Reviews of Oaklawn Animal Hospital (Veterinarian)

Kim Parrish

Doctor is down to Earth and really knowledgeable. She saved my pup. The staff is accomodating. My pups and I could not get more pleased with this vet.

Maria Vallone

Wonderful and tender care with my cat even thought she can be a toughie! Excellent staff and management. Sleepover accommodations for cats too! Highly recommended

Len Maloney

We recently have to put our beloved basset Baxter down and the kindness and compassion shown to us during this very difficult time from the Oaklawn staff was absolutely heartwarming. It made a difficult time a little bit easier and I can't thank them enough. Dr Courtney took amazing care of Baxter since he was 8 weeks old like he belonged to her. Dr Victoria was a kind and understanding as if she attended to Bax for his 10 years. Thanks for your kind words....

I've been bringing all of my furkids to Dr. Rebensdorf for almost 20 years. I don't trust just anyone with my babies. She's a great Vet and her staff is wonderful.

The care the give my dog is superb

Ed Pelli

I've been Oaklawn Animal Hospital for 3-4 year's now. They were instrumental in saving the life of my cat when she became infected with a flea outbreak. Now, my dog Rocco receives his care from there, as well. The doctors and all staff members are exceptional in their courtesy, care, and knowledge! I have great respect for Dr. Rebensdorf and her practice and highly recommend her services. With much appreciation, Ed Pelli

Joe Catania

Just like any other vet it's about the money

Darlene Harding

Excellent staff and doctors. I had to bring my 10 month old husky in after showing signs of lethargy and not eating. Both Crystal Wagoner and Dr. Lenk were outstanding and extremely helpful. They immediately took x-rays and discovered a blockage which required emergency surgery. Thankfully, their quick response and recommendations saved my huskys life. Crystal followed up with me throughout her recovery period and Dr. Lenk monitored Akira (my husky) until she made a full recovery. I am so thankful for the vets and staff at Oaklawn Animal Hospital.

Trudy Pisaturo

Great people'

Tammy Graves

Love that they can fit us in in a pinch & don't overmedicate! The techs and vet staff are wonderful!!!

David Pontrelli

We have been coming here since 1985, almost the time Dr. Courtney Rebensdorf took over. My wife and I have always admired Dr. Courtney's bedside manner, and her concern for each of our beloved pets. We have always felt confident with taking our pets to Oaklawn Animal Hospital, and will continue to do so. They have been very good to us in the last 30 years. I would certainly recommend them to anyone. Dr. Rebensdorf always had a very good and personable staff, and that means a lot to us. Plus, we are very pleased with the care our dogs have received. For that, we thank you.

Gail Cafferty

The doctors and staff are excellent and know their patients. When taking care of our large, gentle dog, they are calming and kind. In addition, they are professional and courteous to us humans.

Really nice doctors and nurses are very friendly and helpful

Kristina Pellegrino

HIGHLY RECOMEND YOU SEE THIS HOSPITAL. I was extremely pleased with my experience at Oaklawn animal hospital. I took my long haired Persian there for the first time yesterday. The nurse was extremely gentle and thorough with violet and the doctor was amazing. I did not bring my previous vet records that I had for my cat because I was very unhappy with how they treated my cat and myself, but, when I arrived they had them already on hand faxed over which was wonderful. They both took their time to listen to me examine and explain treatment for my baby. The price was absolutely reasonable considering what we received ( initial visit cost $55, lab test, 2 antibiotics and a big bag of food). All in all hats off to the staff at Oaklawn animal hospital. I will be taking by baby there from now on.

Carolyn Niemiec

EXCELLENT care and nice people Price was fair

Terry/alexia Harris/glasco

It is great if you have been there already. Not for a 1st time too expensive

Sprite

Expensive for what you get and filthy since new owner took over 2 animal hospitals in RI. (?). We left. I had to ask for table to be cleaned all the time because they were visibily dirty...any dog can pick up anything if not sanitized properly. Assembly line care in,my opinion.

Vera Iacampo

I have been taking my fur baby Dante to Dr. Courtney since he was a puppy and he just turned 5yrs old. Dr Courtney is an expert in her field and she always educates me about Dante's condition and makes me feel very comfortable asking questions about his care. She is very conservative with her care and tries all the noninvasive treatment first. I also appreciate that when she cannot remedy his ailment she will get us to the proper specialist . Dante has had luxating patella surgery at Oaklawn animal hospital and has a specialist for his Inflammatory Bowel Disease at OSV Hospital. His specialist are excellent however it is Dr Courtney that coordinates the entire team making certain Dante will always receive the best care. She continues to double and triple check his treatment plan and answers all my numerous questions. I am so grateful for her assistance with Dante's well and sick care . It is so difficult to have a dog on daily medicines and ongoing monitoring with labs and testing. Dr Courtney has made an unpleasant situation easy for me to manage . I am a retired health professional and people / animals ....it us all the same... Knowledge and treatments come from a textbook ... Dr Courtney adds compassion, care and love to the mix while always involving Dante's family in the decision process . We love her and her staff both at Oaklawn Animal Hospital and Cranston Animal Hospital . She is an asset to the veterinary profession and we see her because Dante deserves the best!!!!!!

Becky Provensal

My dog was hit by a car and is in so much pain and cant move. I was charged almost $700 just for them to tell me he had a dislocated hip. Not once going in was I able to talk to the vet directly. They did not help me bring my dog to the car. They have offered no treatment or suggestions, they even told me they had no suggestions on how to help the poor thing go to the bathroom in his condition. They said he might need surgery, but wont see him for another 10 days meanwhile he can't even move his body comfortably to drink water and still had not been able to go to the bathroom.

Peter Deffet

Caring staff and veterinarians.

TESSA AUBIN

My boyfriend received a voucher from RIMV and I was so glad that they accepted them here as it was so close to me. They treated us great, I was very happy with the services. They loved my cat and called him "The sexy gray man" (he is pretty sexy) I saw another review of someone who used the voucher saying they overcharged her. I was not overcharged for anything at all. I was charged exactly what the voucher said! My cat is doing great! If anyone ever questions spaying or neutering a cat, don't! My cat is amazing now. No more spraying or meowing all night long and he is also very playful and more lovable now and he is 8 years old.

Carolyn Burger

Great place to take your pets! Always friendly and knowledgeable. Never much of a wait.

Gino Reyes

Friendly location

Ronald Dunleavy

Very professional group of people. I always feel my dog is well cared for.

Celia Girard

My cat had surgery today and came home looking and feeling great. The vet and staff were great

John Richer

Friendly kind staff. Wouldn't consider taking my dogs anywhere else.

Andrew Lind

Always helpful and willing to make sure your animal is taken care properly

Stefany Reed

Dr. Stella and her care assistant were so kind to our beloved, cranky cat. I feel like Oaklawn truly focuses on the well being of the patient and not on selling you add on services like you find at so many other vets. Keep up the good work everyone. We'll be back.

Arthur Viola

Owned by the same doctor that owns Cranston animal hospital. Dr Courtney is great and everyone who works there is really nice and helpful. Dr Victoria, who is handling my dog when we go to Oaklawn, is great also. I moved an hour away about two years ago but happily make the drive so my dog gets the benefit of these wonderful doctors and staff.

Ryan Costa

Have been taking my pets here for years now. Everyone hates spending money but it has to be done. Seems reasonable. When I was contemplating putting my kitty down the vet was not pushy in pushing for more life saving measures like chemo. Seems reasonable for tick/flee and heartworm. I like that they give you a call before your due to go in as a reminder. I've always dealt with dr. Stella. Very intelligent and knowledge. Would recommend to friends and family.

Gina Mosunic

Best care in RI for pets!

Kelly McCormick

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I trust them with my little fur baby.

Guy Peter

Great staff .

Steve R

We have been going to Oaklawn Animal Hospital for almost 15 years between our last dog Mitzi, (RIP) and Brandi. Dr. Lenk has been our primary doctor here for a long time and is always wonderful. Brandi can be a pretty neurotic chihuahua mix and they always make her comfortable. Occasionally visits can start a few minutes late, but they will give you plenty of time to address concerns. A few years ago we left due to cost concerns, but found the other animal hospital we went to was not as clean, and the care was substandard there. We remain happy clients of Oaklawn, and will gladly remain so, especially with Dr. Lenk. The front desk staff is very nice as well, and many of them have been there for many years.

Shae DeCesare

Brought my daughter's ESA (cat) there with a low income voucher to be neutered. I have never seen a place that nickel and dimes you like this one. Males are usually cheaper but was being charged the female rate, mandatory tests, and extra shots had me already paying out of pocket almost $100, he hasn't even had the surgery yet which will add, on the low end; almost $100 more. By the time it is done I would be paying as much as if I didn't qualify for the voucher program. After today's booster shot and getting ANOTHER out of pocket cost I am going elsewhere for his surgery.

Tammy Collins

Excellent veterinary practice - great staff, kind and knowledgeable veterinarians

My dogs love going here. They get excited just driving past the office, lol. I wont take my pets anywhere else.

Steven Bienenfeld

Courtney & her entire staff (other Docs, front desk and back-room techs) are always there with compassion, prompt advice service). This is the best animal hospital we have ever used!! Steve B. & Jean

lawrence gould

Wonderful place. I immediately felt I'd come to the right vetenary office. Professional and friendly staff. Not expensive. Good parking. Just a Terrific experience. Most important my dog loved the place too. Stop looking, these are the vets your looking for.

Top Notch doctors

Jana Ashman

I have an eight month old puppy. She is a bichon mix. Over the course of 5 months i have called the hospital for various problems. The last one was due to fireworks going off and my pup was so scared I was scared. Every time I have called the hospital one of the vets calls me back and always always has a solution to my problem. It is very stressful getting a puppy and you want to do the best you can it is sooo helpful to know I have a reliable Animal Hospital to go to or call. I will also say we had her spayed and I was a nervous wreck they did an unbelievable job and it was soo easy to take care of her. This makes it much less stressful being a first time puppy owner. Thank you!!!!

Dr. Courtney and the rest of the Oaklawn team are a true pleasure to work with. As clients they are proactive, professional and enthusiastic. And as healthcare providers they are skilled, innovative and compassionate. They exemplify what all veterinary practices to be and we are proud to be able to help them continue to do amazing work

Jeannette Eddinger

They love your fur babies

Daniel Roy

All the doctors and assistants are very pleasant, and helpful , been going to Oaklawn Animal Hospital over 15 years. We presently bring our dog Daisy to have all her medical needs taken care of .My wife and I are very satisfied with the care and attention and great service we receive.

Tom Carley

I brought my dog in for his annual visit. About an hour after returning home, I recieved a voicemail from the veterinarian I had seen. The voicemail consisted of her laughing while telling me that my dogs lyme test came back positive. I thought it was extremely unprofessional, given the nature of the message. My dog is very important to me and i was left feeling like my dogs health was a joke. I've been going to Oaklawn Animal Hospital for many years, but only recently starting seeing a new veterinarian. I am upset and unsure if I will bring my dog back there for the additional testing he needs.

Don Cunningham

Everyone who works there are very nice

Morris Allan

Great staff, helpful and caring.

Joanne parillo

Family vet...althogh my dog is not much of a fan

Dexter Hofhines

We totally lucked out when we started bringing our Shih Tzu here for appointments. As transplants in the area we have to rely on reviews and word of mouth to find reliable places, and I can say we for sure found one here. We mostly worked with Abbey but I imagine the whole outfit is fantastic. It's not just that they take care of my pet, but that they go the extra mile in many ways. From friendly reminders about appointments (which I may have forgotten...) to figuring out all of the ins and outs of extensive requirements to bring our pet to Hawaii, they do it all and I never even asked for the help. You can't go wrong coming here, an honest 5 star rating, nothing else to say.

Anthony Moore

We've been taking our Noah here since he was a baby. The staff is great and Dr. Lenk is amazing with him and very thorough. I highly recommend Oaklawn Animal Hospital.

Hugo Otero

Great staff

Kathy Smith

Great Dr.

Margo Gallucci

I absolutely love Dr Lenk!! She is very thorough while examining my cat! We have been going here for 5 years now! From a chriptorchid surgery to picking up his monthly Revolution,the staff is always courteous, it's always immaculate and clean and you can call them about anything that worries you regarding your fur baby! Thay s They always have time to explain! They are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m m

Elish Raniowski

I have gone here for many years and have referred friends to bring their pets here. Everyone is great with the animals but I adore Dr. Courtney! She is the best around!

ana feole

Been to other vets in the same area Atwood animal, Warwick, etc... I bring both my puppy and my 8 yr old here and honestly I stayed because when I call there is an answer to my question when I need an appointment they make one not a month away a few day maybe, if not right away and when my dogs are there they feel comfortable, the older one has dogs anxiety barks and gets very loud, they let me go threw the back door if there are dogs in the waiting area, that's big for me. When we took our puppy home there she was administered the appropriate shots and up to date on everything thanks to there help and the price was reasonable. ( Comming from a part time worker&& full time student ) they do a good job and make me and the dogs feel at ease, I recommend them. -- also I'm a providence resident Not a "" Cranston Snob "" as seen from post below!

Debbie Waldeck

Love!!!

cecilia santos

Everyone here is beyond friendly. My dog for some reason has been a bit aggressive when the Vet walks in, and the technicians have ALWAYS been amazing at helping him stay calm. I’ve had to give him trazadone prior to our visits and this last appointment we got help from Daniel who was AMAZING at keeping him calm. I’m sure it was a combination of his genuine care for the animals and the fact that he speaks Spanish, Biscuit immediately relaxed after hearing something so familiar. I can’t say enough about how great the entire staff and the doctors are. My entire office brings there animals here, will continue to recommend your guys to everyone I know. Thank you for being so caring and amazing!!!

Joe Arias

Got great service Vet explained everything going on with Sybil and we have a great plan to help Sybil (our 15 yr old cat), deal with Kidney disease. Only thing was her nails didn't get trimmed.

Jessica Ruggieri

Dr. Lenk is the BEST! VERY thorough with my Nugget (12 week old kitten). Her assistant was also super & great with him. Receptionists polite, & explained all paperwork, etc. Highly recommend!

Logan Cahill

the vets called my dog fat they cut he nails to short and tried to charge us for the nail cutting that we didnt need my dog is on weight and healthy

Chris Edmonds

Top notch Vets!

Amanda Iacampo

I have been coming here since Dante was born 5yrs ago and I am a retired nurse. Although people medicine is slightly different I do know the value of compassion. Dante has had a rough 5 yrs and still has many problems Inflammatory bowel disease , luxating patella surgery, frequent ear infections etc.. We have also accessed care at other speciality hospitals in the area. Dr Courtney's clinical expertise is outstanding and she is so compassionate and caring. Most importantly, her staff and techs (Lil Courtney, Ashley, Maria, Fran, Christina ,Amy,Sonja, Michelle and the girls names I can't recall) are outstanding. Dante is very difficult when he is ill yet the way they approach him makes things so much easier and stress free. I do not know what I would do without Dr. Courtney and her crew!!! No one wants a sick fur baby, but the care they give him makes it so much easier to handle. Thank you from our hearts!! Vera , Amanda & Dante XO

Michael McCarthy

I can't even begin to say how amazing Dr. Courtney Rebensdorf has been for my pets and family. She has treated my wife and my dog Dante many times over the years as well as our pet rabbits. Due to the many issues we had with health issues with some of our rabbits she would even see them for free and not charge us. After hours one night she let us bring our dog Dante who seemed to be feeling very bad. She took us right in and examined him and decided he needed hospitalization at ocean state animal hospital. Dante was diagnosed with heart failure and was saved because she was willing to see him after hours. I would give her my business for as long as she stays practicing. Thank you Dr. Rebensdorf from the bottom of our hearts!

Jennifer Alves

My mom has been taking her & our animal's here forever.. I myself have taken my last an new dog here. Awesome doctors an staff!!!!

Ken Calamar

They treat your pets with respect and give great service.

Virginia Newcomb

I have been taking my dogs to Oaklawn Animal Hospital for over 20 years and stayed because the vets are very professional, all of them. They are not snobs. The staff are also very kind, professional and helpful at all times. I have never had a bad experience at Oaklawn. They have always gone above and beyond to take care of my dog when she is sick or needs regular tx. I LOVE them, they are the best bar none! I am moving away and will miss them very very much. Take my word for it, Oaklawn Animal Hospital has American Animal Hospital Association accredidation, they are the best!!! Ginny and Penny

Don DeLuca

You couldn't ask for better doctors and staff ! Would never put my trust in anyone else.

Norman Neveux

Great staff at the front desk. The Vet Tech and Dr were fantastic. They made Tiki feel so relaxed.
