    Jae P.

    Dr McEwan and Wang are amazing! I absolutely credit them with giving my dog an extra five years of life. My dog had cancer and they were there for me every step. Even during the pandemic they did not let us down. I had gone to another veterinary place waited over three hours, and when I called the dr and he promised he would never do that to me. And in seven years, he has never done that to me.

    Continuation

    I have brought many animals to this vet over the years, my family has brought many animals, I have recommended them countless times, including $250 in antibiotics just a week ago for a stray. At that appointment, my vet tech was rude and then when cashing out, I was brushed off by the manager so she could continue a little giggle session with someone off to the side, and I was called after leaving to confirm my meds because they thought they gave me the wrong ones. Typically though, the vets are fantastic, the techs are friendly, the front desk is slow but functional. I called to get 3 of my dogs rabies vaccinations. Confirmed cost, booked appointments, was told $20 each. I have to carry my reactive, anxious Malinois, who is twice my size, into my car, drove 35 minutes, took the day off of work. My father drives with the two other dogs 35 minutes and took the morning off of work, just to get this done. I am asked if I have their vaccination records- no, I wasn't informed I needed them. Then I'm told there's a separate exam fee that's going to run the two youngest $22.50 and my senior dog $44.50 on top of the $20 shots. I wasn't informed of this either. I connected with the vet to book the appointments and to confirm the appointments MULTIPLE TIMES and still was not informed of any fee other than the $20. I ask to speak to the manager, she sits there and listens to my frustrations which I do appreciate because I was very angry. Now what I'm thinking is maybe they'll waive the fees considering I wasn't told and now we're looking at more than 135% increase to what I thought I would pay. What I do not appreciate is, as a manager, you assume full responsibility for your staff. You do not get to blame "the new girl" for your negligence in training and find no resolution. And it surely does not fall on me that she wasn't trained properly. If she doesn't feel she can ask questions, it is because she feels unsafe around the staff. If she doesn't know the answer to things yet, she needs to be babysat until she does. Telling me the reason for this negligence was "I spoke to the new girl" doesn't get me my day of PTO back, doesn't give me my $6.50 a gallon gas back, and it doesn't get my dogs the vaccinations they needed. I ask for a card to contact whoever is above the manager, she says "there's no one, I'm the manager." Hey, okay well who signs your paycheck because I need their number. She refused to give me a higher ups contact info. I'm assuming this is privately owned, I want their phone number. Refused.

    I had been to this facility years ago with my daughter's and mine Schnauzer puppies. The staff is great! I now began taking my cat Felix there. I am very happy with the care he received. I will refer my daughter to this location., as she has a new Pug.

    Quick service without an appointment. Dr missed diagnosed my German Shepherd and prescribed him ibuprofen I didn't need BUT OVERALL VERY GLAD IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT REQUIRED SURGERY

    Cute paintings throughout!

    We happened to be taking our pups for their annual shots and check up. Lily had gotten a horrible cough a few days prior. Dr. Harvey was so gentle and thorough with both of our pups. After tests and X-rays the Veterinarian gave Lily some medicine. 2 days now and she's so much better! We love Palmdale Veterinary hospital and staff ( especially Dr.Harvey)

    I was looking for exotic vets in the AV to check up on my bearded dragon Draco. I was asking around many places and they didn't know what fecal test is and they charge a lot for basic check (180$) to weight the dragon and listen to his heartbeat. I was referred to Palmdale Vet. I am totally satisfied with my visit. The dr is very knowledgeable and he makes sure that my dragon's setup and diet are correct. The price is very affordable (under 150$ for basic check and fecal test). Will bring my other 2 bearded dragons to check up soon :)!

    Really like this veterinary group. I've brought both my dogs and my parents' dogs here and never had a bad experience. Dr. Wong is a really nice vet. He was treating my old boy, who unfortunately ended up passing away. He was clear to me about the potential outcomes and didn't try to push any expensive treatments and services, knowing it would likely be futile. Once my dog passed, he sent out a card to us, sharing his condolences, which I thought was lovely and really kind. I've only met Dr. Harvey once, but he also seems nice. Really recommend this establishment. Prices are also very reasonable.

    this was not my first visit to this clinic. I have taken two of my other birds here so I felt comfortable bringing my two new rescue birds. I do regret that now. After leaving the vet, I lost both my birds within a couple of hours. Admittedly one of them did have a respiratory issue which I got antibiotics for, but my other bird was not sick at all. I feel the treatment provided to both caused too much stress and resulted in my babies deaths. This was the first time the avian Vet didn't talk to me about treatment beforehand. I am devastated, saddened and angry. This shouldn't have happened, so I write this review to ask who ever takes their pets there to be vocal if you don't think it's necessary or appropriate. That was my mistake, feeling the vet knew what was best. RIP Cricket and Gracie I miss you

This most recent time, we took our dog in because we couldn't get an appointment at our regular vet. They had the same day regular appointment. Our dogs face had swollen instantly. We weren't sure if it was a snake bite or a bug bite. Or something with salivary gland. First and foremost, the girl at the desk was quite rude. Not the type of person you would want on your front lines of customer service. They did all the proper steps except for not doing a blood smear test to test for venom. The doctor kept saying this is what she thought it was, but she was not doing the test to see if there was venom. She did do an aspiration test. Which had to get sent out so we waited for that. But unlike most vets who would treat that procedure as surgical and shave the area in which they are extracting from. They just chose to stick the needle in and extract. In the meantime, she recommended overnight hospitalization and doing the anti-venom treatment. The anti-venom treatment is not cheap, plus they wanted to charge us almost $1000 to hold her in a facility overnight, where there was no staff. The specific line item for staff was $500. And there was no one there overnight only one check in at midnight. This is robbery. There are really great options in the area, but this is not it. I've learned from one of the other vets in the area that the number one mission for a veterinarian is to be of service. That is not this place. We see so much price gouging from various businesses like this. There are much better options in terms of customer service, fairness of pricing and treatment recommendations, and professionalism. I went and got a second opinion and then saw my regular vet. It's also nice to work with places who will instantly send you the medical paperwork via email and stay in communication with you via text. You don't get that at pet check engine. I do not recommend.

However, I'm really disappointed with how today was handled. My dog was spayed just 22 days ago, and we brought her in due to discharge when she urinates. I assumed this would fall under a recheck, but instead we were charged $75 for the exam (not even the usual $45), and the total visit ended up costing over $200. After already spending over $1,000 on the surgery, this felt excessive and honestly like we were being taken advantage of. Situations like this should be handled with more understanding and consideration--especially when it's related to a recent procedure they performed. To make matters worse, our regular doctor wasn't there (on vacation), and we were seen by a temporary vet, which made the experience feel even less personal. I still appreciate the kindness of the staff, but this experience left a bad impression. It shouldn't feel like it's all about the money, especially when clients are already investing so much in their pet's care.

When I first brought my dog in, the veterinarian--a blonde woman--spent only a couple of minutes examining him before asking me what was wrong. She didn't even notice his hernia, and after listening to his heart with a stethoscope, she never mentioned that he had a heart murmur. I left with no real answers as to why my dog had stopped eating, other than being told he needed surgery immediately, with an estimated cost of over $6,000. Later that same week, I returned because my dog was clearly in pain and I was simply hoping to get him some pain medication. This time I saw a different veterinarian, a man, and the very first thing he said after listening to my dog's heart was, "Your dog has a very significant heart murmur." How is it possible that two veterinarians at the same clinic, only days apart, could have such completely different findings? I was devastated. I was crying, and the staff assured me they would make things right and that someone would contact me to discuss what had happened. No one ever followed up. In the end, I took my dog to a veterinarian in Santa Clarita whom I trust, and I wish I had gone there from the beginning. I will never ever ever return to this place I know my dog would have died in surgery Please please go anywhere else I can't express this enough!!
