Great clinic, professional from the time you step in the door. Dr Payne is an absolute jewel. He truly cares for the animals and it shows with the care he provides. We had to use him on a Sunday for an emergency visit for our lab who ingested a sock. We drove an hour away and honestly would drive it every time to see him because he truly is the best and we appreciate the care that he provides. He is knowledgeable and quick to the point and no run arounds about the diagnosis. Thank you again Oxford clinic staff and Dr Payne for being the absolute top notch clinic! Hate the circumstances surrounding how we found you but so glad we did!

It was an emergency on a Sunday evening. Dr. Payne met me at the clinic. After x rays n tests; it was discovered that my Tommy had issues with his kidneys. I called them Monday morning and they also called me after hours and he seemed to be doing a little better. I missed a call at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday morning. When I returned their call, the girl who answered said she would get Dr. Payne on the phone. Tommy has passed.

I appreciate that Dr. Payne told me himself. I later went by and Dr. Payne spoke with me and consoled me. I was crying and trying to pay my bill. They were nice and told me they would get back with me about the bill. They suggested Coleman Pet Services and gave me a pamphlet. They were wonderful in my time of loss and need.
