Dr Linn and his staff are professional as well as compassionate.  This past week we had to euthanize our family pet of 12 years.  The office was so helpful and compassionate.  Dr Linn humanely put our dog to "sleep" prior to administering the euthanasia cocktail.  We stayed with our pet and wept as she left us.  I can't thank them enough for the care they gave our Roxi and us on this very emotional day.thank you Read Less

We have gone to RVH for our one "little girl" who lived until almost 18 and our now two "little girls" who are 2 and 4. For the most part all of the staff and all of the vets have been wonderful and I am so appreciative of that.Our last vet, when we put our first "little girl" down did not sedate her and just gave her "THE SHOT" and it went horribly.  She becan to convulse and my husband had his "heart ripped out" right there watching it.  When our next one had to go over the Rainbow Bridge, we called and made an appointment; we walked in, the room was ready with a purple pillow.  They gave her a little sedation. We talked to her and held her until it was time... and then the shot.  I closed my "baby's" eyes and we just stood there for as long as we needed to stay.  We thanked everyone and we left.  They sent us a sympathy card, they sent a puppy paw print and some hair... I stil have them on my mantle.  As a healthcare provider, I can say we are all different and our delivery is not always like you would like/want/need it to be.  But, I will say that for the most part all of us care, but have to become desensitized or otherwise we could not do our jobs.  Watching pain, suffering and death daily can take everything out of you.  Flat delivery can be that someone is just not feeling well, something on their mind, or their defense mechanism-but it doesn't mean they don't care.Lastly, we as providers, be it human or animals, are well educated and do our best to diagnose; it is not an exact since and that's why I say we are in "practice" all the time.  It doesn't mean that we aren't at the top of our game or that we are not good, it just means that you can find 10 clinicians and get 10 different approaches to the same condition/issues.We continue to go to RVH and Dr. Linn is "our" doctor.  I do wish that calls would be returned in less time than 24 hours, which I have sometimes experienced greater time than that, but if it's an emergency, don't wait- go to the emergency vet hospitals-with three of them fairly local.We love RVH and so do some of our friends for their "family" members!Judi Z Read Less

Dr Linn is an excellent vet. He and his staff were amazing through my last dog Pooty's  end of life care. When we adopted our next dog Indigo of course we went to Dr Linn. He has a real affection for animals and you can see that he loves them. When we visit he is always happy to see us. Indigo had a growth in her mouth which restricted her eating ability and Dr Linn gave us straight forward, realistic options and we opted for the surgery. He did an excellent job and Indigo is now a senior dog living a good life thanks to Dr Linn. We board our dogs here as well and have never had anything but exceptional service. I recommend Dr Linn highly. Read Less

Dr. Lynn absolutely love animals. We've had lively conversations about our pets antics over the 20 years he has been my cat's vet. We've laughed & cried over the poor souls whose time it was to go. He is compassionate & extremely knowledgable. Thank you for being there for us. Read Less

We've loved Richboro Veterinary Hospital for over 20 years. Great service, excellent care and Buster and Abbey never mind visiting. Recently we have enjoyed the grooming services there. Having a Bulldog it's always important to have a Vet who is extremely knowledgable with all of their special needs. Dr. Linn is an excellent Bulldog vet! Thank you to Dr. Linn and the entire staff for always taking such good care,Read Less

I have been bringing my fur babies to Richboro Veterinary Hospital for 25 years. I love all the caring staff; through the good and the bad. I trust and believe in Dr. Lin. He has always been my choice as doctor but if he isn't available every other doctor passes with flying colors. Read Less

Each and every individual, as well as dr Lin are caring compassionate and like family to us. They share our pain and our joys. They help us to find owners of pets we have found ( my boys always bringing something home). They truly are a giant part of our community and a treasured family friend Read Less

I agree with Lauren C. from Southampton, Pa who finds Dr. Linn very unsympathetic and really uncaring especially concerning animals he has been treating for a long time and with whom he should form a bond to take care of them to the best of his ability. I guess the oath he took when he became a vet is used at his discretion and according to his mood.I recently lost a beloved member of our family after almost 17 years. Dr. Linn had treated him from a puppy but never for anything serious just routine shots. He became sick last June with a mass in his bladder which was thought to be cancer. From prescribing a "liquid" med to be given to him for the rest of his life when a more dog friendly chicken chew was readily available to maybe calling me back with really no good information or advice should I call him. I should have gone to someone else right away.After 8 months my canine best friend took a turn for the worse. I called the office and told his receptionist that I needed to speak to Dr. Linn because he was much worse with bleeding and not eating therefore I couldn't administer the meds. It was importantto only give this cancer drug with food (I had to find that out by myself. Linn never told me how to give the medicine nor that a chicken chew was available.) I was put into his "voice mail". I left a message thinking that the receptionist would tell Dr. Linn I needed to talk with him. My heart sank as the morning went on--I will jump to the outcome--he didn't call me for 25 hours to the minute from when I called at 9:20am the day before.Luckily, my daughter put me in touch with her vet. She treated my dog with the upmost respect and kindness. I still cannot believe that when I did finally talk with Linn he had no excuse for not calling me back sooner other than to say he had other clients to see that whole day. Can you believe that--I am so sorry that I held onto the belief he would be caring and compassionate especially when the animal's life was coming to a close.Please do not give this vet any more chances to express his true nature when the chips are down! Your pet's health and possibly his life is in the balance Read Less

The newest Groomer at Richboro Vet is Melissa and I tried her for the 1st time on Monday, after Curly's annual visit with Dr. Linn. Let me share how great: Curly is a Portugese Water Dog-he turns 8 in February. It has taken me 7&1/2 years to have him looking FABULOUS immediately after a grooming. Although he's always beautiful in this Mom's eyes(!!). Kudos to Melissa and thank you, to John Linn, for always keeping my Curly boy healthy, as his GREAT Veterinarian. Hoping Melissa is there to stay-Curly&I highly recommend her professional Grooming services. Read Less

Dr. Lin is a truly amazing vet! we have been with him for over 10 years! He helped us get through a rough time when our beloved dog Blondie went though cancer treatments and later had to be put down. We also foster for wags rescue and when a puppy is ill he is there to help! thanks Dr.lin and staff!!! Read Less

I will no longer be bringing either of my dogs here. They are extremely over priced and also very quick to "guess" at diagnosis. I was told that my puppy most likely had parvo but that they wouldn't be able to confirm for a few days. I worried myself sick and found out he had nothing but a little puppy bug. Another time I brought my puppy in for a pretty nasty sounding cough and they said he was fine after a 173.00 visit bill. Later that night I took him to animal ER and found out he had a pretty bad case of kennel cough. How do you miss something like that? I called the following day and asked them the same thing in which they responded it can happen. Absolutely zero apology or any type of refund. I have heard from multiple people to take your animals else where. I for sure am finding a new vet. Read Less

we have two dogs and two cats and they've always been very friendly and good with the animals, and even when I lived in the city we would drive out here for the Vet, as most of the places in the city treat the animals pretty poorly.  I've always been happy with the service and care they give to our animals.

Like with humans and doctors, you don't really worry about the caliber of your vet until your dog gets really ill. Anyone can take my dog's temperature and put her on a scale---surgery is when we really get to see what these boys and gals learned in vet school. I took my dog into Richboro Vet because she had developed a giant---really friggin huge, man---skin tumor (that she kept biting, to boot). The friendly, down to earth vet explained my options. His conclusion? That I could learn to live with the ugly tumor (which my dog kept biting) or we could remove it for the value price of just US $350. On behalf of my pet, I opted for the surgery.  And didn't this fellow do a swell job! My dog was woozy for only a few hours after the surgery, and within days she was back to her old self again.My mom keeps hastling me about the ordeal; she thinks I should have "gotten a second opinion" before I sent my dog "under the knife." Whatever. I trust these guys; they seem like they love animals. My dog is happy. Read Less
