  We have been seeing Dr. Diaz for 20+ years through the lives of four dogs. He and his team are simply the best.

  Came in for my cat. The "care" was pretty rushed. Also I got some vaccinations and some ear cleaning only later to find out I've been over charged a lot. Avoid this place at all costs.

  Extremely disappointing experience overall. One of the vets we saw genuinely seemed afraid of dogs and conducted the “check-up” in a rushed, uneasy manner, which is not something you want when trusting someone with your pet’s care. On top of that, both the techs and vets consistently push additional procedures and treatments at every visit, quickly turning routine appointments into bills in the hundreds of dollars. What makes this worse is that once you’ve paid, they offer zero support with insurance claims. They won’t help submit anything, won’t restate or document what they recommended, and won’t even clarify details needed to justify the procedures to insurance. This feels far more like a profit-maximizing operation than a clinic focused on animal care or supporting pet owners. Once your card is charged, you’re on your own. I strongly recommend going to a local vet who actually cares about your pet and is willing to advocate for you as an owner. This place is a joke.

  VCA went above and beyond and did the seemingly impossible. With two days to go before an international flight our cats were missing EU health certificates which are required for EU layovers even if the final destination is not in the EU. Dr Ali and Veronica rushed to submit the forms to the USDA and got them approved on time and the forms returned stamped. Sam was also a huge help in getting us the support on time. VCA saved us thousands of dollars and we could not be more grateful. Trust this place to help you!
