Dr. Tanner and his surgical team are miracle workers.  We are from out of town and our Ridgeback became ill and pooped a plate size of blood.  We called the office and they were able to see us in our emergency state.  An xray reveled a blocked intestine and the staff acted swiftly to cancel patients in order to perform emergency surgery on our beloved one year old pup.  Dr. Tanner is a compassionate, caring, highly professional veterinarian. If it wasn't for his swift decisions our dog would not be alive.  We are all grateful for him saving our pup and his sister was glad to have her brother back home and playful after recovering a couple of weeks.  Last year both my parents passed, two of my cousins passed and a local schoolmate/deputy sheriff was murdered.  We are still recovering from the shock of so much loss.  We are so happy to have our furbaby home and healthy.

I'm a mess when my little guys are under the weather! I've got a little girl Kari who has heart failure and being treated by at this time Dr .Gottschslks! I couldn't be more happier with her and the staff. I've had quite a few Vets there throughout the years and they have always taken me in right away and very caring and truthful! I would recommend and do this facility to everyone who is looking for a good Vet and so close too!! Thank you all so much! Denise Koeller Read Less

Dr. Tanner and his crew are amazing, my dog had a very serious injury and they fixed her up. They did a ortopedic surgery and it was very successful, they took care of my baby as she if she was one of their own. i highly recommend going here with your pets. Read Less

I have used many vets over the years for both of my female labs. But I have never felt more comfortable and witnessed such care and love for the four legged family members. Thanks to Modesto Fire guys for a great recommendation on these dedicated and caring individuals. Read Less

This Five Star review is long overdue; I met Dr. Mel in the park one afternoon many years ago after our Border Collie, Jazz, had recently healed up from a broken leg. I'm talking dogs with the fellow, and then he introduces himself as a veterinarian! Our family switched over to Old Towne and never looked back. The respect and care my dogs have always received here has never wavered, and I have and will continue to recommend this practice to all friends and new, local puppy parents. Our most recent visit was not the happiest, I believe we waited too long on some symptoms and just relied on our dogs' very healthy history, but we did not act in time. We want to thank Dr. Tanner and all the staff there for their caring and follow-up. Baby Blue thanks you, too. Read Less

I brought my seven year old chihuahua in for an emergency cesarian and came home with a healthy mom and two wonderful pups! I recommend family veterinary care of oakdale to anyone looking for a vet home! Priced very fairly and loving staff that didn't give up on our little nugget!(: Read Less

I can't possibly explain the love and caring that goes on in this clinic, I have been here in happy times as well as extremely hard times, making decisions on when to go on and when to stop, I truly love Mel and his team. Read Less

Our lovely kitten was mutilated by having her ear tip cut off. The vet knew that the kitten was a house pet, and she had been seen twice before in the office. They claim that my mother requested the procedure...about 3/4 inch or more of her was cut off. The vet admitted that they wondered why my mother would request this, but no one bothered to call and check before permanently mutilating the cat. He even asked me if my mother had ever worked with pigs because evidently pigs get their ears marked in this way. YEAH RIGHT, MY MOM USED TO BE A PIG FARMER AND DECIDED TO HAVE HER KITTEN MARKED LIKE A PIG. We are just heartbroken, not that the kitty won't be fine, but at the incompetence and lack of follow through on a situation that did not seem right to them in the first place. Read Less

I cannot even begin to thank the staff here for taking care of our four (and three) legged family members. Most recently, our lab Chloe was found after an almost three year period of being missing from our property. She was malnourished and in bad shape when we were reunited. However, with a little fluid, medication, and lots of love from Dawn and staff, she is a happy girl once again! Can't thank you enough for the ability to enjoy one more Christmas with our girl:) Read Less
