My little 6 month puppy just had her spay and microchip placement on 8/27/28 at Oakwell Animal Hospital with Dr.Kristen Kiser and Madison. They were very professional and very very kind to me and especially to my puppy. I could not have ask for more. They explained everything to me and kept me updated throughout the day as to how my puppy was doing. They called me the day before to remind me of her surgery and not to let her eat after 11:00 pm. They told me what time to be there the day of surgery. They let me know that she was there 1st surgery and would call me when it was finished and let me know how everything went. During that call they told me what time I could pick her up. Once I got there to get her they gave me all her paper work and told me how and when to give her the pain Medicine and if there were any concerns not to hesitate to call them. With my puppy bring small they gave her some extra love and would carry her around for awhile instead of leaving her in the crate crying and barking. The next day they call me to check up on how she was doing. I highly recommend Oakwell Animal Hospital to anyone that has a pet and looking for a caring, loving, knowledgeable vet office and pet hospital for there furbabies to go there. As long as I have my pet this is the only place I will take her to. They take there time with your pet to help them fill safe and to make there owners fill confortable as well. I can't say enough great things about this office because they all are wonderful people who really care about animals. Thank all of you for the best care that you give to my little furbaby.

This was the best experience I’ve ever had with a veterinarian clinic. In general, I love the work that veterinarians do and have had good experiences throughout the years. My visit to Oakwell took my puppy’s care to an entirely new level. Thorough, kind and articulate with recommendations and observances. I can’t say enough good about Dr. Sims and her team. The Office culture was excellent. BARBARA was a champ for putting up with my rambunctious pudelpointer.

There is not enough words to express our gratitude to everyone at Oakwell. From the moment Bella became a patient, she was treated with exceptional care, compassion, and respect. Dr. Rachel Maness guided us through every stage of Bella's health with honesty, professionlism, and genuine kindness. She took the time to answer our questions, explain our options, and helped us make the most difficult decision a pet owner can face.
Jessica Wishart, RVT, and veterinary assistant Sydney Jackson were an incredible source of comfort when they came to our home to help Bella cross the Rainbow Bridge. The calm presence, compassion, and respect for both Bella and our family made an unimaginable day just a little easier. We will never forget the dignity, tenderness, and love they showed our precious girl.
Although our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing Bella received the very best care throughout her life. We are also thankful that our dog, Jasper, continues to receive outstanding care from the wonderful team at Oakwell.
If you are looking for a veterinary practice that truly cares about both their patients and the families who love them, we wholeheartedly recommend Oakwell. Thank you for loving Bella as much as we did. We will be forever grateful.

I called because I am so worried about my little dogs issue. I have an emergency but not super severe. So they can't make me an appointment to Monday. What if she could bleed internally before then? They said, "take her to the airport vet". I am ABSOLUTELY NOT since I heard their awful reviews plus previous vets killing my maltese. This is the only vet I trust. The one star is because Ive had 3 dogs spayed here and Ive spent ALOT OF MONEY for them to talk to me like Im a piece of trash. I understand they are booked but they could have squeezed me in for a quick exam. If they absolutely couldn't, they did not have to talk to me like I'm a nobody I have discovered that NO vet cares about your animal or you. No matter how much "business" you give them. Now i have to wait til Monday before anyone could see her. And HOPE for the best. Im sick at my stomach over this.

I cannot recommend Oakwell Animal Hospital highly enough! The entire experience was exceptional from start to finish.
It began with Traci, the Customer Service Representative, who was incredibly accommodating and managed to schedule an appointment for my pet within just two hours of my call. Once we arrived, Jessica, the Licensed Veterinary Technician, was wonderfully friendly, gentle, and caring, making us feel completely at ease. Dr. Sims was equally amazing—she provided outstanding treatment and took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process afterward, patiently answering every single question I had.
You can truly tell that everyone who works here loves their career and has a genuine passion for animals. They have earned a lifelong customer, and I will always return here for the care of my pets!

Oakwell is the best and only place I will take my baby angels minature schnauzers. Dr. Sims and crew are compassionate and treated my babies as if they were her own. She talks to you in a way that makes you feel comfortable in making your own decisions while simply getting guidance from her based on options. She is also humble, empathetic, down to Earth, and makes your pets feel at home. Highly recommend!

My 1 1/2 year old Yorkie receives the best care at Oakwell. The doctors and the staff are thorough, kind, gentle and well educated in their profession. I would have loved to have had them in my corner with my previous little Yorkie, who unfortunately passed away unexpectedly at age 3 during an exploratory surgery.

I’ve taken several of my rescue animals to Oakwell over the last few years and have always been very happy with their care. The employees there are truly outstanding and knowledgeable. I had recently been bottle feeding a tiny litter of 3 abandoned kittens, when the little girl suddenly fell very ill. Oakwell managed to fit me in very quickly for an appointment, and Dr. Jessica Sims was the vet on call. She and her techs were extremely quick and efficient with the necessary tests, and discovered the kittens had Parvo. She thoroughly talked me through all my options, as this is a very deadly disease to kittens, and I had 4 other adult cats at home to worry about exposing as well. The whole team was so overwhelmingly informative and patient and compassionate in helping me through this heartbreakingly difficult visit. I will forever be grateful for all their incredible kindness. You could not ask for better veterinary care in our area or anywhere else.

Wish I could have left more stars!!! First appointment here.
From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted by Traci who acknowledge my fur-baby by name, which impressed me. In a short few minutes, Ms. Rita appeared and escorted us back to the room. Ms. Rita was friendly and caring. I felt so at ease speaking to her about my dog and concerns. Dr. Maness really impressed me how she made sure my stressed out demon dog wasn't under any more stress then he needed to be already. Her patience she had with my lil dog was unbelievable. From the moment I walked in, I could tell I was in the right place and after the appointment I had all my concerns and fears handle by a TEAM that cares .
Oakwell went above and beyond. Proud to call them my Vet.
