★★★★★ We found the staff very helpful and caring, and we appreciate all their help and love for the animalsPaul A.Paul A. ★★★★★ They are so kind and knowledgeable. Plus they have evening and Saturday hours!shawn K.shawn K. ★★★★★ This is the best vet! Everyone from reception to tech's to vets are friendly, helpful, and they genuinely care about me as well as my pets! I have seen so many of the vets and they are all great!laurey A.laurey A. ★★★★★ I could not recommend Ottawa Animal Hospital enough - both locations! I switched from my past vet and will never go anywhere else. The staff has been amazing at communicating with me compassionately when I have been under duress for an illness with my dog. Chloe talked to me on the phone and helped ease my mind when on the verge of tears and Gladys was also so kind on the phone. Doctor Wendy Swift has been amazing with my dog after he contracted two tick-born illnesses and helped me come up with a meal plan and supplements that will help strengthen his immune system as well as just give me supportive words. Doctor Turner personally called me when I sent my other dogs embark health results in just to discuss them with me in depth and offer any advice. I have never had a bad experience with this staff and would recommend everyone take their babies here. It feels like they understand that my dogs are my entire life line and I so needed that. Thank you Ottawa Animal Hospital!Olivia F.Olivia F. ★★★★★ They are by far the best ppl for this job. They genuinely are about myself and my dog. Never change my vetPaul O.Paul O. ★★★★★ Animal Hospital East is an excellent place to take your fur babies. My kitten was sick after having shots there, I called them after hours and the doctor said to give her Benadryl and to bring her in if she wasn’t better by morning. Thank goodness she was so I didn’t have to. The Dr had the nurse call me later that morning to ask me how she was. A regular Dr won’t take the time to inquire about my health but they cared enough to call me when they didn’t hear from me. This is the 3rd cat they’ve taken care of and I honestly wouldn’t want anyone else treating my baby.Bobbi H.Bobbi H. ★★★★★ Everytime I bring my dog there, everyone is always welcoming, and we know that we will be taken care of, and the staff is very approachable when we have questions. I have moved to Grand Rapids, and I still bring my dog here for his check up.Kara S.Kara S. ★★★★★ I can't say enough about how truly wonderful this vet clinic is. We've had a rough year of illnesses with our pets and Dr. Patterson has been a blessing! It's tough to find vets who will see/treat exotics, but she was more than willing to squeeze us into her schedule for a few emergency appointments for our parrot. Not only did she help troubleshoot, test, and spend an immense amount of time talking through the situation with us, she called multiple times to follow up and see how we/our parrot was doing. Prices for testing/treatment were also very reasonable.I've been to many, many vets over the years and I've not met a practice who is so willing to go above and beyond for their clients and patients. Many kudos to Dr. Patterson and the entire team at this clinic. We live 30 minutes away and will happily make the drive to see them because of their superb service.Hannah L.Hannah L. ★★★★★ We have been going to Ottawa Animal Hospital for many years and have been seeing Dr. Bergstrom. On Friday night my 14 yr. old daisy dog, KimiSoo, showed alarming signs. She was disoriented and couldn't climb the stairs. She kept tipping over. I tearfully called Ottawa Animal Hospital East Saturday morning which was open for the morning, and was given an appointment with Dr. Rushlow. Robin assisted. They diagnosed her as having canine vestibular disease. Dr. Rushlow prescribed anti-nausea medication and an anti-anxiety medication. KimiSoo has been improving. Dr. Rushlow assured me the condition would pass in time and he put my mind at ease. I appreciate OAHEast's prompt scheduling and treatment of my dear little friend. I heartily recommend them.John W Post J.John W Post J. ★★★★★ Great people who really love animals! They are great at making follow up calls to check on my pet's health.Michael Caryn F.Michael Caryn F. ★★★★★ Felt like the staff of this clinic really know their stuff, and they have a lot of extra options for in house care our previous vet did not. Would recommend!Ericka H.Ericka H. ★★★★★ The OAH vets and office staff are great at responding quickly if questions arise about prescribed medicines or new symptoms.Denise N.Denise N. ★★★★★ Caring for both our animals and us!Kathy H.Kathy H. ★★★★★ I would highly recommend Ottawa Hospital East for care of pet birds. They are very thorough, knowledgeable and caring. My budgie Mike recently had his yearly exam there.Martha V.Martha V. ★★★★★ So friendly and caring for my pet! They took their time and I didn't feel rushed at all!!Caroline S.Caroline S. ★★★★★ My cat wasn't doing well and I called early in the morning and they were able to get me in. Very kind and welcoming. Great animal hospital.Marie S.Marie S. ★★★★★ I've been bringing my cats here for 15 years. If at any time during that span I felt like my babies weren't getting 100% care I'd have gone somewhere else.David Z.David Z. ★★★★★ Excellent Doctors, staff, facilityStephanie W.Stephanie W. ★★★★★ Highly recommend!Anita MAnita M ★★★★★ Very nice and caring staffsVongvilay W.Vongvilay W. ★★★★★ I love this Veterinarian office.Deb D.Deb D. ★★★★★ This is a first choice if you’re looking for a great vet. The doctor and the staff are very professional, very friendly, and are sensitive to our desire to lean toward homeopathic care for our pet.Ken S.Ken S. ★★★★★ I can not say enough good things about this location or Dr. Diane Bergstrom after my first visit today. Working in the pet industry can be very difficult, especially in veterinary medicine, and it’s not abnormal to be pushed through quickly, your concerns written off and to see a lot of burnout…but the compassion, friendliness, and respect I was shown today made me want to cry tears of joy (on top of finally being validated and seeing positive improvements in my pet’s medical condition). Dr. Bergstrom listened to what I had to say without judgment or ego and gave me peace of mind. The techs and the office staff were all very friendly and attentive. Thank you so much!Sara R.Sara R. ★★★★★ I just want to give a huge shout out to Dr. Eric Heitman and the techs and front desk personnel !!! I have a 12 year lab that most likely ate something he shouldn't have and had been dealing with intestinal issues for a few days. I called this morning for an appointment and got in this afternoon . We aren't clients and we're still seen so fast. Thank you so much !!!Donna B.Donna B. ★★★★★ I recently had to have my fur baby put down 😞My heart goes out to anyone who has to go through this. Our vet Courtney was excellent, she made princess feel better as well as me.Thank you Ottawa animal hospital East ❤️❤️❤️Dave T.Dave T. ★★★★★ Dr Swift keeps it realJames F.James F. ★★★★★ Dr. Swift has been my vet for a long time, I completely trust her with my fur kids. Incredibly thorough and gifted vet.Nicole L. B.Nicole L. B. ★★★★★ Absolutely the Best Vet Around! Caring, considerate and very professional!! Definitely helps they have reasonable prices as well! Everyone we've interacted with is so friendly 😻🐶❤️Kristi H.Kristi H. ★★★★★ Excellent serviceManuel B.Manuel B. ★★★★★ I have sporting dogs and their care is very important to me. I take my dog here because of Dr. Wendy Swift. She is the best in her field as far as I am concerned. The staff are also dog people and it really shows. They truly care about the animals they care for, they are also extremely knowledgeable. I drive from Whitehall (50 miles) to take my dog to this clinic because of the superior care my dogs receive.Irving C.Irving C. ★★★★★ They take poultry! After my turkey Ducky was attacked I had taken her to the emergency animal hospital. They told me to follow up with Duckys normal vet to check the progress. Well turns out her old vet no longer sees poultry so I was panicking. I was recommended these guys and called Monday got an appointment Monday! Everyone there was super nice and gentle with my girl. I knew it was going to cost me a good amount but not as bad as I thought! Two days after her visit they called to do a check up on her which was so thoughtful! I highly recommend these guys!!Gabzilla ! (.Gabzilla ! (. ★★★★★ We’ve taken our various dogs to Ottawa Animal Hospital since we moved here 14 years ago. The drs are so attentive, and the staff are all knowledgeable and delightful.Couldn’t ask for more care or better love & attention to our dogs.Barb W.Barb W. ★★★★★ Dr. Swift is the best!Patti D.Patti D. ★★★★★ This vet office is great. They care about what is best for the pets. They provide all the information clearly so pet parents can make an informed decision. The team are soft spoken and very kind with and towards my dogs.Leann P.Leann P. ★★★★★ I would like to acknowledge Dr. Bergstrom...I recently had to put down my Lab "Bella" - Through the past 5 years- Dr Bergstrom has been so supportive to me and Bella with all the things Bella has gone through. And when it was time to put her down, it was so peaceful for me and my son, and it was because once again Dr Bergstrom was there going through it with us. She is a great Vet and loves the clients (pets) she deals with. Thanks!Gaye B.Gaye B. ★★★★★ I had to bring my cat in for an emergency and couldn’t have asked for better care!Becky D.Becky D. ★★★★★ Adore Dr. Swift and the staff at Ottawa Animal East (and West). Our fox and Newf have the best care possible. Highly responsive and offer many approaches to pet wellness issues.Alexandria V.Alexandria V. ★★★★★ I could not recommend this place more! I move around a bit and have been to a few different vets for my pets. I’ve always had great service but nothing like I had here! I had a pretty scary last few nights with my cat and was able to get him in for an emergency appointment as soon as I called here! Once I got there the appointment was super quick and easy! And every single employee I met had a smile on their face and they were all so kind and educational!!! Gingy and I certainly cannot wait to return! (I’ll probably even drive back up here even when I move away, I was seriously so pleased with my service today 😊)Ashley R.Ashley R. ★★★★★ Our 15.5 year old pup got sick on Sunday.

My wife and I are so very appreciative of the care they provided Guinness over his 11 years and especially during the last couple of months of his life. We are also appreciative of the emotional support they gave to us. The doctor and vet assistant cried along with my wife and I when Guinness finally passed. We have received flowers and a card from OAH, and recently were notified that OAH had made a donation to Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in memory of Guinness. Finally, we would like to give special recognition and thanks to Drs. Bergstrom and Patterson for the loving care they gave to our "Gentle Little Giant". We feel they have become part of our family. And now, introducing you to Guinness....How could you not fall in love with that face?Barry C.Barry C. ★★★★★ Dr. Swift is the absolute best. Have taken all our animals over the years to her and recommend her 1,000,000%. She’s very compassionate and listens to our concerns and addresses them promptly.

They were so wonderful during our end of life appointment.Nakisha D.Nakisha D. ★★★★★ Great place, great people. Very knowledgeable and caring towards my dog homie.Jason C.Jason C. ★★★★★ I brought my kitty in with concerns over a cracked rib. They were able to fit us in and give her a check to see if she needed further treatment. Although she was skittish and trying to escape, the technician stayed calm and was able to get the readings she needed while letting the kitty roam around the room and go where she wanted rather than trying to restrain her in one spot. She also took a couple of minutes just to let the kitty acclimate to her before doing anything. It’s refreshing to see a clinic that’s focused on keeping things the least stressful for the pets.The staff is super friendly and helpful. The doctors are great at answering questions and not making you feel silly for asking or being concerned about something. They treat your pet like their own, and they do everything they can to make sure your furry family member has a stress-free visit! Even with flighty felines, the technicians are gentle. My kitty is very shy around new people but she warmed up to the staff pretty quickly - their treat method really works a trick for calming down animals!The separated cat/dog sections make things much easier as well. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a new or first vet.Logan T.Logan T. ★★★★★ Dr Swift and Medical Assistant is absolutely amazing!JulietteJuliette ★★★★★ The best!!! Staff and doctor always kind and try to help anyway they can. Concerned about you as much as your pet. 🐾Jean H.Jean H. ★★★★★ Amazing staff and vibe. They are professional and kind. I will always recommend them!TheCheshireTheCheshire ★★★★★ Helpful, understanding, empathetic staff.Clifford B.Clifford B. ★★★★★ Dr Swift is absolutely amazing! She utilizes western veterinary medicine as well as herbal/Chinese medicine to give pets the best of both worlds. Her and the entire staff at Ottawa Animal Hospital East are great with both my dogs and my cat. 10/10 recommend!Ashley H.Ashley H. ★★★★☆ When we visited with our cats over the years they were warm and friendly.
