I'm going to second Hot W's review. There's a REASON why this place only has 9 reviews...probably…read morepaid her colleagues and friends to leave good reviews. Went there recently, had a similar experience. Originally the visit was to assess his neurological health due to his wobbly legs and urinary issues. Told the cat was to be put down BEFORE a legitimate diagnosis. I work in tech/manufacturing and my whole family is in the medical field. I use logic, deductive reasoning, and critical thinking on a daily basis. I've seen, heard, and experienced all sorts of things through immersion in terms of medical. This "vet" has no fucking reason to be licensed with how she comes to her diagnosis. One of my first jobs was interning at a disability evaluation clinic. How this "vet" responds to pets would be the equivalent of saying "You should think about euthanasia" to some of the patients I've seen who have had medications on top of their medications. Absolutely disgusting with no empathy no sense of scientific method, reason, or logic behind her diagnosis. Our cat had bloodwork done at SAGE. ONE of the 3 visits to other vets we were told he does have a heart murmur, but some how she rolled some dice and came to the conclusion he had fluid in his lungs and heart failure/disease. The murmur was rated a 2/5 from one of the ER Sage vets and we were told it isn't even an issue especially if he's had it for this long. DO NOT GO HERE. EVER. I don't care what she says. If not for the lack of empathy but the lack of deductive reasoning and professionalism. I'd rather pay a thousand to go to the ER at Sage for a normal visit than to pay $300 for 10minutes of this person to pretend to play doctor. Yes she charged 300 to talk to us. The "vet" performed no bloodwork other than the normal work an intern could have done. She did a garbage job of feigning empathy, she seemed annoyed that she had to look at our cat, said he was underweight (he's an old cat, but slightly underweight), the "fluid in his lungs" that she heard was his fucking stomach, because he's on Miralax. How am I going to take you seriously when you don't even know the difference between lungs and a stomach. Jesus Christ the incompetence of this place is unbelievable. And just today we did a check up with our normal vet and for his wobbly legs and peeing and he's completely fine outside of that. She checked his heart, completely fine. I NEVER leave reviews but I need to warn you all of this place. Save your time, save your money, and potentially save your pets life from a woman that has no business in this field ever. I've worked with a lot of people from all walks, trained a lot of people with various skills, interacted with many people, and I will never be more disgusted at how this person carried themselves. You work on animals because you weren't good enough to work with people, you don't care about animals. I've heard plenty of HORRIBLE stories of malpractice. YES I AM PISSED.

One of the best veterinary experiences ever! Dr. Farcas is amazing, he was so thorough and…read moredetailed, he took his time to explain everything and made sure that I understood what he explained, and he was very open to my preferences (but he was also very honest with what he felt like was realistic). The support staff were very compassionate and took the time to explain pre-op and post-op instructions. They are very much worth the price because the quality of care and medicine is superb. This is why I have pet insurance so I don't have to worry about cost and I can provide the very best when it comes to my dogs' medical care. I highly recommend Dr. Farcas and his team if you need specialty dentistry.

We took our bird Pickles here because he was very sick, in the 18 years of him being my buddy I…read morehave only taken him to the vet one time. I cannot begin to describe the emotional distress that I was in. "It has takin me 4 months before I could even write this review. Now that you understand the state of mind I was in, let's begin: I took Pickles in to see Dr. VanZant Who is extremely knowledgeable and did everything she could to help Pickles. I will say this about Dr. VanZant... she does not mix her words, she tells you like it is, to a fault. She comes off making you feel like you don't care for your pet and you're a horrible owner of your pet. "At least that's how she made me feel" now after talking to many people and I mean many people, including people that have worked with her in the past, they all said to me that Dr. VanZant is an incredible aviary veterinarian and truly cares for the animals "which I agree with 100%" but she is very rough around the edges. So I guess what I'm trying to convey in my review is... I would absolutely take my bird back to her, and we did until the disease I felt was too great for my bird and I had to put him down I also took my other bird Peaches in to see her for a blood work up because I was afraid that she might have also have gotten the disease that Pickles had. Let's make it clear Dr. VanZant is emotionally hard to deal with in regards to your pet but she is a damn good Doctor who will do everything she possibly can to make you bird better again and in all honesty I believe she did everything and beyond to help Pickles. So I highly recommend For The Birds, and Dr. VanZant, just be aware that she can come off very harsh, and has the disposition of a chair. Quite honestly I'd rather have someone come off harsh but is competent and will do everything in their power to help your pet "and loves your pet" than someone who is very caring twards me but has little knowledge or experience to help. That's my 2 cents, do with it what you will. Like her I did not pull my punches, just spoke the truth. Last things last: again I can't stress how much Dr. VanZant did for Pickles to try to keep him alive. I just wish she would have show a little more compassion for the ones who are grieving while their pets are sick or hurt. It is possible to speak the brutal truth in a compassionate manner.

HEARTBREAKING AND EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE I am…read moreabsolutely devastated by how For the Birds handled the care and communication regarding our beloved 6-year-old female cockatiel, Gutu.About six months ago, Gutu developed an oviduct prolapse and needed surgery. We spent around $4,000 for her surgery, and she remained hospitalized for about two weeks. When we brought her home, she was still extremely weak and could barely stand properly on her legs. We brought her back the following week and repeatedly asked WHY she was not recovering and what was causing her condition.For the next six months, it became the same heartbreaking cycle: hospital for a week or longer, home, then within a short time she would stop eating or become very sick again, and we would rush her back. We repeatedly asked for a clear explanation of why this kept happening, but we never felt we received one. Instead, we often felt blamed. We were told things like maybe we washed her towels with scented soap/detergent or that we brought her in too late when she was almost dying.We spent close to $10,000 trying to save Gutu because she was our baby. Surrendering her to Mickaboo was recommended several times, but we were never ready because we loved her and wanted to continue doing everything possible for her.On July 30, Gutu stopped eating again and we brought her back. After watching her suffer through months of going between home and the hospital, we finally made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her because we believed staying under professional care would give her a better chance to recover. The doctor specifically told us that after surrendering her, WE COULD STILL CALL TO CHECK ON HER AND EVEN COME SEE HER.For the entire following week, my husband and I repeatedly called for updates. My husband's calls were not answered. When I reached the front desk, I was told they didn't know her condition but someone would call me back. Nobody did. The next day, the same thing happened. We also repeatedly texted the number that had previously sent us pictures of Gutu. NO RESPONSE.Finally, today, Friday, August 7, I called again and was told that Gutu had PASSED AWAY WEDNESDAY NIGHT.Nobody called us.For TWO DAYS, our baby was already gone while my husband and I were desperately calling and texting trying to find out how she was doing. We only learned she had died because I continued calling them myself.I understand that veterinarians cannot save every animal, and this review is NOT simply because Gutu passed away. It is about six months of unanswered questions, repeatedly feeling blamed, poor communication, ignored calls/messages, promised callbacks that never happened, and most painfully, failing to tell us that our beloved bird had died.After six years of loving Gutu and spending close to $10,000 trying everything possible to save her, finding out this way was absolutely devastating and unacceptable. Gutu was not "just a bird." She was our family, and we deserved at least the basic compassion and professionalism of being informed when she passed away.

Our Maltese, Lulu, has been a patient of Dr. Mughannam's at Veterinary Vision Animal Eye…read moreSpecialists in San Carlos for over a decade. Our Pug, Bear, and Chihuahua, Iggy, also came in for one visit each. Without doubt, I will firmly say that EACH AND EVERY visit has been quick, informative, and delightful. Yes, that's right, I said it - I have actually enjoyed visiting this office for my dogs to be examined. Service is top notch here. Dr. Mughannam is extremely warm, personable and explanatory. He demonstrates a genuine interest in his patients and will tell you if your fur babies will need to continue with routine check-ups or not. It is evident that he is passionate about his job, working with animals, and talking about all eye and animal topics. We have shared great conversations. Dr. Puma is also very gentle, kind and friendly, especially with patients. In fact, the entire staff is awesome, including their cute office dog. Everyone here is amiable and seems to love their jobs, working with all of the patients that come in, and talking with the pet parents. What more could you ask for from any kind of office? The venue, with plenty of seating in the lobby as well as right outside the entrance door, is also always clean and tidy. Even their restroom is pristine. They also sometimes have a jar or two of treats for doggies. Did I mention their office dog? Such a cutie and the team is always happy to let you say, "Hello." Ample parking is also available in the private lot. I'm not going to lie - fees are not cheap, but you pay for excellent service and genuine care, so it's worth it. If you have a pet in need of vision care, I highly recommend Veterinary Vision in San Carlos.
