Amazing experience from start to finish! Thank goodness my vet recommended this facility. Extremely professional staff that all exhibited empathy and concern for the wellbeing of my dog. Was able to quickly schedule a surgery consult desperately needed. Facility is extremely clean with plenty of parking. Arrived 30 mins early for our appointment, but fortunately the doctor was willing to see us immediately upon arrival. Dr Nielsen was outstanding! She quickly had a full understanding of the situation and provided me a confident plan of action in providing my dog immediate unscheduled care on the same day given the severity of his open wound. Truly felt fortunate that Dr Nielsen and her team were assigned to our case. The hospital provided continuous updates via text, email, and phone throughout the process. Definitely a facility that delivers operational excellence at all levels. I highly recommend without hesitation! read more

Thanks to Dr. Hazelton and the team at this location for helping us and our cat, Kitten, with one of the most difficult days we've ever had. They were professional and compassionate in helping us say our goodbyes. We couldn't have asked for better treatment. read more

When you walk into this place just be prepared to be laser focus on the problem at hand. They will try to upsell you on a bunch of stuff. Your cat will have a gallop that needs cardiology consult, GI issue that needs a GI consult, and an internist to review dietary needs. Don't fall for this BS Whatever problem you have with your pet, don't believe their treatment plan. It is almost 1000% more than what your pet needs, 2-3 times more than you need to spend. Unless your pet is dying in the next hour, do yourself a favor and walk out of there. Collect yourself emotionally, call a real doctor for humans, like your doctor. Get a second opinion and ask your doc what would you do if this were me. You'll be surprised the treatment might be way simpler and way less expensive. I have friends in VC space who invest in vet clinics. Their number one goal for their docs and staff is to monetize every unsuspected hapless pet owner like you with minimum of 10k spending once you become a client of their clinic, maybe not in the first visit but for sure in future visits. It's not uncommon to spend 30k for surgery that your pets don't need. These VC guys were laughing about it over martinis. Just check your emotion at the door and get a second opinion from a human doctor. Also remember that human medications and treatment protocols are tested on animals for FDA approval. My two cents. There is always some upselling in vet clinics but this place takes it to another level. Go elsewhere. read more

How do I write a review of a place that literally saved my dog, Raffi's life? Yes, Dr Sparago literally saved Raffi's life. Raffi was in the ICU for 12 days, looking like he would die. But Dr Sparago and the able staff (Jasmine and the other rockstars) at MedVet made all the difference. They are extremely competent, caring, friendly, and compassionate. I highly recommend! read more

Had to bring my cat here for repeat vomiting. Wait was surprisingly fast. Front desk staff were nice and walked us through the process. Comfortable and clean waiting area with coffee pods. The doctor visit was brief, but they offered some fluids and anti nausea meds and were transparent about pricing- I didn't feel taken advantage of with excess tests. Total bill was about 400$ and was out in about an hour and a half, which felt very reasonable. Plus, if we have to come back within 48 hours, the 250$ fee to be seen is waived, which I also found very fair. Will definitely return if needbe for pet emergencies and recommend. read more

Great service, we went in at 11pm when our dog ate a bunch of chocolate. Staff was kind over the phone and quick to help. Very nice and price was fair read more

I highly recommend MedVet for any & all pet emergencies. They have such a wonderful and knowledgeable staff (especially Julia) that will guide & keep you posted along the way. They saved our cat Buster's life. He had a urinary obstruction, which often turn fatal and fast. I definitely recommend this vetinarian for any & all pet emergencies. TY Julia, DVM's & staff for making our kitty all better. You're one of the best emergency vets in South Bay & I've been to plenty. Trust me!! read more

MedVet Mountain View - Thanks to MedVet and their trusted & knowledgeable staff, our cat survived an emergency. - Veterinarians Near Me - Mountain View, California

UPDATE: No one ever called me. Not to check up on my cat (standard procedure for Vets) and not after I called in distress over my cat's condition 1 day later. I was told someone would call me back. They never did. Again, I don't care how they respond here to my review. It wasn't the discussion about charges that was the problem. It was the entire experience. They want your $. They gouge. Then don't care once they have it. Like I said, you can take your pet to another area and the Vet is half the price. This place a disorganized, low empathy racket. It's about the money here. Not your pet or you. Charged me exorbitant amount for simple procedure. At discharge there was an additional $19 owed which I paid. They were extremely concerned with whether I had paid the $19 to the front desk before they said I could go. Once I left with my cat, someone called me to tell me my cat was ready and I could come pick him up! I was already on my way home with my cat. They said I needed to pick up medication and get home care instructions and to come back. ‍. Went back, got the meds, came home and my cat was extremely stressed with the cone on. The cone extended so far out, he couldn't eat. He was so uncomfortable, meowing and and thrashing in the floor making his wound bleed more. I called Med Vet to ask them what I should do and was put on hold to wait for a doctor. After about 5 minutes I was told the doctor will be a while and that they'd let her know what was going on. Never heard back. No one ever called me back. It's 3am as I'm writing this and my cat is still having an extremely hard time and won't stay still. Hasn't gone to the bathroom or eaten in 24 hours now. Med Vet got my $500. That's what they care about. My pet nor myself matter. I could drive 3 hours north and pay half this amount and be shown some empathy and receive after care advice when my pet is in distress. I recommend anyone living in the Bay Area travel outside of the Bay Area for any pet care. The vets here will rake you over the coals and not even flinch. They assume if you live here, you're wealthy and they price procedures accordingly. Take your pet to another county for care if you can. Update: 2 days later. Still no one has called me. My cat removed his cone and has not stopped wailing at the door, rolling around on the ground and scratching his wound. I have to watch him 24/7. I haven't been able to go to work or sleep. It's been extremely stressful and no one from Med Vet has called me to see how he is doing. They do not care. They got their money and that's what matters. read more

Took my poor dog to another vet on Monday, and for $330, the vet found: 1. No constipation at all, stool was soft 2. However, there was a painful anal disease that made my dog want "to go" all the time when there was nothing to go, a hallmark for the anal disease, I was told. 3. Came home with "Metronidazole". By Tuesday, the swelling on his butt was very visually reduced, and he is now pooping normally. read more

Update: Their team reached out to me and mitigated the issue.They took accountability and really did their best to make things right by me. They really earned my respect and a long term customer. I feel more assured that the likeliness of this incident occurring again is 0. I will be bringing my pet back if emergencies arise. read more

I had to bring our puppy to the emergency care after he ate a corn cob. All the ERs by us were filled or were not picking up the phone. I finally reached MedVet and the receptionist was very polite. She also was upfront about the wait time for inducing our puppy to vomit - she said it takes 1-2 hours but my wait time can be 4-6 hours if a critical care case comes in. With that in mind, I drove the 20 minutes to get there. We were checked in quickly and asked to sit and wait. The waiting area was very clean and had bottle water for the pets as well as a clean human bathroom. All of the vet techs were so friendly and I could tell that they each loved animals. We were done within an hour from check in to check out and the price was very reasonable. Hopefully I never have to visit again but, if I did, I would come to MedVet again (the drive was worth the compassionate care!). read more

They used to be very fast and lately maybe they have reduced staffing and just have one doctor. Not staffed like a hospital and it takes way too long. Regret coming here. read more

PLEASE find another emergency vet clinic in the area please. I'm very disappointed in the care my cat received. I brought my cat in for sudden lethargy and I also made a note that his eyes looked abnormal/swollen - however, the vet confirmed that there is nothing wrong with eyes. One week later my cat has pink eye and his eyes are practically shut. How was this not caught during the visit? They did not do a full examination of my cat during the visit I paid $800 for, and now I'm left with NO treatment and frustration at the fact that I paid good money, brought up a reasonable concern that was dismissed, and was not provided with adequate treatment. read more

Super friendly and competent staff! They helped me and my dog feel supported medically when I was in a bit of a panic. Thank you MedVet!!!

Our dog seemed to be in some distress on a Saturday, and after seeing the positive reviews on Yelp we took her to MedVet. I was pleased and impressed with MedVet. The staff seemed competent and compassionate, and were very patient with us (this is our first/new dog). Dr. Kellman was great - very competent, excellent communicator, very helpful. It was all good, and fees were lower than I would have expected. I'd definitely recommend to others. read more

My fur baby became ill all of a sudden; she was not able to walk with her hind legs. I called her vet in a panic, and I made the mistake of listening to their recommendation of taking my fur baby to this Vet. The gentleman who checked her in, saw that she was in distress and was able to see that her bottom was sore. This being the case, he did not do a rectal check so that he would not hurt her further. Unlike him, the vet who saw her Leeza Kuo/ Meera Ramesh went ahead and did a rectal check. After I got my fur baby back, she appeared more distressed and her bottom was super red/ swollen. I questioned why they did a rectal check! And they simply stated that it was part of their protocol. I was informed, with no empathy that most likely my baby was suffering from IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). And that surgery could be anywhere between $15,000-$25,000. I was also sent home with the a medication that interacted with another one. I arrived home with my very sick baby, just to receive a call from the Vet Kuo asking if I could go right back to get the right medication. They gave her much pain/ muscle relaxant medication that I was scared she would die that day. I ended up taking her to UC Davis Animal Hospital. Its a bit of a distance, but it was totally worth it. If you love your fur babies, like I love mine, stay away from this Vet. Take them where they actually care and provide the care that they need. read more

If it weren't for our lack of confidence in the veterinary staff at MedVet, we may have lost our husky. They were recommended by our primary vet, but we will absolutely never be going near this place again. We brought our dog in after she vomited blood on Tuesday. We thought it may have been something she dug out of the trash last Sunday which I told them she most likely ate foil with steak grease on it. They charged us 1,100 for consultation (we never even spoke to the vet in person), the x-rays (which apparently showed nothing wrong, but we wouldn't know cause we never saw them), and prescribed omeprazole and sucralfate (which they haphazardly misdiagnosed ulcers) with NO aftercare instructions. Our dog worsened by Wednesday night and had diarrhea almost every 45min-1hour, I called them several times throughout the night, 10pm, 3am, 7am, and then 11am, not only did they put me on a long hold each time but each time they just kept saying to continue with the medication and the diarrhea was normal, which I had given new symptoms not previously present. My last call to them on Thursday at 11am, the front desk at MedVet was giving me an annoyed tone over the phone and said "if you are uncomfortable with the medications, you can stop giving her and come in for a re-evaluation, but we will put her in the kennel for at least a few hours before our vet is available to check on her. " by that point, I was certain they are incompetent and they couldn't care less for my dog's well-being once they got the money and got us out the door, so I called another emergency vet and told them about the symptoms, they advised us to come in right away, so within an hour we were shown the x-rays showing pancreatitis and colitis and were advised that she needs to be put on IV and hospitalized right away, if I'd listened to MedVet that her diarrhea was normal, I'd have never found out she has pancreatitis. After my dog was hospitalized at the other emergency clinic, I called Medvet again to express my grievance and ask for a refund. The hospital director called me and admitted they didn't provide any after care instructions and refused to give us a refund, and she had the audacity to accuse me that I chose not to bring my dog in which I'd called several times to ask for a professional opinion and the vet told me that it's normal to have diarrhea. I trusted their professional opinion but they misdiagnosed my dog and prescribed $130 pills that may or may not have made her situation worse. read more

They're ok. Professional at first but noticeable change in energy after we declined further treatment in order to see our primary vet.

If you have an emergency they will assist you. If you have a small ailment, like my pup had kennel cough, you will have to wait over 2 hours. I would recommend calling ahead to anticipate the wait time! The doctors were incredibly kind and patient and the nurses helped ease my anxiety about my dogs well-being! read more

I assumed care of a foster husky pup named 'Shelly' who was surrendered by her original family was was not doing well in the SJ animal shelter. She had an injured leg and needed surgery asap. MedVet, Mt. View is contracted with the foster organization I help through (Bay Area Siberian Husky) and they were able to schedule her surgery within a week of me receiving her. Every single time I've been in this office the entire staff has been nothing but wonderful. From the initial surgical consult, to her surgery, & her post op care. The doctors, vet techs, receptionists and everyone I have interacted with have been nothing but wonderful. Helpful, kind, sincere, compassionate, knowledgeable, and loving. They really have a great team of people ! read more

Highly recommend MedVet, our puppy name Ziggy was experiencing diarrhea and being that it was the 4th day we decided we needed to get him to a Vet ASAP, I had called several other places and the wait was over 4 hours for him to be seen, my cousin then recommended MedVet, the outstanding customer services is beyond great, Dr. was very informative and the ladies were super sweet, even when calling them to ask additional questions they were very supportive and understanding. This is definitely my go to place in case of an emergency with my puppy. read more

Even one star is too much for them. We took our dog there earlier today with blood diarrhea and foam vomiting. A dog with these symptoms going on for a day or two can literally die. They didn't diagnose his situation as an emergency and after 2 hours back and fourth they said he has to go home and come back tomorrow. Even though, they themselves witnessed his diarrhea being full of blood. I begged them that I know my dog is not good, their response: sorry, we are busy!! We took our dog to another hospital immediately, and he has been hospitalized since and has to stay on IV over night at the hospital until the results of his tests come back. read more

My Boston want feeling well. I was frantic looking for a vet to see him ASAP. Thank god for this place. They took us in quickly. They are all very very friendly. Dr. Monica Got us in and out in less than 30 minutes with meds and tons of information. My Boston is doing so much better today. Thank you. Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I were on vacation when our son called that he suspected our dog, Momo, had an ear problem. It was Sunday, and our usual vet was closed, so he called MedVet and spoke with Dr. Todd Kelman who saw Momo quickly and diagnosed and treated ear infections in both ears. One major issue is that Momo had serious problems with certain anesthetics in the past. Dr Kelman worked with us and our son as he went though Momo's medical history to identify the anesthetics that had caused problems. After sedating and treating Momo's ears, she woke up without any problems and even had good energy to jump back into the car. Our son brought Momo home and had complete follow on medications and instructions. We thank Dr. Kelman for his competence and caring. read more

This place is amazing. My dogs got into chocolate while I was at work. I brought them in at 1:00 am and immediately felt comfortable with the staff and doctor. They gave me options and really helped with cost and did not try to upcharge or order tests they may not need. My bill ended up being less expensive than they told me originally which never happens anywhere. Everyone was so sweet and caring. Definitely recommend!! read more

I cannot recommend the doctors and staff at MetVet enough! We had to bring in our 2-year-old doodle to the ER after she accidentally swallowed a tiny rubber ball at the park. it became pretty quickly clear that she needed an endoscopy, and Dr. Chan walked us through all the expectations on the phone beforehand. We expressed how much we'd want to avoid surgery, but understood that if the endoscopy was not successful, we'd have to go the surgery route. Although the doctor was only supposed to try the endoscopy for 40 minutes before moving on to surgery, she and the staff (as many as 10 of them at one time to attend to our pup!) tried tirelessly for TWO HOURS until they were finally to get the slippery ball out without resorting to surgery. They also did not overcharge us for the extra time than the estimate they provided us beforehand. Our dog came home the same night with only a mild stomach upset and was back to her happy and normal self within 2 days. We are very grateful for Dr. Chan and the staff for providing such patient and excellent care in this accident. It is very clear that they love animals and would try the least disruptive treatment as much as possible. I definitely hope we don't have any more ER visits in the future, but if we do, we'll definitely choose MedVet again! read more

This place is literally hell. If you can avoid going here, do it. Find a real veterinarian and use another animal hospital. They will "try" multiple expensive surgeries to no avail, only to "miraculously" discover a terminal illness once they've taken tens of thousands of dollars from you. A rip off, a scam, a sham, worst vet ever. Hope this review saves a few pets lives since this horrible place couldn't save ours. read more

I highly recommend the Internist, Dr. Sparago at MedVet. One of my 3 dogs, Bell, has had a variety of concerning symptoms (vomiting, increased peeing, losing weight, etc) and after thorough but inconclusive testing brought up more concerns, our regular vet recommended seeing an internist. Anyone who has been in this situation with a pet knows that it is very stressful and very expensive. If only we all had unlimited funds to go down every avenue to figure out what is going on with our pets. Dr. Sparago was extremely thorough in looking over the tests that had already been done, and was patient and clear in his explanations about next steps to try to get to the bottom of Bell's issues. He also was understanding that I could not afford doing every suggested test during our initial visit and helped me figure out what the most pressing concerns were. When Bell began displaying new symptoms (a UTI) the day after we had done all her testing, he was very caring and helpful when he called me back to both go over her lab work and his recommendations for next steps. I live about 45 minutes away from this clinic and he promptly got the records to her regular vet so she could use them for important information needed to treat her. This was all very appreciated, as I was pretty distraught about her UTI discomfort and the high blood pressure that was also discovered during her tests at MedVet. I am grateful for Dr. Sparago's care, thoroughly and thoughtful problem solving approach for the whole situation which isn't yet fully figured out, and his complete willingness to get information to her regular vet. If you have an animal with concerning health issues that require a specialist, I highly recommend MedVet and Dr. Sparago. It is so stressful to have a pet not doing well and it means so much to have caring and very competent doctors helping you along the way. read more

I just went to MedVet this week with a friend with a deathly ill cat. Julia who was on the phone and when we got there, was amazingly compassionate and patient. Dr Gail? was wonderful as well.

Very clean, organized place and friendly staff. Our 2 month old kitten was having eye problems. This place has referred us to a great eye specialist clinic and MedVEt was able to send pics to the other clinic and explain the situation.Staff were very friendly and helpful. They were very gentle with our Bella. They gave her so much love and attention. Definitely recommend. Wait time wasn't bad at all. read more

With COVID, I understand wait times have been longer than usual. However, the information provided by the representatives was very unprofessional. When we asked them when it was our turn, they responded " I have no idea." We waited from 11AM-1:30 PM in the parking lot, even though we had requested an emergency visit for our pet. After 2 and half hours of waiting, we finally gave up. read more

I was really disappointed with the service. My dog needed help over the weekend with a horrible eye infection/allergic reaction. They examined her and called me telling me she needed drops,l but refused to put in her first dose. I dropped her off at 11:20am and didn't get the call that she was seen until 4pm, which I understand since it was the weekend, but then at least give her the first dose of medication so she doesn't suffer until she is picked up - pretty basic. read more

MedVet took our dog on a Sunday, given that our regular vet clinic was closed. They took us in, in a timely manner and professional manner. However, they performed an enema, because our dog had not gone #2 since his surgery the previous Wednesday, and didn't flag that the dog may continue to leak feces for a couple days. I just wish we had known the risk in advance. Edited once sleep deprivation and anxiety from caring from dog wore off. read more

We brought our dog Mighty on 12/16 because he was feeling so sick. There was a shortage of vet around town and we had a hard time securing an appt . Even his regular vet left the practice this year. Finally I gave an appt here at 1am on a rainy night. The staff and the doctor helped Mighty and gave him some antibiotic. Even though I couldn't go into the clinic with Mighty, I could tell he was treated with compassion and love. Dr. Pfizer called a few days later to check on Mighty and gave a good summary of the diagnostic report for me to take to the vet I will see on Monday. This place was good and the vet and staff were very kind. I would recommend people to come here for Emergecy care. read more

Again, I was not stating that MedVet did not "provide care," instead I was stating as a business, it appears you utilized fear, unscientific medical diagnostics, and a ridiculously overpriced care plan to influence elderly dog owners to spend the maximal amount possible. Similar care could have been given, in a more expedient fashion, at a more reasonable price. I understand it is a business, but taking advantage of scared pet owners, TO THE TUNE OF $8,000 for lumpectomy, is beyond unreasonable. As a human physician, I wouldn't charge these prices out of pocket. Please, unless you/your pet has no other options, go elsewhere. Or at least get a second opinion. read more

We had a very bad experience with MedVet. Waiting time with out pour sick dog was a few hours. We spend 5 hours at this day seating and waiting for the help to our dog, but unfortunately doctor was not able to give us the right diagnosis, and we paid a lot of money for nothing. Looks like all they care only $$$, not clients or pets. I do not want to pay extremely high price for the bad, disorganized, and unprofessional service. I can NOT recommend this place for your pets. read more

My kitty came in for an infection and Dr H did small surgery and said to return to remove the drain. She also circled in red this info on discharge paperwork. The incision looked properly well done but it's shocking especially since they left all traces of blood on his white fur. I'm not complaining about the cost - that was to be expected but for that much money cleaning him up would be little effort for them. Four days later I arrived and Megan said that there is not a drain. The Tech person educated me on what a drain looks like (so that I wouldnt make that mistake again, what?). I asked that they tell powers that be to not make that error again. Both M and Tech were defensive talking over each other and me and said that they would never have a drain for this procedure. I left feeling like they had zero interest in hearing me out and crazy as if I made up drain. Having my paperwork produced a sincere apology from a Dr. Claire who said they had given me a template paper that also included an old email address for the doctor. She sounded genuine - hence the 3 stars. No word from tech, Megan or the doctor who did not put in a drain but told me to come back to take out said drain. That latter is still disturbing. read more

This place is amazing! I've had to bring my inside/outside cat here twice and each time has been nothing short of amazing. It's always worrisome personally taking an outside cat to the vet- while I would love for him to stay only indoors, unfortunately not all cats are happy that way, and they do not judge us or him and even offer help and advice. Both times I had to bring him in because of injuries and I feel like a failed cat mom. But they always assure me I've caught it at a right time and I leave feeling better (so does kitty!). I love that they are open 24/7 now, it brings some peace in my constant worry of what trouble kitty is getting into! They are very committed to being Covid safe and I am thankful to have this resource so close to home for all my pets. read more
