    VMA has helped my dog Shadow tremendously. The first visit we saw Dr.Khaler. My dog had injured his ear and Dr. Khaler almost knew what the issue was. With a quick lab work to see if the wound was infected he prescribed medication, cleaned the wound and gave us clear instruction on how to treat his wound in his ear. Within 2 to 3 weeks my dogs ear was good as new. Fast forward to this week and I had to take Shadow in again, hes 10 years old now so its getting harder for him to get up and his hips arent as forgiving as they used to be. Due to covid we had to wait while the doctor looked at shadow inside (sorry forgot the doctors name). The doctor came out and told us that it seems like Shadow has some arthritis going on but would need to do x-rays to determine there arent any other issues. She gave us a few options but wasnt trying to "sell us" which made it better because I can see they care. I took the option where we just take the meds for pain and monitor how he does. Shadow seems to be doing fine now, looks more energetic and doesnt struggle much to get up from laying down. Thank you to all the staff at VMA for treating Shadow like he was also a part of your guys family.

    After struggling for so long to find a knowledgeable and compassionate vet clinic for my rabbit, I am so pleased to have met Dr. Kahler and the rest of the staff at VMA. My rabbit, Biscuit, needed to have one of her eyes removed and they were able to spay her also while she was under anesthesia. Surgery went great and she healed up quickly. I can't say enough great things about everyone working there. I asked tons of questions and they were empathetic and informative in answering them. I won't be taking Biscuit anywhere else!

    I want to thank Dr. Kahler, Dr. Wert and all the staff that has treated my BunBun with such care and love. For our first time visit, they are very welcoming and they really care about animals. My husband and I are sadden that our furbaby has passed the rainbow bridge. The doctor tried his very best to save her but her poor body was too weak to handle it. He was very compassionant with me and my husband when he called about her passing, I'm very grateful for the closure. My BunBun passed with no pain, she's at peace now. I would highly recommend VMA for your beloved pets. They will treat you like family.

    Got us in today on emergency hamster help. Our little guy was going out, we knew that but they took him out of pain & gave him to us right away. Very informative and kind staff. All of them! Thank you guys

    I am so thankful I found this office for my White's Tree Frog, Ducky. If you are in Modesto or the surrounding area (like me), it is well worth the drive to receive outstanding care for your animal. I recently acquired my little frog from a pet store and realized that something was wrong due to her abnormal stool. I was nervous to take her to the vet because she is so tiny and fragile but this office immediately made me feel comfortable. Dr.Kahler is one of the most empathetic, knowledgeable veterinarians I have ever met and he was able to diagnose Ducky and start her on effective treatment. The staff is just as fantastic! Since Ducky's treatment started every single person I have spoken to at this office has been extremely friendly, accommodating, and professional.

    When do you decide that $$$ becomes the issue when your pet is critically ill? Last Sunday took…read moreour two and a half year old dog in as she hadn't "pooped or peed" in 24 hours. Thank goodness I listened to our friend who is a retired veterinarian. Dr. Yu and staff kept me in the loop at all times. Saw her X-ray, stayed with there as they treated her for bladder stones. Surgery was required. Dr. Yu called me at 2 am about his findings and her prognosi. Long story short, she went back and forth from there to regular vet (they are only there from 6pm to 8am) for several days. Another surgery, another 2 am phone call. It has been VERY expensive, but doc was up front about my dog's prognosis. Even though home, Dr. Yu has called several times with information about cultures and medications, and to check on her progress. She is 6 days out now and full of life and pep again. VEC and the kind, competent staff is responsible for her recovery. It got down to how much we were willing/able to pay for this life that totally depends on us. There was much discussion about this but chose to stick it out. FYI if you have a beloved pet, get health insurance. Many thanks to this entire staff!!! New facility so now actually attached to Standiford Vet. Makes several day stay far easier. Same owner, he just combined sites. Not cheap though....

    Whenever we go to the vet, it's usually not for a good reason unless you were just going for shots…read more I unfortunately had to put my dog down a few weeks ago. It was later in the day and Sylvan was the only one who was welcoming and made us an appointment that same day at about 4 PM. On a Saturday. Everyone was very nice when we arrived, and they made the entire process the best it could be under that situation. The staff were really friendly, helpful, and compassionate. Thank you for helping us out, and I would definitely recommend this pet hospital anytime.

    Actually the worst vet. We've been going here for years and before they were all about money, they…read moreactually seemed to care. We took our cat here and did a bunch of tests and he was ok but had some sneezes. Took him in for a follow up bloodwork a few months later and his ALT liver enzyme was over 600. We saw doctor Pam who recommended shots and a CT scan as "top line treatment" because immediately they thought it was a congenial issue. Spent money on the Ct scan and it was negative but his liver enzymes were still going up. NOT ONCE did they start any treatment but they sure did run more tests. All negative and NOT ONCE did doctor Pam recommend any type of plan other than a $5000 invasive biopsy on our 1 year old cat. The enzymes went up over 1000 and I went online and found out info about steroids on my own since nothing was being done and asked Doctor Pam, who insisted we HAVE to do a biopsy and she had the nerve to say steroids might inflame his liver and it would be too much to give him steroids...but a full liver biopsy is fine? Ok. We got a second opinion and this new vet who actually cares about animals over money started him on an empirical treatment immediately and now his liver enzymes are back to normal a month and a half later...with a steroid called Prednisolone that bypasses the liver anyway. I feel so frustrated. For one, I'm mad she didn't even try to start him on anything, no treatment plan at all cuz they knew we loved this baby and would pay to help him. They messed with our vulnerability. For two, we paid a ton of money thinking we were trusting someone who actually cared, and for three and maybe the most aggravating and upsetting part, we put our little cat through so much and so many treatments because THIS VET told us it was needed it...and almost put him through a biopsy for no reason. Shame on you and the whole practice for valuing money over animals. Go to a vet who actually cares. Doctor Pam and this horrible place only care about your money and not your babies. Never again. The only thing they did do was help us with insurance because God knows they want their money. Unbelievable. Go to Village Oak or Waterford Vet or Animal Medical instead of this money hungry practice. We are lucky we actually still even have our little baby after this.
