    We love InFURmary and Dr. Johnson! When our dog, Darwin, needed emergency surgery for kidney stones, they were able to get him in the same day and took amazing care of him. Dr. Johnson was kind, thorough, and helped us feel at ease during a very stressful time. One thing I really appreciate is that they've never pushed unnecessary treatments. They've always been upfront about our options, including lower-cost alternatives when appropriate. We've usually gone with their top recommendation, but it's reassuring to know they're focused on what's best for your pet. The entire staff is wonderful. All of the techs are caring and attentive, and Bea at the front desk is fantastic always friendly and so helpful. As the owner of a COVID puppy with separation anxiety, I also have to mention the pup cups!!. They make visits so much easier for Darwin. On a personal note, I'm an elementary school teacher and took a couple of days off while Darwin was recovering. I bought Dr. Johnson's book to read to my class when I got back it's called The Doggy Doctor, and my students loved it so much they voted it their favorite book of the year! We're so grateful for Dr. Johnson and the whole InFURmary team and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

    When our longtime veterinarians at Poway Animal Hospital retired, I was worried about finding someone new who would be just as compassionate and kind -- someone who truly cared about an animal's well-being more than anything else. I was very fortunate to find Dr. Jacqueline Johnson at The InFURmary. At the time, I brought in my almost 13-year-old Labrador retriever, Diesel, who was suffering from severe degenerative back issues. I hadn't planned on saying goodbye to my sweet boy that day, but Dr. Johnson approached the situation with such kindness and compassion. She gently helped me think beyond my own wishes and focus on what was truly in Diesel's best interest. Her empathy, patience, and genuine care meant more to me than I can express. Saying goodbye to Diesel was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but I am incredibly grateful that Dr. Johnson was there to guide us through that moment with such dignity and compassion. Because of the care and trust she showed during such a difficult time, I continue to bring my 13-year-old German Shepherd, Nala, and our newest addition to the family, Happy -- a 10-year-old yellow Labrador -- to see her. Diesel was deeply loved, and I'm thankful he had such a compassionate veterinarian caring for him at the end of his life. We feel very lucky to have found Dr. Johnson, and I trust her completely with the care of our animals.

    Happy customer, who is not licking his paws like he was before our visit

    Grateful we came here for our elderly mini schnauzer! He's had bad allergies since we came to California years ago and we haven't figured out to keep the symptoms at bay. My husband found the inFURmary and I'll admit, I was a little skeptical but at the appointment, they were incredibly thorough in their questions and testing. Once we got the meds and have been administering them, we're seeing such a different in managing the symptoms of our pup. Although it's a bit of a drive for us, I'm relieved we have a place to take our schnauzers where the issues get fixed!

    Just took my Cookie to the vet today here. Very friendly staff. Beautiful clinic. Cookie didn't even seem stressed out like she does with the vet usually. Dr. Jacqueline Johnson seems incredibly knowledgeable about pain management. Feel relieved that I seemed to have found a good spot for Cookie!

    If you're looking for a veterinarian you can truly trust with your furry family, we cannot recommend The Infurmary enough! We just took our sweet Charlotte Lucille in for her check-up and shots, and she was such a good patient--but only because Dr. Johnson and her amazing staff made her feel safe and loved from the moment we walked through the door. They even followed up later the same day to check on her and see how she was doing--such a thoughtful touch that gave us so much peace of mind. The clinic itself is brand new and absolutely stunning: Murals & artwork in every room Pup cups waiting in the lobby State-of-the-art operating rooms & equipment Reasonable, transparent pricing Most importantly, they treat your pets like their own--spoiled, loved, and cared for with the utmost compassion. The Infurmary is everything you want in a veterinary clinic (and more). Your furry babies will thank you! Trust me! www.theinfurmary.com

    New pet clinic in the Scripps/Mercy Rd area. This place is brand new and very spacious. Dr Johnson is really nice and takes her time with your pet. She gives you options on how you want to proceed with your pets care. She doesn't pressure you into anything you don't want. The Vet Techs are very knowledgeable and you can tell are experienced. Love this place and will be getting my dog, Koda's care here from now on.

    We took our Doberman in this morning because he was bitten by another dog and was in a lot of pain. They had immediate availability so we rushed him in. From the moment we walked in, we knew we found a special team who's passion for animals and expertise is unmatched. They were very patient getting our dog into a comfortable state because he does not generally like the vets office. They tended to his needs and he's doing great already. I absolutely recommend inFURmary to everyone who loves their pet

    I am very impressed with Dr. Johnson and The InFURmary. They specialize in pain management and have many treatment options that do not involve medications. The staff provide exceptional customer service. I am taking my 18 year old dog for Shockwave and Laser therapy. After only 3 sessions I have seen significant improvement in his mobility. Their fees are very reasonable and they are open on Saturday! I highly recommend them!

    Great Veterinary Clinic!! Took my boy here for his 1st visit.....I was completely impressed by Dr Johnson and her staff. My boy was treated with great care, knowledge, treatment and I appreciate that. A+

    My black lab Diana had a pretty large laceration on her paw. Dr. Johnson was able to get us in and have Diana stitched up in no time! She took really good care of her and explained everything in the process to me. Everyone was very friendly and kind. I ended up transferring all of my dogs over to Dr. Johnson for their routine exams/check-ups because of how great she is! Thank you everyone! They even have a cute little pup cup coffee bar, Finn my other dog pictured getting his annual check up.

    There is nothing more I could've asked for from the inFURmary. Very suddenly, I noticed dramatic weight loss in my 15 year-old childhood cat, Mickey. So, I snuck him out of the house over to the inFURmary for a check-up. Despite being younger and on a budget, everyone was willing to work with me to seek out the best, yet most affordable options for Mickey. I was given subcutaneous fluids for my boy, along with an appetite stimulant. They even sent me home with a few cans of wet food, which was just such a thoughtful gesture and shows how caring the staff are. After I received his bloodwork results via email, I would send constant emails with general questions, support for his treatments, and advice for our future steps. Dr. Johnson went just above and beyond, taking the time each day to respond to each and every inquiry I sent, even several day after my visit. Her expertise, patience, and support absolutely exceeded my expectations, and is a testament to just how far the inFURmary had gone to care for Mickey. Despite this, I had brought in Mickey too late. He ended up in critical condition, and lost his ability to walk and stand about 4 days after I visited. We rushed him over to the ER as it was very late at night, and we were told it was best to put him to sleep. Even after the fact, I had sent a panicked, follow-up email about about my doubts, and I was still treated with the same level of respect and care. The inFURmary is exceptional for not only treating Mickey, but for also helping me understand and learn just about everything there was to know about his condition. Dr. Johnson's patience and expertise is outstanding, and I can rest well knowing that I had brought Mickey into the right hands. Thank you so much to her, and to everyone at the inFURmary. Mickey was honored to have been in your care! We love you Mickey!!

    We recently came in today to get our Great Dane Scoober looked at for his ear. He frequently gets infections in both. We moved down to Mira Mesa area and browsed around for a new vet. My wife found inFURmary and we got an appointment the same day. This place is insanely clean, spacious, and welcoming. The staff were super polite and helpful. They didn't try to upsale us with a bunch of stuff that we don't need like our last vet did and we appreciate that. Very happy we selected the inFURmary team! Highly recommend !! Such a clever name haha

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.

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.

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've heard about some Veterinarians who tend to pad their bills with extra services and items, but until this visit I hadn't really experienced it. We brought our older (and basically healthy) dog in today because she was sick on Thursday (vomiting food & water). She felt better on Friday and today, but we brought her in anyway to get checked out. Cue the huge bill! The original estimate on the high side was $1300, and we had them lower that estimate by a few $100 by removing a couple of services including xrays. Then after she'd been there for a few hours, they indicated that she needed more tests to the tune of nearly $1000. We had them do most of them, but not all. As I'm writing this on Sunday, Cali is feeling much better, she's now on a low-fat diet, and the tests that they did all turned out negative. (We're still waiting on the results of the urinalysis.) Thank goodness, but jeez... They also negatively impacted my bank account. I'm glad my dog is feeling better, and she's worth any cost honestly, but I sincerely feel that some of things they did were not necessary, and didn't need to be done this time, or could have been pushed forward and a determination about their necessity could've been made after we made some changes and monitored her. It is what it is at this point, but I just suggest that you pay close attention to the estimates and bills at this Vet Hospital, and knowing your pet, make the right decisions for them, whatever they may be.
