Ive been bringing my feline ladies here to see Dr. Ducote since moving to the area four years ago, and have been thoroughly impressed by the care, attention, and generosity weve received here at Green Oaks. The vet techs are kind and attentive and let the gals crawl all over the counters and into cabinets where theyll feel safe. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and all the exam rooms are enclosed and have feline hormone plug-ins running so theyll feel more at home. And, last year when we thought my beloved tail-less tortie had developed lymphoma, the Dr. was incredibly compassionate, informative, and supportive. Ive never felt the slightest bit of hesitancy about leaving my gals here for boarding, exams, or procedures - I know theyre in good hands. Theyre great with the details, too - whether its mailing me check-up reminder cards when one of them is due for a visit or calling me a couple of days after an appointment to make sure everything went well, these folks make it clear they care about both the pets and the owners. My Ariel has recurring inflammation and respiratory issues (but no lymphoma!), so having a kind, knowledgeable, responsive vet is critical, and it has been an incalculable blessing to have Dr. Ducote and the rest of the team helping us through all of the various pills, treatments, and tests. Many practices feel much more geared towards dogs, since dog owners bring their critters in more often, and tend to spend more when they do come in, but these folks have gone to a great deal of trouble to make their practice friendly to all sizes and species of fur children. Good on them. Theyre not the cheapest, but its absolutely worth paying the extra for the exceptional care youll receive here.

I took my puppy in for an exam because her right eye had been getting more and more red over the past few days. After waiting in the exam room for about 5 minutes the vet tech came in with an invoice of $110, when I was told on the phone the exam only cost $37. They wanted to sell me 2 extra shots and a take home stool test, none of which I asked for or mentioned, as my puppy was not due for more shots for another 2 weeks. I put on the sheet they had me fill out that I was here for an exam because of my puppys eye. When the vet came in she looked at my puppys eye for a whole 2 seconds before deciding that the thinning hair under her eyes was probably caused by a mite and recommended another $30 test, without saying a word about the redness in her eye. Long story short they tried to charge me $160 for tests and shots I didnt need, while failing to do or say anything about the redness that I originally came in for. Now my puppy is having serious eye problems and we had to go to an emergency pet hospital, which cost over $130 and my puppy is in near constant pain, and probably will be for the next few days. All because the folks at Green Oaks were too busy trying to make a few extra bucks to pay any attention to what was actually wrong with my puppy.

If youre in the Arlington area do not take your pets to the Green Oaks North Animal Clinic. They will purposely not give you the entire diagnosis, resulting in you having to make another visit and giving them more money. Taking my poor kitty to an emergency hospital thanks to these greedy assholes. The female doctor there told us that crystals normally dont form in male cats in which they are most common in male cats also... they also did tests on his urine and failed to mention the crystals in his pee ..all they did was give him pain meds and sent us home no antibiotics no nothing..now he has a blocked urethra which calls for a catheter and an iv and since he had the pain meds he "felt better " and was able to pass urine but was still getting worse ...yesterday I came home and he had throw up his food from his urine being back.up so much he became toxic and if we had waited till monday hed be dead Thanks for taking our money and not helping us out at all

Dr. Hulka and the staff at Green Oaks N treat you like family. I have never experienced care for my animals like they provide. I thought I had it good at my last vet but these guys go above in beyond. One experience in particular sticks out for me and has won me over. I mentioned in passing that I didnt care for a particular compounding pharmacy because they didnt have a drive through and I had to get my 3 toddlers out of the car to get my animals medication. Almost a week later, Dr. Hulka remembered that fact and called some medication into a pharmacy he found that had a drive-through. Incredible customer service. When I put my cat to sleep recently the staff treated him and I like we were family. I couldnt say enough good things about them. Definitely try them out, you wont regret it.

This is the best vet office you will find. I took my cat, Sushi, here when we suspected he had become diabetic. He was diagnosed as such and the doctors both went above and beyond. I even got an after hours call that last 30 minutes about how to keep him using his box. We discussed everything from number of boxes, type of litter, placement and even kitty calming plug ins. Sadly, he was eventually put down but after that happened, they sent me a folder in the mail full of poems about going over the rainbow bridge and even some resources for pet grief. It was an awful situation and it was nice to know that someone cared. They always knew us when we walked in. They care about the pets they see. They are FANTASTIC.

We spent $750! here on two dog exams and regular vaccinations! This is with no flea or heartworm medicine! They tried to tell me my dog needed knee surgery after it went out of place one time, and tried to convince me my other dog needed stomach surgery because he had issues with sensitivity. If I paid $700 for shots and exams, I dont want to know what surgery costs. We took them back one other time and after they tried to sell us on more unecessary procedures we were through with them. This was in 2009, and of course both dogs are still woderfully fine without the surgery. A good doctor should live by "first, do no harm" not "first, get as much money as possible at the expense of your patients health."

Dr. Hulka and his crew are the best! I always know, without a doubt, when I have to board or take my dog here for Veterinary care that she will be well taken care of and safe, and everyone here treats our dog like family. We first found Dr. Hulka when our other dog was very sick. Sadly, she is now at the Rainbow Bridge, but Dr. Hulka and his staff were absolutely wonderful and very caring and compassionate during such a stressful and sad time. Overall, this is such a great and wonderful Vets office/pet hospital with such a caring, awesome crew, its the best Vets Office my dogs have been to.

I took my german shepherd in a few weeks ago for an exam because he had been having some pain in his leg but the staff kept trying to push unrelated and unnecessary medications and treatments for problems he didnt have. We ended up at another vet where we got him treated finally, but they said it would have been better and cheaper if we had come in earlier. We tried, but all the people at Green Oaks cared about was making more money.
