Dr. Kearney is thoughtful and kind, she will work with you to find solutions for anything you bring up. All the assistants are welcoming and so so sweet to animals. My pets aren't as afraid to go to the vet. The employees really go above and beyond. They even took some time out of their day to walk my completely healed dog through the space to combat some of her vet-related anxiety. It was so helpful! The prices are fair for the quality of treatment received. I never feel as though I've spent too much or been ripped off. I've brought both cats and dogs here for major and minor treatments, and feel great about leaving them under the safe care of SGVVC. I cannot recommend them enough.

Dr. Whitney understandably wanted to know a bit more about what was going on before doing the testing, especially since Lulu usually has required sedation to have blood draws. In fact Dr. W took plenty of time getting all the history of the current issue plus requesting prior history to better care for Lulu. When the time came, she was able to draw the blood without any sedation, a real bonus for Lulu and for me. My interaction with her over some complex problems was excellent. She clearly cares about animals, is a skilled communicator as well as technically proficient. Highly recommend.

Dr Whitney very comprehensively examined and prescribed treatment which began an immediate difference. The medication and hydration got to the source of our dog's illness and by Monday she was virtually like new. The compassion, friendliness and professional care was the best. What a gift Dr Whitney and her staff are. We are grateful for the great care and reasonable cost on a very busy day.

I am so delighted to find such a caring, thorough, professional vet! Dr Adams-Berg took time…read moregetting to know me and my cat, TANK. She was extremely thorough, going through all of his prior vet records before our visit so we could discuss them in detail. Dr Adams-Berg has excellent human and cat bedside manner. She sat on the floor with TANK, meeting him where he was. He warmed up to her right away. I was also impressed with the staff. They could tell TANK was nervous b/c he was yowling loudly in the lobby when we arrived. They immediately got us to an exam room and let him decompress. The vet tech gave him a treat, which he loved, while she was getting his vital stats. And the receptionist held doors open for us and helped us to our car when the visit was done. Also, this is a private practice, not corporately owned, so they really care for the animals and not just about profit. Feel so lucky to have found this vet! Highly Recommend!

I want to start by saying that the doctor and veterinary technicians are fantastic. They are…read morecaring, knowledgeable, and genuinely seem to love and care for my pets. I have never had an issue with the medical care I've received, and I will absolutely continue bringing my dog here because of them. That being said, my experience with the receptionist has unfortunately been very different. There have been multiple occasions where I've called and felt that she was rude, had an attitude, or spoke to me in a condescending manner. I've let it go several times because I'm not someone who likes conflict, but today was the point where I felt I needed to say something. I called last minute to see if there was any possibility of getting an appointment, and I completely understand that scheduling can be difficult. However, when I asked how long I could expect to be there and to ensure I was getting an appointment with the actual doctor because I needed to coordinate work, my kids, my pets, and everything else that comes with managing a household, I was told, verbatim, "I don't have to explain my scheduling to you," in a very condescending tone. I wasn't asking her to explain or justify the clinic's scheduling. I was simply trying to get an idea of how long my visit might take, especially because there have been times when I've had an appointment and ended up being there for over an hour. As a client juggling a lot of responsibilities, having an estimate helps me plan. I am always polite and respectful when I speak with staff, even when I'm frustrated. And having worked in customer service and previously worked at the front desk of a veterinary hospital myself, I know that things can get busy and stressful. But there is still a basic level of professionalism and customer service that should be maintained. I truly love the doctors and techs here and have nothing but good things to say about the care they provide. I just hope the front-desk experience can improve, because the way clients are spoken to matters too. Great medical care deserves great customer service to match.

I made an appt to bring my dog in because he had mucus in his stools and was scratching a lot, they also shaved him, for a total of $700. I live on social security in HUD housing and count my dimes...oh and to have his teeth cleaned I was given an estimate of $3,000...just sayin. P.S. the reason I picked them was because out of all the vets they said they work with anxious dogs and mine is pretty anxious. If you call sedation as "working with anxious" dogs then they're right on the mark. Oh and I asked for a mild sedative to help with grooming and she said to take him to a dog behaviorist! Really? And spend another $700? Right! When pigs fly!!

I did contact my Discover Card and they sided with me after seeing the paper work from another Vet that I went to. I don't want to mentioned their name. Dr V called me a fraud through my Discover Card back and forth notes. I feel this is malpractice. Dr. V diagnosis is "Your dog is old and should be euthanize." Dr V. also shaved my dog's neck and drew blood from her carotid artery. How barbaric. Thank God I went to another Vet. My dog would not be with me today if I trusted her. This makes me sad and in tears.

I feel so lucky to have found Sarah Mullen. She is quite brilliant and understands animal behavior…read moreon a level that I imagine very few people do. She works wonders with my rather challenging herding dog, but maybe more importantly, she has managed to instill quite a bit of confidence in me as a handler/owner/trainer. Her methods require real effort and dedication, but they are all connected, very effective and well thought out. She always has the dog's experience and well being in mind, and is 10 steps ahead of every situation. I don't think trainers come better than Sarah Mullen. But more than her professional skills, she is a kind, caring person who invests a lot of time and energy because she actually wants the best for her clients and their dogs. This is a rather rare quality to find these days, and I am very grateful for it. I cannot recommend her enough. Be prepared to commit to training, because our dogs deserve that commitment, and it will be an incredibly rewarding and fun experience.

She was able to tell me things about my dog's behavior that I was unable to see even after living with him for over 10 years.

She is not going to do it all for you, but there is the reward along the way for both you and your best friend: you can communicate better, feel more confident both on and off-leash, and generally enjoy each other much, much more. I can't say enough good things about her. If you work with her, you won't be sorry.
