My pekingese had a ruptured disk due to ivdd he is 10yrs old they took very good care of him recovering was a bit of a challenge but well worth it, he is like a new man and can enjoy some more years of his life highly recommended
Ocean State Veterinary Specialists is our go to for Ron's emergency needs. Every time we need to bring him in on a whim, the front desk staff gets him immediate attention. This time Ron was fortunate enough to be home within 3 days after digesting or I should say, not digesting a Broccoli rubber ban...
Thank you to all the staff for saving our family s golden retriever. Not only did the team work quickly to get him in for emergency surgery, but they were extremely professional and honest. My parents were understandably nervous to leave him over night, especially with a high risk surgery. They w...
Yesterday was a difficult time for my family and I when we decided to put our senior dog to sleep. Dr. Clarke and her staff (Desire & Kaitlin) made us as comfortable as possible, they gave our dog exceptional care and were very professional. We thank them for their trustworthy service and for the su...
Awful experience. Our dog had been vomiting excessively and losing weight and we took him to our regular vet. Vet did blood work which showed elevated bilirubin and advised us to go to Ocean State ASAP, so we went directly there. Our vet sent the blood test results. We waited hours at ocean state on...
Brought my rabbit here on Emergency after receiving bad advice from another Emergency clinic. There s a slight chance I accidentally hit the horn and was super flustered coming in, and haven t dealt with Covid-vet care (I ve been spoiled with farm calls in Alaska and have terrible anxiety!) so this ...
We took our dog in at 9:30 PM because he couldn't lay down, due to pain. We were there until 3:30 the next morning. One thing that happened, we were told that we were going to get the medication and discharge papers in 15 minutes. An hour went by, and we still hadn't received anything. We went to th...
I brought my dog there on a Sunday when my vet was closed because she had a golf ball sized lump on her belly and was in a lot of pain. The staff there was extremely polite, attentive, thorough, helpful and caring with my little baby. I cannot say enough positive things about the exceptional service...
I ve never gone here but the woman who is working 7/2/2020 at the front desk deserves a raise. She was so helpful and nice and I appreciated her help
Absolutely amazing staff, especially the neurologist, Lauren Marini. Extremely knowledgeable and communicative, especially during the covid19 pandemic.
The vet tech (unfortunately didn t catch a name) was also very helpful. She trimmed knots out of our long haired kitty s fur, which he gave us tr...
I called ahead to let them know we were coming in. My dog was in extreme pain, couldn't bend his leg, and had an oozing hot spot. After two hours in a freezing room with no one checking in on us, let alone a vet coming in, we left. I've never had such a lack of help at an emergency vet before. Don't...
I have, unfortunately for my wallet, been here a few times with my crazy mutt. Most recently, my guy (Ozzie) was attacked on a walk after hours and needed sutures. Ozzie was as happy as ever when he was ready to go home the next day (though very sleepy).
They obviously took very good care of hi...
This is a great place when an emergency strikes for your pet..Where else can you go that's open 24 hours when you are worried about your loving pet...yes it can be costly but we'll worth it for your piece of mind about your pet...I was sooo glad to have found it...I took my cat Louie that was having...
They saved my puppy's life, we adopted our puppy Arya in February and she started to becoming very sick, very quickly in about a weeks time. We brought her here and she tested positive for Parvovirus. They immediately went in to treating her, we told them the amount of money we could spend and they ...
Our dog had a pretty serious laceration and we brought him here for urgent treatment. We had a great experience with the care and attention he was given, the hospitality we received during a stressful time, as well as pleasant phone conversations about care after the visit. I would highly recommen...
My wife called ahead on a Sunday evening that we we're bringing our 11year old Sheepdog who could not walk & was having difficulty breathing. The staff was ready when we arrived with a gurney to get him from the car. All the staff we interacted with were very nice & compassionate. I would recommend ...
My cat was treated there earlier this week with an abscess on his right side. He was given 15 ml Clavamox 1cc 12 hrs until finished. The improvement has been great called yesterday to get a refill on the prescription and they filled it and I picked it up at their place. The cost was $46.00. They ha...
Don t bring your rabbits here. My rabbit was pregnant and couldn t give birth for over 8 hours. We brought her here to see if anything could be done for her. We ended up waiting for 4 hours before our rabbit was even looked at, since she looked like she wasn t in any discomfort they told us to bri...
My cat was diagnosed with cancer. Needed an appointment for a consult. Main operator transfers you to a voice mail. Have left multiple messages and no return call. Would not recommend them.
I have a 2 year old mini poodle. Last week he lost feeling his back legs and my husband and I were in a panic. As soon as we arrived he was seen right away. All of the doctors and nurses were great. after his Disc removal surgery they called me multiple times a day to let me know what was happening....
Dr. Alexander the oncologist was very comforting when we had our beloved Lucy euthanized today they did a follow,up call to see how everything was and explain any concerns I had they let me stay as long as I needed even the staff was caring they were very sympathetic thank you Ocean State vet for m...
Horrible experience... bring your pets here at your own risk!!!
This place saved my dog's life! We were about ready to leave our relative's house after a weekend visit. Bella has a condition called "collapsing trachea" so when she gets too hot or excited she starts coughing. But as minutes went by condition grew serious and she started having trouble breathing. ...
Horrible. Took my cat in at 11:30 am and at 5:10 pm she was in bavk and I finally was given results of Xrsy and blood. Xray showed mild stool. Blood work showed nothing. The sd she was deydrated, yet, kept her 5 hours and DIDN'T give her any fluids. Nothing to eat iether. So then they say I could af...
One star is actually a complement. Last week I have to bring my do there that I had for 12 years. She's was I serious trouble and dieing. The staff did take there time to fully explain the procedure that could save her life. We were so relived. Then they explained we had to pay 3000.00 up front or ...
My cat had gotten into who knows what. Since he as a tough guy, he never showed he was hurt. By the time he did show it, he was in critical condition. An assistant came up to me and took my cat right away. They started working on him before I was even done with the paperwork.
The doctor (Mark or ...
Devon and Dr. Gumash were wonderful to my puppy. I could tell they really care about the animals they interact with. Dr. Ganesh took plenty of time to explain the options and didn't try to pressure me into any unnecessary procedures. Will definitely use them again in the future if my vet is closed!
Garbage place where they care WAY more about money than they care about animals.
Have used OSVS many times in the course of Veronica's 14 1/2 years; from orthopedic surgeries to internal medicine consults to emergency room visits. Never had a bad experience. Everyone has always been tremendously competent and professional as well as having a wonderful bedside manner with Veronic...
Our Pekingese had a horrific eye trauma, proptosis. We got her to Ocean State in less than 15 minutes from the incident. They did triage and see her immediately. The front desk moved us into a room fairly quickly, but when you re shaking and covered in blood, a little sympathy and support would be...
I had to rush our dog Jackson there during the night, as he became in critical condition. The staff and vet were very understanding, patient and compassionate throughout this traumatic event. Even though we found out he was terminal, they helped us with decision options and were respectful when diff...
Dr.Horn and Dr. Hunt took such good care of my pet! I could never have asked for better care for my little pet and they took very good care of me as well. I walked in with a pet in crisis and received immediate assistance from a caring and highly skilled staff who were able to place an IV into a sm...
My dog was having violent seizures and definitely needed to stay overnight for observation and care. They made him leave because they couldn t wait the 24 hours I needed to get the 1000 dollar deposit they wanted to keep him. He s now had 6 more seizures since we left about 12 hours ago. And it stil...
I had to rush my bunny, Zen, in this past weekend when he had been struggling to breathe. I had been able to get to the desk and tell them what was going on, the receptionist who was on for the Saturday night (12/16/17) was very quick to call someone up to come see him. The technician was very polit...
I wanted to say a special thanks to Jamie Resnick and the staff at OSVS.
My healthy, well-mannered2 yo Belgian Shepherd started showing bizarre signs of obvious discomfort and potential mild to threatening illness. Her bowels had been normal, so I was concerned.
I brought her in as her signs did ...
These people are the best of the best, especially Dr. Sweet and all the AMAZING vet techs. My regular vet referred us here when my young energetic pup Verona became lame in her back legs, and our best hope to improve her quality of life was a TPLO. I truly cannot put into words how amazing Dr. Sweet...
First the good and then the bad. They saved my 18 year old Tuxedo cat who was having some severe internal bleeding as a side effect to the anesthesia at my regular vet after getting a tooth pulled. We raced him to Ocean State Veterinary Specialists where he had an overnight stay. Whatever they did w...
This is one of the most impressive and dedicated group of medical professionals I have ever seen - much better than those at many of the "people" hospitals. We brought our cat, "Stitch" in after finding him at death's door when we arrived home from a weekend getaway. He had come down with a urinar...
Thank God for these people! My dog was very sick and I was terrified. I had to bring her in at 5:30 am on a Sunday because her regular vet is closed on Sundays. Every person I dealt with from the receptionist, to the vet techs, to the doctors, were incredible. They even sent me photos of her during ...
Called with my 8 year old house cat with breathing issues and they said to bring him in. When we walked in our cat was immediately taken into the back room, after @30 minutes we were called to the counter and she started throwing numbers at us for what we owe. Heck we had no idea what was going on...
Have had to bring at least 2 pets in for help..i already knew one had cancer..my dog..we had to say goodbye to her..that was sad. Euthinizing plus cremation is expensive. Although they were nice there Most recently my oldest cat had a neuralogical problem..I had the ONLY neuro doc for cats in t...
My avian vet was out of state until March and my cockatiel Stormy needed to be seen ASAP. Their avian vet was away as well however they listened to me as the owner and we came up with a treatment plan for her that not only saved her life but also was within my budget. Emergency vet visits will alway...
We called with an issue about our dog, were told we could pull up and be taken. We drive the entire way out there which we told them we are 30 mins away. We drive all the way out there and as we go to pull in they call us saying they can no longer take our dog. This place is extremely unprofessional...
Have been here many times, this time was the hardest! Dr.Medeiros was wonderful with me. She explained Wilburs issues , was very compassionate and understanding of our decision to put Wilbur down. The tent outside was so much better than a room inside. We were not rushed, enjoyed quality last mi...
We went in with a very sick two year old that had been fighting an infection for a week. His temp was 105.5. Apollo became the hospital sweetheart as he went through the process of being diagnosed and treated. The technicians, the front staff, the doctors were all the best you could ask for. They we...
We brought our dog in and thought who we thought was having a stroke.. they grabbed her , took her in the back and have her the best care for the next couple of days. She is ok, had vertigo thank God!! They are amazing!! Went in the back to see her and it was so busy , like a triage.. everyone was w...
I highly recommend OSVS to anyone looking for a regular veterinarian or in need of emergency care for their pet. I recently had a late night emergency with my pet, and I was very impressed with the level of attention, care, and comfort they provided to both me and my pup. Again, these people are gre...
A little over a year ago I utilized services at this veterinarian. My 8 year old chihuahua had ongoing liver disease since birth and had taken a turn for the worst. My veterinarian could no longer help him and he was in crisis and needed a higher level of care. Ultimately going brain dead. My vet of...
They are angels here......simply put God Bless them all
Went in with a cat who had a temp of 105. Five hours later and $464 later they could not tell me what was wrong with the cat. Would not go again nor would I recommend them to anyone, They are way overpriced and were of no help.
Screw these guys. They couldn't care less about your beloved pet or more about every last penny they're able to get out of you. Took my cat in once around 10 PM because I was frantically helpless. He was isolating himself, uncontrollably drooling, being lethargic, and refused to eat. Waiting endless...
I have came here twice because once my once my dog eaten one of my friends ash trays and as soon as I got there my dog was loved and taken in very quickly. Yes, they are expensive but if you cant to afford to pay for a incident that is happening with your animal, then maybe you shouldn't have one. M...
The only recommendation I have would be to have CSR s explain Care Credit to customers. I was not aware when I made my initial deposit for emergency trauma care. This would have saved me a lot of stress had I known I could apply at that time. My overall experience was exceptional. The surgery depart...
My cat swallowed a rubber band, and I was fearful of surgery. But, they were able to scope it out and keep her overnight. She's doing so much better at home now, thank god for them!
Was very upset with service. Friday night. Waited four hours for service. When they saw the dog was of no help. Had to put dog down on Saturday at another facility.
Best medical care anywhere. Excellent staff. All of them have a great bedside manner.
Everything and everyone was great, especially given the restrictions that this pandemic puts on a normal vet visit. I'm very grateful to the whole neurology team who cared for Wrigley. The process was organized and timely and professional!
Our now 14-year-old Doberman first saw cardiologist, Dr. Adam Kane in January, 2019 for degenerative valvular disease and DCM. Dr. Kane has been wonderful with our guy, and I could not be happier with my choice to take Baxter to OSVS. The exams have been thorough, well-documented, and I perceive t...
I have been going to Ocean State since approximately 2004. In that time I have taken 4 dogs there. The staff has been wonderful. The have been, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and above all compassionate. I had one dog that received 9 months of chemo. He didn't make it. The help and compassion sho...
Ocean State is awful! I have been there several times, due to emergencies, and one of my pets have recovered from their treatments. All they care about is the money and it just makes me sick. I have no problem spending thousands of dollars, if my pets are better off in the long run. However, when yo...
I CANT EVEN EXPRESS HOW MAD I AM. I came all the way from ATTLEBORO because I called them and they said they billed !!! I drive an hour to get here for them to turn my dog away !!! HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A PER HOSPITAL !!! My poor pup has blood in his stool and you denied him ! You are awful !!
OSVS offers the gold star of care that you can t find anywhere else. Over time Every one of my pets have seen the emergency doctors, surgeons, oncologist, ophthalmologist, internists on several occasions and I know they have my pets best interest at heart. Most recently, my 2 cats see internist Dr....
If I could do no star I would. I was sent there in an emergency situation with my puppy. Found out she needed major surgery to save her life which started over 3,000. I did not qualify for credit, so was given 2 choices, euthanize, or "allow a vet there to adopt her and take over her care" great opt...
Had to take my dog here tonight due to him having an awful seizure.. They were amazing with the help they gave.. So kind and understanding... They took my baby right in and tended too him... The outcome wasn t well for my dog, he needed to be put to sleep... But I would truly like to Thank all
The ...
My 9 week old kitten hurt her leg on Tuesday and I arrived at 8:30 pm and we didn't leave until 11:45 pm (checkout shows before but I still had to wait for meds after I paid) for just an xray and exam. The doctor took several xrays and came back and told me she didn't see a break/fracture but wante...
While I am fully aware that it is incredibly expensive to take care of ill pets , making finance priority over the well being of a poor sick animal is horrific. My pet was incredibly sick and on the verge of death. They were willing to treat him but offered no guarantee he would be ok. After telling...
My daughter s beloved Bella passed away at 11:00pm in her arms at home. She was inconsolable. They welcomed my daughters to bring Bella to Hospital. Their kindness will always be remembered with immense gratitude.
I just want to thank Dr. Youngblood for all of her help and compassion when it came to my dog Diamond (my baby). Diamond needed to be examined and treated and Dr. Youngblood looked out for us in the most amazing way. I am so happy that she has a great heart! This was my first (hopefully my last) eme...
I had to bring my 6 year old cat in. I was worried because I had a bad experience before with them. This time was so much better. My cat was having trouble breathing. They were very careful with him and the techs were very nice and asked a ton of questions while they brought him in the back. They as...
I have only ever been here to put my animals to sleep. I can't speak for the veterinary care or help they provide for sick animals who have a chance to pull through. I can only say they were respectful and we'll equipped to euthanize my ferret when no one else was open. They were able to quickly and...
We took our dog there for an emergency, they took him right away in the back to get him accessed, the doctor came in and told what was wrong, explained everything to us, the worse case and the better. They let us visit before they started to work on him. Then later that night we got a call letting ...
I don't usually write reviews, but I had an excellent experience here. Went in with a guinea pig showing possible early signs of an upper respiratory infection. Staff was kind, helpful, and saw to my little Ralphie promptly. (Of course they prioritize and see the sickest pets first but I was in and ...
Went.in to drop off hurt bird we found. Trying to do the right thing. The girl who greeted us when we walked in was completely rude and very unprofessional. We own our own business and would never treat our customers like that. You didnt do us a favor we did nature a favor. You should really cons...
I would highly recommend OSVS. The staff were incredibly kind, courteous, and professional. The vets seemed very knowledgeable and empathetic. My guy unfortunately did not make it, but they sent a card with a handwritten note along with cardstock with his pawprints. I was very touched by this, t...
We had the absolute best experience if that is possible when you put your beloved pet to sleep. Some people think dogs are just animals, but some animals bring so much love & happiness to your family that their death is very sad. Dr. Andres was kind and compassionate. Saying the kindest things to ...
The staff was very nice.I was very comfortabe with leaving my little buddy there.
Took my dog here when he had an accident that left his back and neck injured. He was wailing in pain. Staff took good care of him and he was able to make a full recovery...no complications or lasting effects from the ordeal.Everything was top notch and aided in making a bad situation much less stre...
My dog has been here several times for emergencies and most recently to see the neurologist. I ve always had a great experience with the staff and Drs. The neurologist spent almost an hour with my dog getting to know his history and coming up with a plan. I can t get a human Dr to spend more than 5 ...
I have been to OSVS on a couple of occasions and have always thought they were overpriced but in an emergency situation you have to deal with that. This last time was a total ripoff. I brought my 4 year old cat in because he was having an issue with his mouth. He wouldn't close it and he was dro...
From being greeted at the car to his return to my car... the experience was perfect. I appreciate the phone contact report from Dr Kane! Very personalized and informative. Thank you!
I thought you help animals in the case of a emergency not rip them off !!! So lets see if you dont have thousands to save your pet they have to die?? Won't work with clients!! Think of the animals and the clients what they go threw!!
This facility provided great care, professional and comforting service, from the receptionist, technicians and doctor. Realizing after the fact that I called to check on
status too often (every two hours) I can't believe I never caught a hint of annoyance.
I received caring considerate service fo...
We've used Ocean state Vet a few times staff is a ways polite compassionate and friendly. They are always great with answers questions and keep in touch with you amazingly. Our dogs have always had great treatment there.
I highly recommend. I had moved to the area only a few weeks before I took my dog here. I had to euthanize my dog due to lymphoma that he had been fighting for quite a while. It is already difficult to move somewhere new, but to also have to say goodbye to your best friend makes it that much harder....
Came in with my dog in labor first I was lied too by the front desk about prices they took forever to see my dog then was told it was miscommunication with the shift change if you consider your pet as part of your family don t put it in the hands of these ppl.to them it s all about money and should...
Brought in my 3 year old lab who was puking up bile and not going to the bathroom. After taking her in, examining her, xrays, they gave us meds and released her. 2 days later she wasn't better, brought her back. Fortunately we brought a doctor wiht us, an MD in the fmaily, who examined the xrays and...
We had our 17 year old cat put down and they were absolutely wonderful. They took great care in our cat and put us at ease thru the whole ordeal. Thank you for being so professional and caring. Greatly recommend
Our dog Tuxedo was taken in on a Saturday evening after receiving a traumatic life threatening impact injury. The prices for an initial check up were provided to me. I found this to be good business practice as it put me at ease of not being surprised or anxious of costs. I found the exam prices rea...
I must say, through the years I've used ocean State for every dog I've ever owned and I'm always touched by the warmth of the staff ... A very special thank you to Dr. Sweet once again for the support and care of my dog Mackey. His gentleness and kind heart always amazes me. A top notch doctor, on...
Revision of a previous review:
Staff is super nice and their exotics department is wonderful. Their ER can be quite aggravating however. It s too bad they don t have more staff to help with the long wait times. If you go to the ER (especially with an animal that s not a dog or cat) you are going ...
We were impressed with the treatment , attention and interest provide our cat. Yes , it is a bit pricey but for all they offer we feel the price is justified. Then , because Casey was quite I'll and sedated we visited him in the ICE
My experience with Ocean State Vet Specialists has been very positive. Dr. Kessler and her team are amazing! I would highly recommend them.
My daughter encountered a callous vet. When I called to inform them how they had wronged my daughter, and more so our pet they have a Liason who admitted that the vet approached said laison and told her she treated my daughter wrong, Then went on saying but we are blah bablah blah, there are dying ...
Excellent vet hospital. Dr. Clarke and staff were a compassionate professional team. It was a difficult visit saying good bye to my last greyhound. They care about the animal and their family. Would definitely go back here for vet care when I have pets again. Thank you to everyone at Ocean State. I...
My girlfriend and I took her dying bearded dragon here to be examined at the ER and it took a full 4 hours to be seen. He had gotten worse during the absurdly long wait and succumbed to his illness later in the night.
my dog got hit by a car n they did a excellent job on him..thank u so much..
I went to Ocean State Veterinary Specialists on 7/25/2020 with my parrot Braden and we got the best service ever. I want to say a huge thanks to Jeffrey Toraason, DVM who looked at my pet. Not only did he give me a lot of feedback on how to provide the best comfortable lifestyle for my parrot due to...
Last night we had the unfortunate experience of witnessing a vehicle strike a cat while we were driving behind them. Long story short we brought the cat into OSVS emergently and they were amazingly kind, fast and well-informed about what to do under this unusual circumstance. They did not ask for ...
My kitten, Gracie, ingested a toxic flower accidentally :( a coworker bought my mom flowers for her birthday, and not realizing they were lilies, left them on the kitchen counter. My cat then jumped up and ate one. When we realized what had happened, and that she was sick to her stomach, we called e...
