Emergency Veterinary Clinic of Tualatin

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT use this vet, period! Incompetence doesn’t even begin to describe it. Your pet WILL die if you bring it to this place. ZERO compassion, less than zero knowledge, the doctors have NO class and in a VERY difficult time sent the receptionist in to give us the bad news! I don’t know how this place has all these good reviews, honestly, I think they are bought. DO NOT use this clinic, if you have an emergency, go to Dove Lewis (which is where we ended up going) they are super compassionate, beautiful facility, a non profit and CHEAPER then these rip off’s. DO NOT USE THIS VET. I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!

I recently had to take my sick/​old kitty to the Vet & we had to make the hard decision to end his pain. This was the second pet we have lost in the past year. The sensitivity from everyone in the office was so so special to us in this difficult time. The Vet who cared for my cat sent us a card a few days after our visit, with a long, personal, handwritten note that touched us more than I have words to describe. You feel like family here, the people who work here really do care. I have never, ever been so touched by a business. Thank you.

Being in a sleep deprived, stressful state of mind it was nice to have a staff that took charge and guided me through the steps they were going to take with admitting my dog for an overnight stay. The doctor was patient and gentle in answering all of my questions (even when they were slammed with lots of other patients). They insisted I call and check in through out the night if I had any worries, but by the time I left my stress had diminished knowing I was leaving my dog with caring people. By the time I picked Ghost up the next morning his spirit was back and his stress also was alleviated. I owe so much gratitude to the staff for nurturing my pup back to health.

Took my very sick dog there last night and was very happy with the care she received and (as others have said) the genuine empathy of the staff. Spoke with 2 vets and a number of assistants and all were friendly, professional and showed genuine concern. Highly recommended.

It’s $ 80 for an office call which is very reasonable and the care was outstanding and they truly cared about my dog. They are open all night and it’s much more convenient than having to miss work for an appointment at the regular vet. All of the staff were very loving towards my dog.

My cat Arlo recently became diabetic and crashed over the weekend. I am a vet and I have referred patients to EVCOT before. This was my first personal experience going to EVCOT with a sick pet. I was impressed with the clinic, equipment and the reassuring bedside manner. The care was excellent, practical and a terrific value. Arlo was much better by the next morning and I was able to get sleep that night. I will happily continue to refer patients to EVCOT and let others know what a good experience I had. Thanks!

We have taken our pets over the years in emergency situations to the clinic. Each time, our dogs received loving compassionate care. Dr. Nuijens is such a caring vet who helped us through our most recent heartbreaking visit. Our beautiful Wrigley fell to the floor at home and we rushed him to the clinic. Dr. Nuijens immediately noticed his tummy was swollen, did an ultrasound, and found a massive abdominal tumor which had ruptured and Wrigley was essentially dying. Stunned, heartbroken, sobbing, we did what was right for our baby boy. We lost a spirit that is irreplaceable in our lives, pure joy, love, mischievousness, energy, gone. The shock of this event is current and new, but I do remember as I sobbed, I felt a strong hug and such kind words from Dr. Nuijens «I’m so sorry». The vets at this clinic are compassionate, loving, and kind.

I am so thankful to have this emergency clinic in my town. I took my seriously ill cat to them and they were compassionate and kind. When I took my little dog to them, they took the time to explain everything and help me decide if I needed xrays. While they felt I might be able to wait they understand when I didn’t want to take any chances and took some to confirm that everything was okay.

I wish I could put zero stars on this. Tiny dingy lobby. Receptionist didn’t acknowledge us but I heard her rudely tell a client on the phone that their animal either needed surgery or not. As we looked around waiting area to be greeted in any way I see I woman smoking an e-cigarette…in the lobby. I mean do whatever outside but e-​cigs still let off toxic metals at higher rates than even regular cigarettes & that is simply unacceptable at an emergency animal hospital. Especially one with a very small reception area. Absolutely disgusting!

I had a great experience here after my dog got a bone lodged between her teeth and couldn’t close her mouth. They were efficient, compassionate and very reasonably priced. The vet also gave me great advice on what kind of bones to avoid in the future to prevent this from happening. Of course we hope to never have to go back, but we certainly will use them again if/​when needed.

This place is the best in town. I’ve been here twice with my boy schnauzer, and in both instances in and out in under an hour. A vet friend sent me here when she was unable to remove all the foxtails from his ear in her home. Dove Lewis is quite a bit closer, but this is her preferred spot. I barely have to give them any details before they practically have him diagnosed! It is VERY reasonably priced, the staff more than competent, and located conveniently off I5. I honestly wish they could be his regular veterinarian.

This place is awesome. I live in SE Portland but I will be coming here from now on. They helped me with a very sick dog and every vet I talked to was excellent. Prices were reasonable for what it is. Highly recommended.

This place is a blessing! Close by, open all evening and through the night and the staff are calm, emapthetic and extermely helpful. We had to bring one of our cats in last night and I was very impressed. Yes, there is a cost ($ 80 for the office visit — not includng meds or treatments) but completely worth it especially if you can treat something right away before it turns worse.

After my cat had a bout with a blockage, I came home the next night to find out she had spit up some blood. What to do on a Sunday night and just having moved to the state? Looked online and found EVCT — called and verified they were open at 9:20pm. Went in and back home before 10:30pm. Dr. Dan O’Loughlin was great! He listened, we talked about options and I felt much better. I drove home knowing I had an excellent emergency clinic close to home.

House and cat sitting for my parents who were away during the holidays. I come home from a friend’s New Year’s Eve party at 4am to find my parents cat sneezing every few minutes. This is not normal so I turn on the lights to see discharge around the eyes and nose. Uh oh, time to Google for an emergency pet clinic that’s near.
I found a few that were 15 – 20 minutes away and then stumbled upon Emergency Vet Clinic of Tualatin. Not really knowing what to expect, I called them to verify they were open and told them I would be heading in with a sick cat.
When we got there, the vet tech was very friendly and sympathetic to how sick the cat was. As I’m writing this, I now realize I didn’t even think about the fact that she had to work on New Year’s Eve… They took us to a room and the tech did the normal things, checked breathing, temp, etc. Know my parents cat, I was pretty sure she was going to try to scratch the hell out of the tech but she was actually fairly calm, which I attribute to the calm and caring demeanor of the tech.
We waited about 15 minutes for the vet to show up, I assume she is no call and not just sitting around and waiting for people with pet emergencies to show up at 4am.
The vet was very kind and showed what I felt was genuine concern about the cat’s well being.
After a thorough exam, the cat was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, the cat was given and IV due to slight dehydration, antibiotics and an ointment for her eyes.
The bill for everything, including 2 take home meds was around $ 240. A completely reasonable amount in my opinion, I had guessed it would cost no less than $ 250.
All in all, I am very pleased with EVC of T and while I hope you would never have to rush your pet to the emergency vet, if you do, I suggest taking them here.

We took our puppy here after our regular vet sent us home saying «nothing was wrong» and then later suggested surgery, and she had another episode. The vet that helped us not only seemed to have figured out the solution but was knowledgable and full of great advice. She shed light on what seemed to be causing our dogs issues, and the solution was simple, and definitely did not include surgery!

It’s hard to give 5-​stars when losing a pet but I’ve been meaning to give the Emergency Veterinary Clinic of Tualatin a review for some time…
I have been to this vet on two previous occasions with my cats and every veterinarian that I saw there was awesome, empathetic and kind.
This is the 3^rd «Emergency» vet that I have been to — Dove Lewis and one in Victoria, B.C. and EVCT has been my best experience both with staff and with cost.
The last time we took in our old man cat and had to put him down (his cancer had spread and his blood levels were bad). The vet was extremely compassionate. We are grateful for EVCT and will continue to take our emergencies vet needs to them. These things are expensive, unfortunately but EVCT is definitely not the most expensive.

We got a call from this clinic last Friday at 3:15 am — my little black cat Pepita had been brought in by a paper-​person — but she needed to be put down — would I like to be there?
The staff were very respectful and kind — the Vet gently explained what injuries were sustained — and that they were not reversible.
Peptia stopped crying when she knew I was there — a very peaceful send off.
I know they did tons of diagnostic work on her, but they only charged me for the euthanasia and cremation.
She had a chip…

I find it a bit sad that this was one of the 3 hospitals we spent over $ 1800 in 4 days to save my cat. We did not even get one follow up call and see how he was doing. We went to dove, Tualatin and rose city veterinary hospital and not one dr or tech has called to follow up. I understand being busy but good customer service is just that. What happen to the compassion? Just know that once you have paid your $ you might not hear from them again.

I brought our Japanese Bobtail cat in for some wheezing and sneezing on a Sunday and they acted PDQ to provide comfortable conditions first and then worked to provide a diagnosis second. We’re walking out with copies of data, a CDROM with X-​rays, referrals to regular docs and some good advice.
I’m very satisfied and will return again if we have to. Bring your fuzzy babies here, if you must go anywhere. These folks are open at night and ²⁴⁄₇ on the weekends. They have in-​house bloodwork and X-​ray available for quick diagnosis. More importantly they present as compassionate and competent.
