I have two cats that I brought to oakland vet hospital for check ups and as someone else said you have to schedule two separate appointments. I did and saw both vets. The first vet was so rough and brutal with my female cat that she threw up all over the carrier and car as soon as I started to drive away. (This has never happened with other vets.) My male cat was not eating. The second vet examined him and prescribed some old drug with serious side effects that I never gave him (waste of money). She found nothing wrong with him. Two weeks later I got a second opinion with another vet office. That vet immediately found (felt) a large tumor wrapped around his intestine. It was a very agressive cancer and he died three weeks later. He may have had a chance if I brought him to a competent vet in the first place. This office is a flashback from the 1950s-- no email. The vets think they are God and clearly they are not! They dont want to give you the actual test results or prescriptions so you can buy the drugs at a cheaper pharmacy. If you ask questions of the vet, they get very irritated with you. Avoid this place like the plague if you care about your animals.

I never take the time to write these but figured in this case I should warn others. I came to this office as a second opinion from a ear hematoma surgery that failed. When I entered the office it seemed promising, the lady at the front desk was very kind and made us feel welcome. Once we got into the exam room, the atmosphere immediately changed. Dr. Dorsey (I believe is her name) coldly greets us and goes right into rudely asking where all his paperwork is and questions our reason for being there in the most unprofessional way- "Are you here for a procedure thats already been done by another vet?" She examines my dog and isnt very sympathetic to the fact that my dog has recently been to the vet 6 times in the past month for problems with his ear and is terrified. She suggests injecting his ear with cortisone and takes him in back. A few minutes later she comes back to inform me that "Your dog is a BABY and cant handle the needle. Id need to sedate him and honestly dont think its worth it". I wish I could have recorded this whole interaction as her tone and demeanor were anything but professional. I gave this office 1 star because of the wonderful soul at the front desk.

I cant say enough about Dr. Dorsey, owner and director of Oakland Veterinary Hospital. I have been to many veterinarians in my life and Dr. Dorseys compassionate, bedside-manner and humanity is by far above and beyond any others. Such dedication and heart and so committed to her lifes work. Thank you. Your humanity if far reaching - you take such care of the humans in difficult situations regarding the animal. Im so appreciative.

Stopped with feral kittens - one in dire shape. They WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT. They referred me to the super expensive night time Vet hospitals. Instead I went to Woodminster Veterinary. The Vet tech looked at the emergency kitten and immediately took it to the back for cleanup and warmth while they agreed to work the rest into the schedule. Supportive, informative and reasonable fees.

Ive been bringing our cats in here for years, and the staff has always been courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. They gave us affordable options when our cat had a kidney infection, thus saving us money and saving the cat as well!
