My seven-year-old service dog, Madonna, has immaculate teeth. I've brushed them every single night…read moresince she was ten weeks old. Even so, the best-laid plans can't prepare you for emergencies. Last year, we were rear-ended on the I-5 at Via de la Valle in Del Mar by an unlicensed driver in stop-and-go traffic. I fractured two of my own teeth from the collision. My Italian Greyhound was secured in her car carrier, and I assumed she'd been spared. Months later, during a routine exam at our primary care veterinarian (The Drake Center in Encinitas), our vet discovered a fracture in Madonna's molar that would require a root canal. I was shocked becauseI brush her teeth nightly, but that's not something most dog parents are actively looking for. Our vet emphasized that the only reason Madonna avoided infection for so long was because her mouth was so impeccably clean and was the result of years of daily brushing, enzymatic toothpaste, and small-breed dental tools. She referred us to Pacific Coast Veterinary Dentistry & Oral Surgery, and this is where our real blessing began. I consulted with Dr. Kevin Li. He is phenomenal, articulate, precise, no-nonsense, and deeply empathetic. Most importantly, Madonna absolutely loved him, and she loved every member of the staff. The entire team is caring, gentle, and genuinely attuned to the anxiety any devoted dog parent feels when their fur child needs surgery. On surgery day, I checked her in and went home to wait, terrified. But Dr. Li called exactly when he said he would. And he began the call by complimenting me...saying Madonna has the cleanest teeth of any seven-year-old dog he has ever seen in his practice. That meant the world to me. The root canal went perfectly. Madonna recovered beautifully, and I now examine her teeth every night when I brush them and everything remains flawless! I cannot say enough about this facility. They made my dog's life healthier and happier, and they treated us with exceptional kindness from beginning to end. I've already recommended a close friend who has four dogs and she now brings all of them here for their dental care and procedures. She was just as impressed. Pacific Coast Veterinary Dentistry & Oral Surgery and Dr. Kevin Li are the absolute gold standard. If your dog needs dental care, this is the place you can trust with your whole heart!

I knew Cali came to me with oral issues (several broken teeth, periodontal disease, bad breath,…read moreblack gums, etc), so as soon as I built up enough of a relationship with her, I started taking her for biannual teeth cleanings in a mobile dentist van. Flash forward a year, and she had pulp showing and a possible infection in a canine. The mobile van wouldn't work on her, fearing abscess and worse. After 3 vet opinions, I realized I my goal was to try to save her tooth, especially because a dog needs their canines! Regular vets could only remove it, so I chose a specialist. I was warned that it would be costlier to have dental work done rather than extractions, but she was a few months shy of turning 8 and I have been determined to give her the best rest of her life possible. The dentist wasn't sure he could save it during the consultation, but he was able to do a root canal on that tooth, and shave down and seal a bunch of her other bad teeth. Cali loved coming here (see photo of her waiting for opening time to go in!), and everyone said what a wonderful, trusting dog she is. They took excellent care of Cali; she came home happy, more playful and more goofy. The things they alerted me to (not eating for 24 hours, having an accident in bed, mouth bleeding from the biopsy), did not pan out. She wanted to eat as soon as she arrived home, slept fine and her mouth healed fast. I am so grateful for this business. While I will be brushing her teeth at home and utilizing the mobile cleaning van regularly, I will also keep this place bookmarked for both of our dogs' serious dental issues. Pros: - friendly - clean office - excellent communication (calls, emails, photos, etc). Cons: - parking sucks when parents use lot to drop off/pick up kids for nearby school - a bit pricey but no CC fees here

By far, the best place to take your dog for urgent care or oncology needs (if you see Dr. Proulx)…read more I've been taking my dog here for just over a year for quarterly consultations with Dr. Proulx. My 11 year old dog has a history of very aggressive MCTs, and Dr. Proulx has helped us put him on a fantastic regimen that has prevented any new tumors from appearing for 15 months, while minimizing dosages for steroids. Dr. Proulx is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He answers all of my questions thoughtfully, even when I call from home because I'm a nervous dog mom. We just took my dog to the urgent care this weekend, and it was a great experience. I called in advance to say I was coming up, and they were able to see him right away. They had great bedside manner, thoroughly explained our options for next steps, proactively provided cost transparency, and offered follow up appointments. They also helped me prioritize what was needed so I could decide what to schedule with my pcp to save some money - it's clear they aren't trying to take advantage of you! We saw Dr. Vezeleva, and I can't recommend her enough. When we were done speaking with the care staff, I asked the front desk if I could take my dog to the car to wait while they filled a prescription for me - they immediately brought him out so he could wait comfortably, and they even met me at my car to get me when everything was ready so that the end process as seamless as possible.

The following has been my own experience dealing with this business. conclusions are my own…read moreopinions. Took my dog in for abdominal procedure for a bloat condition. Surgery was done. Dog was kept in the facility for the following 3 days. Went for a visit and was asked if he had anything wrong with his paw. Answer was of course "NO". They explained he had swelling on his paw and that rinsing with warm water would take care of it. They made no mention of embolisms, clots, restraints etc. When we took him back 5 days later with his skin falling off, they tried blaming it on some random "embolism" event. Nothing mentioned of this previously and they obviously didnt bother evaluating or treating for this? In my opinon the injury was from restricting blood flow "tourniquet effect "to the limb based on the circular mark on his paw with damage and swelling below that line. An external pressure injury. In any case, he was in their care when the injury happened. There is nothing showing anyone checked bandages for pressure, ties for being applied appropriately, or that anyone checked his extremities for proper circulation. I believe the "embolism" was nothing but an excuse for their own failures inserted into the record 5 days later. Many months of care, cleaning, changing bandages and preventing him from licking his wound. A full time job. My poor dog still has difficulty walking almost a year later. Sent a demand letter to VCA requesting refund of money I paid for the surgery and other medical treatment. Letter went unanswered. Their insurance company contacted me asking for receipts, which I provided. They then did nothing. I finally filed suit in small claims court. No answer from VCA. Court date pending. nothing explaining their role in this. Filed complaint with licensing board for investigation into their actions and ethics. See photos and make your own conclusions about going to this business.

I am now at a different vet who we LOVE, but our experience here at Bressi was never personable, and I always felt like I had to fish information out of the vet and the techs. Huge lack of follow up and communication as well. When I asked a question I was often met with, "oh it should be fine" "I'm not sure, let me go check." With my dog getting older, I did not trust her in their hands any longer based on my experience. Dr. Lax misdiagnosed my Australian shepherds back pain. I was told she may need to see a neurologist because of a spinal issue and that she should no longer jump up and down. When going to our new vet, he reviewed the x ray they took and said because of them not sedating her, the reason they gave that diagnosis is because she probably moved during the x ray. New vet did a thorough exam and she has been fine, no issues. I also recently found out that when they extracted some of her teeth 2 years ago, they left some roots in there which the new vet is now removing so they do not become infected or abscess. I would have understood if there was some reason why they left them in there...but the lack of transparency and lack of communication is what I don't appreciate. Huge opportunity here at this vet!

We live a good 1 Hour Dr. from the area, but our normal vets wouldn't see us without either a very steep surcharge to get him in same week or told us to wait a week for an appointment. So I was thankful to have a new recommendation. My Frenchie had done something to his eye, and it was rather urgent that we be seen. I loved the ease of being able to hop online and see what their availability is whether it be that day or further out, as well as being able to filter out that availability by your chosen doctor. When we arrived, the staff was super welcoming and kind. We had a room right away. The doctor was so sweet with my dog. Not only did she do a thorough exam, she was great about explaining each step, and each medication. I definitely felt like she was invested in the health of my dog and not pushing anything that I didn't need. She seemed very honest and forthcoming. She explained the healing process and what we would need to do as far as next steps. I would definitely recommend if you live in the area or even if you have to drive a bit to get there to take your animal to see Dr. Goode! My dog went from being nervous that we were at a veterinarians office to being happy as a little clam due to the care and, of course, the love and extra snacks he was given!

Dr. George was very thorough in trying to figure out what was going on with her. Unfortunately, it was our sweet cat's time to go to heaven.

Thought I left this review years ago. After talking about vet horror stories I was reminded of…read moreMohnacky Carlsbad where I was certain they would be out of business. I had to check. Here I am not only in absolute shock that they are still open but that they have 4/5 stars. I wouldn't believe a 4/10 star rating. This rings false. Anyways my horror began after my dog had a leg injury. It ended up being the ligament and the dog needed surgery, but we were not sure at the time. Took her to Mohnacky Carlsbad for an exam. They did an exam and found nothing of immediate concern and wrapped it in an ace bandage and some gauze that probably cost $5 and charged $75. I was upset but was just happy there was no immediate concern so I paid it. After thinking about it, the bandage wrap wasn't even on the leg that was injured. They wrapped the wrong leg...did they "exam" the correct leg and wrap the leg they thought was wrong...there was some sort of disconnect at nobody's fault other than Mohnacky. I called them very upset. I explained the situation. They told me to come back to wrap the correct leg. I explained I'm not going to do that and I wanted a refund for the bandage. I didn't want to buy that to begin with...$5 bandage for $75 NICE! Apparently you have to pay even more if you want the correct leg wrapped. After back and forth with the person on the phone they were refusing me a refund...I'm not sure what the equivalent of medical malpractice is for vets but this was surely it and they wanted 0 part in trying to make it right. The ONLY thing that got them to refund me was a credit card chargeback. Sickening I had to go to those lengths to make their mistake right. I am in absolute awe this place is still in business. I can not recommend them for ANY level of care for ANY one of your pets.
