I couldn't ask for more from the kind folks over at CareFirst! My dog Duke is a relatively new patient and so far the level of service has been outstanding. Dr. Joe Gordon and Dr. Page Wages have both been great, and yesterday I came in at 5:35pm with a small emergency and instead of charging me for the after-5:30 emergency fee (which they had every right to do) they rushed Duke right in and were able to get him fixed up in 15 minutes. It is apparent from the entire staff that they really care about your animals and are not ... read more
Best vet in town, hands down! Dr. Page Wages takes amazing care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats! I trust this practice implicitly. The quality of service is worth every dime. All the staff at CareFirst show genuine love to my pets (who are like kids to me)... and it warms my heart to no end! :) I've never had a vet that my animals WANT to go to... okay...and maybe "want" is a bit of a stretch :) ...but they are certainly given a plethora of attention and amazing care when they go. :) Dr. Page Wages is so good - she has a sixth s... read more
Dr wages is a great doctor. She is very caring, honest, and only does tests that are truly needed We took our lab puppy to her after being told by NCSU that we needed to do $3000 in test. Dr Wages said she was too young for the test and to wait until she was 4 months. She worked with us and did a lot of research for us our side the office visit. Recently we took our 10yr old dog to a Pet ER because of dehydration. They said it looked like she had liver failure. They wanted to do $600 in test. I took her to Dr wages the n... read more
Not only did they fit me in for an appointment the day after my Great Pyrenees got off a cargo plane from South Korea, but they were so amazingly sensitive to her state of mind that I came back for grooming services. Here's how it went. I get back to the US from being stationed overseas with my husband, and realize that I have left all the important dog records/Heartgard/treats/collars, etc in a bag, on the kitchen table... in Korea. Most of it I could do without, but not the Heartgard--not in the Southern states! They no... read more
I have had only one experience so far with CareFirst Oberlin and it has been fantastic! They gave our newly adopted, adult Great Pyrenees his first bath and nail trim, and did a great job - he is so soft now and smells great! And so cute with his purple bandana! I was impressed with the customer service from start to finish - from scheduling to pickup. Not to mention they were able to get him in on short notice, their convenient hours, and I felt the pricing was more than reasonable compared to some other places I had checke... read more
I've been taking my pets to CareFirst Animal Hospital at Oberlin for years. I drive from Hillsborough to take my pets to CareFirst because I want excellent vet care for my pets and that is what they get from CareFirst. Dr. Wages, Dr. Gordon and Dr. Sawyer have all treated my pets and provided top notch care. The staff is excellent. I like that the practice can take care of the ultrasound needs of my cat that has heart issues (I don't have to go elsewhere or wait for the mobile unit to show up on a certain day). When ... read more
If you want your dog to be in good hands and actually be cared for the way you described for them to be, do not come here. My dog had TPLO surgery 2 weeks before we dropped him off. He had strict care instructions and we told them many times that he has to be walked with his help- me -up harness just for them to deliver him to us without a leash and without holding onto his harness. They first give us the wrong bed so he was obviously not in the correct crate and then we were told that he was also let out with other dogs whe... read more
Business response:
We are sorry to hear that you left feeling this way, especially given Nash's recent TPLO surgery. We understand how important it is for owners to know their pets' post-operative instructions are being followed. During Nash's stay, he was assigned to a veterinary technician, just as our hospitalized patients are. Our staff documented that his Help 'Em Up harness was used for walks, and there was a reminder posted on his run instructing staff to use the harness whenever he was taken outside. The harness was removed while he wa... read more
I came in for an obvious (to me) ACL tear and they did nothing. I had to call back afterwards and CRY on the phone to get the imaging done to confirm my suspicion. This is only one of several very alarming things. They are horribly incompetent. From the distracted and poorly trained/practiced doctors to the terrible and rude vet techs. On top of being bad at their jobs, they don't even respond with alacrity or even pretend to like their jobs. More importantly they prescribe incorrect drugs or drugs with incorrect dosage ins... read more
I was accused of being, and I quote "an obsessive stalker who groped" the breadwinner of the hospital and other silly things I did not commit. After I denied all accounts, proof of these accusations were not provided so I was sent to one of the other locations (was only there for 4 mo) and I was accused yet again of giving a hospitalized patient their IV medications "not the right way" and also by being rude to clients. It was quite clear that I was being forced out. I was told to either write a resignation letter or be ... read more
