Doc Aarons is honest, transparent, and not afraid to tell you the facts. He is a down-home vet that…read morewon't drag you along. There are times you won't want to hear what he has to say, but that is because he will not drag you down an unrealistic rabbit hole that drains your piggy bank. He is humble and has no problem referring you somewhere else if what your pet needs is beyond his expertise. We use him for most minor surgeries, spay, neuter, exams, vaccinations, etc. For our OFA X-Rays, we use Dr Minor in Templeton as he has the most up to date machines. For weekend or after hours emergency service, we go to Atascadero Pet Hospital. Otherwise, during normal business hours, Dr Aarons can handle most situations.

Our Pug Missy had a bad ear infection. When I called two different offices to schedule an…read moreappointment, both stated they were booked for three weeks. I could do a drop off which meant leaving her for hours at double the regular office visit fee of $60! While I've used both clinics and they were good ones, it was unacceptable to wait that long not to mention the cost$ Finally, I searched for the Veterinarian who spayed a barn cat I adopted through a rescue organization last year, Dr. Aarons at Oak Country Veterinary Services in Paso Robles. I was relieved to get an appointment the next afternoon. Missy and I were welcomed by Receptionist, Becca and Dr. Aaron's rescue dog, Ollie. Missy's ear infection was treated right away and she had a spa type "Peticure," surprisingly at no extra charge. I've been charged $35 for a nail trim at another office. BIGGEST SURPRISE - The Bill! Missy and I are new Fans of Dr. Aarons. His rates for dental care for my 10 year old MinPin is going to be very reasonable compared to the quote from the two other Veterinarian offices. Hang onto your cash and make an appointment. By the way.......Dr. Aarons is also an author and I'm enjoying his Podcasts immensely.

We weren't rushed to make a decision, we were given time and treatment options, and they took the time to answer our numerous questions and concerns, despite it being a holiday weekend and late at night. While I do hope I'm never in a similar situation again, I would recommend taking your pup here.

Let me start by saying when a worried pet parent is calling and trying to explain what's going on, you DO NOT say, "I'm putting you on hold I don't have time to talk."

We first met Dr. Bell in 1994 here in Woodland Hills, Ca, or you can simply say Los Angeles. There was a complicated case that many veterinarians argued about while our cat was suffering. Somebody mentioned Doctor Bell, and sure enough he solved the problem on the spot. It's been 31 years, and many, many cats, dogs, and birds were treated with high success by this amazing vet. A few years ago, he relocated his practice to Paso Robles, 220 miles from where we live, but this did not stop us from bringing our pets to him. We did try to find someone nearby, but it did not work out. No vet was as good as he is. So, we stopped trying, looking, and we went back to THE BEST! Thank you, Dr. Bell for the love, the knowledge, and incredible dedication. Our pets are our kids, and they deserve the BEST!
