We sent our dog with diagnosed cancer to them to remove just an irregular mass from his abdomen that was causing him uncomfort. For some reason, they thought they had the hand of God to do surgery else where (on the cancerous sore, on his face) that was not agreed upon and cut him open. They charged us over $2,000 and we had to put my poor pup to sleep weeks later due to this invasive, unecessary extra incisions. It's worth the extra hour drive to get a real diagnosis from people who care.

However, Dr. Komin's thorough examination and lab testing turned up several less severe issues. And when Rosie was ready to go home, the staff gave us a complete post-visit care instructions.

PS: For those complaining about veterinary care costs, keep in mind that California taxes the dickens out of everything, Most of these complaints about prices should be directed to the wizards in Sacramento, the folks who think a high-speed passenger railroad is a grand idea.

I use to be a client of this Veterinary , however I do NOT have animals that need constant care. I…read moream able because they are livestock , to take care of a lot of issues myself, so it has been a couple of years since my animals have been seen by this team. How SAD it was today to get a phone call from them, stating that well, we can NOT come out to you for an emergency visit, and to go or call my vet that I have been using since the last time they were here. I have not used any other vet, as there aren't any I had trusted or are available within our area, and besides, she was MY vet. Look I know there are limited resources, and I get that they are severely under staffed, but come on now, be reasonable. It was almost as if she was excited to call me out on not utilizing them more recently. How hateful of her. I had always left a perfect review for this vet, however, I am now choosing to only leave one star. I do not have horses, or expensive livestock, but I do have pigs, and goats, and they were always such a great help. I even took my pigs, and goats to HER office. Shame, shame, shame on this vet for not looking at my PAST relationship with them, and allowing for that to speak for itself. She didn't even bother to ask me what was the issue, as to possibly help over the phone, but I guess that was too much to expect.

Every other place I've ever been when they put a dog down it's almost instant but not here. If you want to watch your beloved pet die slowly while they blame the dog then this is the place to go.

I couldn't afford it and was so scared I'd have to get her put to sleep. Then I called Bishop Veterinary Hospital and was able to get a walk in appointment the very next day! The staff was so helpful and communicated very well, and even the veterinarian himself communicated directly with me about Gumdrop's treatment plan. Gumdrop needed to be spayed anyway, so the vet did not require me to get Gumdrop any diagnostic tests. We decided to just have her spayed without any tests. I paid under $500 for an emergency spay, antibiotics, the walk-in fee, and the post surgery pain medication. I am so grateful to Bishop Veterinary Hospital and can't recommend them enough!

090219 - VCA VET SURVEY...DUSTY…read more The Vet was very practical for our fixed income situation. She explained all the pros/cons of our Dusty Cat's truly necessary vaccinations [for a indoor 9 yr old cat] without pushing for the usual "all vaccinations must be done". She also provided extensive knowledge on feline respiratory systems, and Dusty's situation in particular. We were able to make intelligent decisions to get the best possible care for Dusty within our financial situation. Granted if we could, all our furrkids would have unending vet care, but instead we provide good food- not the cheap Supermarket brands-and a safe, happy, playful home with lots of love! All our furrkids have been 'cast-a-ways'...(some even chose us!) and our most recent Rainbow Bridge 'crosser', Merlyn, was 22 years old.

Extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and consistency from the front office staff…read moreat Thurman Veterinary Clinic. I called around 8:30 a.m. this morning to establish care for my two French Bulldogs and was told that they were accepting new patients but it would be a month out. The receptionist began collecting my information to create patient charts, discussed scheduling appointments for June, and was in the process of preparing the required $40 per pet appointment hold fee when the call was disconnected. When I called back later, a different receptionist informed me that the clinic was not accepting new patients and that I would not be able to establish care there. When I explained that another staff member had literally begun the intake process and was preparing to collect payment for appointments, I was simply told, "I don't know, but we're not taking new patients." The complete lack of communication and consistency was incredibly frustrating. Based on the glowing reviews, I expected a much more professional and organized experience. While I cannot speak to the quality of the veterinary care itself, the customer service and handling of front-office communication left a very poor first impression.

They can get extremely busy and it has gotten a little more challenging to get an appointment but I always commend the level of care and customer service we get from this place.

If you are looking for a vet center, as much as I'd like to gatekeep them, this is the place to be. Highly recommend them!
