Raccoon Valley Animal Hospital: Mccafferty Tara DVM

Mar 2022

I've been going to RVAH for over 10 years. They are competent and caring professionals. They've taken very good care of a cat and 2 dogs now. I read the full reviews of the 3 people who gave poor ratings. One said they hung up after waiting (a whole) 5 minutes on hold and were indignant about having to wait to be seen once they arrived when they were granted an emergency appointment for their pet that wasn't even a patient normally at the hospital. Apparently they were so rude and belligerent they were denied service. As a nurse I can empathize with staff having to deal with that gem of a family member of the patient. #2 was mad the doctor had to postpone a neuter because of the dog's dental issue needing to be fixed first. Number three was pissed they needed to make an appointment to have their dog receive medication. How many doctors you know treat patients without seeing them first? Vets don't have crystal balls. Vets are DOCTORS of animal medicine. Just like people, sometimes pet appointments don't go as planned because they find things unexpectedly that take priority or take longer than planned. It's a hospital, not a hair salon or a fast food drive thru. Do you want good thorough care or an assembly line? If it's good thorough care then take your furbaby here.

I am just so happy with this Vet. My first visit was because my dogs vet wouldn’t see her for 3 days. They took Katy in that same day and yes she had an ear infection. Needless to say I left the other Vet. Today Katy had another one and I called and they took her right in. Any time would have been good but they fit her in. The staff is great as well. Thank you so much for getting Katy and her ears in quickly.!!

Until we moved to DE 3 years ago, RVAH had been our pets' healthcare provider for 30+ years. They earned our loyalty by providing a high level of professional, thorough, personalized care for our pets. We recently reconnected with them and it felt like we were coming home again. The docs and staff are the very best! We could not be more pleased and we highly recommend you consider them for your pets' healthcare needs. Carol & George Stull
