Great Oaks Drive Animal Hosp

I don't know why anyone would say Great Oaks is dark or dirty. They must have confused it with someone else. It is nicer than my doctors office. Clean, well lit with a friendly staff.

I took my dog in after he snapped at friends and actually bit me. It was traumatic. I was afraid my only option was to put him down. Dr. Grimm and her wonderful staff talked me through this difficult situation and explained all of my options. They figured out that he has really bad back pain and that his bad attitude appeared to be resulting from pain and some environmental changes that I hadn't even considered.

They are awesome!

The person who wrote and said it was dark, dirty, and smelled unclean... is retarded. It's wonderful! My dogs love it and love going there! That person must be confused with the wrong place or have a bad sense of judgement. The vets there are wonderful and love their jobs and the animals they see and treat. There's no place better!

I have been going to Great Oaks for about a year and this is one of the nicest hospitals I have ever seen. The reviewer that described it as icky and clean must have had the wrong hospital, because this is one of the most comfortable and clean hospitals I have ever seen. The reception staff is very friendly and seem to be genuinely concerned about my pets. The nurses are very well trained and friendly and so gentle with my animals. I have seen all three veterinarians at this hospital and all are warm, friendly, gentle, and extremely knowledgable. Dr. Lisa Willis, Dr. Kelli Grimm and Dr. Laura Beth Baugh are very experienced and I trust them implicitly!!! This is not the least expensive hospital I have been to, but having been to another in the area, I definitely feel that you get what you pay for. Great Oaks offers advanced testing and very comprehensive health care and I didn't feel that they were overpriced compared to some animal hospitals I have been to in the past. They were able to see one of my pets on an emergency basis and the doctors dropped everything to attend to my pet. When I lost a pet, I was sent a rose and a pawprint was made for me - I have never been to a hospital that was so sympathetic. I cannot say enough good things about this hospital and its doctors and staff.

PROS: doctors, nursing staff, friendly, experienced, excellent treatment
CONS: none!

Although the service I received at Great Oaks Animal Hospital was satisfactory, I was disgusted by the inside of the place. It was dark, dirty and smelled icky. I also felt that we received unnecessary services, which made my bill higher than I expected it would be. However, I was impressed with the vet's helper. She was highly energetic and wonderful with our dog.

We went to this place for about 5 years when we adopted our dogs from the Humane Society. They were our dogs first introduction to the vet world and our dogs still love going. We have spent so much money there they really should name a wing after us! We have moved on to a new vet office only b/c the location is closer otherwise we would still be going to this office. Their pricing of shots and surgeries is comparable to the new vet office we now visit.

PROS: Friendly and Caring Staff
CONS:

This is one of the nicer Veterinary clinics in the area. It's clean, the receptionist and techs are extremely nice and the Veterinarians are excellent. I've been there twice with my pet buddy and the experience was a good one. They take the time to find out history and the exams are very thorough. Prices are competitive and a little lower on vaccinations.
