We recently returned to Santa Barbara after living in the Bay Area for 5 years. Our pup had…read moreoccasionally been to the vet here in SB over the last 5 years, but we were hoping to find one closer to our home and where we frequent the most. Enter La Cumbre Animal Hospital! Our 13 year old pup was showing signs of some kind of cold/bronchitis situation. LCAH was able to get him in within a week and provided great care to him throughout his visit. I really appreciated that they had special accommodations and considerations for animals that might be contagious (like mine) and for pets who may have sensitivity to going to the vet (I saw many enter while I waited to pick our pup up). They have a relatively large clinic and lots of staff on hand to support with caring for your animals. We will definitely now be regulars here and appreciate the care shown towards our furry family member.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate Doctor Brand!! She is one of only two vets in both Santa…read moreBarbara and Ventura County that I trust with my birds (the other being Dr. Sellers, also in SB). Dr. Brand has a lot of experience with birds and when I have an issue or species she isn't as familiar with, she's completely up front with me. But the key is, she's always willing and interested to learn!! So if I bring her something new, she'll let me know what she knows or doesn't know, and then she'll research to try to find the best solution for my animal! That is invaluable to me. Her staff is friendly and professional, and her new office is clean clean and bright. A little challenging to get into the parking lot if it's your first time, since it's on a busy street, but once you've been you'll see how to make it easier next time you visit. I think her prices are very fair, and so far it isn't a long wait to get in to see her. I've been coming to Dr. Brand for the past 3 offices she's worked at. But she bought this location so she's not going anywhere now and that's awesome!

I got a phone call 20 minutes before my appointment (i was already on my way) that there had been no ear checkup for my pet stating it was infected or unclean so they couldn't clean the ear. The lady said I could make an appointment for my pet to check the ear AND then I could get the ear cleaned... which would be twice as expensive. The last appointment I had the doctor had checked my pets ear. This is frustrating especially since I changed my schedule so I could take my dog to this appointment.

Maybe they are going through a difficult time, like I think a recent retired doctor, but it's just been a recent change in overall attentiveness and level of care. There isn't consistently a place for the pets to wait for there turn in a quiet space. Families aren't all given the chance to stay in the room with their pets. It is considered a special request. Our cat ended up having to wait in the car to avoid the sounds and smells of the dogs. He dislikes dogs, so this already makes it a little challenging and stresses him out. We voiced other concerns with them directly, so I don't think it's necessary to include everything here, but just wanted to leave a review as feedback so hopefully they take it to heart to improve. We are sad to leave this practice. They were so friendly and caring until the end of our time having our cat as a patient. I am not leaving a bad rating, just 3 stars because the vets are actually really skilled. But the admin staff and support from the techs hasn't felt up to par recently. Hopefully things get back on track.

I can't recommend this urgent care enough! I don't yet have a regular vet in Santa Barbara for my…read more10-year-old Yorkie, Bentley, and when he started having digestive issues that sent me into a panic, I decided to bring him here on a whim- and I'm so glad I did. Tip: arrive right before they open at noon. We waited about five minutes and were seen immediately. The initial exam fee was around $140. The facility is incredibly clean and modern, and every staff member we interacted with was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. They took their time answering all of my questions and clearly explained my options without any pressure- outlining both the minimum recommended testing and additional tests purely for reassurance. Lab work revealed mild pancreatitis. Bentley received fluids and anti-nausea medication, and we went home with antibiotics, digestive support, and prescription food to support his recovery. I left feeling confident that he was truly cared for from every angle. While the visit was more expensive than I initially expected, it was absolutely worth it. I walked out with answers, clarity, and peace of mind- and I would not hesitate to bring Bentley back here again.

So annoyed at that Urgent Veterinary Care technician and management team. I have a feral cat who…read morehad a bloody external ear wound with alopecia. Without running any tests the vet came back and said it might be cancer. I acknowledged that may be the case but thought it was alarmist and premature to say that. The technician came back after cleaning the ear up to say they at this point they do agree it's a wound with possible infection, not cancer. Although they wanted to meet with me to go over the treatment and meds before I left, they forgot to put an antibiotic medicine dispenser in my bag, and three separate times I had to remind them to go back and give my (feral) cat his first dose of antibiotics, and flea meds, and remind them again to check for worms. They also forgot to give me topical antiseptic pads so I can clean the wound. I think they are training young interns who have no idea what they are doing.

We called first to let them know we were coming and to check that Hal could be seen. We were brought right in, and Hal was carefully taken back. The waiting room was full of books and photos-very welcome distractions while we waited. We were updated periodically, and everyone was so kind and patient with our questions and worry. Thankfully it was nothing life-threatening and we were able to take Hal home after he was examined, treated and observed for a bit. We were sent home with very detailed instructions about his medications and care. We are so grateful that AVS was available to care for Hal, and that he got such caring and wonderful treatment. You can tell that they are truly animal loving humans.
