Last year we seen a new doctor there that just charged for everything on her ear infection that the technician took some of the charges off because he said they weren't necessary. Anyways, I had my son take her to the doctor in January this year because she's been limping and he came home with no dog. He said the doctor's putting her to sleep to take x-rays to figure out what's wrong with her knee. The bill came to $1300 never heard from the doctor. He was working on the price on how much it was gonna cost for a torn ACL still no response finally, I took her to Warm spring pet hospital and their prices are on the website on exactly how much they charge for an ACL they do not put their dogs to sleep to take x-rays. I refer everyone who has problems with torn ACL or any knee injuries to go to Warm Springs pet hospital. I made the call everything was done over the phone and her surgery was scheduled seven days later. I think Colma Animal hospital can do better at communicating and bringing back their affordable prices without hidden charges.

I had to reach out and give a very positive review for Dr. Cruz. After my dog broke her leg and…read morerequired surgery, I was given a list of affordable veterinary resources. Unfortunately, my experience at the surgery center in Los Angeles was all-around awful, and I deeply regret it. Recently, I was calling around this low-cost list, inquiring about dental cleanings for my fur babies. I called a number listed as a affordable veterinary referral service . A nice gentleman answered. He began educating me on dental care for dogs, and his knowledge was impressive. After our conversation, I texted him asking if he had any resources for orthopedic specialists, as I thought my dog might need revision surgery. He asked to see her X-rays and provided a consultation on them. Curious about his familiarity with canine bones and X-rays, I asked how he knew so much. He revealed that he is actually a DVM with experience in fracture repairs. I had no idea I was speaking to a veterinarian with orthopedic experience! I was truly impressed by his thoughtfulness, care, generosity with his time, and trustworthiness. I've shared Dr. Cruz's contact information with several individuals in crisis with their fur babies. Dr. Cruz is a truly kind and caring individual , and I have no doubt he is an amazing veterinarian and surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Cruz, for your incredible help in my baby's recovery ‍

So they cancelled my appointment without me knowing and changed it as well. I talked to two women…read morein the phone who where very nice and caring. I give them 5/5 but I had some worries about sending my precious lil husky there for cleaning under anesthesia that were not assuaged. One was they admitted the pricing online was wrong, not true pricing and refused to even give me a ballpark estimate (my dog is 3 I just wanted to reset the tartar buildup nothing else) but I was stonewalled and told they have to see my dog first. I can understand that but most other places gave me a range estimate some places gave me the exact amount for what I asked for. The thing that threw me off was I was told two different things. It seems like the point of the first visit was really to try to sell me their insurance/coverage package, which I was not interested in as I have heard all about it. I decided to do some deep research and even people who worked there had horror stories about what happened to their pets. I decided it was not worth it to risk it with my dog. I chose another place, Universal Pet Hospital. It was much further away but they did it all for $850 and my dogs teeth look perfect. I am so glad I didn't risk it because I found out my dog woke up half way through the cleaning and had a full on husky meltdown. They handled it and while his recovery was a bit rough he was 100% the next day. My personal advice is if your pet is your companion don't take the risk to save some money. The only reason I give two stars is because the two women I talked to were so nice and helpful, they were great although I get the sense this place is more about selling people packages and stuff than just straight up medical care. So do beware of that.

To whom it concerns, I've been with banfield for years…read morefrom another previous dog. But with my current dog, I've been doing ultrasounds with Banfield every 6 months. The most recent was 2 weeks ago. I've been waiting 2 weeks to hear back from the doctor about his results as it looks concerning from the previous ultrasound. They gave recommendations, but I can't even move forward because my insurance needs estimations on all the costs so I can get it pre authorized. I went in last Thursday to let the front desk know what I need, they said they called me twice. They didn't. They called once when I was in my evening class, I called back not even 10 seconds later 'We are closed' they said. Now it's been a few days since I came in and they let me know I will get a call back, and they will send me the estimated costs from the recommendations of the doctor. Still nothing. I am so frustrated. I love my dog as if he's my son, I WANT to get the services recommended done so I can prevent his condition from getting worse. Does anyone have any other recommendations on another pet hospital where they actually care about the pets being seen? Everytime I call, I'm put on hold immediately. Sorry, but I also have work and evening school, I can't stay on the phone for who knows how long. Get back to me with something helpful to fix this situation. I've already emailed BanfieldCare@banfield.com.

I had always thought the vet techs at Allcare Veterinary genuinely cared about the well-being of…read moreour pets so that's why I switched to them about two years ago. My dog recently went in for the removal of a mass on his eye lid and Dr. Grossbard said it will be taken care of with no problem. After the procedure, the cone has been kept on except when my dog is being fed, given water or taken outside and I watched him like a hawk to ensure that he didn't scratch his stitches once. After the removal of his cone, I noticed a whitish tint in his eye so he was brought in for a checkup. The doctor said it could've been a complication due to the stitches, the stitches might've been rubbing his cornea and made an ulcer. I'm pretty upset because lately my dog has been acting very antisocial after his procedure. He still happily greets our guests, but after a few minutes, it's like he realizes his discomfort and goes off somewhere secluded. It just saddens me to know that he is in pain even though I agreed to have the procedure done to remove his discomfort in the first place. I have a follow-up soon and I really hope that the damage to his eye isn't permanent and that Allcare Veterinary Hospital will do what they can to get him back to his happy self soon with minimal pain. The vet tech there is always super friendly and my dog loves her, but the receptionist needs an attitude adjustments. I believe her name is Sondra and she seems to not have a care in the world. I would be standing there for ten minutes or more and there's absolutely no acknowledgement or update until I say something. When I ask to be provided with certain documents, I usually don't get it till days later and most of the time it's after I reached out again for the update.

I brought my German Shepherd here last year after switching from Claremont Vet Hospital to avoid…read morethe commute to Oakland. Scheduling was easy, the staff was friendly, and overall we had a positive experience, aside from about $500 in recommended services that I declined. My dog was originally seen for an anal gland expression and two vaccinations. She has anxiety and knocked over a staff member during the first visit, so the clinic recommended Trazodone and Acepromazine for future appointments. I followed their advice, and our next visits went smoothly. A year later, I called to schedule another appointment and was surprised to be told they no longer wanted to see my dog. I wasn't given an explanation, but when I requested her records, I saw she had been labeled as aggressive. This had never been an issue at Claremont Vet Hospital. The lack of transparency was disappointing, especially since my dog was due for routine vaccinations. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this clinic for owners of large, anxious dogs that require extra handling, even when medicated.

Very frustrating experience, especially for something as time-sensitive as international pet…read moretravel. First, I was initially quoted a little over $500 for the rabies titer test, but when I went to pay, the price suddenly became almost $900. I was told they had quoted me the wrong test and that the international export version was more expensive. I accepted the charge because I had already come in and needed the test. Second, after confirming twice with two different people that I would and could pick up my cat's titer results on September 1, they could not find the original report when I came in. Later, I was repeatedly called and asked whether I had sent a friend to pick it up, even though I clearly said no. The repeated "Are you sure?" questioning was extremely uncomfortable and felt like I was being accused without any evidence. Finally, communication regarding the international health certificate was very poor. I had to repeatedly call and follow up myself before I finally got an answer from the manager, despite my flight being only days away. Thankfully, I eventually received the documents and was able to travel, but the entire process was unnecessarily stressful. I would not use this hospital again for international pet travel.

I wanted to share this with other pet parents: Dr. Nguyen's recommendation with a pulpitis…read morediagnosis was immediate extraction of my dog's tooth. I ended up pursuing xrays for my dog at another facility and the vet confirmed the tooth is not infected and does not warrant removal at this time. I also mentioned to Dr. Nguyen that my dog had an intermittent chronic hop/limp that my previous vet diagnosed as patellar luxation. Dr. Nguyen was confident it wasn't patellar luxation and recommended hind limb xrays to figure out what was really wrong. I got that imaging done as well at my other vet, just to confirm she does indeed have bilateral patellar luxation. I would seriously pause to consider this series of misdiagnoses and the extreme and costly procedures that were recommended (which now have been confirmed as unnecessary), when deciding if you want your pets seen here.

Unpredictable. Unprofessional. 9.5 hrs for a pre-scheduled appointment…read more 2 Cat appointments. 7:15 AM. One for Teeth cleaning and the other is a routine check up with some vaccines due. Dropped them off at 7:15, told to come back around 2-3 PM. Got to the Philz in that complex around 2:15PM waiting for the call that they were ready for pick up. 3:45 PM. Nothing - so I call to check in. I get routed to the vet - first cat was "last to get their cleaning....because of anesthesia earliest pick up is 5:15PM". Im told they have a slight ear infection, but they'll give some ear drops and everything else looks good. I ask about the second cat , they reply "oh haven't gotten to them yet". Okay ....whats been going on the last 8.5 hours? I wait til 5:15PM. Front desk people are always very nice. They tell me they're not ready for pick up - at this point I'm not surprised. Vet comes out and goes over the second cat with me. I ask a follow up question about the first cat, Vet says they need to go to the back to get the file and look at it. Follow up question answered. Vet tech goes over instructions with me and says I'm ready to go, they'll bring the cats out now. I ask about the vaccines for the second cat and the ear drops for the first cat. Vet tech says they'll give the vaccines now and ask about the ear drops. Finally out the door by 5:45 PM. Total time - 9.5 hours. Questions: If I didn't call to check in, when would they have called and why didn't I get a heads up that there was a delay. If I didn't ask about the vaccines would they have been marked on the chart but not actually given? If I hadn't asked for the ear drops would they have remembered and given them to me or would I have gotten a call to come back for them the next day? Lastly, what's the point of a 7:15 AM appointment time if 45min after the estimated pick up time, one of the cats hasn't been seen yet? This feels like an infrastructural issue. I don't necessarily blame the Vet (maybe emergencies came in or they fell behind or they're understaffed) and I definitely don't blame the vet techs or front desk. But it feels like there is no communication between care team and the pet owners/members. No communication between care team members. And it feels like they are scrambling, understaffed or both. Unfortunately the lasting feeling is incompetence and that makes me feel something can easily be missed or misdiagnosed. It feels unsafe ...and these are not the lasting feelings I want in healthcare :/
