During initial visits veterinarians perform comprehensive physical examinations that assess dental health gait patterns joint mobility eye conditions hydration status and nervous system responses. People who own pets have the ability to report new behaviors including shifts in eating patterns and sleep habits as well as changes in their pets' handling tolerance. These patterns help define care pacing without forcing decisions too soon. Oconee Veterinary Hospital delivers preventive care diagnostic panels weight tracking surgical consults senior wellness services and chronic condition coaching. Plans are customized for each family's unique living situation, whether they reside in a city apartment experiencing new noise exposure or manage a household with multiple pets at various life stages.

Oconee Vet is absolutely the best! Dr. Bangle and Dr. Stortz are both terrific, and so is the entire staff. They always remember me and especially remember my dog. I've used them for both veterinary care as well as boarding and my dog actually gets excited if you ask him about going to the vet...that really probably says more than I ever could. Highly recommend

Well, since my family says I HAVE to go to the vet, I wouldn't pick any other place besides Oconee Veterinary Hospital. When we arrive I LOVE to sniff the bushes - they are full of good information about my furry friends. I like the way that Dr. Bangle and Dr. Stortz greet me with a smile and a give me a good petting each visit - they always know right where to scratch behind my ears! I get a little nervous at first once I'm back in the exam room, and I don't really like that metal exam table, but I forget about all that once one of my doctors starts talking to me. They distract me so well that I ALMOST don't notice when they take my temperature or draw my blood... that part is ruff, so that takes real skill! Before long, after a good exam, the table starts to lower and my adventure there for the year is almost over. The end is the best part. That's when I get my treat! You know, don't tell this to my family, but I think I actually LIKE going to the vet - it's a doggone good time! My family looks forward to receiving my report card each year following my visit, and they are pleased to have you as my vet. OVH is pawsitively great!

We have had great service with Dr. Bangle and his staff. He takes the time to answer all of your questions, and seems to really care about your babies. He gives his opinion of what he would do, and doesn't belittle you if you want to forgo a specific procedure, as long as your pet's life isn't in danger. Lora at the front desk is always pleasant, friendly and very patient. We highly recommend Oconee Veterinary Hospital

For over 20 years, we have trusted Dr. Bangle and in addition more recently, Dr. Stortz, for our pets needs. They have both graciously helped us navigate the lives of seven pets from birth, to the death of two. They always exceeded our expectations. They and their staff are consistently compassionate and adept at determining what is best for the animal and the owner and providing those services quickly and efficiently. Lora at the front desk is always welcoming, pleasant and accommodating as are all of the technicians, especially Daniel whom we have seen most often. € Ron Forehand, MD

On a coworkers recommendation we took our dog here as an emergency patient. Right from the moment we walked in Laura was so friendly and considerate. She kept us in the loop on what the visit would cost so we weren't surprised at the end. Dr.Stortz constantly updated us on the condition of our dog and what our options were moving forward. Both my boyfriend and myself were very emotional throughout our dog's visit and the staff was so understanding and sympathetic. I would recommend this office to anyone.

I took my new puppy there based on the reviews, and I was not disappointed. Everyone there is so nice and knowledgeable. The hospital was incredibly nice...I was out of town, and my puppy got bit by a spider late at night and her paw started up swell up. I called the hospital to see if they thought the situation was harmful enough for me to take her to the vet or a local vet hospital. They helped me that night and provided me with answers that calmed my worries and saved me a lot of money! Hands down, great vet!
