Ocean State Veterinary Specialists

I brought my bunny into the emergency room due to him not pooping and eating. As a bun mom, you know thats a trip right to the vet asap. Upon arrival, they took him right away, assessed him and even without the exotic vet there on the weekend, they chose to keep him and have her asses in the morning. She called me first thing, and updated me - we ended up saying yes to a procedure being done to suction things from his stomach and it saved his life. Dr Spellman saved my baby's life. Promptly and efficiently. As soon as I said do it, she hung up and did it! She called after the procedure to update me and again before she left for the day. She was kind, compassionate and clearly an expert. He is now home, eating, pooping (YAY) and in recovery. Thank you to ALL of the staff, who even answered my calls at midnight to check on him❤️ The outcome could have been very different and I still would have left a great review because of how thorough and caring they were. Was it cheap? No. Was it worth it? YES! Ninja says thank you! Attached is a picture of him willingly eating, and behind the camera is me jumping for joy😂

I cannot say enough positive things about OSVS! Our regular vet HIGHLY recommended OSVS after we found a mast cell tumor on my Maisie Mae. We met with Dr. Sweet for a consultation and he was very informative and knowledgeable. He explained the surgery and testing process so seamlessly. I was extremely nervous about the procedure, but he helped to put my mind at ease. Sheri was very helpful in setting up the procedure appointment, explaining the process with the surgery forms, and answering any questions I had. The way that this team kept me updated throughout the whole process was simply amazing! There was never any questioning. I received a call from the doctor once surgery was complete, a status of how she was doing a few hours later, and even a picture of her smiling face the next morning! Surgery went well last week, and Maisie is on her way to recovery! Thank you all at OSVS that helped to take care of my girl! We appreciate every single one of you!!

My heartfelt thank you to all the dedicated specialist here at Ocean State Veterinary Specialist. From Dr Kessler working with my girl on countless emails (sorry bout that) on her IBD and ongoing infections to Dr Kane the cardiologist as a Boxer owner well nuff said ….. to Dr Alexander checking in on his patient after an ER appointment. It is clear these folks do this because they generally care about our pets and guiding us to ensure good quality of life and top notch expertise! I have such gratitude for all these folks ❤️ thank you 🙏🏼

I am a veterinary technician, and my personal dog, Spider, was seen on emergency basis at OSVS for a post-spay hemoabdomen the day after her spay surgery, performed at another clinic. One of her sutures had loosened and she had significant internal bleeding, and needed a blood transfusion and her surgical site could be corrected. The CSRs at OSVS were wonderful on our arrival, immediately ensuring that Spider was triaged and that all of her records from her prior surgery were in order, and the technicians that triaged her were incredibly efficient in starting supportive treatments and getting the rest of her history from me. One of their student technicians even knew Spider and I, and was nice enough to come out and chat with me while they stabilized her, and was so excited to tell everyone who Spider was. Spider was admitted for her surgery and overnight care. Her surgeon, Dr. Sweet, was able to correct her surgical site and called me as soon as she was out of surgery, and I will never forget his kindness as he explained to me what her surgery had entailed and her prognosis. She stayed overnight with a wonderful team of veterinarians, technicians and assistants looking after her, and we were lucky enough to be able to take her home the following night. We feel so lucky to still have her here with us, and extend our deepest gratitude to everyone at OSVS who cared for her.

Never have i experienced such a sweet and caring staff before. We have been to ocean state on a few occasions, and always have we been treated gracefully and with such compassion. Our most recent stint was with our young kitten who ended up with a freak kidney infection. Every person we experienced was so kind and professional. My 2 year old daughter waited with myself for about 4 hours. Staff stepped in with coloring books, crayons and kindness. I don’t have enough good words. Care overnight for our kitty was exceptional, and you can tell the staff truly cares for your pet. Convenience for an emergency vet is pricey but Ocean state is very much worth it and we are just glad to have a healthy, healing, energetic kitty back home. Thank you Ocean State Vet team!

On February 16th we had to bring our cat in because he was not feeling well. The vets did everything they could do to try to make him as comfortable as they could. Unfortunately, we had to make a hard decision to put him down. The staff was unbelievable, especially Sandra who went above and beyond to make me and my family feel comfort at such a hard time without her support and understanding I know we wouldn’t have been able to get through it without her. Thanks for everything RIP Bubba Kitty

Bug’s first visit to Ocean State was to receive care for an upper respiratory infection after she was found in a shed as a stray. We received the care she needed to heal. 5 months later we were back at Ocean State when Bug was experiencing a very high fever and lethargy. They were able to diagnose her with cat scratch fever and I’m happy to report she is almost back to her normal, kitten self. Very thankful to the team for their life saving care and compassion.
