I moved to Tallahassee two years ago and was very concerned to find an excellent vet. Luckily for me and my three Great Danes, we found Oakwood Animal Hospital. Unfortunately, my first experience with them was an emergency visit as my Dane was very ill. Dr. Wanous not only saved my dogs life (now 10) but treated him (despite having never met us before) like he was family. I got personal phone calls checking in on Alexander and keeping track of him in his recovery. Since then, I have spent *a lot* of time at Oakwood for non-emergency stuff. They treat every one of my kids as their own. The staff actually kisses my Danes on the head as they walk in and I have seen them show that kind of love with every other clients dogs. What struck me one day when I was in the back with on of my dogs was that Dr. Wanous leaned down and kissed another clients dog on the head as it was brought to the back. The clients werent around. It was not a performance. Oakwood genuinely loves their clients, and that is something that is very hard to find anywhere. Finally, I am grateful to Oakwood because Great Danes are a very complicated breed. The vets at Oakwood are VERY smart, but not arrogant. And the mistakes I have had happen or seen at other facilities because of arrogance never happened at Oakwood. If they dont know something, they find out. They research and learn. They are always up for new challenges and always rise to the occasion. I would recommend Oakwood with highest regard and without reservation.

I have taken my rescue dog to numerous veterinary hospitals. Oakwood is our primary vet and the single-most significant reason that my dog has thrived with all of her issues. Initially, we went to Oakwood Animal Hospital and Dr. Wanous and his staff were so welcoming, professional, and expert at what they do. Dr. Wanous single-handedly found some issues with my dog that needed attention. He did not hesitate to refer my dog to a specialist because he knew that the referral was the best course of action for her. He and his staff have cared for my dog for several years now. Upon arriving for our appointment, my dog runs up to Dr. Matt, licks him, and doesnt hesitate at all when she is at Oakwood. Very frequently, I will receive a phone call as a follow-up to see how my dog is doing. I appreciate this very much. Also, Dr. Matt has made himself available after hours and has even delivered some medicine to my house for my dog. I cannot say enough good things about Oakwood. I feel that we are very lucky to have such a professional veterinary hospital in town.

Oak Wood Animal Hospital is an amazing place. They are very welcoming and friendly towards you and your pets. I was not able to pay for a full yearly check up for my two dogs so they helped me figure out a payment plan to get Lilly and Prince what they need in a timely manner and when I could pay for it. We have been in every other week for a month and a half now, and every time is a great experience. I have even been there when multiple animals were brought in for emergency situations, and the entire staff was on top of the situations. Keeping the environment as calm as possible and getting everything figured out. They also made sure to let me and another client know that they have not forgotten us and that they would get with us as soon as they could. That is exactly what they did. I highly recommend Oak Wood Animal Hospital!

I spent some time reading the other reviews. I know some people have complained about the rude attitude of the staff in this animal hospital. To be fair, every time I went there, my dog and I were treated nicely. But later I realized what Oakwood animal hospital made me pay several hundreds of dollars for, was a lot cheaper at any other place. It is ethically and morally wrong to use the love and responsibility I feel towards my dog to get me to agree to a million ABSOLUTELY unnecessary tests and procedures. (Unnecessary in the opinion of two other vets in Tallahassee). I am extremely disappointed after finding out that this has happened to several other of their clients. I hope they reconsider how they run things in their business.

My dogs and I absolutely love everyone at Oakwood. The doctors and staff are the most wonderfully caring and professional people. They provide not only love at every visit, but boundless attention to detail regarding animal health. My aging dog has developed multiple health issues through the years. Each time, Dr. Bowman, Dr. Matt, and Dr. Combs have gone above and beyond to diagnose, treat, and help her get back to as close to normal as possible. All the supporting techs and staff have shown great kindness and concern. They realize how much I love my dogs and I feel like they do as well. I trust them to always do the very best for my fur babies. We feel very fortunate to have Oakwood as a part of our family.

Ive had my cat, Frank, for 2 years now. I brought him in because he came home one day with 2 hurt paws. He couldnt even walk right! I brought him in to Dr. Combs and she patched him up. Only had to wait about 10 min before we could get in to see her. After she gave Frank an exam and patched him up, she told me about how he was overweight for a cat his size (I dont know his age because he was a stray) and I had no idea because I thought cats were supposed to be chubby! So she told me all about proper diet habits and what kind of food to give Frank to get him up to snuff. I am really thankful Dr. Combs gave me the advice, because Frank has had a lot more pep in his step since I changed his diet.

Good looking and clean facility, but we encountered some things we didnt like: 1) a very unpleasant and arrogant receptionist 2) they are way too hungry for money, its just rude. I understand they are a business and need to make money, but what about ethics? 3) the vet we saw last time looked young and unexperienced. He suggested our dog had a seizure and tried to convince me we should do blood tests and potentially some kind of MRI, to determine if there is brain tumor, and spend thousands of dollars on it; a different, more experienced vet in a different clinic determined in 5 mins that she had a disc injury that didnt require any treatment, and, indeed, she got well on her own and for free.

You will love Oakwood Animal Hospital! I have been taking my pets there for years. The doctors and staff are knowledgeable and friendly and go out of their way to make your pets feel welcome. They are through and take their time will you and your pet, always remembering your name and your pets name, which is very important to me. Oakwood is part of our extended family. Our miniature schnauzer has a lot of medical issues and because of Dr. Matts expertise and treatment, he doesnt even know hes sick. At almost 12 years old, he still has the energy of a young pup. The office and exam rooms are always clean. I would highly recommend Oakwood for all of your pets medical needs.
