    Ava R.

    I just want to say a big huge thank you to the staff and doctor for caring for my sweet dog Lily. Unfortunately, due to her age (16yrs old) and diagnosis (mass in stomach) it was best for us to put her down. The staff and doctor really cared for my sweet girl till the very end and they let us spend as much time as we wanted with her. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who has a pet. From the front desk to the back office everyone was amazing!!! Thank you guys again so much.

    See all

    I'm sorry to say this is the second time ( in 20 years ) we've had to bring a cat here to be put…read moredown, but they were very good and compassionate about it. 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.

    This is the worst animal hospital we have ever been to. We…read morearrived around 10:00 PM with our dog, Peanut, who had been having bloody diarrhea all night and vomiting blood. 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.

Dr. Sondhi has an incredible bedside manner with pets and a thoughtful, strategic and well informed approach to care. He takes the time to look at the full picture and guide you with clarity and confidence, which means so much as a pet parent. We had a sudden medical emergency with our dog Winnie a couple of weeks ago, and the team got us in immediately. A special thank you to Dr Sondhi and to Dr Rose and Vet Tech Natalia who acted quickly, cared for Winnie with such gentleness, and brought a sense of reassurance during a really scary moment. We will never forget that. Their new office is beautiful, modern, and equipped with top-notch amenities. The front desk team is also so kind and welcoming--it makes every visit feel a little easier. We feel very lucky to have found this team--highly recommend them to any pet parent looking for top notch vet care in the area.

    Our experience with Dr. Shira Horenstein was absolutely terrible and I would not recommend her. She…read moredid not listen to us, spoke down to us like we didn't know anything about our dog or her condition, did not take our dog's treatment history into account, wanted to run a bunch of tests we didn't need or want and was overly aggressive with medications. It felt like she was trying to "run up the bill" with everything she could think of and didn't take into account our dog's prior medical tests, exams and treatments. We wanted an exam and simple blood test which she refused to perform, unless we added a whole slew of "extras". We love our baby, and want the best care while not subjecting her to tests and medications with little value. So if you want to run every possible test without consideration for probabilities and potential treatments, aggressively prescribe medications, have an unlimited budget and like vets who do not listen to you, go see Dr. Horenstein at Rancho Bernardo Pet Hospital!
