Today I write my first review for anything because I feel so strongly about this. The staff is cold and heartless, the last thing you need when your pet has cancer. Will not answer a simple yes or no question without a full exam and work up - even when the pet is due to be seen again in a week. This leads me to believe that all they care about is profit, not your pet. The vets themselves are knowledgeable and qualified, but the support staff is terrible. I was told that if I didn't want to bring my pet in for the "extra" visit, that I probably couldn't afford the treatment anyway. WHAT?!?! Are you kidding? I have never received customer service this terrible in my entire life. There are many qualified places in the area, and if you want compassionate care for you and your animal, you should avoid this place at all costs.

Save yourself from severe price shock and over paying for high business overhead. If you don't have to use their 24hr/7day model, why pay for it? Get quotes from other vet facilities before agreeing to ANY service being done here. You'll be happy you did.

Great place ! My dear Golden managed to get a raw bone stuck on her lower jar. Try as I may I could not get it off her jaw and had to take her to Oakland Vet Emergency Group since it was late evening and my regular vet was closed. My dog was taken in quickly, checked by a very nice vet ,sedated, and the bone slipped off her jar. The staff and doctor were great , the price was reasonable and my dog is back to her wonderful self . I recommend this Veterinary Emergency place highly.

I highly recommend OVRS. They took excellent care of my 2 dogs when an emergency arose. They are professional and very compassionate. They lay out all your options for treatment. Both my dogs are alive today because of Drs. Rice and Latra.

I am very pleased with the oncology services of OVRS. My Yorkie is going strong after a year because of their professional care. I would not have thought my Yorkie would still be with us after this long and still enjoying her life. It has not been cheap but it has been worth the cost.

This worldclass veterinary hospital is amazing. The doctors, technicians, receptionists are the most compassionate people I have ever met. After my dog was hit by a car, they saved his life. They let me visit him, be with him and held my hand through his recovery. The knowledge of everyone there is incredible. If there is ever anything seriously wrong with any of my pets this is where I'm headed.
