Oakland Park Animal Hospital

I have been bringing my pets here for years. until now. Brought in my ferret who is in rapidly declining health for emergency visit and was turned away because the Doctor "was leaving for a seminar" Please stop advertising as an emergency vet

Our bunny has been here twice, this is an old school vet. Team is helpful and courteous. Only suggestion would be to clean it up, modernize some aspects.

Oh wow they were amazing I'm so glad I took my jack there they were so educated, nice, personable, friendly and professional, I was happy with the results, the vet was very helpful and professional and very knowledgeable. Everyone from the staff were amazing, they even groomed my pup, the groomer was amazing and extremely sweet. I will be going back because I know my dog will be taken care of with lots of love. And did i mention there prices are very reasonable and affordable. Thank you OPAH!

Horrible experience. Highly inefficient front staff with 0 idea how to schedule animals. For them, someone waiting 2+ hours is normal behavior, could not care less and do not make any effort to better schedule the animals. The Vet I'm sure is qualified, but more concerned with profiting and scheduling as many animals as possible on paper than actually realistically understanding who can be seen

My dog has pretty bad allergies. I have seen my previous vet 3 times regarding the issue and they couldn't figure out anything. Forth time around I decided to see a specialist and I'm happy I gave a chance to Oakland Park Animal Hospital. The stuff and the doctor were very pleasant. The doctor spend over an hour with me to explain everything. He explained what signs tell the dogs have allergies and not skin issues. He went over all the options. Prescribed all the necessary medication and went over food options. He was very patient and answered all my questions.

Dr. Spencer Ratnoff is absolutely amazing! He's THE BEST veterinarian I have ever seen. I brought in "Wilson" the tiny finch and he very quickly assessed his condition, took a culture and showed me how to handle him to apply medication to his foot. ONE WEEK LATER it was so much better! Honestly I would never go anywhere but Oakland Park Animal Hospital.

I'm so glad to have found such a caring doctor and staff. It really means a lot and you can see how much they love all the animals. Thank you so much- Love, Jennifer Wilson and Nibbles

When I first called to make a first time appointment Kelly was super nice, super helpful and it made me feel at ease. However upon arriving there the afternoon staff were something else. Started basically with what's wrong with him. I had sent his medical records(bringing him here was for a second opinion and possible ultrasound) I explained everything.

The lady at the front desk asks "well how old is he" I said he's 10 she replied "well your lucky pitbulls usually don't live past 7" I said look at him there's something wrong and was met with maybe it's age. That's when I thanked them for their disservice and said I'll find another vet. Anyway, my point is the attitude is wrong, you guys didn't even take him in for evaluation before being condescending. Yes old age affects us all, but my dog was not like this a couple of days ago he's an active, running playing at the beach kind of dog.

I am so grateful to find Oakland Park Animal Hospital. My dog had an emergency wherein he hit his eye very badly on Christmas Eve. Dr. Ratnoff's staff was kind and even stayed longer than they should have to help take care of my boy. Dr. Ratnoff was kind and took his time in assessing my boy, was patient answering all of my questions and I am grateful I found them. Thank you Oakland Park Animal Hospital Staff! Brewzzi Thanks you too! These pics are 12 hours after one another.

Critical: Professionalism Someone gives appointments and someone else in the office says that we do not know who confirms or canceled your appointment. Very unprofessional for the cost.

Your staff is awesome! Joey never feels scared.worried? Yes- but scared? Never, and that's because he feels secured in your care

My dog Bruno And Heidi been there and never had a problem with the staff Cristina and them never haves a problem nice and loving

Depending on who is at the desk will determine your experience. I've visited before and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. **$120 emergency vet fee BTW** Tonight (11/16/21) I came in during what is considered emergency hours, with an actual emergency. I arrived with another person but walked in the door first; the doctor on staff looked me dead in the eyes and never said a word, but acknowledged the customer behind me as the person clearly was client picking up their pet.

That is not a problem, I tried not to be rude and interrupt, and waited to be spoken to. I waited for approximately 5 minutes, never acknowledged, never briefly asked if I was having an emergency, picking up, nothing. It was exceptionally rude and left my blood boiling. After clearly being ignored, I left and called around for other emergency vets in the area.

I was willing to pay their high emergency fee because they are closer to my home and I wanted to get my dog help ASAP, but I ended up driving further away to the Pet Emergency Center on Cypress Creek Rd. The receptionist had leagues better customer service and explained their protocols, wait time to be seen, and their emergency visit fee which is much lower than OPAH.

I will never come to this hospital and spend money again, but I'm sure the vet on staff could care less as his practice is making a killing overcharging customers simply trying to care for their animals.

Every single person in this hospital has been very sweet and caring. I brought in my guinea pig for a huge abscess and he's doing so much better already. Dr Ratnoff and his team were so patient, knowledgeable, and they taught us everything to be able to make sure he gets better at home. Even though this place is pretty far from where I live, the drive is well worth it. If you have a sick pet I highly recommend you take them here. Thank you to the Dr and entire staff for helping and being so compassionate!

Coming here was probably the best decision we've made. The entire team here is incredible and caring. The dog even loves when we come. #winning. If you are looking for a vet the Oakland Park Animal Hospital is the place to go!

Very small family oriented animal hospital with reasonable pricing and amazing customer service. I would highly recommend this practice as the Dr. and staff really have your pet's best interest in mind and explain everything in detail there are no surprises or gimmicks here! I feel better knowing the Dr. Is on call 24/7!

Everyone on the team was gentle with my hurt ferret, they care about your pet as if they were their own. So happy to have found them, we will be coming here for our regular vet visits.

My cat was sick and had to make an emergency appointment. Arrived there at midnight and Dr Spencer was waiting for us. Can not thank him enough for that. He took care of my boy and explained everything to me what might happened. After a couple of treatment my four legged friend was healthy again. All the staff are nice people.

We took our boxer to Oakland Park Animal Hospital at 10:45 PM because she was limping and whimpering in pain. Dr. Ratnoff met ushered and examined her. He took X-rays to confirm the damage to her knee. He was wonderful with her and eased her pain.. I would recommend Dr. Ratnoff to anyone. He explained everything in a non-clinical manner so we would understand.

DR. Spencer and staff saved my dog, Lola's life last year. Even though she is with my ex now, I'm Forever grateful how he saved her life. With his fast thinking and skills in an emergency, I felt confident that Lola was going to pull through. He always showed Lola so much love, compassion and care. My favorite Christine also was there by my side last year and part of this year with such compassion for my baby girl Lola!

Dr. Spencer was there for us when we needed his advice for what was best for our Jaxon, not us!! Of course we listened and had to let our baby go, but he is caring enough to do the hard choices,and what's best for your pet(s). The staff is like an extended family....

Last weekend had to bring in my harlee in for emergencie on the busy Saturday midday the staff got her in in no time at all and was able too do blood test on her and find the problem and they where able to get her the proper shots within a few hours later she was doing 100% better Dr Rattnoff and staff have been a great team for my 3 beagles over the the last 5 Year’s just wanted to say thank you.what started it was we used Dr S... on US1 for 20 Year’s had a wonderful dog George go to his vets office brought him in one day for problems they said he had diabetes and gave him only 6 months to live because he was a 130# dog and two shots a day had to go back with one of our cats because he went to jail (was traped sent to BCAC) told the Dr about George still alive 6.5 Year’s latter all they said was SO I guess that’s what happens when you sell to a large company. So thanks again for the wonderful service from you and your staff Robbie singleton.

One of the few animal hospitals that treat rabbits. Service was excellent and my bunny has been doing way better since the last time I took him here. The doctors really know what they are doing and really care.

We love the staff at Oakland Park Animal hospital and Dr Ratnoff is the only vet for our pets! He is kind, personable, and cares. Highly recommend.

They are so caring and wonderful and make you feel right at home. It’s so hard to find Avian vets especially ones that really care for your bird and they are incredible!
