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.

I gave them 1 star so I could give them a rating. They are the worse l, my dog was having complications while giving birth. I understand they were on lunch but my baby was having an emergency I was told they couldn’t help me because they was having lunch and told me to go to Elk Grove on east Stockton Blvd which was another 10 minutes away. Due to their lack of concern for my baby that puppy didn’t make it causing the rest of the puppies to be in danger, elk Grove vet, veterinarian hospital, deal what they could, but this dog was stuck and they had a hard time pulling it out and I think if I would’ve gotten service from South veterinarian Hospital, the other puppies would have made it so if you have an emergency, please don’t take your dogs to hear. Worst service ever

No longer a small business owned by my former veterinarian who apparently retired. The corporate owner charges more for services. I didn't get the additional xrays for my dog because their charges were much higher than another veterinarian"s. They are attempting to attract new customers with a low $25 exam fee.
