Barrington Oaks Veterinary Hospital

Elk River, Minnesota
General Info
In the local pet community, Barrington Oaks Veterinary Hospital is well-known for its compassionate and thorough approach. Each appointment at the Elk River-based Barrington Oaks Veterinary Hospital begins with intricate communication. Subtle behaviors and shared glances reveal movement patterns that narrate stories to Minnesota families. Examinations begin with attention rather than touch. They observe subtle behaviors like where the animal looks when called, how it breathes as they talk to it, and if it moves toward or away from motion. Care then unfolds in parts. The pet’s stability and positioning, such as how it anchors itself or displays leaning or stiffening, determine the state of its skin, coat, and joints. The internal reviews of teeth, abdomen, and heart rhythm usually follow whenever the signs of trust show. Additionally, owners provide details about changes in their daily routines, new sounds that affect pets, and shifts in the timing of walks or feedings. Barrington Oaks Veterinary Hospital offers a wide range of services from life stage and diagnostic examinations to weight management programs, dental health care, senior joint wellness plans, and disease management. The time dimensions are variable depending on the behavior. Certain appointments advance at an accelerated pace, as both parties exhibit unambiguous consent cues. Because of this, certain movement sequences have a gradual unfolding pattern from stage to stage. Pets can find “pause” zones to recalibrate and continue their adventures. The focus of post-visit care then moves to household translation. Determine which sleep patterns need monitoring and how to reinstate the routine, know when to look out for subtle signs like family distancing, appetite decline, and position guarding. It is also advised to place emphasis on time apart from symptoms. At what specific time does restlessness begin to manifest? What time of the day do hesitation levels peak? Barrington Oaks Veterinary Hospital helps families in Elk River and surrounding Minnesota areas realize that behavior is a living signal. Pets use it to communicate via everyday pauses, nudges, and shifts rather than during crises. The practice offers a variety of services such as Parasite Prevention, Oncology, Dental Care, Prescription Medication, and Boarding. These treatments enable pets to live their healthiest lives by supporting them through all life stages. Pet owners commend the team’s expertise and compassionate communication, as well as the clinic’s ability to clearly explain medical decisions. Whether it is senior pet care or a health issue that needs immediate attention, they want the clients to know that the whole staff will be there for them and their furry baby at all times. The clinic also plays a pivotal role in educating pet owners and advising on preventive health measures. The community engagement events orchestrated by Barrington Oaks Veterinary Hospital assist in laying a solid groundwork for responsible pet ownership. New and returning clients continually comment on how much the practice has evolved with modern times while retaining its friendly, professional atmosphere.

Shout out to Barrington Oaks Veterinary Hospital . Conveniently located 2 blocks away from me. Read their website. They will see animals in emergency situations unless it’s after hours. The truth is, they will not see your pet on a Saturday unless you have an appointment. Even if it’s an emergency of coarse unless you’ve been spending a ton of money on your pet there already. Then It would be up to the vets discretion as they put it. Cats crying in pain laying on the ground. Other cat is trying to get him to move. Moms crying that he’s dying. I look up their website and take him there. No animals in the waiting room. Receptionist doesn’t get off the phone or her chair but still asks for appointment, looks up my account ( I have had two cats there 2 times over the past 7 years) and says she’s sorry but they wouldn’t have time. She didn’t even ask the vet. I’m thinking, surely the vet would be an animal lover and take a few minutes to check the symptoms and give a little advice on which route to go. I called them afterwards and gave them a second chance. I got a hold of a different worker that went and asked the vet. She got back on the phone and asked my information so they could look at my account. Afterwards they said they were sorry but they wouldn’t have time today. So, my take away is, their customer service sucks. Their vets focus on the money and their personal comfort not the animals. Read Less

I called yesterday morning and they were able to schedule an appointment for my cat, even being a new patient. They were extremely caring and compassionate towards both my cat and me. My 16 year old baby was so at peace at the office. They treated her like one of their own. They made sure to break down all of the pricing before I made any decisions about running tests, then made sure to explain all of my options to me once I had the results and gave me time to think through m…y decision. I never imagined I would have my baby put down, but I didn’t want her to suffer anymore. They again were nothing but compassionate during the whole process. They let me schedule a later time so that I could have a family member there with me and gave her medicine to help her be comfortable during those last few hours. I am still an emotional wreck, but am incredibly thankful for the staff who made it a little easier. Thank you Barrington Oaks. Afficher la suite Read Less

Brought our puppy in over concern about recent limping. Did well over $300 worth of labs and x-rays. We were sent home with pain and inflammation pills. We sought another opinion. This next vet knew what she was doing. Talked to us extensively about the limp and said it was a luxating patella which is the most common limp in a dog. She told us to place our dog on a glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM product. Our dog does not limp anymore and runs and plays all the time. It has been many many months. All it cost us was an office visit with a vet who was honest and knew what she was doing. The reason I am giving 3 stars is because Dr. Dennis is wonderful! He has a genuine love for animals and has taken great care of our pets and always been conscientious about the cost. Wish we had seen him that day! Read Less

I have never had a good experience there. My parents had problems there and now i have. A disk shifted in our cats leg they took x rays charged me $400 and said something was wrong with his joint and he'd either need surgury or to be put down. The next day we brought him back and complained and a different doctor looked at him and found the problem. She said it would be $60 for a splint and it ended up being $90. And the splint is way to big for a kitten! Every time ive been there it has always cost me AT LEAST $30 more then they said it would. Everytime I go there they nickle and dime you. I will never go there again and i hope nobody else ever goes there and has unnecessary tests, x-rays or opperations done to there pet or gets screwed like i did. Read Less

I am amending my original review. Originally, we found the pricing at Barrington Oaks to be outrageous. After the company contacted me based on my review, we found their was an error in my bill. When I made the appointment I was told their would be no exam fee for a follow up booster appointment. However, there was an exam fee as it is their policy to give an exam every time. The clinic then hid this mistake from me by rolling the fee into one of the vaccinations instead of k…eeping as a separate line item like it had been with our first appointment. It's seems like someone just gave us misinformation and it caused a big snowball affect. Anyways, the company is now refunding us for the miscommunication and what became a hidden fee. Now that the truth has been found and the problem has been rectified with good customer service, I am giving them a much better rating but am overall still a bit leery of the business for trying to hide their error. Overall, they are caring, their pricing is spot on, and they have good customer service. You just may want to check your bill for accuracy and ensure you are being charged as they described when you booked the appointment. Afficher la suite Read Less

Also urinalysis did not include a culture for the UTI so the antibiotics are not resolving the infection. Read Less

I am very impressed with how quickly the Vet was able to diagnose and treat my mini Dachshund, Max. Max was in pain, shaking, not eating and hiding in the closet. I thought he had re-injured his leg but I was totally wrong! The Vet did a thorough exam and knew right away it wasn't his leg. After a thorough round of tests the results came back within 20 minutes and the Vet came in with medications and an IV of fluids to treat Max for Anaplasmosis and a sore back (minor spine issues). The Vet and technician were very gentle with Max and treated him well. Max came back from the tests wagging his tail and happy! After his first round of meds at home that afternoon Max was feeling better than he had all week. His fever went down and he was finally interested in eating again. I am SO grateful!! I also appreciated their efforts to make the treatment rooms less stressful with calming music and other touches. THANK YOU for helping my pup feel so much better so quickly!Read Less

I called yesterday morning and they were able to schedule an appointment for my cat, even being a new patient. They were extremely caring and compassionate towards both my cat and me. My 16 year old baby was so at peace at the office. They treated her like one of their own. They made sure to break down all of the pricing before I made any decisions about running tests, then made sure to explain all of my options to me once I had the results and gave me time to think through m…y decision. I never imagined I would have my baby put down, but I didn’t want her to suffer anymore. They again were nothing but compassionate during the whole process. They let me schedule a later time so that I could have a family member there with me and gave her medicine to help her be comfortable during those last few hours. I am still an emotional wreck, but am incredibly thankful for the staff who made it a little easier. Thank you Barrington Oaks. Afficher la suite Read Less

Brought our puppy in over concern about recent limping. Did well over $300 worth of labs and x-rays. We were sent home with pain and inflammation pills. We sought another opinion. This next vet knew what she was doing. Talked to us extensively about the limp and said it was a luxating patella which is the most common limp in a dog. She told us to place our dog on a glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM product. Our dog does not limp anymore and runs and plays all the time. It has been many many months. All it cost us was an office visit with a vet who was honest and knew what she was doing. The reason I am giving 3 stars is because Dr. Dennis is wonderful! He has a genuine love for animals and has taken great care of our pets and always been conscientious about the cost. Wish we had seen him that day! Read Less

I have never had a good experience there. My parents had problems there and now i have. A disk shifted in our cats leg they took x rays charged me $400 and said something was wrong with his joint and he'd either need surgury or to be put down. The next day we brought him back and complained and a different doctor looked at him and found the problem. She said it would be $60 for a splint and it ended up being $90. And the splint is way to big for a kitten! Every time ive been there it has always cost me AT LEAST $30 more then they said it would. Everytime I go there they nickle and dime you. I will never go there again and i hope nobody else ever goes there and has unnecessary tests, x-rays or opperations done to there pet or gets screwed like i did. Read Less

I am amending my original review. Originally, we found the pricing at Barrington Oaks to be outrageous. After the company contacted me based on my review, we found their was an error in my bill. When I made the appointment I was told their would be no exam fee for a follow up booster appointment. However, there was an exam fee as it is their policy to give an exam every time. The clinic then hid this mistake from me by rolling the fee into one of the vaccinations instead of k…eeping as a separate line item like it had been with our first appointment. It's seems like someone just gave us misinformation and it caused a big snowball affect. Anyways, the company is now refunding us for the miscommunication and what became a hidden fee. Now that the truth has been found and the problem has been rectified with good customer service, I am giving them a much better rating but am overall still a bit leery of the business for trying to hide their error. Overall, they are caring, their pricing is spot on, and they have good customer service. You just may want to check your bill for accuracy and ensure you are being charged as they described when you booked the appointment. Afficher la suite Read Less

The staff is always so friendly and helpful when I bring my animals here. Most recent my dog was having an allergic reaction and was itching uncontrollably. Dr. Kim saw him, provided a thorough diagnosis, and we began treatment. He is getting better and the itching has stopped, he is gaining his weight back and is back to his crazy self.

Took urine sample from my dog with an unnecessary and expensive ultrasound procedure to confirm a bladder infection. Extra $55 cost that I was not informed of when leaving my dog there for the day. Called around other vets in the area this is a senseless charge when a sample can be taken when the dog is peeing. Also urinalysis did not include a culture for the UTI so the antibiotics are not resolving the infection. Read Less

I am very impressed with how quickly the Vet was able to diagnose and treat my mini Dachshund, Max. Max was in pain, shaking, not eating and hiding in the closet. I thought he had re-injured his leg but I was totally wrong! The Vet did a thorough exam and knew right away it wasn't his leg. After a thorough round of tests the results came back within 20 minutes and the Vet came in with medications and an IV of fluids to treat Max for Anaplasmosis and a sore back (minor spine issues). The Vet and technician were very gentle with Max and treated him well. Max came back from the tests wagging his tail and happy! After his first round of meds at home that afternoon Max was feeling better than he had all week. His fever went down and he was finally interested in eating again. I am SO grateful!! I also appreciated their efforts to make the treatment rooms less stressful with calming music and other touches. THANK YOU for helping my pup feel so much better so quickly!Read Less
