Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital & Emergency at South Saunders

I brought my elderly dog here for seizures this past weekend. Despite being here for an emergency, this was a phenomenal experience. Everyone that helped us was compassionate and so nice. They treated our dog so kindly and I felt so comfortable knowing she was in good hands for her overnight stay. Overall, everyone was so professional and also very kind. 15/10!!!

This little boy gave us quite a scare at bedtime this weekend. After the regular ER vet we see told us it was a 4-6 hour wait and that no one would come out to help with lifesaving measures if he took a turn for the worse, we called Oakheart not knowing what to expect. From the initial phone call I was immediately put more at ease. While there was a 3-4 hour wait expected we were assured someone could come help if he was critical. We have found our puppy people. The staff was so kind and helpful. Everyone was genuinely concerned for our baby and were all so accommodating from the start to finish. Dr. Blackburn and the team on 7/10 - you have impressed us so much we'll be back for sure for regular visits and hopefully no more emergency ones! Hammy is feeling much better now after a few days of being babied and getting A LOT of rest.

I'm from Charlotte and have only been in Raleigh for a year. I thought I had a good vet in Charlotte, Oak Heart shockingly surpassed my expectations. The vet was so through with my two pups and gave lots of time to each and to talk to me about them. I am so happy I found a veterinary clinic that is so compassionate about what they do! I'll be back agsin, again and again. Thank you!!

I am so grateful for the folks at Oak Heart South Saunders. My dog wasn’t feeling well, and was acting off. Our vet wasn’t available so they recommended we come here for emergency care. Dr. Frederick and the vet tech, Ricky were excellent. They kept me informed throughout my visit. Dr. Frederick provided me with different treatment options, and was very thorough yet efficient. They both displayed true professionalism and were compassionate towards my pup. I can trust that my dog is in excellent hands here.

We had to help our boy cross the rainbow bridge last night quite suddenly. The staff were very kind, patient, and understanding. They explained everything and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye and grieve over our boy. I can’t thank them enough for making a very difficult decision a little easier by walking me through it all.
