This vet office will see you but won't have a vet in to actually write the prescription you need. They will refuse to email it, and will make you come back when the vet who is able to write scripts is in. They will refuse to communicate with any pharmacy, you will need to physically mail in the only hard copy of the script. They will not accept the pharmacy's calls and will not send an email to the pharmacy confirming your script or make you an additional copy. All I needed was a verbal "yes" from them to get a pet food order started at an online pharmacy and they denied it. They only gave me 2 refills of this food, and want me to come back for an additional visit for more. It's for cat IBS and is the only thing she can eat. This food they prescribed isn't sold anywhere locally besides their clinic, and the cans they have available they've chosen to mark up 2x the retail price (nearly $7 a can). This forces me to purchase from them while I wait the 1.5-2 weeks for the mail back and forth with the online pharmacy. Other clinics previously have given me an entire year's worth no problem. I'd recommend seeking care elsewhere. read more

My fur baby, Peach (guinea pig), nearing 7 years, started to gradually lose weight over a few days. It was Saturday, Dec. 17th, 2022 and I decided to take her to see a vet. The place that had availability to see her that same day (not her regular vet) was ARCHVET Animal Hospital and Emergency (Winchester location). She saw Dr. McBirney who did a general exam, abdominal ultrasound and blood test. All results came back normal. Dr. McBirney even said and wrote in her notes that Peach was in great health for her age. After I got Peach back and brought her to my car, I heard crackling sounds and noticed her neck/chin was sopping wet. I immediately brought her back to the hospital for a re-check. Dr. McBirney said her lungs and heart sounded normal, thought she might be hyper salivating and suggested a meloxicam injection to which I agreed. Peach was discharged back to me and I brought her home. Shortly after I got home, I realized that the crackling sounds were coming from her mouth and her sopping wet neck/chin was because she had completely lost the ability to swallow. I called the hospital back to speak with Dr. McBirney and to bring her back in, but the receptionist told me that they were at capacity and couldn't see her despite having just been there a couple hours earlier. I sent a video of Peach regurgitating her saliva to the hospital. Dr. McBirney called me back several hours later, after midnight, suspected Peach may have sustained a traumatic injury during the abdominal ultrasound, and wasn't able to offer any help for how to restore Peach's swallowing. Sadly, from the moment Peach lost her ability to swallow, her body began to slowly shut down. I stayed by her side the entire time and after a long 34 hours, on Monday, Dec. 19th, 2022 she passed away :(. I don't believe an abdominal ultrasound, which is supposed to be a safe and non-invasive procedure, should have caused a traumatic and fatal injury to my fur baby. Negligence may have been involved and as such I filed a complaint with the California Veterinary Medical Board to investigate. read more

My pup had a medical need that needed to be seen asap. Her reg vet couldn't see her for another 2 days so they recommended an emergency pet vet. Instead of going to the usual expensive ones you automatically think of, my husband thought remembered that ArchVet had just opened and it is much closer to our home. It couldn't be much more than the usual places. I called, we got a same day appt., the assistant was very nice! The doctor was knowledgeable and reassuring. She prescribed a treatment & meds. The cost was reasonable. The exam room was clean and spacious. The reception area is huge yet homey. Very cute. The receptionist is nice also. Since they were able to take my baby in right away, I just may switch to them permanently. read more

Our go to spot when our pups are in need of some attention as we live a few blocks over - have a lot of availability for appointments and very clean facility - they have cute tennis balls for dogs (our are usually too into smells to be interested) Usual exam fees are ~$90, $120 on weekends / holidays but if secondary re-exam is needed it's $70. We've seen Amy McBirney and she's an excellent veterinarian - extremely informative and really cares about your pet, does a great job of following up with promised information and explaining what is wrong with your pet - even if it's not great news, she has a lot of empathy and has called us to check in on our dogs. Strongly recommend them if you're in need of a vet, but you do need to be patient if you're not here with an emergency (even when you have an appointment, we've waited for over 30 minutes) as they can get busy with other clients who are coming in for urgent care. They are open until 1am daily and you can usually get the same day or next day appointment -- which is much better than other vets in area who can't get you in for a week, so you do pay a small premium here. read more

I was a return client, because I received good care for my elderly, arthritic dog when her legs were painful, a while back. Both times, I've visited because the regular vet was unable to accommodate a same-day visit. This time, I went with a young cat that stopped eating for a few days while one of her favorite humans has been away on business. I scheduled an appointment ahead of time, which is convenient. When I arrived, the vet provided a basic physical exam and determined no fever, no signs of pain, nothing out of the ordinary. However, the treatment plan delivered to me included $2000+ of charges, including subcutaneous fluid (which I am familiar with, as I've administered it to my other cat in the past), two different pain meds (seems strange, given the assessment was "no observed pain"), and an appetite stimulant. This is very odd to me, the amount of treatment recommendations made, prior to completing a full objective assessment (including blood work, which will show whether the cat is truly dehydrated or not, or any other possible physical abnormalities). I declined the pain meds, and was open to doing the blood work and x ray, in order to ASSESS prior to agreeing to treatment recommendations (so I'm not agreeing to things that are not actually medically necessary). There was lots of back-and-forth with the vet and vet tech on the given treatment plan. My priorities were to (1) assess, then (2) choose treatment options based on results. My hope was to be able to see the X ray and determine if anything seemed off. I initially refused it when informed it's a "bundle" to have it sent out to a specialist to be read, then eventually they agreed to just do the x ray. It would make sense to have the X ray initially, then the customer has the option whether or not to consent or not consent (as you go), instead of up front agreeing to treatments that are likely not necessary. Surprise - the blood work came back typical, cat was not dehydrated. Vet was then agreeable to not doing the subcutaneous fluids. I left with a prescription for an appetite stimulant for the cat, and the cat is doing fine now (eating again). So much hassle and headache to avoid un-needed treatment procedures and inaccurate treatment plan/recommendations. And not to mention, the vet tech really appeared to take it personally when I declined certain services that weren't based on the given assessment. It's OK if you want to practice using needles and giving fluids, I suggest an orange rather than a living cat. I will try a different emergency vet next time for sure - it seems like this office is really trying to play on people's emotions when they're feeling vulnerable and concerned about their pets. Maybe vet care differs from the medical field, but with humans we typically use ADPIE and assess in order to diagnose, prior to treating a patient. What a headache and too much hand holding needed to receive accurate care here. read more

I've debated writing this review. I went to arch vet after my cat either had a bad fall or got hit. It's an emergency vet, so they take walk ins and it was near my house so I went. However, I feel this place is a giant rip off taking advantage of people in desperate situations and was told to pay 15k for a surgery or euthanize my cat after already spending over $2000 just on XRAYS. Let me explain-- I was charged $448 for each set of X-rays (different views). I was then charged nearly $300 for an "expert" to read said X-rays. I was also charged $500 for sedation and reversal for them. So, that's ultimately nearly $2000 for X-RAYS. I was charged $347 for blood work, and was told ultrasounds were reccomended at a grand total of $730 (I declined). With medications it would have been a $4000 trip. In the end my cat had broken her pelvis and I was told I would need to pay for a surgeon consult but the estimate would be probably around 15k, I was then told she would be in pain and have issues and not live a pain free life if I didn't get the surgery and was given euthanasia options (almost $800!) I went to SAGE and was given a free consult, free ultrasound and more medications for my cat. I followed up with them the next day and was told quite frankly the injury could heal on its own. I then ended up going to warm springs in Fremont as they do a ton of surgeries- WARM SPRINGS wanted only $5.5k for the surgery, but told me euthanasia is not needed and she could heal nearly 100% on her own also! Today I went to them for her surgery as a best option and after all the preops was told they wouldn't even do it because she had healed so well. I paid $457 for X-rays, anesthesia, blood work & an ultrasound and was returned the rest of my money. It's absolutely insane that a place could charge nearly $2000 for X-rays to begin with, and although I understand it's an emergency vet/ the fact I wasn't told there's the possibility for her to heal on her own and feel bullied into either paying for an extensive 15k surgery I could get for 1/3 of the price elsewhere or conider EUTHANIZING my young, otherwise healthy cat who is almost at a full recovery is wild. Please check our sage and if your pet is in need of surgery warm springs is THE place to go. read more

Everything. doctor Jessica Diaz was rude and terrible. Overpriced. A shot the is normally under $100 is over $200 there. They refused to provide prescription so I can try to get the medication somewhere else if needed. read more

Archvet is very convenient for all our pets (we have 2 cats and 1 dog). We have used the vet services for 1 cat and our 1 dog and the customer service has been great. We also use the boarding services for our cat and they treat Outlander like a king. It's true that prices are a bit higher than other places but I feel they are more personable and answer my questions more throughly than other animal hospitals. We will continue to trust Archvet for the health and care of our 4 legged loved ones. read more

I noticed my cat was urinating a lot less so I took him to ArchVet and they diagnosed him with a blockage. They treated him right away. Prices were comparable to surrounding Vet hospitals I researched. Dr. Kong and Dr. Kong were caring and empathetic along with the techs who helped. The hospital had a very calm and welcoming presence and definitely didn't look or smell like a Pet Hospital...more like a 5 star Hotel. The receptionists who Checked us in and out were also really sweet and offered me coffee, tea and a treat as I waited for my Cat. Definitely coming here the next time my cat has any issues. Thank You ArchVet!! read more

My mom made an appointment at 5PM for our dog to have shots. It should've been a quick appointment. At 5:45 she texts me that she's STILL there waiting. People showed up after her and were seen first. When she asked why, the front desk told her that those people are seeing the doctor and she's just getting shots. They were extremely careless and had no respect for her time. So are certain appointments more important than others? Sounds like they just care about making more profit. What's the point of scheduling appointments to have people wait an hour and then have no sense of urgency to see them? Please take your money somewhere else. Will make sure to never recommend anyone to this terrible clinic. read more

Dr Solomon and his team are absolutely the best! Always available, always with a huge smile

I took my cat here because I was pretty sure he had arthritis. I did get a diagnosis and a prescription for gabapentin for him to take. Thank goodness I have pet insurance because it was/is really expensive. I don't care so much about that, because I can submit my bills to the insurance company and get reimbursed. My complaint is that EVERY month when I call his refill in, they tell me they will call back when it is ready. They NEVER do! I have to call multiple times before they bother refilling it. You would think they would be in a bigger hurry to take my money! Update, same day: I had called a second time about a refill I had called in three days ago. I told them I was almost out, and they called me back and told me I could come in and get a partial refill as they don't know when they are getting their next shipment. I have enough now for , I think 4 days. They might not get their shipment for two weeks! This is a common pain med that both dogs and cats can take! You would think they would plan ahead. Another woman was at the counter complaining of the very same problem I had, of not getting called back for refills. They need a better system. On the plus side, it is a very clean facility and they are open long hours. read more

I took my pup here for when she got parvo from Wag hotel. She also got bit a dog in the same visit from wag and she had an assessed develop. Initially I didn't know she had parvo until she started vomiting and pooping blood. I rushed her to this vet. They immediately took her in and got tested and she came back positive. They immediately took her in and hospitalized her with an IV. The staff was so nice and friendly. The vet called me and updated me every step of the way ensuring me she was okay. They even flushed her drain tube for her abscess for me. They were so sweet and caring and they won us over with their great care and warm hearts! I take my dog here over her regular vet! Thank you arch vet for being amazing!! read more

My dog ate chocolate last week and I immediately looked up nearby emergency pet hospitals that have good ratings, so I chose Arch Vet and I see why this pet hospital has such great ratings/reviews. As soon as I got there and explained what was happening with my dog, they took me in and started getting to work right away. The whole visit probably took an hour maximum (most likely less) and everyone was so kind and accommodating to my dog and I even thought my dog is very sassy. Such a great and professional pet hospital! I was helped by Doctor Lakhpreet, Kendra, and Fiona. read more

I came here a while ago with my dog Coco Bear. We decided to come here instead of a previous vet because we had an uncomfortable instance. Dr. Soloman was so kind. He knew exactly what was wrong with Coco Bear right away and Coco Bear loved him as well. At our previous vet they told us we needed to pay $800 for a x ray to see exactly what was wrong. Dr. Soloman knew right away it was a luxating patella and said after some pain meds and a few days it would go away. He was exactly right. He warned us with his breed it might come back but it would not be a larger hinderance for him as long as we stay on top of maintaining his weight. I am so appreciative of the staff being kind and this vet being a good honest person. read more

I have been coming to this vet since 2021, when the pandemic was at is peak this was the only veterinary that had available appointments for our three dogs. I am so happy I did. I am very grateful for the veterinarians here Dr Solomon, Dr Mcbirney and Dr Saggi. Unfortunately, since then two of our beloved pets have passed away, Bella and Balto. More recently we have been seeing Dr Saggi for Lobito's kidney disease. Dr Saggi has been amazing walking us through lobitos treatment. I really enjoy that he takes the time to answer all my questions, generally I have a lot of anxiety and feeling as if I am being heard really helps during Lobitos check ups. Additionally, in our most recent check up our vet tech Rachel ( I hope I remembered the correct name) was amazing, again I am very big in feeling like I am being heard and getting all my questions answered and she did just that. Thank you so much Arch vet for being there for Bella and Balto and for continuing to be here for Lobito. I am so happy to have found this amazing staff. read more

Dr Solomon was great! Our bulldog had a procedure at our normal vet to remove a growth. Several days later he tore the stitches and we needed immediate assistance.

In fact, my 50+ lb puppy wouldn't walk after they put the cone on her, so they actually carried her out to me. I would definitely recommend this vet hospital to my friend and family.

Avoid at ALL COSTS. My pet was unresponsive and we rushed her here since it was the closest vet nearby, it was an obvious emergency. The receptionist told us "I think your dog is dying right now" yet the doctor just watched all of this unfold with no sense of urgency until the receptionist got her to go examine my pet. The doc later even admitted that she thought we were bringing in a dead pet. Who runs into a vet panicking at midnight with a dead pet? The doctor did nothing except have my pet in the other room while coming into ask me "what's going on with your dog?" I was thinking, "why is she here with me when my dog is unresponsive?!" It was also 12:10am when we got there and they kept telling us they close at 1am which means, once it hits time, there's really nothing they can do. We were forced to work on transferring her to another animal hospital 10 min away, the other hospital asked to speak to the Archvet doc to make sure they're prepared to handover. Ultimately, my dog miraculously "popped back up" (the doc's words) and the doc had no idea what happened to my dog. They did no treatment on her, tried to get a catheter into her but failed miserably and ripped my dog's skin open (glued back together at the next animal hospital), and even when the hospital we were transferring to asked for info from the Archvet doc, her exact words were "there's nothing I can add". Oh, and we were charged for this visit that completely was a waste of time and extremely traumatic. read more

At the end of 2021, I had been to a few Vets for my Frenchie that had stomach and intestinal issues. It was so expensive until Dr. Yanik at ARCHVET identified what the issue was. Not only did Dr Yanik identify the issue, she was so descriptive in why it happened. If it wasn't for her drive and curiosity for her profession, she might not have learned about the dangers that foods labeled with raw have. After moving my Frenchie off of raw food, my monthly... sometimes every other week, visits to the vet ended. Also.. I'd just like to say the rest of the staff is also kind and caring on other ways. Always making our pets feel comfortable until the doc is ready. read more
