The doctors, vet techs and staff at Oak Heart are absolutely incredible!!! Last week our dog, Haw, had an unexpected medical emergency and the expertise and quick action of the staff at Oak Heart ultimately saved his life. Dr. Rachel Blackburn performed surgery to save Haw from GDV (flipped/twisted stomach) 💗 and we are FOREVER thankful for her expertise and care. While under surgery we stayed with our other dog in their comfort room which we were so thankful for especially as we were there overnight. The staff made sure we were comfortable and made it possible to see our Haw immediately after surgery to make sure he was ok. 🥺 We are sincerely and forever indebted to the care, expertise and quick thinking of Rachel, the vet techs and staff at Oak Heart. 💕 Thank you so much for all you have done for our family.

I am beyond pleased with Oak Heart! The friendliest, and most welcoming vet I’ve ever been to. My sweet soldier boy is very happy to be in the hands of those who care and aren’t scared of him🥹 We are very grateful for the entire Oak Heart team

I had to go to Oak Heart on S Saunders for emergency services for my dog. The vet staff was professional and fast to take care of a wound that needed stitches. The veterinarian was amazing (Dr Hay-Roe) and answered all of my questions with patience and kindness. Above all, my boy got the highest standard of care and they sent me home with everything I need to keep him comfortable. Every aspect of his care was carefully thought through, from A to Z. They even made tweaks to aftercare based on his breed needs and individual history. Thank you Oak Heart ❤️

Oak Heart S. Saunders has always done a great job taking care of my pets! They did an annual exam for my two dogs (one of which was very nervous) and it went as smooth as possible. This was my first time with Dr. Varichak and her tech - they’re both wonderful! They both had patience, kindness, consideration for my pets anxiety, and were very thorough. I wanted some information additional testing for some concerns I had, and Dr. Varichak quickly gave me results that lifted a weight off my shoulders. I couldn’t have had a better visit! Front desk staff are always kind and patient (weighing pets isn’t always easy). I will continue visiting and recommending this practice for my pets and others’!

I can not say enough about this place. From the moment you walk in the door, a sense of peace and comfort greets you along with professionalism. I highly recommend for routine or emergency vet care.
