    We were quickly ushered into an exam room, minimizing my pets' time in the waiting area. Dr…read more Fernandez performed a thorough examination on both cats right in front of me and patiently addressed all my questions and concerns. She handled my pets with great care, as if they were family. The support staff was also highly professional and quickly and efficiently drew blood for labs. I especially appreciated that my cats weren't separated from me for long.

    Our cat, Roxy, was a very special member of our family! Dr. Fernandez at El Cerrito Veterinary Care…read morediagnosed her conditions expertly. She was diligent about ensuring Roxy's vaccinations were up to date and medications were always current. As she grew older Roxy developed serious health problems like arthritis in many joints, and asthma. She needed regular injections, inhaler treatments, and frequent medications. As Roxy's conditions worsened over the years, the clinic staff taught us how to care for her ourselves, at home. We learned how to give Roxy injections, properly use her inhaler, even administer subcutaneous fluids. It was scary at first, but eventually we got the hang of it. Dr. Fernandez always made a detailed treatment plan. Her proactive and caring approach made a big difference in Roxy's quality of life. She also told us signs of the progression of Roxy's condition. She taught us what to look for, so we could prepare ourselves to make a humane decision. Her guidelines helped us decide when the right time came for Roxy. Because of Dr. Fernandez and her clinic, we actually got to have much more time with our Roxy than we expected! Thank you, Dr. Fernandez!

    Kind staff, but a frustrating and disorganized urgent care experience…read more Our visit took about 1.5 hours. Even though we completed intake over the phone, we were asked to fill out the same information again on paper, and we weren't seen until ~15 minutes after our scheduled time. We also spent a long time waiting due to a lepto test. We were initially told results could take up to 30 minutes and that the assistant would check with Dr. Holliday to see if we could leave and come back. About 20 minutes later, we were told we only needed to wait 10-15 minutes total--by then, we had already waited most of that time unnecessarily. Follow-up was the most frustrating part. The front desk was responsive through the online portal, but not helpful--they repeatedly said they would "leave a note for the doctor" or were "waiting for the doctor to finalize their notes." We later found out test results were available on Tuesday but weren't released to us until Thursday. For an urgent care visit, this delay felt unacceptable. We requested SOAP notes and lab results on Monday for insurance purposes and had to follow up multiple times to get documentation that should have been readily available. The medical care itself seemed thorough, but the administrative side was lacking. Given the cost (urgent care exam alone was $147), I expected a more efficient and timely process. Overall: kind staff, but poor follow-through and delayed communication. For urgent care, I expected a much greater sense of urgency.

    We took our dog here for complications after a tooth extraction. We were there for about 3 hours in…read moretotal, and in that time I was incredibly impressed with every single staff member. 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. We have enough evidence to take him to internal endoscopy ourselves without dealing with PETs anymore I'm really sad to rank this place so low.

Like a lot of…read moreother cat owners know, it can be stressful finding a vet that can give as good care to cats as they often do for dogs. I came here on a recommendation from my usual vet who were out of availability and boy am I glad. Dr. K was wonderful, empathetic, sweet, and very detailed in her care of my cat. She understood how to approach to my little scaredy cat and did what she could to avoid any further stress. She answered my questions, provided me with important information, and we were on our way! I also want to say thanks to the front office and the vet techs. The place seemed very busy and it seemed they were all working everywhere all at once and even then they were prompt and polite. Although I would happily pay anything to make sure my cat is okay, I can't deny I was thinking about what it would cost since it's an urgent care vet, but I found the price fair and, at least for me, affordable. I would recommend anyone who is looking up the reviews to feel ease when considering Urgent Pet.

This time, however, I knew where to go, and I immediately call up Urgent Pet and obtain a same day appointment. Dr. K is amazing! She was so patient and kind with my girl and they figured out what was going on. The bill was fair for the services and within a few hours we were back at home with a prescription. Thanks to Dr. K, Dr. Lowe and the other staff, Puma is feeling much better and we have a treatment plan moving forward. Thanks again Urgent Pet!
