From my first phone call, the woman I spoke with was kind, compassionate, and professional. She helped schedule us at my preferred location within an hour, which meant so much during a stressful time. My 11-year-old cat had been refusing food for several days, so I was understandably worried. Dr. Camacho and veterinary technician Gabriela were wonderful. They completed a thorough examination, clearly explained the possible causes, and walked me through the recommended diagnostic testing and next steps. I especially appreciated how transparent they were about the options and costs. I found the pricing to be very reasonable. The most significant cost was the comprehensive senior cat blood panel, which I understand is an important and necessary step in identifying and treating an issue that cannot be seen during a physical exam. While we are still waiting to learn exactly what is going on with my cat, I already feel reassured that we found such a kind, knowledgeable, and caring veterinary clinic. I look forward to continuing my cat's care with their team. Excellent customer service truly goes a long way. As someone who works in healthcare, I can recognize the difference that compassionate, respectful communication makes--especially when someone is worried about a loved one. West Coast Animal Hospital's front- and back-office staff were exceptional, and I hope more healthcare settings follow their example. I will update this review once we have more information about my cat's health.

I've been bringing my dog here for some years but I'm leaving a review today because whoever…read moreMargaret at the front desk is needs to be retrained or let go because she is rude and argumentative. Secondly I've brought my dog in TWICE and paid TWICE for his leg in the last 2 months that's not getting better after he fell off the couch, we want to move forward with surgery but she said we have to come in a THIRD time and pay a THIRD time for the doctor to tell us a THIRD time what we already know which is he needs surgery on his leg. Why can't we just pay for the xray we both know he needs vs paying you to tell us that? This place just seems like it's going downhill so we are going to be looking into switching. It was a good run while it lasted.

He kept me updated as they were crossing back into the U.S. and let me know when they were getting close so I could be ready to greet my viejito on time. He also helped me carry him out of the van and reminded me to make sure to check his medications were correct before he left. There's something really comforting about knowing your dog isn't just being transported from point A to point B, but that there are people that care looking out along the way.

Rami and Cocoa do not like vet visits and become very anxious, but they have been able to warm up to Dr. Hare because he will get down to their level in the exam room and is very calm. We have trusted Amici with not only routine services, but they handled Cocoa's spay and recently Rami had to have a dental procedure. The took great care, took the appropriate labs, monitored them, and gave us many updates. They aren't the cheapest priced vet, but the quality of care and service greatly makes up for it.

B Street Veterinary Hospital is the best of the best. They are a neighborhood vet and it really…read moreshows in their compassion and love of the neighborhood dogs. My dog Petrie (Pug, 8 years old) was suddenly vomiting blood and also had it in his stool. I was panicked, because in the 8 years I've had him, I've never seen him sick like that. I rushed him to an emergency vet even though B street is his primary care vet. The emergency vet had us wait for two hours just to hand us a pamphlet of where else we should go (in all fairness I'm sure there was more emergent medical issues going on there that they had to tend to first, and I was going to be on a long list of waits) but B street was at capacity that day and after I told them the issue they squeezed us in. They even gave us a private waiting room where the air conditioning worked better to wait in because my pug is a brachycephalic breed which usually do not do well in hot environments. During the first visit Dr. Olsen was very helpful and comforting to Petrie. She went over all the issues she thought it could be, all while petting my dog and making us feel comfortable. After labs/tests came back she explained everything in detail and very thoroughly about probiotics/antibiotics. Unfortunately I had to bring him back a few days later because his itching got worse (I'd assume unrelated to the first visit, he's just always had allergies) but he had a scratched so much overnight he had a horrible hotspot the next day. They told me I could come in the next day without hesitation and no appointment. The Doctor that saw him that day was Dr. Elena. She was just as professional and compassionate. She gave me tips and tricks on how to treat the itching better, and put him on a few more antibiotics after they shaved and cleaned the hotspot. I received two follow up emails reiterating treatment and what we spoke about in person. Not automated, real person to person emails. I really appreciated that. Petrie is doing much better thanks to these amazing women! Of course along side their brilliant team of techs and receptionists. The whole operation is so dialed in and kind!! Can't sing their praises enough.

They stay pretty busy, and the waiting area is small, so I prefer waiting outside or in my car since it gets crowded inside. They also take your dog in the back without you well before the exam, vaccines, or procedure. Just a heads‑up if that's something you care about or prefer to be present for. The staff themselves were very friendly -- upbeat, bubbly, and kind -- which definitely helps the experience. I was referred here by the rescue, so I came in for two vaccines. Even though the wait was long, everything went smoothly, and I got a call a few hours later to pick up my pup. Overall, a busy walk‑in clinic with friendly staff and straightforward care, but plan ahead for the wait and the drop‑off style.

Hi, my name is Esther. I've been a cat rescuer for many years and am currently the cat mom to five…read more This review is especially for my most beloved cat, Sassy. Sassy is a chunky snowshoe breed, 10+ years old. Her previous owner passed away from Covid, and she became part of my family in 2023. In 2025, I was devastated to learn that she has Stage 4 renal disease. Her liver is failing, and without proper treatment, her life would have been cut short. Dr. Karen Kurowski and her incredible team--Lindsey, Nate, Sunny, Hyda, and the other compassionate vet techs--have been a lifeline. They gave me a clear plan to follow, supported me with each step, and have truly helped sustain Sassy's life. She is now on the right medications, and I give her fluid injections every other day as her "second kidney." Because of their care, Sassy has been able to live not just longer--but better. What I love most about this hospital is that it feels less about money and more about what's right for the animal. Veterinary care can be expensive, especially when you have multiple cats like I do. But here, I have always felt they try to keep costs reasonable and make sure I'm not overwhelmed. They are honest, practical, and thoughtful--always focusing first on the well-being of my pets. That kind of integrity means the world to me. Today, Sassy is thriving in her "fourth quarter." She doesn't know she is ill. She lives with joy, gratitude, and happiness every single day. It is my honor to care for her, and it is thanks to Dr. Kurowski and her team that she is enjoying this chapter of her life so fully. For anyone looking for a veterinary office that combines expertise, compassion, and fairness, Scripps Ranch Veterinary Hospital is that rare place. I will always be grateful to them for the care and love they've shown Sassy--and me.

There's something really painful about needing monthly refills and managing his medication. It's a reminder that he's sick. I find myself avoiding the task altogether sometimes, and despite that, their team always meets me with so much grace. Being able to text them and get a quick response makes everything feel more manageable. Even when I reach out last minute for his pain medications, which is often, they always find a way to accommodate me and get what he needs as quickly as possible. The understanding and compassion they show, even when I know I should give more notice, truly means so much. Thanks, Coastview.

While this is not a review on the vet that is currently practicing at this office it's a review of…read moreultimately how things were handled and initial treatment of my dog. I took my dog here 11 years ago now for spay surgery. While recovery went well and no complications at the time occured I discovered 10 years later after she had an additional abdominal surgery for a tumor on her liver by another vet that surgical gauze had been left from a previous surgery- the only previous surgery she's ever had was her spay. Because of the left foreign matter in her abdomen her body -luckily- encapsuled the gauze which then adheared to multiple organs. To the extent that when we removed it during her recent liver tumor surgery a portion of her intestions and pancreas needed to be removed as well and everything sent for biopsy. While I'm thankful this is the "worst" that happened because of this negligence- the alternative was her going into sepsis and dying. So I guess pick your poison? When I contacted the office to report - essentially malpractice- initially I was left to feel ignored. My information was taken and I was told the owner of the practice (same owner as when the initial surgery was completed) would phone me back. After a couple follow up calls the office manager (not vet owner as requested) called me back to get my info and story. I eventually was put in contact with the owner Dr Dio. He listened and apologized and then informed me that vet was no longer there. But not why. Nor would he provide their license number so I could report this to the vet board. Ultimately after explaining the situation and asking for reimbursement of the additional 1600$ spent on the additional surgery and biopsy because the mass was unknown. He offered me free vet treatment at his office. (Y'all almost killed my dog? Why would I go back there for treatment??) When I expressed that wasn't satisfactory he then offered a refund for the initial surgery...$300. I again expressed this isn't what I good enough for the problem that occured. He left the phone call that he would discuss with his office manager and get back to me- surprise surprise- they never contacted me again. Once again- this is not a review on the current Dr pearson- I've worked with her at other vet offices in the past and she's wonderful. But this is reflection on how the owner Dr Dio handles situations that occur with vets under his practice.

I brought my dog in for an ear infection and somehow ended up paying almost $1,000 after they ran a bunch of tests. In the end, I walked out with a small bottle of medicine. The doctor even told me the problem could keep coming back, so I would probably have to come back again for more medicine. A few weeks later, I came back because the medicine was finished and my dog needed another prescription. That's when things got really bad. They took my dog to the back without me, which I found extremely strange and was not comfortable with at all. I wanted to be there with my own dog, but they took him away from me anyway. Then they started pushing more tests and more charges. I told them I did not want all these extra tests, but they kept trying to convince me. It felt like they were looking for every possible way to charge me more money. The staff was extremely rude and disrespectful. I did not feel listened to, respected, or like they actually cared about helping my dog. I felt like all they saw was a way to make more money. I already spent almost $1,000 the first time, and instead of simply helping with the same problem they already diagnosed, they immediately wanted to do more tests and charge me again. This place feels like a complete money grab. I would never trust them with my dog again, and I would never recommend them to anyone. I am taking this seriously and plan to report my experience to the California Veterinary Medical Board and BBB to make sure other pet owners know exactly what happened to me so they don't go through the same and do not get fooled by these money hungry profiteers. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BRINGING YOUR PET HERE. I WISH I HAD.
