I was so nervous when my 100 pound American Staffy, Harley, tore his ACL. He's a big boy with little legs (lol) and a lot of personality, so the idea of surgery had me stressed out. But from the moment we walked into the office, I knew he was in the best hands. First of all, the place is clean (and doesn't smell like a typical vet office, which is a big win already). The entire team, from the receptionists to the vet techs, were kind, patient, and genuinely caring. I called a lot during the surgery (sorry, team ), and not once did anyone make me feel like I was a bother. They were always sweet and thoughtful, and took time to answer all my nervous questions. The doctor was amazing. He explained everything clearly, which helped me go from anxious to confident about the surgery. Harley's procedure went perfectly, and now we're on day five of recovery, his sutures look fantastic, the swelling has gone way down, and the bruising is almost gone too! Also worth mentioning, I had quotes from another vet that were almost double the cost. This team was honest, transparent, and incredibly fair. If you're looking for a vet who treats your fur baby like family (and also doesn't judge when your "baby" weighs 100 pounds and still tries to sit on your lap), this is the place. I can't thank them enough. 10/10 recommend, Harley gives it two paws up (when he's allowed to use both again read more

We came here when our dog was giving birth. The staff was super accommodating, understanding, well trained and nice. This is one of the nicest vets I've ever been to and it doesn't have that usual vet smell, which is a good thing. I will bring my pets here in the future. read more

Because of the sharp eye for detail of the orthopedic assistants in patients' notes and my second call of concern to them about a mistaken prognosis from a prior visit to my baby's hurt knee, I will praise this vet group. They even refunded my prior visit that went towards the surgery costs. My fur baby underwent a TPLO surgery. The doctor and his assistant were incredibly helpful and thoroughly explained what needed to be done. My girl is slowly recovering, and as long as I'm in this area, I'll always go back here. Thanks OVG! read more

We live in Murphys and switched to OVG last year when our doodle needed her teeth cleaned. They impressed us and we have made them our Lucy's vet for all her needs. July 3rd we took Lucy in for an emergency visit as we could tell something was wrong. We were in Shock when Dr Willis ran tests and informed us she had a burst spleen. This is a very serious thing and not uncommon in dogs. She had a 30% chance of survival. Dr Willis removed her spleen and saved her life! She and the staff at OVG are amazing. read more

Up until this week I would have given OVG SIX stars. I originally took my GSD puppy there to figure out what was wrong with one of her legs and she ended up having two surgeries, one to correct uneven bone lengths and one arthrodesis procedure which included putting in a metal plate from mid-forearm through her middle toe. The care she received from Dr. Trathan and team was OUTSTANDING. Unfortunately 18 months ago she developed a bone infection running the length of that metal plate and it turned out that several of the screws had broken as well. She had another surgery to remove all the metal, and started on multiple courses of antibiotics to eliminate the infection. Sadly as soon as she would come off the oral antibiotics the infection would come back, so Dr. Trathan suggested we try implanting antibiotic beads in the areas where there was no blood flow, in hopes of getting at the last pockets of infection. The first attempt worked for 6 months, and the second worked for four. After that second bead surgery Dr. Trathan informed me that he had sold the practice to a management group and would be moving to England. This weekend her paw began to look puffy and it was clear that the infection had returned very suddenly (Sunday morning her paw was normal, by night time it was filled with fluid and beginning to ooze). I called first thing Monday morning to ask what he recommended we do - a referral to UC Davis in case they had other ideas, oral antibiotics temporarily til we could figure out the next course of action, or straight to amputation. He was not at work on Monday but I was told they'd reach out to his wife and have her ask what he recommended and that they'd call me back in a couple hours. When I received that followup call it was clear that no information had been passed to the "member of the management team" who called me back and she said she would "reach out to his wife and have her ask what he recommended and that call back in a couple hours." which is what I'd already been told several hours previously. At this point I decided to take Prima to an emergency vet located more than an hour from my home so they could at least drain the fluid from her paw, send out a culture to see what bacteria were present, and wrap her paw properly to get us through until I could speak to Dr. Trathan (on Tuesday when he returned to the office). I was halfway to that emergency vet when I finally received a call from OVG to say that I could give her one of the antibiotics she'd previously had (not the one that had worked with the MRSA strain she had) and take her to Oakdale (a two-hour drive away) if I wanted her to be seen. That would have been possible if I'd heard back earlier, but this was mid-afternoon and driving down to Oakdale from my home was not feasible, especially since I was already on the way to the ER with her. Dr. Trathan called on Tuesday and after a discussion of the options we decided to get Prima in for forelimb amputation on Wednesday. I took her down Tuesday, she spent the night, then had the surgery, and I picked her up on Thursday. As with all her other procedures the communication from the OVG team was great, and we made the follow-up appointment for removal of stitches and assessment of the surgery in two weeks. This morning I called OVG to ask about additional pain management. I asked what they'd recommend for additional pain relief and said my local vet had suggested Tylenol (something I was not aware was ok for dogs). When I got a call back the woman I spoke to (who turned out to be the new PRACTICE MANAGER!!!) started by saying "you called to ask about using Tylenol" which was not the case. I called to ask about additional pain management, and had (as a follow on inquiry) asked about my local vet's recommendation of Tylenol. So clearly my message had not been passed along properly, just as my message on Monday had not been passed on to Dr. Trathan as I'd been told it would. I asked again what additional pain management would be appropriate and also what she had been given at OVG. Shea May (the manager) put me on hold to ask Dr. Trathan and then my call was disconnected. I called back and eventually was routed back to her. She said Tylenol was fine and that Prima had been given a 3-day nerve block. I asked about the surgisuit and her immediate answer was no, keep the cone on so Prima wouldn't lick. I explained that I was only considering it for night time when she's asleep because she's right next to me, but was concerned about possible rubbing on the incision as it heals. Ms. May was extremely condescending, dismissive and rude. I objected to that and an hour ago received an email from her stating that she'd "decided to terminate our professional relationship" due to a "history of inappropriate demeanor and repeated negative attitude." I have NEVER been inappropriate or rude with anyone at OVG until today when I raised my voice in frustration with this woman. read more

I had been taking my 15 year old cat here for regular checkups since she had issues with UTIs. I know she was getting up there in age so I wanted to make sure everything was ok with her, all her symptoms were blamed on possible UTI related issues and possible start of kidney issues, but as stated by Oakdale Vet Group nothing urgent or immediate. My cat's condition started to worsen and I would be more frequent in my visits. They let me know all her vitals were ok and there was nothing to be concerned about immediately, just running up my bill and putting me in debt. Eventually my cat was in serious pain. We took her over to Oakdale Vet group and they let me know there was fluid in her chest, and did a transfer to Standiford Vet. They let us know she had an extreme progression of cancer throughout her abdomen and they could tell without even running an MRI. We had to put her down immediately the day of to let her have some peace. My concern with Oakdale Vet group is they are just worried about collecting bills and not actually concerned over the safety of our animals. If they had the competency to suggest an MRI when her symptoms started and gradually worsened we would have caught the issue early my cat would still be with me. read more

My dog, Morgan, had both of his TPLO surgery done here at this hospital. I had an amazing experience with my dog's first TPLO surgery that I knew I could trust Dr. Ned again when my dog hurt his other leg. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and supportive. They made the process so easy and simple. Dr. Ned is an amazing doctor and is one of the vets I trust. I have recommended this hospital to family, friends, and coworkers. Can't thank enough the care they gave to my dog. He has fully recovered and is doing so well! I truly appreciate Dr. Ned and his team. Totally worth the 2hr drive ! read more

Oakdale Veterinary Group - Sleeping peacefully, shhhh - Veterinarians Near Me - Oakdale, California

Oakdale Veterinary Group is absolutely the very BEST vet I have ever been to, hands down. I was referred by a friend when I needed a vet to put my sick dog to sleep. When I say they went above and beyond? That is no exaggeration. The vet tech Trent was so caring... we were so Impressed with how professional yet compassionate he was. He explained everything that was going to happen from start to finish. He made sure we understood everything and answered all of our questions. After our sweet dog was prepped he brought him back and let us know we had as much time with him as we needed and he would call the vet in only when we were ready. Dr.Walsh came in and was very sympathetic, caring and took the time to go over everything with us again. She was calm and my dog was relaxed....she took her time and made it a very peaceful process. She was amazing. After we were done, they let us leave and wait in our car while they prepared a mold of his paw print and an ink print of his paws and nose...as sad as we were it gave us something to hold onto. I would definitely recommend this Vet group to everyone. I don't think our experience would have been the same had we went anywhere else. They were exceptional in their care and service. If I could give the 10 stars, I would... read more

I hope your puppy never needs a TPLO surgery resulting from a torn CCL. However, if you should find yourself in the unfortunate situation that I found myself in earlier this year, I would very highly recommend that you consider OVG. Dr Ned Tartan is a magician, and was god-sent for our 6 year old puppy Zara. The facilities are so so clean and swanky, the staff so welcoming, and the surgeon so proficient. My furry pet was trotting 12-14 weeks after the surgery, and running in 16-18 weeks. Now, about 6 months later, it is as if she never had a CCL tear. The surgery day experiment was awesome, as were the 3 follow-on consultations. Thank you, thank you, thank you OVG and hat-tip to Dr Ned. read more

This review is LONG overdue for Dr. Ned Trathan and the rest of his staff! If I could give 10 stars I would. My dog, Penelope, had her first TPLO surgery done by Dr. Trathan at their previous location 2.5 years ago. She healed beautifully with no complications and has used her leg well since then, no limping at all! Unfortunately, Penelope tore her CCL and meniscus on her other leg about a month ago. They were very flexible with scheduling her for surgery, and we were able to get her in quickly and within our time frame. She is currently 4 days PO and doing very well. She stayed overnight following the surgery, and I was sent a text that evening with not only an update on how she was doing but also a photo of her which made me feel so much more at ease. Not only is Dr. Trathan well experienced with TPLO surgeries, but his prices are SO much more affordable than any of the specialty hospitals here in the Bay Area. It was 10000% worth the almost 2 hour drive for us and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you again for the excellent care you provided my pup Penelope with. We are forever grateful for OVG and I would highly recommend this hospital to all of my family, friends and peers. read more

We love Oakdale Vetrinary The staff and the care for Deuce and CoCo is amazing . It's clean and professional.

Oakdale veterinary group, I want to thank you for how you treated my dog Buddy on 3/5/25 when he was brought in with serious health issues. Your compassion and quick efforts diagnosing his diabetes and other issues allowed my wife and myself to make the best treatment decision for Buddy. I am a combat veteran who attempted to take my life thirteen years ago and Buddy was one of the things that helped bring me out of the darkness I found myself in. He has always been by my side and been a great companion on my journey back. Thank you for allowing me time to say goodbye to Buddy and allowing me to hold him while he took his last breath. Your staff is top notch and again thank you, thank you, thank you. Jeffrey Freeman USAF veteran and Buddy's friend read more

Took my dog to get her mouth checked out since it was swollen. She needed teeth removed and every single staff member was so helpful and sweet. Never had a bad moment. And they took amazing care of my dog and charge a reasonable amount unlike other places that are money hungry. This place truly takes care of your pets, will always recommend this place :) read more

Unfortunately, our 14 month old lab required surgery to repair her torn CCL. I have a good friend whose dog had had surgery for the same thing and he told me the recovery was a nightmare. He went on to tell me that he'd heard great things about a vet in Oakdale, but couldn't remember the name. He told me that he'd heard the recovery was more manageable. In the meantime we did research and read many positive reviews about Dr. Ned at Oakdale Veterinary Group (OVG). Ironically, my friend contacted me and recommended I check out OVG. We're glad we did. Dr. Ned is the best! He explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand and answered any of our questions regarding the TPLO surgery and the recovery. He went on to explain that it would be highly likely that if our dog tore one CCL, she'd also tear the other one too. I had heard that too. Our dog recovered wonderfully from the first surgery. The recovery required limiting activity, but no slinging or complicated measures. Activity started increasing over a 12 week period until fully released. There's follow up appointments at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 12 weeks post surgery. Unfortunately, she's showing signs of needing to have surgery on the other stifle. I'm going back to Dr. Ned at OVG for an evaluation and if surgery is required, I'll have him do it without hesitation. read more

OVG is so nice overall! I was surprised how beautiful the building was inside and out. Very modern looking. Everything was clean. My fur baby saw Dr. Willis who was kind and caring.

From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with kindness. Not only us but our Abby girl as well. We went into this appointment not knowing what to expect and of course anxious. We were numerously comforted in the times we needed it. Unfortunately the news was not good. Dr Davis, took the time to explain to us what was going on and what she best recommended we do. We had one more week with our girl. Taking her back to put her in heaven was a very hard decision but every staff member made us feel so loved and our Abby girl. Extra thanks to Dr Davis for all the extra care and love she made us feel. I cannot express enough how much we recommend this office. Loving, caring, and very professional. Thank you for not only taking care of us in a very hard time but our fur baby too. read more

If it were possible to give this veterinary practice more than 5 stars, we would. Our Bernese Mountain Dog, Mavis, tore her left knee (ACL) and required surgery. We sought out multiple opinions, researched numerous options and surgeons/clinics all over the state, including UC Davis. It became clear throughout our research that Mavis would likely require TPLO surgery. Our local vet (whom we adore) recommended Oakdale Veterinary Group ("OVG") in Oakdale, CA., 100 miles/2 hours away from our home for the surgery. From the moment we spoke to the OVG practice manager, Madison (who happens to be Dr. Ned Trathan, the lead orthopedic surgeon's wife), we had a sense of deep comfort and understanding of what the procedure would entail, the likelihood of success, the recovery period, and the cost. The conversation with Madison was so informative, so detailed and thorough, it gave us confidence to proceed with this significant procedure on our beloved 6 year old family dog. Dr. Trathan spent a great deal of time with us walking through every step of the procedure ahead of time. He took x-rays, checked her blood, heart, did a complete physical review prior to surgery. Only once he was comfortable that Mavis was ready for surgery, did he proceed. Mavis stayed at OVG the day of surgery and one night afterwards in the beautiful, clean, OVG clinic and surgery center/hospital. There was a 12 week recovery period, all of which was exactly as Dr. Trathan told us it would be; no infections; no complications; pain was well controlled with precise meds prescribed so she was comfortable throughout her recovery. We had access to the Doctor the whole time and saw him at 2, 6, and 12 weeks for post op visits, including x rays. All of this was included in the cost as quoted up front which was absolutely in line, if not slightly less, than other quotes that we had received in the Bay Area. Dr Trathan specializes in TPLO surgery. He does many of these surgeries a week and has an astonishingly high success rate, much higher than any other doctor that we had interviewed. You can see it in his patients. Our Mavis is now over 4 months post-op and is back to her pre-injury self. She runs, plays, and has her quality of life back. We are so grateful to have met Dr. Trathan and Madison and their amazing team. This is the only doctor I would ever recommend for TPLO surgery. A+++, 10 stars, masters at their craft. We have such confidence in their care that we are willing to drive the distance to book teeth cleaning next. We just got home from a 2 hour walk and Mavis' participation would not have been possible without OVG. Thank you OVG for giving Mavis and our family our joyous, healthy, happy dog back! read more
