Dr. Benjamin and his staff were fabulous! I took in a new puppy yesterday and she got a comprehensive evaluation. Everything was fine...but they were patient with all my questions, loved on my new baby, and spent quite a bit of time with us! Ohio Drive Animal Hospital will be our life-long companion along with the puppy!

We have been working with Dr B and his staff for nearly three years. I know dealing with rescue groups, Dr B gets some unusual cases. The first time I met Dr B was when he was treating our 9 puppies with Parvo. In the past three years, he has saved many lives for our group. Many lives. From a dog who removed 80% of her bowel, massive injuries from being hit by a car, neuro issues to currently, our latest and most proud foster that has a new leg, rebuilt by Dr B and associates. Dr Benjamin gets our hardest cases. Period. Because 1) he is the best and 2) he has never treated our dogs as second class because they are in rescue. They are clients

I have three dogs and three cats, and they all love Dr. B- and I do, too! He is kind hearted and compassionate about his work, and he genuinely cares for my animals, not my checkbook. He and his staff are very well trained and educated in all aspects of pet health, and they are always happy to help explain everything to me. Not only do they provide exceptional medical care, but they give great baths, and my pets never leave with bleeding toes when they get their nails trimmed. It always smells great, and there is rarely a wait when you come in for an appointment! Also, he does TONS of work with rescue organizations such as Great Dane Rescue of North Texas. Dr. B and his staff have been caring for my pets for over five years, and I don't have any cons to list for this practice.

Dr. Benjamin has taken care of my pets for over 5 years. He's been there for all the ups and downs of my pets' lives.

There was the time that my shepherd mix, Midge, ate so much dry dog food that she couldn't walk or lay down, so Dr. B stayed late on his birthday and made her better!

Or the time that Rugby, my family's australian cattle dog, got sick. He wouldn't eat, and he had diarrhea. He had low energy and was just listless. My parents took him to another vet first, but I wasn't comfortable with that vet's approach of medicating and "waiting and seeing". I felt like Rugby wasn't going to make it if we just waited, and he still had a lot of life left in him.

I took Rugby to Dr. B for a second opinion, who found out that Rugby had Irritable Bowel Disease. His blood levels were so off that he could have died without the proper care and change of diet. Dr. B figured out what Rugby needed - medication and a diet of Fish/Potato. I am relieved that Rugby is now happy and healthy! I don't think he would be here if not for Dr. B's diligence and expertise.

I should add that I also worked with Dr. Benjamin as a veterinary nurse for over 5 years. I have worked alongside several vets, but I always preferred working with Dr. B because he is very knowledgeable and organized. He is consistent when treating animals and does not lose his patience easily. He and his staff use positive reinforcement to make sure your pet feels special and has a pleasant visit. Dr. Benjamin is picky about who he hires. His staff have a love for all animals, and they are intuitive and sensitive to the owner's feelings. Their computer system (Avimark) is modern and efficient, so they can devote more time to providing our pets with care. They are good at following up, and I always feel like they genuinely care about my pets.

5 Stars: Dr. B is the Best ! (by shira e.)

I discovered Dr. B by a welcome letter I received indicating the opening of his new practice and out of curiosity checked it out. I was instantly impressed by the immaculate facility and the friendly and competent staff. Dr. B presented in a friendly and professional manner and was so wonderful with my dogs. I appreciated the fact that there are no "surprises"; you know up front what the charges are going to be and Dr. B and the staff are willing to explain why particular tests are necessary. Dr. B is a fantastic diagnostician (I have truly put him to the test, as I bring 4 dogs and 3 cats to him) and what I respect the most is that he is not afraid to say "I don't know" and refer the pet to a specialist, rather than continue to run tests that could become very costly to the client. Dr. B is not only wonderful with dogs and cats, but with their owners and families too. He welcomes every puppy and kitty and counsels the owners from the very beginning with the joys of new pet ownership and throughout the pets life; ensuring it is quality enriched, and when that time comes that it is no longer, Dr. B is there to help the family through this difficult process. Ohio Drive Animal Hospital is a full service facility offering routine care, surgeries, baths and boarding with a kind and wonderful staff. I wouldn't take my fur babies any where else!

Dr. Benjamin is a great veterinarian, very friendly and knowledgeable. My animals love coming to see him, which is why he has been treating my pets since 1998, and I have followed him from Carrollton, to Coppell, and to his final location in Plano.

This was my best experience ever at a veterinarian. The doctor and employees were all so friendly and really seemed to know what they were talking about. My dog is usually nervous at vet visits, but really seemed to enjoy himself. One thing that really suprised me is that it seemed so clean inside, and I didn't notice any of the usual animal odors that other vet offices have.

1 Stars: Not Worth It (by Carolyn A W.)

This vet did a procedure to my pet that did not need to be done and he did not ask my permission to do this. It was a surgical procedure. I was furious. He knew he made a grave error as I was not charged. Fortunately it was not a serious grave error.
