    Everything went smoothly at the visit. We so appreciate the staff and the Dr. for such great care.

    Both of my dogs come here and everyone is patient and kind. Most importantly, I've never had a doctor be dishonest with services and they've always worked in my budget! I've even brought stray/sick kittens here and they've treated them to the best of their abilities. And it's relatively easy to get an appointment which helps as a stressed dog mom :)

    Dr. Chahal saved our dog's life. Our Pittie-Boxer mix is 12 years old and hadn't been neutered. We were surprised to learn he had only one testicle. When Dr. Chahal examined him and ordered an X-ray, we discovered the other testicle had not dropped and was inside him--the size of a golf ball--and was causing other health issues. If we hadn't removed it at that moment, there could have been more serious problems. We were amazed that, despite years of visits to other vets, no one had detected this earlier. Thank you, Dr. Chahal--our dog is still with us at 15 years old!

    Amazing care, Dr Yang is super professional and knowledgeable. Riju is a wonderful vet assistant. I have a scaredy cat and they're great at keeping him calm.

    Silicon Valley hosts some of the top professionals in the world. Dr. Carolyn Yang is one of them. My cat had a complicated abscess repair. He's a service animal, and I almost lost him. I can't imagine living in this world without my best friend. This clinic contracts with agencies that help the less fortunate. Dr. Yang can juggle several emergencies at once without missing a beat. She is grace under pressure. Fluffy & I will live to see another day, together. I couldn't be more happy or grateful. Thank you, Dr. Yang!

    Our 3 fur babies have becoming here for years. 2 of our pups have had all major life saving surgeries/procedures here and this is our only go to clinic for all our emergency situations and we haven't but most likely will transition from our other vet for preventative care to Ark also. This is an all in one clinic and they always have an appointment available within reasonable time and I can't even tell you, how much I appreciate them staying open till 9pm. It always makes for people like me that work till 6pm and Saturdays to get an appointment without waiting weeks out. Shout out to my buddy, Christian, all the rest of the staff and Dr. Chalat! I adore that they put my fur pups health and well being with all their appointments. We have always had positive and wonderful experiences with Ark. Gizmo, Bella, and Tiko thank you guys and appreciate all of Ark staff too!

She had stopped eating and drinking for weeks and had recently begun having seizures. As difficult as it was, we knew it was time to let her rest peacefully. Before bringing her in, I called MedVet because this was my first time going through the euthanasia process. The woman I spoke with was incredibly informative and compassionate. She patiently answered my questions and even provided a price range so we knew what to expect. When we arrived at the emergency hospital emotional, they assisted is right away. The registration process was quick and easy, and Sophie was taken back for an evaluation within just a few minutes. Soon after, we were escorted to a comfort room where one of the veterinary assistants gently explained that the doctor agreed it was time to let Sophie go. Once we made the decision, the staff brought Sophie back to us and gave our family all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. They even gave us a button to press whenever we were ready for the doctor to come in, which allowed us to move at our own pace without feeling rushed. When we were ready, the doctor came in and was incredibly kind and compassionate. He carefully explained each step of the process before administering the injections. Although it happened quickly, it brought us comfort knowing Sophie was no longer in pain or suffering. Afterward, the doctor respectfully took Sophie and explained the next steps. Every staff member we encountered treated us with kindness, compassion, and genuine empathy during one of the hardest moments our family has ever experienced. About a week after Sophie's passing, we received a handwritten condolence card in the mail. It was such a thoughtful gesture that meant so much to our family. I cannot thank the team at MedVet enough for the care they showed Sophie and our family. I highly recommend MedVet to anyone facing such a difficult situation. They made an incredibly painful experience as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be.

My primary vet submitted an online form for her outpatient admission. Then, it goes to a dead end. I had been chasing these people over a week to setup an appointment and all I get is "we cannot access the emails with the radiology department" and they will give a call and this call never came. When I mentioned that no one is calling me back, the audacity of these people to say then bring your pup to the ER - like why? My pup is not in an emergency, why these shady people are pushing patients to come to ER - so you can make some extra bucks. Please go get a life and do a decent job in what you care to do. I will never recommend this place. Take you pup to a place where they give a damn.

A few months ago, Lola suffered a ruptured disc in her neck and needed emergency surgery. It was an extremely stressful and frightening experience for us, especially after watching her suffer from excruciating pain for weeks. Dr. Vitale immediately brought Lola in for an MRI to verify what she correctly suspected was the problem and performed Lola's surgery right away. We truly could not have hoped for a better outcome. The surgery was a huge success, and today Lola appears to be completely pain free and is back to her happy, normal self. Seeing her comfortable and enjoying life again means more to us than we can possibly express. We cannot thank Dr. Vitale enough for what she did for Lola and for our family. She gave our dog her quality of life back, and we will always be incredibly grateful. Dr. Vitale is truly our hero, and we feel so fortunate that Lola was in her care. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I paid $195 for a consultation and was told my dog was cleared to start physical therapy. That same day, I was told someone would call with pricing and scheduling -- no call ever came. I had to keep calling myself, and every time it was the same story: long holds, no pickup, "we'll call you back." I eventually got a person and scheduled an appointment. She was good about explaining pricing and scheduling. She got my dog on the schedule. Then I got a voicemail saying it was canceled due to staff illness, telling me to call right back for a new date. I called back immediately -- at least four times. Same runaround: long holds, no answers, "leave your number, you won't lose your place in queue." When I finally got a callback, the receptionist told me all the nurses had already left for the day (3:30pm on a Thursday) and someone would "try" to call me the next morning. Just wow. Save yourself the headache -- there are plenty of other vet options in the Bay Area. I won't be going back, and I'll be telling other pet parents to avoid Sage Vet in Campbell

I made three ER visits and each was met with compassion, patience, professionalism, and genuine concern for my dog's comfort and well-being. The staff took the time to explain what was happening, answer my questions, and care for my dog as best as possible. Sadly, despite everyone's best efforts, I ultimately had to say goodbye to my beloved boy. Dr. Jorgensen helped me make that heartbreaking decision with kindness and dignity, and they made sure my dog's final moments were peaceful and humane. Their compassion during that moment is something I will never forget. Losing a pet is devastating, but knowing that my dog was surrounded by people who truly cared made an unbearable experience a little better. I am deeply thankful for every veterinarian, technician, and staff member who cared for him throughout that week. If you ever find yourself needing emergency veterinary care, I highly recommend this hospital. They provided excellent medical care, and also compassion, empathy, and humanity when I needed it most. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of my boy and for helping him leave this world peacefully and with dignity. I will always be grateful.

I called to ask for advice on how to handle the situation, which they gladly gave. The person at the front desk even called me back after she talked to a technician and had additional information for me! We ended up taking him in, as we just couldn't get things under control on our own and he was clearly in a lot of pain. A technician took him back to assess him quickly, got him cleaned up, located the source of the bleeding and cleaned his wounds. And of course he was an angel for her... (why can't he be like that for me?!?!). Once again, everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and efficient. They never minimize what you're dealing with... if they thought it was silly reason to be there, they sure didn't make it seem that way to me. They took our concerns seriously and were very supportive, and took excellent care of our cat. The other thing I really appreciate with the team here is that they aren't trying to add on or charge for unnecessary services. Costs are explained clearly and feel very fair. I haven't once felt like they were taking advantage of the emergency nature of a situation. Again... really good people here.

From the moment Dr. Ang first met with us, he exhibited wonderful listening skills. He valued my comments and made me feel heard. It was a dangerous urgent situation, and he gave it the prompt attention it deserved. My cat had to be hospitalized, and I could not have had a better vet to help me through those difficult days. Dr. Ang was so unbelievably kind and helpful to both myself and my cat. I've had pets my entire life, and I've never been more impressed by a vet. I was very worried about my cat, and Dr. Ang kept me updated and generously answered every question I had. It has taken months for me to write this review, because my cat had to be put down about 10 days after this emergency situation. However, thanks to Dr. Ang's help and advice, my cat got to spend over a week with me at home, before he developed another medical issue that again threatened his life. My cat was put down at almost 18 years of age, with the assistance of Dr. Ang. He made a terrible situation much better than it otherwise would have been for us. This my most difficult time with a pet, and I'm so blessed to have had Dr. Ang through the journey. I can't possibly thank him enough for how much he went above and beyond for my cat, and for me. Dr. Ang is a wonderful person, and anyone is lucky to have him care for their pet. I am also happy with MedVet Mountain View. I've brought my cat there many times, and the fact that I drove from Santa Clara to Mountain View many times specifically to go to this office is evidence of how comfortable I felt bringing my pet there--rather than vets' offices much closer to me geographically. I am happy with the staff and experiences overall at MedVet Mountain View. But, Dr. Zachary Ang is a vet that restored my faith in humanity, and he deserves particular credit for going far beyond the call of duty for myself and my beloved cat.

Our dog Bailey is a 6 year old chocolate Lab who developed a deep fluid filled mass in her neck. Our primary vet initially attempted to remove it, but once he got in there, he felt it was too close to extremely important structures such as her jugular, carotid artery, nerves, etc and chose not to continue. Hearing that was terrifying and it eventually led us to Dr. Bugman. From our very first appointment, Dr. Bugman made us feel like Bailey was genuinely in good hands. I was incredibly nervous and had a million questions. She was patient, kind, honest and empathetic through all of it. Communication was always easy, and I never felt rushed or made to feel like I was asking too much. She also understood the financial reality of specialty care and was willing to talk through different options with us without ever making me feel like we were compromising Bailey's care. On surgery day, I was an emotional wreck, but Bailey did beautifully and Dr. Bugman was able to successfully remove the mass. After weeks of fear and uncertainty, hearing that my girl was awake, out of surgery, and the icky mass was out was the biggest relief imaginable. What I will remember just as much as Dr. Bugman's surgical skill is how cared for we felt throughout this entire experience. When your dog is your family, handing them over for a major surgery is incredibly hard. I never once questioned whether Bailey was being watched over, loved on and treated like she mattered. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Bugman and everyone who cared for our girl. There really aren't enough words to say thank you for getting Bailey safely through this and back to us. If you are scared and searching through reviews trying to decide who you can trust with your baby, I hope this review gives you some of the reassurance I desperately needed when we were in that position.

    I hate to write a bad review, but I also feel compelled to warn others so that they don't have the…read moresame experience that we did. I will not share the entire saga, but here is what I will say: - I do not know if SAGE's clinical choices were sound, as I am not a vet. What I do know is that they were not successful, and resulted in the death of a relatively young (6 year old) cat who did not appear to be *that sick*. - The care that was provided - which took place over the course of less than 12 hours and did not involve any surgery resulted in bills exceeding $7,000. - After the traumatic experience, SAGE was focused purely on payment, and not at all on condolences. They immediately charged the credit card on file and sent multiple emails with invoices (which were unclear and in some cases contradictory). When I arrived to pick up the cat's ashes the person at the front desk looked at the computer and said "you have an outstanding balance of $400; would you like to pay that now?" She did not say "I'm sorry for your loss" and instead just straight to asking for more money. When I pushed back she said "that's our protocol." Yes, clearly it is. - They made many administrative errors throughout the process, which I will not go into because for those they have apologized, but there were so many that I felt embarassed for them. But I've now contacted them multiple times with one simple request: please send me one invoice that is complete and accurate. My requests have gone unanswered. Perhaps because they have already received payment, they are no longer concerned with me, but it's actually pretty outlandish. They charged over $7,000 (I think - it's actually hard to tell because again, the charges and invoices are not clear or complete) and can't be bothered with giving me a clear answer. I am truly not sure how any business can get away with operating this way, but apparently SAGE can. I'm sure they do some good work. I'm sure there are many good people who work there and care a lot about animals. But based on our experience, it feels like incompetent adminstration at best and a scam at worst. I know that when your pet needs emergency care you may not have a lot of options, but if you do, I suggest that you try to go elsewhere.
