*First time review, not about vet services but customer service* I showed up here to book an appointment for my kitten who had a bump on her nose. I panicked despite taking her to my local vet (he told me to wait 2 weeks for the antibiotics to work before I do anything else). Long story short, I did end up pushing my appt out to wait, but with all my anxiety and pushing my appt out, the staff at Sage were very nice. They were understanding and I ended up cancelling all together because my vet was right, her bump did go away! 4 stars as they're quite expensive. A consultation just to see a doctor would have been $384 and they take a deposit of $96. I can see charging a lot for emergency but not a scheduled visit a week out. Anywho, luckily my sweetheart got better and I didn't have to take her in. Overall decent experience with their team. read more

Our experience with this clinic has been extremely disappointing. Dr. Ryan Garcia diagnosed our dog with a lifelong condition that requires ongoing medication. After recently moving out of state, we realized our dog's medication was almost out and contacted the clinic for a refill. Instead of helping, we were told they "could not" refill the prescription because we now live out of state. This made no sense to us, especially since we were able to refill other prescriptions through our in state Costco without issue. We were then told our dog would need to come in for another visit before they would authorize anything, despite it not even being a full year since his last appointment. At that point, it honestly felt less about the health and well-being of our pet and more about forcing another office visit and collecting more money. What made the situation even worse was the way we were treated during the interaction. Jessica, Dr. Garcia's head nurse, was rude and spoke to us in a very condescending manner throughout the conversation. Instead of showing empathy or professionalism, she made the entire experience feel hostile and uncomfortable during an already stressful situation involving our dog's medication. When you are dealing with a pet that depends on medication, the last thing you expect is to feel dismissed and pressured financially. We trusted this clinic with our dog's care, but this experience completely changed our opinion. I would not recommend this clinic to anyone looking for compassionate or patient-focused veterinary care. read more

3 stars because the vets are incredibly talented and will do every single thing to help your pet. They will not give up on your pet. Their vet staff is so loving and caring. The front desk however, may be getting a bonus for getting you to put your pet down instead of opting for emergency surgery. It seemed like the front desk woman reeeeaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy wanted us to euthanize our dog. Almost like she was invested in putting our dog down. But then 10 min later we went in the back where he was on oxygen and he was doing way better. Surgery was successful and dog is doing great. Thank you Sage Cardiology. People, do not listen to the front desk!!!! if you can afford it ALWAYS opt for emergency treatment. Always always always!! Their intake team are NOT veterinarians and their job is to give you the worst possible expectations so nothing can come back to them if the unfortunate thing happens and your pet passes away. They don't want you to come back and say "you said XYZ". The intake team is for company protection, not doing the best for YOUR pet. Do not let them sway you. read more

We always love SAGE! We know we can trust them. After a horrific night at VEG in San Jose, we were devastated with the quality of care received and our poor baby was still declining so we brought her in to SAGE. We only had time to eat and shower before bringing her from one clinic to the next. They immediately triaged us, they began a plan as soon as possible, and within an hour, our sweet baby was admitted. Thank goodness for the team and the doctor! From the minute she saw our Bella, she knew something was wrong because she was in and out of consciousness. Very observant of how Bella came in versus how she was displaying signs in the room. The doctor showed so much care and empathy. Which in itself, just goes a long way. We couldn't be more thankful for this team and the doctor!! Thank you for bringing our Bella back and saving her life!!! We will always trust SAGE. I'll admit, the cost is not easy to digest but it's worth it for a peace of mind to know your pet is taken care of. read more

Private equity owned, (JAB Investors) so very expensive and high mark up on resale (meds and such). Reception staff are RUDE and kind of nasty to deal with, management allows it or models this behavior for them, because it has been like this for years. Doctors and nurses tend to be good. Starting rate for any appointment is in the $300 range, starting point emergency is in the $3,000 range. We are all stuck and have to ER, specialty care somewhere, which stinks. read more

SAGE has been our go-to place for years for emergencies and when our regular vet is out of their comfort zone. During this last visit, I was fortunate enough to get the best doctor ever, Dr. LeeAnne Jain. After two failed (and traumatic) attempts to remove a foxtail from our dog's foot and an infection that just wouldn't stop, our vet recommended we go to SAGE since they have better imaging equipment and because my dog might require surgical removal. I immediately drove over to SAGE. After waiting about three hours, we were finally seen by Dr. Jain, the kindest and most caring vet ever. After a visual inspection and a quick ultrasound, she was convinced that she had located the culprit and could get it out under light sedation via a small incision. And indeed, she was able to get the foxtail out. Now, after about a week of meds, the wound is pretty much gone, and the only evidence of any procedures is a slight bump and shaved paw where the incision was made. I'm so thankful to Dr. Jain and Nurses Janette and Blue for their empathy and for taking such good care of Oakley. You are the best! read more

We are so grateful to SAGE Veterinary Centers - Campbell for the incredible care they gave our dog, Cypress. He underwent a major surgery, and the surgical team was absolutely amazing--skilled, compassionate, and so reassuring throughout the entire process.

UPDATED 12/22/2025 This is a difficult review for me to write, albeit a very positive one for Sage. My 10-year old Labradoodle was diagnosed by SAGE (Campbell) in early November 2025 with Hemangiosarcoma (HSA), a very aggressive form of cancer of the blood vessels that often attacks Labrador retrievers (and mixes). The diagnosis was a shock as there was no warning, and the prognosis for this type of cancer is very bleak. I opted to have SAGE perform surgery to remove my dog's spleen and a very large ruptured tumor, understanding that given the type cancer he had, I might only be buying him weeks or months. They did a great job and he was literally himself within a week, with his surgical wound healing rapidly. He then underwent three rounds of chemo at SAGE with manageable side effects, but ultimately succumbed 48 days later when a second tumor quickly grew and ruptured. But I regret nothing because, although I only gained another 7 weeks with my dog, it was worth it, and we made the most of the time we had. He was healthy and happy for the majority of that time, thanks to SAGE. This type of difficult situation, to me at least, really distinguishes great from mediocre pet hospitals, and SAGE is great. At every step of the process, from the initial diagnosis and difficult decision (whether or not to have surgery), to continued treatment, SAGE was compassionate but entirely honest. His oncologist, Dr. Regan, was there for him every step of the way, including being there when he passed. Having such great people at SAGE like Dr. Regan really helped me get through an otherwise unbearable situation. Before this review, I used SAGE primarily as an occasional emergency vet, but I should have realized that it's also an excellent general purpose vet. I am still mourning my pet's loss, which is devastating, but I am grateful for the care and attention he got from SAGE. but if I were ever to get another pup, I will definitely use SAGE for all or his/her vet needs. read more

The best Vet clinic I have ever been to. From checking in, talking to the vet tech, and the vet. I brought my dog because she had a spine injury. They were able to tell me that my dog's injury wasn't a stroke and she should recover. I had plenty of questions and they were patient and answered everything. Currently my dog can walk again and is better now! read more

There are a ton of positive reviews.I will add mine. RVT, Paul and DVM , Johanne Lu took care of a puncture wounds on my cat's front leg. In the front office, Client Service Coordinators, Barbara, and Christine were efficient and compassionate. Paul and Joanne were great in their knowledge as well as deeply caring attention. My primary care Vet has referred me in the past to Sage for emergency care so I go directly there when there is a chance that my cats might need imaging or special tests. Top notch care. I am a retired ICU registered nurse and know how to evaluate good medical care. This facility is excellent. I will keep bringing my pets here whenever I need emergency care. read more

HORRIBLE PLACE APRIL 27 , 2026 5:40 PM who's in the front office right now he won't give me an update on my dog and I just spent $5800 my second time now coming to this place and she can't tell me what's going on with my dog. She refuses to tell me because I'm not on the contact list. That's great. I'm at work right now. This is my dog. What a horrible place. read more

Last week, I had to bring my wiener dog in for an emergency. Just a few days after his annual dental cleaning, one of his eyes became swollen. Within a matter of hours, it got so bad that I had no choice but to rush him to the emergency vet. When you call an emergency hospital and they tell you to come right away, you'd expect to be seen promptly--not to sit in the waiting room for another 4-6 hours. This, in my opinion, is one of the biggest flaws with emergency vet hospitals. They likely know if you're still hours away from being seen, but they tell you to come immediately regardless. In my case, I had to watch my dog's face continue to swell and even bleed for another five hours before, near midnight, I pushed for him to be seen. I even called two other hospitals in hopes of finding faster care. He was eventually prescribed medication for cellulitis of the eye tissue. While it's still unclear exactly how or why it developed, his condition has improved dramatically over the last few days and is now almost back to normal. Waiting for hours at an emergency vet is frustrating enough, but watching your pet suffer needlessly during that time makes the experience far worse. read more

I want to say that for an emergency clinic, it's a better experience than I thought. I do appreciate that they provide some snacks and coffee for patrons as you are expected to wait longer than usual. At night it's mostly quiet with a small team, so it's harder to get seen immediately. In the day time, more people are on staff so they're able to process people faster. The staff seem like they truly do enjoy their work and I really appreciate the level of care and concern they seem to share for all of the animals. read more

This review is specifically for the oncology department at SAGE Campbell. My experience with Dr. Kiselowe and team was amazing. They treated my dog with so much love and care. He was always happy to go to his appointments and was happy when I picked him up after treatment. I trusted the vet's expertise and appreciated his kind manner with my dog and with me. This team made my dog's last few years wonderful and I'm so grateful we opted for treatment with them. As for reviews of the ER dept., yes it's always a long wait when going in for emergencies. But the ER doctor I met with was honest and professional. read more

Our dog was suddenly losing his balance, but was still able to walk fairly well. We rushed him to Sage ER (recommended by our vet since they have neurologists here if needed). We waited in the lobby and were seen 4 hours later. From the time we arrived to the time we were seen, he basically lost all mobility in his back legs and was declining sharply. The ER vet stated that they couldn't do anything and to bring him back on Monday since they don't have a neurologist in until Monday (and we still may not even be seen). We went home and basically broke down because we didn't how to help our dog and he couldn't go to the bathroom at all. We ended up finding UCD hospital which was open on weekends. Thankfully, we showed up and they admitted us. They stated that the chances of my dog walking again would've dropped from 90% to 50% if we waited until Monday since he declined so quickly and was bordering stage 5 IVDD (in just one day). It's shocking how few neuro vets there are staffed in the Bay Area. I was shocked to learn that it's rare to have a fully staffed neurologist and appointments can take weeks and months since it's such a time sensitive condition. I'm also disappointed that the ER vet at Sage didn't urgently tell me how critical my dog's condition was and tell me what my options were outside of Sage. Overall though, I highly have to praise the receptionist staff and the nurses/vets that do the intake and advice. They're all so incredibly sweet and helpful. Huge huge shoutout to Kendra for reassuring me everything will be ok and providing comfort when I was so lost and had a mental breakdown. I cannot thank her enough for showing me compassion during this extremely traumatic time. Sage is so incredibly lucky to have her. read more

The wait can be long. We checked in around 8:30pm on Sunday and were seen around 3:00 am. But, I'm so grateful to have an emergency vet open 24/7 that's close by. We were concerned that our Pomeranian was dehydrated. After assessing him, he got fluids, antibiotics and we had his bloodwork done. The results of the bloodwork revealed some info about a lack of Albumin so we'll be doing an ultrasound through our primary vet to learn more. So glad we are now armed with info the figure out what the root cause of our pup's discomfort could be. read more

Sage is a money pit. you for your last penny with a caring face. they're extremely expensive and force it you. I had a with a surgeon what I paid $130 and I knew exactly what the procedure will be like but they forced me again to come and talk to another doctor so they can squeeze another consultation fee. This was during the Covid. Today I paid $2200 for supportive care which is catheter and injecting and some pain medication. And now they're telling me pay $3000-$5000 for overnight hospitalization just for us to monitor. The doctors and the care team are great but it's designed to drain your pocket. read more

I don't like this place for two reasons. One is the lighting is too dark inside. Secondly, the music they play does not fit the context. We are all stressful because this is emergency. I want some soothing/calming music for both myself and dogs. It is NOT a party time! read more

We have had to bring our cats here a few times over the last couple of years and have had nothing but positive experiences from Sage Campbell! They are so understanding, thorough, and communicate so well with owners, even when they are completely slammed busy.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sincerely, Sara H., Pinto Bean, and Skylar read more

We switched over to Dr. Regan after reaching out to her for a second opinion. She was recommended to us by a family friend and several vets seemed to speak highly of her. I thought she was kind enough and her bedside manner was fine, but there was a general lack of communication and warmth to our overall experience with her. We only saw her a couple of times before our dog had to be euthanized at Sage (more on that below). Most of the communication we had was through her vet techs/nurses, which I understand is pretty normal and expected. However, even when we requested to speak to her privately in a room, she never granted that request and would just speak to us in the waiting room. I don't think it's very kind to be told your dog's cancer is progressing while surrounded by strangers in a quiet waiting room. Towards the end, I also felt like Dr. Regan was giving up on my dog because she didn't give us any other alternatives or directions. Our family friend also felt like Dr. Regan gave up on her dog towards the end too. Earlier this month, my dog ended up having an emergency due to complications with his cancer. I rushed him to Sage, which I now regret. They triaged him fairly quickly, which I do appreciate. However, the ER vet assigned to us, Dr. Oberoi, seemed inexperienced and young. She, along with the nurse that came in to go over billing with us, could work on her bedside manner. I felt like Dr. Oberoi was very clearly steering us towards euthanasia. In regards to my pet's issue, it just seemed rather inconclusive. I just wish there was someone there, like an oncologist, who could have provided their expertise on the situation. Instead, we felt pressured to put our dog down because of an issue Dr. Oberoi "thinks" he had. They took us to a "quiet room" so we could say our goodbyes to our dog. This was the worst part of the entire experience. This "quiet room" is hardly quiet. It is located literally right next to the waiting room. The ENTIRE waiting room can hear you cry and sob. It is the worst feeling in the world to go through the tragedy of saying goodbye to your pet to then walk out to all of the stares from people in the waiting room because they heard the entire breakdown. After all of this, Dr. Regan has not reached out. The entire experience of dealing with canine cancer and losing your dog to cancer was incredibly cold. A social worker from Sage did reach out about a week later to see how I was doing, which was nice. In terms of oncology, I cannot say that I recommend Sage. Perhaps if your dog has a very treatable cancer, you might have luck and Dr. Regan won't give up on you. In terms of ER, it was an even worse experience. I've been to MedVet Mt. View before and although their triaging took longer, I felt like the ER vet was much clearer and confident, even though she was also young. I suppose it is just a toss up of what ER vet you get at any vet hospital. However, I would absolutely avoid euthanizing your pet here at Sage if you can. read more

SAGE = one who has wisdom, judgment, and experience (dictionary.com). My roommate has been licensed to diagnose, treat and prescribe. An accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of any kind of medicine. Four separate veterinary hospitals located in a city southeast of us employ uncaring veterinarians who failed to do their job. For months, our pet suffered with a lot of distress which was worsened by the neglectfulness, incompetency and malpractice with providing any kind of diagnosis whatsoever by several professionals in those other hospitals. Without Sage knowing our backgrounds or having immediate access to any medical records, we observed their efficiency and effectiveness in providing an impeccable assessment, instant diagnosis, exemplary intervention and plan which saved our pet from further anguish. Sage provided us with outstanding service by EXCELLENT and CARING Veterinarians, Specialists & supporting staff. The quality of care and service is UNMATCHED! We are truly grateful and sincerely appreciative to ALL of the staff especially, M.G., Danielle, Roya, Elana & Martiza. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to ALL of them. If anyone wants their pet to have a second opinion, be followed up for a chronic illness, receive urgent/ emergency services and so much more, Sage is your go to place. Sage supersedes ALL OF THE REST! We completely trust and without reservation highly recommend Sage over ANYONE else!!! read more

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is devastating, and we expected empathy and compassion during such an unbearable moment. Sadly, that was not our experience. After making a careful, informed end-of-life decision, we were met with second-guessing instead of support. Blancia questioned our decision in a way that felt judgmental and deeply inappropriate given the circumstances. In a moment when families are grieving and vulnerable, this lack of sensitivity only adds unnecessary pain. An animal hospital should prioritize dignity, respect, and emotional care during euthanasia. Unfortunately, the interaction with Blancia overshadowed what should have been a peaceful goodbye. This experience will stay with us for the wrong reasons. I sincerely hope the hospital addresses how staff communicate with pet owners during end-of-life care so no one else has to endure this added distress. read more

**If you can't afford pet health insurance then please do not get a pet** One morning Peppermint started pacing back and forth to each litter box (2) trying to pee but no signs of pee for 30 min but only a little tiny bit. Her regular vet had no availability until the next day so I took her to Sage ER (I always take my cats here for emergencies). It was about 7:45am on a Thursday and thank goodness it wasn't super busy. I agreed to the possible bill which is $$$$ expensive but this is why pet owners should invest in pet insurance (full benefits - MetLife 95% money back). Our furbabies (pets) are children and require health benefits. Back to the story, her bladder was empty so they gave her fluid, took some urine for a urinalysis with culture (growing bacteria takes 3-5 days) and the 1st test results will be ready in 24hrs. In the meantime they prescribed a painkiller Gabapentin (caused her some constipation). Friday, Dr. Krentz told me that she has UTI (bacteria, blood and white blood cells found in sample) and prescribed a common type antibiotics (7 days) until the urine culture results are complete to understand the type of bacteria (ended up being ecoli) is the cause of her UTI and if the treatment needs to change. Today is Monday (day 3 of antibiotics) and she is feeling much better, not exactly herself but about 80% normal Peppermint. The antibiotic amoxicillin/clavulanate did loosen up her stool but it may also be because I added pumpkin to her diet since the painkillers caused constipation. Btw, I called Sage for advice to lower and eventually stopped the painkillers because she is normally on the constipated side + her personality changed :( . Plus, besides the pacing, she wasn't showing extreme pain. Sage was great when I would call for a concern. If the phones are backed up they do provide a call back, after all they are super busy and there is a shortage of veterinarians. Statistically there will be less veterinarians in the future, we need more doctors for our pets. Forgot to mention that facilities is super clean. Big thanks to Sage ER and Dr. Krentz for always being there for my kitties. The past 2 times Peppermint (for this review) and Atari. read more

Updating: Unfortunately had to bring our dog back a week ago. Still received the same excellent care from Dr. Krentz, and this time Alex. Our pup fainted but again looked well enough to not need interventions by the time we arrived at the ER. Sage Campbell did a chest xray and it showed the complete opposite of how she's behaving. She again had congestion so had to stay overnight for oxygen and diuretics. It's such a relief to have a reliable ER like this, especially with a dog whose diagnostics don't match her behavior. Part of my hesitancy in bringing my dog to the ER is being seen as the boy who cried wolf (she does not look sick, especially compared to the other pets that were in the waiting room at that time), but twice now, Sage Campbell has caught the congestion proving my gut feeling correct. read more

My daughter brought her dog to Sage because her regular vet wasn't available. Her dog had a persistent cough and had already been checked out at by his regular vet. Her dog was getting worse. Sage was on it, and engaged in affective and timely diagnostics. Their staff from the front desk to the back of this practice were understanding, sensitive, organized, and informative. My daughter's dog was diagnosed with pneumonia and given a course of antibiotics. Her dog is so much better now and she is convinced that Sage is the go-to-place for her dog.

The staff is friendly here and kind for the most part but the reality is this place is criminally understaffed and it shows in their handling of appointments vs ER patients and in their ability to thoroughly assess your pet. In all our years of pet ownership and going to emergency vet clinics we have never waited so long to be seen for a GI issue and potential blockage. We waited 5 hrs to get into an exam room and 1 hr to get a paper estimate. 1 hr to see a printed piece of paper with a treatment estimate. We waited an additional 2 hrs for them to actually treat our dog. So that's a total of 8 hrs. They have the data and they should know roughly how much traffic comes through, and the trends of emergency or life threatening %, there's no excuse for them to be this inefficient. Bottom line: they need more overnight staff. Maybe that's unrealistic for them due to any number of reasons but actually having appropriate # of staff would do so much to improve probably 90% of patients experiences here. read more

I've held off on writing this review because I didn't want to jinx anything -- but enough time has passed, and people need to know the truth. This clinic is dishonest and predatory. They took advantage of our panic and love for our dog during a scary moment, and I wouldn't wish our experience on anyone. Four months ago, our dog ate a comfort chew bone and within 15 minutes became lethargic, drooling, and unresponsive. Fearing a gastric emergency, we rushed her to SAGE first thing in the morning. From the moment we walked in, things felt off. The vet took our dog to the back for maybe five minutes -- then came back and claimed she had done an ultrasound and even aspirated her abdomen for fluids. I work in the medical field, and let me just say: that's not possible in five minutes, especially not without any signs of sedation, prep, or time. We were charged $880 for this "exam," and the vet spent maybe two minutes speaking with us total. She then told us -- with no lab work, no imaging evidence, no documentation of any kind -- that our dog had a splenic rupture and 2-3 days to live. She tried to push euthanasia on us right then and there and offered us numbers to call to put her down. When we asked for records or documentation, she provided nothing. When we asked for our dog back, the tech came in and handed us her leash -- but not our actual dog. When we asked again, she slammed the door in our face and came back visibly irritated, as if we were wasting their time by not handing over our dog to them. When we finally got her back, both of her legs were shaved and bloody like they attempted multiple failed IVs -- yet no IV fluids or medications were ever administered. Nothing. Fast forward to today -- our dog is 100% healthy and thriving. She never had a splenic rupture. Turns out she was just severely constipated and passed what can only be described as a brick. That's it. No surgery, no meds, no euthanasia -- just time and monitoring. What kind of clinic jumps to telling you your dog is dying with zero proof, while charging nearly $1,000 for fake diagnostics? This place doesn't care about animals -- they care about billing scared, vulnerable pet owners who are desperate to do the right thing. I don't know how this vet still has a license. I don't know how this clinic is still open. But I do know that we will never, ever return here -- and I hope no one else has to go through what we did. read more

This place is really gone downhill. We spent $400 for a less than a five minute exam (put of our sight) and a two minute talk with the specialist who told us exactly the same thing that our vet had already told us. They were very quick to get us the estimate that turned out to be almost $10,000. Did the doctor tell us about alternatives or what might be involved or anything except here's how much it'll cost? No. Honestly, it looks like the doctor could not wait to get out of the room with us. And to be clear, we've been coming here for a long, long time, and it is not the same place. read more

Recently came here for emergency vet care for our dog. Employees were all polite enough but this chain of vet offices is so expensive it's borderline predatory. To put it into perspective: Our dog had a serious health scare a few years ago that required extensive, in-patient treatment including multiple surgeries at VCA over the course of two weeks, leaving us with a bill that went well into the five figure range. We reached that same total in less than an hour here at Sage. The cost of care here is so expensive that it would be almost impossible for the average pet owner to remedy any serious medical issues. I understand that vet care is expensive, but there is no difference in the quality of care here vs other less expensive veterinary clinics. I would not recommend this place. I cannot imagine the number of animals that are euthanized here simply because of their exorbitant pricing. read more

Zero stars. I brought my cat in after it had been hit by a car, she had two injuries: one to her right leg and a superficial cut across her belly. I brought my cat in on Saturday, and I was immediately told that she would require extensive examinations and testing to locate any and all possible injuries, including internal injuries, and the cost would be several thousand dollars. I gave them my credit card number, they did their examination and tests, and told me she was in great shape and just needed to wait until she could be seen by the surgeon for appropriate treatment for her leg. Later that evening they called me and told me my cat was doing well and responding to staff. The next morning I was called and told she was doing well, she was aware of their schedule and waiting for them during their rounds, and the prognosis was excellent, and only waiting on what the surgeon decided on Monday morning. I received a call Sunday afternoon from the vet on duty who was just touching base with me to verify that I had been notified my cat was not going to survive the day because she had sepsis. I explained to that doctor that it was completely unexpected to receive this prognosis as I had been assured just 1.5 hours prior that she was in great shape other than the injury to her leg and we were simply waiting to find out what the treatment would be for the injured leg on Monday when the surgeon arrived. He was surprised that I had been told that, as my pet was going to pass away and there was nothing that could be done for her. I asked him why the sudden change in her condition, and he said he wasn't sure but he was going to see if he could find out. Approximately 45 minutes later he called me back to let me know that they had completely missed the superficial cut on her belly, and because of that they had not cleaned or dressed the wound and it had dirt and leaves in it and had become infected and that infection is what caused the death of my cat. It seems ridiculous that they could charge many thousands of dollars to perform a very thorough examination and run a large amount of tests designed to identify all injuries with my cat, and yet they missed an obvious injury that required nothing more than a cursory visual examination to identify. I have been a longtime customer of their next-door neighbor who also provides emergency services, and I have no doubt my cat would've survived had I taken her there instead of Sage. read more

Bobo, our Maine Coon cat's path started with a nosebleed and she's now on Day 10 post-surgery where they removed an abscess, the size of a clementine orange, that was attached to her intestine (at a very critical juncture between the large and small intestine). Sage Campbell was our third stop because they were recommended by a fantastic vet, Dr Appel @ Beacon in Fremont, for Sage's specialty medicine, specifically oncology because the leading diagnosis was cancer, lymphoma, etc... The minute we saw Dr Regan, I knew we were in good hands, she answered all of our questions, she has a cat herself, she was compassionate and pragmatic, and had a real sense of urgency. Suddenly the nosebleeds were the least of our concerns. Good news is that all tests have come back negative for cancer (lymph node biopsies, abscess inside and outside, etc...) and it seems like our gentle giant is even more unique than we thought. The abscess was filled with pus and they're still determining if the outside was a lymph node at some point or her body created this thing to protect itself from bad stuff. Dr Christopher did the surgery and he was amazing. Removing the abscess and not damaging her intestine or having to resect it was a very tall order, and he was able to accomplish both !!! He also has a Maine Coon, so completely understands that a large cat (18lbs) with chronic loose stools would be a real mess. We're still on the path to understand the cause of the abscess and perhaps how long it had been there, but until then, our large little lady is recuperating and waiting for the day she can jump and run again !!! read more

SAGE Veterinary Centers - Campbell - Veterinarians Near Me - Campbell, California

We've had great experiences with Sage over the years. They treated one of our cats that developed cancer, later a dog that developed a tumor and needed a very tricky surgery, another dog that needed emergency care, and most recently a young cat that became extremely ill and needed emergency care. Special shout out to Dr. Paulina (internist) who we met with after the sick kitty was stabilized and discharged from the ER. She was wonderfully knowledgeable and had a practical approach regarding next steps. I'm so pleased to have such a fantastic resource to turn to once my (great) regular vet is out of options or when there's an emergency. read more

This review is specifically for the Campbell location. If you have the option, please go to the Redwood City location instead -- they are truly compassionate and caring. I recently had to put my dog to sleep, and the lack of compassion I experienced from a nurse named Bianca at the Campbell office was deeply upsetting. My dog had just been diagnosed with a severe heart condition that was rapidly worsening. I rushed her to Campbell because she was struggling to breathe. They took X-rays, prescribed medication, and sent us home. Unfortunately, after giving her the medication, her condition declined very quickly. When I called back in distress, I was connected to Bianca. This wasn't my first time speaking with her -- and each time she came across as dismissive, short, and unkind. On this particular call, I explained that my dog's breathing rate was dangerously high and asked what I should do. Instead of empathy or clear guidance, she said, "Well, I don't have the dog in front of me." When I couldn't hear her response due to background noise and asked her to repeat herself, Bianca sighed, sucked her teeth and said, "Ugh, did you hear any of that? Okay, I'll start from the beginning" -- in a condescending tone. I told her I was scared and that my dog wasn't responding to the meds they had just prescribed and asked what else would they do if I brought her in again bc we had just been there and asked her if she could please adjust her tone bc she was coming off as really rude, and her response was: "I don't have time for this!!" before hanging up on me. At that moment, when my dog was in crisis, her complete lack of empathy was devastating. Out of desperation, I went to the Redwood City location. The difference was night and day. The team there treated me with compassion, explained that my dog should never have been discharged from Campbell, and admitted her immediately. Sadly, her condition worsened overnight, and I had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep. At least in Redwood City, I was surrounded by kindness, understanding, and respect in my final moments with her. No one should have to experience the rudeness and coldness I did with Bianca, especially from someone in emergency veterinary care. Compassion, patience, and empathy are not optional in this line of work -- they are essential. Bianca's attitude made an already unbearable situation even harder. If you are ever in need, please bypass Campbell and go straight to Redwood City. They will treat both you and your pet with the care and compassion you deserve. Bianca truly needs to work on herself and treat patients more kindly. read more

My husband and I often say we love SAGE, but we wish we never had to find out how great they are. Our 13 year-old Siberian kitty unfortunately had two run-ins with cancer, the second of which ended up taking her life. She was treated with the absolute best care at SAGE Campbell (and SAGE RWC) - specifically with Dr. Stephen Shaw. The care team at the front desk has always been compassionate and responsive. On the night that our cat passed away, I had to call 3 different vet ERs before landing on SAGE around midnight. She was under respiratory distress, and when we eventually arrived at the clinic, she was immediately whisked away to be evaluated STAT. Even though we had to say goodbye to her that night, we were reassured by the care we witnessed and received from all the staff and doctors. SAGE isn't cheap - we even had pet insurance to lessen each visit's blow - but we've found that they're worth it. I hope that in the future we never have to visit SAGE again, but they sure as heck know what they're doing. read more
