Kind, empathetic, and thoughtful are all accurate descriptions of those at Compass. Dr Connolly and those at Compass were supportive and understanding through a terminal illness in our very loved cat. Losing a loved one is never easy but they were so patient with us and really did help us as we struggled with this loss. I'm so grateful we found this clinic and would definitely recommend their services to others looking for a trustworthy and professional group. More...

Overall, I've had a really positive experience with this vet clinic and Dr. Connolly in particular.  My pup is pretty fearful and hates going to the vet, and he has been treated with patience and understanding.  He can get snippy when he's feeling threatened and I have never felt judged by them, but rather treated with compassion and told that I'm doing a great job caring for him.  Considering how stressed I am about his behavior and how much time I've put into trying to train him, it's a relief to be acknowledged for that work and not treated like a failed pet parent.  It's great for him too because the vet understands that he's gone through so much in his short life that it's amazing he's not worse than he is.  My other favorite thing is that I can email the vet directly and she always responds, often within a day.  This really saves us from unnecessary stress for my dog, because I don't need to come in to ask a quick question about heartworm meds or whatever else.The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because while Dr Connolly is clearly trained in Fear Free methods, I'm not sure the rest of the staff are.  We recently had an interaction with a new (to us) vet tech and it was not a great experience.  My pup needed a vaccine and she came in and didn't even acknowledge my dog.  He was wagging his tail and wanting to say hi but instead of greeting him and letting him get a sniff in, she immediately started preparing the needle.  At that point, he backed up into a corner and got scared.  She only got close to him when she needed to put the shot in, and even at that point, she didn't say hi to him.  I think this made the whole situation more stressful for him because it could've been more positive had she taken a minute or two to get one his level, let him sniff her, etc.  I think some training for staff on how to be fear free would really help!

The first time we went to them our baby was in bad shape but they were so good to her. A couple weeks later she passed away and we took her here to get cremated. They were very kind about it and about a week later they sent us flowers and a card sympathizing with us on our loss. It really helped us with her loss.I recommend coming here. The atmosphere is great and the staff are amazing, along with their vets. Its a great place that doesn't stress out my fur babies. I would give more stars if it was possible!!!!! More...

Best vet experience ever for dog and owner! Highly compassionate team with excellent people and pet skills. Their office is clean. I was always greeted with a smile. It was easy to schedule appointments, and they were always willing to get us in quickly when our pets were sick. Our dog absolutely loved going to see Dr. Connolly and her team. When we left the appointments we always felt like we had a plan, and they were great about sending follow up emails or phone calls to check in, which really made us feel like they truly cared. We moved out of state or we would have stayed with this clinic forever. More...

I went here for the first time in early spring when my cat, Ivy, swallowed a foreign body. After my visit with Dr. Connolly I will never go to another vet. Once I found out what was wrong with Ivy, I grew very worried and assumed the worst. Dr. Connolly's calm demeanor and incredible veterinary knowledge made me feel optimistic that Ivy would be okay, and she is! She's sitting next to me right now. Then, a few weeks ago my other cat, Blitz, developed a severe intestinal infection. Again, I was blown away by how amazing this clinic is. When I'm here I feel like they genuinely care for the well being of my animals. Everyone here from the ladies at the front desk to the doctors are so kind, professional, and compassionate. Dr. Connolly is so knowledgeable and gentle with my animals, she is the best vet I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Their prices are very affordable and they even call the next day to see how your pet is doing. I highly recommend this clinic if you're looking for a vet. More...

From curing years of digestive issues with a special diet to successfully treating a cancerous growth, Dr. Connolly and her staff have always gone out of their way and are the absolute best. We board him at Compass as well when we go out of town and he is so well taken care of. Most times I go to pick him up he is in someone's lap.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Connolly and her staff. I have an 8 month old CKCS who was experiencing chronic GI issues and had stopped eating. After several dismissive go arounds with his previous vet, I reached out to Compass for help. When Dr. Connolly did an initial exam, he was wincing from an abdominal check. She immediately jumped into action with a round of blood, urine and fecal work followed by a barium series. All indications led to inflamed stomach and bowels and referred me to a specialist who confirmed it. We are now on a course of treatment and healing. She also answered emails with concerns regarding home cooked diets and updates on his condition. Her and her staffs caring and compassion have been overwhelming to us. It was a drastic change from his old vet. Plus, my puppy loves her and everyone there. Thank you, Dr. Connolly and the Compass Staff for everything you have done so far. I feel you have helped save his life. More...

I'm new to Compass Veterinary Clinic and so happy I found them.  My primary reason for trying them out is that Dr. Connolly is a certified Fear Free practitioner, and I needed someone who would be really good with my anxious little dog.  So far she has treated both my cat and dog and has been wonderful with both.  She sensed my dog's fears immediately and knew just what to do for both his physical and emotional needs.  Additionally, every member of her staff that I've had the pleasure to meet so far is friendly and professional and so good with the pets.  If you are looking for a new vet, I highly recommend this clinic.  Located in the New Season's shopping center in Lake Oswego where Parkway Veterinary used to be.

First and foremost, I went to this vet solely on all of the reviews. It was certainly worth it!We brought our 7 month old German Shepherd puppy in to be treated with multiple concerns. We just moved here from CA and apparently our dog is struggling with getting acclimated to the many allergy issues that go hand in hand with the PNW.We waited for minutes, tech and staff were super friendly and professional and then we met the vet. She is super friendly, intelligent and straight forward. To say she has impressive credentials is a prodigious understatement. She's kinda a big deal in Oregon.She sat on the floor with my family and dog and spoke with us for an hour about all of our concerns. Not only did she help us understand, but she genuinely cares about not only her patients, but the families that come attached.Seriously though, she and her staff are by far the best I have experienced in my entire life. If you demand the best for your loved ones, you owe it to them to take them to the best. Lastly, extremely reasonably priced to the degree that I had to ask them twice if they were sure that was the final bill. Of course things are much more expensive in the Bay, but she could easily charge more and it would easily be justified.Impressive! Rock stars! More...

I am SO THANKFUL I discovered Compass Vet Clinic when I got my first puppy. I made sure to research and call every veterinary clinic in the Portland area. When I called Compass Vet, I spoke with Penny, who works as a client care specialist. Penny is the whole reason I decided to go to Dr. Connolly. Penny was so knowledgeable talked me through the entire vaccine schedule and neutering procedure for my puppy. From the moment I talked to Penny and met with Dr. Connolly I knew my puppy was in great hands. I also greatly appreciate how much Dr. Connolly cares about the health and wellness of the animals she works with. Last year when we had the horrible snow storm I had an appointment with Dr. Connolly. Although she had to cancel she made sure to call me personally and instruct me on what to do with puppy. She also rescheduled to meet with me ASAP.Another awesome perk of going to Compass Vet Clinic is all of the incredible prices!! My mom belongs to another local vet and pays so much more for similar care and prescriptions. Many times Compass has offered me 15% off on my flea and tic medications and discounted exams.  I have recommended Compass Vet to just about every person I know with animals. Their practice is growing and the new doctors on staff are just as wonderful and caring as Dr. Connolly. Even with a lot of new animals going to Compass Vet, I still have no problem scheduling appointments, which I really appreciate! More...

I would have never taken my dog here if it weren't for them accepting the humane society coupon to be spayed. Now, getting surgery with a coupon seems very odd to me, but alas, it was a good deal. I have a regular vet, I like them, they are 5 minutes from my house. If compass wasn't 45 minutes away, I would consider a switch. I made several calls about getting my pup spayed, Compass was definitely the nicest on the phone. I made an appointment and offered to get the records from my other vet to them. They said don't worry about it, and they did it for me. They never made me feel bad for coming in on a discount spay. They did the normal stuff, and tried to up-sell me on a few things, they are a business, and i don't mind in the least. They noted that she would be due for some of her shots the following month and some more in a few months, so we went ahead and did the vaccinations at the same time. From Start to finish everybody was very nice, the surgery scar looks great and my dog is happy and healthy. Take your pet here. More...

Dr. Connolly is so good with my kitties that we followed her across town when she opened Compass. She makes sure they're comfortable, gets down to their level (they are rarely on the standard examining table, as they tend to be more comfortable on the floor or her lap), and coos at and snuggles them as if they're her own. She clearly loves each animal that comes through her door. Even my scaredy cat loves her! Her prices are the most affordable I've seen, and when I've had a larger-than-expected bill, she's worked with me. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Connolly and Compass.

After a rough year and the loss of my 5 year old cat Mitri, my expectations of vets and vet clinics were non-existent. Most clinics (in my personal experience) gouge you on the fees for service and treat your pets like an afterthought. When I found the coupon for this clinic for their spay/neuter special of $35/male and $50/female, I thought the service might reflect the low fee. I was so pleasantly surprised and grateful at what ensued. My new kitten Chuck needed to be fixed. (I thought Chuck was female but it was determined that she was actually male). From the first phone call to make the appointment all the way to picking up Chuck after surgery, the service and compassion was phenomenal and way above average. The price list/fee schedule was more reasonable than every clinic I've tried. The staff were LOVING, and compassionate to Chuck's fear and my concerns. The whole team, from receptionist to vet tech to veterinarian were ALL so respectful and knowledgeable and generous.
