Wonderful place! Dr. Pearlman was very pleasant and gentle with our cat Mitten. It was our first time there. Kerri, the receptionist, waived the $69.00 first exam fee because I mentioned the internet... See more

OCVH is the only place I would take my …
OCVH is the only place I would take my pet. Dr. Danowitz is "second to none." I believe the reason my diabetic cat lived to age 15 is because of the exceptional care from Dr. Danowitz. I now have a 7 year old cat and she is healthy and happy. Perhaps she is a bit "thick" but she doesn't always want to stay on her prescribed diet plan.
The staff is pleasant and professional. The facility is clean. You are greeted at your appointment time. Everyone wants to make your pet comfortable during the visit.
It is my pleasure to recommend OCVH to all pet owners.

They consistently care about my dog as if he was their own. The staff at OCVH always goes above and beyond our expectations. I asked them to update me if there were any issues while Charlie boarded with them, they called just to tell me he was happy and healthy... I recommend OCVH to any pet owner who wants to feel secure knowing their loved ones are being cared for properly...

I got charged for a office visit in which they never looked at my cat
just asked what was wrong with her and I told them she had like
clogs of matted fur that need to be cut off or shaved off , and they didn't do such a good job as before and my cat was in pain cause of how they shaved her, I will never let them shave her again the people were nice and all but I felt I shouldn't have been charged $69.00 for the visit

I called to get a prescription one day and she said it would be called in. I called the vet the next day it was never called in. So I had to wait another day. They called to say it was ready. I asked him to how many he said 4 I asked could it be for 6. He said he would ask. I picked it up and it was for 4. People who are manning the phones are not listening.
The staff is very helpful and friendly
The staff is very helpful and friendly. The doctors are great as well. Short wait times and they also take their time with you and your pet. You don’t feel rushed along. Prices are very affordable as well.

Doctor was good but very expensive and they charged me twice in a month for doctor visit when I took my cat the second time only to finish the vaccine. They charge unnecessarily and it was not fair.
