So, I am looking for a new vet for my dog after we moved. She was up to date on everything and we actually still see a separate specialist for some digestive issues she had so when I inquired as to an appointment being available at Oz Animal Hospital to get her a check up and get her on file and was told that they wouldn't have any appointments until December 15 (this was early November), I said no problem and we'd come in December. I emailed them today (December 9) to check in. She is also now due for her Bordatella vaccine so I figured we'd get in for a check up and vaccine on

I will always have a special place in my heart for OZ animal hospital. The other day I came home from work to see my front door open and my dog missing. I was absolutely devastated and literally looking all around my neighborhood for my mini poodle Sabrina. It was especially cold that night and I was almost sure I wouldn't find her. OZ Animal Hospital graciously contacted me sharing that a Good Samaritan had brought in my pup and they utilized her microchip to find me. I'm sure I sounded half crazy on the phone as i was in the midst of tears. They were so very kind to me at a very vulnerable

I took my rescue cat for her first vet visit after her adoption and they were so kind and sweet with my girl! We were able to come in last minute after a cancellation and I filled out information online beforehand so the actually visit was fast and painless. Dr. Valbuena was so calm and efficient that my normally nervous and jumpy girl was relaxed and relatively anxiety-free. She is back home and lounging like nothing happened. I like that they are transparent with costs and give options for the wellness panel. They offer treats and everyone is very nice!

There's not enough stars in the world that I could give this please!!! My little man Quincy has advanced stage heart disease and we bring him to OZ to see Dr. Pinhasi for all of his primary care needs. As someone who is constantly in and out of vet offices, I can confidently say that this is the best place for my little guy! The entire veterinarian team at Oz is truly one of a kind. They are the kindest most compassionate and loving providers. Every visit with Quincy to Oz is so easy and it's truly heartwarming to see the love and care he receives here. Could not recommended this place
