Oak Ridge Veterinary Hospital

This has been our vet for 20+ years. When our dog was sick with seizures years ago I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive team of Dr’s to care for Yoda!

Worst Vet I’ve experienced in 20 years of vets from all over the country and world. One of their vets forgot to record my past visit when I brought 15 year old dog in for lethargy and leaking anal glands. When I told her she saw me last time and prescribed xyz, her response was «Oh I forgot to write it down — my bad.» Then she prescribed two medications which when combined essentially poisoned my elderly dog. This is how I discovered the medication debacle.
I took my dog with me on trip outta town to keep an eye on her and had to take her to emergency vet after she vomited and projectile (you know — from the anus) all over the hotel room. This was after vomiting during the 15 hour car ride — she just kept getting worse. Stopped eating, eventually stopped drinking. I thought she was dying. When I handed the NJ vet the scrips ORVH had prescribed — she explained they were poison when combined, to stop the meds immediately. My dog improved w/​i a day and was eating in less than 12 hours and keeping it down. She did a 3.5 mile hike the next weekend! I never went back to ORVH. I think their entire practice should be reviewed for ethics — I suspect a malpractice lawsuit is applicable here. I however, don’t have the finances to pursue such.
Please don’t take any animal you love to this place; go to Dr. Shaw (Ideal Vet) or find someone in Knoxville. And if you’re seeking training to become a vet — don’t do it there. There office staff is terrific but the medical care is dangerous.
