South Park Animal Hospital was able to give my soulmate dog, Squishy, a long and happy life…read more At SPAH, Squishy had a major surgery (limb amputation), a couple digestion issues, and a skin cancer that were all treated over the years (I'm sure I'm missing something else... we were there a lot, haha). Squishy did not like going to other vets in the past, but I never got that feeling at SPAH. The thing I appreciate most about SPAH is the staff. Sure, the facilities were new, spacious, and clean; they gave good medical advice and performed smooth surgeries. But the thing that I appreciated the most over the years was the staff really loved Squishy and I felt compassion when I visited. Thank you to all the staff that were a part of Squishy's care. I really felt like Squishy had a great team looking after her.

I can't say enough amazing things about this veterinary clinic. Dr. Johnston, Dr. Wood, and Dr…read more Crawford have all been incredible with both my cat and my dog. I especially want to give a heartfelt shout-out to Dr. Crawford. A few months ago, my cat was very close to crossing the rainbow bridge, and I brought him in for an urgent visit. It was Dr. Crawford's quick thinking, expert decision-making, and calm nature that saved my cat's life. It was an incredibly emotional day, and Dr. Crawford showed so much compassion while guiding me through the best decisions for my cat. He and his staff stayed with me until almost 10 p.m., waiting for the veterinary ambulance to arrive and transport my cat to the hospital. How amazing and sweet of them! Because of their dedication and care, I still have my sweet old man with me today--and he's doing well. I'm forever grateful and thankful to everyone at Soma Animal Hospital!

While it was my partner who brought our dog in twice over the last two weeks, I am very happy with…read morethe work Dr. Rosen has done with our dog! She's young and reactive, especially at the vet or with new strangers. We brought her in with an eye infection and she ended up being so thorough and did much more work on her than we ever initially anticipated in both her appointment and our follow up appointment. She really did everything possible to make her comfortable and worked with my partner to go above and beyond our expectations, she doesn't normally allow more than one vaccine, while there we received two vaccines, blood work, eye drops (her least favorite) and a proper diagnosis and follow up protocol for her hernia we've always been worried about. We're going to prioritize continuing to see her going forward because the care we received was above and beyond. Thank you Dr. Rosen!

I started this week not knowing what was in store for me and my 1-year-old cat, Winston. On…read moreSaturday night, I was just starting to get concerned about his behavior, and SFAMC was upfront about being resource-constrained. This led me to seek immediate care elsewhere. But when his symptoms returned Sunday morning, I called ahead and headed straight to SFAMC. From the moment we walked in, the team's sense of urgency to triage Winston brought tears to my eyes. My first main point of contact kept me informed throughout, and when the issue became clear -- a foreign object in his intestines (!) -- Dr. Adamson presented the options, risks, and likely outcomes clearly and compassionately. Winston underwent surgery with Dr. Mehl, I believe, and I picked him up Tuesday morning, a little groggy, but on the mend. Waiting in the lobby that morning, I watched so many other owners coming and going, some being reunited with their pets. It struck me: this team does this every day. I've lived long enough to know that not every outcome is positive -- but the care, competence, and professionalism I witnessed over those several days was genuinely encouraging. A heartfelt thank you to the entire SFAMC team -- from the front desk to the surgeons. Because of you, our favorite little munchkin is showing his goofy self again at home, where he belongs.

When I'm there in person they're rude and slow. It's unacceptable. It shouldn't take multiple emails to get a follow up.

My partner and I found SF Vet Hospital while looking for dental care for our 11 year old…read moremaltipoo/pom who needed extractions. The estimate matched what we received from another vet but what set SF Vet Hospital apart was the care we received from Dr gill and our vet assistants, Jamie and Joy. There were a lot of emotions as we navigated the cost of 11 extractions and surgery on an 11 year old dog. Dr Gill and his team remained patient with us as we asked questions and discussed all of our options. Jamie talked us through the estimate and gave us a thorough explanation of everything they would be doing. She did not apply pressure and helped us navigate the procedure and related costs with care. We also really appreciated the care we received after the surgery as Dr Gill took us through why he had to remove each tooth and what to expect in recovery. Right after surgery Dr Gill told us our dog would be a different, happier dog in 2 weeks and we didn't think it was possible as he was already an outgoing happy dog. Now, a few months post surgery - it's obvious Dr Gill was right. This surgery has greatly improved Theo's quality of life - he has more energy, plays more, and is overall more cuddly. We are so thankful for the care we ALL received at SF Vet Hospital and will definitely be recommending and continuing to bring our (now toothless) Theo here.

Dr Rajvinder Gill is extremely rude, dismissive, rushed, and cannot communicate properly. I came…read moreprepared with a documented list of symptoms my dog has been experiencing -- submissive urination, persistent retching, reduced appetite, and anxiety-related behaviors. Dr. Gill told me he could only address one concern per visit. ONE. For a dog presenting with multiple interconnected symptoms that had been developing for months. When I asked clarifying questions, I was interrupted and spoken over repeatedly. To make matters worse, Dr. Gill confused coughing and retching multiple times during the appointment -- first telling me my dog wasn't coughing, then prescribing medication for coughing. When I pointed out the contradiction, he became defensive instead of simply clarifying. On top of all this, my dog's bronchitis had been identified at a prior visit at this clinic with zero follow-up plan communicated. When I brought this up, it was deflected entirely. I left the appointment having had to fight for every concern to even be acknowledged, dismissed and rushed. That is not compassionate care. Rajvinder should be ashamed of his unprofessional conduct.

We usually go…read moreup to the emergency vet on Fillmore but the wait is generally hours for non threatening injuries. A friend recommended Urban; we went there and waited ten minutes (!) to be seen. The vet gave us two options; surgery (immediate fix) or letting the ear heal over 14 days with twice daily cleaning and ointment (plus oral antibiotics). We chose the latter and she did beautifully (tho cone of shame wasn't fun). We appreciated his honesty about each option and he didn't push us toward the more expensive surgery (which we would have considered had we felt it was better for her health). Thanks Urban. Glad to know a better emergency vet is stellar for weekend needs.

When the…read moreappointment was finished, we were literally walking out of the exit with the cat and the bag of the fecal sample when the vet offered to throw out the sample for us. We said, "sure, thanks!" but then were charged $16 for "waste disposal"!!!!!!!!!! We were literally, visibly, and clearly walking out with it and obviously had no problem bringing it in.. We would've tossed it in a trash can outside for free had the vet not OFFERED to throw it out with of course no mention of any fee. What a total money grab and ended the visit on a sour note. Not sure if we'll be returning when we were manipulated into a nickel-and-dime situation. Also, the feedback form they email you conveniently doesn't work if you push "Negative Experience". Any text you type is invisible and it doesn't accept a regular formatted phone number.

They were kind, punctual, professional, and exceptionally skilled. Thanks to their thoughtful approach, we were able to complete all of our dog's vaccinations with minimal stress in a convenient setting outside the home, which helped avoid territorial issues. They guided us in choosing medications to keep him calm and followed up afterward to make sure he was doing well. We were very impressed by how confidently and compassionately they handled him. They also took the time to walk us through the risks and benefits of different options, helping us make informed, personalized decisions tailored to our dog's needs. We highly recommend Lotus to anyone looking for a low-stress alternative to a traditional vet visit.
