I have brought my kitties to Dr Bogart and Dr Baley for decades. And my parents as well with all their dogs and kitties. I wouldn't take them to anyone else. Very responsive in timely urgencies and appointments are made within a couple weeks. They take the time to understand you and your pets. and they talk you through the process and procedures. read more

Zero stars. Customer service is atrocious. I had been calling for several days to see if I could make an appointment for my two month old puppy. Called 8 TIMES today when I just decided to make the 45 minute drive to go ask only to find out they aren't taking new clients. Would've been nice to know o I don't know the 30 times I called before. They wouldn't even trim his nails. read more

See all

this is an extraordinary vet office. Since moving away from Ojai, ten years ago I now must drive one and a half -to three and a half hours to get here because I've not found another vet that compares to their exemplary care for my animals. Even when Dr Bailey isn't available, i still book as all their doctors are great too! Really, it's hard not to gush with gratitude, having compared vets i realize the difference, the rarity of Matilija's competent and kind treatment of our pets ! Yes come because you wont tolerate the usual vet experiene and stay because, you will notice it, even your pet likes it here! (The only vets office where my dog dosent cling and claw me on entering). So, if you can, by all means, bring your animal(s) here. read more

Thank you Matilija Vet for caring for Ajax & all my precious animals. read more

I've been a client for at least 50 years . I remember being 12 and my dog got stitches on his neck and neutered on the same day. At 14 I was allowed to ride my horse over to get his yearly work done in 1975. Fast forward and so many amazing animals over the years . I still love this place and truly appreciate the care and knowledge these Doctors have given to my family. Dr. lion , Dr. Bailey and Dr. Bogart Just to mention a few . I'm truly grateful for each and everyone of you read more

We put down our 16 year old dog on Dec. 20th 2022. We were told that we would get a phone call within a week to let us know when we could come by and pick up her ashes. We were supposed to have been notified so that we could decide which urn to put her ashes in. After almost 2 weeks of waiting and waiting, my husband decided to give them a call because we wanted to have her remains by the New Year. Upon calling, my husband was told that she was there and ready to be picked up. We have no idea as to how long she was there, sitting around waiting for a call that never came. When I went to pick her up today after my husband's call, I asked the older lady at the front desk why we hadn't gotten a call to let us know our dog's ashes were ready. All I got was "It's been one of those weeks." Well, no shit lady. It's been one of "those weeks" for us too as we've been waiting for 2 weeks so hear back from you guys. Honestly, the lack of compassion and humanity from this veterinarian was absolutely appalling. There was no "I'm sorry" nothing. Just a lame excuse from them. We paid over $350 to have our old lady put down here and had such a shit experience with this vet clinic. A simple phone call (which we were promised as we swiped our card to pay for everything) would have been sufficient. Had we not called over and over again until they picked up days after, our dog's ashes would've sit there until we called. Not acceptable at all. read more

Great staff and professionalism. I've frequenting Dr. Bailey's establishment for several years now. I found out about his company due to a referral from a friend and colleague. I've only heard positive things about them. They are a very busy vet office and I appreciate them advising over the phone as well as necessary. Thank you Dr. Bogart, Kylie, Dr. Tolmie and Dr. Bailey. I highly appreciate you and recommend you to my friends and clients as well. read more

Matilija Veterinary Hospital is one of the very best experiences I have ever had with a vet. They were genially concerned and attentive. There was a female vet tech there named Spider, who was amazing and made a suggestion that might have saved my dogs life! Or at least extended it. I have been to vets all over Ventura County, by far the best experience. read more

I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Bogart & the entire staff at Matilija Veterinary Hospital for the excellent care of my dog Princess. She was presenting with some pretty serious symptoms & they made sure to get her in quickly and ran all the tests & provided medicine same day. Dr. Bogart was available for phone calls and personally called me to discuss the results. It's so nice to know that in an urgent situation they are there to help. Thank you so much for everything!! read more

Our family will always bring our pets to Matilija Veterinary Hospital for care. read more

Dr. Bailey has been a great veterinarian for my senior dog. His staff is friendly and polite and he treated me with respect and care even when I was going through a rough time with Josie. He is extremely knowledgeable and has great advice and options. I felt like he was very supportive in helping me make end of life decisions for her, and when she did finally have to be put down, his office made a donation in Josie's memory to the UC Davis Medical Center. The office is small, clean and well maintained. I find it easy to get appointments and they have some hours on Saturdays too, which is great for me since I work during the week. Dr. Bailey has also helped me with basic avian veterinary care, though I go to Santa Barbara for specialized bird problems. read more

This is the best vet hospital in the world. Dr. Matt Bailey is supernaturally gifted to heal every single animal from a frog to a Buffalo. He cares deeply about the animals and works over hours to make sure he does his job right. It's Great price for the care and skill. You need to go to this vet or you won't be satisfied and your pet will still have problems. My dog got hit by a car and Dr. Bailey miraculous saved his life and did emergency hip surgery. He is so great. You can't go wrong with this veterinary practice read more

Doctors and staff are always super busy but find time to accommodate patients whenever possible. I had been taking my pets to see Dr Bailey for many years and when Dr Tolmie came on board honestly I was a little hesitant. I have found that she is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. She goes out of her way to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend any of the Doctors and all of the office staff members are great as well. read more

Awesome vet clinic. Dr. Bailey and all his staff are wonderful,kind animal lovings souls. My dog loves Dr. Toulme. She has known Joy since she was 3. Joy actually gets excited when she sees her Dr. They are very accomadating and really have compassion for both the animals and the owners. Awesome place. read more

Our experiences with Dr. Bogart and her staff has been exceptional. They have provided wonderful care to our cat so I highly recommend them.

The best veterinary office!!! Had pets for the last 40 years and Dr Matt Bailey is the most sensible and affordable vet ever. read more

I've been taking my pets to this establishment for 13yrs. and have always felt my animals were getting great care. Price wise, they are very, very fair... never trying to "gouge" as some others do. Dr Linda Bogart is my vet, and although I've heard great comments about her from dog owners, I'm pretty sure she is a feline specialist! Her compassion & gentleness is tops! read more

Such a knowledgeable, compassionate, caring Vet. My fur babies are in the best hands ever. Thank You Dr. Matt.

Some of the best and caring vets around. They treat the animals with kindness and are careful to be sure you get a complete understanding of your pets health . They saved my dog so I'll forever be grateful. read more

Dr Bailey was wonderful. We took our 8 year old little girl in to see what is going on with her hip. Dr Bailey was very kind and compassionate toward our pup. We have lived in Ojai for 4 years now and need a Veterinarian here as well as Santa Clarita (where we also have a place). We love to use veterinarians who care about animals as much as us. And at Matilija Veterinary, they were the best! We will be taking our babies there and we recommend them to our friends and others. Thank you Dr Bailey for your help. read more

Dr Bailey is awesome really cares about how your animal is doing in making sure they are ok and if your having any problems let him know he goes the extra mile for sure on that . Need more vets like him read more

This review is based solely on the business/customer service part: Had an injured dog; made an appointment; arrived on time; waited 1/2 hour; into the waiting room comes a person with an UNLEASHED dog, who goes straight for my injured boy. No request from the staff to put the dog on a leash. I have to take my injured dog outside to protect him. Very hot outside today. Waited some more. Finally, put my injured boy in the car and let the desk staff know I was leaving. Unleashed lab still on the loose in the waiting area. 45 minutes of totally wasted time. Unconcerned was a polite description of the staff. Can't imagine how fantastic the vets here must be for their customers to tolerate this bs. read more

We've been going to Matilija for years and love the Vets there. But we called with an Emergency regarding our cat, and the receptionist said they were too booked to see him. She said to take him to another Vet, so we did and we will continue to. My cats bladder was as big as a baseball and he was in excruciating pain. Thank you Dr Sallen, of Ojai Village Vet Hospital, for seeing Junior right away and hospitalizing him overnight. He predicted a 3-5 night stay for Jr. But he came home 25 hours later! All better!! You are our new Vet Dr Sallen. read more

Can't even BEGIN To tell you all the great stories! Patience, wisdom, genuine caring from the entire staff.

I took my dog here after going to another vet in town for years. I was pleased with their service and the vets attentiveness with everything I was telling her about my doggo. I was also extremely grateful that they were so understanding and flexible when it came to the bill- for that, they have my business forever :) read more

My opinion is...the very best in Ventura County. Saved one of my dogs and one of my cats lives. At present, they are in the process of doing it once again. Couldn't ask for better than that! read more

Dr. Bogart and Dr. Bailey are both expert surgeons who have stitched up my two cats from fights and abscesses over the past 10 years, allowing them to live long, strong healthy lives. Dr Bogart has taken care of both of my 18 year old kitties since 2007 when I first moved to Ojai and I recommend her hands down. She is attentive, meticulous, a good listener and she asks thoughtful questions. When one of my two cat siblings was at the end of his life, she was caring, supportive and a big part of the reason we could let go with peace and love. I can not reiterate enough how grateful I am to have two such competent veterinarians in the Ojai Valley with their superb team of staff and vet techs - Liz, Geena, Lisa, Pam, Spider - and all the others who really do care. MVH is one of the best services Ventura County has to offer. read more
