    Luna at her first Vet visit
    Blazzin S.

    The whole process was clear, concise, and streamlined. From the first phone call with Matea and CC to the discharge with Jonathon. And of course in the middle with Dr. Ral (exam and surgery). They have got very professional and patient front staff and nurses. It was Luna's first visit to the vet as we noticed her breathe getting really bad. We got the estimate after the exam (very reasonable for the area) and it was quite the sticker shock. They offered a small discount for dental work and it worked out to be very fair for the amount of time and skill needed for the procedure (18 extractions!) I can tell the entire staff is unbiased for every animal that comes in and treats each of them with the utmost care and respect. I'm glad to have such a great first experience with such a great team and company. Print this and post it because you guys deserve the much needed praise. Dr. Ral, you are an amazing human being, thank you for your professionalism, experience, care and kindness and I am grateful to have crossed paths with you.

    Teeth extractions

    This place is amazing!! I cannot say that enough! I have been struggling to afford my dogs teeth cleaning, because he needed extractions and to go under. They gave me as much discounts as they could, and my dog loved them! He does not like anyone other than myself holding him, but they were very considerate and careful with him he genuinely trusted them. He even had an accident after the surgery and they washed my blanket for me. I have gone to A LOT of vets and have Mostly had a bad experience with all of them, but the dr definitely cares about his furr patients and so does everyone in the front desk. I asked a lot of questions and they were very helpful. I will definitely be coming back !

    My little dog all recovered from her big surgery :)

    Great clinic, nice staff, fair prices. They took great care of my little dog! I adopted my dog from one of the local shelters in the area back in September 2023 and was concerned that she was coughing a lot for such a young dog, so I took her in. They did an X-ray of her chest and saw she had a diaphragmatic hernia. All her digestive organs had been sitting in her chest for who knows how long! She's only 4 years old but has been in the shelter for almost all of those years, so she had been living this way for a long time. We told them that the shelter told us she may have been hit by a car in the past since she has a little limp on her hind legs, and they said it's possible that if she got hit by a car at a young age, the trauma from the hit could have pushed her organs into her chest cavity. Doctor there said that we could do surgery to help correct it, but it was going to be a really risky one since they would have to open up the chest cavity, but my family wanted to give her the best quality of life so we went ahead. Recovery was pretty scary for a while, but she pulled through, and now she's doing 100x better. She still coughs sometimes, but that's because one of her lungs is smaller than the other cause her organs had been in her chest cavity for so long. She even started gaining weight! She used to be incredibly skinny, and the shelter said that she would constantly be eating but never gain weight, and they had all assumed she had a fast metabolism. Now we know it's because she couldn't get nutrients with her organs stuffed up next to her lungs :( I'm really glad we brought her in, thanks Evergreen!

    My dog Jasper

    Evergreen Pet Clinic in San Pablo Towne Square is a clean facility that looks brand new, which it probably is since they just changed their location. It is owned by the vet, Dr. Rao, not by a corporation. I brought in my dog Jasper because he is overweight. Dr. Rao did a good examination, and recommended a Hills kibble that addresses weight issues. I had a blood test done including a CBC. It was normal. Dr. Rao called me himself when the results came in and told me it was good. I also received the results by email. Dr. Rao is very professional and courteous, and obviously cared very much about my dog. The receptionist was also very friendly. Dr. Rao is Indian (I think), and he was a little hard to understand, but I just asked him to repeat what I didn't understand and it was no problem. Evergreen is less expensive than elsewhere (VCA, owned by a corporation, wanted twice as much for the same bloodwork). I recommend it, and will be back. The photo is of Jasper on an outing.

    Bella'Lynn during her cast moments, we want you to get better soon!
    Tisha H.

    My dog Bella'Lynn, is a 3lbs yorkie that fractured two bones in her right leg November 2021- and her cast was off in February 2022. The prices are understandable for the job to be done correctly. It was a pleasure taking my dog here because Dr. Rao explained x-rays and what he is expecting for her recovery. The clinic took great care of our princess, example, when I dropped her off they asked if she ate and how she was doing, and if I had any concerns I was able to connect with the doctor before departing. Each time I arrived staff at the front desk new who we were "Bella'Lynn has arrived!" which made me feel like we were welcomed. The aftercare was explained and easy for us to follow at home, since she was given medication I wanted a follow up appointment for her leg to see about the recovering process. I enjoyed the text message reminder, that was helpful. Suggestion **I'm a calendar person, to help plan out my day. Maybe sending a calendar invites for appointments once scheduled would be highly helpful if available. I see new talent in the office and my mother has token all of our dogs here and I haven't had an issue to make us not stay here. I see things changing in a better direction, and see staff if very understandable. Example, We had a little hiccup with the casting being too big for her leg, where she wasn't able to walk or anything and it even came off but they fixed it when I gave a call the next day with no problem. In addition to that, I wasn't aware of the fee and couldn't spend the amount and had the opportunity to come back the next day to complete the payment. I do highly recommend coming here because they care for pets and with everything in the United States it will be expensive for good care but please be understanding that the staff here is caring for our loved ones. I know it takes me a moment to FULLY understand things, and I appreciate doctor taking his time out to explain things and answer my question I have regarding the care of our family member. Please be patient with them and RELAX. I do thank you all at the clinic for caring and not rushing to help me feel comfortable knowing she is in good care with you all!

She was very kind and professional. After that our cat (Gojo) was taken care by Dr.Ada Lee who was also very understanding and gentle. She made sure to provide Gojo the proper care and treatment that he needed while breaking down the cost of the treatment with total transparency and only recommended what was necessary for that exact treatment without pushing any other unnecessary costs. Gojo had abscess treatment. Even right after he got his treatment and his fur shaved off on the infected area, he was very calm which means he was handled with care. In just one week we are seeing good results of him feeling better and his fur is growing back normally. Can't describe enough how grateful we are for VCA for helping Gojo cure out of his pain. All the other staffs were friendly and amazing as well. Highly recommend this place as it puts our mind at ease at how they really take good care of our fur babies as well as us. Will be looking forward to our next visit. :)

I would give this place 5 stars. However, when I came in for my cat's yearly checkup in 2024, Dr. Sirkis had started the appointment accusing me of not caring for my cat's pain and was not willing to hear anything edgewise related to my cat's medical history once she had formed that opinion. When she found the mass in my cat's throat, her tone changed from rude to just plain awkward. "Oo... *wince* He has cancer." As I started to ask about his prognosis while crying and hyperventilating, she gives me a "Yea... Sorry" and "Well, when do you want to schedule the euthanasia?" I was shell shocked that someone who was supposedly regularly interacting with patients would so callously bring up putting down my child. I responded that I would make an appointment with an oncologist (who was infinitely more patient and sympathetic, shout out Dr. Kidd!), and she responded with "Well, if you want to go see someone who's going to say exactly the same thing I did, sure." After the appointment, I double checked with the nurse who came out with my cat to make sure there was truly nothing to be done. In contrast, she was super gentle and sympathetic, and she let me have a good cry. She was a real one for helping me keep it together. Later, when Dr. Sirkis called me with my biopsy results, she continuously brought up euthanasia over and over again. Nothing about keeping my cat comfortable or how long I might get to keep him around. Just "euthanasia" "when do you want to euthanize" "euthanizing would be..." It was cruel and heart wrenching. I asked her to stop talking about euthanasia and to never contact me again. She still sent me a generically printed get well card, rub a little more salt in the wound I guess. The issue is not that she wants me to consider euthanasia. It's that she was heartless and cruel in her demeanor. She was the person I was supposed to depend on during this process, and instead, she made the grieving process even more isolating and emotionally taxing. I felt uncomfortable even having to contact the hospital for more pain meds just in case I would have to talk to her again (in which, even though she knew my cat was in pain, would insist on only giving me a few days dose worth, so I would have to continuously make trips for more medicine, even though the oncologist was perfectly fine giving me a week or two's worth). I literally waited until only now to post this review because I finally moved and don't have to fear the possibility of this horrid shell of a person potentially taking out her displeasure on my other cat during an appointment. She's a terrible person, and since she was so willing to kick me down when I was low, I will say that her last name is perfectly fitting for a clown like her.
