Compassion Veterinary Clinic

Dr. Ravi is an amazingly compassionate and dedicated vet, and I cannot recommend him enough. We recently rescued a dog from the Philadelphia ACCT, and she was in very bad shape. We took her to see Dr. Ravi, and you could tell he was concerned with her condition. We’ve been following Dr. Ravi’s instructions for care, and our dog Britt has been steadily recovering by the day. We’re hopeful that she will be back to full health within a couple of weeks, and we are thankful to Dr. Ravi for all of his attention.
In fact, the first day we got Britt and began to be concerned with her condition, I called Dr. Ravi at almost 9pm on a Sunday and he answered! He took my call and and patiently gave me advice.
We originally went to Dr. Ravi on my parents’ recommendation. They take their cat to him and regularly praise his good. I can now see firsthand that they are correct about how great he is.
Highly recommend.

Our office has a cat colony at the end of the parking lot. Last winter two cats, a male and female, joined the colony. Unfortunately, it turned out that the female wasn’t spayed nor was the male neutered.
In April of 2014, four kittens were born. Three female kittens were somewhat healthy, however, the male kitten was not and was abandoned by the mother. We found the male kitten, brought him home and took him to Compassion Veterinary Clinic to see Dr. Ravi Murarka. Will was diagnosed with hydrocephalous and severely vision impaired. Dr. Ravi explained the issues Will would have to face and told us we could do our best to keep him alive or have him euthanized. Dr. Ravi also went on to say that «people will say to put an animal down BUT once the animal is down it cannot be bought back to life.» Dr. Ravi felt that it was worth the effort to give Will a fighting chance and so did we.
Dr. Ravi has been seeing Will regularly and had drawn fluid from his head two more times since his first visit on May 9. Will was also given an antibiotic and within the week he greatly improved. Dr. Ravi took the time to call us to check on Will after each visit. And, each time Will goes back to see Dr. Ravi, Dr. Ravi says that he didn’t think Will would make it but we (Dr. Ravi and us) gave him a chance and Will is learning, growing and eating just like a normal kitten.
Will still has a long battle to go and we know he will make it with Dr. Ravi’s help. Thank you Dr. Ravi for being such a compassionate doctor and person. You are great!

I can’t say enough about how dedicated Dr. Ravi and the Compassion Veterinary Clinic team are to the care of animals. I volunteer for a dog rescue out of Harleysville, PA, and I have brought many dogs to Dr. Ravi’s clinic for a vast array of services. At one point, one of the dogs I was fostering started howling in pain inexplicably at 9PM on a Friday. I called Dr. Ravi, and he actually said to come right to the clinic to meet him. And no, the clinic did not have any 9PM Friday night hours — he actually came to the clinic and opened it just to care for my foster dog at that moment instead of going to a party that he and his wife were headed out the door to attend (he told me how his wife was not happy about this, haha, but understood, of course — she also loves animals).
Dr. Ravi has done surgery on the rescue’s animals, from routine to emergency. Once one of the dogs had a serious problem, and something showed up on an x-​ray, near the site of her spaying incision, so he operated to explore. It turned out that the vet who did the spaying at another clinic actually *left* one of her ovaries inside of her, and it became infected. The surgery was successful, and that dog is alive and well today because of it.
Because Dr. Ravi’s clinic is a family business, you won’t be dazzled by a glamorous waiting room, or an army of secretaries behind the front desk, but the care that you do get will be of the utmost quality.
