It seems like people either love these guys or hate them---pretty common when dealing with a sick loved one. My dog needed surgery for a luxated patella (sliding kneecap), & I was pleased with the surgery & the surgeon. There was a complication (another injury discovered, not due to doctor error) & she called me during the surgery, explained clearly the problem & my choices. It was the aftercare that I was not very pleased with; altho followup visits & 1 physical therapy session are included, I did not like that the surgeon didn't see my dog for 2 months after the surgery.

By that time he had managed to injure the leg in another way & had inflammation. The surgeon suggested a P.T. appointment with ultrasound therapy, but I had disliked the physical therapist; to their credit, they hustled up the vet who does P.T. to perform the procedure, assuring me that the $350 would be really helpful. I couldn't see any change until I got his prescription filled, waste of money.

In the end a surgery that was quoted at $4K came to about twice that, not entirely their fault, but for that kind of money, I expect a little better follow-up. P.S. No one has ever called to see how my dog is doing. Bottom line, I think their surgery is top notch, but I'd insist on a visit 1-2 weeks after surgery, & I would find someone else to to any needed physical therapy.

Dr. Sarah Maxwell may be an excellent doctor, but she has a horrible bedside manner. For the little time we were with her I believe she has a mental health condition possibly OCD or just phobias. She stopped us at the exam room door and made us put on masks, and then sit in the chairs under the window and didnt want us to move from those chairs so right then we knew she was German phobic or had a great fear of Covid because the Covid mandates have been over with for quite some time and nobody else in the waiting room or at the desk were wearing masks she only required the owners of her patients to wear masks.

She then made no attempt to introduce ourselves herself to our puppy, shut off the lights, and just started the exam by signing a light into his eye, and our puppy is afraid of the dark. So Natalie, he barked and told her hey Im afraid of the dark. She flipped out ran to the corner, put her back against the corner, grab the lamp and put it in front of her drug table over there. The woman was nuts.

When she calm down and stop shaking, she told us she couldnt treat our puppy. She couldnt even finish the examination because he was aggressive. We were sent to her because shes a specialist. She made no attempt to introduce herself to the dog, and we told her she was afraid of the dark, but she didnt give a crap. The dog growled the dog didnt bark and anger he barked to tell her he was scared, and he didnt know her.

He ran right over to us, he wouldnt even go near her while she paraded us about our aggressive dog, all of nine months old, and proceeded to tell us how much she needed to go to training while she was acting like a lunatic hiding behind a floor lamp. She charges $110 to terrorize our puppy. I suppose, forcing us all to put on masks, didnt do the puppy any good either, but he wasnt afraid of us. He seen other vets properly introduced themselves to him whos the Q-tip swabs in his eye, and all around us under his eyelids, and he never even whimpered, she was a stranger who just walked up to him and started to do things he didnt like.

All she had to do was introduced herself to the dog but apparently shes been at this such a long time she thinks she knows better than the experts. I wouldve let it all go because it was clear there was something wrong with her when we first met and she didnt want us to get out of our chairs and jeans that we were masks, etc. but the fact that she charges $110 to do nothing she deserves to be exposed.

The staff and doctors are kind, caring and very professional. Our appointment today was with Dr. Daly who helped us with a tremendous amount of information, options, and details regarding our lab's condition in a warm caring manner with professional enthusiasm and a touch of humor. We highly recommend OVRA!

Dr. Daly saved my dogs life. She had a strange abdominal mass, shes 12 and I was very worried about her going through the procedure. She did amazing and they kept me up to date on her progress throughout the day of the procedure. Dr. Daly called me several times throughout the experience and reassured me by answering all of my questions and making me feel comfortable with the whole thing having never met him in person due to Covid. Shell be 13 this fall and I have him and the team at OVRA to thank for the good time I have left with her.

I HIGHLY recommend OVRA. They are outstanding. One visit and they differed out the problem. After many hours and several other vet visits elsewhere we were ready for an answer and they gave it. AMAZING.

We have had to take our dog here twice over the course of his life for different surgeries. Both times were positive experiences for us. The specialist Dr. Daly was very thorough, patient and kind.

Awful vet! Awful communication! Awful outcome! My sweet boy passed away. I'd recommend EVERYONE get a second opinion before thinking these incompetent people have the answers!
