Oklahoma Veterinary Specialists

My wife and I brought our "Baby" into the office after Dr Nickel recommended further tests that she could not perform. Dr. Ball discovered she had cancer. We decided it was in the best interest of our cat to put her to sleep. It was heart wrenching for me and my wife. It was handled as good as it could be handled. I highly recommend if your cat is having problems, take the cat here for further testing.

Our boy, Garry, wouldn’t be here today without Oklahoma Veterinary Specialists. On Tuesday night, our Great Dane developed bloat and subsequently a twisted stomach - which can be fatal if not treated quickly enough. We called our local vet and they told us that we needed to get them to OVS as soon as possible as they thought the same thing that we did. We had him in the door and they had done an x-ray right away and had confirmed our fears. Know that, when you come here, they are going to tell you how much it’s going to cost and it’s not cheap. It is an emergency vet. Anything that you have done on a routine basis is always less expensive. Within 30 minutes of walking in the door they had already taken Garry back and started sedation for his surgery. We had several staff members come out and update us while he was in surgery. They untwisted his stomach, and tacked it back down, so hopefully this won’t happen again. They kept him overnight, and he did well, and we got to take him home the next day. When we came to him the next day, they refunded us a significant amount of the money that we paid upfront, which was, not only impressive but also a blessing. Please remember when you read these reviews that an emergency vet is just that and it’s going to be significantly more expensive to take care of your baby because they are there at the times that your vet can’t be. We are so thankful for Oklahoma veterinary specialists.

Spent 700 for blood work with no answers, everything mentioned was brushed off in lieu of more charges. They are not an institution based off helping your animal. They are a money making business. My poor dog 💔 Responding to below: You sir are correct, you most definitely are a business. Completely understandable that you will pay more for after hours care. However, your place is the first "business" in any industry that has asked me t o pay more up front than what is initially quoted, and if that is not used it will be refunded. Let me explain, it is visually apparent when walking into your clinic, that you will receive NO treatment with out upfront payment. Thus, what could be the premise for the upfront over payment policy? On top of that I was told my dog was aggressive for the first time in his 8 1/2 years. Giving you the benefit of the doubt and not wanting to jump to conclusions, I thought it was very possible in his condition, he could be irritable and act out. Shortly after seeing another vet, and undergoing more extensive testing than the blood draw, I was told I had a perfect dog. Their words not mine. Makes me lean towards he was not handled with respect at your business. After speaking with your front desk attendant, with politeness, inquiring about departure due to our long stay, she said "cool". My dogs problem has been identified immediately elsewhere. Thank goodness ❤️

This place is a little expensive and I know they are adding on. I hate these places because they don’t have several solutions or cater to people with not great credit. Lucky for my I had someone to help me $6700 was the total. The first tech who came in the room Ky was absolutely fantastic. The receptionist were great id love to know their names but they did t have name tags. It’s really confusing with all the people and calls they get but the girls did great. I forget the female doctors name but I would say she was very friendly she explained everything and listened to you and answered your questions. She was an excellent doctor. The process was confusing for me as I never watched them evaluate my dog. Did they I believe they did but I also think you should do a full evaluation in-front of the pet parent. I didn’t feel over sold by the ER at all like most ER vets but the fee was hefty. Never did they show me the CT scan. I would have liked to see it. Every employee was friendly! Waiting is a game they play. Check in was 15 min. To the room 10min later. In the room 1 hour before ky came in. Then a hour later the doctor then a hour after that to get the care plan. I had to ask to say bye to my pet. When calling in they are friendly but busy. Overall this was good just need some improvement.

Dr. Jennifer Schultz and the entire staff at OVS provided wonderful care to not only our dog but us as owners as well. We were greeted immediately and our dog’s needs were urgently assessed. Our 5 year old frenchie experienced his first IVDD flare which ended up being a ruptured disc. Thankfully OVS was able to complete all the needed diagnostic testing (CT) and surgery same day. They throughly went over the plan from intake to discharge and Dr. Schultz reached out multiple times before and after surgery with her findings and updates. They welcomed calls and visits checking in at anytime and not once seemed “bothered”. I am thankful that our vet referred us to OVS and our Watson is back up on all 4!
