Incomplete medical record
Mandy R.

**Update:** Due to Dr. Jones's lies, I've included a copy of the phone record here showing that Dr. Jones did not call us after we left the office that first evening. I spoke to her on the phone before we left and she never called again until the following evening. She continues to lie and change her story multiple times. She claims that posting a review here and at the BBB is "harassing" her. Thats fine. You judge for yourself if this is a woman you want treating your pet. The reviews here all tell a similar story. Do not take your pet here Dr. Jones is unprofessional, irresponsible, and will not be fair in your dealings with her. She's also the only emergency doctor at this clinic and it purports to be open 24/7. They are never busy which should tell you something. I called at about 8:45pm on Dec 20, 2023 when my dog was ill. I had tried several clinics and none could see us. ER4Pets offered to see us if we could be there within 40-60min. We went straight there. My dog, Ellie, was evaluated by Dr. Jones in the back room and I was presented with a treatment plan which included xrays, blood work, a urine test, the administration of a couple of medications, and admittance to the hospital overnight to for surveillance and iv fluids. A total of $1,480. I spoke with Dr. Jones on the phone and she promised to keep me in the loop. I hesitantly left Ellie in her care. Fast forward the next morning, I had heard nothing. I called at 7am and they told me "no news is good news" and couldn't provide any updates about the results of the xrays etc. They advised I come to pick Ellie up as planned at 10am. When I arrived, I asked about the results of the tests. They could provide me NO information. They indicated that Dr. Jones was not in the building (to be fair she did have COVID) and that she had not completed the paperwork and medical records for Ellie so they could not give me any further information. I was frustrated and was simply sent home with a "certificate of bravery" and a can of wet doc food. I insisted that I be sent her medical records and that the doctor call me immediately. I didn't know how to care for Ellie or if I should continue the previous medication given the results of the test. I called another vet clinic who called and requested the vet records so they could help me interpret them. They also couldn't get the records. Finally at 2:34pm I recieved a copy of Ellie's record which included brilliant diagnostic insight such as "xrays revealed ....[blank]", "treated with ....[blank]" (see screenshot). At 7:51pm on the 22nd I sent Dr. Jones an email request a partial refund due to incomplete care. I'm not a medical doctor. I can't interpret the results of bloodwork or look at xrays. The medical record she sent was incomplete. Part of what you pay for when taking your dog to the hospital is the tests, but its also the interpretation of those tests. Dr. Jones failed to provide that. After sending that email, at approximately 9-9:30pm on the 22nd Dr. Jones called me and explained the results. But at this point it was too late - I had already paid another vet to provide a treatment plan for Ellie. To discharge a dog without a medical record is ILLEGAL in the state of California and I fully plan to report her to the board of Veterinary Medicine. I wanted to compromise and pay 50% of the bill. Dr. Jones would admit no wrongdoing and refused to negotiate with me. I explained that I would take this issue up with American Express if she refused to deal with me and I did (and won). In January 2024 she contacted us seeking payment for the bill. We again tried to reason with her and she told us "I do not owe you $740.26." Sure but we also don't owe you $1,480. We paid the bill but are seeking to take this issue up with the medical board in California and have also filed complaints with the BBB and posted the issue to sites like this. I would caution against engaging with Dr. Jones. I found her to be unscrupulous, dishonest, and fully unwilling to acknowledge any mistakes on the part of her and her staff. She clearly has disputes like this frequently. Dr. Jones, I'm sorry its come to this. I'm happy to talk if you would like to discuss this further, you know how to reach me.

We should all have at least one peaceful moment in life that looks like this.

I took my cat here in August 2021. I feel bad that I never left a review until now. She's literally alive because of ER4PETS so thank you to everyone on staff. I should probably thank Hailee Serafin specifically for her work on my cat. It's rare for a female cat to get a urinary infection, and even rare for this condition to go on for weeks. ( without death ) They kept her overnight on an IV for a day or two but once home I was able to feed her the antibiotic she needed every day until better. I appreciate the certificate they give you after the stay.

Bravery certificate
Olivia R.

This place is great! After being turned down by other Emergency places due to capacity, Petsurg took my baby in. He had an issue with his paw which was getting worse by the hours which caused him to whine in pain. They were quick with response and said I was able to come as soon as possible. They examined him and took him in for surgery. The walls are thin, but all you could hear is how sweet and kind they were being with him. They sent us home for a few hours while they were doing the procedure and were quick to let us know when he was done. If we ever have an emergency we will come here! We thank everyone for that night and are so grateful.

Resting at home after the surgery
Ryan S.

So thankful for this place and the people that work here. Our girl had a suspected pyometra and needed emergency surgery. Another ER spot quoted us double what the cost here was and the operation would've had to wait until the next morning. This was a life threatening emergency and I'm glad I didn't feel taken advantage of in this vulnerable situation. Dr. Jones was clear and straight forward with what was going to be needed. We left Xara in her care for the surgery overnight and got her back about 24 hours later. I'd feel confident in bringing any of our babies here again.

Thanks to the dedication of the veterinarians and staff, my dog has recovered and is back to being much better. He was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, and they provided prompt testing and treatment without any wait. The estimate was clear, and everyone on the staff was very kind. They even issued a cute certificate!

Veronika
Sterling M.

We lost our little Veronika due to brain inflammation that just was not stabilized at no fault of this ER or the neurology team at another hospital that we took her to after her night with ER4PETS. I thought the staff and Dr. Jones were very knowledgeable and ready to help try. Veronika did not respond to medicine and passed away a few days later. When we took her back, Dr. Jones did something very touching when she clipped a piece of her cute black hairs from her ear tips and put them in a little vial for us. I didn't ask her to do that and it was really nice. Thanks for trying so hard to help her.

How could you not love this 3rd photo of Gigi and her certificate? CUTIE PATOOTIE!

We drove there at 1am in the rain and had high hopes she would pull through, but the X-ray showed a terminal issue and the outcome was inevitable. We appreciate the compassion and professionalism of the staff, especially so late at night. Would highly recommend. My only complaints: 1) No airflow in the two rooms off to the side. Not so bad if you're only in there for 15 min but after an hour, you have to open the door just to breathe. 2) The TV in the lobby is too loud. The people working the counter can hear YOU through the glass partition, but are not aware that your ears are competing with the TV just to hear what they're saying back at you. Another customer came in just after us with a dog whose eye had popped out of the socket. :-( They also had difficulty hearing anything from the counter staff thanks to that TV. Maybe a nice, quiet video loop of relaxing/calming scenery, flowing water, etc.? I can't hear over David Attenborough's voice and that's saying a lot since he's a fairly soft-spoken guy.

When the staff spoke with us, his response was dismissive and showed no compassion. He even asked if bloody diarrhea was our only concern, despite us clearly explaining how serious her symptoms were. When I described Peanut's symptoms to the front desk staff, she immediately tried to assume it was a seizure, even though that was never part of her symptoms. After 45 minutes of waiting, the staff told us the doctor was ready and asked us to hand over Peanut. We were confused as to why we couldn't be present for the initial exam, but we complied. Another 30 minutes passed, and when we asked for an update, we were told the doctor was with another patient and Peanut was "next." Then Peanut vomited blood again, so she was taken back immediately and again we were told she was next. We waited another hour, and by this time it was 12:30 AM with still no care provided. At that point, we were frustrated and concerned for her safety, so we decided to leave and find another urgent care. We found WAG Animal ER, only 8 minutes away, with the same $100 exam fee and no wait. The difference was night and day. The staff there was kind, compassionate, and professional. Peanut was seen by a doctor within 5 minutes. And the Dr even called us 3 days later to check on her status.

When I came home from work this past Friday, my dog would not stop rubbing her ears and was crying. I knew that I would not make it to her regular vet before closing time and the closest VEG (to my location) was the Mission Valley location so I loaded Molly in my car and we made the short drive to Mission Valley. The VEG Mission Valley location is just across the parking lot from Mimi's Cafe and was super easy to find. We walked in and someone immediately came over to triage Molly before it was the doctor's turn to give her a full exam. Dr. Bronstein was awesome and explained everything in great detail. While I was waiting for Molly's treatment plan, an emergency came in and it was all hands on deck to help the dog out. Everyone ran over to help and not one person working there complained. I could tell that they really care about animals. When the doctor was finished, he came over and apologized for the wait and I said not to worry about it since that was a priority issue. He gave me the treatment plan which I approved and it was just a short amount of time until I got the prescriptions and receipt/medical notes (for insurance) and I was out the door. I would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Bronstein and the staff that helped me this past Friday evening for your kindness and for helping my "little one" out. It meant the world to my wife and I (and Molly too!). I also wanted to thank you for the follow up text message yesterday inquiring about Molly. Your team is the best!

We made the call to VEG and they gave us excellent advice over the phone and the team greeted us at 4am. They were in the best of spirits even though we were a mess and our poor dog was seizing in pain. Dr.Day and the team were absolutely amazing!! They helped us remain calm and made a quick action plan. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful and the staff really makes VEG what it is! Thank you!! Ironically I've spent the past 5 years designing veterinary clinics and specialty hospitals, and the owners had a strong desire to maintain the separation from public facing to the treatment areas. I must say as someone experiencing having a pet emergency, being able to be in the open treatment area was the reason we felt so satisfied with the care. We were visually connected to our baby boy and got to be a part of every step of his treatments. It made us feel at ease, and felt entirely different (in the best way) than we've ever had at other veterinary practices. Design matters and can really make a huge impact- so props to the team for going with the open plan! I hope to see more of this in the future, transparency builds trust. Goodwork VEG!

The front office staff was great in getting us checked in and also making us feel welcome up front. Veronica is also a great asset to the team. She went over pricing with us and was transparent by showing us the pricing on the iPad rather than reading everything to us outloud. Dr. Skinner is probably the best vet we've been to. She's very empathetic, patient, and knowledgeable. She gave us options rather than making us feel obligated to do all of the tests appropriate for our dog's issue. She showed us his X-rays and was very sweet towards our pup. The place is new - just opened up in December. There's drinks and snacks in their waiting room. The facility is extremely clean and modern. I don't live nearby, but this is definitely a place we would turn to if needed.
