I brought my senior indoor-outdoor cat here when he had a shoulder bite and an throat abcess. Wonderful vet; my cat is shy and a bit flighty, but he was surprisingly calm and the vet's gentleness and patience made a huge difference! The tech is also really kind and friendly, patient with my panic over my cat's injury.

I like that I get a choice about level of care (how much do I want the vet to look at, and do I want five-star platinum, all-the-tests, etc., just fix the problem as inexpensively as possible, or the middle route)...and I can change my choice depending on the findings. We avoided surgery because the office procedure went fine and home recovery was as expected. I also like the option of being with the cat during examination, it helps us both feel better.
And I love, love, love that it's an all-cat clinic.

I bring both my very old cats here and love them. Dr. Vokel and his staff really seem to care about cats. One of my old cats has developed the very bad habit of wanting to pee where she shouldn't. I was so frustrated I wanted to put her to sleep (I know it sounds mean but she's nearly 17 and has had a good life) He was very uncomfortable and wouldn't do that to a cat that is otherwise healthy because he actually cares. I know of other vets who have done that. He has been very helpful in offering other solutions and prices are very reasonable. Other vets I've been to seem burnt out or are all about jacking up the prices of pet health care similar to human healthcare and I just don't agree with that. He is very gentle with the cats and they are instantly soothed. They're so great I drive all the way from Clackamas to take my cats here.

Brought our cat here after a friend recommended them. I liked our other vet, but sometimes couldn't get in during an emergency or had to settle for a vet I didn't care for. Brought our cat to accent on cats in Oct. 2012 for an abscess. Dr. Voelker was very gentle and our cat wasn't upset at all. The price was reasonable--think I will make a permanent change.

My Cat was diagnosied with IBD in September and we were seeing a wonderful Vet across the street. I decided to make a change ONLY because I thought the enviorment would be better for my cat since we would be making a lot of trips, (the dogs and the craziness at the other office stressed him out). I made it clear to Volekel that I loved my other Vet and my intentions were to just have a calmer enviorment. My cat started to show signs of becoming sick again. and I was getting really worried about him. Everytime I went in, Voelkel was just focused on the IBD, and didn't seem too concered. I felt I was the one recommending this test and that test to rule out other reasons for his severe diarreha, vomiting and illness. I asked for a fecal, x rays, and bloodwork. He ruled out anything other than IBD and focused on diet with me. When the problems were getting worse he seemed overwhelmed and called many other DR.s for insight... even referring us to a Specialist all the was in Clackamas, who didn't help at all. When we finally came to our senses that we needed to go back toour other DR, our cat was very very sick. Our other Dr. was confused why Dr. Voelkel would call every other internist in the area and not even call him when he knew our cats illness the best. In the end our cat had severe parasites that turned into Pancrities that killed him. I feel so guilty that I trused Dr. Voelkel with his life. I wrote him a letter asking for a explanation of why he charged us for test that didnt rule out anything he had, and he didn't have the nerve to write me back. No, I'm, sorry for your loss, or anything. He puts on a show like he cares,( walking your cat carrier out to your car, ext)... but he obviously doesn't. I didn't want to write a bad review because I really liked him and his office in the begining but I needed to warn others, so they don't make the mistakes I did!!

Went in for an infection and was charged and EXTREME amount of money. He made me feel like a bad "parent" and that I do everything wrong and do not take care of my cat. Charged for one minute of an examination and for the infection to be cleaned (that took about five minutes). Was also charged the next day when I had to take my cat back again to be re-examined. This old man needs to just retire.....
