I have been bringing my pets here for years. They really care and are always busy but have always squeezed in my dogs and cats. I'm super grateful. I would give them a million stars if I could. One of few vets not corporate owned nowadays. I think that makes a huge difference. read more

I've been going to Dr Mike for 30 years first at maze Boulevard and then over to their new place on Beckwith. Dr. Mike and Dr. Chad are both excellent veterinarians. Their level of care and empathy is outstanding. I also enjoy the Office staff who are very kind. I always recommend them if somebody's looking for a new vet that wants top paw service read more

They give great care here. I'm really going to miss Dr Mike though. I've taken many of my pets there over the years, and I hope I never have to see any other veterinarian in the future read more

Have gone to this vet for 30 years. They have no tact, and charge more than other vets for less. Just look at the building, you paid for that. Furthermore, they have a high turnover rate with vets that's why they're booked l week, because only people in their own family can stand these people. They're a bunch of dicks read more

We've been using Beckwith Veterinary for 25 yrs. ( Yes, I know they haven't been there that long, but we've been with them since they were on Maze blvd.) We have an urgent situation with one of our pets. They can't get him in for 3 weeks. If we can't get our pet in when we need to, what are we supposed to do? We're seriously thinking of going elsewhere... read more

We love Beckwith Veterinarian Hospital! The doctors & staff are always kind and very attentive. Dr. Mike and Dr. Chad took excellent care of our girl. We highly recommend them. read more

Beckwith Veterinary Hospital - Resting after surgery - Veterinarians Near Me - Modesto, California

On Jan 29th, the staff I encountered were very dry with their customer service. They could have been better and more informative with ANY information from my pets visit! The Vet himself was good but he should invest in some customer serve training for his team. Have been coming here for 9 years probably won't be returning. read more

Idk what the 1 star people are talking about ?! This place is great! You must take into consideration we don't know these reviewers and their behavior or tone during these intersections. They have always made time for me and my pets. If they don't have an appointment and it's urgent or possibly an emergency, they have ALWAYS allowed me to drop off my pets. Mike O'Brien is a wonderful man with lots of knowledge. His son is equally smart and helpful. To the uneducated, the educated can seem pompous and condescending, but they are not! They are thorough about explaining your pet's condition, your options, and treatment to be sure the client understands. Yes, wait times are longer due to the influx of patients and not enough doctors. But hasn't COVID done that to most businesses? Great doctors, wonderful staff, and excellent care for your pets. read more

Take all of our fur babies here for years. Mike and Chad are like family. If you are a customer here your babies are in the best of hands.

I always feel confident being our pets here. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are fair. My dog has undergone everything from surgery to routine checkups here and I won't take her anywhere else. read more

Excellent vet care. Professional and practical. Probably the best dog cat vet in Stanislaus county

Love love love the Doctors O'Briens! They treat your pets like their own pets. They have multiple levels of services depending upon your comfort level. They're compassionate, reasonable about their care, and they LISTEN to pet Moms and Dads. They offer weekly vaccine clinics and early and late appts. And, we love their staff!!!! They're just great people! There is no need for us to ever go anywhere else. read more

Beckwith Animal Hospital has provided me with peace of mind and my fur baby with exceptional care. I worked with Dr Chad O'Brien after being referred to BVA by a friend who had him Perform TPLO surgery on their dog. I originally received a diagnosis and quote from Sage Animal Hospital in Dublin, as I live in the Bay Area. They quoted me nearly $8,000. When I went to Beckwith for a 2nd opinion and quote, they quoted me $3,000-$3,500...same surgery (TPLO) but they also included laser therapy treatments on her post-op visits to speed along healing which I felt was a nice "bonus". My final bill ended up being slightly above $3,200. They do offer financing through Care Credit as well. I dropped off my dog for her surgery at 6.5 months pregnant, during the COVID-19 Outbreak and being laid off from my job (due to the pandemic's effect on my industry). It was the worst timing for me to be going through all of these things at once. The staff did a wonderful job providing me with information and setting my expectations for a long road to recovery. My dog is healing wonderfully at first; at day-6 post-op she showed signs of digression and stopped bearing weight on her "new" leg--after calling and speaking with Dr O'Brien, he booked me an appt for the next day where they x-rayed to rule out any issues with the implant/screws, with no extra charges--diagnosis was soreness and that I shouldn't be concerned and just continue to drastically limit her activity. So I overreacted--but pregnancy hormones + too much free time on my hands, I was bound to jump to conclusions. Dr O'Brien completely put my mind at ease! Not only that, but they didn't even make me go into the hospital to limit my exposure--came out to my car to grab my dog, and then brought her back out to me to discuss results in open-air. Above and beyond! Throughout the entire process, from initially booking my consultation through final follow up appointment, the staff has been very helpful and courteous. They've called to check in on how my dog was doing on multiple occasions and are prompt with reminders for upcoming appointments, etc. Anytime I had questions, I was able to reach somebody the same-day with clear and concise answers. At first I was hesitant to elect to book my dogs TPLO surgery at Beckwith. The doctors aren't "board certified surgeons" like at Sage so they don't have all the fancy letters after their names. But after my experience there, the results I have seen, and the service and follow up I have gotten, I will say it is 100% worth the drive from the Bay Area to Modesto to not only save thousands of dollars, but receive exceptional care for my fur baby. Thank you!! read more

Michael Bryan and his son Chad are the best vets you will find in Modesto . I've been taking my animals to them for over 30 years. I hate having to take my vets anywhere else cuz they're so compassionate and knowledgeable and walk you through every step they do I wish more vets were like them in this town . I can't give enough praise . read more

Hands down the absolute best! Dr. Mike O'Brien is a stud! He's been a doctor for many years and his experience shows! He is very wise and takes the time to fully explain things. He gives the best treatment possible! His staff is wonderful too! read more

I love this veterinarian hospital! The staff is always kind and attentive. Dr. Mike and Dr. Chad take excellent care of my dogs. They are honest and always explain what they are doing. I never feel rushed. I won't take my dogs to anyone else. I highly recommend them. read more

This is a first-class office. Everyone is friendly and professional. I have been taking my dogs there for many years. I trust them. They are honest, which means everything. As long as they have been in business , we have trusted them with many dogs. I will highly recommend this business. read more

This has been my normal vet for a little while now. Recently my dog got a hematoma in her ear, and I called early as they opened to see if I could get her in. I was told that I had to wait until a vet showed up since they start about an hour after the office opens and that they would call me back. 3 times that day I called back to check and see if I could get my dog seen, and was told they were still looking into it. It's now the next day with no callback and I've already gone to another vet. I chose another vet that could not only take her but they even called the next morning to check in on my dog and make sure she's doing ok on her meds and everything else. I will never be back here because of this crappy behavior. read more

Please please don't take your pet here if you "love"your pet and don't want to waste your time. The management here is UNPROFESSIONAL and super misleading. We are sad to say we saw their management's true colors. Supposedly chooses to deny your services to your pet even after they give you misinformation and you call them out on it and they choose to deny your services disrespectfully and taking away your rights to seeking wellness for your beloved pet. WARNING DUE NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. If you even still are receiving services here please find an alternative and don't wait until it happens to you, you will regret it. read more

I called this morning to get pricing on cat vaccinations and the process for having stray cats looked at and treated. The receptionist who answered was somewhat helpful and said that we would have to schedule an appointment for examination. Okay, Good so far. He proceeds to ask if I have an account to which I said I didn't. He then says they are not opening any new accounts. No explanation as to why they can't, when they can, nothing. After the awkward silence, I thanked him for his help and hung up. How are they still in business? Maybe take the appointment option off the phone call menu?? I called my regular veterinarian and got my appointments made and questions answered. VMA in Modesto actually helps people in need. They are pricey at times but health care comes at a cost. I recommend not wasting your time calling beckwith. read more

I took my dog in after he out of nowhere became very sick during the night. I was so sad because I felt my 16yr old dog's life was ending as he was very very sick. Dr. O'Brien and his team saved his life! I am forever thankful. It turned out my dog had Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis. He is still slowly recovering, but now eating more, drinking more, feeling better each day. Thank you to everyone at Beckwith Vet Hospital read more

I'm sure they're great, but they haven't taken any new patients in forever. Call another vet.

We have been customers of Dr O'Brien for many years. He really is the best in the business. His staff is another question. I have on multiple occasions been denied an appt for my sick dog. I was even denied an appt for my dying dog, they said I could bring him in the next day, he wasn't going to live for a few more hours much less another day!! If other vets can offer emergency appts why can't they do the same? Leave openings in your day for these such emergencies??? I love the vets but if you can never get in to see them then what's the point! read more

We went here back about 6 months ago to get our dogs teeth pulled , I knew at the point I found a veterinary that really cares and not trying to charge us for things that weren't needed. 6 months later my little dog wasn't feeling good , so, went there for appts 3 weeks in a row to check on him , again , wasn't persuaded into doing and paying things that were not necessary at the time , Yuen's out that our little guy had lots of things wrong with him and we ended up having to put him to sleep today , the vet called me herself to give me the bad news of the blood test that was done . All the staff is friendly and my appts were always on time , Thankyou for helping us through this difficult time @beckwithvet #weloveyouJR #runfreelittleguy #yourpainisover read more

Beckwith Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Modesto, California

I have brought both of my dogs here for all of their routine visits and any emergencies for the last 5 years--and recently. I couldn't be more disappointed with the care we've received. The last 4x I have called for an appointment--I haven't been able to get anything other than a "drop off" appointment... (meaning--bring in your dog--drop them off--and we will look at them when we get a chance--but you don't get to see/speak with the vet. Someone calls and let you know to come pick up your pet and you're given instructions) I've had to do this several times because they don't have time to see my pets in a timely matter when you call for an appointment. My most recent "drop off" was by far the worst. I called in for my golden retriever who had developed a limp in his front leg. I explained he wasn't getting up, wasn't eating, and was very lethargic. I had taken a video of his limp. I received a call from Dr. O'Brien--who told me there was nothing wrong with my pet. I protested--and since I complained he prescribed some pain medication but didn't perform any further examination. 2 weeks later--my pup had not improved. I called again to schedule an appointment--and once again was told they wouldn't be able to see my dog for more than a week unless I did a drop off. I scheduled the appointment--As I wanted to be present for the examination. But--after 2 days when he hadn't improved I called sylvan veterinary clinic who could see him the same day. Sylvan saw the issue with my dog--and ordered x-rays. ...once the x-rays were reviewed they uncovered my dog had cancer--everywhere (his Lungs, stomach, spleen) and needed to be put down. Beckwith vet--wouldn't see him in a timely matter. Missed this issue on 2 prior drop offs (within this same month) by not doing a thorough examination (even though I was charged and sent home with medication he didn't need on both visits)--and completely missed that my dog had lost more than 15 pounds over the course of that month. I trusted them with the care of my family members when I should not have. I will never bring my pets here again--they're clearly too busy to take the time to do a complete exam. I am so sorry my pet had to suffer extra time due to their complete negligence. Do your self a favor and take your pets elsewhere. read more

My dog was always a patient here since we had her in 2011 , she's 12 this may. last September she had a miscarriage and we had the worst experience ever, not only did our favorite Vet leave us during the pandemic the new vet made it seemed like it was our fault our dog had a miscarriage because of our delay and us being uneducated. I am and was still am a clueless dog caregiver when one little furball is pregnant, I kept this new dr in the loop for about 2 weeks every other day. The doctors assured us that she was going to give birth naturally. There was a time I had her get check in a week after I was told she was going to be in labor , I saw a gluey green mucus like strand come out of her. Quickly did we take her to the vet, and the vet said we were wasting our time and money. (3 days after due date) We went home for a couple of days and our dog starting bleeding dark brown, still no signs of baby, we did found out that if a baby was not deliver it could harm our fur ball from a friend. After many visits to this Vets office, we took her once more, after we were told we were wasting our time trying to bring in our fur ball. All in all our fur all couldn't give birth, her baby was as stuck on her pelvic, we had to do an emergency uterus removal and taking out her unborn furball all at the same time. That's caused our dogs anxiety to worsenxOur furball development post partum depression. Only only was our baby's health in danger we lost about 1k altogether, being lyed to about natural birth when clearly how was this vet not able to detect to see if this unborn furball was going to be too big for natural labor. We sadden for the lost , but I would hate anyone to experience the same. If you care about your pets don't take them here. The new vets they don't care, they are careless money sucking humans. After a year that this had been posted this Vet denied caring for my dog which is understandable, somehow I felt threatened to remove this post. I didn't feel like I had a voice to share my opinion . In the conversation with this Vet he was very upset and rude, not professional for clearly denying the care for my dog but even threatened to share my dogs personal health information online. Disgusting. I was so afraid I even removed this post at one point, someone reminded me that I had an opinion. But here it is back as a review for those who are curious about the care . This may/may not be all their care and experience here for their customers but as a care giver to my dog this is my experience. read more

This vets office was once the only place I would recommend back in the glory days when they had the Maze office but oh my how things have changed. Both Dr. Chad and his father are sexist and will absolutely talk down to you. Dr. O'Brien even put his hand on my shoulder as he said "sweetheart..." and then continued to mansplain to me the procedure that his female peer had just explained with perfect understanding...but that's not the worst of it... My dog has had several surgeries here. I took my pet to have her staples removed after the first surgery and they had forgotten a couple of them in. "No problem" I thought, honest mistake. SO, I took my pet back and had them taken out. Unfortunately, my pet needed a second surgery. So again, after the surgery I go to get her staples removed. I tell the technician "please be extra cautious as last time y'all forgot". She scoffed and said "of course". Guess what. They left a few in! I noticed when I walked back to my car. So, I march back inside and say please make sure! They bring her back to me this time promising nothing was forgotten. A few days go by and I look down at my pet and low and freaking behold there is still a staple in her leg. At this point, I'm frustrated. My poor dog has been through enough and now I'm having to drive back to the vet for a third time. When I confronted Dr. Chad about the problem and asked why he didn't count how many they use he said "that's people stuff; we are in such a hurry to finish we don't count we just staple away". I was flabbergasted already but then he went on to say how "sometimes we even have to do micro surgeries to get the rest of the missed staples out." I was so mad. Who then has to pay for that and what about the pet who has to suffer ANOTHER surgery for their lack of attention to detail. I was so mortified. He then went on to say that dog's lick themselves and cause the staples to turn and then the vet can't see it... I said "so it's my dog's fault, because she has been monitored every minute that she is out of a cone so there is literally no way she could have licked her leg". After a few more hmm and haws from Dr. Chad he just said "well let's just get it out and move on". So we go into another room... side note: I had pre-paid for laser therapy to help with the healing and noticed that each time we went for that treatment, the gun had been broken. I even heard the techs laughing that someone had broke it when they were using it to heal their sore muscles from the gym. So there we are in this other room as he is digging around in my dog's leg trying to remove the staple... I let Dr. Chad know how disappointed I was and then brought up the laser gun issue. When I mentioned this issue to Dr. Chad and how my pet was not receiving what we paid for, he told me I was lying. I asked him to call in Chelsea or another one of the vet techs who could attest to me complaining about the laser gun in previous visits but instead he just ignored me and tried to find evidence of when exactly the gun broke. At that point I knew, its not about the pets.... it's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. (and just for context I've spent over 10k at Beckwith hospital over the last 6 years). Flash forward to this weekend... One of my dogs was extremely sick; lethargic, not eating, vomiting/pooping blood so my husband reached out to them to see if they could fit us in as we haven't had the chance to find a new vet yet. Understandably, they were booked. So, my husband found another vet and therefor had paperwork transferred over to the new office. A tech from Beckwith called my husband to let him know it was processed.... and then my phone rang (even though I was not part of any of this situation).... when I answered, it was another technician from Beckwith and her exact words: Dr. Chad wanted me to specifically call you to let you know both of your pets' paperwork was sent over so you shouldn't need anything from us again. So... while my pet is at another vet's office, sicker than well... herself.... Dr. Chad wanted to MAKE SURE I got his passive aggression because I totally needed the extra stress. I did not plan on writing a review about the past issues until that phone call. read more

I've had the privilege of doing business with Beckwith veterinary Hospital for the past 10 or more years. In March 20 20, my great Dane Duke was in his own backyard and was attacked by a neighbors cat. The cat literally pounced on Dukes back with its claws in him, Duke violently shit his stomach and rib cage on the cement sidewalk, his all of his legs coming right out from underneath him. I heard an extremely loud thud, duke let out a painful roar. I immediately called the veterinarians office, they said to watch him and see if he was drinking water eating and urinating. For the next 24 hours I laid on the cement pad right next to my beloved dog. Duke weighed 167 pounds making it impossible for one person to pick him up because he was a rather big boy! I finally managed to get Duke to walk into the family vanAnd sit on the seats. I had called ahead of time and given the staff at Beckwith a warning that I was headed in with an emergency and I explained them in detail the situation. When I arrived at Beckwith veterinary Hospital, the staff immediately helped bring Duke in and brought me right into the room, the veterinarian was in the room within just a few minutes. Unfortunately, Duke had sustained major internal injuries and he was suffering. I had to make the difficult decision to euthanize my best friend, not at all an easy thing to have to do. Duke was the only thing I had left in life, that was a hard day! The staff went out of their way to be kind and gentle, they show true compassion! Located directly next to Beckwith veterinary Hospital is a kennel, if you need to get your dogs in for routine shots routine visits and you are going out of town, both businesses seem to work together wonderfully. I also highly recommend the kennel, their staff is awesome with dogs even large breed dogs like Great Danes. read more

I have recently become a dog owner. First time. I have an Irish wolfhound. My boys name is Augustus. He Is 10 months old. We have been taking him to the O'Brians since he was two months old. They have been amazingly patient with us and our questions. Last Saturday , Augustus developed a rash and I became very concerned. I called the clinic and they let me email photos, called me back by end of day and had some recommendations. A week later, he has nothing. They let me know it was a very busy day as it was a Saturday and one doctor in, but still made time to make me feel better and answer all my questions. I didn't even need to talk to a doctor, Erica took care of showing him photos and talking to him. John took my initial phone call and was very patient as I was very nervous. They will be taking care of my boy always! read more

We have trusted Beckwith with our pets since they were on Maze Blvd. for over 15 years now. Dr. Mike O'Brien is amazing as a doctor and person. During the past year and a half we have suffered tremendous loss and hardship not associated with our animals. Recently I have contacted Beckwith to schedule needed care for our pets and due to a $26 bill they severed their ties with us. Mind you we always pay in full at the time of service. This amount was calculated as an error on their end after we had paid in full. We satisfied this bill on our end but they still are cutting us off. We've always been good for payment. We are small business owners ourselves having worked in Modesto and the surrounding areas for over 20 years. We would never 'sever' ties with our longtime customers. I don't agree with this policy of blacklisting clients. You have our pets lives in your hands. Life happens. Shit happens. We trusted this vet office and in our time of need they slammed the door in our face. One of our dogs had seizures recently and I trusted them to help us. When I called them in distress we were told too bad so sad. I'm still disappointed that I put so much trust into them. read more

The most amazing place I have ever been. I have been going for years. I love this place. They truly care about animals!! My baby just had surgery, due to a fear of Cancer they rushed him in.

Gotta love a vet that tells you they severed ties with you over a cancelation fee of $25 and interest instead of caring for an animals health and well-being and asking how the dog is doing and offering to see us if fee was paid when I haven't even been at the address for 2yrs.....so if you want a vet that Is more worried over how much money they make per patient this is the place for you over vets who went to school for the love of helping an animal Thanks guys great impression after being reffered by another dr in town Mind you since I didn't even know of this fee nor have I received any notice I would of gladly paid it as I didn't know til the phone call but wasn't given that option other than the sarcastic man secretary taking the call read more

NEVER GO TO THIS VET!!!!!!!!!!! After spending the extra $50 for a second fecal test, no one ever called us back. Finally called them back today only to be told the puppy has Giardia! Demanded to speak to an actual vet, who called me back. When I told him how upset I was with their carelessness and service he said, "I know, you wrote a Yelp review." "Oh I see, so as payback for the Yelp review, you don't call us back with test results we paid for?" He claims they did and left a message on my phone. He's a liar. Again, if you love your pet, and your bank account, go elsewhere. read more

LOVE YOUR PET THEN TAKE YOUR PET HERE!! Don't let the state of the art hospital and grounds scare you, They are the best rates and facilities in the Valley. When was the last time you took your dog to the vet got an exam, nails done, and medicine for UNDER $70.00? The Vets Mike, Chad and Pam our the finest I have come across in my 70 years. The first time I took my Collie in 11 years ago, Dr Mike came in paid no attention to us , walked over to Misty and sat on the floor and got to know her for almost 15 minutes, then said Hi to us explained everything so we could understand. I knew right then that this place was very special and still is 11 years later. Staff is great. To tell the truth this place is a 10 STAR rating, and I don't even give 5 stars to anyone. You a fool if you take your pet elsewhere. Mike and Sandy Simpson read more

. I used to go to the branch on maze, had a tumor for my pup removed there. Once they closed we started going to this location. Peter (my pup) had a tumor removed at this location about 3 years ago too. Successful surgery. The nurses and doctors were SO nice. I live in San Jose and have continued going to this vet throughout Peter's life, because I've had great experience. Just recently he started having seizures. So I have been taking him in for check ups. They put him on a medication, and thankfully his seizures have stopped. As I call to refill his prescription, the nurse informs me he needs blood work to make sure the medication is right, and that he is getting the right amount. We schedule the appointment, which is perfect because he is almost out of his prescription. (So I can do this all in one trip) We get to his appointment and see the nurse, the nurse asks when the last time he had the medication, which was the night prior because that was the end of what we had. So they took him and did blood work. After she brings him back she explains to me it the results might not come back clear because he didnt have his prescription today... so we might do it again in a month. I'm kind of disappointed they didnt explain this to me before they did the bloodwork...... I go to the cashier to pay, the new nurse ringing me up, gives me the medication and explains to me, Peter needs to take his medication 4-6 hours prior to the appointment so that we can have clear bloodwork results, and they will need to do the bloodwork again in a month. So after this, I'm upset, and feel used/ taken advantage of. We went through with bloodwork when it was unnecessary, when they knew the bloodwork wouldnt come back accurate. Not only did they waste our time, money, and are putting my dog through more uncomfortable experiences. I went back to complain, the nurse that did the blood work explained the vet still wanted to do the blood work and understood why I was upset, explained to me the nurse that set up the appointment should have explained this to me on the phone and that he should have aknown we were going to be out of the prescription based on Peter's file. She did explain to me she would talk to that nurse. Thankfully the doctor called me the next day. She explained Peter's levels were fine on the medication, and that he doesn't need to be tested again, thankfully. This whole miscommunication was such a huge headache. I appreciate the vet calling me and explaining the situation to me. read more
