★★★★★ Love Dr. Vargas and the staff. You guys are awesome ❤️u uu u ★★★★★ Had a great experience taking our new puppy there... Very friendly staff and my Zoe didn't even realize that she was jabbed....Will be back for our follow up visits... Oh and her sister will be going there too...Mike K.Mike K. ★★★★★ I use for boarding and they have the best facilities and staff.Kathryn B.Kathryn B. ★★★★★ I took my fur babies to Orchid Springs Animal Hospital and I must say that they should be called an ANIMAL CARE CENTER & HOSPITAL, because Hospital doesn't say enough.They have a beautiful, clean, and well maintained facility.They can board our pets, have daycare, do acupuncture, dental cleaning, and even have a bone-shaped swimming pool!These pets are pampered.Now, I will get to the Vet and Vet Tech persons.THEY ARE AWESOME!My bichon, Tucker, is traumatized when going to the vet and groomers because of past bad experiences elsewhere.He went in today for his annual check up and was due for shots.I must say that his first experience with the Vet Tech, Jessica, was a great one. When Dr. Michelle Vereb entered to do his full exam, he felt relaxed enough that he allowed Jessica to hold him, and the doctor could do her exam and administer his scheduled immunization. We discussed his anxiety with lightning, thunder and fireworks. He was prescribed both a natural remedy to try and also a prescription (if absolutely needed) to calm him.Lillie, our 1year old Shih-Tzu, rolled around and was without a care in the world.She had her first check up and loved all the staff and was especially good with Jessica and Dr. Vereb.They went over every item I inquired about. They are informative and easy to understand. We were not rushed, and believe me, they were busy.Plus, to add one more thing.....They had a VERY ANXIOUS GERMAN SHEPPARD IN THE VERY NEXT ROOM. This poor dog was literally jumping on the walls and door, and barking continuously.I first hand witnessed a loving group of staff put their heads together with a plan to help calm this poor dog. Within minutes he was settled and reassured by staff that he was ok, and HE WAS.THIS PLACE IS TOP NOTCH!While checking out, I saw a BermaDoodle looking out over his split door in "his private room", very happy and calm. Heck, he was relaxing in the resort with a pool area.They go above and beyond.You may be able to find "cheaper", but I challenge you to find better.Keep up the great work!!THANK YOU!Grandma Margaret, Mommy LaVon, Tucker, & Lillie LeppoLaVon L.LaVon L. ★★★★★ Muy buen cuidado para las mascotas. Excelente servicio!!Claudia P.Claudia P. ★★★★★ Our dog Daisy had been suffering for allergies for a while. In the beginning it was something I thought we could manage at home but it became evident that was not true. Our poor girl’s back end was hairless from the itching, the skin on her paws was irritated, and she even had an ear infection. I felt like a failure for letting it go on so long! Dr. Hood was wonderful to us, she explained every part of Daisy’s plan of care thoroughly and didn’t make as feel judged. Also, we’re not rich by any means but the pricing was definitely very fair in my opinion. And it doesn’t hurt that the building is very beautiful and tranquil inside. We’ll be bringing all our pets here in the future.Salma J.Salma J. ★★★★★ I visit Dr LeighAnn Farrar and Kelsey technician , was Super Nice super professional and cared.

She’s extremely caring and really understands felines. The entire operation has great friendly personnel that love all fur babies. I e never had to use their boarding but it looks fabulous!! I tried different places when I first moved here and I m so happy I found Orchid Springs. We’ve even had them help one of our babies across the rainbow bridge and they couldn’t have been more caring. They made it much easier to say goodbye. Best Vet I have e er had!Debbey R.Debbey R. ★★★★★ We have been taking our cats to Dr Vargas since she opened her practice in the small building across the street.

I love Orchid Springs Animal Hospital.Pablo Monge (Prophet Pablo M.Pablo Monge (Prophet Pablo M. ★★★★★ OSAH is a caring & professional group of people. I changed from my local vet to them when I adopted a senior cat through them. I was so impressed, I decided to stay with them & take my 2nd cat there as well. They have a wonderful facility that includes a bone-shaped pool for water-loving canines & boarding. The waiting area is wide & open enough for even the most rambunctious 4-leggers. It is exceptionally clean, the staff is welcoming. The vets (just a side note - all female) are compassionate & knowledgeable. I would take my cats to any one of them for treatment. I had a difficult decision to make at one point & they were there to help me with the best solution, for which I am very grateful. They are a 15 mile drive each way for me & my previous vet is a 3-mile from me. That should tell you how highly I would recommend Orchid Springs.Joanne B.Joanne B. ★★★★★ Diva had stage 5 IVDD with no bladder or bowel control. She had been on 3 weeks of complete crate rest with steroids and no improvement. Dr. Vargas was recommended so she started acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Now 4 weeks later,she has complete control over her bladder and bowels. She's standing, walking (a little shaky, but walking) and trying to run.Dr.Vargas and her staff are so caring and gave us hope. Would definitely recommend taking your furbabies to OSAH.Teresa MTeresa M ★★★★★ Having to fond a new vet was stressful, but I found what could be the best and easiest going vet around.
