Do not EVER come here. Came with our cat who looked and acted fine except for some blood in her urine for what was very likely a UTI. Cat was held for 11 hours, and at the 11-hour mark I was called and told that they “just missed” collecting her urine so they were going to treat for a UTI anyway. They had all day long to collect this urine and knew that they needed to do so. They also refused to give her the first dose of medicine. If you cannot operate as a center that sees animals urgently, then don’t pretend that you can. The staff was nice enough, and this has nothing to do with them. But the business, as a whole, is absolutely inept and made for a terrible experience. Shortly before telling me they were unable to collect her urine, I was quoted $300 for bloodwork which I declined. $300 is absolute highway robbery. The urine culture that they did not collect would have been over $300 as well. Go somewhere else, not here.

Medvet Vet Hospital Introduce

Welcome to the introduction of Medvet Vet Hospital, located at 5230 Renner Rd, Columbus, OH 43228, USA. As a facility within the Pet Hospital category, Medvet Vet Hospital serves the local community of Columbus, Ohio, and surrounding areas, providing veterinary care for animal companions. While the provided information does not detail the hospital's environment or a comprehensive list of its services and features, the available customer reviews offer contrasting perspectives on the experiences of pet owners who have sought care for their animals at this location. This introduction aims to present an objective overview based solely on these reviews, without any additional information.

Details regarding the specific environment of Medvet Vet Hospital are not provided in the customer reviews. Typically, a veterinary hospital includes various areas such as a reception and waiting area for clients and their pets, examination rooms for veterinary consultations, diagnostic imaging facilities, a laboratory for processing tests, surgical suites for performing operations, and recovery areas for animals after procedures. The reviews do not offer any description of these physical spaces. Therefore, local users seeking information about the clinic's environment may need to contact Medvet Vet Hospital directly or consult other sources.

The services offered at Medvet Vet Hospital can be partially inferred from the customer reviews. One reviewer mentioned bringing their cat in for what was likely a urinary tract infection (UTI), indicating that the hospital handles cases related to such common pet ailments. The discussion of attempting to collect a urine sample and the subsequent decision to treat for a UTI suggests that the hospital provides diagnostic services, although the efficiency of these services was called into question by the reviewer. The mention of a quote for bloodwork indicates that Medvet Vet Hospital offers laboratory testing as part of its diagnostic capabilities. The positive review stating "Medvet was awesome on taking care of my girl" suggests that the hospital is capable of providing effective and satisfactory care in some instances. However, the lack of specific details about the range of services beyond these examples makes it difficult to provide a comprehensive overview based solely on the provided reviews. Potential services typically offered by a pet hospital could include routine wellness examinations, vaccinations, preventative care, medical treatments, surgery, and dental care, but the reviews do not confirm the availability or quality of these services at Medvet Vet Hospital.

Several features of Medvet Vet Hospital can be identified from the contrasting customer experiences. One notable aspect, highlighted negatively by a reviewer, is the perceived inefficiency in handling urgent cases and diagnostic procedures. The experience of a cat being held for eleven hours without a urine sample being collected, despite the known need for it, raises concerns about the hospital's processes and communication. The reviewer's statement, "If you cannot operate as a center that sees animals urgently, then don’t pretend that you can," suggests a potential discrepancy between the hospital's advertised capabilities and the actual experience of some pet owners in urgent situations. Another feature, also viewed negatively, is the pricing of certain diagnostic tests, with one reviewer describing a $300 quote for bloodwork and an anticipated similar cost for a urine culture as "absolute highway robbery." This raises concerns about the affordability of some of the hospital's services. On the other hand, a contrasting feature is the positive experience of another pet owner who stated that "Medvet was awesome on taking care of my girl," indicating that the hospital is capable of providing excellent care in some cases. The reviewer also noted that "the staff was nice enough," suggesting that while some operational aspects may be lacking, the customer service from the staff members themselves might be satisfactory. The conflicting reviews indicate a potential inconsistency in the quality of service or significant variations in individual experiences at Medvet Vet Hospital.

No specific promotional information for Medvet Vet Hospital is included in the provided data. Pet hospitals sometimes offer promotions for certain services, especially for new clients or during specific times. Without any such information in the reviews, it is not possible to comment on any current offers or discounts that Medvet Vet Hospital might be providing. Local users interested in learning about any potential promotions should contact the hospital directly.

In conclusion, the customer reviews for Medvet Vet Hospital in Columbus, OH, present a mixed picture. While one reviewer had a significantly negative experience citing issues with urgent care handling, diagnostic procedures, and pricing, another reviewer reported a positive experience. The negative review raises concerns about efficiency in urgent situations and the cost of some services, while the positive review indicates that satisfactory care can be provided. The staff is described as nice, but the overall business operations were criticized by one reviewer. Due to the conflicting nature of the limited feedback, local users are advised to consider these perspectives and potentially seek additional information or recent reviews from other sources to form a more comprehensive understanding of what to expect from Medvet Vet Hospital. Contacting the hospital directly with specific inquiries about their services, procedures, and pricing may also be beneficial.

Medvet was awesome on taking care of my girl

Mar 16, 2025 · Stephanie Swart

The doctors were very friendly when I brought my dog inside for vomiting while I was in tears but that attitude quickly changed when I didn’t have the money to afford all of their procedures up front. They were calling me every 20 minutes saying new things that they supposedly found and kept increasing my price. When I said I need to take her home and will bring her to her normal veterinarian they got major attitudes with me. The doctor Barbara acted like she could care less showing me how to give my dog her IV medication. She was going really fast, was not compassionate and stormed out without even a good morning or good bye. I had to stop her to even find out her name because she didn’t even have the courtesy to give me an introduction. My dog has been attacking her water bowl since the moment she got on the house so I have no clue as to what they supposedly did to “hydrate her” but it clearly has done the opposite. I’ve never seen veterinarians with such big attitudes and lack of compassion. They wouldn’t even give me the curtesy of calming my dog down first before rambling a thousand miles an hour of how to give her shots. Then she goes on to say “one of the medications needs to be refrigerated, I’m sure it’s labeled” Like wow you can’t even tell me the name of the medication or verify it is labeled before sending me on my way!? Very unprofessional. They clearly only care about my pockets rather than the life of my dog and to that I say they can kick rocks! I’d rather take her to her family vet any way, they just weren’t open at 3am.

Okay, this is going to be long so bare with me. I found a premature kitten outside of my apartment. It was alive and crying. I called everywhere I could think of and the only place was MedVet. They, thankfully, took the kitten under the "Good Samaritan" act. I was worried about the mom so I asked them if i found her could I bring her in or what do I do? They said depending on her physical state I could bring her in and I said okay. The VERY next day, I see mom around my apartment and try to catch her as I can see her bleeding from her private area, which tells me she is giving birth prematurely. She runs out in the road, completely my fault, is blown by a car (looks like she was hit) falls to the curb and gives birth to a deceased kitten. I'm only telling you all this to get an exact picture of what I and the cat went through. I IMMEDIATELY rushed her to MedVet and the lady at the front, I'm not exaggerating VERY rudely told me and I'm quoting " We don't accept stray animals here, unless you're willing to pay for her care, you need to take her and leave" AFTER I told her exactly what I had described to you all. AND THEN when I got back in my car she had ANOTHER stillborn. As I was sitting in my car crying, trying to think of anywhere that could help her, a worker came out and asked me if I needed help? I explained to her the situation and that they wouldn't take it and even SHE was not aware that they couldn't take in possibly hurt stray animals. #1. Why take the kitten under a " Good Samaritan" act if "you're not" allowed to take strays at all. #2. Why did you have to be so rude? #3. Why is it that not even all of the employees know this policy of not accepting stray animals? I gave them 3 stars because they took the kitten I found and they were lovely that time. But I just don't understand why the poor mama cat and I were forced to leave with no direction, no help, NOTHING. If they would've told me who to call; rescue centers, humane society etc. It wouldn't have been so bad. But I was literally told " You need to take her and leave". None of this is okay. I hope MedVet probably informs their staff of their ACTUAL and CURRENT policies and this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Certainly not the place you want to have to visit, but this is a wonderful emergency vet. We went around 10pm, and everyone there was so nice and helpful. We had almost no wait time, even though there were several other pets there. They gave us several different options for treatment and were very compassionate when we ended up having to put our cat down. They even sent us a kind handwritten sympathy card a few days later.
