Doctor Sampson is a truly amazing human. One of our pups(snow) got diagnosed with Addison's disease in 2020 and we ended up changing vets to RVH. Since this was all new of course we were doing research on google and Dr.Sampson had no problem answering all my questions, and there were a lot. He never once made me feel like a burden for asking like some other veterinarians do. At our most recent 1 year visit Dr.Sampson broke the news Snow may have lymphoma. He went over all the different tests we can do to confirm but eventually it was confirmed. We then went over all the options after we decided not to go through chemo. Any time we had questions he would always take the time to call us back and talk about it. Three weeks later snow wasn't doing good at all and I woke up one day thinking it would be his last hoping I was wrong and it was just a bad day. While our boy was struggling to breathe at home I called the office to see if they can squeeze us in to euthanize him which they did. We rushed over and staff met us in the parking lot with a cart, he was about 130 lbs and couldn't walk. The only negative was as we hear our boy struggling to breathe/dying the receptionist came for a signature and payment which my husband then told her to leave the room and we would pay when we left. (We ended up not having to since he went on his own)Maybe one minute after being in the room our boy took his last breath as Dr.Sampson was coming in. Through that difficult time he sat with us and again answered all our questions and even walked us back to our car with our boy to help get him in. We are super grateful for him and his team. Thank you thank you thank you for the care you gave and will continue to give our pups.

Very grateful to Dr. Sampson and the whole staff. Everyone is very nice and patient. Dr. Sampson is very knowledgeable and really listens and cares about our fur babies. He has successfully completed my cat’s eye surgery (Icy says hello!) while other vets refused to even take him. And Today he has found a way to become friends with my anxious and hyperactive dog during her annual exam, blood tests and vaccinations. The nurse was very nice, gentle and super patient to my dog. I can’t say enough how happy we are to find such a wonderful doctor and team like you. Many many thanks to everyone for all your hard work!!!

My cat had a broken leg from an accident and I took him to the emergency vet. They quoted me an astronomical price to repair his leg that was more than several months salary for me. I was in shock and dismay and so sad. A kind friend helped me call around to try to find better options. Finally we found Dr. Linn and the team at the Richboro Veterinary hospital. They performed the orthopedic surgery my cat needed to save his leg at a fraction of the cost many other practices were quoting me. Not only did they save his leg, but it's in great condition and the staff was kind and wonderful. We have gone there for X-rays and follow-up visits for the past several months and have been treated consistently with kindness respect, and Mr. Ginger has received excellent care. I cannot say enough about the great experience we have had at Richboro Veterinary Hospital

I cannot say enough good things about Richboro Veterinary Hospital and Dr. Linn. If you're looking for a vet but wondering if this one is good, affordable, helpful, kind, gentle with animals, etc., the answer is YES to all of those. Go here. This is going to be a long review, but I want everyone to know how excellent they are. On Sunday, 4/17, my cat Kellen started throwing up. Vets are closed on weekends, so we had to take him to the vet Monday. His vet had no openings and no vet in the area would squeeze him in. Each office expressed concern that he had a blockage (which is life threatening and can go south within 24) hours but refused to see him. They recommended we take him to the ER. Unfortunately, all of the local ERs were only accepting the most severe cases at their own discretion. Many of these vets were quoting over $250 just to walk in the door, and stating that x-rays and ultrasounds would need to be performed and be hundreds more. The only open ER had an 8 hour wait, so we decided to try his vet again in the morning. At this point, Kellen got worse. He was lethargic, not eating, I couldn't tell if he was using the litter box, and he had gone from throwing up food to throwing up nothing because there was nothing in his belly. These are very common symptoms of blockages. We tried again on 4/19 to get any vet to see him and stressed the time-sensitive nature of the issue; 48 hours with a blockage is enough time for a kitty to pass away. Again, no one could get him in and kept reiterating that he would likely die without treatment (which is a horrible thing to say when not offering treatment). We called the ER back to let them know we were on our way, and they told us not to come-- they were at capacity. We were on our way to Quakertown Vet Hospital, which is an hour and a half from our home, when I found Richboro Veterinary Hospital on Google. I decided to give them a call as a last ditch effort. Not only did they get us in within a couple hours, they were WONDERFUL. There was absolutely no wait between when we showed up and were seen. Dr. Linn took the time to address my many questions, soothe my worries (because at this point it had been over 2 days and I was beyond frantic), and treat Kellen. He was so gentle with him, gave him a thorough examination, declared it to likely be gastritis based on his findings (not a blockage!) and gave Kellen some anti-nausea medicine with clear follow-up instructions should the issue return. We were in and out within a half hour, maybe less. He also took the time to give him a general wellness exam. He saved me so much heartache AND money. I have never met a vet as good as Dr. Linn. I tried literally every vet within a 30 mile radius of the 19116 zip code, and I am so frustrated with all of them. I don't care how far away you live, Richboro Vet is THE BEST. Also, Kellen is now totally fine and very happy : ) Cat tax attached.

The staff at Richboro Veterinary Hospital is fantastic. Shiloh and I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Sampson today. He is so warm, friendly and accommodating!! I highly recommend Dr. Sampson and staff for all of your veterinary needs. My dog is a Chow Chow. They are very reluctant by nature. He absolutely loves Dr. Sampson!! He definitely has that magic touch
