We are new to Novato and suddenly needed a vet for a foxtail scare. Dr. Turna and his staff fit us in without any hassles and helped our dog, Winnie, right away. We got the meds she needed and some good advice about keeping her calm and safe. Everyone on the staff is friendly, and the office is very clean and efficiently run. Highly recommended! read more

Center Veterinary Clinic has been amazing. The staff is friendly, the doctor was extremely supportive, and they took the time to walk me through Pablo's exam. They even followed up with an email afterward, which I really appreciated. I was recommended by a few folks, and now I see why. Great vet -- Pablo will be coming here long‑term. read more

Saturday, July 18, after a brief exam of my 15 yr old cat who's in renal failure and hasn't been pooping much, I asked the lead veterinarian there, Rajdeep Turna, to give her another H20 injection under the skin of her neck to hydrate her. A very kind visiting vet, Dr. Sandy Lester had done this on Wednesday, July 15. My cat was growling at Dr. Turna and this clown was actually afraid of an 11.2 lb cat and refused to give her the injection bc "she might attack me". Dear dimwit, have you ever heard of getting a tech to hold her whilst you give the injection? Or rolling her in a towel like a burrito (or a purrito) to give the injection? There are a dozen things this clown could have done yet he chose NOT to treat a sick cat. Is my cat a difficult? Yes. She's 15 and in renal failure and in pain, which I give her Gabapentin for. Is my cat a drama queen? Absolutely. Is she bitey? Absolutely bc her previous owners declawed her front paws which renders a cat defenseless so their mouths become their only defense. There are ways to mitigate this if you're a vet or even a vet tech with half a brain. No vet she has ever been to (and there's been a bunch bc we've moved a lot in the last 8 years) has EVER refused to treat her or been fearful. This man shouldn't be a vet if he's that fearful of an 11 lb cat. For heaven's sake, find another profession. Spare yourself and don't go to this vet. I went there bc they do walk ins. Guess what, after that idiocy, I walked out and they will never see me again. He shouldn't be a vet. Maybe he should stock shelves at Safeway or be a cashier where he's not going to encounter a sick, unhappy cat. You sir, Rajdeep Turna, should NOT be a vet and should seek a different profession. You were useless. Worst of all, I had to pay $111 for two cans of renal support cat food and an exam that lasted 5 minutes at most. Absolute bs. If I could give no stars, I would. read more

The words that every dog owner dreads "dental cleaning" I know those words mean I will have to pay a lot of money and my little doggie will need to be sedated to have a cleaning and possible extractions to maintain optimal health. I'm your friend so I'll also share a secret: it makes me feel guilty that I failed to clean my doggies teeth well. That is how I feel whether it's true or not. I feel bad. That is my mindset. Here is how Center Veterinary Clinic handled it - without knowing my mindset: Dr Turna explained to me what he sees and why it's problematic. He then used a visual image to reference what areas of my dogs mouth are the issue and how cleaning and or extractions will alleviate discomfort and infection. Dr Turna then asked if I had any questions then patiently listened to my concerns and questions. I am so thankful for this kindness. "Our dogs can't speak to us with words so they do xyz" Dr Turna is right and that made me feel confident in our next steps. The staff (I don't know their proper titles) presented the treatment plan, answered more questions, scheduled the appointments, and took the time to make all of us feel like we are a team advocating for little Max's care. When I first went to Dr Turna it was because my previous vet kept giving antibiotics for an abscess that eventually burst through Max's face. The extraction went so well, we switched to Center Veterinary Clinic. I want a doctor and veterinary team who sees Max for his healthy visits and is also there for his more serious visits that require sedation, post surgical medication, and follow-up care. I trust Dr Turna and his staff with my little guy. He is my entire world this little rescue doggie. Center Veterinary Clinic does their part to make sure he's a healthy and happy boy. I like knowing I can trust everyone to advocate for his care on my behalf during those rare surgical appointments. I love this clinic for all those reasons AND I never have to feel embarrassed to ask for a discount in these tough economic times. They just offer it to our family on the treatment plan which I appreciate. Trust is hard to earn and even harder to maintain. I trust Dr Turna. Five stars for perfection and my highest recommendation. read more

CVC is the best; I brought two of my dogs in for emergency appts and now I call them for everything. Their vets are thorough; professional and kind- and their staff is top notch. I called today and hung up before they answered and Riley called me back! I'm more impressed w CVC each time I go... call. Highly recommend for both emergency and reg appts. read more

I woke up to my dog vomiting all over the house because it was reddish color, I threw on some clothes and called what I thought was Tru Vet Emergency in Petaluma. Well I got Center Veterinary and they were able to see my dog, diagnosed him and provided treatment quickly. I was in and out of there. He had eaten a liquid amber tree pod and it was irritating his digestive system. Since I live in Novato I think I will be going here in the future. read more

Center Veterinary Clinic - Waiting for the Dr. - Veterinarians Near Me - Novato, California

We were very happy that Center Vet Clinic was able to get us in on a Saturday as a new patient. Our little dog was hacking in a way that sounded bad, and she seemed sick. We called and got her in right away, and it already seems to be improving after only a few days. We received a call from them to follow up, which was greatly appreciated. The staff is very nice and helpful, and obviously animal lovers. Pinky will have her follow-up appointment soon. We're hoping for a clean bill of health! read more

This is how the visit started: I called to find out what the cost would be for a blood kidney test & was told no prices over the phone. So sick/tired of these vets getting away with ripping off people in their communities with deceptive business practices, lies, bait/switch tactics, we need laws or these vets need to be sued. I had to pay a non refundable portion of the visit over the phone & the rest after the exam. Dr. Rajdeep tried to finesse & control the conversation by telling me I needed to purchase tick and flea medication TODAY and that should not leave without it as my family and pets will be at risk. My dad was with me that day, so he can attest to everything that I am saying is factual. Dr. Rajeep was twenty minutes late for our appointment. He interrupted me every time I tried to speak. I could clearly understand by the look in his eyes & the vibes I was getting that I was about to be victimized by yet another dishonest veterinarian. I stated multiple times to the gal at the desk I was only here for one thing, a blood test to see if my cat had any kidney problems bc she was marking my house even after her spay, she was otherwise a very normal & healthy three year old cat. The receptionist made me fill out forms two times, then questioned me about my answers as to who what where when my cat was seen by a vet, on tick meds or special food, vaccines etc. No was the answer & I was only here for a simple kidney test. That was not enough. She came back again asking me more questions about my cats previous vet visits. Extremely invasive, not your business, I am here for a blood test for urinary tract infection only. Dr. Rajeep comes in very concerned with his soft spoken controlling voice telling me for my safety and my cats safety that she needs to go home with flea protection today, because ticks will live in your home and sofa and you will have many ticks!. Low and BEHOLD A GIANT BLACK TICK IS UNDER HIS HAND RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES THIS TICK APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE on top of her coat, right after he moved his hand away, there it was. I was STUNNED. I said where did that come from? He said she has ticks. Not possible.I told him I would buy the medication at Costco or somewhere cheaper. So while he's still examining my cat, he tells me he cannot feel her bladder, that I would have to leave her behind for a few hours so he could get a sample. I said no way is that happening. I said tell me the price of the kidney test that's all I want. He said I had to have more than a blood test bc the blood test was just a baseline. I asked again how much the blood test would be and he hesitates because he is now realizing that I am not to be played with, that minus the tick meds the price would be just shy of $600, not including the exam fee of 95.00 which was not the amount I was quoted over the phone. I jumped up and said nope, we are outta here. Then I was almost charged for the full visit AND the deposit for the visit. This veterinarian is just another snake oil salesman. A simple kidney test should not anywhere from 35-80-120 tops. This is the sleaziest experience with a vet thus far. Veterinarian business is so disgusting nobody will be able to afford to have pets, they will become a luxury for the wealthy only, the rest will die in shelters as nobody will be able to afford to help their animals without going into financial debt. This is what happens when corporations/insurance companies take over. Here to fleece the middle class. read more

To be honest, I didn't like it. I felt they were more focus to sell their products rather than my dog's health. I brought my dog for a well check then the vet told me that she got wax in the left ear and she was supposed to get a professional nail trim. I paid $154 for the cleaning, nail trim and ear drops. I think it was expensive. Also, they asked me to come back in 1/2 hour and my dog was not ready. I waited a bit more than one hour because I got up to check if my dog was ready. They didn't even apologize or be more friendly. Overall I didn't have a good experience there. read more

I brought my dog in on the same day as I called as she was not well. I was very impressed by the concern of the staff and the doctor's attention to our needs. After some bloodwork and an injection for advanced osteoarthritis, I went home and only 26 hours later, heard from the Vet directly with a diagnosis and plan of care. Really appreciate this clinic. read more

Outstanding front office, veterinary assistant and Dr. Turna! Thank you so much for the excellent care for our kitty Coco!

We don't hesitate to give CVC 5 stars and 2 thumbs WAY up. We love nothing more than our pets, past and present, and their care is of the utmost importance to us. With numerous health issues carefully treated and resolved we have come to trust Dr. Turna and his staff implicitly. They always go over-and-above while still managing to be both professional and kind. Based on our experience and recommendation our neighbors now have their dog under their care and are very happy they made the change. read more

My Toy Aussie had an urgent need and I contacted Center Veterinary Clinic. I needed a same day appointment and saw on their online Ad that they offered emergency services so I called them. They got me in within 1 hour. They were awesome! They truly care and were very professional. It took 2 visits to get done what needed to be done as we needed to have bloodwork etc before my baby had to go under general anesthesia. They explained everything and I just felt very well taken care of. I highly recommend them and will be taking my boy here from now on. Thank you so much! read more

CVC delivers the best medical/wellness service I've ever experienced, pet or human. They are proactive, caring and incredibly responsive. Dr. Turna has been seeing our one-eyed Aus Shepherd since we got her from a shelter, and is an incredibly straightforward and caring individual. The office team is also really on-it and great at following up with us, not to mention really friendly. Our young dog is our first real family pet and the Center has really increased our knowledge around pet safety and wellness. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about this place! I have been searching the ends of the earth for another vet for months for my pup who is now in her senior years. Today I was desperate to find someone who could help her with her skin allergies and eventually her teeth. After searching the web I found Center Veterinary Clinic and they had glowing reviews so I decided to give them a try and an added bonus I could get her in same day and it was Saturday! All the staff were so nice and dealt with my emotions in such a respectful and caring way. My dogs are my family so I don't trust just anyone with their care. Dr. Turna was efficient and explained clearly what was needed and showed me all the costs before doing anything on my dog. Although still expensive as vet services generally are it was necessary and nothing extra and I agreed to treatment. My dog was treated with respect and gentle care. The nurses and front desk staff were so kind and knowledgeable about the medications I received to take home. I walked in a desperate and very stressed dog mom and left able to breathe and know that my dog will be on the mend from a skin infection and ear infection that was worse than I even realized. This place is wonderful and while I would love to keep it a secret to myself so they don't get too busy I will be generous and express how great they are and it's way worth sending your animals here. Thank you to all the staff for taking such good care of my sweet pup and me! We have found our new primary vet! read more

Center VC is one of those clinics that really makes you feel like they care about you and your pet. They were amazing in getting one of our pets in for an emergency visit and went so above and beyond that we stopped seeing our old vet and now see CVC for everything. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Those front desk people at the center vet are so rude. It's all about the money seriously. Dog teeth cleaning is a racket. $1500 for a 12lb dog. Stay away from this vet. read more

The only reason I would consider NOT giving Center a glowing review is a selfish one. I don't want them get so busy that it's difficult get into their schedule. However, I must be honest, they really are amazing with how they deliver the best service I have ever received. From the first phone call, they answer the phone! The entire staff is fantastic. I travel 3 hours so that my dog receives the best care anywhere, truly. It's well worth the drive. Thanks to everyone at Center Veterinary. Me and my dog appreciate you. read more
