Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital & Emergency at South Saunders

"I am SO glad someone recommended Oak Heart Vet in Saunders to me. We had terrible experiences at several other places, so this was a breath of fresh air. They actually allowed me in the room with my dog, explained everything to me/answered my questions, and let me decide what medications/vaccinations I wanted instead of automatically doing them and billing me way too much. I am a Registered Nurse and this process is how it should go, felt much more ethical. The vet tech and the vet were so kind to my doodle who can be quite anxious during his annual checkups due to previous bad experiences. When I called to schedule the appointment, I really thought the lady on the other end was an automated voice for a second because she was SO FRIENDLY!!! It was also very clean. The face of my dog says it all, couldn’t recommend this place more"

"My Francesca (15 week old Catahoula leopard) was really sick! We checked in, and she was seen so quick! In less than 5 minutes, we were in a room. The nurse was friendly, attentive, and amazing with her. The Vet was in the room minutes later. She was reassuring, knowledgeable, and had medicine in hand. Francesca was feeling relief from her symptoms minutes later. I am a helicopter parent, and I was so relived and relaxed due to their calm, reassuring, and knowledgeable nature. The fee was reasonable and cheaper than others in the area. The facility was beautiful. If anything ever happens again ( hopefully not ), I WILL ONLY GO THERE. The 1.5 hour drive was worth it!!! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!"

"I brought my elderly dog here for seizures this past weekend. Despite being here for an emergency, this was a phenomenal experience. Everyone that helped us was compassionate and so nice. They treated our dog so kindly and I felt so comfortable knowing she was in good hands for her overnight stay. Overall, everyone was so professional and also very kind. 15/10!!!"

"I'm from Charlotte and have only been in Raleigh for a year. I thought I had a good vet in Charlotte, Oak Heart shockingly surpassed my expectations. The vet was so through with my two pups and gave lots of time to each and to talk to me about them. I am so happy I found a veterinary clinic that is so compassionate about what they do! I'll be back agsin, again and again. Thank you!!"

"This little boy gave us quite a scare at bedtime this weekend. After the regular ER vet we see told us it was a 4-6 hour wait and that no one would come out to help with lifesaving measures if he took a turn for the worse, we called Oakheart not knowing what to expect. From the initial phone call I was immediately put more at ease. While there was a 3-4 hour wait expected we were assured someone could come help if he was critical. We have found our puppy people. The staff was so kind and helpful. Everyone was genuinely concerned for our baby and were all so accommodating from the start to finish. Dr. Blackburn and the team on 7/10 - you have impressed us so much we'll be back for sure for regular visits and hopefully no more emergency ones! Hammy is feeling much better now after a few days of being babied and getting A LOT of rest."
