    Been here several times with not just my dogs but also rescues. They also assisted me in helping my best girl pass as she was suffering from an autoimmune disorder. The Frazier brothers are always wonderful and the staff is super sweet as well :)

    Ultrasound for our sweet girl.

    My 11 week old puppy had gotten run over by accident. As I raced out the door to find ANY vet that would see her this was our first call down the list. Like many East Hawaii Island residents, Dr.Castro or Dr.Gruene was our go-to in the past. They were closing for lunch but stayed open to see her. From the first glance they're a "small but mighty" clinic, but you can tell that the staff works well together as a team and compassion was more than evident. As a small clinic they provided the attention she deserved and the explaining I needed as her owner. We found our new family vet and I highly recommend you give them a chance.

    See all

    Great Veterinarian. Helped Loki my 19.5lb tuxedo feel…read morebetter when he cut his paw and the previous vet neglected the issue. Technicians were very pleasant and knowledgeable. I appreciated the attention and consideration. I would recommend her to others based on my experiences.

    I brought my Great Pyrenees in for her initial vet appointment almost three months ago. I knew…read moresomething serious was going on with her right hind leg so I specifically chose this vet because they supposedly offered mobile service in the event I had to euthanize her. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. The first few visits, the staff were friendly and accommodating given the circumstances. Once the vet was out on maternity leave, the staff became negligent and unsympathetic. I have been providing palliative care and had to wait three days for my pup's meds and had to call back to check on the status as my dog is now severely suffering and the meds are the only way for me to help mitigate the pain. A few days ago, I called as it is now time to consider putting her down. I called asking if anyone can come out and did not receive a call back. I called a few days later upset and distraught and complained about not receiving a call back and the staff member who answered the phone refused to schedule an appointment and told me to go to a clinic. She did not even specify which one or where. The lack of compassion and professional misconduct was overwhelming. If I ever adopt another dog, there is no way in hell I would ever bring my pet here. Strapped for cash, the cost of service is unwarranted for the poor quality of care received. Do not bring your pet here.

    I've only had two visits to Aloha Veterinary Center, but I must say that I've been very impressed…read morewith Dr Matsumoto and Dr. Beth. Both doctors patiently listened to any questions/concerns I had. Everyone, from front desk staff to vet techs are friendly and welcoming. I also appreciate the fact that they are open 6 days a week (8 am to 6 pm) with emergency services on Saturday from 12-4, which shows that Aloha Veterinary Center is making an effort to fulfill veterinary care in the community.

    I called because my dog was expelling blood and vomiting. They told me to come in at 1PM that day…read more Because it was an emergency I would have to pay $225 up front which I did. Then I waited a half hour before a vet tech. came and said she was taking the dog to have a "fecal Smear'". I told her I would like to speak with the veterinarian. She brought my dog back.. Ask if they could get a blood test to maybe rule out pancreatic problem. By now it was nearing 2 PM. I told her I did not think it was pancreatic. My dog showed no symptoms of pain. and , of course, by this time I am beginning to think they just want to run up my bill. I never got to see the vet. and I ended up paying $78 for a fecal smear WOW! Her temp was 101.3 per the tech This experience is so different from the experience I had with Dr Matsumoto. Last October my other dog had an intestinal package. He took an X-ray discussed it with me and with in the hour he operated. He was wonderful! We discussed options and my dog is alive because of him.

    Dr. Castro is seriously the best veterinarian I've ever had for my pets. He is kind, gentle,…read morethorough, and really good at his job. He and his wife Anne run the business in a way that allows them to keep costs down, so not only are they providing excellent service, their costs are very reasonable. I used to take my two mini poodles to another vet (one that is very highly reviewed here!), and their service was so poor that I switched - I'm so glad I did! When Scooby bit a cane toad in the middle of the night, Dr. Castro met me at his office and stayed for hours to administer medicine and monitor Scooby's recovery. When Sam fell off the back stairs, Dr. Castro managed to calm me down AND make sure Sam had no serious injuries - they weren't even open when it happened, but they didn't hesitate to have me bring Sam in. Seriously - the office is humble and may not look like much, but Dr. Castro knows what he is doing, AND cares about animals, AND is very affordable. Best vet ever!

    I can't recommend Dr Castro highly enough. If you can get on his patient list, do so right away! He…read moreis kind, caring, knowledgeable, trustworthy... he's just the best! I am so grateful to my friend who referred us to Dr Castro. I have never had a vet I felt so comfortable with. He takes the time to answer all my questions and it's clear that he truly loves caring for animals. He is gentle and calming. He and his wife Anne are a great team, and I truly appreciate them and the great care they give my girls! I love my dogs and want them to have the best care possible. Mahalo Dr Castro!

    I've been going to Pahoa Animal Hospital since they first opened, and I've been consistently happy…read morewith the care my pets receive. I first started seeing Dr. Bill, who I really liked a lot, and more recently I've been working with Dr. Amelia, who has been absolutely fantastic. I have two senior kitties with hyperthyroidism, and she has been incredibly attentive and compassionate with their care. If lab results don't come back the same day, she will personally call me in the evening after work to make sure I get the results. That level of dedication means a lot. Any time I've had questions and reached out by email, even after hours, she has responded herself. She is always kind, patient, and genuinely caring, not just toward me, but toward my pets as well. The staff is just as wonderful. Shelly and Pua, who I've interacted with the most, have been exceptional every time. That said, every single person I've encountered, from the vet techs to the front office staff, has been warm, friendly, and caring. I truly cannot recommend this veterinary practice enough. I've referred so many people here over the years that I've lost count, and I will continue to do so.

    Pahoa Animal Hospital never fails to come through!! They are LEGENDS…read more Our senior pomeranian Daisy was suffering from a severe case of pancreatitis and was diagnosed with "DIC" which vets colloquially term "Death is close." Our regular vet in Waimea was unable to help so we drove 2 hours to Pahoa Animal Hospital. Daisy was admitted for 2 nights under the care of Dr. Barrett, a visiting vet from Oahu. She utilized many effective interventions to stabilize and treat Daisy. Pahoa Animal Hospital did everything right. The entire staff is very caring and compassionate with a genuine love for animals. I was very pleased with the care Daisy received. Dr. Barrett saved my dog's life and she has made a full recovery. Special shout-out to Zack as well who provided support and care and to all the front office staff who gave Daisy hugs, walks and an abundance of TLC. You are the real super heroes in todays's world. Thank you for all your love and care of our furry friends who are treasured members of our family!!!
