I’ve been going to Northern Oaks Bird and Animal Hospital for the past several years, and I am extremely pleased with the care my cats have received. The doctors and staff are conscientious, personable, and trustworthy. I hope the following information will be helpful. HOURS: M-F/ 7:00 to 7:00 and Sat. 8:00 to 1:00 (Better than my doctor!) I have never had a problem scheduling an appointment. The times when an emergency popped up, I was worked in with complete efficiency. QUALITY OF CARE: EXCELLENT! The doctors and staff at ... read more

Do they really care about the ANIMALS or THE MONEY?!!!/ – My family has been going there for 20+ years ever since we got our first family pet. about 20 years ago. My best friend and their family goes there for a fair amount of time. I just got done spending over $560.00 on an exam routine shots and one xray that took less than an hour. I have been to the EMERGENCY clinic for basically the same but more intense exam and paid only $380.00 and change. Plus I spent another $400.00 a few months ago for another one of my kids. Now... read more

Dr. S. Rebekah Byrd is the best vet I have ever known – As soon as I met Dr. Rebekah Byrd I new my dog was in extremely capable hands. She was professorial, personable and very knowledgeable. I feel my pet has received the best care an owner could ask for!! Dr. Byrd was time efficient while also taking the time to answer all my questions (I did not know there were DVM that still did that-- but she does!) so when you leave you feel very comfortable in understanding the diagnoses you were given and all your questions answered.... read more

Excellent care – This is a place where I know ALL of my pets are loved. They are not "cat people" or "dog people" but everything people! Very professional and I know all of my babies are in good hands. I always get a call from the doctor to keep me up to date on whichever one of my animals are there and they have always been fair and extremely knowledgeable and kind. The techs are also friendly and the front staff knows me and my animals by name when we walk in. The groomers are excellent. They have done miracles with my for... read more

Lack of parking /// accessing – I have been a customer for about 5 yr. First Jamie Melios Faylis and now doctor Vargo. Expressing anal glands and nails clipped by technicians who do a good job at NC. Receptionists busy efficient people who are pleasant. Really up to date facility and clean, seems well organized with good records. Always receive a followup phone call on how the animal is doing the next day. I trust the doctor to know what she is doing. Negative= little expensive & the parking Positive= Complete facility with ... read more

A very special place – We had taken our little dog. It was runned over that evening and I didn't know what to do. I called for help on my poor little dog passing away. They asked me to come in and they would take care of everything. I did and said my farewells. Later, that following week I recieved the most wonderfull, precious thing the ashes of my Bonnie. I was so, blessed with an ornament, picture (guess the one they had from her exams) and a very nice letter about my Bonnie. Thank you so much for all your care!

Avoid this clinic if you love your pet!!! – I have to agree with the other reviewers that they are expensive(like four times the usual price at other clincis!) and have short hours. The man problem is that their techs are inexperienced, the office is run poorly and their routine health exams are too short and incomplete. If you love your pet, you will go elsewhere!!

Incredible Customer Service – I've done some price shopping because I have multiple pets & Northern Oaks is a bit more expensive than most... BUT the customer service and loving care you receive is unbeatable. We, too, had to put a couple of our dogs down in the past few years. The doctors and staff were very empathetic and helped us through the process and even let us stay in the room during the final moments and then afterwards as long as we wanted. They also offer cremation. There's hardly ever a wait & they also do board... read more

An Amazingly Great Experience – I have had nothing but incredible service at Northern Oaks. My cat became very ill a few years ago and I was having to go in almost every other day to see the doctors there. They treated me, my cat and the situation with so much attention, love and concern that you would have thought it was their cat! After having to take my cat to an emergency vet office for emergency surgery, the doctors at Northern Oaks still kept in constant contact with me. Dr. McGlothlin even asked that I call her to let... read more
