My Grand Kitty had to go in for surgery yesterday and our family was a nervous wreck even though I have been in the veterinary field for 23 years. "Kyle" and "Stephanie" with Kirkland Foundation were so kind and understanding with our concerns. They made the experience so much better for us. "Sierra" with Palm Bluff was very kind and even sent me pictures of our baby after surgery. I am very thankful for them! Our Kitty is doing great! read more

Dr. Shabazian is a dream to have as a vet. I've had him as my primary for all my beloved fur friends from the start of their lives until the end for well almost 20 years now. The care team is professional and friendly, and will always take care to ensure your pet is well taken care of. read more

This is hands down the best vet I've ever been to, I would recommend it a million times over. Great experience from beginning to end. I won't be going to any other vet except this one. read more

I called for an appointment and was told they haven't taken new patients for the last 1.5 years.

Our pets like their Palm Bluffs Veterinary Hospital Home! Firstly, I cannot believe the negative reviews I saw posted. Shameful. Dr. Gary Shapazian is an affable and knowledgeable Dr. He has no problems with suggesting referrals. He is a person who truly cares for your animals and wants the best outcome for their health and well being. He and his staff go out of their way to help you and answer your questions. The Vet techs are kind and gentle. My Aussie, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and my cat all feel at ease in their presence. Animals are a good judge of character. My pets give Dr. Shapazian and all at Palm Bluffs Veterinary Hospital a 5 STAR rating. read more

If I could triple that star rating, I would! Dr. Gary has the BEST " bedside manner" imaginable! Both he and Dr. Murphy listen to you and address all the concerns you may have, and when you leave , you feel so much better and at ease about your furbaby. There's no " up selling " going on and they only do what's needed and have your pet's health as their #1 priority. Best office in town! read more

Dr. Gary Shahbazian was recommended to me by another Westie lover who happened to jog by me one night while I was walking my dogs. I'm so glad she did! One of my dogs was dying, having a very advanced/severe disease that ultimately killed him. What was stellar at Palm Bluffs was Dr. Shahbazian's constant help, calls and communication. When I arrived, a team the size of a MASH unit descended upon my little dog in distress giving him everything possible to make him comfortable. Dr. Murphy was a Godsend as well and helped Dr. S along the way. Dr. Shahbazian was available to me at a moment's notice. I don't know about you, but when you need help and go to most doctors, good luck trying to get anyone ever to call you back. Not Dr. Shahbazian, he checked in on us at every opportunity. Through no fault of Dr. S or his team, my dog died. I wasn't sure what to do with his body for cremation, so I called Dr. S who took time out of his personal day to meet me on a Sunday just to take my dog's body for me. There are no words how pleased I am with Dr. S and his team. I will be back for my well dogs and every dog in future. Thank you and God Bless to this Team of wonderful people! ~Ms. Ali read more

The staff and Doctors are all awesome. They are so caring and helpful! They also are always able to fit you in on an emergency basis which had not been my experience with other Vets. read more

I would recommend Bluff veterinarian service without reservation. We have five dogs different breeds, two cats, presently, but in the past have had fish, hamsters, rats and more and are picky about whom we trust their lives to, which really is their daily care with your veterinarian. Many our animals are rescues so they all come with their own unique problems. Dr Gary is Well educated, intuitive, very experienced, conservative, but can be aggressivewith needed, he is honest, personable and truly cares and loves animals as if they are his own. Everyone in that office is a team and an amazing highly qualified one at that! Dr, Gary has extended one of our pups lives by 6 years finding and taking out a cancer that was extremely difficult to get to and even more frightening that was aggressive we came in for a yearly exam, always in depth! he found the smallest bump but his knowledge of where how it felt was extremely accurate. He and his surgical staff were acutely careful to get all of the cancer removed from a tricky location. Dr. Gary never makes a fly by night decision always researching and up to date, cautious, to understand the full picture, and carefully thought out. He will give you a full explanation of what is going on with your pet with the deepest respect to both Understanding both the pet and the owner He is conservative doesn't jump into expensive blood tests or surgery's unless absolutely needed. It is not unlike Dr Gary to give you a call a couple times during the week to see if an ill dog is responding to treatment. I probably shouldn't share this, but I've even known him to come in on his Sunday afternoon to see the Pet so that he could analyze in person all that was going on. Most vets would send you to the ER if there was a problem at night or on a weekend. An ER would do expensive bloodwork, they don't know your pets medical history. Dr Gary resolve the problem right away and the pup was back to himself in no time at all. It is without reservation i give my trust to palm bluff veterinarian services, the whole office from staff, to his associate doctor, his surgical team and especially to Dr Gary. read more

Very unhappy with Dr Shahbazian for several reasons. First, he left the roots of two of my dog's teeth in her jaw during a dental surgery. I found this out the next year when I took her to a competent veterinarian the following year. Second, he wanted to charge us over $1000 to remove a cyst. When we sought a second opinion from a competent vet, my dog only needed a fine needle aspiration which cost us less than $100. In addition, Dr Gary Shahbazian allows unvaccinated employees to go without masks during this pandemic when masks are now MANDATED by the state. He is careless. Thank God that we found a competent veterinarian who didn't price gouge us. read more

Do not go here this place is terrible. They will harm your animal. They will take your money that's all really care about. One doctor will say one thing the other doctor will say another. it comes down to money they try to do very expensive procedures, and when they questioned it, they'll give a cheaper option. read more

We have a new hero! After bringing many dogs here and buying lots of dog food as well as medication for close to 20 years, we were told that Dr Gary would not see us if we hadn't seen him in the last year. The once friendly, accommodating, and understanding staff has 90% been replaced by the same kind of people you see everywhere now. It feels like they don't really want to work, they're just doing any job to get money, and they're struggling to even do their jobs, so we're just in the way. That's everywhere now, so can't blame this practice. Even the staff from the old days here gets stressed and drops their customer service skills periodically. We have a dog with some challenges. Dr Murphy (whom we hadn't seen before) was amazing. She got to know our crazy dog and met him on his level. She examined him more thoroughly than any of his last two vets have and we walked out with everything he needed and more. We cannot say enough good things about Dr Murphy. We are very pleased! She is an excellent veterinarian. read more

I had an absolutely dreadful experience with this vet company. From start to finish, it was a nightmare, and I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. The staff at this place are not only rude but shockingly unprofessional. read more

I had desperately been calling around, trying to get him in on a 911 appointment. I was a wreck not knowing what was going on with my fur baby. Not only were they fast and efficient but they were incredibly attentive during my visit. After my visit, I was contacted by Dr. Shahbazian, to follow up on lab results and further instructions. THANK YOU soo much for everything you did for Bentley read more

Palm Bluffs Veterinary - Veterinarians Near Me - Fresno, California

I'm truly baffled by all the stellar reviews on the page. I wonder if the doctor payed for them. I had a lot of friends that swore this place had the best customer service but the receptionist was the worst. I was constantly interrupted and talked down to. The whole time she was ready to move on to other clients. When I got tired of her attitude I tried to talk to someone else and I was sent back to the original receptionist. In all my life I have never been treated with such disrespect. I will be taking my business and my frenchie elsewhere. I suggest anyone reading this review does as well. read more

I can not explain how happy I am that I brought baby here! ALL the receptionists were so sweet and attentive and Dr. Murphy was the sweetest and had so much patience with him. Thank you all for a wonderful initial visit! read more

Very inconsiderate with my niece (white kitten luna) they did not give us medical record papers regarding her procedure and did not even give her a cone to prevent her from licking the site. The receptionist was very rude containing Luna's medical history with ring worms (we asked to be shown where) and she didn't even want to touch her; I know ring worms can be contagious but at least put on gloves and show concerned pet parents especially when you work for a veterinary clinic. Very helpful coworker came along and said she wouldn't mind showing us where the ring worms are. Luna is in questionable shape right now and if things don't end well with her, we'll know it's most likely mistreatment from this clinic. Don't bother with this place. read more

Have always brought my dogs here and they are taken well care of. He is also straight forward and acts in the animal's best interest. Very kind doctor and will always take my animals here. read more

I have known Gary for 40 years. I met him before he opened his own business on Escalon. Yes, back in the day. Follow him where ever he may go. He has helped me with all of my animals throughout the years. Great Guy!!!! I love the staff, they have always been accommodating. I walked in one day with pup that had a ripped off toenail. The staff got me right in and stopped the bleeding right away. Thank you!!!! read more

Great vet that allows you to go into the room with your dog. No wait and friendly service. The costs are reasonable.

Dr. Shahbazian is kind, caring and thorough. He loves animals and has always been compassionate toward my dogs. The staff is also very helpful and sweet. read more

I originally thought I had made an appointment for a different vet but ended up keeping gym appointment because my car needed help and I came back again and switched to them as a vet because they were so friendly. Everyone who works there is very happy and helpful. They take their time to make sure the animal is well taken care of and they listen without being rude. It's a very calm environment. read more

My wife and I have brought our loved pet dog here for years and he's always very helpful and does what is right. Very compassionate read more

The doctor was so helpful. He handled the situation with care, and made sure that our Dog Bud would ok. Recommend 100% :)

Dr. Gary has been our veterinarian for a dozen years at least. He is straight-forward, honest and you can tell he loves the animals he takes care of. His prices are fair and he only tells you about the procedures he feels are necessary. Today ended with the reality that my best friend needed to be euthanized. Dr. Gary gave us alone time to say goodbye and then made my Oakley's passing as gentle, painless and dignified as it could be. I live in Sanger and there is veterinarian a few miles from me which I checked out. I will never do that again. Why change when you have the best there is? read more

I just want to thank the staff member/vet tech that cared for my beloved family dog of 17 yrs. It was 7am on a Sunday morning and I had made the most difficult decision to end my dying girl's suffering. We were greeted with such care and compassion. The entire place was clean and spotless. I held her in my arms and the vet tech was so gentle with her during the entire process. She gave me all the time I needed with her (I was a wreck with all my crying). They also offer Paws of Remembrance, which only takes a few minutes, and was a comfort to take home since I wouldn't be bringing her back home. Thank you so much for your gentle care and kindness to my beloved pet!! I don't know why Yelp has them listed as closed on Sundays, they're open 24/7! read more

Love this veterinary office! They got my cat in ASAP when I needed a rabies shot for him. They also provided a prescription for him without making me take him in when I called because he had worms (eeewww). Very friendly staff and clean facility. read more

Very rude receptionist. Unprofessional place that I've recommended many of my people to. Don't worry, I will be notifying all of them to STAY AWAY. And the place smells like dog sh*t! Not to mention the robbery their services cost. Find a better vet. You won't regret that decision. read more

Used to be a great vet in 18-19 now since they got a new receptionist things have gone to mud. The customer service with these woman is horrendous their tone and attitude puts you into a world of shock. I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt and just see if anything changed and nothing has, countless times has been rude to my girlfriend and even mugged her while in the waiting roomBecause our dog was barking lol you run a vet lady figure that out and quit messing with this mans money. I no longer will be going to them and it's very unfortunate because i liked the doctor a lot! read more

The receptionist was very rude; disgusting establishment. They were no help due to COVID and I just lost my baby boy of 4 years
