Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital at Person Street

This review is long overdue, as we relocated to Raleigh at the start of the year and established care at the Person Street location shortly after we settled in. The staff is so friendly and we've been so pleased with the care provided to our senior pup by Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Sawyer. We had an after hours emergency recently, and the sister location on South Saunders was experiencing a high volume of ER patients at the time I called to let them know we were on the way. They referred us to a competitor with a shorter wait time, and we were seen immediately, reinforcing my belief that Oak Heart truly prioritizes the safety and well-being of their clients/fur babies. Thank you Oak Heart for the wonderful care you provide.

We love this vet! We see Dr. Hamilton- she is truly the best! She is very good at what she does and her approach is calm and supportive. She offers different options for diagnosis and treatment of a pet depending on your situation and options available. We saw her multiple times when we had an elderly diabetic cat and she helped us navigate treating him the best we could while also keeping him happy and comfortable. We wanted to avoid stressing him too much with extensive testing & procedures. She listened to us, saw the relationship we had with our kitty, and helped us navigate what was best for him while taking his feisty personally into account. Although we were able to control his diabetes fairly well, we ultimately helped him cross the rainbow bridge after he developed a rapidly growing cancer. Dr. Hamilton made it so peaceful and comfortable - just what we would have wanted. Dr. Hamilton now cares for our 7 month old puppy and Peaches LOVES going to the vet. Even when getting her vaccines she was always comfortable and happy to say hello to the staff. There’s nobody we trust more and the staff is always available to help answer questions and guide you when you need it. I’ve recommended this vet to all of our friends and will continue to do so. Thank you!

Oak Heart Vet on Person is such a great place for my little old ladies. My two 17 year old cats are high anxiety because of a bad experience at a vet office when they were little. Oak heart has a soft hand working with them and worked to get them on a sedative regimen for visits that makes things easier. They have taken great care of my girls who are starting to have kidney and thyroid disease and have taken the time to help me find the best kidney diet for my cats even when they are picky eaters and we have to go back to the drawing board repeatedly on food and medication delivery. They really are so kind and patient with the animals!

Couldn't recommend this place more! I moved back to the area and decided to take my English Bulldog back here because we were always roomed immediately after arriving - this was very important to me as he was not dog friendly, and they made so many accommodations for him to keep him and the other animals safe in the facility. He had suffered from allergies, and seemed to be getting more chronic ear infections. Dr. Sawyer suggested that I switch his food to a reasonably priced plan (because who doesn't love saving $$$ while also taking care of their fur baby?!) and his ear infections never came back. Not only is this a great location, but they're less than a 10 minute drive from their emergency vet facility. The staff there helped me through the decision to say goodbye to my little man, gave me the time and privacy to say goodbye, and were compassionate and sympathetic through the entire visit. I want to thank you all so much for caring for my best friend while I had him!
