I have been taking my animals to Dr Don since he opened his office. When I had to put several of my pets to sleep because of sickness or old age who are just like children to me, he is the most compassionate, caring, Dr. that has been through this with me. They grieve with you, and it is so peaceful. I would not trust anyone else but Dr. Don and his staff to go through one of the most difficult decisions that you have to make. I’m forever thankful for this practice, and all the amazing people at Best Care Animal Hospital. Read Less

It is hard when your pet is hurting and you have to find someone to care for them you have not been to before. These people were welcoming and kind. They engaged my whole family and understood the financial issues we would face with the kitty. He was quick and knew right what was wrong with her. He did not make us leave the kitty over night but cleaned and drained the abscess, gave her medication there and to go and all for under 300. He was our saviour. I would go back in a instance.

Everyone is very kind understanding. I love the fact they take the time to stop and talk to you and are always happy to see you and your fur baby. Dr Martin is very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us with our Elsa. Read Less

Dr. Scarpinatto is the best! He is very caring and willing to go the extra mile to help you and your pet. I drive from Clackamas to Beaverton with my 3 cats just to see him, I can't get myself to go anywhere else. It's called "best care" for a reason! Defenetly recommend Read Less

I was referred here by another vet who wasn't accepting new patients.  My dog had lymphoma and we ended up having to put him down suddenly.  Even though we had never been here before, we had a really great experience with the staff.  It was of course an AWFUL day and everyone there was so kind and patient with us.  They explained everything in detail and let us have as much time as we wanted with our beloved Tonka.  As painful as it was, it was comforting to be in a place where they showed us all so much compassion.  We also got a sympathy card in the mail signed by the entire staff.  Thank you guys for being so wonderful.

I love this place, they'll give you their honest opinions with out breaking your bank. Not to mention I was out of medication when they were technically closed but they still answered me and opened their doors so I could get my pet the care she needed. If you want literally the best care for your pet without feeling totally money abused this is the best clinic to go to. Read Less

I have had cats and dogs for 40 yrs so I have seen a variety of Veterinarians - Dr Don is hands down the best. Always caring, really listens, explains in simple ways and extremely skilled. Then add, a very fair fee.Read Less

I have had cats and dogs for 40 yrs so I have seen a variety of Veterinarians - Dr Don is hands down the best. Always caring, really listens, explains in simple ways and extremely skilled. Then add, a very fair fee. I happened to be in one of the treatment rooms with Luke, my cat and Dr Don had to leave to handle an irate client up front. She had a chip on her shoulder and just seemed mad a life. Sound travels well at his office so it was fairly easy to hear what was going on - through it all, Dr Don was again educational, polite and caring. Tough to do in those situations - a skilled and consulate professional. Read Less

A lot of people seem to like this place but for me and my family it's neutral. They do a great job caring for our pets and have some of the best treatments for them but Dr. Scarpinatto and one other person there made my mom and I feel uncomfortable. They don't seem to be a people type of person and I can understand that but it's just a couple times when we saw them for our dog that I wish things could of gone better. Besides them, everyone else there is pretty nice. Read Less

I found this place on yelp, and was a little concerned, given the reviews, but after OHS recommended it, we gave in. We took our little Harley in here for a check up and rabies shot. We just adopted him a week ago from the Humane Society, and need to get him set up in Washington County.Dr Don was amazing, and I was so glad. After reading some of the previous reviews, I was hesitant, but it was totally unwarranted. Harley was terrified, but Dr Don was able to help him, ease some of his anxiety and really understand where little Harley was coming from. We got some heart worm medication, which I hadn't even thought about, and Dr Don took his time and explained the difference in dog food and which are better than others. He even gave us a couple samples of some that he sells to see if Harley even likes them.Overall, I'm so happy to have found this place, and its within walking distance to our home. Great vet and great experience. Read Less

Dr. Scarpinatto and team are the VERY BEST!!!  We have been going to Dr. "S" or Doc for several years but recently we had a very close call with our black Lab, Chase, the love of our life.  Doc and the team saved him after a very intense two weeks.....even over the 4th of July, they came in so Chase could be in the hospital during the day and then come home at night.  They never gave up and were just so wonderful.  Chase has seen Doc for many years, but this last go round was so incredibly unbelievable and I just can't thank them enough.  We were lucky enough to find him when Chase was only about 1 year old.  He had been going to another "reputable" vet and had something wrong with his side, well after three visits (two in the same day and they charged me TWICE for each visit, literally hours apart) they told me it was just a bump and that he should be fine........my Cats doctor mentioned Dr. Scarpinatto and suggested I take Chase there......thank goodness he did.  Doc looked at Chase, said I know what it is, it is a grass seed/awn  that had burrowed into him, almost to his lung.  Doc did surgery, pulled it out and Chase was fine.  I still have the seed.  As Chase is a very ACTIVE hunting, fishing and playful dog, he has gotten in to many "incidents" and I thank God for Dr. S and the team who have taken care of him and helped us nurse him through.If you have questions, problems, or are stymied by your pets health, do yourself and your pets a favor and go to Best Care Animal Hospital.M BohnaHillsboro, OR Read Less

I just spoke to Dr. Scarpinatto. I've been taking all of my kitties I've had to him for years. He is THE best vet that I've ever had. He is so caring, personable, is concerned and really listens to all issues with the kitty. Right now, my kitty, Trixie, is in big trouble with all of her illnesses she has, but I feel extremely confident with the detailed instructions he just gave me, that we can help her. I can't thank him enough for all he's done for her. Dr. Scarpinatto, you are the best....and I also thank your wonderful staff for being just as caring as you are. Thank you!! Read Less

The vet techs were kind and fit me in first thing in the morning without an appointment when my cat had some GI issues, but I left mid-appointment because the veterinarian was speaking rudely to the front desk staff, and I heard him practically yelling at someone on the phone saying, "if you had done what I asked, we wouldn't be having this conversation." It was unprofessional, and I felt very uncomfortable. It is one thing to have those conversations in private, but another to speak so sternly and loudly to staff that customers can hear it from exam rooms. Unfortunate experience.Read Less

Dr. Don and his staff are WONDERFUL for my two pets (a dog and a cat).  We we're referred to him when another vet on NW Cornell, one we had been seeing for a few years, near Costco (Space, the final....) tried to tell us our cat would be fine If we just spent $3000 to have some teeth pulled (one of the new vets  had just completed this part of her schooling and was eager to try it out...).  We couldn't afford this and were suspicious as well, so got a second opinion.Dr. Don heard our story, thought it was utter b.s. and said he knew what it was, but would run tests to be sure.  Unfortunately, he was right...kitty had feline leukemia.  She would need constant, regimented care and it wouldn't improve her quality of life at all.  We made the difficult decision, and it WASN'T $3000 for teeth!Nearly all of these reviews are right on. Dr Don isn't much of a people person, but I don't fault him for that because he MORE THAN MAKES UP for it as a Vet in how he cares for the animals in his charge.  He is passionate about how animals are treated and the corporate b.s. involved in pet care (good, health, etc.).He does try to get you to buy some of his stuff, but if you can't afford to, he'll come up with alternatives and still cut you a break...never to just pedal stuff but to care for your pet. One example is he will let you buy 3 flea pills at a time instead of a box full if you happen to be on a tight budget.  In the beginning for me, he let me make payments on part of my account.You may not like his personality with the two legged people, but his commitment to the four legged ones is undeniable and uncompromised.  The cats that roam around his office like they own the place (don't all cats?) are great ambassadors.  Go see Dr. Don.  You'll be happy (so will Fido) you did!

havent even see the vet yet but so far not impressed , I was referred to them by another vet and since I was a referred patient they won't honor the Free Exam Certificate they have on their web site .Not cool ! I guess I won't be a reoccuring patient then. Read Less

I have been going to Dr Don Scarpinatto for over 14 years now. I found him when I was searching for a vet to keep my highly allergic rat terrier going. Dr Don was the most knowledgeable of all the vets I talked to. I also do rescue and have brought Don every dog I take in. Over a hundred, I think. He has saved dogs that I thought too badly hurt or ill to survive. Don is a superb vet. He isn't much of a people person but he sure understands animals. He also understands those strange virus's dogs get in the south. I take in dogs from all over and have been impressed with Dons experience. Don has treated all of my personal pets. He is the best. If you want an experienced vet with common sense who relates to the animals, Don's your guy. And all those office cats? They are rescues. Read Less

We brought our dog Bella to Dr. Scarpinatto last week. She was basically close to death. After doing blood work we found out Bella had pancreatitis. This Dr. did everything in his power to get Bella well. He called us every day to check on her and even gave us his home phone number to call him over the weekend with reports and concerns on out dog. We are forever grateful and confident he's the reason our dog is still with us! He's absolutely wonderful and knows what he's doing. Thanks Dr. Scarpinatto! Read Less

Most of the reviews here were good, so, we decided to give this place a try. 1) Vet is more interested in selling the products that he carries. Kept telling me that the food we give our dog is not good and the ones that he carries are better. They are twice the cost of what we feed our dog... and we don't feed our dog cheap food either.2) Paid $160 for a blood test and was told I would get a call back with the results. I had to call them back 2 weeks later since I had not heard from them.We will be looking for a new vet... Read Less

Don the Veterinarian was very informative and helpful. His front office gal seemed very into pets, not so into noisy kids in the lobby (mine lol). He seemed to really know his stuff and prices were reasonable. Only disappointment is that I went to another review site which Best Care suggest and saw that new clients can receive a free exam for the first visit which I didn't get to take advantage of (was on $43 though and worth it).

Dr. Scarpinatto is nothing short of a gift from god. He and his staff are some of the most compassionate and helpful people we've encountered. We thought all was lost with our poor cat Khorne who just couldn't seem to catch a break. Because of his work with Khorne, he is now enjoying a happy life off of handicap equipment, with plenty of playtime and rolling around on the floor.Read Less

Prior finding Dr. Scarpinatto we were extremely frustrated with a veterinary hospital in the area. After a couple of months, several expensive bills and lousy follow ups our puppy continued having the same issues. We were lucky and happy to find him, who quickly diagnosed and treated our puppy's problems. We remained with him ever since. He is straight forward, knows his business and doesn't over charge you. He doesn't mind taking the time to explain anything you need to know. We love him and his staff and we'll recommend him to everybody. Read Less

Dr Scarpinatto addressed the issue my dog had with multiple solutions to utilize over time. His initial treatment regimen and follow-up care were highly effective. His alternate choice remedies for future occurrences/prevention were very economical/effective.I absolutely recommend Dr Scarpinatto and Best Care Animal Hospital for quick, effective, economical, and friendly treatment for your pet.

Brought our new rescue pup here because he was having a few issues. The vet took care of our concerns and helped out finding a food that the picky pup would eat by giving us a lot of free samples. The whole staff was friendly and caring. They calmed us down with things we thought were major concerns that were just minor things resulting from his surgery and his move to a new place. I will gladly be taking our pup and our cat to these people. They really care for the animals. Read Less

Last week, we brought our little rescue kitty to Dr. Scarpinatto in Beaverton, Oregon. He is a most well-informed and confident voice in the veterinary profession. Dr. S spent a full hour discussing the panel results of our old, hobbilywobbily, unwanted and abandoned cat. He offered practical insights how to best move forward. After a very abused life, I felt tremendous relief that our "Raffi" had access to humane and well considered medical attention. While sitting in the waiting room, I struck up a conversation with another dog owner who travels well over a half hour specifically seeking Dr. Scarpinatto's care. She has seen him for years and has taken all of her pets to him for advice. We talked about the high level of care in this clinic that made it so worth the effort to drive the extra miles. Especially with senior, geriatric animalsDr. Scarpinatto excels. Dr. Scarpinatto serves his profession with dignity and intelligence.

Let's begin with their emphasis on me being on time to make my appointment. Upon arriving early, I was rewarded with a half hour wait before they would even look at my dog.Sure, they offer a complimentary initial exam, but that's only to allow them to over charge you on a myriad of additional services, medications and their own in-house products. They must hate giving out that complimentary exam because once they saw I was in for that, they pushed every possible thing they could on me and charged me for every little step including reading the instructions on how to apply the medicine. I asked them to explain the bill and even the vet wasn't sure what he was charging me for. Just a bunch of scribbles.Furthermore, the vet treated us with extreme condescension. Unless you are an animal expert and have worked with animals for decades you don't know anything and are a horrible pet owner. The staff there were no help either. They just sat around and I was forced to assist the vet with his procedures. I didn't realize I was paying them to do the work for them.The vet didn't even seem to like animals. It seemed like he was just trying to get us out the door as quickly as possible while taking as much money from us as possible. Poor facilities, poor service, poor staff, poor doctor. Poor Care Animal Hospital. Read Less

Thank you so much for the time, knowledge, and care in helping get my sick kitty back to heath.  I went to a Banfield 4 days prior because it was a holiday.  A friend recommended I try Best Care and Dr. Don.  This was the best advice I could have been given.  Not only is Dr Don & his vet tech's awesome, knowledgeable, and kind, they are reasonably priced.    Dr. Don & his techs took time with me.  He was going to spend as much time as Boss needed, and made sure to answer all of my questions.  This will be my always vet for all 3 of my kitties.  Thank you.Violet, Bryan & Boss.

Would recommend. Our small dog couldn't get in to see regular vet so they referred us here for same day evaluation after she was bit by a squirrel she caught. Veterinarian, staff was nice. Much less traumatic and less expensive than taking to an emergency hospital downtown. It looks like they have longer hours than normal pet clinic so more availability. IMO, I don't think he is trying to pad the bill as other commenters stated, but is more detail-oriented in care and explanation than our regular vet, I would guess just personality and comfort level. There were some unexpected things done once he got in there that I was not charged for. I prefer my regular vet but would be comfortable recommending this clinic or returning for an unexpected visit. The particular day I was in I only saw smaller dogs and cats, but that may not be all they see. Read Less

I have taken my small dog to Best Care Animal Hospital for over seven years. She has had several unusual health problems because of her extra tiny size. Dr. Scarpinato has been really very clever at solving problems I did not think could be helped. Now after seven years of medications, my little dog is near the end of her life. He is using such care with her, really patient in exams, and using wisdom and insight as well as technical expertise in prescribing new medications. He also collaborates with our excellent canine cardiologist at Cardiology North west and both doctors help me manage the expense by using low tech diagnostics like a stethascope when appropriate, though I have also used x-rays and an ultrasound. He is not pressuring me and is very supportive of my wish to let her keep living as long as she can enjoy her life. I so appreciate his willingness to solve problems. He had a little cat scratch device in the lobby and let me take it home to borrow because it just fit my tiny dog as a seat and she can sit in it to catch her breath better. He gave me his cell number in case we had an emergency at night. I am so grateful for his kindness and intelligent care. Any cat people would be well served there also as they are really doing a service of helping cats in particular. Read Less

I have used this clinic for the last year and have to say I love Best Car Animal Hospital. I love the doctor and love the staff. I have a small mix bread dog and my dog was not doing well after our move in January 2012. I did not know how close to death my dog was due to an infected anal gland. I called the hospital and advised them what the symptons were and was advised to bring my dog in straight away. The doctor saw him right away. Unfortunately, my dog had to have a minor surgery but had it not been for the quick thinking doctor and staff I could have lost my best pal. The doctor advised me that if I had waited any longer the infection could have broke into the internal organs and my dog would have been a gonner. My dog Ted E. Bear was put on meds and the doctor gave me his number in case there were complications over the weekend. (The surgery was on a late Friday afternoon) I am greatful to the doctor and appreciate the responsiveness of him and the staff. I did end up having to call the doctor over the weekend after my dogs surgery but the doctor reassured me on the care directions. My dog made a full recovery. Thank you for giving great care and taking care of my Ted E. Bear! Read Less

I recently adopted a blind kitten who loves to climb. She was wrestling with my other cat up on a shelf unit when she fell. She then wouldn't use one of her back legs and I was in a panic. I called Best Care and even though the vet (Dr. Scarpinatto) wasn't scheduled to see patients that day, he said to come right in. When we got there he gave the kitten a careful exam from nose to tail and after examining her back leg and moving them in a precise manner he was able to determine that nothing was broken and it was just a sprain. She also had a fever, probably due to the stress. The Dr. gave her pain meds and an antibiotic to fight against infection from a small cut in her ear which I hadn't even noticed. When I asked about X-rays he told me they weren't necessary in this case and he didn't want to add any unnecessary expenses. He asked me to phone him the next day and tell him how she was doing. The next day she was much better but still a little limping, but by the 2nd day she was back to her old self, thanks to Dr. Scarpinatto. When I first moved here I went to many vets to find a truly caring one and I'm so glad I found Dr. Scarpinatto. And each of his staff members are just as kind and caring as he. His prices are extremely reasonable and I know I can trust him with my pets lives. I can't recommend him highly enough! Read Less

I had a problem with my dog and called Best Care Animal Hospital and spoke to Dr. Scarpinatto and told him the trouble I was having with my loving pet, He told me to bring her in immediately. I did and it was determined that my dog had to be put down. That was hard enough but what was unexpected was the professionalism and compassion and caring I got from the staff. They helped a truly horrible time and showed true compassion and Professional help. I had my pet cremated and 2 day's later she was ready to pick-up and they made a plaster cast of her foot with her name engraved on it, totally unexpected. I went back a few days ago to take my mothers cat's for she was ill and I got to speak to Dr. Scarpinatto about how he helped me and I thanked him. He explained that it hurts him to put a pet down also. That's true compassion. Thank You William Meligan Read Less

My dog needed a quick appointment and unfortunately my regular vet wasn't available for 4 days so they recommended this facility. The only thing they are efficient at is setting appointments because the schedule is wide open. The vet and staff were intimidated by my 140 lbs Great Dane, basically said they couldn't handle him to provide treatment. Maybe that is because the exam room is the size of a toilet stall...The vet then proceeded to lecture me on the Dog Whisperer and training my dog to be submissive in all situations. Maybe if he had been paying attention to Caesar he would realize that dogs can sense when you are nervous or anxious around them. PLEASE don't take your animals here at least not any over 20 lbs.

This guy will nickel and dime you to death, calling you back for numerous, unnecessary, expensive follow-ups. And he never shuts up - on and on and on about his views on politics and religion while you're anxiously waiting to be released so you can go to work. Whether I agree with him or not is moot, I just want him to shut up and take care of my dog in a professional way. I've gone to him for years and liked him in the beginning, but he's gotten much worse. I'll be finding a new vet and not recommending him anymore. Others I know who go to him are saying the same thing. Read Less
