  I cannot recommend this veterinary hospital. My 12-year-old dog has severe arthritis and is in the final stage of his life. I brought him in specifically seeking pain management. Instead of addressing his documented condition, the veterinarian speculated about a possible tumor—with no symptoms, no signs, and no prior history—then refused to prescribe any pain medication unless I agreed to costly additional unwarranted testing. My dog had surgery at this same facility the year before with no indication any illnesses other than the removal of an abscess. I left this visit with no treatment, no relief for my dog, and no plan—after paying for the appointment. This is not the first issue. After a $2,300 surgery last year, I repeatedly requested anxiety medication that was never provided. Two months later, I was told I would need to pay for another exam just to get the prescription. At my most recent visit, I again requested anxiety medication and was again denied. This facility is more and about profits then it is for the actual care a pet owner's loved ones. I'm not sure if the necessary testing is just to get rich or for more cosmetic surgery for the veterinarian that we seen with her breast implants. This hospital does not listen to pet owners and appears to prioritize unnecessary visits and testing over compassionate care—especially for senior dogs. I will not return and have reported this facility to the California State Veterinary Medical Board.

  I was hoping that this would be my new Vet for my cat, but the experience I've had doesn't give me confidence to go back so I will be looking elsewhere. It was convenient to make an appointment online but that was where the convenience ended. I took my cat in for an intake as well as some bloodwork. I was "forgotten about" in a waiting room for about 45 minutes, which they apologized for and compensated by giving me one of the services for free, which I appreciated. It goes downhill again though - they gave me a prescription at the visit and spelled my name wrong. When I asked if it would be a problem, the front desk just said to email them if it is and they would send a new one (why not just fix it then...not professional) but whatever, I just wanted to get out of there. After playing phone tag with the doctor to get the results of her tests, I did appreciate the doctor's break down of the results. She prescribed two new things, for which I never received the prescriptions. After another phonecall confirming my email address with them to get the prescriptions, I also asked for a copy of the lab results. I have not received either. This lack of follow up and professionalism has left a bad taste in my mouth and degrades the trust I had in this particular vet.
