  The staff are not properly trained. Tried to draw blood from my son’s cat three times. I was in the room so I saw it, and no it wasn’t an issue with the animal struggling(very calm), they couldn’t get the needle properly. Medical staff do not need to be practicing on patients and traumatising them. Why send them out green? I told him about this and he is now at another vet but I don’t remember the name right now. Liz

  Can’t even get ahold of them during business hours cause it says it’s closed. Maybe they should fix that

  Montecito Veterinary Center took such good care of our dog Kevin. This vet reminded my husband and I of vets from back in the day which we really liked. That’s hard to find these days. We’ve taken him there twice now and I can tell that they really care about animals. Sarina was very kind and friendly and Dr Diehl has such a kind and calm demeanor. Kevin normally is quite nervous being at the vet but when I brought him here he was laying down calmly on the vets table and when Dr Diehl came in he continued to lay calmly on the table. That impressed me. Dr Diehl did a great job on Kevin’s teeth. He’s recovering well and now has beautiful white teeth. Thank you very much for caring for my boy!

  I had never come here with my girl before so I was quite anxious trying out a new office. Reviews did not lie. We felt very cared for and heard. The staff here legitimately cares for your fur baby’s well being. Savannah and Dr. Prown helped out my 10y/o Doberman and were honest with their work. Thank you Montecito Vet team. We will see you again (hopefully not too soon.)

  Dr. Patrick, where are you?! We miss you and the office is not the same without you. My black lab Abby, has a growth on her paw. One of the doctors in the office, who is not a regular, comes and goes, obviously does not check her messages, called me to give me an update on what the radiologist saw on x-ray. She left a message, I called back that day, called back the next day. I was told that they would definitely give her the message. She would be back on Friday, but in the meantime, they would have one of the other doctors called me to let me know what the x-rays showed. No one called, but one of the people at the front desk said that my dog was referred to a specialty hospital in Marin County. Why I asked? We will have one of the doctors call you. No one ever called on Friday, no one ever called on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday after numerous phone calls to the office. I finally asked for a manager, who told me that they have doctors that come and go that are not regulars and that must have been the problem. I was put through to one of the other doctors who comes and goes, and he explained and read Abby’s radiology report. My dog has had a lot of problems and thank goodness for Dr. Patrick or, she would not be with us today. I just feel that this office is in disarray, unorganized and the empathy is certainly not there anymore. I am going to another veterinary clinic.
