Vista Pet Hospital

You can't make my experience any better because you have always been at the highest level of customer service, compassion and price. When I hear other people's horror stories with vets, I am excited to tell them about you. I feel very fortunate that I was referred to you approximately 30 years ago. Thank you again!! Read Less

VISTA PET HOSPITAL WAS A FRIENDS RECOMMENDATION WHEN I RESCUED A SENIOR DOG RECENTLY. I TOOK HER TO GET CHECKED OUT. THE STAFF WERE MOST CARING, PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETENT. THERE WERE SERIOUS ISSUES UNCOVERED TO BE ADDRESSED. THE QUOTE ON THE SERVICES REQUIRED WAS SO REASONABLE, TEARS CAME TO MY EYES. I AM BLESSED TO PARTNER WITH THEM ON MY COMPANIONS HEALTH AND CARE.

Take your pet to them! They are kind, understanding and honest. No unnecessary testing, just straight forward good, affordable veterinary care. I've recommended numerous people to them who have all had the same experience. I love this place! Read Less

I was referred to this pet hospital by a friend after being thoroughly disappointed with Hart Road Vet Hospital. I felt immediately at ease with the way we were treated and my dog was accurately diagnosed and treatment dispensed in a conservative and cost effective manner. I will continue using their services even though it is not as conveniently located for me, it is worth it. My dog deserves the best and that's what she's gonna get! Read Less

I travel from the other side of town....to have the best in care for my pets. Such a heartfelt and loving Pet hospital that truly care about the well being of your beloved pet, providing the utmost care at very reasonable cost. Thank you Dr Davis and team for your incredible services... Well done! Ps: I love your new beautiful space. congratulations. Read Less

I have been taking my pets (4 in all) to Vista Pet Hospital for approximately 13 yrs.I have been happy with the care they all have been given over the years. Pearl's recent exam, stay and blood tests were good. She had outstanding care. Read Less

We got our lab mix Duke neutered at Vista recently and had a great experience. The rescue organization we adopted our dog from referred us to Vista. The check in process went fairly quickly , and the vet tech that checked us in reassured me and answered all of my questions ( as I was very nervous for our new dog going under !). A week after surgery , I wanted to make sure the incision was healing properly , and stopped in to show them a picture . The front desk woman was very nice and showed the vet the picture , and they said everything looked great . I would recommend Vista , and believe they took great care of our sweet Duke . Read Less

We are new to PDX and Vista Pet Hospital was recommended to us by our pet sitter. Our experience could not have been easier or more pleasant. Scheduling was simple and prompt, reception staff pleasant and Dr. Davis was so friendly and welcoming to my 12-year old standard poodle that the dog followed him without a backwards look at me--I had to scramble to follow them into the examination room! Billing and wrap-up also quick and easy. Read Less

We have been grateful for the excellent care of our mini schnauzers for 13 years! So glad to see the growth of the clinic and new location. The staff and veterinarians are thorough and encouraging in the care of our pets. We appreciate them. ;-) Read Less

Vista pet hospital is the best place I have ever used for my pets care! I love this place. I feel they care about your pet and will work with you at anytime. I sent them a email on a Saturday night told them what was going on they got me in the office the next Monday to help Bear... I would recommend everyone to join the team of Vista Pet Clinic. Read Less

I have always felt as if my cats were very well cared for here. I always feel like I've learned something on each visit and every one is always polite. I appreciate the care my pets have received. My pets are all healthy. Read Less

Beyond the exceptional care Dr Marr has given all of my animals for well over 5 years (at other clinics, and now her own), she has now also saved our Blue Heeler’s life. When we brought Aziz in, her little light was going out, and Dr Marr did not hesitate one minute. A week and a half later and you’d never guess Aziz has surgery and is still in recovery (much to her chagrin, she looovvveees to play). Her light is shining brighter than ever!!! Thank you Dr Marr and staff. There really are no words to express our gratitude. Read Less

Thank you Vista for offering low cost spay/ neuters for rescued animals. Northwest Animal Companions Rescue APPRECIATES your dedication to helping with spaying and neutering, which is SO IMPORTANT! Thank you to your staff and to your doctors for great quality service and the compassion you offer to all animals you see. Read Less

Vista Pet Hospital is FANTASTIC. They are exactly what quality healthcare SHOULD be. (For both pets and humans). They don't waste your money on a super fancy office, but they truly love and care about you and your animals. They are all so kind and friendly and loving. They always go above and beyond in their visits, and charge only for the essentials. Other clinics we've been to in town try and add on things all the time. NEVER at Vista Pet! We moved to Mt Scott in SE, and still make the trek across town, because we love them so much. Thanks for taking such great care of Libby and Ruckus! Read Less

I took my cat to Vista a few years ago for some dental work, he needed a few teeth pulled. When I picked him up, he looked traumatized and there was blood dripping out of his mouth. The wound never fully healed and he was in pain for a long time. I called Vista to ask what to do and they didn't really offer anything helpful. Hope that they employ more qualified people in the future. Won't be taking my pets back here again. Read Less

The staff is wonderful and the vets are caring and friendly. Tiny waiting room is the only issue for my anxious pup, but we are able to wait outside or in an empty room. Affordable neighborhood vet and staple of West Slope. Read Less

Last summer my dog who was 6 months at the time was diagnosed with Parvo Virus. Despite being vaccinated at the prescribed times he caught some sort of super parvo. The staff at Vista Pet Hospital cared for him for a week and helped him fight the deadly Virus. They came in on days off to ensure my pup got his IV changed and to care for him. They did all of this while helping me contact the vaccine manufacturer to help with cost of treating my pup. I firmly believe without Vista Pet Hospital my dog would have died and I would have been left with a hefty bill to pay. I have since moved across the river but will not take my pets anywhere else. The people at Vista Pet Hospital are amazing. I'm very thankful for them and so is my pup! Read Less

I love Vista Pet Hospital! They are so honest and reasonable. I have been coming here for 3 years. They do not recommend services that are unnecessary.  The appointments are very quick and I never have to wait long with my babies. Highly recommend! Read Less

Excellent pet hospital. We took our Chocolate Lab, Cappi, in today for some minor surgery. Dr. Gallagher explained everything to us, and we have a new dog this afternoon. The doctor is terrific and the staff are so friendly. And the price for everything was much more reasonable than the pet clinic we've always gone to. This is the best place on the west side of Portland. Read Less

This clinic was so helpful when I had my moms dog for a few months. Her teeth were very infected and I was able to get them extracted very affordable. If I lived closer I would take my other dogs here too.Read Less

We've been coming here for six years. You are treated as family here. They remember you, are kind, I could go on and on. They are fair with pricing, treat you and your pet with care...the bottom line is that they have saved our boy Oliver time and again after his latest need for surgery and I'm so thankful for all they do for him and our other two dogs.Thank you, Vista Staff!

There are a lot of wonderful things to say about Vista Pet Hospital, and I especially liked the service provided by the front desk. However, I want to warn folks that if you have an older animal, you should take them somewhere that provides dental x-rays. We adopted an older stray cat and was told by Dr. Davis that x-rays were too costly to do and that he could tell if teeth needed removing by visual inspection. I also asked to have my cat's ears clean, which was an offered service. When I picked up my cat, the ears were still very dirty - frankly I could have done a better job myself with a q-tip and some mineral oil. It was very clear that no cleaning had been done. The cat's mouth still bothered her, so I googled dental specialists and for only $50 more in cost, I had her teeth cleaned by Forever Pet Dental in Vancouver. Visual inspection by their vet confirmed what the x-rays later proved, that the cat had 2 teeth being resorbed and they needed to be removed. The x-rays also revealed roots of several teeth that had already broken off. The cat came back to me this time with immaculately cleaned ears and also before/after photos of the teeth cleaning which showed clearly that Vista had done a very poor job the first time. I wrote a detailed letter of my experience to Dr. Davis, and he replied without any acknowledgment that they would improve their services. He did, however, refund my money for the teeth cleaning they did even though I hadn't asked him to. Sometimes, you get what you pay for. Read Less

I've been taking my pets here my entire life. Now that I'm an adult with pets of my own, Vista is the only place I'd take them. They are so kind and the animals really are their first priority. I always know my girl is in good hands! Read Less

NEVER take your pet here!! Too many times other vet hospitals have had to fix the mistakes that these people make. They are irresponsible, unethical, and dishonest with their clients about what is happening with their animals. Just recently they overdosed a cat and then sent it somewhere else without telling the owner. Before that, someone showed up with a dog that wasn't breathing two minutes before closing time, and they sent the person away. Needless to say, the dog died. This place is TRAGIC. Read Less

I took my dog to another vet when she had a tooth infection. They said she needed a tooth extraction. They said it would cost $800-$1000. A friend recommended me to vista. They said the same procedure would cost $200-$400 and ended costing me $250. They are such a sweet staff and care for your animals well. They are by far more affordable and reasonable than any other place I've been too. I will be definitely only be going to vista in the future. Read Less

Vista Pet is truly a godsend for pet owners. They make it possible to offer your pet all the quality care they deserve without making you go bankrupt. If your pet comes down with a sudden illness or injury, they are right there and will provide optimal treatment at minimal cost. I highly recommend them for all your pet's needs. All of the vets and vet assistants there are fantastic, kind, and truly care for your pets' wellbeing. I've been using them for the past 8 years, and my parents used them since I was a toddler for my childhood dogs. In the last 24 years of visits there and care to all my pets, I have not one single complaint about them, only praises and gratitude. Read Less

The very best in ALL of Oregon. They have saved our furbabies countless times. I am eternally grateful for their dedication to the health of our family members. The vets that Dr. Scott has brought on over the years are loyal and just as faithful to the mission as he is. Especially Dr. Megan Marr. Thank you!!!! Read Less

My cat is 11 years old and unfortunately brushing her teeth just wasn't a priority of hers. (And she wonders why she still can't find a cat-panion.) At her recent wellness visit her veterinarian at VCA told her she had two bad teeth and quoted the extractions between $850-$1000+! Yeah, even Callie's little mouth dropped to the floor.How can teeth extractions cost more for animals than humans? Impossible! I did some research, made a few calls, and Vista Pet Hospital won me over. The receptionist was very thorough in explaining the quote for just feline dental extractions, nothing else. You know what their quote was? $131-$331. Uh, yeah, we'll take the next available appointment, please. If I wanted to schedule a consult I could've but they said it wasn't necessary and since we just consulted with VCA I opted to schedule the surgery only.We dropped her off in the morning and picked her up before they closed at 5:30pm. She was very quiet until we got in the car. The over hour drive home was the least enjoyable thing about Vista Pet Hospital's location otherwise I was very satisfied with everything else. I'm happy to report Callie is doing phenomenal 24 hours post-op!Feline dentistry. $146.Pain Medication. $15.Happy and better smelling breath cat. Priceless. Read Less

So, so lucky to have found Vista Pet Hospital. This place is not fancy, so if you need that from your Vet it is not the place for you. It is however run by a group of loving, dedicated Vets and staff members. The pricing is incredible reasonable and they keep flexible hours.Read Less

Dr. Davis and Dr. Cook, are both amazing doctor's! I have 3 babies and they have been amazing with them. I wouldn't take my puppies anywhere else. So very delighted to be informed about this amazing pet hospital. Read Less

Did not have a good experience at Vista. I had just adopted a dog on 12/22, and we needed to have him neutered ASAP. I also let them know I had the neutering coupon from Humane Society Called and made an appointment, told them he had been coughing, had a lot of anxiety, and just needed to be looked at in general in addition to the neutering. When I got there, they just took him away. No examination with me and the doctor, no sit down to ask what was going on with him, nothing. It was like dropping my car off at the repair shop. They called me during his surgery to tell me his back claws were coming off, so they suggested removing them. I had no idea what this meant, but they just told me it'd be best for him in the long run, so I agreed. When I picked him up, they gave me a ton of information, but not much written detail for me to follow up with later. I had to keep calling to ask for clarification. A few days later, I noticed one of his back paws was swollen up twice it's size. They had wrapped the bandages on his back legs so tight that one paw wasn't getting any circulation. I had to take it off, ice it on and off for about an hour, and it eventually went back to normal. I went to a different vet, and they have heard similar reviews about Vista. I'm really disheartened by this, because there were so many good reviews about this place. Maybe this just happens when people use the neutering coupon? At any rate, really bad experience, and we will be taking our pup elsewhere. Read Less

We have been taking our four-legged family members (once even a hamster) to Dr. Davis since he purchased the practice over 30 years ago. He has been compassionate and caring throughout the care of our long-lived dogs, some with unusual health issues. All our friends we have recommended him to love the clinic as well. He gives back to the community through his volunteer work. Dr. Cook has been a wonderful addition to the clinic, she fits right in with his philosophy and approach.Read Less

Thank you, thank you for taking such good care of my foster doggie; you all are truly the best! You went way beyond the call of duty just doing his cherry eye surgeries with also a dental cleaning and deep ear cleaning and shaving mats---thank you! Read Less

My husband and I have a very old kitty and an adult golden retriever. I had taken my cat to a corporate vet for about 6 years, and the company prices for his increasing care was becoming too much for my modest income. I started taking my cat to Dr. Davis while I was still in my contract with the other guys, and he would do the same work (if it was necessary in the first place) for much, much cheaper. He is very practical with my cat and only does what is needed for my old kitty. We recently found a tumor in his nose, and Dr. Davis removed it quickly, efficiently, and cheaply! He bought us more time, and the other guys wanted 400% more money for the same surgery. I find the office staff helpful and prompt over the phone and in person, and I always get scheduled in a time frame reasonable to the need. I have also boarded my kitty there and have been very satisfied with the care, even on short notice. I will take my next cat to Dr. Davis and skip the corporate prices! Thank you, Dr. Davis!

Absolutely APHALLING work. Do NOT go here if you truly care for your pet. This Veterinarian does cheap, sloppy work. Our newly adopted dog will have been under general anesthesia three times for something that should have been done correctly on his first appointment. We adopted our dog from a rescue organization when we visited a local pet supply store. When we got him home, we discovered a mass in his side about the size of a golf ball. We have a regular Veterinarian that we see, but we called the rescue organization because they would cover the health costs up to a certain amount of time. They advised us to go to Vista Pet Clinic. To make things easier on the dog, we wanted the mass and the neutering done at the same time. We requested the following: ""Take out this mass and send it off to see what it is,"" figuring that it was the perfect time with the dog under general anesthesia anyway. When we picked him up, not only did we find he had not taken it out, he didn't even attempt to get a sample. He said he palpated it (felt it with his fingers) and told my husband, ""It's probably just a fatty mass. Don't worry about it."" My Husband was furious that his request was so completely ignored. Two months later the mass was an enlarged, inflamed abscess that obviously had to come out. We took him to our regular Veterinarian for immediate help and medication and to get a second opinion and an estimate on the surgery. Against our better judgment, we went back to Vista for the removal of the mass, because Vista's estimate was significantly cheaper. BIG MISTAKE. Our dog had the surgery and my husband brought him home. The next day, I looked at the wound, which is sizable, and saw there was a lot of swelling and no drainage tube. The ""Vet"" had FORGOTTEN to put in a drainage tube! This is a BASIC step, people! Not only that, but instead of using single sutures, he used one big, long thread and closed the wound with what looked like a whip-stitch. A SLOPPY whip stitch. This stitch is NON-STANDARD for this large of a wound. Because he forgot to put in a drainage tube, and so sloppily closed the wound, our options are now to: 1) Have the wound completely re-opened and re-stitched correctly with a tube in it, or 2) MANUALLY EXPRESS the wound three-four times a day through the hole he left with the sloppy closure. The first option requires a THIRD trip under general anesthesia, and the latter requires us to manually palpate and extremely sore area on our poor dog. God help us if the surgery on the inside is as sloppy as the rest of this work indicates. There are blood vessels in this area of the canine body that supply vital organs. We can only wait and see now. Read Less

I dropped off my beautiful girl to be spayed. She was an awesome puppy, 20 months old, ready to take her therapy dog test in a month. She bled to death after the surgery at the clinic. The Doctor left me a voicemail saying that she had died and how did I want them to deal with the body! I couldn't reach the clinic to find out what happened and spent 30 minutes in agony getting a busy signal. I picked up my beautiful girl's cold body and took her for a necropsy at another facility. I found she had bled to death because the artery suture came loose. In my opinion, I would take my animal to another clinic. I will never see my sweet dog again. I didn't make a big deal about saying goodbye because I read you are not supposed to. I am so sorry we ever came to this clinic. I still miss my dog so much. Read Less

My experiences with Dr. Davis and his staff have been almost completely positive. Sometimes it is hard to get in, but I think that is a testamant to the fact that he has great prices and is a great vet. I do think he is fairly down to earth and pragmatic. For example, I don't think he won't recommend a total hip replacement for an old dog with arthritis. If your dog is like a person to you, on whom you will spend your children's college fund, you might want to go elsewhere. But if you love your animal and live on a budget like most people, he will work with you to find reasonable ways to treat most ailments and conditions. Read Less

I adopted an adorable little puppy that was already scheduled to be spayed or would cost more money to adopt if I didn't keep the appointment that was already scheduled. Needing a rabies shot at approximately the same time. I called and got a price quote about 1 1/2 months before the appointment was due. I was told $17. When I dropped my puppy off for her appointment I was again told $17 for a rabies shot. I just got back from picking her up. When I got to the office to pick her up I was told it would be $20. I paid the money. I felt cheated by the rate hike so I complained. I was told the rates had changed 2 months prior and when I asked why I was quoted a lower price just yesterday they said it must have been a mistake. They still charged me the $20. I told them that I would pay the money but that they should make sure all their employees were aware of the rate change so others wouldn't be inconvenienced. At this point an irate Dr came out and yelled at me! I was told I could have the money back but I was not welcome to return to this office because his employees didn't need to be treated this way. I was dumbfounded. I refused to take the money. I don't care about $3 I care about being lied to and then to be yelled at... I am still almost in tears from anger at being treated so shabbily! No one deserves this kind of treatment! Read Less

A friend located what I thought would be a great deal on a dental with extractions for a rescued cat, an old guy with teeth so bad he was drooling wads of pus. The vet who neutered him said he needed lots of teeth pulled but the expense, for a rescued cat, to be put up for adoption, was like a weight on my shoulders to think about. The friend said Vista charged only $95. This did seem to good to be true, but I signed him up and took him. Afterwards, I began to doubt anything was done. He still drooled strings of brown that were blood streaked. A month later I took him to another vet who said he had some terrible teeth and they needed out. I tried to find out what teeth Vista pulled and was told ""the pointy ones"". Finally the receptionist said three incisors two molars. The records however given the vet who did the second surgery said five incisors, the little teeth up front, that usually fall out on their own when they go bad. I felt scammed. This time, he had four canines, all cracked, broken and decayed, pulled. This is visible to a novice's eye. He also had three other teeth pulled. This happened only two months after the Vista dental. I burned $121 that day at Vista. And put an old cat through needless useless trauma. Read Less

Brought my male cat in to get neutered. Just moved to Beaverton and this was my first time at this vet and thought the check-in was very vague. I was never introduced to the vet performing the surgery..I felt it was a little impersonal that I didn't even know the name of the guy who was cutting my cat open. I took my female cat to Companion Pet Clinic when I lived in Gresham and they were awesome, The vet met with me and gave a consultation before I left my little girl in her very qualified and professional hands. If I would have known that when I picked my cat up from Vista that he would come home smelling of urine and ""spray"" , I would have made the drive back to Gresham. If you want an impersonal vet and your beloved animal to stink to high heaven..Vista is for you! Read Less

We have been using Vista for years and have had multiple animals there for care and are always happy with their service. They never try to upsell you or make you feel guilty for services your pet does not need or you cannot afford. We recently had a pet diagnosed with prostate cancer and the staff was professional, compassionate and enable us to have closure. They also were very reasonable for the costs and sent a card of sympathy. This is a great place to take any pet. Thank you Dr Davis for all your help with all our animals-living and passed on. We appreciate your work! Read Less

My happy and healthy pup loves Dr. Scott Davis and he treats her like a best friend, too. She was spayed at his clinic recently for an amazingly low price compared to other vets. Just call a few and get comparative prices. There's an online Humane Society coupon that will get your dog spayed or neutered for a low price at Vista Pet Hospital; it cost only $60 for spaying, compared to upwards of $300 at other vets. Dr. Davis doesn't force blood tests on your pet (or budget), either. According to someone in the know, blood tests are not necessary - just moneymakers for vets. So, bring your furry friend to see Dr. Davis for affordable, attentive and honest veterinary care. My HIGHEST recommendation, wish there were more stars available. Read Less

I took my 2 k itties here to get spayed and to get their shots. I always hate having to take my ""babies"" to the vet and leaving them overnight is even harder. The staff here was so friendly and warm when I walked in. They took my kitties back right away, answered any questions that I had, and better yet... They incouraged me to call after their surgery to check up on them. I didn't ever feel like I was bothering them with my questions. Completely highly recommend! Read Less

We have depended on Dr. Scott Davis for our veterinary care since 1979. Dr. Davis and his staff have provided top quality, compassionate care, from our first Golden Retrievers, Chere and Sundae, through our current goldens, Parker and Daisy, and for our daughter's three-year-old cat, Hobbs. We have recommended Vista Pet Clinic to anyone looking for quality care. Read Less

I took my puppy here to get her fixed, I found this place on the human soceity coupon. I was so pleased with the staff there. When we brought our puppy back the Vet even remembered our puppies name! I recently called around to get qoutes for a office visit for our other dog that hates fireworks, every other place I called qouted us over $50.00 This place is soooo much less money, and so much more care. They have my life long business Read Less

Dr. Davis is a very personable, kind, and wonderful D.V.M. He truly cares about animals. This is reflected in his low prices and his participation in the Oregon Spay/ Neuter Fund Program. My dog loves him and he is also friendly to human types too :). My dog gives him four paws up and I give him two opposable thumbs up. Read Less
