff. read more

We were in the Outer Banks for vacation when our frenchie came down with a UTI (which she has a propensity to get a few times per year). We left a message after business on Friday with them and they called us back at 8 am Saturday morning telling us that while technically had no appointments, they would not turn us away and to come in and wait for a time to see the vet. An hour later, we had antibiotics in hand! Everyone was so so nice and friendly and they did not nickel and dime us for a urine culture or urinalysis. We couldn't thank them enough. read more

We recently visited here when we were on vacation in the OBX and had a very good experience. My dog was experiencing some acute issues that required an immediate vet visit and chest x-ray. The staff at Martin's Point were able to get me a same-day appointment within an hour of me calling. The vet, techs, and front office staff were very responsive and nice. They worked with my dog's current cardiologist to get them the results they needed and were great about keeping me in the loop regarding the diagnosis. They called the following day to check in on my dog. Overall, I was really pleased with the level of care and professionalism extended to me and my dog. I would not hesitate to go back to Martin's Point if the need arises again. read more

We are on OBX for three months and we brought our two German shepherds with us. Our older shepherd had been having hip issue and was on pain meds, our vet told us when we left that if it didn't get better to go to a vet here. Unfortunately it didn't get better so our realtor recommended Martin's Point. Extremely nice staff, very caring and definitely great with our pup. The vet was extremely kind when explaining what they found on the X-ray. Even though the diagnosis wasn't good we left feeling confident with the findings and treatment options. The vet was easy to call with any questions and I didn't feel like I was bothering her. Kudos to a great staff and your caring means the world to us during this rough time. read more

Would have given negative stars if possible. They are refusing to renew my dog's prescription medication because I CANNOT reach my other vet in Arizona. Dog will probably die of heartworm now, even though Martin's Point had prescribed this exact medication in the past. It's on them if he dies without his meds. Now I have to wait a month to get back WEST. My poor puppy needs this and they REFUSE. Then they hung up on me. read more

Awesome staff! Family and I are on vacation this week, one of our retrievers was having issues with her ear. Scheduled a same day appointment, got some prescriptions for the pup, all is well! read more

Do not seem to care about the animals and are only in it for the money. Have heard WAY to many horror stories about this place from the locals and way to many stories of pets that have lost their lives due to this place! Do yourself a favor and go to another vet - literally any other vet! read more

We've been long time customers of Martin's Point Vet. Staff is very professional and courteous. A+ pet care and services. We used everthing from boarding and routine checkups to emergencies and end of life services. Totally happy with them. They are a busy vet, but they can usually fit you in. Dr. Horne and staff are great. read more

So disappointed in this business. We had taken our dogs there for a while, until one of our dogs had started not moving his back legs. We were very worried because he is a dachshund so we called this place and it was 30 minutes to close on a Friday. Understandable they would not want to take us, but it was a serious situation. So a particular receptionist said they could take us 8:30 the next morning. We wanted to ask if we should give him pain medicine and she said "well do you want the appointment or not?" So so so rude. And now our dachshund is in Raleigh about to have back surgery with a 50% chance of recovery. Might have been a better chance if they weren't so eager to blow off patients and go home. Never coming here again. read more

I can't say enough great things about Martin's Point Veterinary Hospital. My dog developed a horrible hot spot and we did not yet have a veterinarian in the area. I called and they gave me a same day appointment, and allowed me to come in with my dog, which is rare during Covid. They were so loving and caring with him. They treated the area, prescribed and filled meds for him, and explained to me several thoughts on how it happened and what to expect. They even let me use one of their leashes when we left because the harness I had for him was rubbing against the hot spot. Just amazing customer service and care for a pup that was hurting. read more

Grateful for the care our dog received last week while vacationing in Corolla. Very compassionate and caring and genuinely concerned for our dog's comfort after a serious fall. The office has called twice since returning to our home state to check on his status. Recommend this establishment for anyone living in or visiting the Outer Banks of NC. read more

So thankful for the kind and compassionate care we received while traveling out of town with our old lab. Got a same day emergency visit without a hassle. From the front end staff to the nurse and the doctor the care was excellent. I recommend this vet to anyone without reservation. read more

Excellent staff! They gave Lots of TLC to my dog who was suffering from a hot spot along his neck from vacationing too hard! I would highly recommend read more

We drove down to OBX from Northern VA, a trip of about 5-6 hours. It was too much for my 13-year-old dog. He was so stiff and sore that he could barely walk. I called Martin's Point Veterinary Hospital the next morning and was able to immediately get an appointment. We were seen by Dr. Horne, who was very reassuring and informative. He gave our dog a pain shot and a prescription, and he's doing much better now. He also said we could call if he isn't better, and we could try a laser treatment. I appreciate this step-by-step approach. Dr. Horne is very friendly and was great with our dog. If I'm in need of veterinary services again on the Outer Banks, I'll definitely go back to Martin's Point. Highly recommend. read more

Been bring my pets to Martins Point for 20 years and always satisfied with the care Dr. Horne and his staff provide. They seem to genuinely care about it's health and the pets meaning to me. read more

We've boarded our German shepherd dog twice now with them and we've had great service both times. The dog was well looked after, got out to play with the other dogs plenty of times, and we could come pick him up during the day and bring him back in the evening. They'll also bathe and groom. Definitely a good choice to board your pet if you're on the OBX and your vacation rental doesn't allow pets. read more

We have been taking our dog Katie, and two prior dogs to Martins Point vets since 2000. We have been extremely pleased with the level of care they provide. Service is prompt, friendly and competent. They also provide complimentary nail clipping which is very nice, and you can also board your pup there as well. read more

We, unfortunately, needed to bring our large breed dog who's 3, in last minute to treat an ever increasingly bad UTI. We were from out of town and only had a phone book at the house we were staying, so we were going in on this kind of blindly. We called about three places, and based on proximity, kindness of the person on the phone, and prices, we chose Martin's Point. Note: their address is not on their Yellow Pages ad/listing. Odd. They had a nice office we could locate easily with GPS and were able to see us right away. The vet tech, Rachel, was really knowledgeable and friendly. They didn't charge us for an ultrasound of his bladder, which was nice, but I had to ask about it first. However, when the scan turned out normal, they then insisted that we get a urine sample from him before they were able to diagnose or prescribe antibiotics or do anything further. Now, I'm no doctor or a vet, but he *clearly* had your basic, run of the mill UTI and was in pain and needed AB's stat. Instead, after just one failed attempt of the vet techs to get a urine sample, they had my husband and I, instead, chase him around in the hot sun for the next hour and a half to try and get a sample ourselves. It was also *us* who suggested we give him water to speed the process along. Not just speed it along, but because it was a hot day and he needed to hydrate. That was kind of irritating we had to suggest this ourselves. They have these huge electric lines behind their building, too, which buzz and make you dizzy, and the mosquitoes were biting us as we're chasing him around with a "magic pee pan" they called it - it was kind of a miserable experience. I mean, dogs with a UTI are not likely to go to the bathroom! We've never had to get a urine sample from previous UTI's at our normal vet office and kept asking, "are you sure? Can we please bypass?" We were on a trip for my sister's wedding and had to go! It's not like we were on vacation with nothing to do. They offered to have us take him back home and get the sample and come back, but it's too far of a hike from where we were staying (Corolla). So we found ourselves kind of stuck having to pay extra money to leave him there in a kennel for the next couple of hours until we could come back and get him. Then, when we did come back, we had to go out with him *again* to gather the sample ourselves. Um...shouldn't THEY be doing that? What are we paying for? What did they do while we were gone?! I don't think they gave him any more water in his cage while we were gone, either, because he was very thirsty when we came back. But he did go into the "magic pee pan", finally, almost immediately when we took him out. Urine splashed all over my hands. This is how desperate I was to get the AB's and get the heck out of there - I was willing to deal with this! No offer of gloves or anything, by the way. In fact, when the Doctor, herself, inspected him, she didn't use gloves and was touching him and the infected area all over and didn't wash her hands after. Yuck! Needless to say, I didn't shake her hand. They gave me the receipt and prided themselves that they didn't charge us for the ultrasound and for "other things". They were, however, able to do the test on site and give us the prescription right away, which was nice. All in all, we spent $175 and had an entire day wasted. But I feel like this is kind of normal for any vet's office. Next time, I'm making *them* get the sample if they so require one, and I'm definitely making sure there aren't overblown, unnecessary tests for something so basic. I'm adding points because the vet tech gave us tips on what kind of fiber to give him to prevent future UTI's and what to use to clean the area effectively. I would have preferred they had different methods for diagnosing something like this, though, and they definitely could have been more attentive to our beloved dog, especially considering it was a weekday afternoon and not super busy. read more

Definitely would recommend against taking your pet here. Got home form a few days away for the holiday to find my cat wasn't eating. Could only take him after I was done work. Was given multiple reasons why the cat would act like that but the only real way to see what was going on was to do blood tests. Was basically told that it was too inconvenient for them to do this test at 4:30, could almost see the vet looking at his watch to make sure he'd be done on time. Over $200 to be rushed in and out, and my cat still isn't back to normal. read more

We were on vacation and our dog injured herself. This vet was great and fixed her up. They didn't take advantage of out of town people and charged reasonable rates with outstanding care. Highly recommend them. read more

We vacation in Corolla and , over the years, have inevitably had to bring our dogs to the vet (one dog ingested a few ghost crabs-those sandy colored ones that run around on the beach at night, another rolled around on a dead fish and broke her tail, worms, etc.) and were fortunate enough to discover Martin's Point. The vets and staff members have all been terrific. This summer we needed to board our pooch for a couple of days and choose MP. Their facility is clean, air conditioned, and run by friendly staff who take the dogs out in the enclosure to run a couple times a day. The only thing that would make their kennels ideal would be to have a run attached to each kennel and a dog door to enable the dogs to come and go as they please. I highly recommend Martin's Point. read more

My dog had another round of issues with her bottom. Martin's Point saw us the same day and treated my Doggo. They even gave her a month's sample of a pumpkin seed to mix with the dry food to help her go to the bathroom. They were so nice. I'll definitely be back! read more

I ended up taking my cat in during a visit to the OBX, and I was so thankful for the folks at this clinic. My cat was in a lot of pain, and it wasn't obvious what was wrong. The vet and all the techs were so kind, sensitive, and gentle, which I greatly appreciated. They figured out the problem without too much painful probing on my poor kitty. And I didn't feel like they pressured me to spend gobs of money on superfluous tests and X-rays. Overall it was a good experience that could've been much worse. read more

We had a terrible experience. Our dog was very ill. We went there two days before a holiday and were told they could not care for our dog because no one would be there for his recovery. Their holiday was definitely more important than our beloved pet. Also, we were given two different possible diagnoses by two different vets at this Hospital. They charged us hundreds of dollars to not give any meaningful treatment. They sent us on over an hour drive to Blue Pearl Specialty and Emergency Hospital in Chesapeake, Virginia. Our poor dog suffered on the long drive. Even worse, the "emergency" hospital did not admit him for hours and, since it was the evening, said they would run tests the next day. Our poor dog never made it to tests the next day as he passed away early the next morning. But, we were still charged $1800 to not even know what killed him. If you are going to push us off on another vet, and make us drive over an hour while our dog suffers, you should be certain the referral is to a hospital that will render prompt quality treatment. We now have four other pets, although our Old English Sheepdog is not replaceable, but I will never take any of them to Martin's Point. They helped kill our dog by not caring for him and by making a terrible referral. Please protect your pets and take them to someone who cares. read more

We were staying in Corolla, NC last week when my dog was showing signs he was not well. I found this vet on Yelp and decided to take him to them. I am so glad I did. We walked in without an appointment. They kept reassuring us that we would be seen soon. they were waiting on records to be sent from our home vet. Teddy was suffering from Congestive Heart Failure. They stayed late to treat him. Kept reassuring us that it was not as bad as it seemed. They gave him fluids and 3 heart meds. We decided to take him back to the rental house so we could monitor him over night as opposed to driving another hour and a half to Chesapeake to the Animal Hospital that had staff around the clock. They set up and appointment for the next morning for a follow up. We ere there the next morning at 9 am. He was doing so much better. Without the help of Dr. Partlow and the staff at Martin's Point Vet. Hosp. I am not sure we would still have our precious Teddy still with us. I know he will have to be on heart meds the rest of his life and that it will progressively get worse but as of today Teddy is feeling really good and is back to his old self. Thank You Dr. Partlow and Staff for being so kind and caring. It will not be forgotten. read more

When we were leaving our beach rental yesterday (8/24/18) afternoon, we had a disaster with our young, newly adopted, puppy of 14 weeks. We went straight to Martin's Point. Although we have taken our dogs to OBX every year, we had never had to seek out medical assistance. They took us in immediately, took X-Rays, provided pain medication and antibiotics. All the staff there from the receptionist to the Vet were extremely nice and attentive to not only out pet, but to all of us really who were quite upset about the accident. I wish this facility was close to our residence in Maryland so they could be our regular Vet. I'm 60 years old and have had dogs all my life. I've had some good vets but this facility is special. read more

Our furry baby injured her leg while visiting the Outer Banks. From my first interaction on the phone through our visit with Dr. Horn, we were treated exceptionally!

Thank you for working us into your busy schedule! read more
