    Just had my best friend sent to the Rainbow Bridge. This place handled everything well. They even…read morehave a comfy couch area to hold your friend to the Rainbow Bridge. I'm glad I chose this place, instead of the BC vet. BC Vet wouldn't give me an estimate, after the thousands of dollars I have spent there. Furthermore, I could hear Dr. G talking shit in the back ground! Shame on you, BC vet! Anyway, My buddy went out in peace and compassion, as he deserved....this vet is the best to take your pet to the Rainbow Bridge.

    1 Star -- Traumatic experience, lack of post-operative care and compassion…read more I am sharing this because I truly wish I had read the warnings before trusting this clinic with my dog. On February 10, my senior dog underwent an eye enucleation performed by Dr. Evans at Soquel Animal Hospital. After having his eye surgically removed -- a major procedure -- he was sent home without antibiotics and without any pain medication. Within a few days, his surgical site became infected and began leaking. I called the hospital Monday because it was clear something was wrong. I was told Dr. Evans was on duty, but that he "did not have adequate time" to see my dog, and we were advised to go to an emergency hospital instead. What followed was heartbreaking. My dog required emergency care, additional medications, and ultimately a second corrective surgery with a specialist to repair complications from the first procedure. This meant more anesthesia, more suffering for him, and thousands of dollars in additional expense that could likely have been avoided with appropriate post-operative care and follow-up. Watching your animal suffer after you trusted a professional to help them is devastating. What has stayed with me most is the lack of humanity and accountability. Sending an animal home after major surgery without infection prevention or pain control is unacceptable. Refusing to evaluate a post-operative patient with complications is even worse. After this experience, I went back and read other reviews and found concerning patterns. I deeply regret not doing that beforehand. Please advocate strongly for your pets. Ask exactly what medications are being given, what should be sent home, and what happens if complications occur. I would never want another family to go through what we did.

    For everyone on here, leaving reviews of one stars because you had to wait two hours for an animal…read morethat was not seriously hurt....y'all need to check yourselves. This is an emergency room. When was the last time you went to a human emergency room and didn't have to wait more than two hours? The only cases that don't have to wait two hours come by ambulance. This place is utterly amazing. The staff is super professional. They take care of everybody wonderfully and yes, just like all medical whether animal or human, they are desperately understaffed. Let's give a big shout out to these amazing caring professionals Dr. Macy Dr. Akol, Dr. nicki Dr. Lahue, Dr. Kalff Dr Pressel all the doctors I forgot and the best nurses in the entire world. I've been coming here for over 30 years and only receive the best, most attentive, kindest and gracious of care. Folks need to understand how long things take and what the word triage means. I am disgusted reading one star reviews from people with no concept of how much time good thorough animal care takes and how much things cost. An estimate is an estimate they have only ever charged me for what was needed. They are utter professionals, a very highly regarded facility and quite frankly all you people that are sending in one star reviews don't deserve their service or care. Leon loves Pacific & Santa Cruz Vet so much!!!!

    Is the wait usually long? Yes (and it would be great if they could get more vets on site). But I…read morethink it's important to remember how difficult it is to be an emergency vet/tech/and support and try not to lose perspective. People in this field go into this field because they care - more than most- and they deal with and see a lot of really hard situations on a daily basis. Every time my husband and I have been here (with at least four different pets through the last 10-15 years ranging from mild to very serious) the care and veterinary expertise has been very good. I'm grateful for that! I hope they can get the support they need so they can help our communities' fur family members effectively and efficiently.

    My crusty aging miniature poodle has been a client of Aptos Capitola Veterinary Hospital since…read more2020. I think we are "Furequent Flyers" at this point- the staff here have nursed Lorraine through tumor removals, teeth extractions, a dog attack, rampant diarrhea, and many, many vaccines. I feel that the care team at Aptos-Cap are kind and also very professional: They have always ensured my dog has access to the highest standard of care but are considerate and non-judgmental when I decline procedures or ask for cheaper alternatives (e.g. declining an echocardiogram and sticking to x-rays and careful monitoring of my dog's heart condition). I've had the pleasure of working with all three veterinarians at the clinic and each of them are cost conscious, reminding me of prices as they build the invoice and suggesting strategies for meeting my needs. For example, they determined that my very anxious dog needed a sedative (gabapentin?) for a procedure and Dr. Hage explained to me the steep price difference between intravenous versus the slower but cheaper oral option. My dog is on multiple medications and they have happily given me paper-copies of the prescriptions to buy my meds at wholesale pharmacies. All the techs I've had are very gentle and patient with my dog (shout-out Trish!). Their new clinic is *noice* and feels exceptionally clean. Georgia at the front desk is the sweetest but on top of it with last-minute requests. No complaints about costs... Vet care in California is extraordinarily expensive across the board and Santa Cruz County is one of the most expensive places in the state to live or run a small business. I waited in long long lines at the free monthly vet care clinics when I was younger. You get what you pay for.

    I grew up with horses, training horses, training riders, showing, trail riding, shoeing, and doing…read morea lot of our own diagnosing and basic vet care. I have also had the difficulties of having some serious medical cases in the horses in my family. Because of these things I KNOW how to interview a vet and give them real, serious questions/scenarios in the interview, and I can quickly recognize an equine vet who doesn't know what they are doing and is trying to pretend they do. I recently moved to Santa Cruz County, and, in doing my research and interviewing of vets, I was surprised and thrilled by the wealth of great large animal vets available here! There are only a few large animal vets that I would not trust to care for my horses, in this county! (Normally, there are only a few large animal vets I WOULD trust, so we are very lucky in this area!) When I interviewed Anne, I quickly found myself liking her friendly, caring manner. She is happy to help clients learn more about how to care for any condition their animals have (or might have in the future), and clearly loves to talk about animals and veterinary care in all areas! (This is a must in a vet, for me.) She is also extremely knowledgeable in a large variety of equine conditions, and is willing to try different things if the standard methods of treatment aren't working. She is also willing to contact other doctors and specialists to see what they would recommend in difficult cases, as well as recommend specialists or other vets if the clients are interested in taking their pets medical care to that level. I have been extremely pleased with the care Anne has given my horses. The only minuses about having Anne as your vet are: - If you want a vet to just shut up and do the job, Anne may not be the vet for you as she prefers clients who are interested in taking an active role in their animals' care. - To contact Anne, you have to leave a message on her answering machine. Then her vet tech (who is out on calls with her all day long) will call you back to make an appointment. This usually doesn't happen for several days or more, if the appointment is just an annual checkup; although they get back to you within a day or 3 if the condition is more serious. (If you have an emergency, they have a group emergency agreement, with several great vets in it, one of which will get back to you ASAP and arrange for your pet to get care. -- Thus, the vets get to sleep several nights per week, and those of us with emergencies get quick responses.) Anne works with horses, goats, sheep, and pigs. I would highly recommend Dr. Anne Terry for anyone who loves their horses and wants the best care possible for them!

    Since finally connecting with Dr Terry I found that she is, in fact, a wonderful vet & person. I…read morehighly recommend her.......The answering service is what it is...but she does give you another number in cases of emergency.....I will be using her services in the future.
