Oak Creek Veterinary Hospital

My whole family and many friends have been taking our dogs and cats to Oak Creek Vets for +10 years. The vets are knowledgeable, compassionate, and treat you like you are part of their family. Their prices are more than fair! LOVE them, especially Dr Boos! Read Less

My dog recently had an emergency which caused her to need stitches on her nose and medical treatment. We brought her here, as it was the closest and I was freaking out because my baby was bleeding so badly! They took her back immediately while I filed the paperwork. Within a few hours, she was stitched up and ready to go with her antibiotics. They were kind and handled the situation quickly. When I first went in I felt they were a little rude, but when I came back to get her, they were all kind and talking. I think I was just freaking out a little! I would recommend them to anyone with fur babies! I have found my new vet for my baby! Thanks again for all you have done! Read Less

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I took my American Staffirdshire Terrier (AKA Pit Bull) here because he started acting strange and broke out with hives all over his body. The first sign I noticed was all the staff seemed to act as if they were scared of my dog because of his breed. Anyone that knows my dog; know he is a big baby and he is not aggressive or violent in any type of way. We even assured them and showed them he is not aggressive in any type of way so they would not feel scared or threatened. They proceeded to say they are going to put him in a crate. Now my dog has never been in a crate his whole life, because we do not believe in putting our dog in a cage. They took him to the back and caged him, and when he was ready to see the veterinarian, they asked us to go get him ourselves. So we did. I did not see any other person there go get their dog, nor did I see anyone there get their dog crated. When we took our dog to one of the rooms, he was really scared and shaken up and he barked at two of the staff members. I've never seen him act that way before. With out regular vet, he loves everyone there. So fast forward weeks later we take him to our regular vet and he is terrified and he pees and poops instantly on the floor in the waiting area. I do believe they did something or mistreated my dog, because he developed this fear now that was never there before. It's not fair that his breed gets bullied and everyone automatically assumes he is going to be violent and aggressive. When we finally left and they gave us papers, the assistant put down in the system that he is "aggressive and violent". My fiancé and I both watched them do this. So he barked twice and was shaking and shivering balled in a corner; that's enough to label him aggressive?! I call bs. It was only because he is a "Pit Bull". Read Less

This is a really good vet hospital. Dr. Kathy Nelson has always done a great job in caring for my cat.  The first time I brought him in he had serious skin problems and a strange growth in his mouth.  She was conservative in his treatment and it all worked out great.  His growth is gone and his coat is beautiful.  She did not push for expensive surgery or other needless and risky treatment.  I greatly appreciated her honesty and was impressed by her knowledge, and obviously she is very experienced.  Now my cat comes in for exams and boosters every three years.

have been with them for several dogs over the last 24 years. They are always kind and caring. The front desk always gets my dog seen in a timely manner that accommodates my schedule. The doctors are knowledgable and caring. My little 15 y/o angel is blind and half deaf but she is not ready to leave yet. The prices are fair for the area. I recommend this vet. Read Less

Best vet I have ever known. Caring, understanding, helpful and willing to go above and beyond to help. Reasonable rates, helpful caring staff. Reminders sent for checkups needed. Recommend them to anyone and everyone who has pets Read Less

While the veterinary staff is excellent, their customer service staff need training. A particular woman who works at the front desk is incredibly rude. Oak Creek deserves a better face for their brand and better support for their customers. Read Less

Friday,  3/27/15, was my first time ever going to this place with my 15 year old cat,  Patches,  and unfortunately I will never go again.  My appointment was at 4pm, and I was told to arrive a few minutes early to fill out paperwork since we were new.  I arrived a few minutes early and filled out the paperwork. And then we waited and waited.  We waited in a waiting room full of other patrons with their loud,  hyper,  barking dogs. My poor cat was petrified as she is small and only knows our 1 other cat and dog at the house.  At around 4:30 they took one couple and their huge American bulldog to their own room to wait in because the dog was sliding over the floor because he wouldn't sit still and wanted to attack every other dog that came into the room. Right when I was getting ready to get up and leave at 4:48 we got called to go into a room, where we then waited some more,  until 5:15, where I got a small apology from the vet.  I know it wasn't her fault and that things happen,  but I was never told how long I would be waiting,  or how far behind they were running behind.  I am very disappointed, as I drive by this place every day and it's very close to my home.Also, the vet was listening to Patches' heartbeat and said she was breathing very fast,  and I tried to tell her that my cat was very nervous and afraid as she is never outside, or in a cage, or around other animals, but the vet just brushed it off saying she bets that Patches breathes heavy when she's at home;  well she's on my lap now and as usual she's breathing her normal,  slow and steady pace.

Today my dog need surgery for removal of a fatty tumor.   I cannot say enough about the great treatment she received from the staff.   The vet also took his time to explain how it went.    I've been here a few times but usually for routin visits for the dog and cat.  I am also most happy about the charges for the surgery.   I thought it was very fair. Thank you for everything! Read Less

I brought my dog here to get her teeth cleaned and worked on at the recommendation of my dad who takes his dog. The staff is so helpful and patient and my dog was well cared for. They answered my questions and when I picked her up she was in great shape....thank you so much for making me feel good about leaving her in your care. Read Less

We really like going here. My lab Fenway always gets fawned over by the staff despite her high-energy craziness that comes with being a puppy! Their waiting area is fairly small but you can always hang out in the yard out front if that makes your pup or kitty too nervous when other pets are in the room.Her spaying went well with no issues and reasonably priced ~ $150 including some medications.I prefer Dr. Kathy the most, I find her the most warm and welcoming and the staff as well.I've had my pup in for a couple different infections, both times which were properly explained to me and the medications were given to me right on site. I even had to call Dr. Kathy's cell phone one morning early because Fenway had gotten into the ibuprofen (very bad!) and she instructed me how to induce vomiting and make sure it got out of Fenway's system.

Been going here about 5 years now. Dr. Kathy and Bill do a great job of taking care of our cats, appointments are easy to get and the staff helpful. Way less expensive than Banfield and far less corporate Read Less

This is by far my favorite vet in Columbus.  Even after I moved away from Westerville I kept going to Oak Creek.The staff is very knowledgeable and welcoming, and the doctors are great resources.  I was a first time owner of a house cat and we were having some problems adjusting to each other so I mentioned this to the vets and they offered great advice on house breaking my cat.  They were patient and kind in their explanations, and I never felt rushed.This is a busy place, so one bit of advice: tears are not uncommon in the waiting room.  Each time I was there something horribly sad happened: someone had his dog euthanized; a family came in with a towel wrapped around a heartbreakingly still puppy that had just been hit by a car; a lady with shiny eyes petting her cat while trying to cope with the bad news she just received.  The doctors and staff were extremely understanding and tried to help in each case, even offering the examination rooms as a place to mourn privately.  That said, if you're sensitive to these situations or if you have children that are, it's probably best to avoid the waiting room as much as possible.
