Akron Veterinary Referral & Emergency Center

They are spectacular there. I first went there over 8 years ago with an asthmatic cat. The staff was kind, caring, and generally magnificent. I clearly remember how wonderful the ER vet and the internal medicine vet were the day my 15 year old Nick died of his asthma in January 2007. I still have the card the ER and staff sent in sympathy. There are always there to listen and care. Now I have a severely allergic cat and a cat who just had pancreatis. They were superb in ER and in Internal Medicine when I brought Tuck in on August 15 and continue to be caring, loving and supportive as we struggle through the pancreatitis and recovery process. They adore Matt, the allergic boy, and are always there for my frantic phone calls and visits. The BEST place for emergencies and after hour care is here- kudos to Dr Kollar, Dr Griffith, Dr. Crandall, Dr Boyce, and ALL of them- and especially to the tech and reception staff who so capably deal with my neuroses and tears. Love them ALL! A tad more

when my dog got hot by a car I took him here and they took him back immediately. He had a shattered hip and a broken femer. they took such good care of him. they were so loving anf understanding. I called every hour or so to check on him and they uodated me everytime with no problem. They also called me after his surgery to update me. i would reccomend them to EVERYONE. They treated him like a person and not just another animal! more

Have had two bad experiences here (same vet.) One dog was misdiagnosed and the other had respiratory arrest after anesthesia - fortunately recovered - (dog had had 3 previous surgeries and one after this with no problems - so don't know what happened there.) Plus, in checking the bill, found I'd been charged for 11 bottles of $30 eye drops. Will use Metro if there's ever a next time. more

I found the vet, and staff to be very professional, and caring. The facility was clean. I would reccommend them to soomeone in need. PROS: 24 hour service for Emergencies CONS: none that I know of more
