    It was aiight. The ladies there were informative and they assured us that my cat was going to do fine. My girl Shadow is recovering fast after her spay surgery! & we ended up shaving her

    Scott the tech was so knowledgeable! Dr Obara was great! He was able to take my dogs, blood pressure, detect a ear infection that he gave meds for, he also reviewed my mainland, vet report, test, results, summary of procedures, right before we saw him. Often times vets will make you tell them rather than take the time to read about the patient's history before they see them. This was a very warm and friendly clinic environment from the beginning. Britney was very accommodating in finding me an appointment for that day, being a new patient, I find that difficult because I had called four other vets, and they would not see my dog for 2 to 3 weeks . Of course I would be going back to the mainland before then, so that timeframe would not work out. I'm so glad I have a vet established on Oahu. They're willing to work with my vets on the mainland so they can keep in communication with each other. I feel since I take my dog back-and-forth to the mainland that I really needed to establish a good vet on Oahu. I think I found him!

    Best vet clinic on the island! Dr. Obara and his staff are just the best... Got my puppy Bear fully up to date with his vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped with them. They break down cost, after care, etc. Super helpful! What's nice is they even have an app! I'm so glad I found a place I truly feel comfortable with and most importantly, that takes such good care of my sweet boy.

    Always my go to Pet Clinic. Dr Obara is knowledgeable and has a passion for animals. I have faith he always has the well-being of the animal and the owners at heart. All services are done throughly and is affordable. All of my 14 dogs have been going to the Kalihi Pet Clinic, since Dr Timothy Lau. Dr Alan Obara has been the Vet to my last 5. I recommend Dr Obara and his Staff for all your pets needs.

    My apologies wrong clinic?

    If going in on a Saturday, what time should I get to the clinic in efforts of not having to wait a long time... is there a sign up sheet?

    There is a sign in sheet. It is usually put up around 7 am. Usually early is better for Saturday’s. The clinic will be changing to appointments starting in January.

    Hi I'm wondering how much it would cost for visit and treatment (prescription meds) for my dogs ear infection?

    Not sure but you will receive the best care for your dog.

    Do you have payment plans? We need to bring our Tibetan Spaniel in tomorrow morning but have no idea how much this will cost?

    In the past, the clinic would only accept cash or check as payment. However, they now take credit cards. I am not sure which credit cards exactly, but I do know they will accept Visa and Mastercard. If you plan on using something like Amex or… 

    What are the rates for puppy immunizations?

    As each car w may be different, I can only respond that their total charge for a yearly was $120 which included the testing. They are more than reasonable! You can message the clinic thru Yelp or call to find out.

    Hi! I have a 4 year old 17 lb mini poodle mix. I'm wondering how much it would cost for a full on teeth cleaning? I've noticed some tartar on his back teeth. Thank! Stacey…

    My 8 year old 12 lb Maltese is $350. That includes everything.

    King Street Pet Hospital used to be awesome. The vets were great and the prices were fair…read more Unfortunately, it now feels like veterinary care is going the same direction as so many other industries; corporate ownership and private equity. A recent example really bothered me. During my dog's visit, the vet specifically told me she would NOT recommend removing his canine teeth. A week later, I received the estimate by text and, sure enough, canine tooth extractions were included as recommended treatment... at $400 a tooth! I obviously want the best care for my dogs and don't mind paying for things they actually need. But lately, it feels like the vets are being pushed to sell more services, almost like the main job of a veterinarian has shifted to something more like a used car salesperson; from providing proper and reasonable care to increasing commissions and gross profit. Really disappointing because King Street used to be a clinic I trusted completely.

Everything has gone very smoothly,…read moreand today I was blown away by the pricing: He's grown a few lumps over the last couple months so I brought him in to check. They did the biopsy and analysis on three of them, and gave me the (benign) results in less than an hour. All for $143. I see people complain about pricing, but don't forget that the prices of vaccines and meds are controlled by big pharma, not by the vet! If you want to complain about that, you need to complain to Congress, not to the vet.

We had to switch vets once before finding this clinic, and ever since then, we've truly trusted and appreciated the care they provide. Everyone at the front is always so friendly and welcoming, and they always play with our husky! I totally understand that huskies love everyone, but not everyone loves a husky's playfulness, so I really appreciate the attention and love they show our dog. One time, our husky injured her paw with a deep cut that needed after-hours care, and I am forever grateful that Dr. Hsu was available to see her right away. Even though he had already left the office, he was willing to come back for her. I think the care they provide, the heart they put into what they do, and the genuine compassion they have for animals are such important qualities when finding the right vet. We've also utilized their in-house boarding services. At first, we were worried about how our dog would do, but she did more than fine and has loved going back multiple times. The boarding process is also very seamless. They take care of her daily meals, provide 3-4 walks a day, and if anything ever comes up, they're already a vet clinic, so they can provide professional advice and care right away! I highly, highly recommend their services, knowledge, and care. I will always trust my dog in their hands. 10/10!!

I called in with an emergency, and they were accommodating enough to take me in right away, which I really appreciated. As soon as I got out of my Uber, they opened the automatic door and immediately took my cat in. I ended up spending the entire day there, which was fine--my cat requires a lot of patience due to trauma he experienced before I adopted him, and they handled him with care. The only area that could use some improvement is communication between staff. I did have to repeat my concerns a few times. Their services are on the higher end price-wise, but if you truly love your pet, it's worth paying a little extra for that level of care.

They offered a second option of a bit over $2,000 where we would be able to take him home sooner and watch for symptoms/improvement, which we decided to take considering it was a holiday weekend and our regular vet wasn't open. We had to pay upfront, which I understand to be common with vet emergencies, but they were still pushy and tried to sell us pet insurance. The medication they prescribed seemed to somewhat help, but we ended having to have him stay over 2 weeks at his regular vet, where they had to monitor him. Their treatment cost was only just under $2,000 for the entire 2 week stay. Turns out all he needed was a diet change. No major interventions, unlike what VERC had insisted. Our regular vet asked if VERC performed a urinalysis (as they said they should have done before making any moves). We realized they hadn't. I think VERC is obviously a spot to go in desperation, but I would not return. I understand it's a business at the end of the day, but their practices made us uncomfortable. It's clearly a profitable business to get into. No wonder so many vets keep opening up around Oahu. Will remain wary and won't be returning to this one.

I have read many of their reviews and I see them trying to justify some of their discrepancies in pricing. My invoice was over $599 for a new cat check up, nail trim ($50+), a 5 minute snap FIV test ($220+), ear cleaner, and a fecal test. (Not including the $80 booster shot which after tax would've made it almost over $600). When they say: "When you are a new pet owner, it's hard to anticipate costs." ***My answer: I called two other highly rated vet hospitals on island after receiving my invoice, the other vet hospitals also confirmed this place was completely over charging me. When they said to me: "Hawaii is a lot more expensive than the mainland for vet care." ***My answer: I have had cats for 10+ years in CA, and now 6+ years in Hawaii, and my mother is an equine vet, there are differences, but not by hundreds of dollars for simple tests. I feel very slighted and that they target new pet owners who don't know a lot (they reached out to me first, I did not reach out to them days after adopting a cat, how did they get my information? It is on me for not doing further research). I don't think the technicians, vets, or front office staff are incompetent, I just don't agree with their service. I won't be going back. Also, there was leftover cat fur on the table when I went into the room, and I understand it does get everywhere, but it didn't seem like the most sterile environment for my cat at that moment.

As someone who works in the medical field myself, I fully understand how schedules run, how delays affect the flow of the day, and why offices have late-arrival policies in place. At the same time, I also understand that good front-office support requires judgment, discretion, and a willingness to help when a situation is still workable. I arrived approximately 11 minutes after my scheduled appointment and had called the office twice in advance to let the team know I was running behind. This was a straightforward consultation regarding flea treatment for my dog - a brief visit that likely would have taken less than 15 minutes and I had already communicated the reason for the appointment and not to mention no other patients in the waiting room. Policies are important, but so is the way they are carried out. In this case, the interaction felt unnecessarily rigid and lacking in compassion. I left with the impression that the front office could have helped, but simply chose not to. Unfortunately, that experience did not reflect the level of professionalism, empathy, or reciprocity I expect in a medical setting and for that reason I will be seeking veterinary care elsewhere.
