Saralyn S.

This is a veterinarian that truly cares. I took my cat to Campus Vet vet Clinic in distress. My current vet advised me to put my cat down at an emergency pet hospital after reviewing a video. I thought I'd give it one chance with the new vet. I'm so glad that I did!l We got six additional weeks of life with my feline and I had peace of mind that I had truly tried everything I could for him. Dr. Bess and her team are so compassionate towards the pet and the owner. They always made time to get us in for an appointment, didn't shame us when we declined an expensive alternative and never rushed a conversation. I highly recommend them.

Thank you from Banker, Nadine, and Badan.

*A long overdue review Dr. Pierson was the vet of my three dogs, Badan, Banker, and Nadine, from 2013 to 2022. He's absolutely a compassionate and skillful vet that I truly trust. 1. Knowledge and expertise. I've brought my pups in for a variety of conditions, ranging from minor ailments (e.g., bleeding toe, foxtail) to common issues (e.g. flea/ticks, ear infection, diarrhea), to major conditions (e.g., pancreatitis, heart murmur, maintenance of a neurological condition). Dr. Pierson always provided effective treatment, proper referrals, and patiently answered my questions. I remember how my pup's toe wouldn't heal for a month until he suggested a foot soak with iodine. 2. Care and compassion. Campus Vet and Dr. Pierson were graciously accommodating when my pups needed emergency care. Several times, they went above and beyond to fit us in to see my pup. My pup had a car accident near Campus Vet Clinic. Dr. Pierson saw him right away. They also gave me space and time to say goodbye to my beloved pup. Although nothing could save him at that time, I'm forever grateful for the care and compassion from Dr. Pierson and his team. 3. About fees. I just checked the invoices from my past visits. Their exam fee is $69 and hasn't gone up during the pandemic. (And what else hasn't?!) Radiology (X-ray) with consultation in total is about $150 cheaper than the price I'm paying in a vet hospital (for non-emergency, non-specialist care) in the south bay. Campus Vet gives a 10% discount for seniors and students on Wednesdays. Compared to several vet hospitals I've tried in Berkeley and in the south bay, this is very reasonable considering the quality of care. I also tried a closer (and cheaper) vet clinic in the south bay when I moved here initially, and I truly regret. Trust me: No one would want to save a small amount of money at the cost of their pups' health and their sanity. What I also deeply appreciate about Dr. Pierson and his staff is their authentic love to my pups. Once (or twice) we bumped into Dr. Pierson and his family outside a restaurant in downtown Berkeley, he recognized my pup Banker, looking pleasantly surprised, and patted him. Two technicians at Campus Vet also gave my pups lots of loving pat whenever we ran into them. Thank you so so much, Dr. Pierson. My pups are very lucky to receive care from you.

Penny at Campus Vet. Can't be trusted.

We'd gone to Campus vet for almost 10 years and the quality and professionalism of the front desk staff has declined significantly.

Due to several errors by my past, long time vet services, I decided to move on. It seemed kinda…read morehopeless as so many now are a different style than what I enjoyed throughout a long life. "Old fogey", I was beginning to think. There's hope! I just had my first appointment with my two dogs -- a full on 80 lb. Rhodesian Ridgeback and a mutt half her size. I didn't have to wait weeks for an appointment, either. Just walking in the waiting room felt different. The staff so polite. The system well set up. Nobody waiting long periods just to pay the bill! Clients helping me with the door, my hands busy with leash and cane. The examination room was spotless. Various staff of different specialities were universally patient, precise, willing to listen, had good questions and gentle with both dogs. Approached each slowly enough to become a friend, establishing trust. Good eye contact. Not a single fault among any, including the Vet herself. I see that there are complaints regarding tests and charges. My former vet used the same amounts so I suspect the big jump is universal and has to do with updated science. Likely the outside lab that does the tests is in control of those prices but for markup. My former service providers were definitely odd about my refusing the second round of repeated tests for a condition that is incurable "just to see" rather than renew a prescription from their own service given a little over a month ago that worked perfectly. They then handled my cancer ridden dog roughly twice -- the second time staring directly at me. Of course, this brought on more lesions within hours with this histamine-oriented cancer. But I digress. This new vet does not deserve the distrust I see in the comments. You know, we always learn more about the critic than about the topic. Resistance to antibiotics is a multi species danger that has increased tremendously in the past several decades. Confirmation is a major way to guard all mammals and other species from antibiotics becoming entirely ineffective for all of us. Over the counter antibiotics contribute too. If there isn't a regulation already for testing, there should be. In the mean time, my new vet has prescribed what is likely ok -- but must be sure -- antibiotic until the test results come through. Since urinary tract infections are dangerous for the elderly (again, humans and other mammals alike are at increased risk) this is the professional, medically sound approach. Lastly, I'll remark on the follow up email and phone call. So impressive. Making sure (since the email asked for a response) that I had received it (such a polite way to put it), a phone message was recorded during a meeting I was attending. I read the original email and returned the call. Everything is settled, a prescription is filled and awaiting pickup. That's real care for the dog involved and an efficient, reasonable system. So maybe I'm not an old fogey in this area after all. Thought myself spoiled as the childhood vet was head of Ohio State University Vet school in Columbus. There are still vets who are patient, professional, honest and who have good bedside manner... Yay!

They patiently endured all kinds of rudeness, borderline harassment, and ungrateful treatment from owners who were clearly stressed about their animals. It was very obvious that everyone who works here has the safety and health of the animals in mind, even when the adults are less than grateful. Everyone whose pet was stable was seen in order, which took some time because while we were there they got 2 different animals who required emergency treatment and were immediately rushed back. While we were waiting the staff chatted with us and generally made us feel really welcome. The vet was very clear and understanding about what was going on with our dog and we left with the right treatment and medicines. She is now feeling much better.

They really took care of my girl in oncology but she didn't make it. They provided clear expectations on the quality of life for my two elders girls and helped me make the right decisions to put them to rest. My youngest cat, who we only had for less than two years, has shown sign of chronic gastrointestinal issues and every time we've take him in, they weren't as compassionate. Within his less than two years of life, he's been to the ER for the same symptoms four times. Three were at PETs. We chose to bring him here because of our past experience with our girls. For his care here, the vets were evasive and push incredible expensive diagnostic that didn't actually solve the issue. Every single time they just gave him pain meds after blood work and radiology showed nothing wrong. We didn't want to say anything, but Dr. Peterson seemed to be on a stimulant or some kind of meds while she spoke to us. She kept repeating the same questions over and over after we answered them and was talking a mile a minute and continously interrupting us. It was jarring. She wouldn't refer us to a specialist or internal medicine unless we wanted to pay even more. This is very predatory. Thankfully, we brought him to another facility for the same situation when we couldn't make it to PETs. After gathering records from that office and PETS, this facility called me and sent me a list of internal medicine practices I could take my cat to. They did this without forcing us to come in or saying they couldn't do it unless we did more procedures. They got back to me the same day with his records. This is a stark difference from how we were treated at PETs. PETs didn't send his records for several days. They spelled my name wrong several times after asking me multiple times how to spell it and continued to say they could help us further unless we wanted to pay more. They have become a money-grabbing predatory practice. And I can only say this with confidence because of the stark difference on how we were treated at PETs vs the other facility.

As a pet owner, that level of compassion means a lot. Veterinary emergencies can be overwhelming, and being treated with patience and understanding made the entire experience so much less stressful. Ben may have been a little dramatic today but he came home safe, cared for, and already acting like himself again (especially after snacks).

The clinic gives out free treats for both cats and dogs, which was a nice touch. Their prices do lean a little on the higher side compared to some other clinics I looked at nearby but they provided close estimates over the phone beforehand. They offer basic blood/urine work and have an in-house pharmacy for some medications. They also do basic bladder ultrasounds, but for more advanced imaging, they refer out to other nearby clinics they trust. Overall, I highly recommend this clinic.

Common sense is not her strength; for appointments (can only be booked by email), she only gives days of availability not times.

It is very stressful playing phone tag with her or reminding her to respond to emails. I really like Dr. Brown, but I cannot imagine how I can rely on this clinic when my pet is having an emergency and there is no one to speak to. Voicemail directs emergencies to a third party. It would be terrible to be unable to reach your veterinarians during an emergency. Their physical address maps to a UPS or a rug store so you can't go in person for an emergency either.
