Vca Oso Creek Animal Hospital And Emergency Center

FURIOUS at this place. So overpriced and waits are long, but I use them frequently since we live nearby. My cat got attacked by another cat and I was told to come in on a weekend evening. I waited 2 hours before I finally just left. No updates. Just being ignored and acting bothered when I asked our status. Rude and no updates. Never going back. And thanks. No help for my kitty. 😡 Read Less

I am a vca member.... it is after hours and I am a single male nurse. I work the next 5 days and told them I recently took my dog in for the same thing that is going on now..... but just got way worse in the last 24 hours, he stopped eating and looks like he is going to die ( he is 4) I called twice asking if there is any way I can drop him off I can’t call in and explained the abrupt severity of the issue and Wanda told me no...... there are ten animals in front of me and I would have to go in and wait. I repeatedly asked if there was any way..... same answer and stated she is not telling me not to bring him in but I would have to wait and could not tell me how long I would be there. Hopefully this changes and hope my dog lives. Read Less

Unpleasant visit. Staff was unfriendly and very expensive. Quoted us for an estimated bill of $900-$1200 and the only way for treatment was to pay it in full immediately. Took him to our vet the next day and our vet charged us $38 to clean him up and give him a thoroughly check of his wounds. He didn’t need all the X-rays and medications they wanted us to pay for on top of extra fees. Staff seemed upset we couldn’t pay for everything they recommended. Luckily we dodged being robbed by this place. Sadly, the staff commented how they charge at least 3x more than a regular vet which made our decision of leaving easy. Read Less

We had to take our Hank in for an emergency due to some POS shooting him. they were professional and kept us updated with costs up front. They saved his life and there's no price on that. Thank you to the amazing staff there at the hospital Read Less

We weren’t able to make it in time to save our dog, after he was sent home twice from another vet clinic in town. But we rushed him there when he was critical and they did absolutely everything possible to save him, and were so understanding and actually CARED, they really made saying good-bye the best it could have been in that situation, and watching the Vet do everything in her power really mattered to us in his final moments. Will ONLY use them from now on. Read Less

EXCELLENT Dr’s & staff. Dr. Graham has never been wrong on diagnosis in 15 years!! All my animals have been treated here. Staff is very friendly and polite. Emergency treatment can’t be beat anywhere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to everyone!! Read Less

Absolutely horrendous service! I brought my dog in to the emergency room because I thought he was severely dehydrated and had something jammed in his throat after being at the park. I told the front desk and the assistant all the issues and that I was worried. They put me in an exam room right away, but I then had to wait for over an hour in the room for the doctor. Bonus, I was the only person in there at that time. It was unprofessional and shows how little they care about animals especially the ones brought into the ER where their owners are worried for their pet's life. Do not go to this animal hospital at all! Only go of it an emergency because it is the only animal ER open 24/7 in the city. Read Less

I have never been there. I'm broke. Money is really, really tight. My puppy started limping after he jumped from the porch. I think he probably dislocated something but he won't walk on his right rear leg. Any recommendations on what to do? Man... He's my little baby. I don't want his injury to heal wrong!.... :( Read Less

I brought my 16 year old baby to see Dr. Sherwood. He removed 5 tumors. Dr. Sherwood and his staff are an amazing team. They kept me updated on Sherri's progress. I would highly recommend Dr. Sherwood. Read Less

Went in yesterday for a consultation. Saw dr. Vaughn. He told us our beloved family pet was very ill, suspected a form of cancer, and gave us our options. We chose to euthanize. BEST BESIDE MANNER EVER. He handled this situation with honesty, integrity, and KINDNESS. FLAWLESS PROFESSIONALISM AND COMPASSION. Him and his staff won my total trust. One of the techs even made us a beautiful paw print in clay in remembrance. My son, fiancé, and myself were present for her euthanasia. He allowed us to react and grieve without feeling like we had to behave a certain way. He participated in this process with us and not as a cold bystander. he was professional while being warm. Thank you to everyone there last night. Robin deserved the best and i Thank God for placing us in your company's care. 3-6-17 6pm-8pmRead Less

Just had to make the extremely hard decision to put down our 14 year old pug. The doctors and staff where amazing and helped us through this very difficult process with extreme professionalism. Nothing but good things to say Read Less

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Graham. He is truly the most compassionate vet in Corpus Christi. He is always willing to answer my millions of questions and never makes me feel like our visit is rushed. Most vets will only examine the area of concern but Dr. Graham gives a full and thorough exam. Checking my pets for any lumps or bumps, teeth for tarter, joints for range of motion, the whole nine yards. And, he always remembers me. That kind of bedside manner goes a long way. Read Less

We arrived at 11pm thinking we would need a C-Section due to a stuck pup. Dr. Travis was able to turn the puppy around from a very unusual position, so no C-Section was required, and the mom then could push it out. Dr. Travis had us on our way home in less than an hour. Not only did our little mom avoid surgery, we saved about $1500. Kudos to a caring and capable veterinarian who was fully focused on patient care instead of the fees that she could earn. Read Less

My dog had suffered an injury, couldn't use her entire left side of her body, and I couldn't find a vet closer to me that could see her as a walk in. Based on recommendations made to me by others I personally know, I called this clinic and they told me they accepted walk ins, and warned me there might be a wait. I drove the 45 min to the clinic, and I was only sitting in the lobby for about 10 minutes before I was called into a room. The vet, Dr. Graham, I thought was very knowledgeable, and he was able to identify my dog's ailment. Unfortunately, it wasn't what any pet owner wanted to hear, and after much discussion about her treatment options, I made the hard decision to euthanize her (this was not the vet's first suggestion to me at all--if anything, I brought it up). I simply wouldn't be able to afford, or save up the money for what needed to be done in the short amount of time that would be needed to ensure my pup would gain back some of her lost mobility. It was a tough decision, but I couldn't allow my pup to live in pain and unable to ever walk again. But the vet, Dr. Graham, and the tech Jordan were so supportive and made my sweet girl comfortable. It's been two days, and I personally received a call from Dr. Graham checking on how I was holding up. It was the kindest gesture... especially for him to take time out of his day to check on how I've been doing since I had to put my baby down. Everyone I spoke with, the receptionist at the time, the vet, vet tech, and the other kind girl who helped the tech wheel my pup out to my car, were all such nice and supportive people. It was comforting. Despite the circumstances of the visit, I would still recommend this clinic to others. It's not their fault for the diagnosis of my pup's injury, but their kindness and concern has stuck with me, and it was highly appreciated and needed. Read Less

I just want to say that Dr. Vaughn and all the staff are amazing. I have had to deal with the pain of loss of pets that I have loved deeply, but having Dr. Vaughn and all the dedicated staff has been a tremendous help to me. I have a great deal of confidence in their ability to assess what is going on with the health of my pets, as well as doing their very best to help prevent problems as well. Thank you for your expertise and your commitment to our pets to give them the very best. Read Less

We absolutely love OSO Creek Animal Hospital and Emergency Center!! The Staff is very professional and always courteous and super helpful. We have used a few other vets looking for the one that just felt right. And we have found it here!!. We want our dog to have the absolute best care available. He has a unique heart problem and we want our Vet. to pull out all the stops, and give us options that we did not receive at other animal hospitals. The staff puts our Golden Retriever's needs first. They sit on the floor with him and explain very thoroughly what we need to do as 'pet parents' to give him a full and joyous life. We are glad for all their experience and advanced technology that they have available if we should ever need it. We really appreciate all the time they take with us and of course Barney :-) If you want more than just a place to go get your dogs shots, if you want personal attention for your pets, then this is the place for you too :-) Read Less

My puppy was recently hospitalized at Oso Animal Hospital. The care that the doctor's and their staff provided was immaculate. The doctor's are very well-educated. The treatment plan was perfectly suited to my puppy's medical needs. They not only provided reassurance but were also able to empathize with the emotions I was feeling. My puppy is now home with me and doing well. I am confident that my loved one received the best care possible. I definitely recommend that anyone in need of veterinary care go to Oso animal hospital!!! A big thank you to the entire staff!! Read Less

I don't know how many vets are here, but there have been one or two that have been amazing, that being said, it seems like we always have to wait a long time to be seen, even if it's by appointment, and one of them told us to euthanize our otherwise perfectly happy, healthy kitten because she has seizures. Like 8 months later, kitten takes meds for her seizures, and she's still a happy, healthy, active little cat. She will always have to take meds, and she may have a shorter life span, but none of the other vets or the neurologist we visited in San Antonio, have suggested euthanasia. I don't know if she thought we couldn't afford to take care of her or if we didn't want to waste our time on her or what, but she never asked about that before getting us all upset thinking that was the best option. Not cool... Read Less

Our 7.5 week old puppy accidentally injured his eye (hanging out of the socket) playing with our bigger dog. We rushed him over to Oso Creek without any notice to them. I wasn't even through the 2nd door at the entrance when a nurse tech was right in my face and said "I got him," and she swoop him away to the back. They took us immediately to an exam room to fill out paperwork and wait for the vet to give us a diagnosis. The vet was in to see us within 10 minutes with a thorough diagnosis and course of action (We already knew eye removal was the only course.) He was sedated upon arrival and literally out of surgery less than 3 hours after the incident. The vet and techs were awesome! I do not know about the regular services, but the emergency service is superb. I would definitely recommend. And puppy is doing well...minus one eye. Read Less
