While the staff and Dr. Oaks himself seemed fine (friendly, knowledgeable, and personable), their rating was really affected by the condition of their facilities. The waiting room smelled very strongly of cat urine and just didnt seem clean overall. Ive never been to a vet that smelled that strongly of cats before. After waiting for five minutes I was having a terrible allergy attack. They also took my dog into the back to draw blood for heart worm and to give her a vaccination shot. I didnt get to see the condition of the back room, but the impression I got from the front makes me nervous about the back. I also would have liked to see them administer the vaccination instead of having them do it out of my sight. Even though the everyone seemed competent and friendly, the condition of the facilities alone will probably keep me from ever going back to this clinic again.

We wanted to find a vet that was closer to home for our cat and dog. My experience at first was neutral, not great but not bad. We brought our dog in because he had a ear infection that is very common with floppy eared dogs and he has had many of them. They gave a medicine he had never had before and after a few days he went deaf. I called and no one seemed to really care. I went back in and the Dr. looked at his ears and shrugged. I had done my research and found that it was not uncommon with this particular med to have dogs go deaf. He did not seem to really care at all. To have a 10 year old dog who still acts like a puppy to go deaf was devastating to us and all he could do was shrug? Then as I walked out the door I was told that would be $50.00 dollars for the visit. Wow! I paid but I will never return, horrible service and no compassion at all.

Dr. Oachs and his staff are absolutely fantastic, delivering a world class vet experience. I discovered them as a recommendation when a friend heard about the astronomical prices I was being charged at New Hope Animal hospital. Dr. Oachs took the time to address my concerns, always gave me several options regarding the care of my cat, and even gave me a lesson in how to determine if my cats bladder was full (since he was having urinary tract blockage issues). This helped me be able to determine whether or not I needed to bring him in. Ive moved all over the metro area, but no matter where I land, I will always, always take my animals to Diamond Lake. Theyre the best!

I hope to move to Minneapolis (even tho I dont like to shovel snow!) in about 2 years, to teach rocket science to kindergarteners. I have a herd of cats and 2 little dogs, so finding a good vet is VERY important to me. This vet sounds wonderful. Here in Enid, Oklahoma, we have The Cat Clinic which is for cats only, and we dearly LOVE them. (I would love to start a clinic for dogs, and call it The Doggie Doctor!) At any rate, I would definitely try out this clinic based on the reviews. After all, Im a Batty Old Cat Lady With Two Little Dogs, and the vet we choose means a lot to us. --Margaret Tivis, in Enid, Oklahoma

The renovation is terrific. Ive been coming here since 1984 and all my pets have been cared for with kindness and competence. Dr. Oakes and the staff are truly good-hearted. Last year I was matched with a stray kitten I didnt know I needed but Dr. Oakes thought she would be a good fit with my other two cats. She surely has added so much pleasure to my household. Dr. Oakes gets to know his pet patients and their owners. Always a warm welcome.

I highly recommend Dr. Oakes and his staff. They are courteous and competent. This is my new vet: My female cat was recently spayed at this clinic: Excellent job, the cat was not stressed at all and you can barely see the incision (internal stitches). I have had other 2 cats spayed before and this is the CLEANEST job I have seen so far at the most honest price I have ever paid.

The Vets and staff at Diamond Lake Animal Clinic are so kind and caring. We got a handwritten condolence card after we made the very difficult decision to put our beloved old doggie "to sleep." Each Vet wrote a personal message in the card; we knew they understood how bereft we felt that day. If we decide to get another dog, they will be our Veteranarians!

Anticipating a good experience bringing my 11 year old Shellie here after enthusiastic endorsement by a friend, although I think its a different veterinarian. Fingers crossed! Ill update my review if it differs from expectations.

Ive always had a great experience with Dr. Oaks and the staff. They obviously care about animals and its worth the drive from NE Minneapolis to their clinic to know my pets are in good hands. Thank you Dr. Oaks!

There is no one we trust our dog with more. The staff and vets are amazing, compassionate, and so kind to the animals. Highly recommend!

A little less attention to detail than I expected, but got the job done.
