Upper Arlington Veterinary Hospital

My German Shepherd Angus is a challenge and very fearful of vet visits and new people touching him. This has caused us to cycle through about 4 different vets in the last 3 years, and I have been so surprised that most vet practices have little tolerance or understanding of larger working/guarding breeds. A friend of mine who also has a GS referred us to UA Vet, and I am so glad he did. The entire staff and the vets we have worked with have done such an amazing job for Angus (and my other dog Lewis, but he's easy). They have taken introductions slow, and moved in small steps that have been helping Angus to stay calm and become comfortable with his new health care team. I very much appreciate that they keep detailed notes on our visits, so that they can always be prepared we come in for the protocols in place. Because of their diligence, Angus is becoming more at ease with each visit. Likewise, my own stress levels around vet visits are lower because I know they can handle my pup and not freak him out. The team at UA also runs a very tight business as practices go. They have good software for appointment reminders and billing, a very friendly and helpful staff and probably the best exam rooms I've seen in any of the vets we've been to. If you have a larger breed or a dog that is fearful of the vet experience and are frustrated with how your visits go, give UA Vet Hospital a call. They do good work for us.

I always have such a great experience with all the staff. They are very kind and patient with my anxious German Shepherd! When my husband and I moved farther away we tried a new vet clinic but ended up returning because they are so amazing with Jax.

Front desk staff are courteous and competent. Technicians are courteous and thorough. Dr. Parsons, as always, provided an excellent summary of the exam findings and is very willing to take the time to answer all questions. We highly value the experience and skill sets of all the veterinarians at UAVH, along with their overall knowledge and people skills.

As always our visit was awesome. Everyone there is kind and compassionate, and they really care about our pets. Dr. Harney is very knowledgeable and has a good bedside manner with our dog as did the vet assistants who gave Max his shot and drew blood. I also appreciate how clean and calming the facilities are. Max loves the exam rooms with the big windows that look out on Lane Ave.

Great visit as always. The staff is always friendly and courteous and make sure my pets feel comfortable and safe. I appreciate all of the collective staff's kindness and expertise. Have gone here for 13 years and will continue to do so. They have worked with my three dogs through allergies, illness, surgeries, pretty much everything. It's always been a positive experience.
