The entire staff and veterinarians are incredibly kind, welcoming, and clear with their communication. The exam rooms have such a calm, relaxing atmosphere, and they take a low-stress approach to handling pets. During Chloe's first visit, they gave her treats while administering her vaccine, and she barely noticed the shot! She's usually very stressed at the vet, so seeing her stay so relaxed meant a lot to me. Both of my dogs have been much calmer at Sactown Vet. I also appreciated the thoughtful welcome gifts, including stickers, a magnet, and a folder with information about the clinic and our veterinarian. It's those little touches that make you feel truly welcomed. I highly recommend Sactown Vet to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and fear-free veterinary team.

Avoid SacTown Vet!…read more They refused to vaccinate my dog after only a few minutes and still charged the full $91 visit fee despite providing no real care. I clearly explained my dog has some sensitivity from past veterinary trauma. During the exam, they touched her from behind without warning, she gave a brief warning response (no bite), and they immediately stopped and refused to continue. The only options offered were: * come back for another paid visit with anti-anxiety meds they never told me about beforehand, or * take my dog to the back alone for sedation/anesthesia to complete vaccines. I don't understand how separating an already anxious dog from their owner, restraining them, and sedating them is considered more "fear free" than a calm, controlled vaccine with the owner present. For context, my dog regularly goes to groomers and is handled all over her body without issue. This feels specific to the vet environment, not general aggression. I later went to another highly rated clinic and they handled her immediately and professionally. She was given treats, a muzzle was only used briefly as a precaution at the end, and she received all vaccines and testing in one visit within minutes--for a better price. This clinic felt rigid, poorly communicated, and more focused on protocol and repeat visits than actually working with the animal in front of them. I would not recommend them.

The staff have always been very friendly and professional. The techs are knowledgeable and calm around the animals and the doctors are great! They are prompt with calling for results and explaining what certain things mean and the options you have for treatment. I have also had good luck with getting appointments scheduled at times that work for my schedule and aren't far out. Their lobby has a few seats for cats only which is nice. The lobby is also fairly large so it doesn't feel cramped or uncomfortable. They also have a sign that says they accept Care Credit but I have not used this before. The parking lot is also spacious. I'm very happy with my experience here especially being an anxious pet parent. Definitely recommend.

I've taken my young dog here to get his standard shots/exams, but this last week I took him in for a leg issue that turned out to need surgical intervention. Scary, and expensive news. But the team was so great. Got us in for a same day, after hours appointment, and scheduled his surgery within a week of calling in. Doctor Baum called me personally to explain what was happening, why he recommended the surgery, a video of how the surgery works, and a detailed estimate. Gave me time to process because it can be overwhelming mentally and financially. Staff all loved on my boy both visits - it's a good sign when your dog wags his tail entering the vets office. Day of the surgery doctor called me before and after surgery to check in, and reviewed the results with me. Private Equity firms are buying up practices and hospitals all over the country. It's important to support local businesses who care about your furry family members not just about the bottom line. Thank you BVH team

I was a client at this veterinary hospital for over 30 years. My parents brought my childhood dog…read morehere, and as an adult I brought my own dog here. When Dr. Nabil Ibrahim owned the practice, I always felt my dog was cared for by someone who genuinely loved animals. Unfortunately, after the ownership changed in 2021, my experience changed. At nearly every appointment, I felt pressured to approve numerous tests and services. What started as a routine visit often became an estimate several times higher than expected. I understand that diagnostics are important, but the way they were presented made me feel like the focus had shifted from individualized care to selling additional services. The biggest concern was my dog's medical care. The first incident occurred after he received rabies, leptospirosis, and parvo vaccines during the same visit. He developed a severe reaction with swollen, red paws and a swollen muzzle, requiring an emergency veterinary visit after hours. I notified the clinic the following day, yet I continued receiving reminders for his leptospirosis booster despite informing them about the reaction and my decision to avoid non-required vaccines. Three years later, I returned only for his required rabies vaccine. Leptospirosis was offered again, and I declined. He was given rabies and parvo together, along with a preventive Benadryl injection. Once the Benadryl wore off, he experienced another vaccine reaction and again required emergency care. The emergency veterinarian told us that, given his history, future vaccines should be administered one at a time to help identify which vaccine was causing the reaction. The final experience was what convinced me to leave the practice. I brought my dog in for loose stools. I was told his diet was inconsistent and was advised to switch him to a prescription hydrolyzed protein diet. I agreed to the diet trial and stool test, planning to pursue additional testing if needed. Instead his stools progressed to severe watery diarrhea. When we returned for the follow-appointment, my husband waited outside for approximately 45 minutes in 100 degree weather with a brachycephalic dog. After reminding staff we were still waiting he was eventually brought inside but waited another 20 minutes before leaving without being seen. Before we could see another veterinarian my dog became severely dehydrated and required emergency treatment. The emergency hospital preformed blood work, treated him with IV fluids, prescribed metronidazole and Hills Biome diet. Thankfully he has been steadily improving on that treatment. I understand that medicine is not always straightforward, and not every treatment works for every patient. However, I believe communication, follow-up and individualized care are just as important as diagnostics. Unfortunately after these three experiences, I no longer feel that this practice is the right place for my dog.

I took my 17-year-old senior cat to Midtown Animal Hospital the day after Christmas because he had…read morenot been eating or drinking for several days and I feared for his life. I am disabled, on a fixed income, and my cat is my only family. I was charged $495. When I later obtained the medical records, I was shocked to find no physical exam notes whatsoever--no exam findings, no palpation, no dental assessment, no SOAP notes. Only lab results. I was charged for services that, based on what I observed when we got home, do not appear to have been performed, including a nail trim I specifically requested. There was also no visible evidence or documentation of blood draw or urine collection. Despite no explanation of my cat's condition or prognosis, I was handed an expensive dental estimate far beyond my ability to afford and then shown the door. I was humiliated at checkout after explaining I was poor and hoping I had enough money to pay. I paid partly by credit card and drained my debit account. I was even charged for a can of food that was presented as complimentary. This experience left me terrified and unsure whether my sick, elderly cat was actually examined. I have since filed a complaint with the California Veterinary Medical Board. If you love your pet, request and carefully review your medical records. I trusted this clinic's long history. That trust was broken. Stay with your pet the entire appointment. Midtown Animal Hospital is operating on a cancelled premises license which is a violation of BPC 4853. This means that the Hospital is not authorized to legally operate or provide any veterinary services. It's been cancelled for 3 years. How can they still be open? Sacramento is corrupt and Pro Business. They must know the right people. They need to be held accountable.

I am beyond heartbroken to share that my cat passed away under the care of Dr. Gill. This…read moreexperience was marked by medical mismanagement and a lack of transparent communication. Initial Negligence: Stitches were removed prematurely, leading to unnecessary complications. Mismanaged Treatment: After a diabetes diagnosis, Dr. Gill opted for an expensive, non-insulin medication despite my cat's visible decline. We then were told to wait two weeks before switching to insulin; by that point, his blood sugar was critically low (80) and he had stopped eating. After spending thousands, I was asked for an additional $600 for tests to "potentially" diagnose leukemia, only to be told to euthanize him moments later. It felt as though we were being milked for fees while our cat was dying. The lack of urgency and the questionable treatment plan lead me to believe this office is more interested in profit than animal welfare. Please protect your pets and go elsewhere.

Sunday a.m. 11 16 25 called Veterinary Medical Center for appt to learn to express dog's urine until her vet was in, got appt @ 3 pm, repeated same issue above to receptionist & Dr. Umar Khan. I expected Dr. to express urine but he never did. He said, "You are only going to be back." Then he talked about xray/labs & surgery that he could do-I couldn't afford that. His next statement completely threw me for a loop."He said she was in severe pn, needed to be euthanized."I had been up 32 hrs, my brain just shut off. Instead of seeing she was not in pn, I took his word for it. The only exam Dr. did was flick her hips w/his finger, her skin quivered. I have had many animals euthanized and never experienced the trauma I was subjected to w/Dr. Kahn. I feel Dr. is incompetent, heartless. I feel he murdered my dog for $648 euthanasia fee. She did not need to be euthanized IF he had followed my request, & the exam/doctor responsibility protocol I had researched after the euthanasia. (his vet tech could have taught me to express urine since since Dr. was in a hurry to get to surgery) He knew her abdomen was distended so he should have expressed the urine, given me Tramadol for pn/Methocarbamal to relax her muscles to express her urine. Research said dogs don't always need surgery, dogs live paralyzed. I had both of my dogs w/me, in my lap, when it was time for the euthanasia. Dr. came @ my dogs like he was on a mission, they began to freak out to the point I was trying to keep them from falling on the floor. Dr. did not stop so I could calm dogs. The dog supposedly in severe pn was fighting like she was fighting for her life she was so scared. It was such a struggle I couldn't even make my mouth say stop. Her head flopped over my arm & her tongue was hanging out. I then realized how the heck did this happen, I came to learn how to express urine. My little girl was so loving, she was my pain support dog, got me thru several life threatening surgeries for blood clots. I take blood thinners for blood clots, aspirin to protect from having a heart attack & stroke & Tramadol for severe nerve pn/severe c-spine pn.. Since I experienced Dr. Khans calloused, incompetent, & what I believe money grubbing behavior, I have had anxiety, HA's, agitation, CP, heart pounding & elevated BP because what happened just plays over & over in my head. My little girl took care of me & I froze, did not protect her from a money grubbing, incompetent barbarian. I keep asking myself why he refused to teach me to express my little girl's bladder, how could he predict I would have to come back when he didn't even do an exam or try to express her urine in front of me? Knowing what I know about human medicine, there is never a way to know what will/won't work. I got a copy of my little girls records, there are many lies, ie: Dr Kahn said he talked to me about vet college in Davis-he didn't. I had a hard time getting the records because Dr. Kahn wanted to go over them, he wanted to email the records to my vet w/out having me sign a release form. The notes say the bladder was hard to express, Dr. told me he didn't express her bladder since she was being euthanized. Dr. states "owner want to know how to express bladder. Pet is unable to walk on hind legs per owner and her regular vet won't be back until Wednesday." he also said he offered more meds, he never offered any meds. Why would I agree to euthanasia if he offered me meds to take home until I could see my vet? There is more in his notes that leads me to believe when he reviewed his notes he also changed his notes. Look @ picture below, taken in Dr. Kahn's exam room, tell me which dog is in severe pain & needs to be euthanized.

Follow up: Appt: May 4th This was my first time at this VCA location. Gemma was the Vet Tech who took care of my baby, Penny. Penny has arthritis. Recently her back leg has caused her not to be able to stand for very long. She also developed east west feet. Which means the paws go outward. Gema was so gentle and compassionate to her. Penny was seen by Dr. Cavanaugh, one of the best Doctors I've ever had for my pets. I asked her a million questions because I was beside myself not knowing if I was going to have to put Penny down. My experience with previous doctors as they appear annoyed by all the questions and do not show any compassion. She was the complete opposite. She welcomed the questions. Thank God she prescribed me some medication, and we decided to see if it would help her with the pain. I felt like they were both my guardian angels. June 17th Penny woke up 2 nights ago and made a horrible sound as if she was in serious pain. First thing in the morning the next day, I called the office. I spoke to Julia, and Beloved through out the day. Both as sweet, kind and patient as they were when we came in previously. I also spoke to Alina and she was super nice. They both left Dr. Cavanaugh message ls regarding different medicines that we could try. Thank you so much Dr. Cavanaughfor following up with me after hours. That is rare. A typical Dr. who had a busy day and with other patients and all the updating charts etc would have called the next day. Beloved, you went above and beyond and thank you for allowing me to get my medications yesterday. The entire staff at this location are amazing individuals. FYI: Penny was able to get up to go to the bathroom and I almost passed out it! It was like a miracle right before my eyes.
