Come Monday she just didn't look right.. By Tuesday she just fall over i immediately called Las Tables they had me bring her in right away & I rushed to get her there and on the way she took her last breath Of course last tables took NO fault for this.... Nor was i offered reimbursement for anything, On top of it they had me pay for her cremation. They did offer me an autopsy no doubt I'd have to pay for that, and was an autopsy going to bring my baby back NOPE! NEW PUPPY OWNERS BEWARE PLZ!

    I'd like to start by saying that the actual veterinarians here are all amazing, and I've never had…read morean issue with a single doctor. I've been bringing my two dogs to this clinic for about four years now, and until recently, I've always had a positive experience. My dog was prescribed medication on Friday. By that night, she began having a severe reaction - constant vomiting and diarrhea every 30 minutes. She finally started feeling better by Monday morning. I called Main St first thing (at 7:30 a.m.) on Monday and explained the situation to the front desk. I told them that my dog was now stable but that I wanted to speak with the prescribing doctor about an alternative medication, which we had already discussed at my appointment. The front desk insisted that I had to make a new appointment. I explained that due to my wife's and my work schedules, we couldn't make the only appointment time offered. I asked if we could be seen the following day or if the doctor could give me a call back. The front desk was rude and told me they didn't have any appointments. Front desk told me I'd need to find another vet with availability. This really upset me, and I told them that if I had to go to another vet, I'd be transferring permanently. The front desk didn't seem to care. I ended up scheduling with another vet the next day and called back shortly after to request my dog's records. When I asked to have them transferred, the front desk hung up on me. This was absolutely unacceptable and a clear example of terrible customer service by the front desk on 11/3/25. I will not be returning due to how I was treated -- though I want to make it clear that the veterinarians themselves have always been excellent.

    My visit here was not at all what was experienced by others and needs to be shared. The pros of…read morethis place were that they were able to see my dog in such a short amount of time and had a free new patient visit, which is nothing compared to the cons. I came in and right off the bat- there were cats just hanging out and the receptionist didn't seem to mind them being overly curious of any other pet in there and claimed they were just "overly curious house cats" and made no effort to keep them away from patients and there was no friendliness towards my pet. That right there. NOT okay. Especially when the vet is stressful enough for pets- they had their own cats wandering around! The visit with Dr Wilkins was incredibly horrendous, as he came in I thanked him for being able to see us and he immediately started making rude comments to me while at the same time him and his son unprofessionally handled my dog (The family vibes outweighed professional ones as well with a lot of sighing to each other and seemed to not know what the other was doing). I wasn't sure what was going on with my dog and he acted like whatever I said was immediately wrong when I was there to get his advice and help and using my own background knowledge; he was very argumentative for no reason. I was shocked by how he treated me, and how he would not listen to me at all or be understanding. He ended up prescribing my dog a very general antibiotic for a 50% markup of the original price (~$40) and refused to work with chewy or anywhere else for cheaper options (elsewhere, $20) and also made a quote for a whole surgery because he claimed she needed it. He administered a fluorescein test horribly, getting it all over me in the process and made no efforts to clean up me or my dog. And when we both could clearly see that the fluorescein made it into both nostrils, he claimed it could only be seen in one and never waited the 5-15min it should take for a true test. He read the test wrong to me and told me because we could see it in one, that one was clogged. In reality, we could see it in both so there was no need for flushing out her tear ducts. He then retracted the prescription of the antibiotic when I was hesitant to immediately agree for surgery and wouldn't give a valid explanation why besides that he didn't like that I was hesitating to go forward with a $320 surgery to clear tear ducts when the whole visit was going so horribly and I was feeling unsafe. He backpedaled very unprofessionally, imposing that this issue was the same as humans when their tear ducts are clogged and claimed that any bacteria doesn't build up so she now didn't need antibiotics he originally prescribed. He told me "you just don't get it" multiple times instead of conversing in a professional manner that would've addressed the concerns I had. This scam-filled experience was awful and I hope everyone takes heed to such an experience at this facility. I went right back to the vet I have been going to for 13+ years and they took one test and calmly took a look at her, prescribed an antibiotic tear drops to be put in her eyes, and within one day the infection has gone down tremendously and her eyes are better ($20 eye drops mind you, through their office). Please do not go here due to their unprofessional nature and trying to scam you for something that you know is not needed (or if it is, they put their needs before the needs of their clients and their pets and markup the medication and/or pull it altogether if you aren't willing to blindly agree with them).

My 1 year old pup had his dew claws removed by a different DR than we usually go to. The experience was a "zero" out of 5. He became infected; I sent in videos of him limping, he was improperly treated. I had to bring him to the Emergency Vet ($$$) as they didn't wrap it (they thought they did, but didn't, couldn't recall if they did stitches/did/didn't?... just a misfire of care all round). The truth is, they botched Tucker's foot, he was in a lot of pain/infected, and they did not own it, feel sorry, or anything. I have switched to amazing new vets since. It's too bad as front office staff, office manager and Dr. S are great. The dew claw dr was nice too, but the result was painfully bad.

After a half an hour I checked on my appt and finally got to see the vet. My cat needed bloodwork done so I waited in the office to find out results. after an hour and 30 min I checked to see what they were and was then told they were not done in the office. There was a total lack of information given to me at the time of the exam. I am so sad to see the office run this way. I have been a customer for over 20 years and have noticed slowly the changes in staff to be not as caring.

EVERYONE was kind, soothing and eager to help. My 11 year old Chihuahua-terrier mix dislocated her hip, she was crying in pain, we were beside ourselves, unable to help her. My husband called around who was open on a holiday weekend, and we found Atascadero Pet Hospital. They immediately invited us in to their beautiful facility and put my baby under anesthesia and put her hip back in place. We took her home in a hip sling, and she did wonderfully. We only had to give her the pain medicine that they sent us home with the first and second night. Today was our follow up and the hip sling is off and now we all have to do is pray that keeping her contained for a few more weeks with careful handling, her hip will heal and not need further surgery. I just can't express how much gratitude I have to these kind people and how wonderfully they treated us. I especially want a shout out to a young man, I think his name is Juan, young man, very handsome and just so in tuned to everything we needed to hear and how to take care of her once we got her home. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and assured us that we could call anytime of day or night if something happened that wasn't right or if my pet was in pain. I can't tell you how much this meant to us. Monkey is healing. We are so relieved to know that there are experts out there that will help us and be kind to our animals. Of course, the surgeon and the vets were amazing as well, so thank you to them and thank you for the time that they also spent with us explaining our options. And I just want to add, that those inaccurate reviews of this wonderful facility are likely hyperbole. Being a healthcare provider myself, for humans, I know, you can't make everybody happy. And you can't make miracles happen every time. There are many variables to consider when making a recommendation about options for health, and quality of life. It may not be an easy fix, and it may not be the best for the pet. And sometimes that's hard to hear. And, quite frankly, healthcare even if it's for a pet, is quite expensive. It's part of being a pet owner (or human). I was actually quite amazed that my dog had full-on anesthesia and her hip put back in place and a sling placed for such a reasonable amount. It was even less than they had quoted us and, they didn't ask to do a bunch of bloodwork and everything else ahead of time. They just took her to surgery and put her hip back in. Amazing! I stand behind what I said, these people are very mindful and compassionate in the work they do.

Most importantly, they don't pressure or try to upsell you like I've noticed happens at other veterinary practices. My dog is a nightmare french bulldog. It took four of them to hold him still for his allergy shot. I was so embarrassed but they were kind and patient with him and reassured me that he wasn't over the top, even though he was lol. The doctors went above and beyond to solve an underlying issue with his recurring diarrhea and it didn't break the bank. Im so glad I discovered them. I highly recommend these kind, caring doctors and their amazing staff.

Since he passed (RIP friend) I brought my Great Dane in to be seen and have some vaccines he was due for. I was told an annual exam was due and necessary before any shots could be administered. He also had a sore on his hind leg that concerned me which is mainly the reason I made the appointment initially. After my poor geriatric dog was there all day I received a curt, and rude voicemail demanding I return his call from someone name Dr. Konrad. When we spoke he talked to me as if I was a child. Said the dog needed antibiotics and that the sore most likely needed to be opened and drained. When I asked if that meant putting the "under" and giving IV Antibiotics or just oral medications ... he gave me the definition of "oral". what a jackass. When I finally picked up the dog, not only was an annual exam NOT completed... neither were any vaccines. Any questions I asked the Dr at pickup were answered with "I don't know" he couldn't tell me what the sore was: an abscess, or something deeper and offered no course of action other than "call us in 2 weeks" THATS WHY I BROUGHT HIM IN!!! I'll never return after being spoken to this way and seeing my dog handled the way he was. They lost a loyal customer with many animals.

She was the only pet my girls ever had and also the only pet my wife ever had, so she was extremely special to all of us. We asked her vet what we should do after she passed at home and they said that they could help us take care of the cremation, if that's what we wanted to do. They asked a few questions in terms of private cremation versus communal and we chose the private. We took Allie over to the vet office and handed her over without really knowing what to expect. A couple of weeks later we received a call that her remains were back and that we could pick them up. I was just so pleasantly surprised and how much care was taken and simply the packaging and presentation to us as a surviving family. The beautiful little cedar box with its little gold lock was perfect. The card to our family and Tlthe cremation certificate gave us peace of mind that Allie was treated with care and respect. I went online to see if I could find out more about Oak Hills Memorial Pet Cremation and was so pleased to see the reviews from others who had had similarly positive experiences. If you find yourself in the same situation my family did 3 weeks ago, be sure to ask your vet about cremation options and put Oak Hills at the top of that list of service providers. You'll be glad you did.
