they are nice

Very nice competent staff. Do think prices a bit high compared to my dog’s Delaware vet.

I have been going to OCVH for many years for all my dogs present and past. I can only think of one incident that occurred many years ago when the Vet I used for all my dogs was not in. My beagle was in extreme distress caused by a blocked bladder and was crying in pain. The vet that handled the case took all her time diagnosing him and since the dog was quite old and had many other problems and was not able to walk, I chose to have him euthanized but she suggested surgery to resolve the blockage. I still remember that day and the extreme coldness on the part of the vet and swore to never have her treat any other dog of mine. Out side of that I have always been very pleased with the way my pets have been treated. The one thing that bothered me was that I recently realized that the vet was still part of the staff.

Good experience. Has Sunday hours. Staff friendly curteous, and helpful. Haven’t had a problem getting an appointment same day I called. Veterinarians educated in all creatures- they have three bird vets and a reptile guy too!

The vet and vet tech could not have been nicer and more professional. However, it was somewhat of an emergency and I was told by a very formal receptionist (who got her locations confused anyway), the next appointment was 5+ hours away. I chose this vet because if I did have an emergency, it was close. The receptionist only offered going over the the Lakewood/brick office. Finally, she relented and let me pay the “emergency” $50 fee to come in. I understand procedure is procedure, rules are rules, etc. but the tone and officious attitude got me very close to changing vets. I am still somewhat annoyed. An update*** Within a few minutes of this posting, I received a call from OCVH apologizing for the actions of their employee and promising to look into it further. That made me feel much better and is the level of service normally associated with this clinic. Thank you!

Only problem I had was with the medication that was prescribed to my dog was way overpriced. They were charging me 75 dollars a month and when I asked if they could send the prescription to the pharmacy i only had to pay 7. This was after months of paying the outrageous overcharge. Besides that the staff was friendly and it is a clean facility.

Absolutely love the staff! Dr. Perlman is kind, compassionate and very thorough. The prices are really high compared to most offices around here but I won't switch because of the doctors and techs.

Great - we take both our cats there & never have a problem. Very good with customer service too.
