Beechwold Veterinary Hospital, Columbus OH

Dr Curtis is the only person i trust with our special needs cat.
Can not recommend enough

Love Dr. Stewart. Feels like part of the family how he speaks of all our pets.
Front desk greets us with smiles. Technicians are just the salt of the earth. Great place all around.

I honestly can’t recommend beechwold highly enough. I have a beloved 3 year old cat with recurrent abdominal issues and they have always been so gentle and sweet with him. They’re also very upfront about the cost of his treatment and they always respond to calls and appointment requests in a timely manner. Dr. Curtis especially has been amazing with my cat and with me and I truly appreciate his expertise and kind disposition.

The cdc's guidelines for all this curbside pickup made sense 6 months ago but now it's ridiculous no one that works in the facility and no one dropping off their patients are any more at risk than going to Kroger Walmart I can go to my doctor and I not ask to sit out in the parking lot if there's a way this can be overrode I would do it and if there isn't as soon as the guidelines change I would change with it because quite honestly it seems that puts the needs of the facilities entirely ahead the needs of the customers if I take my kid to the pediatrician I'm not meant to sit in the parking lot while some stranger comes and gets my child and takes him into a building well most people don't like their dog being taken from them and taking into a building and not being there with them it's treating animals like they're less than seems ironic coming from veterinary facilities

I have been taking my cats to Beechwold Veterinary Hospital for the last 12 years. Dr. Curtis has always been kind and gentle with my fur babies, and very honest about what they do and don't need to lead healthy lives. The techs and the desk staff are courteous and professional every time. I appreciate how everyone has pivoted to keep us all as safe as possible during the pandemic. Thank you!

I have been taking all of my pets to Beechwold Vet for years and I am always more than satisfied. All of their doctors are professional and caring, but Dr. Curtis is exceptional. He has always been patient, kind, and you can tell he truly has the best interest of my pets in mind. I also appreciate their willingness to keep both me and my pets safe during a pandemic. The front desk staff also deserves a kudos for offering fantastic customer service. I would recommend Beechwold Vet to all of my friends and family. I truly appreciate everything they have done for us over the years! Thank you!

Love this place! Wonderful staff and even better care for the animals. Found our vet for life. Shout out to Dr.wisegerber for being patient and knowledgeable!

We took our 3 day old puppies there today for rear dew claw removal. The vet taped over the removal site. Removing tape not only tore out hair - it also removed any scabbing at the removal site. 2 of the puppies have open sores. One is very bad. I’m no wondering if they used tape to hide a botched removal until we got home? ! I have never seen such a poor job on dew claw removal

If you want a caring and calm vet for your cat, ask for Dr. Stewart. He was extremely comforting and sincere when we had to put our 17 year old girl to sleep, and is wonderful with our other guy as well. He is honest, and does not push for extra, unnecessary things. He will be our go to for as long as he is practicing.

Made an appointment for my sick dog, got the time confused and showed up 15 minutes late. They wouldn't see me and only could reschedule for another day. Policies are a little too rigid for my taste.

Winston has had a rough life lately: mauled by a coyote and got all better from that trauma. Now, a year later, he has something that may cause his demise. He spent 3 days at OSU emergency vet hospital and spends his days, now, with the wonderful Doctor Nicole at Beechwold vet hospital. He comes home at night. We cannot find the cause of his ailment but it not for lack of trying. These vet doctors and the staff from both OSU and Beechwold are heroes to those who love their animals. Thank you no matter what the result may be in Winston's case. (Thanks, too, to Dr. Stewart at Beechwold who saw Winston first and directed us to OSU Emergency Hospital.)

I had to have my cat (18 years old, loved people, lived a pretty good house cat life) euthanized a few weeks ago. I really appreciate the compassionate way they handled this, including immediately taking us back to the room, affirming my decision, presenting options for disposal including the most frugal one, and getting it all over with quickly. The vet personally wrote me a condolence card which I really appreciate. I don't know if or when I'll have another pet, but I would surely take it to Beechwold Vet.

Everyone here has always been great to deal with! Easy to get an appointment and we never feel like they are "upselling. " Our dog actually likes to go!

I have been bringing my dog there since I adopted her 3 years ago. Overall I like this clinic. My most recent experience taught me to request the Veterinarian that I prefer. I arrived early for our appointment, waited 40 minutes after the scheduled time and overheard the Veterinarian speaking about me in a derogatory manner. I wasnt able to bring my dog in for her monthly shot as I routinely do and she developed an ear infection, I assume from allergies. " They did it to themselves, it has been 2 months since they were here" is the comment I overheard. I felt judged and convicted of neglect. The shot my dog receives is approximately
$90/shot. I gladly pay this for my dog. I will return to Beechwold however I will be selective about Veterinarians that see her. I work in the medical field and take pride in honoring the worth and dignity of each person. Sometimes that means keeping my opinions to myself and venting any feelings I may have at a time and place where I am not likely to be overheard.

I want to thank the Administration of Beechwold Veterinary for the response to my previous review. I agree that there may have been a miscommunication. I have been very pleased with the service that I receive and the kindness shown to me and my dog. I also want to commend the front office staff for their continued professionalism and caring not only to myself but to others as well. I truly like this Vet.

Well.communication is not their thing. They never respond to messages sent via their website and even when you ask people on the phone the info you get doesn't necessarily carry from day to day. Make sure you call the DAY OF whatever you need done to make sure they haven't given you misinformation. Or else you'll end up like me. Driving all the way there based on information they gave you previously that isn't correct.
Frustrating.

Dr. Thomas is wonderful. She is very kind and thorough, and seems to really care about my pets. She always takes the time to explain medications and readily answers any questions or concerns. Her tech is also great, and is always helpful and friendly. I did 4 stars because some of the front desk workers aren't as friendly, and also the price of annual exams at $50 is higher than our previous vet.

I had the worst experience at this vet. I stayed with them for a full year and had issues every visit. I adopted a shelter puppy and the first visit they never checked for worms, only for my puppy to get super sick a month later since he was so heavily affected. The next visit, they told me that he finished his puppy boosters. After checking the receipt a week later, I saw that they gave him the wrong shot and my puppy was not fully vaccinated. After talking to three different people, they finally admitted their mistake in giving my dog a Lepto vaccine instead of the DHPP vaccine. The finally straw was when my puppy was tested for Lyme's disease and tested positive. The doctor said that she would not write a script until my puppy was showing more severe signs of lyme. Once he was showing signs a month later, the vet refused to write a script. It was the most horrifying experience ever- I definitely do not recommend this vet.

I have a potentially pregnant dog who needs a reproduction vet and because I missed one appointment and the second appointment I assumed was cancelled because one of the 4 receptionists told me they wouldn’t be able to see her because she needs an update on her rabies I assumed that the appointment was cancelled at that point. Nope. So I missed 2 appointments and after they stated if I wanted to use them as a vet I had to pay upfront well when I tried to set that up I was told that the vets are unwilling to see her because of a misunderstanding. I own Bulldogs, bulldogs require a c section to have a successful and safe birth. The fact that their doctors didn’t feel that it was important to see the animals Safety over anything is disgusting. I now will have to drive my dog an hour and half to a reputable reproduction vet and back post surgery plus newborn puppies. As if that’s not a risk to their lives in itself. Clearly it’s all about the money and their time than it is an animals safety. I heard amazing things about beechwold but after this I’ll never recommend them to anyone. Ever.

I took both my dog and cat to Beechwold for two years and they were always so nice, thorough and informative. When my dog broke his foot, they referred me to a wonderful podiatrist at OSU vet hospital. I definitely recommend any doctor here.

I see that you already have a lot of great reviews, but I just wanted to share that I have had a great experience every time I have been here. My cat has asthma, so our visits have been far too frequent over the last year and a half. Every member of the staff has been friendly. It is easy to schedule and the hours are convenient. They do not push unnecessary tests, treatments or products. Dr. Curtis is incredibly kind and I always leave with peace of mind, which has not been my experience at other offices. I have had a traumatic experience with a previous cat after a vet procedure, so I came in the first time very hesitant and asking every single question I could think of. The doctor was compassionate, understanding, patient and thorough. I am admittedly biased about how special my cats are, but the staff here seems to agree with me and treat them wonderfully. Now if only I could find a doctor I like this much that treats humans!
