We've been going for years so my review is overdue! Dr Urbina and her team always take such good care of our pups! I can usually get a same day or next day appointment. During this most recent visit, we picked up a probiotic for our Aussie Shepard pup, got allergy shots for our mini-schnauzers and met with Dr Urbina to check our schnauzers tail that's been bothering her. Dr Urbina is well trained, knowledgeable and doesn't pressure us with options like other vets. Their vet techs (we love Breanna) are so caring and helpful too. Other procedures we've had done for our pups: dental cleanings, x-rays, biopsies, and when our schnauzer had pancreatitis (so scary!), we came here to have daytime water drip when we finished at the Emergency vet overnight. Parking- it's street parking but we always find a spot. It's nice to have all the grass because when our pups are nervous, we'll take them around the grassy area before the appointment. Overall, We love this place and will continue supporting small local businesses! read more

I had a great experience here! One thing I really appreciate is that they actually answer the phone when you call. I called three other veterinary offices and only got voicemail and had to leave messages waiting for a call back. Their prices for vaccinations are also very reasonable--actually cheaper than many other vets and only slightly more than standing in line for an hour at the low-cost clinic on Bonita Road. It's so nice to find a veterinary office that is affordable, responsive, and easy to work with. I definitely recommend them! read more

Took our new pup here for his first visit. Our little Milo was a little nervous but everyone from the reception to the doctors were so friendly and kind so it made our first visit so enjoyable. We're so happy we started taking our pup here! Highly recommend! read more

I used to be a client with another local vet that was awarded with high accolades. I switched over to find a better clinic and was welcomed with so much warmth and attentiveness by Dr. Urbina and staff. After visiting several vets, I'm kind of used to being seen quickly and ushered out. But I was taken aback by such a small gesture she did (and she probably didn't even know how much this meant to me!)- she sat on the floor just to *be* with my dog and address my concerns. You can truly feel the passion and care with her and not just treating your pet as another client/money bags. 1000/10 highly recommend!! read more

The staff was absolutely amazing. Took my two dogs here to establish care to have a vet closer to home. My smaller dog is very vocal and they did not mind him one bit. Also love that we were able to get lab results in the same day read more

Very kind and professional staff from the front desk nurse and Vet. I had to get a procedure done with my 15 year old bully I have never been thru before and they walked me thru every stage of the process. I would highly recommend this business. Ty Escaya Vet team read more

Everyone is so personable and welcoming! Also, Dr. Urbina listens to your concerns and is very gentle when examining your pet. My dog has run into some trouble on his own and they've always been so helpful in examining him and making sure he heals safely and well. Worth checking out, especially for locals in CV! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Escaya Veterinary Clinic with Dr. Naomi Urbina. After a horrible and exhausting night at an emergency vet where we waited over 3 hours just to be told we might have to wait another 4-5 hours or leave our dog overnight, I called Escaya the next morning--and they were able to fit us in for a same-day appointment. From the moment we arrived, the difference was night and day. We were seen exactly at our appointment time, and the entire visit took less than 45 minutes. Dr. Urbina was kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answer our questions patiently, and made sure we felt comfortable and informed. You can tell that she and the staff genuinely care about your pet's well-being, not just the bottom line. Our dog was treated with compassion and respect, and we were too. There were no unnecessary charges, no confusion, and no pressure--just straightforward, honest care. The total cost was significantly less than the emergency vet quoted us, and the experience was 100x better. If you want a vet who is thorough, transparent, and truly cares, I highly recommend Dr. Naomi Urbina and the team at Escaya Vet. I left feeling relieved, cared for, and grateful--and most importantly, my dog is already feeling better. This is exactly the kind of veterinary care every pet parent hopes to find!!! read more

Escaya Veterinarians - Compassionate, Honest, and Efficient -- Thank You Dr. Naomi Urbina & Escaya Vet Team!! - Veterinarians Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I usually take my cat to a different vet for about 3 years now. My cat had what seems to be UTI or crystals in her urine. My regular vet was booked, so I tried a different vet, Escaya. It was refreshing because I prefer a smaller clinic over a large busy one. I really like vet tech Brianna's personality. She is warm and friendly, unlike my regular vets lobby personnel and assistants,which are more robotic and not engaging. I am switching to Escaya for both of my Sphynx needs. The covering veterinary (Dr. Decker) made me feel more comfortable with my cats medical issue. Not all veterinarians understand they treat both the pet and owner. read more

I brought my dog in for a routine allergy injection Usually takes 5 min tops but this particular time they had her in the back for over 20 min. I asked reception if there was something wrong and if my dog was okay because I was worried. She said they're just waiting for the vet. When they came out with my dog, mind you she weighs 11 pounds, she had a bloody paw The vet explained that the dog ripped her own nail off, that she did it to herself which doesn't make any sense, my dog has been getting this injection for the past 5 years and is great for the administrating process. The vet offered no other explanation. She then tried selling me antibiotics. Never offered to perhaps patch her up or even clean the bloody paw. Offered no resolutions, or at home care either. I declined her oral antibiotics and the vet said if I didn't purchase those antibiotics they would not help me in any way with her paw care The vet and staff never even offered an apology My dog came in for an injection and left without a whole nail, and in immense pain. Needles to say I will never come back again, I will never recommend this place and I hope if you're reading this review, know that I loved coming here for the better part of a year until this incident. I had better luck with Amazon Veterinary off of 3rd Avenue read more

We love the location Escaya is in, as well as the transparency with their services. Having tried numerous of vets all across Southern California, this was one of the most stress free appointments we've had so far for our dogs. read more

I started bringing my cat and dog here over a year ago and continue to be so grateful and thrilled about my experiences at Escaya! The best care I've had for my animals in a long time. Dr. Urbina is so knowledgeable explains everything very thoroughly and in an easy to understand way, and gives clear recommendations for care. Just like other reviewers have said, there isn't an upsell mentality either. I definitely recommend bringing your pets here. read more

So glad to have a vet so close to home. Dr Urbina as well as the rest of the team, Naomi and Javier are amazing. First time we came here our little boy was having some nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Immediately she was able to diagnose him and sent us on our way with medications which were effective in treating his problem. He was back to himself the next day! Dr Urbina is very caring and compassionate. She doesn't try to upsell you and generally cares about your animals well being. She explains things clearly and is very patient. If you want a vet who you could trust definitely come here! read more

Was able to get an appointment same day and they took really good care of my dog. Prices are reasonable and got exactly what was needed without an oversell like so many vet practices tend to do. Really happy to find this office and my dogs now have a new vet in Chula Vista! read more

I highly recommended Escaya Veterinarians. They offer excellent services and very accommodating. The staff is very friendly and both of the veterinarians that have treated my dog are excellent. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Urbina and Dr. Salcido. read more

New vet for my kitties! Staff was super friendly and mindful I had two kitties so they brought me straight into a room away from any dogs. Clean exam rooms with minimal pet which is nice, animals can get scared when they see pictures of other cats or dogs. Prices are great and definitely will be back. Only thing they could add is treat jars and some calming scent diffusers but definitely not necessary. Highly recommend and will be back. read more

Wow! I can't say enough about this Veterinarian. Dr. Urbina is so smart, personable and understanding. She loves animals deeply and it shows. My mini goldendoodle has had chronic ear infections. Finding this local vet has been a godsend. Dr Urbina is so thorough in her plan for care. I know my pup is getting the best treatment, in the most prestige, state of the art facility. Thanks Escaya Vet! read more

The entire team at Escaya is amazing. I know my dog is in good hands when visiting Escaya. They are honest, offer reasonable prices, and truly care about their clients. read more

I love Escaya Veterinarians! The vets are so knowledgeable, patient, kind and professional. My fur-babies are very special to me; they're family. It was important for me to find the right veterinarians to care for my dogs. Escaya Veterinarians is that perfect place - a place that I know my dogs will receive the best care they need. And it will be for your fur-babies too. Their follow through is exceptional. For example, when they say they will call you with the test results the next day, they actually do. I don't recall ever having to call them first. The staff is great as well. When you go to the vet with a sick pet, you are already nervous. So...am really grateful when I am greeted with a friendly smile and very patient vet techs that posses empathy. That's what you will get with the staff at Escaya Veterinarians. Thank you Escaya Veterinarians! read more

Escaya Vets is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR! We had been going to Otay Pet Vets for years and ended up having a horrible experience where our pup was diagnosed with cancer and a vet that didnt listen to us. We took our pup to Escaya Vets for a second opinion (we did got to an oncologist as well) and Dr Salcido gave Cooper a full examination and didnt find any cancer....turns out he didnt have any cancer after all. Everyone was so nice, professional and understanding. Hilary is amazing! She always makes you feel so welcome whenever you step through the door! Escaya Vets is our new vet and we have never been happier! read more

Very impressed with this vet office! We saw Dr. Urbina and both her and her technician were so knowledgeable, caring, efficient, and responsive. Very reasonable cost-wise as well. It was so easy to make an appointment and we were seen same day. We used to go to TJ for vet services but we're so happy we found this location. read more

I went here for the first time this last weekend for my older cat. He needs his teeth cleaned. The staff made organizing a time really easy and they were able to get me in in a timely manner. We saw Dr Urbina. She is clearly a person who cares deeply about the animals she is providing care to. She was quickly able to put my somewhat nervous cat (and me) at ease for the pre-dental cleaning checkup. Her vet tech was equally competent and quickly able to explain the treatment options, reasonably priced relative to other places I have been. I highly recommend this practice for anyone who has the misfortune of their furbabies requiring veterinary care. These are people that genuinely care about the well being of your pet and have the skills (technical, animal handling and people handling!) to provide the best possible outcomes. read more

I have taken my dog to see Dr. Urbina for a while now, starting with a dental cleaning and more recently a paw infection. In all our visits, the staff has been very friendly, attentive, and professional. The team at Escaya veterinarians does an excellent job interacting with, and calming, my dog who tends to get very anxious at vet clinics. Dr. Urbina is incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful in identifying and treating issues pertaining to our fur friends. When it comes to my pup, I am very particular- but I wholeheartedly trust the staff here and highly recommend. read more

I am sooo happy to have found this vet office! And so excited to find out that Dr Urbina and Dr Salcido are Veterinarians here! They were my favorites from a previous clinic we took our dogs to for many years. Today we saw Dr Salcido and she is very knowledgeable and nice. The front desk staff and the Vet Assistant were also super nice! They took super good care of my little Milo. We'll be bringing our other doggies here in the future for sure! :) read more

First time at Escaya vet and I was very pleased with Kayla and Dr. Urbina. Both were very patient and gentle with my dog and addressed all concerns I had. Thank you! read more

Ridiculously overpriced!!! I was looking for a new vet closer to home and was willing to pay 10%, 20%, 30% more than what I'm paying now. This place is 100% more than what I'm paying at another vet in San Diego. In some cases over three times the price. Vaccines 2x the price. For a simple blood panel I normally pay $50, they wanted to charge $158. That one fee isn't such a big deal but when you start adding double AND triple the price on every little thing they want to charge, a visit that normally would've costed me $500 ends up being more than $1000. And that's if they don't even find anything wrong with my dog. For a small mass removal they again wanted to charge me an additional appointment fee, which I just paid for to get the quote. $620 for a teeth cleaning while she's already under anesthesia. They tried to oversell me on other stuff too. If I paid for everything they wanted, that was all routine. I would've been charged $2400. If they actually found something else wrong with my dog, God knows how much they would've been charging me. I'll also add that the two office assist staff appeared to be afraid of dogs. I have the sweetest dog in the world and they wouldn't even pet her. If you work at a vet, you should not be afraid of animals. read more

Hi I I hope this message finds you well had a great experience we had to take our dog Luna in for eye hemragin the doctor and the tech were both so knowledgeable unlike Otay pet vets doctor Anderson at Otay pet vets I highly recommend u to take t your dogs and pets here ps Todd ledesma read more

I need to update my previous review with an apology to Dr Urbina for misspelling her name throughout my previous review as (Urbani). Otherwise, everything still stands in my previous review. Our kitten Hunter is now eating like a champ and his vomiting and diarrhea have been gone for at least 7 days. Dr Urbina gave Hunter two Rxs that saved his life: Mirataz an appetite stimulant; and Visbiome an expensive probiotic, but it stopped his diarrhea within 3 days of first dose after suffering with it for 7 days. THANK YOU Dr Urbina!! read more

Dr. Urbina is very knowledgeable in her practice and treats your pet like her own. I'd recommend her for your veterinary needs.
