Everyone at the hospital is warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Dr. Lewis and his team consistently recommend the best treatment plans and care options without ever making us feel pressured to purchase unnecessary services, which sets them apart from other clinics. As a fellow Cavalier King Charles owner himself, Dr. Lewis truly understands the breed, which gives us even more confidence and trust in his care. We are so grateful to have found him and highly recommend HB Pet Hospital!

Unfortunately, before the busy holidays, my guard slipped. I went in simply to refill a prescription for our dog, who had no symptoms of illness.

Clear communication and informed test consent were missing. And that's disappointing Time to find a new vet!

At their ripe age of 14+ for all of them, we've visited our fair share of vet offices and know the difference in bad care vs good care - this is GREAT care. They work with your budget and don't make you feel guilty if you can't throw the entire kitchen and the sink at your vet bill. They also accept Care Credit! Jazmin at the front desk was also super helpful, professional, accommodating, and nice. This location is easy to access and usually parking is pretty easy in their lot. This location has been around for decades and you can tell they've developed a great reputation within the community. Thank you Dr. Chris, Jazmin, and HB Vet!

I usually don't leave reviews but since this is the second incident I've had with this place I feel…read moreit necessary. It's unfortunate because I really wanted to love this place. I give it a 3 because of the technicians who have made my dog feel safe at a time of uncertainty and the vet who ensured I was informed of how to properly care for my dog during a stressful situation. The technicians and doctors were so informative and helpful and my dog loved the attention they gave. However, the front staff is just off. Twice I've called to make appointments for multiple issues.. labs, allergy shot, etc.. nothing too complicated. However, both visits only allergy and meds were done. When I confronted the office staff (mainly the older women who seems she needs to retire at this point because she doesn't seem to have a clue) her response was my appointment was booked under "a technician appointment". Since I have no clue the difference between a technician appointment and whatever other appointments exist, I explained to her that since I informed her that I would need lab work and vaccines done as well, shouldn't that be her job to figure out what type of appointment my dog should get. Then as she felt the need to dig deeper into why my dog didn't get all his needs met at his appt, she began to read notes to me from past visits that had nothing to do with this visit. I explained to her that those had been resolved and I was well aware of outcome so unsure why she needed to discuss those concerns and I tried to kindly redirect her to my current issue of why my dog did not get his labs done when she clearly read that labs were the reason for his appointment... her response was "I don't know". Twice I've had to book a second appointment to complete the care for my dog that should have been done in one visit. When I voiced my concern about my distrust in their system and not wanting to book another appointment because I plan to take my business elsewhere, her response was "ok". I also feel the need to mention that both incidents involved this particular woman. To the older woman working in the front office: please learn more about your job and feel free to ask questions to your colleagues should you not understand something or need an answer. Your oversight can end up affecting someone else's business.

Six months ago, she stopped eating and started hiding. Everything I was reading suggested that she was preparing herself to die. I took her to the clinic where they evaluated her and, with intensive treatment over several days, got her through her illness. They absolutely saved her life. Recently, she got a wound on her leg. I was devastated because I could see the muscle and everything. I took her to the doctors at the clinic and they operated on her to debride and clean the wound, close it primarily, and treat her with antibiotics and a secure dressing. We came back for wound inspection at 2 days, and everything looked good. Now, at a week, the wound continues to heal and I am so relieved. I trust them absolutely. They do what is necessary. They do it very well. And the cost is appropriate.

Best vet i've ever been to! Cant say enough positive things about this place…read more I first started going here a few years ago after a neighbor recommended them and the initial draw was their hours because I have a senior dog and I liked the idea of being able to take him to his regular, familiar vet for an urgent/emergency situation (which always happen after 6pm). But I am so glad I started coming here. Literally everyone is terrific. They very clearly care about you and your pet and I always feel so much better after a visit. Dr. Babcock is phenomenal. He's very gentle and patient with my anxious, arthritic dog. And he's so great with being thorough and explaining everything going on, all the various options, their pros and cons, and his recommendation based on all the various factors, and then answering all of my often ridiculous questions. And another huge thing is that they are so amazing at communication. They always get back to you promptly...sometimes i'll forget to plan ahead for an Rx refill and it's no problem, they follow up to see how your pet's doing, etc. It's just a level of service that's unparalleled at any other vet I've been to. Chandler (the practice manager) is fantastic. She's on top of everything, makes sure that the line of communication is always open, and goes above and beyond if there's ever any type of snafu that comes up. The entire staff (all of the vets, vet techs, front desk, etc) you can tell is very engaged with what's going on with you and your pet. I'm so thankful that I found them because they have taken such great care of my dog at a level that I know he would not have gotten anywhere else. I promise you will not regret coming here.

I am super thrilled to have found Beach Garfield Vet Hospital. This office reminds me of my old vet who retired. Cozy and animal centric without all the high tech nonsense ie... ipads for registration, an apps for reminders. I am very happy with their pricing for care offered. It's fair and very reasonable. I am very grateful for that. I don't feel like I need to play vet at home because I fear astronomical vet costs. I can truly get my dogs the care they need. I've had the pleasure meeting both of the Veterinarians and recently Ms. Christmas (my dog) had some issues with kennel cough and UTI.

I only waited five minutes, and Skittles was seen by a vet tech (I think her name is Zia). She was AMAZING. She is definitely a cat person, and she was so loving towards Skittles! Very knowledgeable as well. Dr. Saini came in and spent a little time with her, checking her eye because she had a cloudy area on her cornea. He did a test that showed it was likely scar tissue, and we got her tested for Herpes and Calcivirus (she was negative for both). He did hear a slight heart murmur, but we are hopeful she will grow out of it. When I was concerned over the next few days about the color of her stools (black, but not tarry), one of the vet techs took the time to call me and reassure me she was okay. I was also impressed that the owner of the practice, Dr. Mann, called me to check up on everything and give me the good results from the viral test. I have had vet techs and front desk workers call me with news in the past, and it is much more reassuring coming from a vet.

Recently, however, Chewy informed me they were unable to fulfill my order because they were "waiting for a mailed-in prescription" from me--something I've never been asked to do before.

When I called to clarify, I was told the clinic had decided to stop working with outside pharmacies--without notifying clients. I even asked if they could provide a courtesy call to Chewy, since Chewy accepts verbal authorization to speed things up, but the front desk staff refused.

We called and were told to come in immediately. When we arrived, a team was already outside waiting with a gurney. They gently helped him from our truck and brought him in right away. Within 30 minutes, we had answers and guidance during an incredibly difficult moment. Although the outcome wasn't what we hoped for, Chase did not suffer long--and that means everything to us. The compassion, professionalism, and dignity they showed our family was beyond exceptional. And the cost (under $300) for that level of care truly deserves recognition. We are beyond thankful. This is a place you can trust with your pet--your family.

When I explained this to the woman who answered the phone, she responded with, "What do you mean? Like evacuate the building?" and laughed. I was already extremely distressed and trying to get emergency care for a very sick dog. I then had to explain the procedure myself while asking about potential costs and urgency. I understand exact pricing may not be possible over the phone, but the overall interaction made the office sound uninformed and unprofessional during a very serious situation. Because of how the call was handled, I did not feel confident or safe bringing my dog there for emergency treatment. My veterinarian had specifically recommended emergency evaluation overnight, but after this interaction I stayed home instead. Tragically, my dog passed away during the night. I understand front desk staff are not veterinarians, but basic professionalism, compassion, and familiarity with emergency terminology should be expected at an after-hours veterinary office.
