Sunnyside Veterinary Hospital

Happily recommend the new vet, Richard Hill at Sunnyside Veterinary. He really seemed to know his stuff & was extremely thorough & genuinely interested in our dog & healing. Thought about changing vets when Dr. Haverman retired (due to distance from our home) but wouldn’t consider it now after two visits with Dr. Hill. He is everything we want in a veterinarian.

Great vet care. The doctor I saw was very good about answering all of my questions and providing lots of options so I felt comfortable with the treatment chosen. Everyone was very nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this place!

Took my puppy here and had great service. Better than the usual corporate places like Banfield at petsmart and petco. Everyone was really helpful and nice. We received a lot of good tips on training our puppy. Our puppy didn’t feel terrified after his shots. Vet and technicians were all knowledgable. Great customer service.

Our dog had an issue for two days and she was completely out of the fight. I called Sunnyside and they were able to see her that morning. After doing a poop test, it turned out to be some gastro bacterial issues. The Dr. Haveman was very informative and gave me a list of things it could be and then walked me through how each one was to be treated. He was very methodical in his approach and I felt like he cared. He’s been doing it for over 20 years so he’s knowledgeable. The staff that he has there are very friendly and warm. One of them came around her desk just to greet our dog. Pricing seemed fair and there were no surprises. Coupled with the fact that they are two minutes away, they will be our regular vet team. Highly recommend them.

I was having trouble finding a vet that would see my budgie, although St Francis Animal Hospital is minutes away I would never go there again as they have caused part of Kiwi’s problem. Luckily I was referred to Sunnyside Animal Hospital and I called in hopes they could see me soon and they got me in the that very day, if they hadn’t I don’t know if Kiwi would have made it.
The staff was warm and friendly and never seemed like they were trying to rush through because it was getting near the end of the day, their concern was about me and my pet. Their avian specialist wasn’t in that day so I saw Dr Hill and was so impressed with the fact that he researched the condition Kiwi suffers from and was prepared for all her complications. Although specialized tests were mentioned they weren’t push them on me, Dr Hill noted that he felt they were unnecessary as he would take the same course of treatment no matter. To my surprise and theirs Kiwi is doing really well, I would highly recommend taking any pet to Sunnyside Animal Hospital. Kiwi will go no where else.

If we would have had anything other than an exam done, I would probably have rated this facility a 5.
The staff is very friendly & helpful and Dr. Hill was kind, too.
The prices are pretty high here for services. I couldn’t afford the $ 1500+/- for the tooth extraction required for my dog. We sought out another (less expensive) vet.
I did like the office (nice, clean, well-​maintained). I can’t slight this facility on anything (other than price-​wise) because we only had an initial exam done.

Excellent vet. I have an old cockatiel and it’s hard finding vets who will see birds. I didn’t want the poor fella in the car all the way to Lake Oswego’s Avian Clinic, so I thought I’d give the folks at Sunnyside a try. Very kind, professional, friendly and, most important for me, knowledgeable about birds. Highly recommend these folks!

The staff are so friendly, welcoming and really care for your pets! Nonjudgmental and don’t try to push meds or seem like they are taking your money. It’s a great homey atmosphere and I highly recommend!

We currently took our sick cat here who is being treated for pancreatitis… Ive worked in multiple vet clinics and after a few visits here i will never take my babies anywhere else. Dr. Haveman was so gentle and kind with my cat Rocky. Would highly recommend Sunnyside Veterinary Hospital. The atmosphere glows with compassion for pets and the staff were bright, friendly, knowledgeable, and did not rush through our appointment as other vet clinics have in the past. They also have their own cats and dogs that get to roam around the office creating an even more unique atmosphere. My cat can be fiesty at the vet but they handled him so well and they did not have to sedate him as has been the norm in the past. That is very expensive too so I give them props for that!

We’ve taken our animals to Dr Haveman for over twenty years. During that time he has helped us with a great variety of illnesses and problems; he is extremely knowledgeable and has found answers to very complex problems with our pets, which have included dogs, cats, birds, goats, horses, and sheep. (He doesn’t do farm calls anymore though… we got lucky and met him when he still was.)
He and his staff have seen us through tragedies and deaths with great compassion and care. Deaths have come through age and illness that couldn’t be treated, but most of the time our pets live long and happy lives thanks to him.
Dr Haveman’s love for his furry clients is obvious; when he first comes to the exam room he positions himself at the animal’s level and talks to them, calming them down. After the exam, he thoroughly explains the problem and the recommended course of treatment.
The hospital’s friendly cats and dogs are usually wandering around, and I like that. It’s not unusual to see a cat sprawled near a computer, calm as can be. It makes for a very homey atmosphere.
The staff is great, friendly and competent. They are all very compassionate when we lose a pet, which thankfully isn’t often.
Last year we had to put down two of my aged, beloved cats within a few months of each other; both Dr Haveman and his vet techs were so compassionate and caring, understanding my copious tears and giving me time to say goodbye.
I highly recommend Sunnyside Vet Hospital; veterinary care is expensive, so get the best and go here.
