Within 20 minutes I was called back and scheduled for 9AM! Both times I have come in I am escorted to a room with my pet within 2-3 minutes of arrival. No waiting around in the lobby like my old vet. Within 2-3 minutes a vet tech was there to start the process, today Blake got all the info logged and moved the process along quickly. Quick, but still with genuine care. Just a few minutes after that Dr. Wichman came in for the exam. She was great with my dog. All vets are expensive - full stop. That said, on both occasions where I have had an unexpected need to come in, they have provided options. They explain priorities and work with me to give my pet the best care I can afford. I really dreaded going to my old vet...hint sounds like bilvan borners. CH Pet Hospital is a breath of fresh air! I highly recommend their services and know that we have found a great new partner in our pets' healthcare.

New client experience : Two thumbs Down…read more I was interested in visiting this office because of the free first consultation & my annual responsibility, to pick up a year's worth of flea and tick medication (Bravecto or a prescription from chewy). I MENTIONED THIS CLEARLY TO EVERYONE I SPOKE TO. - Initial nurse was a total sweetheart, young and full of spirit - Doctor walked in jittery and sped up like she was trying to calm down from running - Speaking to me that way was super uncomfortable & condescending. When Doctor Susana Marshall DVM asked me about all the ways i was taking preventative measures for my pup, I knew that she had not reviewed any of the information that was gathered by her nurse receptionist on top of the eight years worth of health certifications and documents i brought in correct order since 2015. Up sold for 90% of my 15 minute visit on future vaccinations, future rehabilitation centers and given information I didn't ask about. My dog has been on heartworm preventative for eight years somehow I was charged $100 for a heartworm test that came back negative. After realizing i was charged $410 in the midst of everything happening so quickly I realized later, I left without the flea and tick medication. The only thing I came for. I called that day. No one answered. I called the next three days playing phone tag with this foul mouthed & disgusting attitude filled person named Joan. I told her I prefer to speak directly to the doctor not to waste time however Joan was confident she could help me. She couldn't infact help me & showed more interest in provoking a polite turbulence over the phone. Her energy is passive aggressive & instigative. She hung up on me without saying goodbye on our last chat which says a lot about a person's character, let alone a receptionist. I was calling to see if my second puppy was in danger from being around my first, since I wasn't told to keep them separated. But that one was infected? Overall, it was very cute to see his name on the welcome sign coming into the vet, but I would not recommend anyone supporting what's going on at this clinic. As I said on my last phone call with Joan, if I didn't hear from the doctor by the end of day, I would be opening a claim with my bank and that is exactly what I have done. They have 45 days to respond and I'm sure they will Not because they did the wrong thing and want to rectify - but because they want to avoid a negative chargeback score people! Businesses look really bad when they have chargebacks to banks so they will try to negotiate with you (the client) as if they didn't do anything wrong. They stand on very little morality and no humanitarian grounds. I will be filing for a full reimbursement. Ps. The eight years worth of medical records are completely out of order. Torn folder is destroyed and the receipts are Unstapled. It's going to take me a handful of hours to put everything back together.

I don't usually leave reviews like this, but future customers deserve honesty…read more My experience with this veterinary office was extremely disappointing from start to finish. Concerns I raised about my pet's care were not met with urgency, accountability, or meaningful communication. Instead of addressing issues directly, the response felt dismissive and focused more on conflict than resolution. I also had to repeatedly request basic information and records that should have been provided without delay. Even a simple request took hours to be acknowledged, which is unacceptable when you're dealing with a living animal and trying to make responsible medical decisions. What stood out most was the lack of professionalism when concerns were raised. Instead of working toward restoring trust or clarifying what happened, the relationship was essentially discarded. That is not what clients expect when they are trusting a clinic with their pet's health and wellbeing. Every pet owner should be able to expect transparency, communication, and care that feels collaborative. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I'm sharing this so other pet owners are fully aware and can make informed decisions about where they choose to take their animals for care. PLEASE DRIVE PAST THIS OFFICE I DON'T CARE HOW LONG THEY BEEN IN THE AREA!!!! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PET AT ALL , all THEY CARE ABOUT IS YOUR MONEY AND WAYS THEY CAN CHARGE YOU!! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PET !!!! And please I'm not even giving it a one star I had to give it a star just to leave this review but they get zero stars theres NOT A star in that office FROM VDMS TO ASSOCIATES !!!

We brought our cat in and she was diagnosed with kidney disease. A few years earlier, she had an…read moreinfection that could have been an early sign of kidney damage, but we weren't advised to monitor it or start her on a kidney-supportive diet. Looking back, it's hard not to wonder if earlier intervention could have slowed the progression and given her more time. But our doctor was great about keeping in touch and updating us every time we had to leave her for tests, which meant a lot during such a difficult time.

After moving to the Folsom area, I needed to establish care with a new veterinarian. I had…read morepreviously used VCA for several years in other locations and initially planned to continue with them. They have a great mobile app that makes communication and appointment management very convenient. However, that changed when I requested an estimate for a dental cleaning for our 6-year-old Yorkie. The procedure was long overdue, and I understood there was a possibility that some teeth might need to be extracted. The estimate I received was approximately $4,300 before any extractions, with additional charges of around $75 per tooth if extractions were needed. Having gone through similar procedures with other pets in the past, I was honestly shocked by the cost. I started researching alternatives and came across Crossroads Animal Hospital. Their reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and since they're close to my home, I decided to give them a call. They provided a very thorough estimate that included all the same important pre-op and post-op care, but the total cost was around $750, with extractions priced at about $25 per tooth. I transferred my dog's records and was able to get an appointment within just a couple of days. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring both on the phone and in person. Most importantly, our Yorkie's dental work turned out fantastic. His teeth looked amazing afterward, only one small tooth needed to be removed, and the bad dog breath that we'd been dealing with was completely gone. Finding a veterinarian you trust can be difficult, especially after moving to a new area. While VCA offers some convenient technology, I'll gladly choose Crossroads Animal Hospital for my pets' care going forward. They've earned my business through excellent service, quality care, and fair pricing.

Friendly neighborhood veterinarian with great staff and vets that truly care about your family…read morepets. The DVMs here are so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. They're of course going to be relatively conservative with testing and vaccinations (for close monitoring) but are reasonable and will advise you of the "core vaccinations" if you ask and want to discuss the nuances with them. Clean, tidy offices. Front desk staff is great, helpful with scheduling. Their phone number/call in is a bit of a pain (automated), but once you talk to a person, they are helpful and straightforward. Plenty of adjacent parking. Have been coming here for a few years now, would recommend to anyone looking for a good family vet.

Nobody is perfect but Mercy Pet Hospital Fair Oaks is pretty close. To be open and honest, the only…read moreissues I've ever had were when there was a visiting vet who was not part of the Fair Oaks team. Even then, permanent staff always followed up with me. The entire team at Fair Oaks cares deeply about all animals and their owners. The vets are knowledgeable and patient and take time to explain things and help owners work through difficult decisions. They have supported end of life care and release for two of my pets. Dr. Lennon worked with me to help me make the best choice for my 18 year old cat when I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing for her. My primary vets are Lennon, Kian, Linnet, and Woodson. All fantastic. Claudia at the front desk is a gem. Emily the vet tech is amazing. They all are. This is one of the most compassionate teams I've ever encountered. I am a terrible patient mom, when my pets are sick I become anxious aaaand often short and frustrated. I try not to, but it happens and the team still supports me and helps me get through it. In terms of pricing, I have found it to be very reasonable. They recently modified their dental and care plan options to make treatment more affordable and manageable. Estimates are always provided prior to treatment so you know what to plan for. Discounted pricing for cash payments, and they are speedy when providing information to insurance companies. When I can afford it I absolutely buy the team coffee for vet tech day (the WHOLE team) because they deserve it. I often hear people complain about the cost of vet care. I don't think folks understand the base costs of operating an animal hospital, from paying employees a livable wage (do you want the people caring for your animals having a chip on their shoulder because they can't afford rent?), insurance for the business, equipment and materials for lab, X-Ray, surgery, etc. etc., the cost of leasing the property and more than I'll list. It's incredibly expensive. Mercy Pet Hospital does its absolute best to keep costs down. I don't trust anyone else with my fur babies. If you have had a different experience with Mercy Pet Hospital Fair Oaks, I would give them a second chance.

Her empathy, calm presence, and human approach made both me and my cat feel completely at ease. You can tell she genuinely cares about both the animals and the people who love them. The doctor was wonderful as well, but Kim especially stood out for the way she connected and made the experience so comfortable. I'm also always grateful for how easy it is to call and get an appointment quickly, with reasonable pricing and consistently excellent care. I always leave feeling satisfied and supported.

I had been consistently disappointed by the VCM vet on Folsom Blvd two blocks from my house, so I…read moredecided to try Gold River Pet Hospital (GRPH). While I've only had two experiences with them so far, I have been impressed none the less. When you come to GRPH you get seen fairly quickly, and one thing I like is that they actually take time to check various things that VCM apparently can't be bothered to check. For example, breathing and heart rate. GRPH is more communicative about what they discover and what they propose. Also, they are quite honest when discussing dental issues and where you might need to go for more advanced dental analysis and care. The ONLY thing I don't like is that their exam rooms smell like old dirty mop water. I don't know if it's just the old building, or because they don't want to use any kind of bleach or sanitizer on the floors for animal safety. I just find that odor quite nauseating so I wish they could figure out how to get that one thing under control. If not for that, I would give 5 stars based on my recent visits.
