I have been taking my pets to Elyria Animal Hospital since I was a child with my first cat. I am now in my forties(that should give you a clue). I continue to take my animals there because of the Doctor and the staff. Dr. O'roark is excellent with the animals. I have one cat who hates everyone, except Doc. He has neutered all of my animals and you cant see a scar and the animals acted as if nothing happened to them. I had one cat that lived to be 20 years old. I currently have two cats that are fifteen and are treated when necessary by Elyria Animal Hospital. He had had diabetes and renal failure and Dr. O'roark showed his expertise in treating my beloved cat. Dr. O'roark and his staff are knowledgeable and extremely compassionate. They are the BEST!!!! I would not take my animals anywhere else.
