It was our first time at this clinic and they had no prior medical history on our cat, yet they treated her as if they had known her for years. Dr. Shubin was extremely thorough, patient, and gentle. She kept me updated every step of the way, calling with detailed explanations and making sure I understood all of the options. The staff was equally wonderful -- genuinely helpful, kind, and transparent. They were very open about costs and did everything they could to minimize expenses without compromising care, which meant so much during a stressful time. Sadly, we eventually had to make the heartbreaking decision to put our cat down. Even in that moment, Dr. Shubin and the staff made an unbearable experience a little less painful. Their empathy, professionalism, and the way they cared for both our pet and for us as humans is something I will never forget. There are no words to express how grateful we are to have found this veterinarian. Dr. Shubin and the entire team truly go above and beyond. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a vet who leads with compassion, honesty, and exceptional care.

I can't believe I forgot to write this review! It's overdue by about 3 years. I just noticed when I…read morewent on their yelp page to look at their business hours. But I remember like it was yesterday, so here goes.... I had an elderly, very much loved, bearded dragon named Dino that I had close to 8 years. One day after coming home from work, I found him on the bottom of his tank with his head turned to the side. He was flopping around like crazy, looked like some type of drunken stupor. I had not had to take him to the vet before. I called around and found an emergency place in Dublin that said they would be willing to see him. I rushed him there. Although they were visually equipped for reptiles, they were clueless. Which I understand to a degree, reptiles aren't as easy. But their recommendation was he probably had metabolic bone disease (no, he didn't) and that since he was elderly, they spoke to me about euthanasia. I took him out of there and went home, completely disgusted. I left there crying and traumatized. And refunded lol. The next day, I did extensive research to find a good reptile vet and that's when I stumbled upon Ohana. I made an appointment and drove there from Concord and dropped my baby off. Within a short period of time I got a call from the doctor. He was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. He explained to me that he believed Dino had a neurological disorder. I understood this meant no cure. What sold me on this doctor is when he told me he felt Dino had plenty of life left in him based on his alertness and responsiveness. He didn't recommend euthanizing him. We spoke about how his head tilt would just be our new norm, how this would be a disability for him but we could adapt to make him comfortable. He also was confident that Dino wasn't experiencing pain, rather just the surprise of having a sudden head tilt. Like people would feel if that same thing happened to us. I picked up my Dino and went home, so grateful for this experience. I removed all his branches and rocks due to a fall risk, and redid his tank to include a soft, cushy floor and some bright colored plants for visual enjoyment. Dino lived for almost 2 more years after that. We added so many more memories to the books thanks to the wonderful doctor at Ohana. Since then, I have another beardie and a blue iguana. This is the only place I will trust should they need very specialized care from an expert.

While Dr. Sehkon is a…read morecompetent doctor, we've noticed over the past 4-5 years that service is less personalized, the prices have risen sharply*, and the entire beloved support staff has completely turned over. The care felt less holistic and bent toward pharmacological treatment. Getting refilled heartworm/ flea & tick preventatives became a hurdle, requiring more physical examinations and other services. I wondered if a private equity firm had bought our beloved vet, so I searched. Yes, they had SAGE backed by Chicago Pacific Founders Fund L.P. While I appreciate and value the doctor's and care staff's skills and time, I dislike that PEs force vital businesses into profit centers. *Based on reviewing all of our statements between 2021 - 2024, there has been a 54% increase in exam fees and a 52% - 81% increase in vaccinations (DHPP, Leptospirosis, Bordetella, and Canine Influenza).

It was recommended to do an abdominal ultrasound and a digestive panel to look at her small intestines by my vet of many years. Sadly she was retiring and would not be there for the ultrasound scheduled for 12/26/25 along with the recommended blood work. Dr Cook took over her case and recommended we start prednisolone and vitamin B12 for her small intestinal disease after her ultrasound. She called 1 wk later saying the results were not back yet and would take longer. After that, I never heard back with the results, nor did she make any follow-up recommendations on how to proceed. My dog had an appt for his ear infection with Dr Katy on 2/12/26 and I asked her for Tilly's lab results as I had never heard back. Luckily, the results were normal. I was very disappointed in the lack of follow-up from Dr Cook. This was the first time I have felt like this after many years of taking my pets to AVC.

Dr. Ramirez did her exam and we decided to take the route of antibiotics first which was nice not to have to jump right into something big. We did eventually need to have more tests taken and determined she had a bacterial infection most probably because of her teeth needing a cleaning. Dr. Ramirez came in on her day off just to do the procedure she was concerned because they did not have appointments for a few weeks, I was so appreciative!! My baby had a few teeth extracted and a cleaning and is doing very well! Thank You Dr. Ramirez and all of the Vet techs that put up with all of my questions and tears.

During my cat Willie's visit with Dr. Chaudhary, I got the distinct impression that this doctor doesn't like cats. She held and tried to restrain Willie incorrectly, causing him to struggle.

I thought handling cats correctly was something fundamental taught at vet schools. Sadly, after all these years, I am now looking for a new vet.

He didn't try to bite them, Lucky Charm seemed at ease in a way he's never been at his old veterinary clinic the last 3 years. Who cares that it takes 45 min to an hour to drive there, each way..... we all know we will do anything for our loved ones, furry or otherwise. Peace of mind knowing my baby is loved and cared for immediately when I walked thru the door is just priceless. I don't know what the other reviews meant when they mentioned anything bad at Animal Center of Pleasanton; it's ridiculous.

The news below doesn't surprise us as the vet simply suggests us to let our dog to have blood test for her "itchiness". There was no examination at all as the vet was scared of our dog. He simply pulled our dog's leash forcibly as if he doesn't know how to deal with a dog. As the blood result shows nothing, he suggests us to run fecal test to identify the issue. - just for her itchiness.

They know people are having a bad time and run a nice space with refreshment and some snacks. All the staff have been really nice.
