I don't think I can say enough good about Willamette Veterinary Clinic. My beloved cat Rango was hit by a car a bit over a month ago - his face and jaw was badly smashed up and required immediate life saving stabilization and subsequent surgery the next day. The doctor had to remove his upper jaw on one side, wife his lower jaw together, and, biggy of all - fix his tongue which was bit about 70% thru. So luckily for me, Dr Dan Lewer was on emergency that night - and later I found out he likes a challenge. And it was. Rango had to be tube fed for about 10 days, then following removal of the tube syringe fed (force fed?). I wasn't about to let him die, so if I had to shove food down his throat, so be it. I've been back now 3-4 times for a re-check - and been treated so well by Dr Lewer, who has been sensitive not only to the health of my cat, but also to my finances. It isn't cheap to go thru all this - but how can you put a price on the love of a pet? Dr Kalenius (sp?) has also been great and compassionate to work with when Dr Lewer wasn't in. Rango is doing very well now, has gained weight and eating and pooping regularly, and being turned into an indoor cat. He was already a loving way good cat, but all this nurturing has made him even more so. I feel so lucky to have such a great skilled Doctor and such a wonderful veterinary clinic that he landed at that night - brought in by a kind Good Samaritan who picked him up off the road (Circle Blvd) rather than let him lay there where the next car would have finished him off. Thanks so very much for my kitty back!

My friend took her cat here yesterday, she had something stuck in her throat and was not going to make it without medical care. The staff were extremely rude to her and told her they needed $200 immediately or they wouldn't do anything. Her only other option was to relinquish custody of her beloved kitty. They took her and told my friend that she could not adopt her back- "if she even makes it." She called back later that night and the next morning and they wouldn't even tell her if her cat was alive. My friend told them she would be writing a letter to the newspaper and her mother also called them. They finally told her if she came in tonight with $130 they would let her take the cat, and that they would not allow it after tonight. As a bystander, there is nothing more I can do than stress to others the importance of taking your beloveds to a place where they will be cared for and treated with compassion; not left to die on their counter if you don't have cash in your hand. This business was very unprofessional and lost multiple customers over this horrible disservice.

We have been seeing Dr. Justin Vaughn for the last 3 years: at each and every visit, we have been above and beyond impressed with him. We have two dogs, and we are people who appreciate individualized care and full explanation and informed consent. Dr. Vaughn always takes as much time as needed with us to explain and come up with individualized treatment plans that are right for us and our dogs. He has two qualities that are a rare combination to find: he is extremely competent as a veterinary doctor, AND he has superb bedside manner. We will be moving to another state soon and the hardest part of leaving will, by far, be having to lose such a wonderful vet. As for the clinic/hospital overall: the staff are always extremely courteous, prompt, efficient, the prices are reasonable, they are very good with follow-up phone calls and check-in's, and their facilities are always clean and comfortable for the pets. An excellent bonus about this clinic is that they are a 24 hour care facility, and the peace of mind knowing that your regular veterinary clinic can be there for you 24/7 is priceless. We have done everything at this clinic from routine spey, regular wellness checks, to both planned and emergency surgeries, and we have been impressed every step and level of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Justin Vaughn to anyone seeking an incredibly qualified, experienced, and compassionate vet for their "furry" family members.

My experience with Willamette Veterinary Hospital goes back many years. Drs. Callahan and Vaughn have been treating one of my cats who has a complex set of serious medical issues and she is doing surprisingly well. Should a problem arise during off hours, I know the hospital is always open. I can call and come in 24/7 (and have many times). In addition to having a doctor and staff on-call, all of my pet's medical records, medication/dosages, tests, x-rays are all right there which is so helpful and time-saving in an emergency. The facility is new, clean and up-to-date so they can handle issues quickly and with the latest medical options. The doctors always check in with me on critical issues to confirm that all is going well or whether changes need to be made. My pets are family to me, so it is reassuring to feel confident about where I take them for medical care.

I cannot say enough about this Hospital. We live at the coast so my first experience with them was when i had an emergency and my vet referred me to them, as it was after hours. They knew right away what it was, were so wonderful and caring. Subsequently, my vet started working there and I now drive all that way to see him, as he is the very best! Dr. Lewer is THE MAN!!! Having said that, everyone at this Hospital is wonderful, I have seen Dr. Vaughan also when Dr. Lewer wasn't available, and he is wonderful as well, can't say enough about how state of the art and great this Hospital is!!!! P.S. Someone said they had trouble getting a call back, and I see it was awhile ago, so I must note, that is the exact opposite of how they are now. They call and check after every procedure, and are most attentive....
