I have never been disappointed, there is a high level of professionalism that cannot be beat.

Lemonade Claim Form for basic physical checkup
Jennifer W.

They need to list their clinic email on their website because Lemonade wants that before I can get reimbursement for any claim. I'm updating this review because I realized they are charging $180 for a blood test, the insurance that I pay $55/month for is only paying $75 max for that blood test, which leaves me still paying a lot out of my pocket considering I have the lowest copay at 10%. And Lemonade has been thre cheapest and best pet insurance I've found so far. I'm frustrated. This ended up being a lot of money for me.

Thank you American Pet Clinic, and Doctor Carlos, for all your help. Once again you have went above and beyond for little Max. You gave him his flea medication and kept a watchful eye over him to make sure he did not have any allergic reactions, also gave him a warm bath to soothe him of any skin irritations he may have from the shampoo I used or from the flea meds. You created a plan to get a handle on his allergies, whether it may be fleas, food, or chemicals such as shampoo, laundry soap, perfume, carpet cleaner ect. He wears a lot of clothes so no clothes for a while. I so appreciate all of you at American Pet Clinic, especially Dr Carlos Alex Ramirez I have never had such wonderful care, compassion, attention to detail and professionalism from any Veterinarian before, and because of this you are my go to Veterinarian even thou you are an hour a way I will always come here. Thank you Dr Carlos and Staff. Thank You! Sherry & Mr Max

Our French Bulldog 3 days after the invasive surgical AI procedure.
Stephen T.

On Sunday, September 30, 2018 our French Bulldog, Bailey arrived at American Pet Clinic to undergo a progesterone test. The results came back favorable, Bailey was scheduled for artificial insemination (AI) on Monday, October 1. The result of the AI has been nothing short of horrific, as Bailey failed to recover and suffered from an invasive surgical procedure (See Attachment #1). It wasn't until Sunday, October 7 that she was receiving much needed treatment for swelling and infection, that had gone unchecked, backed by reassurances from Dr. Amanpreet Basra, that Bailey was doing okay. If there were further concerns, we were to contact the American Pet Clinic. On top of the $110.00 spent for an in-house progesterone test and $275.00 for the surgical insemination, I have spent an additional $261.00 and $175.00 for follow up services at American Pet Clinic. An additional $91.00 was spent at East Bay Veterinary Emergency, when the dog woke up in a pool of blood, liquid and pus on Sunday, October 7 (See Attachment #2). I called the American Pet Clinic and was told Dr. Basra wasn't available at the clinic on Sundays, the decision was made to receive treatment at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teach Hospital (VMTH) (See Attachment #3 & #4). The result, eight days, numerous procedures and seven nights hospitalized at VMTH, Bailey came home. That $275 AI cost us $4288.75, this after numerous reassurances from Dr. Basra that Bailey was going to fully recover, based on blood work, subcutaneous fluids and medication. As owners, we are very upset and disappointed with American Pet Clinic and horrified at what our French Bulldog endured. We did everything asked of us, but feel it was Dr. Basra's failure during the procedure and follow up care that turned this situation, life threatening. Bailey developed a staph infection on the skin and subcutaneous tissues, the most dramatic and the ends of the incision. Left untreated, her wounds could have resulted in death. Bailey spent 8 days at VMTH under the care of Dr. Casey Kohen and Dr. Jeremy Fleming, providing us with daily updates, regarding how Bailey was doing and what procedures were going to take place, based on her progress. Their assessment of Bailey, "...developed a post-operative surgical site infection of the superficial tissues that has cause dehiscence of the incision. We recommended initial wound management to help clear the infection and then close thereafter to allow expedited healing." It's unfortunate, our French Bulldog and family have suffered because of the procedure at the American Pet Clinic. Rest assured, we will not return for your services. We will be considering legal action, contacting the California Veterinary Medical Board and promote a social media campaign to let other individuals know not to take their animals to your clinic.

Csection stitches
R R.

This veterinarian gives you instructions for your newborn puppies in the instructions they tell you to tube feed the puppies while you wait for the mothers milk to come in. this is absolutely false do not do that. let the puppy nurse and make crying sounds to get mom's milk to come in. next do not allow this veterinarian to put your newborns in their incubators they are not using them properly they are too hot the puppies are warmed up too quickly. The newborn puppies need to warm up slowly over time the appropriate heat would be the heat that they get from their mother or you can carry them inside your shirt right after they're born do not leave. wait for the puppies and take them immediately away from this Vetinarian I suggest you just don't get a C-section here.

Since I have moved, this is the last review I'm going to write about this clinic, as I will never be in the area again. I have upped the stars one because in November 2019, I brought my dog to this business. I'm not going to go through the reasons why I called around to so many vets, because it's a very long story starting back when he was only about a year old. In November 2019, he was 9 years old. So, extremely long story short, when I did share the story and the reason for seeking a vet, to the many vet offices I called in and around the Modesto and Ceres area, not a one of them cared to listen to me, understand the situation, and brushed me off as if I had not done everything possible to rectify the situation. Not. One. Except this clinic. This one did listen. They understood. They were the only vet willing to have my dog come in. I made an appointment, however, between that time and the date of the appointment, I was able to find a temporary solution, and contacted the vet to state the nature of my visit would be a little different. They were very accommodating. I also advised them that my dog had major fear aggression around other dogs, and asked if we could come in the back way, or some way to prevent there being any craziness. Yet again, they were very accommodating. I left my dog in the car when I arrived, signed in, waited, and then when it was time for my dog to come in, the clinic made a very clear way for my dog to come in without being faced with other dogs he was extremely afraid of. It made for a very peaceful entrance, peaceful visit, and peaceful exit. The level of fear my dog has had towards other dogs is worse than you can imagine. He has been attacked, repeatedly, because so many just let their dogs roam around, freely, no leash, no fence, often times, no person around at all. So my dog has a major issue, and when he sees another dog, it's fight or flight. Other dogs pick up on that fear, and then we have a problem. It was very important that the clinic listen to me when I told them about my dog's fear, and what could happen, and they listened. They accommodated - I'm talking about the front desk people that I've not been all that fond of in the past - they listened, they accommodated. And I'm very appreciative that they did so. It truly was a very serious, big deal. I also met a new vet that night, and she was wonderful. The visit was quick, and the staff, this time, all of them, were great.

I like here. This people friendly and good and successful of our female dogs c-section. Puppy are healthy I don't have any problems yet with this place. C-section and scars were smaller than other veterinarians. And The cost is also reasonable. I live in South San Jose. I always drove almost 2 hours to get there. But no Complain. I recommend here to many people here.

Absolutely love American Pet Clinic! Dr. B is second to none. And the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. American Pet Clinic is our home away from home. Well worth the hour and a half drive to get there. Highly recommend!!!

2 drains for infection under skin after spay

This place almost killed my pet. I took my extremely healthy 7 month old cat to get spayed. She was given no antibiotics afterwards and developed an infection under her skin. After a trip to the ER and emergency surgery she had to get to drains put in and restitched. Before taking her to ER I tried calling the clinic an hour and a half before they closed. I was told if I sent pictures over email they would should the dr and get back to me. After 30 mins I called again for an update and they told me the dr went home and they said they never got the picture. When I questioned them having just stated 30 mins prior the dr was there the response was "well we just got your picture we open again Tuesday " the ER said the infection was most likely due to an unsterile surgery since it was under the skin.

I was frantic, calling everywhere to find an affordable cremation after a $900 bill. I found them; not knowing my mom has brought our pets in the past. You felt the heartfelt compassion when they opened the door to carry him in. They asked if we would like to spend time with him before paperwork. The room was set up so beautifully. A beautiful flower was placed beside his resting body. It meant so much to know our boy was finally taken care of by someone outside of his family. They filled two keychains for his brother's collars as well. Thank you for caring for all of these babies crossing over the rainbow bridge. God bless your staff.

From the moment I arrived, their kindness and professionalism were unmistakable. They treated my pup - and me - with genuine respect, patience, and empathy. Every step of the process was handled with such care that I never once doubted he was in loving hands. We opted for the witnessed cremation, which was incredibly hard, but knowing I never left Simba's side and took home his ashes, all within 17 hours of his passing brought me a sense of peace. In a moment when I felt completely heartbroken, they were a bright light. I am deeply grateful that a place like this exists, where our beloved fur babies are given the same dignity and thoughtful farewell that humans receive. It brought me comfort I didn't know I could feel on a day like that. I can't thank them enough for helping me honor my boy in the most meaningful way.

This is overdue. I can't express how much this whole team helped me after my tiny fur baby passed…read moreaway. I was scared to hand her over because I didn't trust that I'd actually get her ashes back (I fear some places lump all pet ashes together). I called all over the bay area and no one gave me enough confidence until I spoke to Dr. Ramos from P.E.R. She actually spent a lot of time hearing me out, then making calls to ensure all of my fears were just that- fears. I was treated with respect and kindness. When I brought my baby to the center I was given space and time with her to grieve before she was taken. This was much harder than expected so their set up and process was appreciated. The team was very communicative and helpful. When her ashes were returned to me a couple of weeks later, I was extremely touched that they felt moved by my baby's story and had kindly added little treasures that I will always cherish. I never expected to lose my beloved pet and I don't wish this on anyone, but having this team help get me through it was a gift. If you're reading this it means you're probably grieving your own loss. I'm so sorry. Have faith and confidence here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Ramos and Pets Eternal Rest team.

I've been going through the most devastating time and experience of my life, and still am, after losing my fur baby and soulmate. During this heartbreaking time, Dr. Cheryl has shown an extraordinary level of compassion, honesty, and care. She communicated clearly, was patient with my questions, and treated my situation with sincerity and respect. What stood out most was her transparency and the gentle way she handled everything. Even in the middle of overwhelming grief, she provided reassurance and comfort through her professionalism and kindness. It's clear she truly understands the deep bond we have with our furry family members. I'm deeply grateful for the way she supported me during such an unbearable and emotional time. If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would. If you're looking for a veterinarian who genuinely cares and provides the type of end-of-life service she offers, I highly recommend Dr. Cheryl.
