We were traveling through town and had a pet emergency with one of our 18 yr old cats. I knew she needed to be put out of her misery and I needed to find a vet to accommodate us the same day. I called around Sonora, and Sierra VC was the most compassionate vet! The front desk, the vet techs and the doctor were all outstanding in their service and care of my beautiful Cinder in her last hours. And, after not eating anything I tried to give her for days, they even had a magic elixir (special cat food) for her last meal...and she loved it. Every person in that clinic went above and beyond, and made us feel as if they'd been caring for Cinder her entire life. My gratitude knows no bounds and I can't recommend them strongly enough! read more

Wonderful, caring staff! Conveniently located and great office hours to accommodate working schedules. Thanks so much! read more

New to the area and this was our first visit. Dr Courtney Cook was so friendly and knowledgeable. Glad I chose Sierra Vet Clinic!

First off I'd like to point out that when it comes to anything that comes with a certificate (doctors, vets, mechanics, etc) I'm always really leery that I'm going to be screwed over. So I always look for reviews, even then I don't always believe them. However, with the reviews online and even a few people in Sonora who recommended them (we're new to the area) I figured they'd be the best to try. One of my cats, Remus, had a large lump on her leg that had grown over several months. I finally brought her in and they treated us like friends. They had to perform a deep biopsy so she came home with a cone and some meds. The site was oozing a few days later and I called about it so they said to bring her in to give it a check. They didn't charge! The joke of vets charging to touch the door wasn't true! A day later her vet called with the results, on her day off no less. She was very sympathetic and never made me feel guilty. After figuring out how much a recommended amputation would cost and how to pay I left her in their capable hands. The girls at the front desk were very nice and the technicians were always happy to answer questions. After her surgery I've called almost every day with every sort of question a worried mother could ask. Each time they asked how we were both doing and answered questions without any annoyance. When it comes to my two beauties I'll be happy to bring them here. Even though Remus might not want to ever see the inside of her carrier again should her sister Romulus need to go I'll be taking her here. And suggesting that others go too. read more

We have been taking our animals to this clinic for years and have 0 complaints. One of my dogs actually likes going to the vet, because he is treated so well here! Even the one time that they couldn't diagnose a skin condition, that my Doxy Mix developed, they knew exactly where to send me for further assistance! I didn't even know animal dermatologists existed! read more

I've been completely satisfied with Jeff Wittman and his staff for many years. They are all very knowledgeable and friendly. Frankly, I can't imagine taking my cat anywhere else. read more

We received our fist puppy and as we received her she came with her first set of vaccines. The time came where she needed more vaccines so I began researching vet's that did the " Puppy packages" it seemed to be cheaper in the long run for vaccines. WE called the vet that the puppy received her first set of shots at and were told they didn't do " Puppy packages" So a friend had told us about Sierra Vet. In the past she had had good experienced with them....US not so much. I called the front office and on the first call the GIRLS up front were not personable and kind of short. Thinking maybe they had a bad day (Like we all do) decided to stop my search and go with them. The "Puppy package" was $250.00 including a puppy chipping. WE did all of her vaccines and then it was time to schedule her spay. Day of spy dropped her off in morning, received call from vet tech at noon telling me that my dog was in recovering and if I had any questions. I did not have questions but I did ask her to see if the Dr could look at a sore that my dog had that would not heal. She stated that she would ask the Dr to look at the sore. I arrived to get my dog at the time I was asked to. I was not greeted and was asked how I was making my payment? Front office people again not friendly and seemed to be in a hurry. I asked her if they had a chance to look at my dogs sore. She went in the back poked her head around corner and came back out to tell me that they never say a sore. I showed her a picture of the sore and she just ignored me. I figured while dog was there they could take a extra MINUTE to check the sore and maybe go out of their way to make sure I was a satisfied customer. NOPE!! Took my payment and then a girl came out and handed me a leash attached to my dog and said NOTHING!! I was so upset at that time I was not going to go back there or give them another dime!! Bad customer service and staff does not seem to be interested in giving your pets the BEST Care!! read more

We love this veterinary clinic. The only complaint that I have is the first appointment that we had I had to bring my new puppy for his first appointment and I was left in a room with my 3 young children for 45 minutes before we were seen. I know emergencies happen so I wasn't too upset, it was just hard with the kiddos. Every other appointment since has been great and we will continue to go there. read more

Just wanted to say how nice it was to have a vet that cared. I had to eventually put my dog down and it broke my heart. They reached out and made me feel supported. I chose to have him cremated and the box he came in was wonderfully beautiful with his name on it. So much help 24rs I needed with my old man till his last minute he was in good care. I can't thank the whole staff enough for their help and consideration through this difficult time. read more

I love this vet all the staff are very friendly and caring.. we will continue to use them for our pets needs..

We received the best quality pet care ever! The staff was very professional! Thank You so much for helping our two little ones Pixie and Poncho get back to good health! They even called our house to check up on them! Glynn and Lorrie Barnes read more

Always prompt friendly service. My dog & I met our "new" Dr., Dr. Clinite. She was awesome & thorough, answering all my questions.

Dr. Wittman and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. I have all my dogs cared for here and have even convinced family members and friends to have their veterinary needs switched to this hospital. Their quality of medicine is top notch and will definitely do what's right for your animal. Keep up the great work. read more

If we could give a zero score we would. Brought our large breed puppies in for the rest of their puppy vaccines plus a rattle snake vaccine in February. After a week of terrible diarrhea with both pups, our female puppy developed a lump on her right shoulder and a limp. I called the office where I was told to put a warm compress on the lump to take down the swelling. After some time the lump eventually went away and she no longer had a limp. She was running and playing like a normal pup does. I called the office in late March with concerns about the second rattle snake vaccine. I was assured she would be given the vaccine in her left shoulder instead. I showed up to the office with both puppies and verified with the girl at the counter that the female pup would receive her vaccine in her left shoulder. I was assured that the tech would read her chart. While in the room, I held onto the larger male puppy while the tech held onto the female puppy. The tech struggled to keep hold of the female pup while trying to vaccinate her. As I looked on, the tech plunged the needle into her right shoulder. I heard her say "oops I missed" . All along still struggling with our female puppy, she quickly plunged the needle again into her right shoulder before I could say anything. I spoke with someone at the counter about what had occurred in the room. I was very disappointed that the tech obviously did not read our female puppy's chart. Once again the female pup had an adverse reaction to the rattle snake vaccine. Her shoulder was severely swollen, along with a larger lump and severe limping. We ended up dropping her off at the clinic to be seen by the vet. My husband explained to the vet what had occurred previously and the vet acknowledged the delayed adverse reaction to the rattle snake vaccine and the error made by vaccinating the female pup in the right shoulder. After spending the day in the clinic, our female puppy was given medication and went home. A week later we had a phone message from the clinic checking to see how our puppy was doing. I called back and left a message that evening regarding her lack of improvement. The next day I left another message. The following day I spoke with Breanna and left a message for the vet again. A week later and still no response, I finally spoke with Angela, who spoke to the vet and once again our puppy was prescribed medication. I was told someone would be following up to see how she was doing. Of course that did not occur. Due to the lack of our puppy's improvement, we took her to another veterinary clinic for a second opinion. The vet gave her a full examination and took some xrays. We were informed that our 6 month old puppy would need surgery. We put our trust and faith that this veterinary clinic would take care of our puppies and that no harm would come to them while at their clinic. We brought you a healthy puppy, and in return you injured our puppy. read more

This place is horrible!! They have horrible service both in person and on the phone. I called to find out if they carried a vet-only dog food. First call I got hung up on while they were trying to put me on hold. Second call resulted in being put on hold several times. I finally went in and when I inquired about said dog food, they tried to tell me that it didn't exist. If they didn't have it they could have just said so, not try to make me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about. Thank goodness for Alpine down the street!! read more

after 3 years of bringing my allergic dog and my other dog here I must say that Dr Wittman is a very good vet ,better than most, however I feel they are more focused on selling overpriced medications from their in house pharmacy, than what is best for my allergic dog , They have always been paid in full at time of service but after they refused to treat my dogs after they were badly injured in a fight and required stitches for deep wounds because I had complained about not being able to fill their prescriptions at a cheaper pharmacy on my Facebook page I was forced find another vet where i discovered how truly obscene their prices actually are since receiving excellent but AFFORDABLE care at Twain Harte Vet hospital who is always friendly takes excellent care of my dogs and who offer identical medications at a fraction of the price . I can get the same care and medications for as much as 75% less than charged at this clinic every time and they dont over prescribe useless unnecessary medications that only mask symptoms and do nothing about the underlying cause of them and now since taking my allergic dog to another clinic just one time my dog has not had one ear infection since and only needed 2 inexpensive medications that worked perfectly well and has not had a flare up in almost a year since for the first time in his 9 yrs of life and coincidentally after a just a brief discussion on how to manage his allergy and symptoms from the new vet .something that never happened in 3 yrs of going to sierra vet hospital .With vet care difficult enough to afford this kind of price gouging is unacceptable and almost criminal in my book to be overcharged and over medicated for things they dont need in addition to not being overcharged anymore I also dont have to deal with being embarrassed in front of other clients when staff is quite rude to me with their total lack of any bedside manner (especially when your already worried sick about your furbabies )no compassion at all just a cold demand for full payment and little effort if any often refusing to even provide the services you paid for like tumor removal while under anesthesia so they can charge you for yet another procedure necessary under expensive and dangerous anesthesia ,And even bing told If i was short on the insane high bill i was charged they would KEEP MY DOGS and charge boarding as well . REALLY how is that for telling you what they really care about , MONEY not your dog! I also got no help at all trying to find out the name of the first vet who treated my dogs as I only wanted to see him but couldnt remember his name I didnt want to see the others because the others all have different approaches to allergic dogs and all just pushed the same ineffective meds that usually dont work longer than while they are taken . If you complain your S.O.L and will get refused service even in a serious emergency . Thats not what i consider putting my pets health first as they advertise instead all they worry about is if they will get paid in full or not . they really dont care about your dog unless you can afford to pay the high cost of going there and you dont ask questions or have any input as to what they are doing with your pets , unless money is easy to find I wouldn't go here they will overcharge you to death . I wouldn't take my dogs back to them if they were the only vets left on earth after the way we were treated there and know they couldn't care less as they have enough clients with money who dont question the services or cost and for buying pure breds from puppy mills to keep them in business. i hope anyone reading this NEVER BUYS ONLINE OR FROM PET STORES OR WITHOUT BEING ALLOWED TO SEE THE PARENTS ,otherwise you are 99% likely to be supporting horrific cruelty from puppy mills .and paper pushing AKC dealers read more

These folks were the vets for my Mom's dog whom we inherited when she died. They are amazing, so much so that I drive the 150 miles to have them take care of my dog! My dog needed extensive surgery which they did expertly at a fraction of what my vet in the Bay Area would have charged. The staff is knowlegable and friendly and the doc's all graduated from UC Davis. You may wait a while on the phone, but it is well worth it. read more

If I could I would give these people a zero. They mis-diagnosed our dog and upon a complaint did not have the courtesy to respond to our letter to them. All they care about is your money! Very pathetic! read more

Dr Cook and Shevonne were wonderful with my 3 cats! They listened to me and my concerns. They were gentle yet able to control my cats who are terrified of strangers. I would absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Sierra Veterinary Care and Dr Cook and Shevonne. Thank you so much for caring for my cats. Anne H read more

Great team. Thank you Dr. Lewis, Teri, Tanya and Peter. Our new puppy (Midge) developed sudden life threatening vascular shock. The puppy was playing and then suddenly became lethargic, collapsed, drooling and breathing heavily. From the first call the team was calm and organized. Their concern was focused on the condition of Midge. We gave our best history of events. When we arrived the tech was waiting at the door and took Midge to be evaluated. Tanya was great, she took additional history and gave us a well needed hug of support and understanding. Not more than 15 minutes later Dr Lewis and Peter came in and were very reassuring. She had quickly diagnosed the problem and provided life needed therapy. Her examination was meticulous and she found the tiny bee sting sac hidden in Midges paw. Anaphylactic shock could have ended this puppies life. The team at Sierra Veterinary Care is great. Thank you. read more

This teams of Docs and their staff have been with me for the good, the bad, and even the ugly for many years. Would not trust my furry family to anyone else. I have and will always recommend this office to everyone. read more

They did an emergency surgery on our Poodle that swallowed a fish hook up in Pinecrest Lake last yr. Diagnosed that my aging Border Collie X has a degenerative disc problem with a state of the art, imagery x-ray that you can fully see and they explain so you can understand. Also they have given nothing but support and treatment for all of his12 yrs. of allergies. Yes, they are a bit pricey ... can I really live without them? NOOOO read more

Caring and loving staff. The care my elderly dogs received was outstanding. Our blind dachshund had a weeping eye for years but our previous vet in the Bay Area never diagnosed the problem. Our little dachshund finally got it treated with some relief. I highly recommend this clinic. read more

I have brought my pets here over the years usually have had no problems but yesterday's incident left me a little upset. I had a 3pm nail appointment for my dog was waiting someone came in after me with a 3:20 appointment was taking in before me when I asked about this they continued with taking the other customer and all seemed to disappear in the back. I left. No apology no phone call. I was a little upset how this was handled. read more

Took my new puppy there today, efficient, courteous service despite my being 10min late for my appointment.

Our boxer became sick while we were visiting the area and Dr.Cook got us in right away and was so caring and kind to both our Sierra and her mom and dad. She knew just how to treat her condition and did not over charge or recommend unneeded procedures. She also called twice to follow-up on how Sierra was doing. The staff is great and the office very clean. We will be in the area more often and will use Dr. Cook for all our veterinary needs. read more

Sierra Vet is exceptional in their care and knowledge!

Sierra Veterinary Care is great! The doctors are all very knowledgeable and the staff is very nice and know what they're doing. They also have a new website with all our dog's history, very nice. read more

Sierra Vet Care are exceptional. I have all my babies there. My Precious was 21 years old when I lost her and they took so great care of her even when she passed. Jia is a bit scary when she's away from home ( had her sauce she was 4 oz.) she is 13 and again they know just how to care for her. read more

The Staff and Doc's are all amazing! They are friendly and kind! I appreciate them all so very much! I would highly recommend this vet office! read more

Sierra Vetrinary Care has always done a wonderful job for us. We love our pets, but have to budget. They have been able to help us keep our Black Lab healthy and happy even on a budget. Something that isn't all that easy concidering that he has seizures. They really work with us. Helping us regulate his meds, even discussing concerns over the phone, taking as much time with us as needed. Their prices are always reasonable and quite a bit lower than other vets in the area. They also never make us feel bad about not being able to do everything at once. They give us time and options to fit our finances. read more

I just recently moved from Sonora after living there for 26 years... Dr. Jeff and his team of professionals and staff haved worked well for me,my 2 big dogs and mangy cat..and several dogs before them. The office staff may not always be perfect..but they show concern and care for the client and their pets... best regards...Judy Dudney read more

I've been taking my dog here since 2011. I just found out my dog has glaucoma in his right eye. Has been blind for about 3 months. The past year and half. I was told he has red eye. Not once did they do the correct testing. I've spend over 2000.00 in 2014. For eye drops, medication and office visits. I went to another Vet on Saturday and he tested my dog and told me he was blind and had glaucoma. Today I had another eye spec tell me the same. Why did Sierra keep my dog in terrible pain with the pressure? Plus take all my money. How dishonest can Sierra Vet be to a pet owner. Shame on them. read more

We have been taking our dogs and cats to this clinic ever since it opened back in the nineties. We have always received excellent, expert service. All the vets are graduates of the UC Davis veterinary school and they go above and beyond in providing gentle care, explaining treatment options, and making follow up calls. They also have a pet supply store next door that carries top quality foods and products which are very competitively priced. Friendly helpful service too. read more

Caring and friendly staff ! And a great radio jingle too !

Our dog started scratching again while we were travelling and we needed more Apoquel. I called on Monday and got a Tuesday appointment with Dr. Halsebo. The reception was friendly and caring. The technician did a good review of his situation and a physical exam. Dr. Halsebo examined him and asked us insightful questions about timing of the itching, where we were, etc. She then gave us her insight on allergic reactions to environmental things like pollens & grasses, which fit our past travel stops. She also gave us outstanding insight on the use of Apoquel and an Rx for it. Sierra Vet filled the Rx and I think the cost was quite fair. read more

Absolutely love love love this place. The front office team is the best I have ever had the pleasure to work with. The vets are wonderful, follow thru with everything they say the will do. Never felt rushed and they explain everything in detail. Thanks again. We love you guys. read more

Second review: Now that Rufus has been going to Sierra Vet for the past 4 years, I thought I would follow up on my previous review. Rufus always receives excellent care on his visits and when he boards. The staff is courteous, friendly and helpful. Since we don't prefer any Doctor in particular, Rufus has seen a few of the Doctors; we find them all knowledgeable, kind, patient and always willing to answer any questions we have. I never feel as though we are being up-sold on anything and any tests or prescriptions recommended have been valid. They also do the best nail trims! :) read more
