Olympiad Animal Hospital

Amazing staff, great customer service, and a wonderful place to be! They have taken care of my dogs like family and always show love and affection to them. They take the time to speak with me and explain everything in detail.

I take my cat Bandit to Dr Margolis. He is very friendly, patient, and takes his time with your pet and you. He explains everything in detail and is very thorough.
My cat has been in to see him a few times now — and he is always happy when he is there. I have never seen a cat play at the vet, but Bandit does. He walks around checking out the room, and doesnt run or hide when Dr Margolis checks him out. He is very gentle when he is examining Bandit.
The staff has always been nice when I have called with questions, or gone in to pick up the special food Bandit needs, the Urinary SO food. When Bandit has needed to be seen right away, I have always been able to get a same morning appointment.
I love Olympiad Animal Hospital and so does Bandit. I have uploaded some pictures and video. I brought a toy with him this last visit this morning, and he happily played while we were in the room.

We really appreciate the care and attention Dr. Margolis, Dr. Thormahlen, and Dr. Kanjer have given our Labrador Retrievers. I was fortunate to watch Dr. Margolis spay our new lab Abbey, and saw first hand his competence in a surgical setting. I know that is unorthodox, but my sister is a veterinarian in Colorado and I assured him I would not faint in the operating room, so he was kind enough to let me watch. She recovered in record time and is now a healthy happy young lady. I am also impressed with the follow up. They call to insure everything is okay, and recently, Dr. Margolis called weeks after an appointment to make sure Abbey’s allergy was under control.

The vet techs and office staff are wonderful. I’d give them 5 stars! Love them!
Dr. Thormahlen (Dr. T) is also wonderful. She was great when my Maine Coon who at 9-​years-​old suddenly presented with abdominal cancer. She was very realistic when she did the first ultrasound and very caringly let me know it wasn’t worth the time or money to do further testing and to make sure to watch my cat for the signs that would indicate it was time to put him down. When my little guy passed both she and the staff were excellent in being sympathetic and taking great care to have him cremated for us. The remains were presented to us in a gorgeous box and a tuft of his fur. I cry just thinking of how special it was. My daughter who had cried every night since losing our cat put it in her room and she no longer cries. They made it so perfect for her.
Because of Dr. T and the staff’s great care I decided that I wanted Olympiad Animal Hospital to be our official vet. So I scheduled exams for our two German Shepherds, ages 9 and 11, to become patients of record. Unfortunately, Dr. T was out for maternity leave and so we were scheduled with Dr. Kanjer.
We met Dr. Kanjer for the initial exam. She was very nice and thorough and all was going well. She ordered bloodwork and fecal exams… which is the normal. No problem there. And she was great at calling me back with the results.
But my older dog’s numbers came up with indications of possible kidney or intestinal problems. She recommended and ultrasound to see what is going on. Ok… no problem. Let’s find out. The day of the ultrasound she calls me at work all panicked about how she suddenly heard an arrythmia and she wants to get the heart checked when they do the ultrasound. She says it’s going to be something like $ 300 more. I’m in a state of panic and nearly about to cry because now I’m thinking more poor guy is falling apart and he could be dying! So, of course, I say yes, please do it!!!
Later, after the ultrasound is completed she calls me to tell me the kidneys look good. Only a small amount of inflammation in the intestines, and heart is fine. What!!! I mean, yes, I’m so relieved his organs are all basically doing okay. The dude is 11 years old, some wear and tear should be expected. But the kicker was when she told me «Oh! I noticed the arrythmia is a lot less now. I think it was just from the stress of when we were prepping him for the ultrasound.» Seriously??? So because you overreacted I had to pay an extra $ 300. Gee, thanks.
After this she recommends a urinalysis. Another test. More money. I’m thinking, ok, let’s try to get to the bottom of what is driving his kidney numbers to go off kilter. Urine test comes up with nothing. More money being flushed?
So, I go see her for a follow up to see what we need to do from here. She recommends a $ 100 prescription for an antibiotic «just in case» there was some infection not evident. And high blood pressure medication because his pressure was high when he was there. On top of that, she suggests multiple, multiple visits back with her because of possibly glomerulonephritis and other kidney ailments that fortunately, I am familiar with all the big medical terms she’s throwing at me since I’m in the healthcare field… but she is throwing these terms around and completely overwhelming me while the bottom line is she has no idea at all what is going on and she wants to throw a barrage of tests and medications at him.
I put my poor guy on the blood pressure medication and suffered through a month of him being lethargic and not wanting to eat, losing weight like crazy. My 100-​pound active german shepherd became a 80-​pound floor rug. So I decided to take him off of the medication and I know it takes about 72 hours for medications to get out of the system. And like magic, exactly 72 hours later my dog got his appetite back and was running around again like a puppy chasing his tennis balls around the house and giving us tons of kisses. I have a sneaky feeling he never had high blood pressure but that it measured high at the vet due to anxiety. And his kidney numbers are off because he is an old dude. That is all. Not all the crazy medical jargon and stuff Dr. Kanjer was overthinking.
I am completely unhappy with her lack of experience and mishandling of the situation that got me and my family all emotional and cost us not only $ 2000 but a month of suffering for both us and our dog.
I would love to come back and see Dr. T but I’m afraid of what happens if she’s not there just like what happened when she was on maternity leave. I will miss the staff and the facilities were very nice, but I think the best thing for me and my 2 dogs and 2 cats to do is go elsewhere with a vet or team of vets who have one foot in reality and not going to treat my pets like a science experiment and treat me like funding for a research grant.

This is the only place I will take my extended family members. They were referred to me by a good friend who trusts them with her pets as well.
My kitties have seen Dr. Margolis and Dr. Kanjer and both are so caring and obviously really love their jobs and I like them both. I appreciate anyone who when they walk into a room the animals react to them immediately in a good way.
These folks take the time to check your pet thoroughly and provide the best care.
For this I do not mind paying a little more because my pets mean a lot to me and I trust the staff at Olympiad.
Thank you so much for providing the best level of care and the reassurance I need that no matter what the visit is for I feel confident I am giving my pets the best care they can get, from the reception to the doctors themselves.
I highly recommend Olympiad!

I love this animal hospital hands down. The staff are always friendly and professional, and they definitely keep their facility tidy and clean. I must say that of all the veterinarians I’ve been to, Dr. T is the best one. She definitely takes her time during examinations, asks questions, and is sure to get the full picture to properly diagnose and treat any problems. My dachshund is very shy and hates being examined by strangers, but with Dr. T, he is a bit more calm! I highly recommend this facility because they have an amazing work ethic and help us get our pets back to health!

The most caring vets I have ever met in my life! We have seen Dr T. & Dr Margolis both our outstanding & take the time needed to treat your pet. They listen, they offer suggestions & they educate. Their prices are no different then any other vet. With one exception… they listen to you!

Well we got another puppy from a reputable breeder and Dr T helped us this time. She is AMAZING. I cannot recommend Olympiad Animal Hospital enough. The staff is kind and caring and gives such a warm feeling. Thank you for all your help.

We bought our family’s first dog and asked friends about vet recommendations. Most responses were that they were «fine» with the vet they had, but my sister in law said, «I LOVE my vet!» She then told us about Dr. Margolis and Olympiad Animal Hospital. Just a few days after talking to her, our new dog broke her paw and had to get a cast, so we headed to Olympiad Animal Hospital. Dr. Margolis was so kind, patient and empathetic during the whole process. This veterinary office NEVER tries to push unneeded services to pad fees. In fact, during one hurt paw visit post having a cast for 6 weeks, I was so emotionally upset as my dog Unilocaled and I realized we were here with another paw injury, Dr. Margolis took time to kindly reassure me, address my worries and waived a lot of the fees for that visit. The office staff is friendly and warm, and making an appointment is always a pleasure. I HIGHLY recommend this vet.

So happy to have Dr. Margolis as our dog’s veterinarian. Our dog is really untrusting of new people being close to her, and always feared the vets office. But when we switched to Olympiad Animal Hospital, her fears have lessened. Dr. M is very gentle and takes plenty of time with you and your pet, to educate you and help you thru whatever issues are going on. He always calls the following day to check-​in and see how your pet is doing. We are all very happy to have found Dr. Margolis.

When I moved, I wanted a vet closer to home. I immediately fell in love with Dr. Margolis and his staff. The place is small, there are not a zillion animals going nuts in the waiting area. Immaculately clean location. Dr. Margolis spends a lot of time answering all your questions and getting to know your pet. Very thorough examination. When I had to go back for follow up blood work, I had a question on a different matter. Dr. Margolis immediately looked at the dog and reassured me.
