Fri Sep 25 2009Well I have to say the woman with the pug must be a complete nut job. I took my 6 year old dog with severe dental problems to see Dr. McCoy ...

Tue Sep 22 2009I have two German Short-haired Pointers who ,in their relatively short lives, have gotten in to every sort of trouble you can imagine- eating sunglasses, eating Advantage flea control, eating half a bag of dog food, allergic reaction to a bee sting, eating clumping cat litter. But the most traumatic was when our dog Remy chewed on the end of a live extension cord , electrocuted himself and severely burned his mouth. I rushed Remy to North Portland Vet , which is a few blocks from our house, assuming they might send us to Dove Lewis. But they immediately saw him , got him comfortable and monitored him all day. He was able to see their dental/oral surgery specialist that same day. After over a month of weekly visits while his burns healed Remy had surgery to remove 2 teeth and a small portion of his lower jaw bone that had been damages by the electrocution. He is now back to being a ball dog. Our regular Vet is Dr.Shanks , who we love ,but we have seen nearly all the Vets at one t... Read more

Fri Jul 31 2009I've been taking my cats to North Portland since I moved to the neighborhood a few years ago. My experience with the clinic is extensive, as I have several cats, a couple of whom have urinary problems. I've used the clinic for occasional emergencies as well as more routine vists and procedures (neutering, dental work, diagnostic tests). Remarkably, every vet we've seen there is very personable and highly competent, and cares deeply about animals. The techs and administrative staff are also very competent, friendly and courteous, and love animals, too. In addition to their excellent care, I also very much appreciate the fact that they don't try to push expensive but unneeded services and products on their clients. I've had occasion to vist a number of clinics in different cities where I've lived, and North Portland is by far the best.

Wed Jun 10 2009I have been taking my pets to North Portland Veterinary Hospital since 1981 when I originally moved to Portland. Dr. Warner has provided the most caring and compassionate care possible--even to the extent of coming to our home to euthanize our cat Bradley in 1999. She felt it would better for both Bradley and us to have the euthanization take place in the beauty and tranquility of our back yard gardens in familiar surroundings as opposed to having it take place in the clinical setting. More recently we have experienced an ongoing medical condition with our dog Rosy and once again Dr. Warner has provided the utmost care and concern in her efforts to stabilize Rosy's condition. The staff is knowledgeable and they show concern and care every time we need to visit with one of our 4 pets. We always recommend to our new friends and clients that NPVH is THE place to take their pets!

Mon Apr 13 2009The Vets at North Portland are all GREAT, but Dr. Warner is the best ever. Her compassion and caring attitude towards both pet and owner is beyond compare. I have recommended her to many of my friends and will again I am sure! Plus the cost of services is quite reasonable compared to other vets. Dr. Warner is always willing to offer solutions to fit my tight budget,never pushing unnecessary expensive procedures. I now drive 30 miles to this location, and it is well worth it. Dr. Warner is great with my Cats and Dogs. I have been seeing her for about 13 years. Dr. Ross Weinstein, who specializes in exotics does a great job with our Rabbit. He has generously donated countless hours to the Rabbit Advocate's group to help rescued rabbits in need of medical care. Dr. McCoy; the Owner is our favorite Veterinary Dentist. The pets love his gentle dentistry. Even the office staff and techs are special. They really care about you and your pets. As you can tell, I just can't say enough good t... Read more

Fri Nov 21 2008We had an emergency with our 11 year old lab mix, he wasn't weight bearing on one of his hind legs, our normal vet office wasn't open on this particular Saturday. We did the research and decided to give this place a try. What a fabulous experience!! The vet we saw was running a little late but that's okay. Our dog is quite a talker and was telling everyone what he thought, the front desk staff were great, didn't mind his incessant chatter at all. The vet was very friendly and seemed to have a solid knowledge base, discussing options for our dog's heart murmur (which wasn't the main issue). He did a complete annual exam along with checking out his leg and offered multiple options for treatment, from no cost to higher cost. Overall if we didn't love our current vet we would use this place for long term care. Prices were comparable and affordable.

Tue Oct 07 2008I couldn't disagree more with the previous review. I've worked at 2 veterinary clinics, and North Portland Veterinary Hospital tops anything I've ever experienced. I thoroughly trust all of their doctors, and the staff is amazing. The technicians are all skilled, the doctors' assistants are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the front desk staff goes out of their way to make it a fantastic experience overall. They may be more expensive than other clinics in their neighborhood, but they are very comparable to places of similar caliber in the Portland metro area. If their doctors recommend something for you pet, you can be sure that it's for the good of the animal, not out of avarice. Hands down, best veterinary hospital in Portland (and possibly Oregon!).

Thu Apr 03 2008I moved to the North Portland area and thought I would give this Vet Hospital a try for my new kitten. I am a former Certified Veterinary Technician and found that this place pushes options that I know are just part of a money making scheme. They did not give me any options and pushed for things that my cat was not going to need. After I told them that my cat did not need some of their "recommended" options they gave me a snotty attitude. I asked for a itemized list of costs for the options they suggested. What I recieved was a sheet of paper with all the options lumped into one price, not what I asked for. When I told them exactly what care I wanted for my pet they flat out told me I had to do it their way. If a clinic is not willing to itemize out the options for you don't trust them.
