My beloved cat of 17 years was in bad shape (no thanks to Park Animal Hospital, long story) and had to be euthanized. Yosemite Pet Hospital was very kind from the start. I was allowed to be with my Sasha until she passed, and I was allowed to stay with her for a little while after (so I could be sure that her spirit attached to me). My cat came to me in a dream that night and she is happy, she is with me. Thank you Dr. Madrazo and all the staff for your support. This hospital is very nice. Their examination room has a big window which looks out onto their beautiful garden area. (4 days after): Thank you to all of you at Yosemite Pet Hospital for the card and all the kind words. That was so thoughtful! read more

Caring and professional. Always takes great care of her and they're very thorough. We wouldn't trust our Norma with anyone else :)

Our 8 yr old female maltipoo who was a rescue at 11 months old has been under the care of Dr, Madroza for about 5 years . She has helped her through several health conditions and a surgery and she is feeling great at 8 yrs. I can't say enough about the caring staff that calls her by name when we enter the clinic. They are so loving to her even when she was young and had to wear a "party hat" --she had outgrown all that now. Thank you to everyone at the clinic. read more

Avoid this scammy vet at all costs. They charge at least 30% more than other vets in town. They push unnecessary tests and procedures (they have a woman call and patronizingly say "your baby" over and over to try to milk money out of you). I took my 2 year old indoor cat in for a simple infection in Nov. One day and $2050 later, she's on antibiotics. She's better... then dead two days later. I called them to get answers. Of course they had the "your baby" girl call me back to try to milk more money out of me. The fake concern was honestly insulting. I ended up having to take her to another vet (wonderful staff at Mountainview) and she had to immediately be put down... 3 days after leaving Yosemite Pet Hospital. Stay away from this place if you want to keep your pet alive and not go broke. read more

My parent didn't want me to cause any issues but I couldn't stop thinking about this for months. They took their dog here for shots and she came back with horrific bruising all over her stomach. She is a dog that's extremely hyper so I can see her being hard to deal with but there is no exception to causing this level of bruising on an animal as a professional. Do not take your pets here if you care about them. The picture included is weeks after it happened when I came to visit. read more

We took our dog to Dr. Madrazo for the last year and a half of his life after moving to the area. She and the team helped us navigate his declining heart condition until the end. Like others here, Dr. M and I didn't always agree on the amount of testing and medication (I consistently opted for less), but after initially sensing pushback, I found her accepting of our decisions. When it came time to decide on euthanasia Dr. M was gentle and supportive, not pushing us in one direction or another, but offering her observations of other clients in similar situations. Vet techs and front staff were always courteous and professional. We've had experience (albeit limited) with another vet in the area and found the costs comparable between both practices. 4-stars as scheduled visits consistently involved a 15-30 minute wait beyond the appointment time to be seen. read more

My husband took our 20+ year old cat in today to be euthanized. She has been failing and not eating for a couple days. Today she was not able to stand. She has been seen at Yosemite Pet Hospital previously. Dr. Madrazo agreed that it was time to euthanize her. Shocked to learn that our cost for the service was $661.50. That included a $6.50 senior citizen discount! So generous. We used an emergency vet hospital in a neighboring city and paid under $200 for the same service for our dog. Very disappointed and frankly angry to be charged that much. Will never use Dr Madrazo's services again and will never recommend Yosemite Pet hospital. In fact, I will advise people to look elsewhere for vet services. read more

I am grateful for the wonderful staff at Yosemite Pet Hospital. I've taken two of my dogs for check-ups and when it's been an emergency and they have helped my dogs out. Dr. Kissel has been super helpful and definitely see how much she wants to help my dogs out with various options and gives solutions. The only negative I can say now is, they are not open on the weekends. Just recently my dog was popping a lot if blood. I called them on short notice they said they would see if the Doctor would be able to assist me because she was with her last patient. I called again and was told that I had to bring her another time because she had to leave. But then, they came through, they called and gave me medication for my dog which helped her a lot. I was so grateful that they still managed to assist us. Do I definitely recommend this pet hospital! read more

Avoid this vet at ALL COSTS. I've worked in the veterinary field for 8 years all over southern and Northern California, at Emergancy hospitals all the way down to tiny private one doctor hospitals and I have NEVER come across such an unorganized and terrible office. They do NOT care about the well being of your pets they are simply in the business of money. They do not return your phone calls, your emails, or your prescription fill requests for WEEKS letting your pet SUFFER and then do all they can to gouge you for money. I am absolutely DISGUSTED with this practice and their lack of compassion and care for animals. Do not bring your loved ones here. read more

I've been there one time and won't be going anywhere else. What an awesome Vet and support staff. I went to Yosemite for the first time last Tuesday where Dr. Madrazo spent a significant amount of time talking to me and diagnosing my girl, Mila. She knew things were serious but kept things calm, gave me no false hopes while at the same time being full of empathy and comfort. Her techs and front desk staff are fantastic as well. Costs are very similar to what I have experienced elsewhere, maybe even a bit less. I am not sure if they would have spent as much time if my pet wasn't so serious. But then I would not expect them to, if the pet is healthy. In addition when Dr. Madrazo called me back to follow up on test results - she spoke to me for over 20 mins going over the results and options. I ended up having to take my pup to ER on Friday, where unfortunately we had to euthanize her, but all of Dr. Madrazo's initial diagnosis' were confirmed there. Office space is super neat and clean and they have plenty of parking. She is definitely my new vet going forward and I highly highly recommend her. read more

Horrible experience here. I have 4 dogs and have been going to Park Animal Hospital to see Dr. Hanna for years. Sadly he is no longer there a d I needed to find a new Vet. My dog was having trouble pooping so I took her to see Dr Madrazo ( who never came out to say hi) bottom line - she needed her anal glands drained - but the vet tech called me in my car and quoted $1,200 Come on! They pad the Bill, recommend tests you don't need, and care only about how much money they can get out of you. Impersonal and uncaring. Will never go back and still looking for an honest Vet read more

Such a wonderful experience at Yosemite pet hospital the staff so wonderful Dr Madrazo fantastic with little Bella knowledgeable my new found vet and staff read more

Took my cats here last year for a routine exam because it was nearby. The doctor and staff were knowledgeable. The pricing was average. However, it seemed to me like they just wanted to do extra tests so they could bill me for more services. One of my cats has FIV. They wanted me to get yearly blood tests for both my cats because of this, even though I already know he's positive and it really wouldn't make any difference to the care action plan. What's the point of confirming something you already know over and over again, except to line your pockets? Even if my other cat got FIV (unlikely), a blood test wouldn't change the care unless they got sick. Then I called when my cat had an emergency in the middle of a weekday and they said they couldn't do anything that day. I ended up having to take my cat to another place to put her down. They don't seem to be very readily available and I don't trust them not to push unnecessary tests on me. Will drive further for something better for my other cat. read more

My doggo Zulu LOVES going to see his friends at Yosemite Pet Hospital. He's been a regular patient since his adoption from the Camarillo Shelter in April 2019. He has digestive issues and skin allergies, not to mention that bout of giardia. So yeah, Dr. Lissel and the wonderful staff know Zulu pretty well. I'm so grateful for their consistently kind attention and patience for Zulu, who is a happy, rambunctious pitbull. Dr. Lissel always gives plenty of time to discuss concerns and possible treatments. The techs are so friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Zulu gets totally excited when they come out to get him from the car, like it's a playdate! Because of Covid protocols, we drop off Zulu and are called when he's ready to be picked up. This works out well for running errands or grabbing something to eat in the meantime. I have total confidence in the care provided for my Zulu bear. Dr. Lissel thoroughly answers questions I might have about whether he needs a certain treatment, vaccine, or supplement. She and the vet techs (special shout-out to Keny!) really know their stuff. I love the staff there because they're just as attentive and will always communicate my concerns to Dr. Lissel. Ultimately, it's up to me to approve or decline recommendations, as well as to research all treatments Zulu-related, at least until I can teach my sweet boy to Google on his own. But it's also good to know I have a solid partnership with his vet and the staff. Zulu gives them 5 stars! read more

if you want a guilt trip for not agreeing to pay exorbitant fees for unnecessary tests and products, this is your place. Every time I left Yosemite pet hospital I felt like a bad pet owner (from the vibe they put off toward me after declining multiple services offered) and yet, I would still walk away paying between $200 - 300 depending upon the visit and no result. I had 2 appointments with them before I decided to change vets. read more

As a senior citizen who has always been a dog and horse lover, I have had several dogs (large and small), horses, and the occasional cat, over the years so I have had occasion to utilize several veterinarians. Some Vets were very good, some good, and, sadly, a couple were less than one would hope for. Luckily for my two senior Labs I discovered Yosemite Pet Hospital and Dr. Lissel Madrazo ("Dr. Lissel"). Dr. Lissel, and the entire staff are far and away the most caring, knowledgeable, thorough, and communicative medical professionals I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They are the optimum example of what anyone could hope for when the health of their four-legged family members are at stake. I would, without hesitation, recommend Yosemite Pet Hospital to anyone who wants to insure that their pets get only the best care. Thank you, Dr. Lissel, and the entire staff at Yosemite Pet Hospital. read more

my two pups, baybe and boomer got into a fight this morning with a HUGE raccoon on my patio. Boomer was unscathed. But baybe was a MESS. She has four puncture wounds and abrasions across her chest and body. Her eye was seriously hurt and obviously, she was shaken and terrified. The team is amazing kept me calm and we're amazing with my puppies. I love the entire demeanor of the staff and the friendly kind service. I will always come back to this location. the Vet was amazing and did such thorough work with Baybe. Shout out to the fantastic team at Yosemite pet hospital who did such a tremendous job for my fur babies! I cannot thank you enough! read more

this clinic is around the corner from our house which is the reason we have gone here multiple times. initially, we were put off by the constant attempts to upsell us each time we brought a dog in. Charging us for items we didn't ask for and billing us for things that didn't make sense. Recently, we brought our dog in for vaccines and the way the puppy was treated and the way my wife was treated will prevent us from ever returning. i am sure the doctor is competent but I will find another Veterinarian that can treat my dog and my family with more respect. read more

I am completely disappointed with this place. Do not take your pet here! This place is overpriced : expensive office visits, lab tests and unnecessary tests. They ran many tests to rack my bill. And all she had was a UTI. It was last month I took my 5 year old cat for a simple urinary issue (UTI) and they charged me $1000. For an abdomen X/R they charged me $407, Blood work $217 and Urinary test $270. They also ran a Cardiac Blood test to check her heart health without my permission for the amount of $80! My cat is very healthy and does not have a heart issue. read more

The first day I took my Nala girl in as a puppy, Dr Madrazo walk in the exam room and immediately sat on the ground to examine her, rather than putting her on the examination table. I've never met a vet so caring. I also like the fact that Dr. Madrazo calls me with results instead of the nurses. She also does not push extra exams if not needed to make money. 4 yrs later, I still feel the care from the staff when I walk in. read more

We had great experience with Dr. Medrazo. I had opportunity to re-visit this practice, as my Frenchie was having an issue with her sight. In previous visits, under different ownership, I did not feel I got the same attention as Dr. Medrazo gave in a single visit. I even got a follow up call to see how a referral visit had gone with a specialist, as Dr Medrazo is not an ophthalmological vet, but knew who to refer me to. It's confirmed, my little girl has what appears to be congenital juvenile cataract. Thank you, Dr Medrazo, for your time, care, recommendations, and know, as well as expressing your limitations. I'm sure this saved a lot of time and money by cutting to the chase and being upfront and honest with your assessment and opinion. I'll be bringing my kids to you for future care. read more

Amazing staff and service! Very happy with the friendliness of the staff, their patience and advice. read more

I found this vet because I needed my cat to be seen as soon as possible and they were the only vet who had an availability sooner than my regular vet (who is only 2 mi away from me). After our first visit, I would gladly drive 8 mi to Yosemite Pet hospital!!! My experiences so far have been great - staff is kind and very communicative. Our experience with our "old" vet has been fine, but Yosemite Pet Hospital's service has stood out :) read more

As of a couple years ago, this hospital is under new ownership - and thank goodness! The new doctor (Dr Madrazo) is extremely warm, honest, and you can really see the caring she has for your pet. We had to put our dog down last week, and she along with the rest of the staff, helped make the experience as pleasant as can be (given the situation). *Thank you all for that*. The facility is extremely clean and the front desk girls and always so sweet & professional. I highly recommend Dr Madrazo for your pets needs! :) read more

This is a terrible Vet hospital. They charge you for a large animal food / bones and give you the smaller bag or package. I looked at The bill that they had charged with my credit card. I realized that they charge me for a large 7.7 pound bag of cat food and they only gave me a 3.3 pound bag. I thin looked at the dog bones that I had purchased and realize they had sold me the medium bones charge me the large price. Then I went back and started looking at the different medication's for my dog and I realize that they had actually even shorted me one of my dogs pills. oh no 00d. h did Couldn't believe my eyesCo read more

Today I brought my 2 dogs in to Yosemite Pet Hospital. The office front desk and the vet techs are nice and professional. Due to Covid the vet called me and explained everything she felt they needed. And then a tech called me to go over costs and get my approval. All pretty standard. The manner in which you communicate to clients is so important and everyone was nice, caring and professional. read more

This is the best vet care! The receptionists are friendly and helpful. The technicians are knowledgeable and do compassionate work. They are willing to work with my beast of a cat! Dr. Lissel is amazing. She listens to my concerns and treats my cat with the best care. Look no further for the best vet in Simi. read more

We lost our beloved cocker in June. On our journey trying to find a cure for him Dr. Madrazo went out of her way to help us get into a cancer center. And we had never been to her. It was so appreciated since our regular vet in Moorpark said he couldn't help. Since then we now have a new puppy. Of course we went back to Dr. Madrazo. She is through and doesn't do anythingl that isn't necessary. All the while keeping our dogs best interest and well being in mind. Vets today are very busy and its hard not to go into the office every time. She allows you to go inside if requested. read more

I was recently very surprised and satisfied at how quickly Yosemite Pet Hospital was able to get my Golden Retriever in to see the doctor for her chronic ear infections. The staff is very patient and extremely courteous on the phone as well as in person. They actually listen, take notes and relay the information to the doctor. The doctor spoke with me several times and explained/reviewed a going-forward plan for my dog's allergies and symptoms stemming from the allergies. We also discussed medications and dosage amounts. Since I was very happy with the service my dog and I received and considering that I live directly across the street from Yosemite, I may have just found my new vet! Thank you, Yosemite Pet Hospital!!! Michelle Lavigne and Ginger read more

I took my dog there a year ago and initially liked the staff and appreciated the vet giving me time to check in. Our dog was a rescue and seemed to have health problems. They ran many test, blood work and then recommended expensive vitamins and chews for her. She saw my dog 2x in a month due to my dog being lethargic and again did many blood test. 1 week after our 2nd visits, our pup had puppies which was a surprise to all. The vet did not catch she was pregnant. We decided to overlook this and brought our pup there the day after she had the puppies to see if she and the puppies were ok. She looked over them, recommended more test and products. Shortly after this visit she let slip that she does not know how to treat pregnant dog or help with birthing issues. The puppies were sick and died a week later. My frustration is because she was not forthcoming and did not care enough to refer me to someone who might have helped. Instead she continued doing test and selling products that were not necessary or helpful as we discovered when I found a different vet. It's ok to not know something, but pretending you do and not disclosing this is the reason for my low score. I am still haunted that if we caught the pregnancy early or get good help after the birth, we might have saved her puppies. read more

This place cares about nothing but money. I took my older dog here for an updated rabies shot and they would not stop trying to push their brand of food, treats, and everything else they get a kick back on. Then we I politely declined the actual vet tells me my dog will not be comfortable with out this stuff. Completely insulting and pushy the absolute worst service. read more

I absolutely love Yosemite Pet Hospital the staff is absolutely amazing and very helpful. The receptionist out super sweet and loved on my scared puppy. The manager stepped out and greeted us and asked if we needed anything. Dr. Madrazo is absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable and made sure I understood everything that need to be done, we scheduled our dental appt with a 15% coupon they gave us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR.MADRAZO read more

Everyone at Yosemite Pet Hospital was so kind and accommodating from our first call through the end of our appointment. We needed a health certificate in order for our puppy to travel and they accommodated us on short notice and were efficient and kind. The Dr. took the time to speak to me and explain everything easily. Would definitely recommend! read more

Awful, awful doctor!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE! Spent a fortune on office visits and lab fees. This "doctor" gave 1 year vaccines when she should of given 3 year vaccines since my dog is 10 years-old. She assured me there was no cancer from a needle biopsy, when in fact, a needle biopsy from the anal gland rarely serves a purpose and no doctor does this anymore. I took my dog for a second opinion and he found a heart murmur and my dog was diagnosed with cancer!! read more

I can't believe that someone would rate this place less than 5 stars. Even though they had a full packed schedule, they still saw my older Pom teddy right away and gave him the best care. We were only there for about an hour and I didn't even have an appointment! These girls don't know what they did for me today, the peace of mind they gave me and the comfort they provided for my dog meant more to me than they know! Btw, Teddy is doing great and is now walking without a limp and even ate dinner! Thank you to the lovely staff! read more

The staff here is everything. Dr. Madrazo and her team always take extra care of my pups. The prices are affordable and they make reasonable recommendations without making me feel pushed. I started coming here because my dogs were always so terrified to go into their old vet. It worried me that they weren't treating my pets right. I started looking for a new place, did some research and specifically found that AAHA pet hospitals provide a better experience for pets and owners. I am so glad I found this place. My pups are actually excited to go visit the girls that work there :) The manager Katy is always so loving with my little ones yet polite and professional with me. read more

This is where I took my boxer Lucy... my baby girl 8 years ago .... I thought I was getting the best care and instead I was told she needed all sorts of test that were unnecessary and quite costly . Every time I went it was a minimum of $400.00-$500.00!! I have a very healthy purebred boxer who doesn't need an X-ray of her stomach and doesn't have a heart murmur... she doesn't need a heart worm Test every time she goes in either . My biggest regret was not getting a second opinion on her heart murmur. Thank fully I'm with a new facility that I love... beware they like to gauge you with expensive tests and unnecessary procedures ! Good luck . read more
