Portland Veterinary Hospital

Dr. Rafael Fontanez has treated three of my pets. He helped me through the death of my oldest terrier when her eyes, memory and hearing were gone but her body lingered. He was experienced, efficient and kind. He allowed me to take the lead and brought us to her passing with comfort medications and sound advice for me. He escorted us to the Rainbow Bridge with actual caring and great attentiveness.

He and his staff have brought my small poodle and my Shih-Tzu through simultaneous heart conditions. They both were literally at death’s door. This Vet’s great medications have “unbelievably” restored them to a high quality of life and given me a great deal more time with them.

I have had well-loved pets in my family for over 65 years. Dr. Rafael Fontanez is the “BEST” vet I have ever been privileged to work with. He is a skilled, sincere and deeply caring person.

Excellent care for our new puppy. Dr. Rafael has been great to work with and takes into account whatever is best for our specific animal. Highly recommend!

Dr. Fontanez is a caring and excellent vet, I would not hesitate to recommend this location to anyone. Thanks you for your excellent care.

This is the best care in the Corpus Christi and Portland area. Wonderful staff. Office is not fancy, but the service is most excellent and caring. Thank you Portland Vet

The care here are excellent. I have been to several places with my pets over the years and this is by far the best place I have ever gone. Thank you all for your wonderful care.

Lived in this area many years, without hesitation, Dr. Rafael is the best vet I have had the oppertunity to take my pets to. Attentive, sincere, kind, and very professional in his treatment and diognostics. He is sensitive to the expense of treatment, & considers my budget in that sense. I so appreciate his evident compassion to animals! I feel blessed that his practice is in my area!

Love this place. I can trust Dr. Rafael to help my pets! He is honest and cares. He doesn't try to run up the bill with unnecessary tests and proceedures.

Dr. Rafael is a great Vet. He walked ne through every step and process with my pets. Away worked with my budget and still managed to give me and my pets great service. Humble man and great staff.
