I have taken my purebred German Shepherd here a few times for ear infections, blood tests, and wellness checks. Very happy with Doctor Baum and Doctor Hittner and I wholeheartedly recommend both for their generous time and professionalism. Both veterinarians always listened to me and I ended up learning something in the process. My dog does not get along with other dogs. And the people at Bandon Veterinary Hospital are very accommodating about this, making sure no other dogs are present when he enters the building. Prices are very reasonable, especially when you consider the shortage of veterinarians we have in this area. All the ingredients for five stars in my book! *****

I travel a lot with my dog, Bella. We were out of town when Bella started having seizures. Three different vets took blood and none found a cause. The seizures happened every few weeks, sometimes several in a row. I had them all send a copy of the blood tests to Doctor Baum. When we got home I took Bella in to see Doctor Baum. He wanted to run a blood test and I asked him if he'd received the blood tests. "I did," he replied, "and they didn't test for thyroid." It turned out that her thyroid was low and he prescribed Soloxine. That did the trick. Dr. Baum has done knee surgery on both hind legs and she can run and romp better than other dogs her age (8 1/2 years). The pandemic has put every business in Oregon under tight restrictions and dogs can be infected. I know Dr. Baum as a kind and competent vet and the distancing protocol he has to follow has been the cause of the few negative reviews Bandon Veterinary has received. I would feel just as distressed as the people who complained and I don't fault them for their reactions. Dogs have a way of getting deep into your heart. I'm 70 years old and it's possible that we have about the same amount of time left. I hope we both go at the same time so neither of us has to grieve the other.

Bandon Veterinary is one of the best clinics I have ever been to. The team is friendly and caring, and I can get in at short notice. I love the way Dr Elizabeth responds to our poodle! You can tell she loves animals and her treatment is right from the heart. Thank you!

Thanks again Dr Hewitt for taking the time to sit with Tinker while we talked, especially after he lost his little temper. He calmed down enough to take a cookie!! Such a good experience for him-- and us

Over priced, and uncompassionate people. Spent 60 dollars to be denied vaccines for my cat and told I could keep her appointment to be spayed (a month or two down the line) due to her being pregnant. Showed up for her appointment for them to tell me I couldn't get her spayed yet even though the vet had told me it would be perfectly okay for her and the kittens. Then took my cat in to be spayed and vaccinated another two months later, and after paying nearly 400 dollars she was returned to me soaked in her own urine with stitches sticking an inch out of her stomach. They insisted she stay overnight after her procedure and I got her back, dehydrated, hungry and soaked. I will never be taking her back there. I am not impressed by the misinformation and cruelty shown to my cat. Took me 3 appointments over the course of 4 months to get anything done for my cat.
