El Paso Animal Clinic: Gary D Oehmke DVM

I want to give serious props to El Paso Veterinary Clinic. Our little Papillon, Moo Moo, was viciously attacked on Thursday afternoon, so badly I actually thought he was dead when I got to him and still can't believe he survived the car ride to the vet. It's been a very difficult time for us getting through this as he is a member of our family and dearly loved.
Moo is not a patient there-we've never even been there before- I only went there because it was the closest vet to my house. I point this out because that did not stop them from acting immediately upon us walking in the door and rushing us to a room, essentially cutting in front of the other 20ish people there. Dr. Jeff Herod came in just seconds later (the door hadn't even shut yet) to start looking Moo over to see the extent of his injuries. The vet tech, Chloe, was incredibly helpful and understanding of my anxiety because I was definitely losing it. They quickly took him to get him on fluids, some pain meds, and get him cleaned up to see how bad it was.
Since then they've taken ridiculously good care of him. We've asked plenty of questions and they've provided answers and explanations when needed. Furthermore, they've been very understanding of our entire family coming and going, visiting Moo Moo over the course of three days, bringing him blankets and even letting Gouda visit.
He's home now, resting & healing. We couldn't be happier with the service we received and on top of that, when we went to pay our bill it was HUNDREDS of dollars LESS than what we expected. We have been so blessed that Moo survived this attack and I truly believe that without their expertise and attention, that would not have been possible.
Thank you to Dr. Herod for taking such great care of our Moo. Thank you Chloe for being so kind and understanding. Thank you El Paso staff for being so helpful, accommodating, patient, and affordable! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who has animals and cares about their wellbeing.

We have not had a good experience at all! We rescued a small pup from a horrible situation and he was healing very well from non contagious mange and a staph infection that covered his whole body. He had a flare up and we couldn't get into the vet we had seen before to get the medicine he desperately needed. We had seen the reviews and was told it was much cheaper there. The woman vet wasn't hardly in the room, prescribed medicine that isn't suppose to be for puppies under a yr old which totally knocked his immune system down and flared up his infection so badly he can't even move without being in pain. We took him back to the original vet we saw who said it will get worse before it gets better since his immune system is compromised. My poor baby is so much worse off than if we had done absolutely nothing and just let it progress on its own. We will NEVER be back. Plus they charged 4x as much as the original vet who actually knew how to treat the precious baby.

best vet in the country I would not take my percious dogs anywhere else

Not only is #DrGaryOehmke at the #ElPasoAnimalClinic in Derby one of the most dedicated to the care and health of his patients I've ever know. I've also known him to work around the clock and put the care of his patients above anything else. He's lived a life of sacrifices as his passion to care for and treat his patients is second to none.

I've known him for over 35 years in practice and I see that his passion and quality of treatment and willing to sacrifice is as strong today as it ever has been.

I'm grateful to him and #ElPasoAnimalClinic for there heartfelt dedication and commitment to the care of our pets and those pets they have rescued.

I love this vets office prescription are cheaper here, they actually care about helping you and your pets every size.

I love this vet!! They really care about animals; they don’t seem to be in it just for the money. They are very knowledgeable and helpful! Dr Herrod, always takes the time to love on my dog, and answer any questions I may have, they are also willing to work with you financially. All around good people.
