Eastgate Animal Hospital

Since moving to Cincinnati 5 years ago I have been bringing my cats here. Quality care and friendly staff. Very easy to get an appointment, even on the same day. They are open early, late, and on Saturdays, so convenient. Read Less

Dr. G Goode is the absolute best cat vet. I have a 14 year old male cat with many health issues and a not so nice disposition. Dr. Goode seems to have a way of making Orin comfortable enough to let her examining him. She is The Cat Whisper and I am completely confident that the care Orin receives is the best possible care available. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend Eastgate Animal Hospital. Read Less

The staff was very kind, attentive, caring and extremely helpful from the first call. Their attention to my cat was comforting. The way they talked with my daughter and I regarding the cat's care was kind as well as respectful. The follow up visit was as good as the first visit. I will be going there moving forward and recommend them to anyone who asks. Read Less

We started coming here after adopting from Cincinnati Lab Rescue. We wanted to stay with the docs that had saved our puppy and knew her issues. Now we stay because they are such a great group of docs. I'm always able to get questions answered on the phone and able to get an appointment quickly when needed. I've met all of the doctors at this point and they are all wonderful! Definitely recommend this practice. Read Less

Fantastic service. Visiting from out of town and needed a non-emergency visit. We were promptly taken care of and made felt like we were long time clients. The receptionist was extremely amazing handling walk in, drop offs and phones. Techs were super nice and caring. Doctor Jon Hall was extremely professional and put ease in our minds during the holidays about our pup. Would definitely be a regular if we lived in this area. Definitely recommend this place.

We've been bringing our cat here since we found him when he weighed only 3 ounces. Our first visit was no charge for a rescue. They were very supportive and had alot of helpful tips on raising an orphaned kitten. With their help he now weighs a little over 6 pounds.Read Less

While I was caring for a stray cat and her two kittens, I noticed that their tongues and gums had no color. I called and made an appointment to have them seen. It was an hour of waiting before the vet came in. I could hear a discussion in the hallway about taking a recheck first. The vet was not the least bit helpful. Said it could be feline lukemia or fleas and sent us on our way after charging me $70. One of the kittens died 12 hours later. I was able to find better information online to save the other kitten than I got from the vet. So, thanks for nothing. Read Less

We recently switched to this practice from another, and our dogs have been in several times for both routine visits as well as surgery and last minute appointments. The staff and doctors have made us feel comfortable and importantly, our dogs have received wonderful care. Things we love most about this practice are the emergency options for off hours and the reasonable prices for visits and service. Very happy! Read Less

The doctors and staff at Eastgate are the best. They are caring and concerned and are very attuned to the life cycle of pets, caring for them from birth through geriatric care. They offer 24-hour on call emergency treatment to established clients and this has been a life-saver for us. Read Less

I have gone here for almost ten years and love it. They're great and I love being able to go to my vet in case of an emergency verses a Medvet etc. It gives me piece of mind to know my dogs are going to be cared for no matter what. Read Less

I've been coming here for 12 years now, I wouldn't trust my three babies to anyone else. Whether we are seeing one of the Vets, Boarding, or Daycare - these folks are the absolute BEST. And they have handled it ALL with my three!! Read Less

I want to thank the staff for their care of our family recently when we had to make the difficult decision to let our beloved cat go across the Rainbow Bridge . During such a difficult time, they cared for us, supported us, and made sure that our fur baby was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Hall is caring and compassionate, and made himself available to inform us, answer our questions, and offer comfort. Quality care, compassionate staff....thank you. Read Less

Our dobie, Peko, had to be euthanized due to a terminal illness. All of the staff members at Eastgate Animal Hospital were amazing during our very difficult time. I particularly appreciate the time the doctors took to explain everything that was going on to our young kids. It is very evident that the doctors and other staff members truly care about the animals and people whom they serve. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking medical expertise served with compassion. Read Less

I've taken my dog and cats here for awhile until I had an issue with one of my cats.  My cat wasn't eating and lost weight bought her in and was checked out to be ok. A week later she was non stop meowing with the same issues and I brought her to Banfield Pet Hosp-Eastgate and had e-ray done and turns out she had tumors. I had to make a heartbreaking decision and had her put down.  I have a sister who brought her animals there to and she had similar experiences.  OBottom line it's fine to go there just for yearly vaccinations, boarding but I wouldn't recommend anything other than for those reasons.

I've been coming here for years... because the staff and doctors are amazing. Prices are not outrageous. Love the 24 emergency line for clients. I've had to use it a time or two over the years and I felt relief to know my fur babies were in good hands no matter time or day. I see no reason for this great group not to be my life long vet!

Eastgate Animal Hospital provided excellent care to our Retreiver mix Lucky.Unfortunately Lucky has passed on and is now a rainbow dog.He had cancer.We will continue to bring our yellow lab mix Candy for all of her needs.Everyone there is spectacular. Read Less

They always take great care of Dozer and Rogue! I started bringing my boys here when they were puppies 10 years ago. I moved to the Westside 8 years ago and still drive across town to Eastgate because we love them! Thank you for everything you do Dr. Phillips! Read Less

Terrible experience today. Make sure you know up front what they are doing or your bill will reflect possibly things,you did not ask for. Also I will take the suggestion I was given back to my old vet 2 hours away for a second opinion. I felt a,rush of judgement for financial purposes occured. Sadly Dr. Phillips was off but I won't be back. Read Less

Be Aware and Ask questions! While the Vets (Dr Goode and others) do seem nice, you may want to be aware that while this facility calls itself a Hospital, and they say they offer ""complete care"", i suggest you ask a lot of questions about exactly what your animal will be subjected to. for instance, they may suggest your pet will be monitored overnight, but ask if they have anyone on the premises who will physically be checking on the animals and at what times are they there?. you may be surprised. If your pet is being admitted for an overnight stay and you feel they should receive supervision, i personally suggest asking where you can get that type of care. It's my experience and opinion you will NOT find it here. I don't know what the rules are for naming a business, but i've always thought the term Hospital implied patients receiving 24 hour supervision in case of emergencies, but in reality, this must not be the case. My suggestion is naming it correctly, or at least something that does not give the wrong message. Is it a clinic or a care center? i don't know..but from my perspective, it is not a Hospital. Just my opinion. My dog passed away at this facility recently and only afterwards did i find out about the lack of staffing at night....and no...it's not even in the fine print for the waivers you sign. Neither my dog nor myself received much in the way of dignified treatment the I thought would be part of a HOSPITAL>i wish I had asked and i also wish the staff had given me the option to take my pet to a facility that offers that more complete supervision and care. I dont know that i will ever get over the fact I did not ask, and for me whats worse ....they did not tell me or offer -- that other care options were available and probably in order. The vet said they would monitor my dog overnight and for me, that sure implies they have ""complete care"" and staff on premises to check on the patients, but my interpretation was not right. Additionally, and to my horror, i later discovered dogs are considered ""property"" thus all vets and hospitals only liability appears to be that of replacement costs (value to replace the ""property"" (an animal of similar age/type/health) at most. Am I the only one disturbed by this? Read Less

I have been attending Eastgate Animal Hospital for three years now. This year when my 10 year old westie boy developed an aggressive form of cancer in his head the phenomenal skills Dr Fricke employed in surgery made a horrible situation as dignified, and pleasant as possible. His skill was amazing, his bedside manner and compassion are wonderful. A very kind and gifted man. Dr Phillips was also outstanding in his follow up care and attention to the sensitivity of the matter. All Doctors went above and beyond in their care and compassion to a heartbreaking journey. Everyone at the facility is excellent and I would highly recommend all of the Doctors and their friendly staff . Read Less

I recently took my beloved dog to east-gate animal hospital for back issues. She has been very uncomfortable and at this time can not walk. Dr. Phillips was the first person I talked to at the Hospital and he was wonderful. He called me back asap and worked with me on payments for Sandy since her treatment was estimated at a very high price. When I had my surgery consulate at the Hospital for Sandy I saw Dr. Frick. He was Wonderful! He explained all of our options for Sandy and was so optimistic about her recovering it helped minimize the stress of losing Sandy. He never even mentioned the option of putting her to sleep, her which the 3 other vets I saw did and there pricing was outrageous. Although that is a option of course if there is nothing we can do for her and suffering is not an option. The other vets were nice and very highly recommended but would not work with you if you have income issues. Only option they offered was CareCredit and not everyone is eligible for that service which still leaves the person in a bind on how to care for there beloved pet. I recommend East-gate animal hospital to anyone! Wonderful Staff and overall wonderful Place to take your animals! Read Less

I have been taking my labradores to Eastgate for years. Last year my 4 year old yellow lab needed ACL surgery. Dr. Frick performed the surgery and altough it took acouple of months for a full recovery, he gave me back a puppy! She wears us out chasing her favorite toys. There is an honest love and concern by all staff when I take any of my dogs to the clinic. Roncy organizes a fabuous and awe inspiring rescue. Dr. Todd has become more than our vet, he's like seeing an old friend when we visit. I have recommended them to all my friends. What an awesome group of people you are! Keep up the great work.

We have four Boston Terriers. Eastgate Animal Hospital provides excellent care for our dogs. Todd Phillips has offered to personally help us with the dogs, in an emergency, as any time of the night. One time, after the female had babies, we called him in around midnight as we were concerned about one of the male pups. Todd offered to personally stop by the house if we needed him. Todd also has the most incredible staff. They are very personable, know us and the dogs by name, and always make us feel valued. Eastgate Animal Hospital is just the best place to take your pets. Their customer service is outstanding! Read Less
