Heart of Oregon Veterinary Cardiology

For pet owners in Oregon, receiving a diagnosis that involves their pet’s heart can be a frightening and overwhelming experience. At Heart of Oregon Veterinary Cardiology, we are here to provide not just advanced medical expertise, but also a deeply compassionate approach to this challenging journey. Located in West Linn, we are a specialty practice focused on providing outstanding, patient-centered medicine for pets with cardiac conditions. We understand that your pet is a beloved family member, and we are honored to be entrusted with their cardiac care. Our mission is to clearly communicate your pet’s diagnosis and then work tirelessly to give you and your companion the best possible quality of life and longevity.

Our practice operates primarily as a veterinary referral service, which means we work in close collaboration with your primary care veterinarian. When your regular vet identifies a potential heart issue, they refer you to our specialists for an in-depth cardiac evaluation. This collaborative approach ensures that your pet receives the most comprehensive and specialized care possible. We believe in open communication and a supportive environment for our clients. As a client noted, "Dr. Atkinson was wonderful and talked about the procedure step by step," making a potentially stressful experience much more comfortable. Our team is known for being professional, organized, and welcoming, ensuring that every visit is as seamless and reassuring as it can be.

For added convenience, we also see cases on Mondays at our Beaverton location at Tanasbourne Veterinary Emergency.

Our facility is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a wheelchair-accessible entrance, a dedicated wheelchair-accessible parking lot, and a wheelchair-accessible restroom. These features ensure that all members of our community can comfortably visit our clinic. We operate on a scheduled appointment basis, so we kindly recommend that you or your referring veterinarian make an appointment in advance to ensure we can provide the thorough and timely care your pet deserves.
