Defensive, cold, nasty women on the phone. Ridiculous prices and non refundable deposits required. This place is horrible. I cancelled nearly three weeks before my appointment due to new findings in my dogs condition. They wouldn't give me back $750 I had to pay to secure an appointment. Furthermore, the vet never once phoned to discuss my dog at all. I was going to drive 11 hours to come here based on what I say online and Facebook. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

Dr Rocheleau and his amazing team at the Espanola Animal Hospital saved my precious Mollys life and treated and cared for her as if she was their own. They did an emergency operation to remove her spleen and a massive tumor. The Dr is very direct, straight and to the point and knows exactly what he is talking about. Some may not like this type of personality but we appreciate it. He and his staff obviously care for the animals more than most and the facility is top notch. For the expertise and care your pet receives, their prices are more than fair and are actually much less than I would figure they would be. We will forever be indebted to them and struggle to find the words to express how thankful we are for their skill and care and for giving us the priceless gift of more time with my baby girl

Good thing they have cremation. PJ is a narcissist and a legend in his own mind. Killed our dog as a result of several botched surgeries.

As a rescuer and volunteer with a local rescue, I have seen numerous pets treated with extreme care, limb-sparing surgeries and the most innovative procedures available to dogs and cats at this hospital. They really do have your pets' best interests at heart. Dr. Rocheleau and his staff go to great lengths to learn new techniques. They work with the best orthopedic surgeons & mentors in the world to bring state-of-the-art procedures to our area. Highly recommended care at a very affordable price comparably.

Please please please do yourself and your pet’s a favour and go to Walden animal hospital in lively.!!!! I have heard so many negative things about PJ Rochealua (from his staff and former staff, as well as a lot of people in the community that have dealt with him) that you will regret ever doing business with him. I had to report him to CVO (college of veterans of Ontario) because of the horrible dealings we’ve had with this person. I know other people that have reported him also.

I found the vet very condescending and egotistical. Went in for a 20 min. consult. We were there for 3 hrs listening to the vet prattle on about ho smart he thinks he is. Told us how much the operation was and what was covered. Operated on Monday, my dog was dead the following Sunday from infection (septic). No after-care given, no partial refund given. There are extenuating circumstances to the infection, but again, no proper after-care. My opinion is the vet is in it for the money and the ego boost. He only cares about his successes, the others are forgotten.

had consult about stem cell rejuvination and advised my dog had cushings disease. The Vet asked how I knew she had cushings. Advised my vet told me. He asked what tests- I did not know exactly as they took her into a room to do the testing. He said he liked to do his own testing & then said this dog 110% does NOT have Cushings we can do the surgery ($1800) a couple of months later she started developing all of the symptons of Cushings - increased thirst, pot belly, sores on body - she started pooping orange and vomiting - brought her in - kept her for a week and didn't really do anything except produce a huge bill and sent her home with hundreds of dollars of pills. There are 3 types of Cushings: adrenal, pituitary & veterinary interference. He knew she had Cushings but wanted to make money. I asked for her records and they said they would email them but didnt, called and was told they were destroyed because dog was deceased. Most upsetting thing ever experienced

DO NOT USE THIS VET, COUNTLESS PETS HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES DUE TO PJ ROCHELEAU'S INCOMPETENCE. HE SHOULD BE BANNED BY THE ONTARIO COLLEGE OF VETERINARIANS IMMEDIATELY, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE SHAM THIS PLACE IS

Dr. Rocheleau was very thorough and easy to talk to during our consultation. The staff there seem very sensitive and caring, they treated us and our pups with respect and kindness. In our opinion its well worth the drive in to Espanola from Spanish. Thanks again for the great service!

Dr. Rocheleau treated my dog Rylee in 2015 for discospondylitis. She was paralyzed from the waist down and he diagnosed her within minutes of seeing her. Flash forward to April 2017 and he provided her with life changing spinal surgery (multi level hemilaminectomy). We were able to treat our dog close to home, by someone we trust and at a fraction of the cost that you would pay down south. This has been such a stress relief for our family. Two weeks post-op and she's wagging her tail wider than ever before and walking like normal. We are forever grateful for Espanola Animal Hospital!

I never thought it would happen to me, but my dog was hit by a car after I made the mistake of letting her off leash to do her business. Heartbreaking. My vet referred me to Espanola Animal Hospital so that Mila could have her broken leg fixed. This was such a stressful experience, never dreamed I'd be in this situation but Espanola seemed well equipped for me and Mila and like they handle this situation all the time. They were so good about helping me secure financing and Mila was all fixed up that same evening and I took her home the next morning. I was a mess and they took it all in stride. I even have pet insurance now, so if anything bad ever happens again, I'm covered! I'm so glad my vet sent me here. They really do care. It shows. I could feel it.

We have been clients for the past five years and I don't often take the time to leave feedback, but the service I receive at the Espanola Animal Hospital is outstanding! I will be continuing my business with PJ and the staff indefinitely. They have the latest medical equipment; some of which is exclusive to Northern Ontario! I couldn't think of a better place for my two dogs Duke and Ellie to be treated.

I have been to many clinics with my animals, I had an excellent experience right from the front office staff to the doctor seeing my pets. I felt that they really cares and feel the same as I do that my pets are family members not just animals. If you really want a caring place to bring your pets I highly recommend this one.

Talk about a vet that is only out for the money, he will bleed every penny out of you for procedures that will only prolong suffering.

This clinic is WAY over priced....then I was told they wouldn't see my dog anymore since he wasn't neutered. But, they would neuter him for $500. Today's visit cost me $296 dollars. WOW....
