    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a veterinarian that truly cares.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Bess and her team are so compassionate towards the pet and the owner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

And pretty affordable, all things considered. I have one complaint, though. I called twice to the front desk to ask a couple questions about a prescription for my dog. The woman on the phone was not very helpful at all. She couldn't answer my questions and kept referring me to their website, not knowing where on the website I could find what I was looking for.

I would give this place 5 stars. However, when I came in for my cat's yearly checkup in 2024, Dr. Sirkis had started the appointment accusing me of not caring for my cat's pain and was not willing to hear anything edgewise related to my cat's medical history once she had formed that opinion. When she found the mass in my cat's throat, her tone changed from rude to just plain awkward. "Oo... *wince* He has cancer." As I started to ask about his prognosis while crying and hyperventilating, she gives me a "Yea... Sorry" and "Well, when do you want to schedule the euthanasia?" I was shell shocked that someone who was supposedly regularly interacting with patients would so callously bring up putting down my child. I responded that I would make an appointment with an oncologist (who was infinitely more patient and sympathetic, shout out Dr. Kidd!), and she responded with "Well, if you want to go see someone who's going to say exactly the same thing I did, sure." After the appointment, I double checked with the nurse who came out with my cat to make sure there was truly nothing to be done. In contrast, she was super gentle and sympathetic, and she let me have a good cry. She was a real one for helping me keep it together. Later, when Dr. Sirkis called me with my biopsy results, she continuously brought up euthanasia over and over again. Nothing about keeping my cat comfortable or how long I might get to keep him around. Just "euthanasia" "when do you want to euthanize" "euthanizing would be..." It was cruel and heart wrenching. I asked her to stop talking about euthanasia and to never contact me again. She still sent me a generically printed get well card, rub a little more salt in the wound I guess. The issue is not that she wants me to consider euthanasia. It's that she was heartless and cruel in her demeanor. She was the person I was supposed to depend on during this process, and instead, she made the grieving process even more isolating and emotionally taxing. I felt uncomfortable even having to contact the hospital for more pain meds just in case I would have to talk to her again (in which, even though she knew my cat was in pain, would insist on only giving me a few days dose worth, so I would have to continuously make trips for more medicine, even though the oncologist was perfectly fine giving me a week or two's worth). I literally waited until only now to post this review because I finally moved and don't have to fear the possibility of this horrid shell of a person potentially taking out her displeasure on my other cat during an appointment. She's a terrible person, and since she was so willing to kick me down when I was low, I will say that her last name is perfectly fitting for a clown like her.

They were so kind, as we said goodbye to our tiny boy that we had bottle fed and raised from birth. The in house diagnostics are great. We didn't have to wait long at all for the test results. The 2nd time, we brought in our elderly girl. She was 16. When her vet turned us away when we came to tell them we were coming in (they told us "maybe tomorrow"), we headed here. She'd been sick a while, we knew it was coming. Of course, that didn't make it any easier. The staff here was absolutely wonderful. As soon as we walked in, they took us out of the lobby so we wouldn't have to sit with all the happy/healthy animals. They didn't question us, they saw her and told us we were making the right choice. They brought her a soft cat bed to lay in. They gave us all the time we needed to hold her and love her, until we were ready. No pressure. Then they allowed my 16 year old daughter to hold her beloved girl until she was gone. We were allowed more time with her. Then they gave us each a vile of her beautiful fur. We weren't rushed. We did everything on our terms/time. And our girl left this world surrounded in love. I would 100% recommend PETS Referral Center. I hope we never have to go back. But, we would of we had too.

The team put me in a room where I could talk with my family and make a decision with them (since I was dog sitting and everyone else was out of town). While the decision needed to be made quickly about next steps, they were empathetic and patient with us. We opted to put our girl to sleep; she was in a lot of suffering. The doctor was so respectful and it was a peaceful process. Thank you for caring for our Chispita. We are grateful for a sad yet peaceful experience.

She was incredibly thorough, compassionate, and clearly very good with animals. The entire staff was great--professional, friendly, and attentive. I felt very comfortable here, and I think my cat, despite it being a new environment, felt relatively at ease as well. They're very transparent about pricing and never pressured me into getting any specific tests. They answered all my questions clearly and made sure I understood everything. 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.

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.
