Our dog had something lodged under his skin that required vet care before it became infected. He'd previously been seen at Bishop Vet Hospital (years ago, though), so we called there first. Their first available appointment was a full week away, and they wanted $125 simply to walk through the door for a same-day "emergency" visit. This wasn't an emergency, but I was offered nothing else. The $125 was in addition to any services they'd actually provide, and I wasn't going for that unless there were absolutely no other choices. So, I called Mtn. View. We got a next day appointment. The women working the front desk were very friendly and helpful. They all seemed like super caring people and like they were really happy to be working there. The vet we saw was Dr. Lequient, who was also very caring. She listened well, considered about our pup's comfort as she examined him, and was very careful in her diagnosis. We liked her a lot. In general, we are interested in holistic animal care, and I don't think there's any place in Bishop that offers that. Dr. Lequient wanted to give our dog a systemic antibiotic for his superficial wound, and we politely declined it. She was OK with that. We took home some cleansing wipes and an antibiotic cream, to be used for 7 - 10 days. The wound healed overnight, so we discontinued usage. The doctor also inquired about vaccinations, which we don't do, but she was pretty accepting of our position. I wouldn't say she's spectacularly holistic, but she seems to respect owners' wishes. Here's the best part: someone from the office called us one or two days later, to check in and see how our dog was doing. Again, nice conversation with someone who really sounded like she cared (and I'm sure she did). I am totally sold on this office! And the little details: we were seen on time; the office is spacious and clean; no one tried to sell us anything. read more

As Sutton gets ready to celebrate her 8th birthday this Friday, I realized what a wonderful opportunity it is to thank the team at Mountain View Animal Hospital. Dr. Chong has been Sutton's veterinarian since she was a tiny puppy, and I truly can't imagine trusting her care to anyone else. Over the past eight years, Dr. Chong and the entire staff have consistently been kind, friendly, prompt, and professional. They always take the time to answer questions, provide excellent care, and genuinely make us feel like Sutton is part of their family. I highly recommend Mountain View Animal Hospital to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable veterinary care. We are so grateful for everything they've done to help keep Sutton happy and healthy over the years! read more

I brought my dog in for a rabies vaccine and after the injection I was given a receipt and that was it. I asked "Is this what I need to show the county?" and I was told that was all I need and sent on my way. I went out to the parking lot and did some research and it turns out I need a "rabies vaccine certificate" So, I go back in and the young tattoo girl at the counter tries blowing smoke up my arse "we don't know what the county requires, if you need a rabies certificate you will have to come back in an hour". I am a nurse, I know how long it takes to fill out a vaccination form. If you are lazy and dishonest you should not be working in customer service. I am surprised the "vet" or whatever did not step in to correct this behavior, she was sitting right next to tattoo girl when she was lying to me.... Shame on tattoo girl and vet tech read more

When you say something is terribly wrong they could take you seriously and see your animal on an emergency basis like you asked for instead of immediately declaring it not being an emergency or taking it upon themselves to "save" you money even though money wasn't a problem. You did not give me a same day appointment you made me wait until the following day and when I called to tell you he was getting worse you still wouldn't see him until 2:40. I had to take him to another vet because it was an emergency. They took him in immediately for surgery and told me afterwards that if I had waited any longer he could have died or his kidneys would be non-functional. My dog almost died due to your negligence and his kidneys might be damaged now. They don't even deserve 1 star. A simple I'm sorry and taking accountability for your mess up would be nice instead of going on the defense because you know you messed up. You told me he had blood in his urine because he needs to be castrated when that wasn't the reason. It was confirmed yesterday during the surgery. You just lost my business and everyone else in my family that used to go to you. read more

Love these folks. Always willing to talk me through issues with my pup and get me in to see them when needed. Highly recommend.

Dr. Chong and her staff are professional and friendly. I really appreciate the time that she are her staff are willing to spend with me and my pups and the extra mile she goes to figure out what the problem is. read more

Great professional place that took good care of our dog. Easy to drop off and pick up going back and forth between LA and the sierras.

My elderly dog had several health issues and suddenly took a turn for the worse. I knew it was time to let her go, but my local vet staff couldn't schedule a euthanasia appointment for five days and delivered that news with little compassion! Neither my dog nor I could wait that long. Two friends recommended that I call Dr. Chong. The receptionist worked hard to fit us in at the end of the day and, when we arrived, I knew we were in good hands. The entire staff was so kind and Dr. Chong ensured that my dog and I were well taken care of during this difficult time. My dog was totally relaxed throughout the process and died peacefully and quickly. Thank you, Dr. Chong and staff. To a person, your kindness and professionalism was incredible and deeply appreciated. read more

We are in town visiting our daughter. Our lab Nala injured her ear, it was sore and swollen. We were concerned and stressed out being away from home with an injured pet. We called the hospital and got an appointment later in the afternoon. Great service at check in and super caring staff. The Dr treated Nala with care and prescribed some meds. The cost was way less than expected. Nala is doing wayyyyyy better today. Definitely recommended and will return if needed in the future! read more

We have been sending our animals to Mountain View to see Dr. Cheryl Chong for a couple of years. She and her staff are professional, kind and compassionate. Unfortunately, not long after bringing my newest edition, Marley, into our family, he took a flying leap off our deck. Needless to say, he broke his leg. Not just an easy break, an avulsion fracture. Dr. Chong gave me options, including doing nothing. However, with a 4 month old puppy, I couldn't bare to let him be lame. So I opted for the surgical repair. Because of the nature of the injury, Dr. Chong brought in an orthopedic surgeon to fix my baby. I am forever grateful that the care Marley received has made all the difference. Marley is a most 9 months old and doing great. We will be seeing the Mountain View staff and Dr. Chong again in a few weeks to neuter Marley. read more

I had the worst experience here. Brought in my cat for a routine blood test,as he had been acting a bit tired and after not allowing me into the treatment room, they brought him out in gasping and obviously in distress. After watching him suffer and fight for his life for 15 minutes I loaded him into my car to try to get him home to help him......an assistant ran after me to demand $300 payment He died in the car on the way home. I miss my boy so much, he was fine until they took him into that room. I called Dr. Chong and she was defensive and dismissive. read more

Our dog Gracie has been under Dr Chong's care for 17 years. She's been there for emergencies that ended up not being emergencies. She was very kind. Is Gracie his aged, she's become sensitive to her diet. With the help of allergy tests, we were able to find something that works. She also has a little arthritis in our lower back, and the laser treatment allow us to continue to take walks and avoid using pain medication. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I'd recommend this team to anybody. read more

The following is based on my personal experience with Mountain View Veterinary Hospital. Our 12 year old Blue Tick Coonhound's rear left leg started to swell, her paw looked like it belonged on a St. Bernard, not a coonhound. The paw all the way to the top of her leg was extremely swollen. We were pretty sure she had cut her leg on rusty barbed wire the week earlier, so that was what we suspected, I am not a Veterinarian. I also informed Dr. Lackey that our canine got Rattlesnake vaccinations every year. Dr.Lackey spent 10 to 15 minutes looking the canine over. FOUND NOTHING. Dr. Lackey stated a Ultrasound would be helpful, but then commented they did not have an ultrasound machine in the office. After not being able to make any type of diagnosis, they sold me an anti-inflammatory prescription and sent me home, "If it did not improve, come back in a week" Dr. Lackey stated. I wondered, if they could not diagnose what was wrong during my visit, what made me think they would know more in a week, Were they going back to school to learn more during this time period? With my canine's health being my top priority, I traveled to West Los Angeles to Overland Veterinary Clinic to see Dr. Schwartz. He truly is THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!! In less than 5 minutes, he stated. "Your dog has been bitten by a RATTLESNAKE". Dr. Schwartz then stated, "You know why your dog is still alive". I know it was because Dr. Schwartz suggested we get the dogs yearly rattlesnake vaccinations years back. I asked D. Schwartz how many rattlesnake bites he sees a year, He stated "one or two". If a Veterinarian who rarely sees a Rattlesnake bite on a dog can easily diagnose this bite within a few minutes, How come Dr. Lackey was not able to do so in the heart of rattlesnake country. I never saw a rattlesnake bite my dog, but according to a blood test Overland Veterinary did, rattlesnake toxins were present. No question, The dog was bitten by a rattlesnake. If you truly love your dog, as I assume you do, I would suggest from my personal experience, TAKE YOUR DOG ELSEWHERE. This is not the only Veterinary Office in Bishop, there are two other veterinary offices, not to mention Mammoth. I requested a refund for my office visit to Mountain View Animal Hospital due to the fact they were unable to correctly diagnose the rattlesnake bite, they refused. read more

I have 5 cats and 2 dogs. Dr. Chong is a superb vet. She has always been very caring and professional while taking care of all of them. In fact, one of my dogs is a Rottweiler and he's always very happy to let her examine him. He loves her and the staff. We used to go to another vet in town and he did not like going there at all. Makes me wonder why? I'm reading the reviews, and I came across some negative comments. I must tell you that you're full of it. You need to go find another vet because you're comments are not welcome. read more

Took my dog to get spayed here and within a day she was her normal self. Healing process was quick and all the staff were very helpful.

My poor Chewbacca's face began swelling excessively due to a root abscess and Dr. Chong immediately solved the problem with a dental. Very excellent service :)) read more

I came here because their services for yearly shots were a bit cheaper than the other vet in town. My dog has been to the other vet a few times and they took him back, did their thing and brought him back to me. My dog is reactive towards people (rescue), but I am a responsible owner and muzzled him before he was seen. He reacted and the vet just kept saying "he really shouldn't act like this." I was crying partially because I had to help hold him down while he was screaming and partially because i felt like a horrible owner. I can't control what happened in my rescue dogs past and I am doing the best I can. Left me feeling really horrible. The front desk was nice though. Edit: the vet continued to email and call me and gaslight me into feeling like I was a bad owner. In a follow up email she gave an apology toward the end but claimed I "plopped him on the exam table immediately and stepped away" which is not even the reality of what happened. The emails were extremely unprofessional and only further made me feel worse from this experience. read more

Dr Chong and her staff are the best! it's so great to take my fur babies in and know that they care for them!

We've been going to Dr Chong for over 5 years. I just wanted to Thank her and the staff for taking care of our dogs over the years. I recently brought our dog Harley in with foxtails deep in his paw and she saw him right away and did exploratory surgery the next day and he is back to his old self. Thank you so much. read more

Dr. Chong met my Typical Addisons dog and instantly agreed she should be on a daily medication, not just a high dose of a monthly injection. She's very professional and knows Adogs have high stress and need to be in and out of the vets office quickly. She also informed me we should lower the monthly injection to not over medicate my dog and save us a little money. She's wonderful. Other vets in town, wanted to keep my dog at the high dose (based off weight) but this caused her to blow up like a blimp, and was peeing herself in her sleep. This high dose also cost us a little under 250$ a month. Dr. Chong is wonderful and my Adog is doing so much better with her medical treatment plan. I RECOMMEND ALL ADDISONS DOGS GO HERE! read more

Had a great experience bringing in my dog for daytime boarding. Staff was very pleasant.

Nice, friendly staff! Always a pleasurable experience! We took our boy, Buick Wildcat, in for a check up as he was having seizures closer together. Worried about side effects and symptoms that accompany medications, specifically Phenobarbital, we followed Dr. Chong's recommendation for Buick. Three month into his meds he's doing much better! read more

Great customer service. I called with no appointment and my dog was also a new patient. They had me come in right away. I was shocked at how clean and big this place was. They also had a great selection of food and treats. My dog seemed very happy with the treatment he received and the prices were average (reasonable). I am very glad I went here and will be a return customer. read more

This place is amazing!! Our dog had a wound on his leg while we were traveling thru HWY 395. We were worried since it looked like a tick burrowed thru his skin. We were trying to call different vets on our way home. Long story short, we were lucky enough to stop by Mountain View. They we're courteous over the phone, and even better in person! The doc looked at our dog, Monte, and gave us the best news that it wasn't a tick bite, just a superficial wound. Facility was clean and spacious too! I wish they were our vet at home! I highly recommend this place! read more

Took my kitty Maggie in after what seemed like a fight with another cat. The place is spotless and welcoming, which is why I prefer coming here. The staff were incredibly nice and caring with Maggie, even though he was clearly nervous and fussy. Cheryl Chong is very sweet and kind and makes everything easy to understand. My cat and I were in and out within 20-35 minutes, and I was pleasantly surprised with the bill as well. A few days later, his "war wound" is definitely looking so much better than when I took him in. We've "shopped" around at the vets in this area, but we're definitely settling on MVAH as his go-to now. Thanks so much! read more

I took my husky in to get multiple shots very close to each other. Obviously his second time in, he was very apprehensive and hiding in the corner. Dr. Cheryl Chong was great with him and made him feel at ease before giving him his final shot. She was very personable and introduced herself when we walked in. The facility itself was clean and had a variety of healthy treats. I definitely recommend! read more
