I have a psycho cat, Evander, who I took in off the street 5 years ago and who doesn't let anyone handle him. He also does not allow anyone to brush him and had developed pretty bad matting on his back that I could tell was starting to hurt him. Dr. Ravi agreed to come to my house to sedate him and shave the matting off. I was so nervous and worried that he wouldn't be able to handle my cat or that my cat would freak out. But he was amazing. Quick and efficient with minimal stress to my cat. Not only did I get his matting taken care of but we also got his shots up to date! And the price was surprisingly low ($275 for house call, dematting, rabies shot, distemper, deworming med, nail clipping). I seriously couldn't be happier with my experience with this vet. I definitely recommend house calls from Dr. Ravi for anyone with difficult or easily stressed animals. I'm so glad I found Dr. Ravi. Read Less

This review is long overdue as I don't typically review, but our Shih Tzu, Eva brings us such joy every day, I wanted to give a huge 5 stars to Dr. Ravi for saving her life on New Years Eve/Day. Eva started acting sickly over Christmas, of course the worst time of year to deal with holiday hours at the vet and a busy family schedule. We took Eva to Dr. Ravi after a day or so of rest and a change of diet to see if it would resolve on its own, but no luck. He did some blood work; he had suspicions that it could be Pyometra but not positive. We took Eva home and the next-day blood results were not good. She was failing quickly :( but it was New Years Eve and Dr. Ravi was out of town and the office was closed. Dr. Ravi felt that she was in fact suffering from Pyometra and said she would probably not make it much longer without surgery, and even had doubts that she would make it through the surgery. He called us early evening on New Years Eve and offered to drive back from a trip visiting family to operate on Eva. He was assisted by his lovely college-aged daughter (his regular staff was not available as the office was closed on the holiday)performed an emergency surgery at 8:00 pm on New Years eve! It was so scary :( As Compassion Vet is not an animal hospital offering overnight care, he sent Eva home with us to be monitored. His fee was reasonable and I opened a Carecredit account, which was great. She made a miraculous and complete recovery! Post-surgery, she is so playful and happy, she is like a new dog! Dr. Ravi went above and beyond to help us and we will be forever grateful. Thank you for your compassion Dr. Ravi! Read Less

I have been taking my pet dog to Dr Ravi ever since we adopted him from SPCA in 2007. Dr. Ravi is very kind and passionate towards pets and I am very happy with his recommendations and annual checkups. Read Less

I wouldn't even mind that they charged me a LOT of money, because honestly all veterinary clinics do.. What I hate is that mr. Muranka treated my dog as sack of money. Actually, he treated me the same. I had to ask plenty of questions because vet didnt put it in clear way and he looked that I was bothering him by wanting to know more. If you really need to spend your money, spend it on different place - where they will treat you with respect and compassion . It's irony that they are using this word in their clinic name. Never more ! Read Less

First I took my rabbit there to get spayed and had no issues with the place. Beforehand I asked if I should get my other rabbit spayed also, who is 7 years old, and he told me I definitely shouldn't because she's too old and it would be very risky. A few months later I made an appointment for my parrot for an annual check up and the vet barely did anything. He weighed her, cut her nails and said that she was great. Next I took my older rabbit there because she had a growth on her stomach. The vet said it was only attached to the skin but it should be removed. After that he also told me I should get her spayed...after telling me a few months ago it would be way too risky. This really made us question if he cared about the animals or if he really just cared about making money. We also brought my dog in along with my rabbit because he kept getting really bad hotspots that caused him a lot of pain. The vet shaved the area of the hot spot, totally overdid the shaving and charged about $40 just for that when I could have gone home and just done it myself. He gave us a medicine to give my dog for the hot spots and heartworm medication which was all super expensive but we were desperate to get my dog feeling better. We noticed after giving him the medication that he was getting much worse. He didn't eat for days, barely drank water, or slept. We looked up the medication the vet gave us and it said there have been many deaths in dogs from this medication and listed the same side effects he was having. The vet prescribed way too high of a dose. We were furious. We then took him to the Harleysville Veterinary Clinic who helped our dog feel better right away and charged us, not even close to the ridiculous amount that Compassion Vet did. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET THERE. They will rob you while making your pet feel worse.Read Less

We have been going to Dr. Ravi for two years. My cat will not let me groom him and has to be put under to get shaved. The process is very difficult. While he is an angel at home, my cat is not very fond of the vet or getting blood taken. Dr. Ravi and his staff have been so pleasant and positive for every visit. I feel like my cat is always in good hands. Dr. Ravi always makes sure my cat is at his healthiest before putting him under so there is very low risk of something going wrong. They even call the next day to make sure he is doing fine! Would recommend this vet to anyone in the area. Read Less

This doctor is amazing. My cat Nalin has been cured by him many times. They really care about their clients at this place. Our cat had an infection and the doctor knew right away what the issue was and cured him. Amazing. Read Less

Doctor and the staff are excellent. He has taken care of our little fur baby Marley for the last few months. He has seen him through a very difficult bladder surgery. I am sure if I had taken him somewhere else. Marley would not be with us today. His staff is kind and good with animals He is truly the compassionate vet. He works very hard and has always been there when we needed him. Read Less

I cannot recommend Dr. Ravi enough for his caring, professional and expert knowledge and skills in everything animal related. Over the years we have owned 3 dogs and 10 cats. We have trusted Dr. Ravi with their care from everything ranging from routine checkups to complicated surgeries. We have never once been disappointed and to the contrary he has more than once saved our animals lives. I recently moved to New York and still make the trip down to Dr. Ravi in Pennsylvania for all of my vetting needs. He is the best. Read Less

Dr. Ravi Murarka inherited a complex case with Panther, a sweet rescue cat who has multiple medical issues. He and his staff provide excellent care. He is kind/gentle with Panther and always takes the necessary time despite what the clock indicates. He is not only technically proficient, but administers care from the heart. He has even called me on his own just to see how Panther is doing!I ask many questions and he and his staff are patient with me as they know I am just concerned for Panther's welfare. There is no difficulty obtaining an appointment as the office is open 6 days per week and they are also available for emergency care. I am very pleased with Compassionate Vet Clinic and feel fortunate that Dr. Ravi Murarka is Panther's vet.Read Less

Our dog got bit by a spider right above her eye in the evening and by morning half her head was severely swollen with her one eye closed shut. Compassion Vet Clinic was willing to take us in right away to address the problem. Dr. Murarka explained all the procedures and options for treatment thoroughly and willingly answered our questions. Our dog is back to normal now and I'm thankful we got the help we needed! Read Less

This vet is a predator. I took ny injured dog there paid the vet 700$. He calls me when my dog is under and says he needs another 130$. Then when i come for my follow up visit more money. He is a terrible person with no empathy and pets are only a pay day. Read Less

Best, most caring vet I have known. The other reviews echo my experience. I called Dr. Murarka 9:30 at night when my poodle became terribly sick. Dr. Murarka met me at the office and helped us start my dog on medications. The doctor was dead tired and on his way home from U Penn, but didn't complain or charge extra. Compassion clinic is appropriately named. They are the best! You should see my poodle now. She's full of energy at age 10 and acting like a puppy! Update: at age 13 she's still very energetic and doing great!Read Less
