We have a new puppy and everyone was so kind and caring with him. He wasn't scared of anything and he had shots and nail trim. They called the next day to see how he was doing after shots. They are a bit expensive but we felt really good about his care. read more

Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Oakhurst, New Jersey

I took my German Shrphard . For an ear infection way over priced the staff very unfriendly nothing special & poor quality of staff workers. Would never go back. My Dog is my child . read more

I was recommended by a few close friends that brought their dogs there and the experience was nothing but amazing. The staff could not have been friendlier and so professional and they accept carecredit which was a big concern for me. We saw Dr. Golodik and he was beyond professional and his demeanor was so pleasant that I just felt so comfortable and trusting but I've heard that all of the vets there are so good and accomodating. The place is immaculate and amazing customer service. read more

Dr. Alberta treated our "old girl" Gertie on an emergency visit last week. Being almost 20 years old, Gertie is actually quite healthy, but woke up with a disturbing eye problem. I called Oakhurst Vet and rushed over. Dr. Alberta requested to keep her for several hours so she could test and observe her. Extremely kind and an excellent listener, Dr. Alberta is an astute diagnostician. She explained, in detail, Gertie's current challenge and sent us home feeling confident and calmer that Gertie would be feeling better. Our family's 4 cats: Luna, Homer, Florence + Gertie have been cared for at Oakhurst for many years. I have written many accolades expounding the extraordinary care they have received at Oakhurst Vet, and yet with every visit there is more to say about the consistent and phenomenal care our cats receive. The support is multi-faceted, as the staff from front desk to the techs, are all outstanding. We are deeply grateful for the consistent quality, warmth and wisdom provided by Oakhurst Vet. I offer my deep gratitude to Dr. Alberta for her recent medical support of my dear cat Gertie. read more

Poor customer service from the front desk. I've been a client for 3 pets for well over 20 years. I called for an appointment for my dog and understand they can't accommodate for tonight but was informed of 3 times available for tomorrow. I literally called back in 30 seconds and was told I couldn't get the appointment I requested and needed to call back in the morning. Beyond ridiculous. The front desk needs to get their information straight. read more

We've been loyal patients/customers for years since our cat was diagnosed with diabetes. There have been several red flags along the way including the time they ushered my husband into a room without asking his name first and almost took our cat to be euthanized because of a "mix up". The vets we had dealt with there Dr Thomesy and Dr Schock had been caring and compassionate however and so we stayed. Recently however this same diabetic cat was very ill overnight vomiting repeatedly. We took him to the vet immediately in the morning and explained we thought he ate or drank something he shouldn't have. We explained that he had been acting 100% normal until this episode. Dr. Levinson never listened to my husbands insight on our cats behavior. She never took his past medical history or the fact that his blood sugar always spikes dramatically at the vet due to anxiety into consideration. We signed off on the astronomical quote for 2-3 days care with the stipulation that they only provide fluids, monitor his blood sugar, and do blood work and call us before further testing. Instead they continued to do X-rays and then would not discharge him until 6:30pm the following day despite his condition drastically improving. They then ran additional blood tests to "check his electrolytes". All of this put him conveniently over the 24 hour mark so we could be charged more. In the end we were charged $2000 for a cat who was dehydrated from vomiting and needed fluids. I tried talking to the business manager, Dr. Levinson, and the practice manger following our cat's discharge even though my husband had been the one who had taken him to the vet. My husband has been dealing with some concerning health issues and I wanted to take some stress off his plate and explained this to all three women I spoke with when they repeatedly reminded me that I was not in the room when these conversations about my cats care took place. I have never been treated more rudely or like I or my cat did not matter in my life and eventually lost my cool and yelled, something which, as a customer service provider myself, I never do. We used to think OVH was an empathetic and thorough practice. Now I'm convinced they're just looking to maximize what they can charge at any cost. There's no empathy or understanding whatsoever. read more

Staff and Vets are top notch! Clean facility and professionalism of their employees can't be matched.

These "doctors" gave a dog 3x the needed amount of a heart worm treatment and killed it. They are still charging the owner for the treatment and the cost it took to "save" the animal. PLEASE PLEASE do not take your precious animals here. read more

Thank you Dr, Schroeder and Shiffman for taking such good care of our June-bug in her hour of need. Thank you for all the years you , all of the doctors and staff took care of our cats.

Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital - Loved the photo op area! - Veterinarians Near Me - Oakhurst, New Jersey

I have to first comment on the review regarding the price to spay a kitten. I had one kitten spayed and one neutered on the same day. They offered overnight stay free for my male so they would both be together and less stressed. I don't know what other vet would offer that. You can pay less someplace else without overnight care if you don't want pain medication administered which keeps your pet comfortable. I felt confident that my kittens were being well taken care of. That's what matters to me. I have been using Oakhurst Veterinarian Hospital for over 20 years. I've watched it grow into an amazing facility. I recommend them highly. Thank you Dr. Wefer , Dr. Riggio, Dr. Rawlins and Dr. Levinson for your dedication to the animals in your care. read more

I have been a loyal customer of this group for 40 years. I have noticed in the last few years that we never get the same vet and many look very young and inexperienced. Regardless, I put my trust in them. I have been taking my best friend there since he was a baby. In the last few year's he had some blood test results that were not totally normal. He also had a lump on his side. I was told many times that it was fatty and not anything to be concerned about. About 2 months ago he was clearly not feeling well and developed a small lump on his head. The vet referred me to Northstar for a CT scan. The results came back that my healthy energetic dog was riddled with cancer. I now know that there is a blood test for this and this vet never ever asked me if i wanted to pursue any testing. My dogs are family and they know that. I have never spared any expense in taking care of my dogs. I hold this place responsible for killing my best friend. He was a very smart energetic 13 year old dog that played with his brother every day. I trusted this place to get in front of these things and recommend any testing that would help me save my dog. They failed miserably and I don't want anyone else to experience what I did. I believe that this place has become very corporate in the recent years and they are all about churning money. I trusted them with my Buddy and they really blew it. I wasn't sure I was going to write this review but I felt I needed to warn people what this place is capable of. Needless to say, no dog of mine will ever step foot in here again. I hope they are happy about what this once great animal hospital has become. read more

Love the front desk crew all the way back to the groomers!!! Of course the Doctors are top notch. Shout out to Dr C for loving/treating my dog as if it was his own. Every time I take my pup down Monmouth Rd whether we are going to vet or not he starts crying (joyful cry) when we are a few streets away. read more

Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Oakhurst, New Jersey

Professional and knowledgeable doctors who care about your pet. Very pricey though and seem to push meds a bit much.

Great place. Been coming for decades. Blah Blah... Yelp would not let me leave my review without writing a novel. Sometimes yelp insists users write a very long review. I find that frustrating. One more reason to hate Yelp. If I can say all I need to say in 6 words or less Yelp should let me leave a review. read more

I have been taking my past & present pets to Oakhurst Vet for 40 years now. And we mostly use Dr. Wefer he is the absolute best not only in his Veterinary skills but also in his kind, empathetic, bedside manor. I have had a dog with cancer treated there. Another 11 Year old who recently had surgery . A neighborhood dog came in after being hit by a car and was fine after being treated there. Two cats lived with my family and had regular wellness treatments by Dr. Wefer and lived 20 years. Cannot say enough about Oakhurst Vet. Yes you may pay a little bit more but they're worth every cent for the fine care you get. read more

PLEASE READ!! My mother and I had to put our dog down of 13 years today. There was no compassion or empathy shown by the staff. Instead of allowing my mom to be with him throughout the process they separated Bear from us, because of Covid and would not let us see him for 20 minutes. 13 years he was a part of our family, and because of Covid, when hospitals, geriatric units, and schools have opened up, this place separated a dog and his owner at his last moments of life. I am appalled and disgusted by the way we were treated by the staff and the selfishness they exhibited in caring for themselves before their customers and especially before the animals. Our dog was terrified and they did not care. Doctors and nurses have been heroes and on the front line.. and these people would gladly let a dog emotionally suffer at the end to protect themselves even though every precaution had been taken in accordance with Covid guidelines. I do not recommend, and frankly believe their business is about money rather than the animal. My mom and I will never be able to get back what was taken from us today and neither will our deceased dog. read more

My fur family of 4 may not love the vets office but their mother does! This office has always been pleasant to go to and the prices are reasonable. The vets are thorough and listen to your concerns, careful to make your pet feel comfortable. The ladies who worked the front desk are very polite and informative too. Thankfully we've never had to come here in the case of an emergency but we've had about 5 wellness visits so far this year; definitely recommend you take your beloved pet here. read more

Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital - Before Hugo's first visit with his new veterinarian. - Veterinarians Near Me - Oakhurst, New Jersey

I've been going to Oakhurst for over 25yrs...they have always been exceptional..caring and compassionate with all our dogs and cats. I can honestly say I've become friends with many of the staff due to their wonderful nature. I've recommended many friends who are equally as pleased. Yes..they are a bit expensive but "you get what you pay for" and I always insist on the best for my "babies"! read more

PLEASE READ. First let me say this review does not reflect Dr. Shock. She is kind, patient, and very professional. Yes, this place is overpriced as advertised, but that's not my issue. My dog, HATES the vet and thrashes on the table. I'm impressed that Dr. Shock can accomplish anything when we bring in our pup. He was prescribed Prozac due to this and has been doing amazing with it. After we ran out of the first supply I called and ordered a refill which they did happily and sent me on my way. However, I wanted to shop and see if there was a cheaper option. Chewy had it for a better price plus they deliver right to your door! All you have to do is list the name, number, and fax number of your current clinic and ChewyRx will contact them to get it approved and shipped, I ordered. I waited a week and no shipment so I called Chewy. They contacted Oakhurst 3 times and they have not heard back. I called the Oakhurst pharmacy and they tell me that they haven't received anything, but they also took a shot (bold) and said "this is why you shouldn't use 3rd party pharmacies". Hm, Chewy is a reputable company, but let me check back. I get on the phone with Chewy for the second time. Chewy customer service rep confirmed that yes, we have the correct number, yes we have confirmation of faxes being received and then I double checked with him and reconfirmed it all again just to be sure. I call Oakhurst back and explain that Chewy has confirmed with me that they have all the correct info and have attempted to contact several times and the Oakhurst pharmacy insists they haven't received anything...I'm being lied to, my money is on OVH. Why? Because they don't want to lose the business. I call Chewy back (3rd time) the customer service rep says I'll have our pharmacy call them now. Chewy tells me they picked up the phone this time, but they are not approving my order. Time to call Oakhurst. Now I'm in full "Karen" mode and ask to speak to a manager. So I connect with manager on duty Katie. Mind you this is my 3rd time calling so I wasn't necessarily warm I was direct and explained the situation, to which Katie doubles down and says we haven't received anything from chewy. Lie. Knowing you are being lied to is a vulnerable feeling for a customer. Feeling this way I decide to press and tell Katie that Chewy has assured me they have sent multiple faxes over and confirmed the number with them so do you mind if I check the incoming faxes? Folks, would you like to know what Katie decided would be an appropriate response to that question? Hang up the phone. That's right, click call ended. Bye. Was I actually going to check the faxes, of course not. But it answers my lying question. I counted the receipts I have on file and in one year I have spent $3,092 at OVH and I was hung up on. I have been working in customer facing, and customer serving roles my whole life. I have had customers call me at times as early as 4 am and as late as midnight. I've been screamed at, cursed at, etc. Do you know how many times I have hung up on a customer? Zero. 0. Zero0. NEVER. Hold on this story gets better. I call back "Could you please connect me with Katie?" Katie answers, yes hello.."Yes hi Katie I was just on the phone with you I believe we got disconnected." Her response (drumroll...) "Oh no we didn't get disconnected I hung up the phone." (Insert x's on eyes emoji). I could not believe my ears. I collect myself and finally get to the root cause of the sneakiness and not approving the chewy order. "Your dog needs to come in for some $$$Bloodwork$$$ before we can write a script for you to mail Chewy." Mind you, they didn't hesitate to refill on their own, but now that a cheaper more convenient chewy is asking for it.....blood$$work. In between all this ChewyRx actually reached out to me directly and apologizing saying "it is unusual how difficult they are being". Vindication. Conclusion: I asked for my dogs medical records and away we go. Where are we going? No clue. But a quick google search yielded over 7 Veterinarians within a 2 mile radius of my home. It isn't about the money and of course everything is a business, even Veterinary Hospitals. According to the Executive Board Company a study conducted in 2012 proved that Value to price ratio was actually only important to 9% of the people they polled, where as a staggering 53% said the buying experience was the most important thing to them. My experience: being lied to and hung up on absolutely warrants me leaving and taking my loyalty to a competitor and a closer veterinary hospital. If you do the math approximately $30k-$40k over the course of a dog's lifetime will be spent for its corresponding care. Spend it wisely with someone who appreciates your business and at the very least doesn't LIE to you. "Tell a lie once and all your truths become questionable." Stay tuned for a response from owner/director Scott D that will include some sort of clinical jargon to justify their actions. read more

as advertised - way over-priced (an understatement) but how rude and unprofessional can't be overstated. in 5 years coming here they have NOT once made an appointment on time. pet care is adequate but certainly nothing to write home about. and enough already with the covid nonsense and having to wait outside 25 minutes past scheduled appointment - only to wait 10 more minutes once inside - and have to be masked up even after restrictions - ownership is on another agenda and obviously politically owned / motivated. give me a break read more

They're insanely overpriced. I had to get my kitten spayed which should cost around $200. Called them to confirm the price and they told me she needed blood work, etc. ahead of time - said it would cost me about $320 on top of the $200 fee to be spayed. I called three other places who all confirmed that was a ridiculous amount of money to pay for a simple procedure. Please do not waste your money - there are other vets to visit that cost far less and will take good care of your critters. read more

Always amazing service and results. I always take my dogs here. It's costly but it's worth the caliber employees they have on staff. I trust them with my pets read more

I went here to the OVetH few months ago & now hesitant of going back for the dog's regular check-up. Did NOT have a pleasant experience; it felt as if she, the DVM was talking down at us. She was trying to Force/Push certain procedure onto our dog. I could tell she was concerned but Talking Down, that's Rude (prob b/c i went w/o make-up on). But i must admit that the staff were quite considerate & nice. read more

Dr. Campbell is the best!! He really knows how to treat Ms. Dolly :)

I moved back home from NYC with my dog over the winter and had the hardest time choosing a vet due to all the negative reviews for most of them. Over protective of my dog is an understatement especially after 10 years of assembly line Vets in New York. I was referred here through a woman my mother knows that works in the office. I needed to have his teeth cleaned and during the exam Dr Mohney could not have been any more pleasant. Strongly advised I should get him on flea and tick preventative due to the deer tick problem out this way. Thank god for her because I've never even seen a tick living in the big apple. Unfortunately, when his blood test came back in it showed that he was positive for Lyme disease. During the phone call I assume she could sense I was falling apart with fear (all I was thinking is I failed my pup) She talked to me until I was calm. Explained everything without me even asking a question. I could not have been more at ease. Im used to the 30 second call that sounds as if they are reading from a piece of paper. He had the teeth cleaning and needed a couple extractions and everything went wonderfully! I do not feel they push anything on me that he didn't need. She Suggested supplements and said they carry them there or I can look elsewhere. The prices are a lot higher then I normally pay and more then I was expecting but for the caring and knowledgable services that were extended to me it's worth every penny! My baby is already 10 and would like him around as long as possible. No doubt that this hospital will keep him in good health. read more

The staff here are very knowledgeable and very caring. However, they do seem pushy about shots and procedures that I'm not sure if my dog really needs. And they certainly are not the cheapest Vet out there. They would get five stars if I felt confident that they were telling me what I really needed to know and do for my dog and not pushing products and services on me. We moved and switched to a different vet, but I would have stayed if we were still local. I just would have done more research on my own to make sure I wasn't overpaying for what my dog needs. The facilities are incredibly clean and beautiful! read more

I am extremely unsatisfied with my visit on 12/22/17. A few weeks prior to my visit, I had called and spoke with a woman named Becca, explaining the reasoning as to why I would be needing to utilize their boarding services for my 3 months old kitten during my trip home for the holidays. I was driving from VA to NJ, and needed a half-days boarding for her, and she verified that I would need to come in a little early to have my kitten examined by one of their veterinarians. She did not once, ever mention that there was a possibility that my kitten would be getting shots, and confirmed that the total cost of the boarding services would be $90. Fast forward to 12/22/17. I arrive at Oakhurst and was welcomed by very kind women at the front desk who were able to put my kitten and me in one of their rooms while we waited for the veterinarian. I thought I had picked a good spot when I saw how comfortable my kitten was around everybody, and felt that she would be in good hands once I left (since I was very nervous leaving her at a new place for a few hours). 20 minutes later, a male vet comes in, (I unfortunately do not remember his name nor do I ever want to remember it). My kitten was not fond of him and to be honest neither was I. He barely examined her, and appeared nervous to since she was hissing at him. All of a sudden, he says to the vet assistant, "let's wrap her in a towel, and make her more comfortable." He pulled out an instrument (which at the time I thought was a thermometer) and thought he would be taking her temperature. He did NOT once inform me of what he was going to be doing next, but then all of a sudden I see him injecting some vaccine into my kitten without ANY of my consent. As he quickly reached for the second needle (which I then quickly realized it was) I immediately informed him to stop and demand what he was injecting into my cat. Like before, he seemed completely nervous and had a look on his face as if he had done something wrong. He informed me that he had given her the rabies vaccine and was also going to give her the distemper one as well. I at this point am in tears and told him that she already received the distemper and was going to get the rabies vaccine from our primary vet in January, and that NOBODY told me she was going to be receiving shots. His comment to me was, "Well, didn't the front desk inform you that she was going to get the vaccines?" Um no, they hadn't. And to be honest I would NEVER let my kitten get vaccines form a vet that I had never been to before, and especially right before I had to finish my 4 hour drive back home to CT. God forbid she had a negative reaction on my way home, and I couldn't get her to an easily accessible vet?! I would no way, consent to that and wrote down everything Becca had said to me weeks prior when planning this visit, and nothing about vaccines was ever mentioned. Well, prior to the vet coming in I had in fact informed the vet tech that my kitten did receive two treatments of the distemper vaccine, and it should have been in the records that I had sent over to them. The male vet confirmed that they weren't, so that is when I immediately called my veterinarian to confirm that they were. The vet tech at my primary veterinarian had assured me over the phone that they were listed on the medical records. Now this could mean one of two things: 1) they were never forwarded by the staff who receives incoming mail or 2) read by the actual vet. But my senses tell me that it is number because the second I sent the records over (which was the same day I made the appointment), I called and spoke with Liz to verify that they received, which they had. They tried to charge me $140 for the visit, rather than the $90 that I was originally told. They didn't make me pay for the vaccine- which to be honest I would have reused to pay for anyway since nobody told me that they would be doing that, but tried to charge me for her stool sample I brought Again, I was never informed of the additional charges prior to my visit. I told Becca, (who at this point was claiming that it wasn't her who I spoke with) that I would not pay for that to be sent out and again, because nobody informed me. A word of the wise to Oakhurst Employees, please learn how to communicate before you mess up another persons day. Your lack of communication was extremely unprofessional and you could have made my kitten very sick if I hadn't yelled at the vet to stop giving her vaccines. I will NEVER, recommend this vet to anyone, and will NEVER, be back at this place ever again. read more

Amazing vet. Unfortunately I am very experienced with vets, and Oakhurst sits at the top of the list! They provide Exceptional care for animals and extremely patient with humans. Entire staff was Great to communicate with and Dr. Schock went above & beyond and researched a rare infection my cat had. I travel over an hour to get there. They are worth it! read more

Daniel Thomasey is the worst Vet they have. He misdiagnosed my cat and performed a surgery that couldn't fix the problem before he found the bigger problem. He recommended a surgery on my dog that was far more than required and I didn't want to repeat my first experience with him. I will never use that place again. read more

They are awesome! We had an extremely difficult rescue and this veterinary hospital did everything they could to help us with our sweet Lincoln, and helped us extend his life. They went to extraordinary measures with our big boy. Can't say enough about their service and professionalism read more

AVOID at all costs! These vets don't want your input regarding your pet. The vetenarians dont take your input to heart. The staff is nice, except the office manager, Katie. She is fresh and unprofessional. I used Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital since Dr. Millar was the owner through the acquisition of Oakhurst by Dr. Delaney. I've heard many complaints from former patients about their outrageous prices. Their prices jumped when they redid the lobby/waiting area. I didn't want to pay more for my pet because they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars fixing up the lobby! I recently broke down and used a veterinarian in Sea Girt. So worth it. They were thorough and thought out of the box, starting with just a few tests before jumping in to a ton of testing at one time. Oakhurst wants to do everything at once, which costs a small fortune. My pet was there two years ago and needed hospitalization, so I was charged $5,000 after four days of treatment! I could go on and on, but trust me, try someone else and if you have an emergency, your best bet is an emergency vet clinic in Tinton Falls, NJ. You'll save money and the specialists are top notch. read more

Dr Shook is such an excellent caring vet. Willing to research my dogs health issues to find the best care plan. She does not try to suck the last penny out of you either like some vets do. I highly recommend Oakhurst veterinary hospital for any pet problems. read more

This veterinary hospital is over priced, force unnecessary tests and screenings for money. I have pet insurance and they used to send in the claims from a template scanned into their computer I gave them for both of my dogs. Not now. They dont even ask if you want them to send the claim for you. So you can spend $2,000 and not even get that courtesy. You wait in a small room for a half an hour when you have a scheduled appt. Follow ups on procedures is unsatisfactory. I've used this vet for 10 years!! Lastly I last left there in tears when I saw a man smack his standard poodle in the head and face when literally walking out of the patient door. The dog was in distress and the man beat is dog while it was in ear pain. Only after I started crying at the continual abuse because his dog was freaking out did ANYONE behind the counter do ANYTHING until I threatened to report the abuse THEY WITNESSED. Only then did they have an "animal behaviorist" come out to help. Nope never again will i be back. read more

Love Dr. Delaney! I think he is pretty close to being retired now but I've been seeing Dr. Rawlins and she is great! Very attentive! This practice not only provides good care for my poodle, the customer service is top notch! Emily at the front desk is a pleasure to work with. Everyone has a pleasant personality. They take care credit too for those visits that cost a little more. Care credit offers 6 months to pay interest free. I had my poodle's teeth cleaned here three time in the last 5 years. Excellent service during those treatments. I drive 20 minutes down route 35 to this place that's how good it is! read more

I've been bringing my 4 legged family members to OVH since the 90's, and I cannot say enough great things about them. Over the years the building & the staff has grown in size, but the friendly, family environment, and the amazing quality of care is still top notch. All the doctors are wonderful, and the support staff is great. I'm constantly recommending them to anyone who will listen, and despite there being other hospitals closer to my home, I still drive a little bit further for the top notch care I know my dogs are getting. read more
