    Over the 36 years we have lived in Napa, Silverado Vet Hospital has provided the best care for our many animals. Our dogs, cats and hens have all received caring, compassionate treatment. The staff is so kind when it's been time to put our beloved pets to rest. I have complete confidence that any of the vets at Silverado will provide a correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

    First time here as well as first time going to a non emergency vet! Had to bring my bunny rabbit Tiny in due to fleas and scratching a lot. Everyone was such a pleasure to meet, absolutely wonderful and loving atmosphere and you can tell everyone who works here has a big heart -- for a first time vet visit to a (going to make my) regular vet I'd like to bring my girl back to I didn't feel nervous or worried at all! From the moment you walk in you feel well looked after and they make sure you and your lovely fluffy family member are doing well! My little one was treated with such love and care and all her needs were addressed-- thank you to the wonderful people working here for making our first time here a wonderful visit

    Doctor Hess killed my Rottweiler because of his greed of money. Do not trust him with you pet Dr Hess wanted one last grasp of making a big payday at the expense of my beloved 11 year old family member "Buster". Not many more chances to do so with an 11year old dog I trusted Dr. Hess. It never ever crossed my mind that his love and greed for money would cost my heathy dog his life because of it. I loved Buster. I got him when he was just 12 weeks old. The kindest dog I ever owned. A 120lbs teddy bear who trusted me with his everything. A family member and when he died I mourned like anyone would for the lost of their mom or dad or brother or sister. Buster was Family. What compounded my pain was that I trusted Dr Hess and I foolheartly trusted anything that he told me. He was the Doctor. Thinking naturally that he would have his professional code of ethics guiding him but they were jeopardized by his greed of money. I brought Buster in to see Dr Hess for a checkup. Buster was fine, happy, healthy, it was just a routine check up. Buster was aging and had a little arthritis as all dogs do his age. He would occasionally drag his rear paw as he ran. Dr Hess suggested we do a Myelogram. I didn't know what it was, I just trusted Dr Hess. Its a horrible evasive procedure where they insert a needle into the dog's spinal cord so they can read it. Read what Dr Hess? What were you going to do? Preform a spinal cord surgery on my perfectly happy healthy Buster. Of course not. As you didn't. You just wanted your share of the thousands of dollars that myelogram procedure cost. I went to pick up buster after the procedure and he had no movement in both of his hind legs ever again. Doctor Hess sent me home with a bunch of different antibiotics. I walked buster in and I had to carrying him out of Silverado ver hospital. Buster never walked again I had him to sleep. While at the hospital Dr Hess in between ignoring me and attempting to impress his young female intern. He showed no empathy towards me and my new plight which he caused. Buster was just another dog to him. The hurt and pain and my guilt for allowing this to happen has never left me years later. Shame on you Dr Hess. You probably are a man of science so you don't believe in a higher power I can promise you, what you did to my heart for trusting you wholeheartedly and what you did to a healthy happy Buster. You will have to answer for to your God if you have one. Waves like this don't go unnoticed in the universe. After all these years I still am heartbroken. And for what? Money. Doctor Hess this is a really slanderous review on you and I welcome you to silence me in a court of law But of course you won't because you know I speak the truth about you and I had the vets in Davis CA scratching there heads on why this evasive procedure was done I hope this helps anyone reading this if you are looking for a veterinarian or vet hospital please skip Silverado Veterinarian hospital and skip Dr Hess Heartboken Mark G

    I've had pets all my life. I've never seen a veterinarian with this kind of bedside manner. Dr. Hess is amazing.

The following morning, after calling several other veterinary offices that were unable to accommodate an emergency surgery, I called Napa West Pet Hospital. They told me to bring her in and had us in for an appointment within 45 minutes. The team carefully walked me through the surgery, the cost, and the expected timeline, and before I knew it, she was headed into surgery. I am incredibly thankful for the care, compassion, and concern they showed us during such a scary and stressful situation. Most of all, I am grateful that they were willing to take on a last-minute emergency case when we desperately needed help.

I was quoted approximately $203 per cat by two different staff members. After the exams were completed, I was informed that the actual cost would be several hundred dollars more than what I had been told. My frustration was not with the price itself, but with the fact that I made my decision based on the information provided by the clinic. What disappointed me most was how the situation was handled. When I tried to explain that I had relied on the information given by their staff, I felt my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. The owner ultimately ended the discussion without offering any solution. The medical staff were professional, and I did receive the documents I needed. However, the communication regarding pricing and the way the issue was handled left me very disappointed.

We came for testing on swollen lymph nodes, I sent an email asking for medication to be mailed to my house and was met with an email back that my dog had weeks to live, no call that he had cancer. It was heartbreaking. Palliative care seemed like my only option from the information I was given and when I changed my mind to try chemo there was no communication between doctors on his chart. I was told by one doctor to immediately stop Prednisone on account of him starting chemo and his entire neck swelled up, causing him to struggle breathing. When I took him in the other doctor at Alley Cat said that I should never have stopped his current medication. All of his information should have been shared between staff, because I had two different doctors telling me the opposite. I was then advised to rush him to the ER hospital and "hope they could start chemo" to save his life. Chemotherapy is not given out upon request, it is very hard to get appointments as it is and showing up at the ER an hour away they told me I should not have been advised to do so. I believe that this switch in opinions is what caused him to quickly deteriorate, and before we could start chemotherapy he passed away within three weeks.
