Thank you so much for the last few years of care. Every staff member we've encountered has always been kind and supportive and above all extremely knowledgeable. We recently said goodbye to both of our dogs and the staff made sure every detail was thought of during an incredibly difficult time. We just opened the remembrance gift sent by the staff today (it was misplaced in a move) and I'm so very thankful. I'm just sad that we moved from the area and will not be able to continue using UA vet for our kitties or future family members.

Dr. Dyce is an expert in this area, and books out pretty far. However, our situation was dire enough that we were able to get an appointment within weeks of me calling. Dr. Bryce gave our girl a titanium hip, and at her three month follow-up she was cleared for supervised playtime with other dogs! The compassion, communication, expertise and honest opinions of doctors and staff here were greatly appreciated. They gave us hope, and made it possible for our girl to live free of pain and full of life. We will be forever grateful for the pros at OSU!

A Beautiful Facility, a Heartbreaking Day, and 11 Hours of Waiting…read more We brought our sweet boy, Drake, to Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center because he was having breathing issues. We arrived just before 7 a.m. and were registered as an emergency. We were told he needed a heart scan and that it would take a while because they had other appointments and cases to handle. Long story short, we were there for 11 hours. We were the first to arrive and, as it turned out, the last to be seen. Throughout those 11 hours, we received only a couple of updates. Communication was definitely not their strong suit, and that made an already stressful and frightening situation even harder. While we waited, our sweet boy was receiving oxygen and sedation. When you're sitting there worried about your dog, wondering what's happening and whether he's going to be okay, the waiting and lack of communication take an emotional toll. When they finally performed the heart scan, there wasn't much more they could do for Drake. We were faced with the most heartbreaking decision any pet parent can make: letting our boy go. I want to give credit where it's due. Dr. Payton was kind, informative, and compassionate. When it came time to say goodbye to Drake, she treated us with kindness and compassion during one of the worst moments of our lives. For that, I am truly grateful. The facility itself is beautiful and spotless, and most of the staff we encountered were friendly. Those are definite positives. However, my biggest complaint is that we simply did not feel like a priority. We were told other emergencies had come in and that we would have to wait. Excuse me, what? We brought in our dog because he was having breathing issues, and he was registered as an emergency. I understand that emergency hospitals must triage patients, and some situations may be more critical than others. But waiting 11 hours for the necessary heart scan, with so little communication along the way, was incredibly frustrating and difficult to understand. When you bring your beloved pet to an emergency hospital, you expect urgency, communication, and some reassurance that your pet's condition is being monitored and taken seriously. We were left waiting far too long with too little information. Another major frustration I have with emergency veterinary care in general is the enormous financial deposit required up front. When your beloved pet is struggling, the last thing you want is to be worrying about how you're going to pay for treatment. Why aren't there more assistance programs or funding options to help families get their animals the care they need without having to come up with a huge amount of money immediately? I understand that veterinary hospitals have operating costs, but it breaks my heart to think about families who may have to make decisions based on finances when their pets need help. Would I recommend Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center? Yes, in an emergency, I would consider it, and based on my own experiences, I would choose it over MedVet. The facility is impressive, and Dr. Payton showed genuine compassion when we needed it most. That said, the communication and waiting times need serious improvement. An emergency is already frightening enough without spending 11 hours wondering when someone will be able to help your pet. At the end of the day, this review isn't just about a hospital or a long wait. It's about our boy, Drake. He was family, he was loved beyond words, and we did everything we could to help him. We are grateful for the kindness Dr. Payton showed us when it was time to say goodbye, but the experience leading up to that moment left us frustrated and disappointed. Our pets depend on us to advocate for them, and when we bring them to an emergency hospital, we need to feel that someone is advocating for them, too. Rest easy, our sweet Drake. You will always be loved and never forgotten.

During our initial contact while I was sobbing on the phone, they were extraordinarily patient in obtaining our information and setting up the appointment. Our assigned vet, Dr. Nellie, was amazingly gentle and took us step by step through the process. Being able to say good-bye to our beloved cat at home was so much easier on us than having to transport her in her cage to the vet's where she would be in a cold room and we would have to go back to an empty house. We were able to sit in her favorite chair and hold her while she looked out the window. While we waited for the medication to send her off, Dr. Nellie clip tufts of fur and took an impression of her pawprint for us to keep. When our sweet baby was gone, Dr. Nellie brought in a wicker basket covered in blankets and helped us transfer our sweet girl amid the blankets before taking her to be cremated. I can't say enough about this wonderful place. I know they also provide pet hospice services for animals who are terminally ill, but not at the end of life. I highly recommend them.

That being said, it's clearly stated on the application that it may take 10 days to hear from a volunteer and that's exactly how long it took for me. Once I did hear back I was then put in touch with the foster mom, who was absolutely wonderful! We communicated on a regular basis. We met at a park, we then scheduled a home visit, and we then adopted the most AMAZING boy! All of that happened over the course of a few weeks, but that's not out of the ordinary at all. I was also told by the foster mom, right up front, there was another family interested in him and going through the process as well. So if they would have won out, that's just life, regardless of how far I was in the process.

They know their foster dog went to a loving home and I felt good knowing they wouldn't adopt out if it wasn't the right fit.

The breaking point was when they swapped sold me a prescription that was 2x the potency for an Rx and didn't tell me I that they didn't have in stock the lower dose. They didn't mention it at the time and the pills looked exactly the same. The tech, Jen who I spoke to about it after I found out. stated "can't you read a label?@ and hung up on me when I communicated my concern and asked for the implications to my dog. I called back and the receptionist said Dr Flores would call me... she never did. This seems to be just part of the downward slide of this clinic. They commonly ask you to drop or pick something up whenever during office hours and the door is locked with no one around when you show up. If you you use an online pharmacy like chewy they'll take weeks to approve the medication that they recommended. If they say the doctor will call you about something that will happen maybe 1/3 of the time. It was a great vet clinic a while ago, now it's a dumpster fire. There are a lot of wonderful vets around this area, don't risk your pets health with elemental.
