    Rescued cat, Midnight, post surgery by Dr. V
    Lisette M.

    I'm very grateful to have found Dr. V years ago. He has helped me save many cats in my community & is our primary vet for my personal pets. When he informed me that he's the new owner of this clinic, I didn't mind commuting the distance to see him. He goes above & beyond to help. He has excellent expertise & customer service. His quality work shows he's passionate about animal welfare. As a pet owner & animal rescuer, I'm very blessed to have met him. I have attached photos of a cat I found in critical condition (malnourished with multiple abscess on her stomach) whom Dr. V did surgery on in order to save her life. She's healthy now & has gotten spayed by him also.

    Pet Pawz-itive & Shanon, the vet tech, really helped me at a horrible time in my life. My 17 year old poodle, Chucky, was ready to go meet his wife, Peaches, at the Rainbow Bridge. One of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. I was not ready to let him go, but he was ready to go. Shannon was AMAZING! Her comforting words and actions made a world of difference. Chucky's wife, Peaches, passed away last year in her sleep at 17 years old. The company I used for her cremation forgot to take a paw print impression. I'm still devastated about it. Shannon made sure I got Chucky's paw print. His ashes and the paw print came surprisingly quickly, about 1 week later. I want to thank the staff, Shannon, and the doctor for making this beautiful & peaceful.

    My pup Benjamin, who is extremely nervous guy got his teeth cleaned at Pet Pawzitive. The doctor and staff were amazing with how they handled him. I highly recommend them for procedures and wellness exams.

    Merlin. My first wheelchair dog over20 years ago who had DM- degenerative myelopathy

    I am 70 years old and have had 3 veterinarians since I was 9 years old. My childhood vet, Dr. Bartlett opened his own hospital when I was in my 20s and worked alone there for many years. As he became older he took Dr. Suman Prabhakar into the practice and when he retired Dr. Bartlett told me to stay with Dr. Suman. For over 30 years from then Dr. Suman was my vet until he recently retired and sold the practice. I never went back. I was alone with my animals and no vet. Every morning for 2 weeks after that when I opened my eyes the tears ran down my face. A friend told me about Pet Pawz-itive and that Dr. Suman's nephew, Dr. Varun Prabhakar, worked there. I did not realize that I had met Dr. Varun some 15 years earlier when Dr. Suman had invited me to an event to hear Dr. Suman sing. At the dinner that night the young nephew sat next to me and was so kind to me. I could not remember his face but I can still feel the kindness from that night. When I went to Pet-Pawz-itive for the first time Dr. Varun treated me with the same kindness he had treated me with some 15 years prior and he remembered me and that night at the dinner. Dr. Varun I learned is the new owner of Pet Pawz-itive. He is a kind, very through vet. He takes his time with you and gives detailed, thorough explanations. I have paralyzed dogs and his uncle and I learned how to handle them together. I have had paralyzed wheelchair dogs for over 20 years. Dr. Varun just like his uncle treats my special needs dog well and with kindness. The staff are wonderful and kind as well. Someone always calls the day after a visit to Pet-Pawz-itive to make sure that the dog is doing well. I am always encouraged to call if there is an issue or if I have any questions or concerns. I will be staying at Pet-Pawz-itive and it is well worth the drive to get there. I have a new veterinary clinic home where my dogs and I are happy and valued. THE OLDER REVIEWS, SOME OF WHICH ARE NEGATIVE, ARE FROM THE TIME THAT PET-PAWZITIVE WAS UNDER PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP. There is absolutely nothing less than goodness, kindness, and wonderful veterinary care from Dr. Varun Prabhakar and the wonderful staff at Pet Pawz-itive I am so grateful for Dr. Varun and for all of the wonderful people at Pet Pawz-itive.

    Waiting to see the Dr!

    I highly recommend this clinic. My puppy had a cryptorchid neuter surgery at around 8 months old,…read morewhich was more complicated than a standard neuter. The surgery went well, and the staff took great care of him throughout the process. Recovery was difficult and took several days because of the nature of the surgery, but the clinic provided everything we needed, including pain medication, antibiotics, and a recovery cone. When I felt my puppy still needed additional pain relief, I returned to the clinic, and they were very helpful and prescribed additional medication without any issues. The staff was kind, professional, and caring. The pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the level of care and support we received. I am very grateful for their help and would definitely recommend this clinic to other pet owners.

Staff were pleasant but quick. Have any questions ready for them (ie antibiotics needed, wound care, etc). This is a non profit organization so our rescue covered the cost of the procedure but we paid for any meds and collar. I believe the cost might be different if you didn't get your pup from a Rescue. **A few days after the surgery, my pups incision started to bleed. Left message on the aftercare vm but got a quick response via text. Was told to come in the next day for recheck and was given antibiotics and 2 staples to secure incision.

Jessica has such a warm, bubbly personality and a way of making both pets and their owners feel comfortable the moment they walk in. She is kind, patient, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. Dr. Vigue is, without a doubt, the best veterinarian I've ever met. My dog adores her, and I trust her completely with the care of my pets. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, honest, and always takes the time to make sure concerns are addressed. What really stands out about Mountain View Pet Hospital is how much everyone genuinely cares about the animals they treat. You can feel it from the moment you walk through the door.

We truly love Dr. Vigue! We've also seen Dr. Jonah who is also very informative, compassionate and thorough. They take incredible care of my two dachshunds, Vinnie and Bruno, and consistently go above and beyond every single time we visit. I recently had both of my dogs neutered there, and the level of care, compassion, and attentiveness they showed throughout the entire process meant the world to me. Kelsey in particular was absolutely amazing. As a very protective dog mom, I was understandably nervous, and I probably called far more than most people would for updates. Kelsey was so patient, kind, and understanding the entire time. She reassured me, kept me informed, and never once made me feel like I was bothering them. That level of patience and genuine compassion is something you don't come across everywhere. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinary team that truly treats your pets like family.

    We found Park animal Hospital in an emergency situation with our dog who needed surgery because she…read moreswallowed a sock. We had gone to the vet that we had been loyal to and although we completely expect a big bill for most things veterinary, there was something wrong with the surgical quote that did not sit right with us. I called my husband and he called Park Animal and I couldn't believe it when Dr Bones actually got on the phone with us! She gave us a ballpark estimate, we would never price shop saving our dog but to be transparent, she did the same exact surgery with the same medications on the original estimate for $2000 less. The hospital is so beautiful and clean and run efficiently. The staff is friendly and they were so concerned and compassionate. We are very grateful to have them as our new veterinarian for our four legged family members!

    I called this office specifically because my dog has frequent seizures and I needed guidance on…read moresafe flea prevention for her. I emphasized her seizure history MULTIPLE times during that call. They recommended NexGard and had me pay $75 for MDR1 testing plus a little over $100 for the medication. The problem: NexGard belongs to the isoxazoline class of flea/tick drugs, which carries an FDA warning against use in dogs with a history of seizures, since it can lower the seizure threshold. This is DIRECTLY on the medication's own label! The MDR1 test also isn't relevant to this risk, it screens for sensitivity to a completely different drug class. I raised my dog's seizures as the whole reason I called, and was still steered toward a medication that's SPECIFICALLY CAUTIONED against for dogs like her. I'm now out nearly $200 with no safe solution for her flea prevention, months later. Would like to see more care taken when a pet's medical history is flagged upfront. I would have rather they told me they do not have a solution for me rather than waste my time and money. I have attached screenshots of the emails that completely ignore my concerns. You can see the time stamps and how long I have tried to be patient and get answers. This has been going on for months. I'm so disappointed because I truly loved this vet before this experience. **An update based on the response below The MDR1 test WAS recommended to me to do before giving Nexgard. I never requested it, so that is untrue. I did call the manufacturer, and they advised against giving her the medication as well. Other vets also said to not give a dog with seizures Nexgard. It seems like everyone, everywhere, is aware of the dangers except your office.

Sadly, I had an issue with the staff and was treated very rudely and it was concerning a mistake they had made in scheduling. When I arrived I was rudely told I didn't have an appointment, but when I went to explain that I did and I even received a confirmation, the receptionist snidely replied that I had to make another appt and it would be two weeks before my dog could be seen! She had a serious infection and I couldn't wait that long, so I left and made an appointment with a local vet that had vacancy. Well, time had passed and I thought I would give Dr. Ron's another chance. When I called to make an appointment, I was told that there was "no service" on my account, because I gave a "negative" yelp review!!!!! I'm not one to normally complain, but I felt I was wronged and wanted to share my experience. Warning, if you complain, Dr. Ron's will deny your pet service!!!!!! So, here's five stars!!!!!! You won, Dr. Rons!

    I didn't realize going to the vet these days is like going to a car dealership. I sought out Dr…read more Ron's services to get a quote on a spay for my kitten, but because they could not give an estimate over the phone I scheduled for a $92 initial appointment. I did think that was quite the cash grab, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. After the initial, the quote I received was around $900 for spay, which I thought was outlandish and simply decided to not return. (Spoiler: I was able to schedule elsewhere for TWO of my kittens for under $600) Anyway, it gets worse. Upon receiving a negative internal review from me, they called me to let me know that they happened to be running a promotion on spays. They also let me know there were some procedures they could probably take off to reduce the price (eg nail clipping). Convenient right? I let them know I already scheduled elsewhere, but I was potentially interested in a neuter. This is where it gets even more interesting. Naturally, they jumped on that possibility and "noticed" I didn't get the discounted initial appointment price for my first kitten because apparently I was supposed to mention she was a new patient. You mean I had to see on your website ahead of time and request the discount, rather than just give it to me because it's obvious it would be a first appointment? Ridiculous. But guess what? They were somehow willing to produce a quote for the neuter despite not having an initial appointment, like they required before for the spay. Not to worry, I went elsewhere, to an actual vet who specializes in cats (not a surgery center/spay neuter clinic) and paid around a quarter of the price for both of my kittens who are happy, healthy, and recovering nicely. TLDR: They're overcharging over here.

The doctor kept my beautiful boy calm and relaxed during the process and was borderline to tears herself. If I had any question of whether she truly cared about the animals she treats, it was eliminated in that moment. The staff made a terrible day better, and I cannot stress enough how grateful I am to them for how they handled this process.
