    Waiting for the Dr.
    Bah H.

    I woke up to my dog vomiting all over the house because it was reddish color, I threw on some clothes and called what I thought was Tru Vet Emergency in Petaluma. Well I got Center Veterinary and they were able to see my dog, diagnosed him and provided treatment quickly. I was in and out of there. He had eaten a liquid amber tree pod and it was irritating his digestive system. Since I live in Novato I think I will be going here in the future.

    This review is specifically about Dr. Mellisa Hart, a veterinarian at South Novato Animal Hospital…read more Plainly, I can't say enough good things about her both as a person and as a brilliant and caring veterinarian. Maybe this resonates with some-- the feeling that some vets have lost track of the essence of why they (hopefully) became a vet; that is to help animals with compassion and aggressive medicine. I always want my vet to approach the care of my pets, which are family members, the same way I would want a human physician to take care of those I love. This is exactly who Dr. Hart is. She will diagnose, treat and follow up in all the right ways. You don't get the feeling that you just dropped some hundreds of $$ and that's it, a wish of good luck and any further contact is a new appointment, often weeks away for several more $$. I am not saying her services are necessarily less expensive than vet care in the bay area-- what I am saying is the quality is better, the care and concern is authentic and the follow up is particularly unique. You will continue to have contact to fully understand whatever is going on as well as additional recommendations, whether medication based or diagnostic. She doesn't upsell but does follow through and her care for the pets is undeniable. I simply cannot recommend Dr. Melissa Hart more.

    I've taken my dogs here since they were puppies…read more... There has been a recent change is staff and the new vet treated my dog for an ear infection, and although they did a scraping and he tested positive for infection, the vet refused to give him antibiotics. I did receive an ear ointment which reduced fungus and moisture, but the infection wasn't treated even after multiple trips. It's been 3 months and he's still shaking his head. Last week I was scheduled for a recheck due to the persistent issue and additionally he has some fleshy bumps between his toes. My appt was rescheduled for a "doctor issue" for today and when I showed up, the vet refused to see him. The staff said the vet will only perform wellness exams at this time and will not treat illnesses or other concerns. I'm incredibly frustrated at my appt being moved, and then showing up today only to be turned away due to the vet having the power to decide on not treating animals at a veterinary clinic. Furthermore, it cost me almost $1000 in multiple visits for his ears, only to be in the same boat of his infection still persisting. Needless to say, I am switching vets since my dog can basically just be refused treatment. As a side note: the front desk staff was very kind and apologetic for their vet's behavior and refusal to treat my dog.

    I moved to this clinic in 2017. For years our vet was Dr. Bennett, who is competent and thorough,…read morebut not super warm and fuzzy. A few years ago we started seeing Dr. Ortiz and absolutely love her! Because I like to build a relationship with our vet much like my own personal physician, I make routine appointments specifically asking for Dr. Ortiz. Sometimes we get scheduled with her and sometimes not, which I find unacceptable. To secure time with Dr. Ortiz, I waited a month and accepted a time way later in the day than I like for a recent routine appointment. Only once we were in the exam room, I was told that we would be seen by a different vet. I get that things come up and appointments change, but I see a pattern with this that I don't appreciate. And while I always voice my concerns, I feel like nobody even cares anymore. I think this clinic's business model no longer meets my needs and I will be looking for a new vet.

The office staff is rude too they would not even call me back. Finally after I tried twice they called to say we cannot take on this case. Well it's not a vicious tiger it's a 17 year old poodle that is grumpy and needs sedation. I am surprised she has any clients at all but after reading the reviews here I can see others feel the same!

    This place is insane. Everyone there is incompetent, rushing around, and making mistakes. Although…read moresome grin at you in passing in the waiting area, some scowl. You can feel the tension. The vet techs repeatedly gave my cat the wrong dose of pain medication. When I called about it, a whiny and incredibly rude receptionist snapped "I don't know what to tell you." What a bizarre response. The medicine in question is based upon my cat's weight and I discovered they were continually giving him too low a dose. He was clearly within a prescribed weight. Rather than take responsibility and apologize to me, she and everyone actually blamed me and began ganging up on me. The vet, Doug Evans, called me an hour or so later and went into a rage about how veterinarians are killing themselves and also screamed at me about all the medications the vet techs have to know - and don't I realize that? What? I should feel sympathy for THEM because they don't know how to properly medicate my pet that I PAY them to do? Of course, I was upset that my cat was getting improper care for his pain and even more upset that when I called about it I was treated dismissively at first, then with a how dare I complain attitude! What bothered them was that I had the temerity to get angry about their incompetence, and their dismissive, strange behavior that caused us harm. The vet actually made a ridiculous analogy that he doesn't get mad at whoever answers the phone when he has to call about a question on his credit card. So, my cat's suffering at his and his clinic's hands was being compared to a credit card call! The receptionist actually said to me "you're not being very nice to me right now" in her whiny, childish voice. I'm not being nice to her? I would not have become angry except for her dismissive tone and attitude with me, leaving me hanging with "I don't know what to tell you." She was completely incapable of empathy and completely hostile. She was the rude one, not me. The state board should shut the place down. That vet, Evans, screaming at me about the suicides of his colleagues definitely needs to stop practicing. Not only is he horrible and insensitive, he needs to be held accountable for his disturbing behavior. I did nothing wrong but THEY DID. As verified in my records. These people are absolute jerks. They caused me so much stress and they hurt my cat. Stay well clear.

We were warmly greeted by Beverly, who was not only friendly and helpful but also incredibly patient while trimming Julia's nails (no easy task since she's a wiggler!). She handled her with such care and gentleness. Dr. Nagra is truly a gem. From the moment he walked in, he was genuine, kind, and attentive. He took the time to really get to know Julia's condition, asked thoughtful questions, and gave her one of the most thorough exams she's ever had. Unlike other vets we've seen who sometimes rush through, he carefully checked her eyes, ears, and overall health, explaining everything clearly along the way. He answered all of our many questions with patience, empathy, and deep knowledge. Most importantly, he made us feel that Julia's well-being was his top priority. Taylor at the front desk was also wonderful--friendly and efficient in helping us check out smoothly. Overall, I would highly, highly recommend this practice. Even if you're traveling from out of town (like we were), it is absolutely worth it to know your furry loved one is in such good hands. We've already scheduled a follow-up and are happy to have found Julia's new primary vet. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank you to Dr. Nagra and the entire team for your outstanding care!
