My dog Remy loved that Vet's Here came over for a visit! He had no idea that he was being examined…read moreor evaluated in any way. He even happily lounged on the floor of the van while we toured. This would never happen at a veterinary office with all the scents. As a puppy Remy was struck by a car & subsequently given up by his owners at a veterinary clinic. This fear of abandonment has made it difficult to go into such settings. Vet's Here is worth the extra cost for a stress free experience. The clinicians have my utmost confidence and respect. Was so impressed with the little operating room, decided to attach a photo.

She is an excellent, knowledgeable vet who is very compassionate and gentle with my dog. I really appreciate her giving me different options, not all that I necessarily follow, but allows me to makeup my own mind with all the facts. The tech and office staff are always helpful and cheerful as well.

In response to the owner…read more Your response is disappointing because it completely avoids taking accountability for what actually happened. Hazel did not present with a cough. She presented with difficulty breathing and gagging whenever she opened her mouth to bark or yawn, and that her bark was now non existent. Those were the symptoms I repeatedly reported. You state that medications were provided to keep her comfortable. She was sent home with an anti-nausea medication and an allergy medication. She was not sent home with pain medication or steroids despite the obvious discomfort she was in. So I'm not quite sure where the team "cared so deeply" during her exams or after. You also state that a specialty referral was recommended. That is not what happened. After the test results, Dr. Keusis called me and said Hazel's results were "just leaning towards old age like she'd previously noted". It was then 5 days later only after I expressed how disappointed I was with the lack of recommendations, lack of urgency, and complete lack of follow through, and told Dr. Keusis I was taking Hazel to an internal medicine specialist myself, that a referral was finally offered. I was left to figure out on my own what my next steps should be while my dog continued struggling with her symptoms, and continued to get worse. If laryngeal paralysis was being evaluated, why was Hazel's airway obstruction not identified? If visualization of her larynx was limited, why was I never informed of that? If her airway could not be adequately assessed, why wasn't an immediate referral recommended instead of reassuring me she was "just leaning towards old age" like she'd said? When the internal specialist said the swelling was "obvious". Rather than acknowledging where your care and communication fell short, your response rewrites the timeline to make it appear as though everything appropriate was done from the beginning. It wasn't. I wasn't expecting perfection. I was expecting my concerns to be taken seriously, my dog to be advocated for, and appropriate recommendations to be made without me having to push for them myself. Even now, instead of acknowledging that your team let both Hazel and me down, you've chosen to defend your actions and misrepresent what actually occurred. That lack of accountability is exactly why I wrote the review

If you hate your animal enough to have this monster as your vet, just be kind and shoot your animal…read morein the backyard or leave it in a field to find a new life. This "man" is an awful human being that got into the wrong line of work. I went there twice and my dog and I were both absolutely traumatized both times. I went back the second time to give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was having the worst day of his life the first time, but no... he's just a complete vapid waste of human space... an ass**** of the highest regard. Dr. Sam? Can you hear me? I know you can. Might I recommend you take that bottle of ear wash and shove it far up your own cavity. Maybe a quality wash might help. Nothing could make you behave worse toward animals OR the humans that love them.. that's for sure. You can bet that I will / have told everyone in my atmosphere to not go here. FIRST REPLY: To respond to your comment, let me say that I agree that feedback needs to reflect full and accurate context, so I'll remind all the readers that you have an ulterior motive to respond and lie (such as: call me a liar and/or delusional), because the success of your business can be effected by these reviews. On the other hand, I don't have an ulterior motive, my life moves on whether I tell the truth or not... and I am telling the truth. Look how many reviews on here talk about how inappropriately Dr. Sam behaves. It's an issue. You can ignore it, but it doesn't stop being an issue, even if you do. Dr. Sam was absolutely brusque in his communication, but it's funny, because he yelled at me to essentially get out of his way while they examined him, but then when they couldn't control him anymore, they asked for my help. Hmm. Your staff wasn't concerned about me getting bit then... right? And you know why the staff asked for my help? Because he KNOWS me. He doesn't know the staff there. He trusts ME. This is why that poor dog shook like a goddamn leaf and was trying everything he could to escape their clutches. They were either swinging him around like a ragdoll or holding him down like a live bomb. It didn't have to be like that. He's a sweet boy and when he feels safe, he'll totally comply. Maybe having a shred of compassion would've helped. As you implied, I definitely was not the "good guy" to my pet that day... I felt awful for having handed him over to humans who borderline assaulted him. We both felt powerless to do much of anything. I made a promise to protect him and I failed that day. SECOND REPLY: At no time was I "hanging on to my pet". Nothing even remotely close to that. Since whoever is responding here admits that they weren't in the exam room, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you make that allegation out of ignorance and not deceit. "Due to insurance requirements, owner's are seldom allowed to restrain their own pets." If treated with any level of compassion and kindness, my dog would not need to be restrained. You know... maybe greet him when you come in the door, rather than just burst in and immediately start yelling at me and man-handling him or let him smell your hand and give him a minute to get used to you. This is why you're so concerned about being bitten... because you're "GO-TO" is to restrain the animals immediately. You are asking to be bit. "Perhaps Dr. Sam was a bit brusque in telling you that" - See, you made a mistake here, because you admitted that he's brusque (definition: blunt in manner or speech often to the point of ungracious harshness). There are a ton of vets out there, people. Even if this is all you accepted as truth, do you want to put your animal in the hands of someone who is described as "ungraciously harsh" even by his own staff? Furthermore, your admittance of this fact adds validity to the rest of my entire review, so thank you for that. "Your abusive, unfiltered language pretty much speaks to the person you are." You'll have to forgive me, I guess that is the way I respond when I see animals being treated so horribly. Since you edited/deleted portions of your first comment and you may plan to do so again, I have screenshotted what you said here so that viewers can follow along, fully and accurately. I know that's important to both of us.

This is a somewhat unfortunate review, as I found Tina Taylor to be very friendly, and as far as I…read morecould tell, a very good vet. But the overall experience was unfriendly, and completely counterproductive. I went there to take care of my two older golden retrievers, and they are really great dogs. Everybody loves them. They have arthritis, and I wanted to get accupuncture, which I had used before. I first tried to get an appointment there about a year ago. When doing so, I asked about accupuncture and the receptionist said "we'll see about that", or something that sounded "disempowering", or at least discouraging-- "just leave the thinking to us". I insist on collaboration. Frankly when I see people in professions who hesitate to answer me, I think they don't know what they're talking about, so I continue to ask questions. So I didn't make that appointment, and a year passed and I finally did make an appointment with Dr. Taylor, who had been specifically recommended to me. I didn't have much of an objection to their manner, then, but it still lingered in my mind. Dr. Taylor wrote a prescription but their price was three times petmeds prices. They charge you to get the prescription, triple charge you for filling it, (seriously, their price was literally three times what Petmeds gets for it) then add a dispensing fee to that. I asked if I could have Petmeds call them to confirm the prescription and they rudely and absolutely said "no", with no further explanation. So I took the prescriptions with me and found that Petmeds doesn't accept faxed prescriptions from the customer, but that I needed to mail them in. Time was short, so I went back to the office and asked if "just this once" they could fax them to petmeds, because "just this once" petmeds had agreed that they would do this over the phone. The people at the desk said no, they couldn't do that, and offered no explanation. Naturally, I'm thinking that this office wants to keep the retail end of their "professional" practice as a good cash flow generator--and that was more important to them than taking care of my dogs. The office staff had shown no willingness to help me in any way with this, so I asked them to ask one of the doctors if they could make an exception. I expected to know what the reason was, at least, and why that reason would completely over-ride my need for haste, at that point. And I would have accepted a real answer. But I was taken aback when Joni Samuels, another doc there, not even the one who treated my dogs--and I'd never seen her before--came out, looking impatient and frustrated. I asked if they would do it, and she said bluntly, with (again) no explanation: "no". She was not forthcoming with any more information, but I persisted, and she said that her attorney "wouldn't let them" as they have "no way of knowing if they're licensed in California". I later found their license number in about 15 seconds, by googling it--it's patently unbelievable they can't find if a pharmacy is licensed or not-- so being outspoken, I told her that didn't seem like a good reason and that it shouldn't over-ride a patient's need for care. Samuels then accused me of treating her staff with "unpleasant" conversations. She was standing in the middle of the reception area, with her entire staff and other patients listening in, when she made this accusation. I had only spoken with any of them twice, and neither conversation had been unpleasant. I had just asked questions, and apparently that isn't allowed there. I felt totally disempowered and disrespected for caring about how my dogs are treated, and for even being involved in decisions. Samuels was rude and abrasive to me in public, and she was wrong in her accusation, and I didn't get my meds and taking care of my dogs was the least of any of their concerns. I'd only spoken twice, with her office and with Dr. Taylor--who is the one losing a customer over this--and I'm always friendly when taking care of my dogs. It's the major joy of my life. But not here: Joni Samuels took the time and effort out of her busy day to humiliate me in front of her entire office staff and reinforce whatever complaint they had, without once telling me any information about why they don't deal with a less-expensive alternative, and without once saying anything about the complaint that her staff allegedly had about me. I think this practice is self-serving over the needs of the customer and the animals, and I was badly treated for absolutely no good reason other than that I questioned them--politely. They obviously discourage questions and collaboration. So I went to another vet. I'm sorry Dr. Taylor has this office staff and partner, but as long as she does, I won't go there.

The office staff are just as impressive--friendly, efficient, and very knowledgeable. One moment that really stood out to me was when I ordered heartworm medication online after picking some up in the office. When they received the prescription, they personally called me to confirm the date of my dog's first dose to make sure I didn't give it too early. I've never experienced that level of attentiveness from a vet before, and it truly impressed me.
