Richboro Veterinary Hospital

The staff at Richboro Veterinary Hospital is fantastic. Shiloh and I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Sampson today. He is so warm, friendly and accommodating!! I highly recommend Dr. Sampson and staff for all of your veterinary needs. My dog is a Chow Chow. They are very reluctant by nature. He absolutely loves Dr. Sampson!! He definitely has that magic touch

I am so happy that a friend recommended me to come see Dr. Sampson because he really is the best vet. He has incredible bedside manner. My dog is always so excited to come to here!

Very grateful to Dr. Sampson and the whole staff. Everyone is very nice and patient. Dr. Sampson is very knowledgeable and really listens and cares about our fur babies. He has successfully completed my cat’s eye surgery (Icy says hello!) while other vets refused to even take him. And Today he has found a way to become friends with my anxious and hyperactive dog during her annual exam, blood tests and vaccinations. The nurse was very nice, gentle and super patient to my dog. I can’t say enough how happy we are to find such a wonderful doctor and team like you. Many many thanks to everyone for all your hard work!!!

I have been using Dr Linn since 1991 or 92 up to and including June of 2022. The best care is what I have received from everyone at Richboro.
I have 2 dogs and needed to go to visit a sick cousin and so I boarded my dogs until Monday morning. When my husband and I arrived on Saturday morning, we walked in to new people at the front desk (who didn't even introduce themselves and then I saw a doctor who was not Dr Linn walk into the office area.

When my husband and I left the office, I said that because it was Easter Sunday, I guess Dr. Linn and his family went away and he got another Vet to cover for him. We left and I never thought about it again.

Monday morning my husband went to pick up the dogs and he walked in and handed me a business card with Dr. Sampson's name on it and said Dr. Linn sold Richboro.

It took me a while because I couldn't believe he would sell the practice and not notify his patients.

I called the office on Tuesday morning and told the receptionist that I wanted all my records.

After a month or so, I thought about it and called Dr. Linn. We spoke briefly because it was no longer his practice. I asked if he could have Dr Sampson call me so that I could explain the situation and he said he would.

About 1-1/2 weeks later my phone rings and I answer it and it was Dr Sampson. When I was done, Dr Sampson said he doesn't want to take care of my dogs.

I will miss Dr Linn, he was so wonderful.
I will miss Robin who helps when the dogs stay overnight.
We will especially miss Melissa who has groomed.one of my dogs for 9 years and 1 for over 2 years.

I am glad I found a welcoming Vets office with a warm and welcoming family atmosphere.

I cannot say enough good things about Richboro Veterinary Hospital and Dr. Linn. If you're looking for a vet but wondering if this one is good, affordable, helpful, kind, gentle with animals, etc., the answer is YES to all of those. Go here.

This is going to be a long review, but I want everyone to know how excellent they are.

On Sunday, 4/17, my cat Kellen started throwing up. Vets are closed on weekends, so we had to take him to the vet Monday. His vet had no openings and no vet in the area would squeeze him in. Each office expressed concern that he had a blockage (which is life threatening and can go south within 24) hours but refused to see him. They recommended we take him to the ER.

Unfortunately, all of the local ERs were only accepting the most severe cases at their own discretion. Many of these vets were quoting over $250 just to walk in the door, and stating that x-rays and ultrasounds would need to be performed and be hundreds more. The only open ER had an 8 hour wait, so we decided to try his vet again in the morning.

At this point, Kellen got worse. He was lethargic, not eating, I couldn't tell if he was using the litter box, and he had gone from throwing up food to throwing up nothing because there was nothing in his belly. These are very common symptoms of blockages. We tried again on 4/19 to get any vet to see him and stressed the time-sensitive nature of the issue; 48 hours with a blockage is enough time for a kitty to pass away. Again, no one could get him in and kept reiterating that he would likely die without treatment (which is a horrible thing to say when not offering treatment).

We called the ER back to let them know we were on our way, and they told us not to come-- they were at capacity. We were on our way to Quakertown Vet Hospital, which is an hour and a half from our home, when I found Richboro Veterinary Hospital on Google. I decided to give them a call as a last ditch effort.

Not only did they get us in within a couple hours, they were WONDERFUL. There was absolutely no wait between when we showed up and were seen. Dr. Linn took the time to address my many questions, soothe my worries (because at this point it had been over 2 days and I was beyond frantic), and treat Kellen. He was so gentle with him, gave him a thorough examination, declared it to likely be gastritis based on his findings (not a blockage!) and gave Kellen some anti-nausea medicine with clear follow-up instructions should the issue return. We were in and out within a half hour, maybe less. He also took the time to give him a general wellness exam. He saved me so much heartache AND money. I have never met a vet as good as Dr. Linn.

I tried literally every vet within a 30 mile radius of the 19116 zip code, and I am so frustrated with all of them. I don't care how far away you live, Richboro Vet is THE BEST.

Also, Kellen is now totally fine and very happy : ) Cat tax attached.
