Reviews of Haverford Animal Hospital (Veterinarian)

Kim Phillips

Haverford Animal Hospital cares only for cat and dogs. We have been serving the area for over 50 years .

told me they didn’t accept emergencies at this time but it’s an emergency hospital...the person gave me attitude and told me to go to the cochehocken one yet i don’t live near that at all and don’t drive. i told her that and all she said is okay..very useless and clearly main liners work there.

This vet came up during a google search and I decided to write a review that is long overdue. I had a pet rat who was having a little trouble breathing in the am yet had been fine the day before. Rats are very prone to respiratory infections, as I’ve had experience with this before and can be cured with antibiotics. It was a Saturday, so unfortunately, my regular small animal vet at my regular office was not in. I called this vet and asked if they saw small pets, specifically rats and I was told that they did. I brought my rat here, thinking I could leave with the antibiotics and my rat would be feeling better that afternoon. The first thing that irritated me was that they kept referring to my rat as “he” even though I corrected them saying she was a girl multiple times. I found it very disconcerting that they claimed to know about rats when they didn’t even know the gender (male and female rats are very easy to tell apart due to their anatomy). Secondly, the vet was trying to convince me that my rat had cancer (overnight and with no other symptoms than a wheeze...). Long story short, I was bullied into putting my pet to sleep that day and received attitude from the staff about my reluctance with that decision. In the end, I had no other offices to take my pet to that day and knew she would not make it til Monday. I still feel incredibly guilty for taking her here. These vets did not know about rats and then slapped me very unsympathetically with a huge bill for an emergency visit and the injection. I now have a cat and a dog and would never take them here.

Dr. Royster is very compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and concerns himself not only with the animals, but maybe more importantly, the pet owners and their pocketbooks.

Dr. Royster is very kind and professional. He seems to have a magic touch with animals. My dog can be a little skittish but he handles her beautifully. Dr. Royster is very responsive to our calls and provides detailed reports after each visit. He is very reasonably priced and provides excellent service. His staff is top notch, friendly and courteous. They are very sweet to my dog. I would highly recommend Dr. Royster to anyone looking for a veterinarian who truly cares about the pet and the owner.

Dr Royster has been my dogs vet for 20 years. He's great with my babies and his staff is top notch! I don't mind driving from where I live to him because I know his recommendations will be honest and with my pups well being in mind.
