Care First Animal Hospital at Oberlin

Love love love Dr Joe and his team. Such wonderful people! They have care for our furry family members for nearly 25 years! Update: 4-2023 Still the BEST vet in the area. Puppers are there right now for a much needed spa day. We are really looking forward to the opening of the new hospital!! Update 62023. Dropped the girls off today for a spa day. Baths, brushes, nail trims, ears cleaned. They are so comfortable and happy to go off for a pampering day. Thanks Dr Joe, and Dr. Page for keeping our babies so happy, healthy, and beautiful!!!

We don’t live in Raleigh and had to come here on a whim while on a visit, when my dog (Zelda) hurt her leg. We had the best care and were treated like family/valued clients. Dr. Geis helped explain what had happened to our dogs ACL and the next steps for when we get home. So thankful for her and her team. Doggy injuries are sooo scary and I left feeling confident. (((Shout out to the lovely vet tech that assisted her 💜))) (((a pic of our beautiful Zelda happy and healthy, like she will be one days again!!!)))

Twice. TWICE this amazing group of people has saved my dog. The first time was 5 years ago when I brought her in for a lump next to her spine that no fewer than three other vets had misdiagnosed. It was an aggressive round cell cancer. They removed it, and for 5 years, we had no other problems. All of the sudden a growth appeared in my now 13-year-old malamute's mouth. It grew to over two inches extremely quickly. We had moved two hours away, but none of the vets in our location were either reasonably priced or even a fraction as caring, competent, and kind as Care First. They scheduled her immediately and removed the large cancerous mass without requiring a jaw resection, etc., and at about one-third the cost of our local vet hospitals. They were patient and helpful throughout the entire experience. They checked in the very next day to see how she is (that's today). We went from thinking this was the end to getting to keep our girl a while longer. Thank you.

Dr. Wages and Dr. Gordon are incredibly experienced and caring! I am so grateful how they have cared for and treated my dog. My very large dog has had not one but Two TPLO surgeries for CCL / knee repair at Care First with these amazing doctors. After the first surgery, which was the worst repair, my dog would occasionally do something to himself to cause himself to limp. I was at max anxiety. Even though it was the Friday before a holiday weekend, Dr. Wages was thorough and cared for my dog as if it were a regular day, doing x-rays and double checking him to make sure he had healed properly from his first surgery. I can’t express how grateful I was for her care of my dog and me. In addition, my dog had continuously had an ear infection for over a year that we could not get rid of. She learned the various nasty things that were going on in that ear, and gave him a bespoke cocktail that got rid of the infections in several weeks. It was amazing … again! And she showed us what we needed to do to keep his ears healthy. The staff are lovely too. You can tell they love and are kind to the pets. Huge thank yous to the doctors and staff! Don’t change, we need practices like yours.
