I wish I could give 0 stars due to the shear behavior of Dr. Sutfin although the receptionists were…read morevery nice and professional. I called for a simple trich test on a bull. First of all, he was 40 minutes late. Next, as he steps from his truck was complaining about how much of a waste of time this is. He finally walked over whilst complaining the whole time. He gave about two minutes of patience, he then said "you have five minutes before I leave" (mind you less than 10 minutes have passed). The bull was also contained to a small pen at this time and had to simply be ran through a head gate. Three minutes go by and he says "let's call it a day". He obviously did not want to be there. I don't know how this guy stays in business with that attitude, perhaps from the fact that he charges $75 just to show up and give lip for 15 minutes.

My husband said to the woman at the front that wasn't what he was told, she then said "are we gunna do this?" Went back came back and only charged 186.00 where in the world did the extra 200 come from she gave a reason but the math still didn't math.. the woman in front needs a reality check.

Very upsetting experience for my wife today. Tried to have an ancient cat, euthanized. The poor…read morecat is suffering with biting seizures/dementia, atrophied hindquarters, little bladder control, and obvious pain behavior and frequent yowling. The animal seized last weekend, and bit our daughter, leaving a deep wound. After we decided, and went through the emotional part of this process, their vet refused to euthanize. Instead, we were given a handout on keeping the cat comfortable. In all my years, I have never experienced, or heard of such a refusal. I guess the vet knows better, than the family who has lived nearly 18 years, with the cat. Needless to say we will no longer be bringing any of our pets to this clinic. I really dislike leaving a bad review, but to imagine another pet owner having to go through something like this is just appalling.

Warm and inviting! I am grateful I was able to get in because it's a welcoming atmosphere.

Less than a week later we realized that it was time. We called CCAH and set up an appointment. They got us in that day. We entered the room and there were some nice candles and music playing. The staff were all fantastic. Dr. Bettencourt took our girl back to get an IV in and to sedate her. He came back carrying her in his arms and gently laid her down on the table. She was in no pain. They gave us all the time we needed and then injected her. She went quietly and quickly. We were given all the time we needed after she was gone and then we left. We were given the options of what to do with her body and made our choice. So sad for us but she is not in pain now. (This time was in stark contrast to another time with another vet that didn't us sedation. Our dog ran around until she died. Not a pretty sight.) Thank you Chico Creek Animal Hospital and Dr. Bettencourt and his aids for your compassion.

Despite my apprehensions we had such a lovely experience from start to finish. One of the main critiques of VCA is the price, and yes it was expensive, but honestly for the convenience it really wasn't bad. $350 deposit to be seen immediately, but after that all of the medical personnel were very friendly and accommodating to our budget, they didn't attempt to push tests and were very apparent about costs. They even gave us tips to save money (ie buying Pepcid from the pharmacy instead of buying directly from them) Overall a positive experience, and my baby boy is home happy which is all that matters

That decision saved his life. Zack has some unique medical challenges, and I knew going in this might not be straightforward. Dr. Wilson took the time to fully assess him, consulted with UC Davis, and came back with a clear, workable plan while still giving me options. I never felt rushed or pushed in one direction. The entire team was incredible. They encouraged me to visit, kept me updated morning and night, and I always knew how Zack was doing. I could tell he was being cared for not just medically, but emotionally. He's a very social cat, and it meant a lot to know he wasn't alone back there. What stood out most to me was how much everyone genuinely cared about him. One of the staff at the front desk told me she wished she could just go back and cuddle him all day, and when I spoke with one of the doctors later, she mentioned that people had been asking about him and wanted to know how he was doing. That meant more to me than I can say. Emergency vet care is expensive and stressful, and I know that's where a lot of negative reviews come from. But in my experience, this team was compassionate, skilled, and deeply invested in my cat's outcome. Zack is home now, recovering and very much himself again. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Wilson and the entire team.
