Our Story
Welcome to Oregon Veterinary Referral Associates (OVRA), where our journey began in 1997 in the heart of Corvallis. With a vision to provide exceptional specialized veterinary care to the southern Willamette Valley and surrounding regions, OVRA quickly established itself as a leader in the local veterinary community. In 1998, we moved to Springfield, and since then, our dedicated team has grown to include a diverse group of board-certified specialists in small animal internal medicine and surgery, along with expert consultants offering a wide range of supplemental veterinary specialty services.
At OVRA, we take immense pride in our professional partnerships with the regional veterinary community. Since our inception, these collaborations have enabled us to deliver advanced and specialized veterinary care to over 25,000 clients and their beloved pets.
Our hospital is more than just a workplace; it is a community that values work-life balance, employee support, and having fun together. We laugh a lot — a good sense of humor is a must! Our staff regularly participates in events like local baseball games and community gatherings, such as Bark in the Park. These activities strengthen our team and allow us to connect with the community we serve. They’re also a lot of fun!
Our core values—honesty, trust, accountability, and high standards of care—are the foundation of everything we do. Joining OVRA means joining a team committed to excellence in veterinary care and fostering a supportive environment for both our staff and the pets and people we serve.
