    Aini D.

    This review is coming from a Gateway patient Nobu, not fur parents. Woof neighbors, this is my first time leaving a review of my experience with Gateway. Four years ago, my parents shared their experience with Gateway. Four years later, guess what, I am writing this review on my own. Sometimes dogs can do better than humans, such as never arguing with your lady but listening. Based on that life experience, you know that I would only share my honest story of Gateway with you. In the past four years, they did a great job in ensuring my health and taking good care of my mom's banking account. She is not over-stressed whenever we go there. You know, girls can save some extra money to buy new things. Happy mother, happy Woof. A few months ago, my mouth started to smell like farts. That derailed our relationship a little bit. One day my mother told me that I had bad breath when I kissed her. Although she didn't refuse my kiss, on her face, I could tell that I am now a terrible kisser. Finally, a week ago, we went to Gateway for my dental treatment. It took several weeks to complete the treatment. First, I did the blood test, and then the urinal test. After my doc confirmed that I got good results in both tests, I was illegible (safe) to do the dental treatment. Woofs, please allow me to tell you a little bit about my dental issue. I am a foodie and I love all kinds of food, especially chewing hard bones and cheese bars. This hobby is way beyond what my tooth can stand. That is how I got a few broken teeth. In addition, I hate toothbrushes but not toothpaste with bacon flavor. Oh please don't pretend you like toothbrushes. We all know the universal truth, without delicious toothpaste, a toothbrush can never get into our mouth. So while I finished the toothpaste as fast as I could, the toothbrush would never have a chance to get close to my back teeth; however, I paid my costs too. I became a terrible kisser because of my bad teeth and bad breath. For those woofs of the size like me, we all have the risk of getting a gum disease when we reach three or four-year-old. So I don't blame myself for being a foodie. I trust the scientific statistics, having bad teeth is not an individual case, but a genetic weakness, so let's blame our ancients. Having dental treatment is good for us and our relationship with humans. I can't tell you how the experience was during the procedure because I was passed out. After I woke up, I heard that my doctor called my parents and gave them follow-ups and caring guidance afterward. Great job on that, they need the woof education. Honestly, after the dental treatment, I was a little bit afraid of staying in this place. Because they can put me to sleep and get into my mouth without giving me bacon flavored toothpaste. But the staff was so nice and warm to me. They hugged me, kissed me, and kept checking on me. I slowly became more active and felt calm there. My doc told me that I may need at least 6 days to recover. But after three days, I was looking for something terribly hard again. Now, you may have a question, how much does the dental treatment cost with this level of services? My program includes a blood test, a urinal test, a dental calculus clean, 6 teeth removal, and a set of 10 day medication. All in all, it costs my parents $1400. I would say this is a fair price, I can use my insurance to cover 60% of the total price (depending on your insurance, the percentage may vary). I am happy with the dental treatment result. My breath is fresh with Hollywood's whiten-looking teeth. Now my mom enjoys kissing me, but the game has changed. Now the kiss from me won't be free. I set the rule, two kisses with one treat. If she doesn't give it to me, I just walk away. Ok, let's talk about the room for improvement. Well, as we all know that in this crazy era, it is hard to hire employees. The market has a problem that demand of labor is greater than the supply. So does Gateway. Sometimes they could forget to call you back to provide updates. But I understand that. How could one staff do everything? If this is a hard problem for them to solve (budget control), then I would say we as a customer can become more proactive to ask for it. Well, as a local woof, I stand for protecting our local small businesses. From my experience so far, I wish the best for them. I hope you enjoy my story with Gateway. And I will also share with you my future updates. Woof woof!

    Our vet, Dr. Sekhon, is AWESOME. We've been with her for 6 years and highly recommend her. She's kind, knowledgeable, and takes excellent care of our dog.

    Here is my baby right after his amputation and they did such a great job. His wound was so easy to care for I didn't have to do anything.
    Michelle A.

    They are so compassionate and understanding. I will not take my animals anyplace else. My dog had to have his back leg amputated due to cancer and they were top notch. They don't run up your bill by doing unnecessary tests.

    Thank you for caring for Cheyenne!

So I call BR and explain to them what's going on. They currently have the insulin but WILL NOT GIVE IT without me making an appt for THEIR ALREADY PATIENT to be seen in their clinic. I asked if I can just have the records sent over. NO. They must have my super sick dog seen in person. I WILL NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE AGAIN. Even to get my dog's teeth cleaned here was astronomically priced compared to everywhere else. There are better vet offices. Don't waste your money here.

The level of compassion and care that we received from her is unparalleled. She was so patient, kind, called with updates frequently, and genuinely cared about his well-being throughout his stay. When his condition got worse and had to be transferred to specialty hospital, she called hospitals multiple times, trying to get him admitted after being told they wouldn't take him and even escalated to her Director to also make phone calls. She fought for him - fought to keep him alive. After she was finally able to get a specialty care hospital to take him and he was transferred, she called daily to check up on him even after he was discharged from VEG. The world needs more doctors like her especially during difficult times. Dr. Matsuo is a kind human, who gives me hope again that there are doctors out there who actually care about their patients vs. focusing on volume. VEG is so incredibly lucky and fortunate to have her and I highly recommend that if your pet ever has the unfortunate need to go to VEG, you ask for Dr. Matsuo. We thank her so much for being so patient, having tenacity in fighting for patients, and being just an amazing, wonderful, compassionate person. We thank you so much for saving Pinot.

Dr. Longley is nothing short of amazing--detailed, compassionate, and always willing to take the time to explain everything thoroughly. You can truly feel how much she cares for each pet she treats. I have a mixed pitty/cane corso and a min pin. His previous vet had a flood and led me to find this place. My dog had been whimpering on and off throughout the day. We couldn't figure it out. I was imaging the worst, possible ate a toy and lodged in his intestines, but Dr Longley was very tactful and went by logical process of elimination and a few tests later with some probiotics/meds and new food restrictions- my baby is No longer whimpering and back to being a happy chill dog. Dr. Armand is another wonderful doctor on the team, and he offers holistic-style treatment options that are absolutely worth exploring. It's refreshing to have a veterinarian who can provide alternative approaches along with traditional care, giving you more choices for your pet's health and comfort. The front staff, Lina and Alicia, are absolute gems. They're caring, patient, and highly detailed in everything they do--whether it's scheduling appointments, answering questions, or making my dogs feel comfortable the moment we arrive. Their warmth and attentiveness set the tone for every visit. Nick, one of their incredible vet techs, is truly exceptional. His dedication goes far beyond expectations--he's even followed up on my dogs' well-being on his day off. That level of commitment is rare and speaks volumes about how deeply he cares. Even though Oak Tree PET HOSPITAL handles urgent care and emergency cases, they are fully equipped with the proper medical technology to provide high-level, efficient treatment. Their prices are extremely reasonable for the outstanding service, expertise, and attention they deliver. The facility itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. There's plenty of room outside to walk your dogs after their visit, and the area feels safe and comfortable. Plus, the PetSmart right across the street is a great added convenience--perfect for picking up treats, food, or anything else your pet might need right after an appointment. This entire team is truly special. My dogs love it there, and I'm so grateful to have found a place with doctors, veterinary technicians, and staff who genuinely care about my boys.
