We are from out of town and our dog was not doing well so we called around to get him into to see a vet and the first one we called was going to be about 2 weeks before they could see him. We continued calling around and we were able to get him into Kelowna Veterinary Hospital 4 hours later. When Dr. Ellen examined him Buddy had multiple Bladder Stones that needed to be removed with surgery, they took him in immediately for emergency surgery and they kept him overnight. We didn't realize how serious it was and if it would have been delayed it could have been more serious than what it was. . We want to thank everyone at the Hospital for the care and love they gave Buddy and us, especially Dr.Ellen, we would without doubt recommend the facility. If we could give more than a 5 star review we would. Read Less

They say pets have a way of letting you know when it's time to say goodbye & that is exactly what happened to us with our precious 12 yr old Scout. It was on her timetable not ours, she wanted to go sooner than we had expected. Wanting Scout to pass at home made "her timetable" a challenge on short notice to find a vet able to come to our home. That is when we happened on Dr Ellen Nicklassen who had never met Scout yet made time in her day for us. We cannot thank Dr Ellen enough. With her professional respectful manner & compassion Dr Ellen managed to transform an incredibly sad situation into a serene loving moment. Scouts passing was so peaceful & beautiful.

A year ago during a vacation in Kelowna our dog became very ill. Ellen was the Doctor on that day and she was so kind and compassionate towards our sick dog that had a very difficult diagnosis. This included calls back and forth with our vet in Calgary and a variety of lab tests. This year while back in Kelowna our dog took a turn for the worst and we had to put him down. Fortunately Ellen was the Doctor in that day as well. Being from out of town made this a difficult situation but she was just excellent, she even kept the clinic open late as we rushed him in from out of town and answered all of our questions even though I'm sure she would have rather been at home. These people really care about the animals and their owners. I would recommend them every day all day and Dr. Ellen is just the best! Read Less
