Woodcrest Vet has been one of my favorite vets to go to for my animals. Yesterday I had to take my Charlie boy in for an ear infection. Charlie was being extremely difficult as he does not like strangers. They had to sedate my dog in order to clean his ears out and give him a shot. Even though Charlie was not being a good boy for them, they took their time with Charlie. A big shout out for Flora the tech, they she was great with Charlie. I would highly recommend this vet for all your animals. read more

A wonderful, caring experience. We had to euthanize our cat, and the nurses created the most supporting environment, making both my daughter and her cat very comfortable. Nothing felt rushed. The doctor was thorough and thoughtful. She went through a full due diligence, making sure she understood the cat's circumstances and outlining any prospective options. She was also very kind and caring. Once the decision was confirmed, they allowed my daughter all the time she wanted both before and then after the procedure. When all was said and done they allowed us to leave via a back way so we didn't have to walk through the busy lobby with an empty carrier and tearful emotions. Going forward Woodcrest Veterinary Clinic is going to be our go to. They absolutely care. read more

READ UPDATE AFTER THIS! Took my 7 year old cat Mamas yesterday for a mammary gland tumor mass removal and everything went well. The doctor was very transparent and explained the procedure very thoroughly. Now Im hoping for a full recovery. Stitching is to be removed in 2 weeks and I will update this review if anything changes. UPDATE: After spending over $2500 at Woodcrest I would expect more. I went to get my cats stitches removed 2 weeks post surgery. They informed me that her tumors were growing back after only taking her back for 5 minutes. They sent me home by telling me they couldn't do anything about her condition (stage 3 cancer) which I understand but her surgery incision was not fully healed because according to them her cancerous skin would not heal well. My concern is that they still took out the stitches without prescribing antibiotics and almost no more advice for what I should do. I had to practically ask about everything, usually I expect experts to explain next steps especially for something so big if they are professional or even care about their patients. I felt very rushed, confused and emotionally distraught. There was no talk about a follow up appointment or advice on what I should do next, just a receipt. I went to another veterinary for a second opinion and they were disappointed that this clinic practically pushed me out the door and they were even appalled that they would send me home without antibiotics. She has an infection now that was completely preventable. At first I was very happy with the service here but I am disappointed on the lack of support and commitment towards their patients. Pets are more than just animals to owners they are part of the family. Just because my cat has terminal cancer and an estimated life expectancy doesn't mean she and me deserve to be discarded like that. read more

I received the most compassionate and incredible care here for my baby, Bentley. Woodcrest vet saved him a couple times when he fell into heart failure, the third time, I decided to put him to sleep. It was the hardest decision of my life, but the doctors and staff at Woodcrest vet walked me through this very painful moment with compassion and care. I just received a letter in the mail with my Bentley's paw print and nose print, and it instantly made me sob. I wasn't expecting it at all, and I'm so so so grateful that they sent me this. I will cherish it forever. Thank you, to everyone who works at this facility, from the bottom of my heart. I recommend them to everyone. read more

Still waiting- I had a 11am appointment and all the dog needed was a rabies shot. It's noon and I'm still waiting. I typically take them to Kahoots for shots as it's quick and less expensive- Here dog " needed" a vet examine first- To tell me what I already know. He's fine. I hate hurrying to be here then waiting to be seen. read more

Many blessings to this clinic. Tiana was such a breath of fresh air. You can really tell that she loves the animals and they love her too. She ensured that both me and my dog were well taken care of at all stages. Blessings to Tiana. I will be coming back here as long as she is there. read more

Over a week ago, my sister and I were at Woodcrest Veterinary Clinic because our dog was very ill. We had to make the hardest decision and put her to sleep. The staff was sooo great.. they were so patient, so empathetic. We never felt rushed. The vet explained everything very clearly. I regretted so much not being able to take home her little paw print to remember my baby with. Today I opened my mail and I received a personalized letter with her stamp of her paw print and little nose. Woodcrest Veterinary Clinic , thank you so much for being there for my girl on more than one occasion. And a very special thank you to Flora. Thank you for taking care of all of us during our hardest time read more

Woodcrest Vet is great and I highly recommend them. I was looking for a vet due to my pug possibly having an injury. My original vet said they couldn't get me in for a week! Woodcrest got me in that day, treated the pug, and was very professional. We stated using them as our primary vet. I have a retired working dog (13ur old Mal) who started having medical issues this year. Woodcrest Vet was always available and took great care of Rocco while he was there. Unfortunately the time came where we had to make a decision. The entire staff was phenomenal while we were there. They treat Rocco and us with compassion and respect. Our visit was followed up with a card from the staff. The way the staff treats every animal that cones through the door, you can tell they truly care about the pets. We never had to wait more than 30-45 minutes for our appt. I read some reviews complaining about the wait. Unfortunately they can't predict walk ins, but I feel they do their best to get everyone in. To sum this review up, I HIGHLY recommend Woodcrsst Vet. They took phenomenal care of Rocco and our other dogs, and I look forward to more years with them. read more

Yesterday I brought my old girl honey , who unfortunately passed away she never been a patient in this clinic before and they took her in for cremation at the very last minute, the compassion the employees and the doctor had was excellent, I found comfort knowing she was in good hands, and to the doctor who did a quick examination after her passing to let me know what happened, thank you will definitely recommend this vet to anyone and will be bringing my old boy Loui here soon read more

Woodcrest Vet has taken great care of my pets. I feel like everyone there is so friendly and conscientious.

My husband and I drive from San Bernardino to this vet because we absolutely love them! We have an English Bulldog who is always in need of attention due to his allergies. Dr. Saini & Dr. Pawar have helped us tremendously with our bulldog when it came to his allergies and his Cherry eye removal surgery. The front desk ladies are wonderful and treat my bulldog with so much love and care. - when it is check up time, the vet and vet technicians always pay close attention to our boy! As for waits, we have never have an issue. We are typically seen maybe 5-10 minutes after check in? PLUS we have had emergencies or needed to see a vet quickly (like within a few days) and they always have availability where as other vets had wait times for a couple weeks out for a simple check up. - all in all, Woodcrest Vet is an amazing clinic for your animals. Never once had a problem and also love their payment plan!! Nothing but wonderful things to say. read more

We were recommended to this clinic by friends who've had good experiences here. Unfortunately, the wait times are rather long with no updates regarding when we'll even be called back (running 45 min behind and counting). It's understandable if a place of business is running behind, but giving updates would be helpful when this type of situation occurs. Once we were pulled back, we have to admit it was one of the best experiences we've had. The vet took his time with our dog, and the vet tech was very gentle and attentive as well. We will continue to get our care here for our pets.. read more

I have always taken all my dogs here. Even now when I have to drive in from Canyon Lake!

My dog ingested insecticide, I called another vet completely panicking because I can't afford 1,000's of dollars to get her treated. The other vet told me I'd have to pay $90 for poison control to confirm the name of the product she ingested and tell them the ingredients and how to treat it and the. Another $500-$600 to come up with a treatment plan and even MORE to actually treat her. I was hopeless but I decided to try again and I contacted Woodcrest veterinary clinic. The women(an angel) who I spoke to was very understanding and got straight to the point. She asked me if I was looking to get her treated or try some home remedies and hope it works. I told her I wasn't in the position to pay 100's or 1,000's to have her treated so she got right to it and asked me my puppies age and weight and the name of the insecticide. After consulting with a colleague she came back and told me that the spray my puppy licked was human and pet safe and that hopefully she would be okay and to offer her plenty of water and fresh air and the urgent symptoms to look for at which point I'd have to take her in. They gave me hope when others saw an opportunity to charge me an absurd amount to just look at her and tell me if she needed treatment or not. My puppy is doing great, she's back to her normal playful self. I now have pet insurance for my pup and I will definitely be using them as our primary vet! You can sense the actual desire to help and their concern for their patients and their families. read more

I'm a first time pet owner of a 3 year old cat. He's never had any issues until recently. I brought him into the emergency vet and they ruled out his issues as non-emergency and I only had to wait about an hour for him to be seen, despite not having an appointment. The staff in its entirety were so kind and tried to ease my anxiety as much as they could. Their pricing was super reasonable. As a first time owner, I thought every vet visit would be $500+ but was pleasantly surprised when that wasn't the case. They took preventative X-rays, ultrasounds, and stool sampling just to be sure. I will definitely return in the future. My boy is happy and healthy now read more

Thank you for taking care of my Henry again. And thank you for staying open with no electricity!

We started using this vet several years ago when our dog was having a minor issue and our previous vet could not make an appointment until 4 weeks out! In the past two years we have had two emergencies. First, our 12 pound dog was mauled by a pit bull. Very upsetting. This clinic patched him up and took great care of him. More recently, our other dog suddenly became paralyzed. From there, her medical problems escalated quickly, and it was truly a nightmare. I was scared, and sad, and overwhelmed. The staff and vets at Woodcrest could not have been more kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. When things became untenable, Dr. Howard helped us say goodbye to our beloved girl. I am grateful to this clinic for helping us navigate a very emotionally difficult journey. I drive half an hour to get to this vet, because they are the best vet in town! read more

I want to give zero stars. Moved to Woodcrest 22 years ago and we tried this business out then.... not only were they expensive, rude and unprofessional, like.....Fast forward to today, January 6, 2023, after finding a puppy in the rain, maybe 10 pounds. We decided we would help it out, get it fixed and shots and take it from there. She put me on hold and came back with a quote of $640...is this why we have such a problem with people dumping animals off anywhere? I would say it's a large contributor. Extremely sad! read more

First rate. Always a great experience/care for our dog and cats! Great staff and expert care.

My dog has been suffering with epilepsy for 3 years now. As most of us did, we got a puppy 2020 during the whole COVID lock downs, after about 8 months it was time to get her spayed and we took her here out of convince. The family right before us seemed to be crying as if they had to put down their dog, we think that the room where she was taken in had to have not been cleaned correctly, she got distemper from this place, the only place she had ever been due to the lock down in that time span, post getting puppy vaccinations else where. Thousands of dollars later and it's still a reoccurring problem we will have to deal with for the rest of her life. Sorry, kind of weird to make this review so many years later, but her seizures have been getting progressively worse lately and I can't help but think how different her life would be if we never took her here... read more

Improper sanitary practices!! My girlfriend's dog has been suffering from seizures since she got her spayed here. She had taken her during covid when everyone was quarantining so she hadn't been exposed to anywhere else... they have two dogs from the same litter whom went to the same places and the only difference was this vet. read more

Do not ever take your pet here. I brought my dog here Tuesday after she was not eating and had lost a significant amount of weight. They diagnosed her with diabetes. Dr.Pawer suggested she stay in the hospitals for the day to receive insulin, nausea medication, and to be hydrated. We left her there for the day and picked her up Tuesday night. That night she refused to eat and was lathargic. We took her back to the Woodcrest Veterinary Clininc Wednesday morning. We explained she was not eating and blood is dripping from her mouth when we give her the medicine they prescribed. They suggested hospitalizing her again. We decide to leave her there again, this is day two of hospitalization. When we picked her up that night and she was worse than the day prior and the vet said it was all normal and nothing to be worried about. She had no energy, refused to eat, and all she wanted to do was sleep. He also said not to bring her back for the next three days and just do what they say which is force feeding her and giving her insulin twice a day which i did everything they said and monitored her 24/7. Thursday morning she is absolutely lifeless barely hanging on. She couldn't move, her tounge was hanging out from her mouth from dehydration, she was vommiting. We called the vet again, now for the third day in a row. Dr. S said she may have a stomach blockage, inflammation or a mass. He said that she may need X-rays and they wouldn't be able to do those until the following day. That maybe I should take her to a emergency vet. We decided it was time to switch vets and we went to the Corona emergency hospital. She was barely breathing, and could not stand up. When we walked in with her, they took her went back immediately because she was in cardiac distress. Our little doggie passed away less than 30 mins after we walked into the emergency vet, less than 24 hours after leaving the Woodcrest Veterinary Clinic. I have a strong feeling if I took her to the emergency vet first or if woodcrest had been honest with me and said she needed 24/7 care which they can't provide, my dog would still be alive. I'm posting this so this doesn't happen to anyone else. Additionally, Woodcrest Veterinary Clinic claimed to be hydrating her for 2 days but not even 24 hours later she was so dehydrated she died. Something is not adding up here and I lost my best friend because of their negligence. I took her to the vet and paid nearly 2k all for my dog to die. After Wednesday they told me to not bring her in for 3 more days because her behavior is normal. She didn't even make it one day after leaving their vet. Every day she got progressively worse and every time i picked her up i saw the life slowly but surely sucked out of her, but i TRUSTED the vet. Do not go here if you want to see your dog again. When people go to the vet they expect the vet to take care of their dog not have them get progressively worse and worse. In addition to this, they put you on hold forever, the vet didn't return my call and when I called back, the receptionist told me he was at lunch now. My dog died that day!!! read more

I unfortunately had to make the hard decision for my baby girl to cross the rainbow bridge. This vet was the sweetest during the hardest time. They gave her a last treat, I was able to have my family in there and our other dog so he could say his goodbyes. They even mailed a personalized card with her paw prints in the mail and everyone signed it that worked there. I'm appreciative! read more

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with this place. I took my dog for a problem he had regarding his mouth a few days prior to my last visit. He was seen by the doctor and we followed his recommendations. My dog was very sick and was supposed to have surgery after his antibiotic treatment. Naturally, I had a couple questions for the doctor before the surgery. They had me sitting in the lobby for a long time and I asked the front desk how much longer it was going to take. She responded, with an attitude, that the doctor was not there and she didn't know what time he was going to get there. The other two receptionist were also very rude. They had no friendly expressions and I felt like I was bothering them. Another patient even approached and asked me if I was OK because she noticed how uncomfortable I was. I figured since the doctor was still not in, I was going to go back home because the atmosphere was horrible. I asked if they could please call me when the doctor got there. The vet, or staff, has yet to return my call to this day. I am not sure if I was judged by my appearance but I am a paying customer that needed medical attention for my incredibly ill dog. I ended up taking my dog to another vet because of the lack of communication and professionalism from this establishment. I'm glad that the surgery did not happen at this facility as I was feeling nervous about the cleanliness, or lack thereof. My pets are an integral part of our family and this place treated us awfully. If you also care for your pets, I would not recommend this establishment at all. read more

This clinic has been fantastic in taking care of of my furbabies. My pup has had ongoing GI issues and the staff is always able to get us in very quickly if not same day. Dr. Saini was great in easing my worries and explaining treatment plans. Most recently, Dr. Mann saw us to go over some bloodwork indicating my dog had mild pancreatitis. He answered my 101 questions and spent a considerable amount of time in the room with me explaining her blood work and next steps. Ultimately, we decided on a new diet plan for my girl. I felt very supported in making this decision with Dr. Mann. I asked about the balanceIT supplement and Dr. Mann was already very familiar and was able to better explain it to me. The office also approved my request to order it within days. I will continue bringing my babies here as the staff is just fantastic. My pup is excited to see the girls and everyone else who happens to be in the waiting room at that. My cat, Felix comes far less frequently. He is handled very gently and is actually at ease in the exam rooms. I would recommend Woodcrest Vet Clinic to anyone looking for a new vet! read more

I've been debating to post my review for the past year because I wanted to see if the bad reviews were right. Although, majority of the reviews are based on other patients experience, I would pay closely to your own experience and keep the other reviews in mind. However, I would like to start off and say thank you to Dr Mann, Dr Pawar, and their amazing staff for seeing my big goof ball, Dhino on such short notice. We recently moved to Woodcrest from Orange County and have had exceptional care from our old vet therefore, I wanted to find another doctor just as experienced, with the compassion for his patients, and love for the job. Thankfully, I've found two Veterinarians!! WHAT A BONUS!!! When we had an incident where we thought our dog ate ant poisoning, I immediately drove to the nearby clinics within 3 miles radius of our home and I stumbled and thankfully got an emergency appointment made with Woodcrest Veterinarian Clinic. Due to the severity of our situation, I didn't care what price we had to pay to see what was wrong with dhino. When we were able to finally get in to see dr Mann, he put my stress to ease because results indicated that dhino basically had a bad stomachache from eating wood branches on our ranch and possibly flu from birds. This was quite astonishing because our neighbors have a turkey nest and chickens near our dog run and we have been noticing that their chickens have been disappearing slowly. Could be a coincidence but better to be safe than sorry. The second situation, we noticed that dhino had developed a mass on his lower abdomen area where Dr Pawar said could be carcinogenic due to the size of the mass but told me not to worry because lighter belly colored dogs such as my bluenose pit bull are more likely to develop due to increase sun exposure. This was considerable because dhino loves laying out in the sun and his activities of patrolling our property is his daily routine. Dr. Pawar prescribed antibiotics and other medication for Dhino which seemed to shrink the mass size by double and I (not experienced) believed it would heal on his own. But I was wrong and the mass actually got bigger than the original size and I consequently scheduled his mass removal surgery 6 months later. March 8, 2023 we dropped off Dhino to his surgery in which he was well taken care of and the site of surgery was done phenomenally. We're on day 1 of his post-care and cannot thank Woodcrest Veterinary Clinic enough. Both times, both doctors and staff showed an exceptional display of professionalism, compassion, and empathy for myself and their patient, Dhino. I think we've found our family veterinarians at WVC. read more

I went here as my puppies first vet to get his initial shots/ check up. A year later I needed a refill on his bravecto medicine ( to prevent ticks and fleas). They told me I needed another yearly check up just to get the meds refilled. So I took my dog for another costly checkup, turns out the POWER WAS OFF IN THE WHOLE PLACE. The doctor did the check up in the dark, very half ass looked at my dog with a flash light, he also got follow up shots. A few weeks later, they called me saying he's due for the shots he just obtained. So their records were wrong due to the outage apparently. This vet charged me for a full check up when the power was out and I requested to not pay full price since it was nothing short of a peak with a flash light in the dark. They still charged me full price. Would not recommend this vet. They should have just closed the day of their power outage instead of accepting animals and charging full price for something that wasn't done. I will be reporting this facility to the state. read more

I get times are difficult with no one wanting to work. But, come on. If doctors really were "not showing up" like the office staff tells people walking in, they would go out of business. DONT EVER TAKE YOUR PET HERE. Even the reviews on Facebook are scary. I see them all the time in our Woodcrest pages. My dog was hurting and I wanted to get her help quick so even knowing what we did, we went here and they lived up to their reputation. Go here instead: Arlington Animal Hospital Butchko Animal Emergency Clinic-Grand Terrance read more

Very bad service, unprofessional, please don't bring your pet here , rude, not really clear about the billls, over charged

I took my beloved Yuki in for a checkup after days being in and out of emergency vet hospitals. He had an enlarged heart and had what they thought was to be an autoimmune disorder but not 100% Yuki was suffering so Dr. Mann and I decided it was time to let him go. They helped me pick out an urn for my baby and they did not rush us. The staff let us take our time in saying goodbye to my baby. They were very wonderful helping us. I wish I got the other techs names so I can add their names here too but unfortunately I didn't. They got his ashes back in less than a week when it was estimated to take up to a month so I was very grateful. They sent me a personalized card in the mail a few weeks later which was really nice of them. I would recommend this place to everyone. Wonderful staff and a nice environment. ‍ read more

Do I get annoyed at times while I am waiting to be seen for my scheduled appointment time, absolutely, I'm human. However, I have also experienced the benefit of their office fitting in my pup as an emergency when we weren't able to see his regular vet. Our vet we had gone to for years would just tell us they are busy and go to urgent care. We have also benefitted from longer than usual appt times, when our pups had a lot going on or we needed more time to ask questions. The techs we have seen are skilled, knowledgeable, and know our dogs. There is a lot to be said about that level of care. Their prices seem to be fair and transparent, when comparing to our previous vet, we found to be less than what we were previously paying. It's always interesting to see when people post about cost and prices. We live in a digital world and looking up the cost of things is pretty easy. But the reality is no one wants to have to pay, but things cost money. So thankful for Dr. Mann and his staff for caring for our furry family. read more

Took my great dane there was told her tail would heal with stitches, it did NOT HEAL! It got worse. Spent over $1100 with a 850 surgery then meds upon meds for 8 weeks!!! My beautiful girl was scared everytime we headed toward their door! Took her to real professionals at VCA, Corona. They were kind, compassionate and professional. I'll never go back to WoodCrest Vet and their messed up Dr.(s) By the way, the people listed on their website do NOT work there. If you love your fur babies like we do, do NOT go to Woodcrest Vet. read more

Im beyond let down with this clinic. We've been going here for as long as i can remember with multiple pets for 15+ years when it was under Dr. Anderson. I had taken her in for a check up on two raised spots and nail trimming this Saturday. Botched is the only way to put it. I could hear her squealing from the front which should've been my first sign. I understand she doesn't like getting her nails clipped but what dog does? Her feet are so sensitive and i feel terrible for subjecting her to that. I specifically made a point to take her in so that someone with more experience can take care of her toes. If i wanted a botched job i could've attempted myself. Which i made that clear to the tech during the first 10 mins in the room. Save your pups the discomfort and find a different practice. There is nothing anyone from this establishment can say to change my opinion or her experience. 0/10 i do not recommend. read more

We had gone to Lincoln Plaza Vet Clinic for many years, but things changed horribly once they lost their awesome Dr. Alice. I had taken my furbabies to Woodcrest for many years previously when I lived closer to the clinic and we recently took our beloved Roadie boy there when his body started to fail him and we knew it was time for him to cross the rainbow bridge... The entire staff at Woodcrest was phenomenal, caring, and oh so patient and gave us all the time we needed with him in his final minutes. We now had to take our Allie girl there also for a lump on her leg and again, the staff was just amazing. Got to give huge props to Olivia, who took the time and showed me step-by-step how to bandage her leg correctly and even let me videotape it so I would know I was doing it correctly at home. I so appreciate the extra time she took to allow me to watch and learn. The entire staff truly cares about your furbaby's well-being, and health and also on how their owners are feeling. I also love that you don't have to wait weeks out for an appointment!!!! Thank you Woodcrest crew! read more
