Norman Lohr, DVM - Nile Point Veterinary Hospital Bakersfield, California

This place is ridiculous. I’ve been calling to make an appointment and first they told me they did not have appointments until January and then they said they are not taking new clients. How is this possible? Also, their webpage states they take cases on emergency basis and that is not true. Don’t waste your time calling here.

Very professional. Kind , and thoughtful to customers.Pets as well.

He has been our vet for at least 30yrs. Vet and staff have been the epitome of professionalism. Highly recommend.

Dr. Lohr has always been our vet, 25+ years. He is personable, kind, and an excellent vet.

You can't find a better vet for your pet. You get what you pay for and Dr. Lohr is the best in Bakersfield.

Not sure what the previous commenter is talking about. Obviously shes a miserable person and thinks the world revolves around her.. But on the contrary, I truly disagree. Not only were they prompt, professional and courteous. They were compassionate and understanding during a difficult time as a dog parent...

Very friendly staff, showed empathy toward our hurt family member.

This facility has lost all of its charm. I have not even seen or talked to Dr. Lohr since May of this year. I thought he was professional but as of late, he has shown that not only is he no longer professional but doesn't take the time to see you with your pet. It's all done through his incompetent staff. My six month old kitten was taken two weeks ago for her spay surgery and that was a complete mess. I thought we would get to see the doctor but nope, his incompetent staff member came in with her with an e collar that is for dogs not cats, it was awful. She couldn't access her food or water or even use the box with it. We called the hospital line to ask what to do and they said to remove it and put it back on. Well, it was easy to remove it but putting it back on was a no. My daughter and I proceeded to try to get it back on her for four hours with no luck. I called my nephew, who's kitten had just been spayed two weeks prior and thank goodness my niece brought over the one they had which was the correct size. Dr. Lohr's staff needs to wear an e-collar to understand what animals actually go through with those stupid cones. They could have told us that she would need one, my daughter spoke to them several times the day before, there are a multitude of choices on the internet and we could have had something already here for her that was much less cumbersome. I'm disappointed in his office and will not be returning with ANY of our pets.

Just took my new 3 month old Green Cheek conure to see Dr. Lohr, he and his staff are very nice and knowledgeable. Didn't feel rushed and answered all my questions!!

My mom got an appointment really quick, the next day even

I love this veterinarian hospital. They have the best staff and my dog lulu loves them.

On 3/15/21 I took my dog Lucky in for the rattle snake vaccine. He also had another shot that was needed. I was charged a $58 exam/consultation fee & told to come back in 3 weeks for the second rattle snake vaccine shot. Took him in today for the second shot. He was taken back for shot and gone 2 minutes & I was charged another exam/consultation fee of $58. I think this is wrong and I will not be taking Lucky back.

Great doctor and great nurses.

Great vet. He even takes care of birds!

Excellent bird vet, would definitely recommend Took care of my African Grey parrot.

I took my puppy and they did a great job

Dr. Lohr and staff are the greatest. Loving towards the animals and thorough in their treatment

Took my Dog in for surgery this morning to remove a tumor. Their very kind and thorough with the pets. Doc explains in detail of what to expect. I give great recommendation for this hospital!

They are not taking any new clients and that should be posted on here so people know. Especially owners of different breeds like birds since this is the only vet I can find in this city that will see birds and the fact that they can’t even fit me and my small parakeet in for a check up and referred me to a hospital in LA that is two hours away is super frustrating. Since they are the only hospital that sees birds in this area they should allow exceptions for those less common pets.

Dr. Lohr and staff are amazing people. They explained everything regarding our little guy's illness. They never once made us feel like a couple of dum-dums. Doctor Lohr even showed us the x-rays to specify our Eddie's injury. Thanks to all the great caregivers at Nile Point Veterinary Hospital. Our sincerest gratitude, Carlos and Michelle Arredondo.

I have been taking both my felines to Dr. Jordan, Heidi and Dr. Norman Lohr for Vaccinations and what ever ailments and health concerns. I am Very happy with their diagnosis, an prescribed medications. I hold him this establishment in high regards and at the level of seniority as I did with Dr. Banks of Bakersfield Veterinary Hospital. Nike Point Veterinary Hospital is close to where I live and recommend them highly! Christopher L. Acosta

Everybody was very nice,very helpful. When i took in my duaghters sick bird. I liked how they explained what they were going to do & cost before doing anything.

The BEST vet my dogs have been to in Bakersfield. Staff caring, professional, and courteous at all times.

The staff is friendly. Took my dog in because something was bothering his ear. Appointment made Showed up 10 mins before appointment Wasnt seen till 20 minutes past appointment Was given a story about his ear them having to put him asleep and recovery and over night and boom 500 easy. Well i dont just have 500 laying around so i have to wait. Two days later. Dogs ear just fine. Stuck my finger in there just to be sure it wasnt sensitive. Dog happy and back to normal self. Soooooo what the f was i going to pay 500 for?

Wonderful vet. They have taken care of all our pets for years. Can't imagine a better vet office!

My bird injured her foot and needed some care. I called and was offered an appointment within an hour of when I called. I took Sunny to this clinic and was impressed with how very clean it was. The other thing that impressed me was how genuinely nice and caring everyone was. The doctor told me her leg was not broken. He gave her a little shot after weighing her (102 grams). He also mixed up some medicine and showed me how to give it to her. We had a follow up appointment last week. Our feathered family member is back to eating, flying, jumping, her foot is close to 100% well. Thank You Nile Point, you helped a sweet little bird in her time of need.

I've worked in the Veterinary industry for 18yrs, I took my tortoises to Dr. Lohr as the the Vet I work for does not treat them. Dr. Lohr was so knowledgeable. We had to say goodbye to our baby Mork and Dr. Lohr was not only kind and compassionate but gave our family one of his baby tortoises so our Mindy would not be alone. Dr. Lohr and his staff are wonderful and we are so grateful for their care.

My sweet dog Dolly has a sore on her paw we have an appointment on the 11@2pm to check out this problem.

Dr Lohr and staff are top notch! I have taken a couple of different birds there and he really knows how to treat them properly. I seldom have to wait more than 5 or 10 minutes. He costs a little more than I would like but it beats having to drive to another major city to find someone with his expertise.

The Staff are so kind and helpful. Gentle doctor. Love them!
