Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center & Urgent Care

Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center & Urgent Care

Our family has been going to Bishop Ranch for several years. We probably first brought our dog…read moreLumen in around 7 or 8. Prior to this we didn't have much vet exposure or a few times in earlier years elsewhere. Our dog was always seen with love and care. As she aged she did come down with cancer with a mass cell tumor. Bishop Ranch was very truthful, open minded, and helped guide us along the way. The diagnosis was given roughly 2 months before her 11th bday. We decided on palliative care which Bishop Ranch 100% supported. Our dog went on to live another 18 months under no direct treatment. We saw multiple vets, phone visits with advice nurses and doctors throughout and just met with so much love. The care these doctors and office staff gave really had us feel secure in knowing that when it was time to put our dog down they would be the best ones to support us. Unfortunately we had to put our beautiful GSP Lumen down about 12 days ago. It was so heavy but the vets were all so in tune and supportive to our family. Today I opened up the mail expecting a generic card from the vet and lo and behold the staff hand wrote an entire card filled to the brim over our dogs loss. This truly meant so much to my family and I/ The village of support is so heartfelt. The service we have continued to receive ongoing has been nothing but amazing. I can't recommend this vet enough. We will continue to bring our other dog, Pepper here who recently joined the family.

They listened carefully, explained everything clearly, and made me feel supported throughout the whole process. It was obvious that they genuinely care about both pets and their owners. I really appreciated how thorough, patient, and compassionate they were and I appreciated that they gave me several options to treat him. I left feeling much more informed and reassured. I'm very grateful for the excellent care Oliver received and definitely recommend Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center to anyone looking for a veterinary team they can trust.

We just tried Veg San Ramon for the 1st time and are thrilled! We truly wish we could have these…read morefolks as our regular vet! 1. Kind, warm, compassionate staff and environment in general (thank you to Dr. Victoria, Stephanie, and Bella!) 2. Quick to be seen 3. No trying to sell us on unnecessary tests. 4. Cost absolutely reasonable. 5. Open floorplan makes you feel seen, not ignored, a part of the experience...able to easily interact with other pet parents and the staff in general, including frequent hello's (by name) to our pupper! For reference, we have had horrible experiences with other ERs, including not communicating with us, cold, doing xrays and tests without asking us 1st, then charging us literally thousands...only to be told our dog will only live a couple of months with an incorrect cancer diagnosis...3 years later and many other opinions later, here we are, happier than ever that they were wrong (Sage). Incredibly grateful to VEG! They made a scary situation unbelievably pleasant!

This emergency runs Ike a fine tuned concept. My kitty got attention and the best care. You must be financially able to spend on your pet. This is emergency care and can be costly. But if able so worth the quality care. They save lives. The vets are great!

WHRN we called, they said they were booked solid for two weeks, but could squeeze us in on Thursday morning. When we arrived there was one patient leaving and nobody else there. It was the same when we left. They lied about being busy. I brought my son's cat in to be looked at. The Assistent asked some vague questions and audio recorded the meeting. Odd. When the Vet came in, the assistent was absent, so not much sharing of info. She spent a few minutes looking at him, checked his heart, then got up to leave. I asked her what her opinion was, and she said she would work up a treatment plan, and left. Treatment plan, I'm not sure what the symptoms are! 5 minutes later the assistent comes in with a clipboard and a sheet listing out $1,250.00 of various actions, and would like my approval. I still had zero diagnosis or feedback from the Doctor! That is called high-pressure selling to vulnerability. No diagnosis, but let's run every test, take x-rays, intravenous hydration, and give antibiotics when there's no wound, no diagnosis. A good Vet, only recommends what's necessary, but I suspect this is the standard procedure for anyone who comes in. I bet many older people get sucked into this hustle every day. Never give in to this! Nobody's loved pet should be turned into a medical pin cushion so they can generate as much sales as possible. When you work with a legitimate, well intended Vet, if they have no diagnosis, the answer is "let's observe, and check in a few days." It is NOT, let's spend $1,250 and put the animal through unnecessary stress, not knowing what to look for! This is playing on a person's emotional vulnerability. It's unethical, and inhumane. Do not go here. When there are four people in the front office and only two in back, the focus isn't on the animals' welfare, it's on billing. They should be attending medical seminars, not sales seminars. Pathetic. They started the relationship lying about how busy they are. That says it all. I'd like to see these people run out of town for such bad behavior in this community.

When it came time to make that difficult decision to put to sleep our 17 year-old kitty, we knew we…read moredidn't want her last moments to be traumatic with a trip to the vet. She absolutely hates being in her carrier and going to the vet. We wanted her last moments to be in the comfort of her favorite blanket on our couch with us petting her to sleep. I called Dr. Williams in the morning and she squeezed us in between house calls. (She probably skipped lunch for us.) The first thing she did when she arrived was stroke our kitty and let her know that she was a friend. Dr. Williams explained to us exactly what to expect. We stayed with our kitty the entire time, petting her and watching her drift off into a peaceful sleep... I'm very thankful to Dr. Williams and her assistant for their loving service. They were professional and caring. Dr. Williams even gave us a hug before leaving. What a kind and gentle soul she is.

From the first phone call, Dr. Williams and her assistant Jeana, showed the professional compassion…read morethat we needed with our beloved 14 yr Aussie about to pass away. They arranged to make the house call that very day. I never felt rushed or pressured. Dr. Williams even recommended someone closer to us if needed. Then when they arrived at the set time, our buddy had already passed. Nevertheless, Dr. Williams gave my wife a hug on arrival, then another one for me and was extremely patient with us as we went through the paperwork needed. Then as they took him away, Dr. Williams again gave us a much needed hug. That personal touch was very warm and unexpected. Just thinking about it again makes me tear up. Thank you so much Dr. Williams and Jeana.

Dr. Venkat is the most compassionate, gentle, highly skilled Veterinarian our family has ever had. He genuinely cares about animals and giving them the best possible life.

Dr. Venkat was there too and allowed Mabel to transition in peace in the comfort of her own home, gently on her blanket, surrounded by love. Dr. Venkat offers the option of coming to your home, because that is how much he cares. His skill level is unsurpassed. Our fur baby family is in excellent hands with Dr. Venkat.

I can see why now after my several experiences in the last few years. After today, I am definitely not coming back. What I don't enjoy is the overpricing of items and constant forceful persuasion to get this vaccine or get this test done despite declining the first time. It feels like they are always trying to sell me something or trying to add more items to the bill. And I'm always leaving paying $400-600. Paid for apoquel more than double the price of costco. Got these miconahex wipes ( I thought it was rx), paid more than double the price. Found it on amazon for way less! Always check your receipt. On more than one occasion, I have caught errors such as being charged for something I declined or double charging me for something. Trying to find another place but when something is urgent, I come here since they aren't busy and have availability. And they no longer provide email rx for prescription. Have to go in person to get in during a work day and with limited hours, this can be difficult..
