Animal Hospitals in Bend

“I am writing to thank the Urgent Care Clinic at the Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon for the outstanding care they gave to my 17-year-old cat Opus.

Opus has several age-related issues, including hyperthyroidism and hypertension (high blood pressure), so when I saw a swelling on the right side of his face while I was on vacation in Central Oregon, I contacted my home veterinarians and asked if they thought he should receive urgent care...and they said “yes!”

I had heard great things about the Urgent Care Clinic at VRC, so I took Opus to their west side office, where I was immediately and graciously greeted in their lovely waiting room...which offered snacks and beverages, in case the waiting time was extended!

The waiting time actually quite brief, and Opus was quickly and expertly evaluated by Dr. Rosemary Traylor, whose thorough diagnostic process considered his pre-existing conditions and his advanced age. In the end, Dr. Traylor suspected a tooth abscess, and her lab tests confirmed that diagnosis. She was able to extract some of the accumulated infection and reduce the swelling, and upon her direction, her technician Nicki immediately administered Opus’ first dose of antibiotics and pain relievers.

Both Dr. Traylor and Nicki handled Opus with the gentle and expert care that an elderly and infirm cat needs in order to successfully recover from a menacing infection, and within 24 hours, his condition had improved remarkably. In addition, I received a call the next day from Paige at the clinic, inquiring about Opus’ condition, and assuring me that their records of our visit would be forwarded to my home veterinarians and also to the veterinary dentist in our community.

I feel that the VRC Urgent Care Clinic provided the absolute best care that I could have obtained for my beloved Opus, and all for a very reasonable price. I give the VRC Urgent Care Clinic my highest recommendation!“

“We love the separate area for cats and the calming blanket? Dr. Jaime is wonderful and our kitty loves her too!“

“I find Dr Rex to be a wonderful caring vet. He tells you direct what is wrong with your pet and the alternatives to help them. They are fairly priced for their care. I will recommend them to anyon.“

“Friendly and professional staff!! They got Hercules the care and medicine he needed so we could get back to our lives quickly! Took him in after my lil guy had been sick for a few days. They held him for observation only a few hours and already had him diagnosed correctly. We both slept through the night last night!! If you live in the Bend area, I absolutely recommend this animal hospital! Thank you for caring for Hercules!“

“My family and our furry friends have been cared for from HDV for over 30 years and have had the most professional service possible along with so much love and personal care. Horses and Dogs. Thank you Dr. Oddo, Dr. Post, Amber, Amanda, and everyone there.“

“We have been coming to Alpine Vet for years. They always take expert care of both of my dogs. The staff are professional and accessible. The reminder system is a lifesaver for myself.“
