Called on a Monday to see if they could squeeze my cat in for an emergency-ish check and maybe a urinalysis- was told No sorry to take her to Urgent Care. Not the response I was hoping to get- I ended up at Governor Animal Clinic where they made an exception and were able to squeeze her in for a quick check- ultra sound and urinalysis. This is the type of situation that I appreciate in a vet. read more

Kind and efficient. The facility was clean and fairly comfortable. They were friendly and kind as we had to put our beloved corgi to sleep

Dr. Allen and his entire team have always been exceptional. He has been the primary veterinarian for my dogs for many years, providing compassionate and top-tier care every step of the way. Back in March, I sadly had to say goodbye to my 16-year-old Yorkie mix, Hercules, due to an acute hemoabdomen secondary to a ruptured splenic mass (mass on his spleen burst, causing internal bleeding). Even though I work in ER veterinary medicine and knew this would eventually happen, losing him was still heartbreaking. What truly set Dr. Allen apart was his extraordinary empathy following Hercules' passing. He took the time to personally call and check in on how my family and I were holding up. On top of that, he had trees planted in Hercules' honor through A Living Tribute. In all my years working in the veterinary field, I have never seen a clinician go above and beyond like this for a client. Dr. Allen isn't just a skilled veterinarian--he is a genuinely caring human being. I cannot recommend him and his staff highly enough! read more

We absolutely love this vet's office. You can feel how much they genuinely care about the animals they treat.

Highly recommend. read more

Knowledgeable and caring, that is Dr Marco. After decades of pets and vets - I am thrilled to have found him - best vet ever! After adopting 3 kitties, one of them needed FHO surgery, which meant removing bones from both hips and months of recovery. Dr Marco took the time to explain the entire procedure, answer all my questions and be available throughout his recovery. Caring is key at times like this, as you may need it as much as your pet. In addition to Dr Marco, literally everyone working at Bayview was wonderful. So often your vet is good, but getting to them is like fighting through a gauntlet of crankiness! Not here. Without exception, everyone proved to be extraordinarily kind and understanding from the front desk staff to the vet techs/assistants. Looking for an exceptional vet - look no further. You have struck gold with Dr Marco and Bayview. read more

I highly recommend Bayview Veterinary Clinic for your pet's care. Dr. Marco is an excellent Veterinarian. He is highly knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. He takes the time to thoroughly discuss and explain your pet's diagnosis, issues, and required care making you also feel like a valued client, and your pet a valued patient. The entire staff is responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable as well. I have every confidence that my current puppy is getting the best of Veterinary care possible, as did my prior dog over the years with Dr. Marco. read more

Thank you to Dr. Marco and the staff at Bayview for their continued support and care of our 16 year old Rosco. Their world class service and earned trust is the reason we are loyal customers. Appreciate all that you do! Sincerely, Lu, Julie, Rosco read more

I rarely leave reviews, but Bayview is special and deserving of recognition. After many disappointing experiences at our previous vet; (from being non-responsive and callous towards animals, to the doctor selling/leaving the business without notifying any of his patients), we had been searching for a new vet for some time. From multiple negative vet experiences, our sweet dog had turned shaken, nervous, and fearful at vet visits. We turned to Yelp and saw that Bayview's reviews gave us some hope that compassionate animal care was still out there. From the first phone call to every part of the visit, we felt that our dog was finally getting the care he needed. The front desk was warm and welcoming. When I called, they listened, were very helpful, and were able to get our dog seen the next day. They also handled the transfer of medical records from our previous family vet to Bayview, which was a relief. The vet tech, Brigg, was the first person to interact with our dog, and WOW, what a positive change from our previous vet experiences! Brigg was caring, helpful, informative, and attentive to our dog's medical needs. He was kind and gentle to our dog throughout. He took notes on the history of care, our current concerns, and pet's needs. Then came time to meet Dr. Marco. Dr. Marco followed up on Brigg's notes to make sure they accurately reflected our dog's medical history and care needs. He performed a physical exam and created a detailed plan of care to get our dog back to health; (after our previous vet had misdiagnosed and told us he was fine). He listened attentively, showed compassion, treated our dog gently, and demonstrated knowledge/expertise that left us relieved and optimistic that our dog would get better soon. After the exam, Brigg returned to review Dr. Marco's care plan and made sure we had the opportunity to ask questions and review the invoice prior to requesting payment. Transparency had never been part of any of our previous vet experiences. At other vets there were always hidden mystery charges for services that we weren't sure had been rendered, and disdain/judgment if you dared ask what the charges were for or decline any that seemed unreasonable. We scheduled a follow up appointment before leaving and I made sure to share Bayview's contact information with my family and friends who were also disappointed with their current vets and looking for compassionate care. I'm very thankful to have found a new vet home. Thank you, Bayview! read more

I brought my new rescue senior gal to Bayview and the expert was phenomenal from the moment we walked in!! Everyone is friendly to me and my pup and very professional as well. I was provided a detailed quote for potential services and when I brought her back, the charges were exactly as quoted. They treated Dottie with great care and love. I would highly recommend Bayview Veterinary Center to take care of your pet! read more

I'm still so grateful to Dr. Allen for his help when my cat, Monkey, was just 3 weeks old. His expertise and knowledge prevented Monkey from having to suffer with ringworm for a longer time than necessary. I originally visited another vet from Petco the day after we found Monkey, however, due to their negligence, they completely missed his signs of ringworm. Luckily, I had the foresight to get a second opinion, but not after Monkey started showing red rashes all over his body, and started balding. Thanks to Dr. Allen and his efficiency, I was able to get Monkey started on his treatment as soon as possible, and now he's 22x the size he was when he first came in! What a transformation! read more

I really appreciated the honesty and integrity from Dr. Allen when my cat suddenly became ill. I had a gut feeling it wasn't an emergency situation that a vet hospital tried convincing otherwise, so I took her to Dr. Allen instead and after his thorough examination, he assured me my cat was just experiencing an upset stomach and didn't think it was necessary to rush her to the hospital. Not only was Dr. Allen kind, but he was thorough with his examination of my cat and he didn't try convincing me to do unnecessary testing. I'll forever be grateful for his professionalism and honesty. This happened a few months ago and Mia is doing excellent, thanks again! read more

Twizzel met Dr Benetiz and it was love at 1st sight at least, for Twizzel. Dr Benitez was very professional as well as thorough during our initial meeting. I appreciate the thoroughness with which she examined Twizzel as well as a review of her meds and the examination concluded with a future care plan. The office staff was equally professional and I also appreciate that they use contactless pay options. The trek from Chula Vista to Mission Bay is well worth the time and effort. read more

I'm here monthly to check electrolyte levels for my girl. The office is always spotless and smells clean, I'm always greeted with a smile and my dog is always greeted as well. Probably why she always walks right in! She just gets a simple blood draw most visits so the take her in the back and she always goes right with the tech and she's always calm and unstressed when she returns a few minutes later. This place is privately owned, not a corporate hospital and you can feel it. The staff are all happy, relaxed and never rushed. You can tell the vets (who are also the owners) respect their staff. I wish my own drs office was like read more

As always, Dr. Marco and the staff of Bayview Veterinary Center were amazing at our dog's appointment yesterday. We've been taking our dogs to Dr. Marco for years, and he's always been so kind, caring, and knowledgeable when working with them. The staff is also amazing, and our dog loves them. We highly recommend them! read more

Dr. Benitz is one of the best veterinary doctors in existence, period. I've been seeing her for my cats (now one senior cat) for over 10 years. She was at another clinic before, and when she joined Bayview recently, I followed her without question. I did try another vet briefly for some testing because they were closer to where I live and the car ride is always stressful for my cat. But they couldn't come close to the love, care and professionalism that Dr. Benitz offers. If it takes an extra 20 minutes in the car, it's absolutely worth it. Over the years I've also met other veterinary specialists, including dentists and holistic practitioners that just don't compare to her either. So if you are looking for a Superstar vet that checks all the boxes that's reliable, empathic, knowledgeable, and has a great vibe too, I'd recommend trying to see if you can get in with Dr. Benitz. read more

Dr. Marco has seen all 3 of my dogs over the last 8 years and has always been kind and thorough. He doesn't rush, explains what's going on and why, as well as giving you multiple options for treatment when available. If you are looking for a new Veterinary office,stop your search immediately.. you found the best of the best. From the moment you step in the door you will be glad you did. The offices are new, modern, and objectively gorgeous. It also... smells good in there? The front office staff was as lovely as the back office staff from Ken to Amanda, there is a compassionate face waiting to assist you and your furry babies. read more

What a sigh of relief this place is compared to the last place we took our newest family member to for his procedure. From accessibility to clinic to the professionalism of the staff and doctor; also the cost of care. I literally paid 60.00 more than "the other "affordable" place". No question this our new clinic for the Gatos. Do yourself a favor and give these guys a try. We couldn't be happier with the service. read more

My two dogs, Morrigan and Hercules have been seeing Dr. Allen for a long time and he never disappoints! Recently it's been for yearly dentals and too many extractions, my dogs nicknames are now toothless 1 and toothless 2 lol. Dr. Allen's staff always works with my very limited schedule (college classes and work) which is amazing. Oh and Dr. Allen always takes time to say "Hi" if he sees us while he's busy with other clients. I've been recommending people to Dr. Allen for years and will continue to do so. read more

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Allen as my veterinarian at a different hospital and discovered that he had opened his own practice. I made an appointment for a checkup for my cat, and had such a positive experience. They provided clear instructions on how to locate the hospital and got me checked in and in the room super fast. The hospital is also very modern and beautiful! Excited to have established care for my cat here and am looking forward to being back. My cat was scared at first but came out his carrier to look around once he was in a room. All the workers were awesome and made everything seamless and easy for us! read more

Our fur-child, Brambles, has been a patient of Dr. Allen for about four years. Prior to Dr. Allen, we had been going to a more "big name" vet practice where a series of instances made us feel like we just weren't getting the best care. Once our dog started seeing Dr. Allen, we realized just how much different a veterinary experience can be when the doctors, technicians, assistants, and staff all actually care about your pet and you, as the pet parent. When Dr. Allen opened his own practice with his business partner, there was no question in our minds, we would follow him to Bayview Veterinary Center. From the front desk reception, the physical space and exam rooms, to meeting and discussing any issues with the vet technicians/assistants and Dr. Allen, you get a sense that there is a dedicated wholistic effort by all to truly care for your pet. We feel very lucky to have found such great care for our little dog! read more

After taking our dog to our previous Animal Hospital during the past 4 years, our dog's Veterinarian, Dr. Marco, DVM, and another colleague recently opened up their own veterinary practice. We were excited since Bayview Veterinary Clinic (BVC) is closer to us. It's located in a mixed use commercial/residential building in Mission Bay. There's a ton of underground parking, and since it's brand new, it's like a brand new car! Everything looks nice, smells nice, and our dog has her same familiar Vet who's treated her since she was 3 months old. BVC has everything our old veterinary clinic had (online Rx formulary, great staff, clean office/exam rooms, they can perform early cancer screening, etc.). Our dog usually gets anxious when going to the vet, but today, she was pretty chill. Dr. Allen & Dr. Marco's new location is amazing! read more

Our 13 yo Doodle has seen quite a few vets in her life and Dr. Marco is by far her favorite! She loves going in and so do we. He is thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate. We just faced a difficult diagnosis that involved surgery which for a senior dog is always a challenge but Dr Marco and the staff were amazing! Our girl came through it like a champ and is recovering at home now. If you want a practice that values your pet and you, definitely go to Bayview. read more

Oatie, my cat, is usually incredibly anxious and cries the whole time she is away from home and it stresses me out to bring her anywhere. I had a handful of questions and concerns during our first visit and Dr. Allen was patient, thorough, and caring, all the qualities you want in a provider. Despite her fear of new environments and people, Oatie surprisingly warmed up very quickly once we arrived. We were able to successfully complete a physical exam, vaccine, and procedure all while she stayed calm and collected. Oatie especially loved their vet tech Brianna who gave her lots of pets and attention. Everyone here puts extra effort to make our pets (and us) feel comfy. It was great vibes all around. I left feeling relieved because I found a team I trust with my anxious little chicken read more
