My wife called the office yesterday as they were seeing my dog for seizures. My wife informed the female receptionist who answered the phone our dogs condition was deteriorating and would they by chance have an opening? She said no my wife then asked if she could get the lab results from last Thursday to take to the emergency vet she rudely said I had already received the results, my wife stated no we did not, the receptionist rudely stated well maybe u should check your messages. This kind of behavior towards a client during an emergent call is unacceptable. We took our dog to another vet who was kind and compassionate. Sadly our dog passed and it was devastating to be treated like this! read more

Our family has been going here for 50+ years. I am heading there now for a nail trim, vaccines and an arthritis type shot for my 15 year old Chiweenie, Cowboy. They have had 3 owners over those years. They were all amazing. The current dr is absolutely amazing. He is very kind and explains everything until I understand. All receptionists and vet techs are always kind and helpful. They are fast and friendly. I recommend them to everyone's animals young and old. read more

I see a lot of reviews that love the Dr but not the front desk staff and I'd have to agree. This morning I had lost track of time and when I realized,we were late for our appointment (like we would end up getting there 25-30 minutes late because we live 40 minutes away). That's very late, I get that. So I called and let them know, asked if we could still be seen. She said no, they didn't have any opening until Monday. My issue comes in because she didn't take the time to ask the Dr, she took it upon herself to say we could not be seen. Especially considering this appointment is because my dog got something in her eye & couldn't open it! I'm sure if the Dr was informed of what was happening he would not have told us to come back on Monday. We instead went to Country veterinary clinic and loved it there! read more

All 4 of our dogs have been well cared for here. We're down to our last one of the original 4 and we can't imagine going anywhere else for our fur babies. Excellent care; highly recommend! read more

We had an awful experience at Davies, and we only went there because Milbradt isn't open on the weekends. I brought my dog to be put down here. The doctor was honest and didn't guilt trip you about it. Unfortunately, he was suffering tremendously and there was no idea what was wrong with him. Exams weren't clear, and I had already spent a lot of money, I couldn't afford paying thousands more for him to be investigated and suffering still. Hardest choice of my life. Anyway, the doctor was quick and understanding to take us in. He actually knows what he's doing, so I recommend him. I just wish the front desk was more empathetic and less annoyed. From what I've read in the other reviews, it's not just me. Anyway, I still love the doctor here, so if I ever even think about getting a pet again; I'll be sure to come back. read more

Milbradt Veterinary Hospital saved our dog's life! Our dog Sansa ended up catching the parvovirus, they treated us so kindly and respectfully as we had never had a dog contract parvo ever!! They were very thorough on giving us instructions on how to administer home I.V. Fluids and medicine. Sansa was just a baby at the time, only 7 or 8 weeks of age. Due to their amazing staff and Veterinarian Doctor they saved Sansa and now she's a healthy energetic two in half year old girl. We are extremely grateful for their prompt care and extremely efficient and kind service. I can't say enough good things about this Veterinary Clinic their Veterinarian Doctor and Staff. read more

I was originally really happy with this vet, from my understanding it is new ownership, and they came recommended. The Dr treated me and my dog very well and he was very informative. His staff however is unprofessional, they do not acknowledge you or make you feel comfortable, and the front desk lady is extremely rude. When my dog broke her foot, they were not kind and didn't take accountability for putting a splint in her way too tight causing lesions and cuts all over. They sent her home with a broken foot covered in blood and blamed it on me for not keeping her clean when she didn't leave my arms. The entire experience was horrible and they were not helpful at all. Don't go here if you want insensitive people taking care of your furry family member. read more

The front office staff are extremely rude and often lie for their own convenience. The vet is wonderful but this is offset by the chaotic atmosphere caused by the front office staff. Needs much better management. Not a safe space for your pet to feel comfortable in any manner while waiting treatment. read more

Very caring staff and doctor and great care of our pets. Can't recommend high enough!

. I thought the front staff was fine except maybe the lady who seemed annoyed that I would not buy the 40$ shampoo. They charged me 50$ to clean my dogs ears which looked no different when they were done , 35$ for 30cipro antibiotic pills , 61$ for antibiotic ear drops, 34$ to look under microscope to determine if ear infection was yeast or bacteria and 62$office visit. Seems to me the office visit fee should have at least covered the ear cleaning or the looking in microscope part. The dr was nice, place looked clean. Not sure I would go back. Seems like it's to easy to rip people off at this place. The older more experienced doc can tell the different in yeast or bacteria just by the smell, I guess those days are gone. read more

Where do I start . Well I'm going to start with the reason I had to go to the vet. My older cat has been having mouth issues for several months after several visits we finally got a diagnosis he had bone cancer in his mouth Begins the reason why he couldn't eat even soft food he was in severe pain all the time. Well after a long discussion about what would be best we come to the heart-wrenching decision of what's best for him and decided that he was suffering way too much and it was best too have him cross the Pearly Gates. The treatment would consist of several very very expensive and painful surgeries that are vet said is very slim chance it would even work. So I got a recommendation from somebody that this place would be the cheapest route to go to take him to have him put to sleep. So my sister-in-law called 3 days ago and was ridiculed and spoken to very disrespectful and rudely as one of the staff members told her that we don't do stuff like that just for you to have convenience and don't have to deal with your animal oh boy was she beyond angry. So I called the next day and must have gotten somebody who was willing to listen and agree to me bringing him in. I wish I would have never done it the front staff was very unsympathetic kind of distance and rude. My daughter decided she will go be with him during those last moments as it was way too hard on me I was in the waiting room and heard a cat it sounded like he was attacking somebody. I knew it couldn't be mine because he was a sweetheart and whenever do such thing unless you messed with his mouth which was in severe pain but who would do such a thing when they're told that it is painful for him well the vet assistant did because she didn't want to believe the reason why we were there because he looked otherwise healthy so she decides to pull open his mouth after my daughter says not to he attacked the vet assistant and she practically took him all my daughter's lap and got her scratched up. Then the vet came in to do the euthanization and was told the exact same thing by my daughter and his response was well I have to look in his mouth to be able to do it which I know is a crock because they only have to administer a shot or an IV. So basically they made my cat suffer his last moments instead of being calm and loving like he normally was because they didn't want to believe us even though we have proof from our regular vet. I don't know why they are treating people that way or an animal for that fact and it would not recommend them to my worst enemy. read more

I hadn't taken my animals here in many years and I very quickly remembered why! My autistic daughters senior dog was on her death bed. After losing 2 of our other senior dogs this year, we were very worried! I walk into the office and unfortunately had to then talk to a very rude, snappy and uncompassionate lady at the front desk. Our dog was dying in the car, and she could honestly care less! After speaking with her about the situation, I had to carry my 50ish lb dog inside, as she sat there and watched me struggle to open the double set of doors to walk into the place. It was empty, she wasn't busy or helping another customer. Just sat there and watched. So I'm now waiting for the vet, we get into a room within 15 mins or so. The vet himself was then very nonchalant, uncompassionate and seemed bothered. He poked around at our dogs belly for a quick moment, checked her temp, skin and gums for hydration, gave shot of nausea meds, sent us home with a couple "doggy Tums"..nearly $300. And the same office lady yet again, watched me struggle to carry our dog back out the double doors to leave. To say I'm less than impressed with this place is an understatement. Visually a nice facility, but they're quick to charge charge charge and charge more money. You're JUST a number to them, a file, a money source. This line of work is supposed to be about compassion and caring! Sub par EXPENSIVE and horrible customer service. If I could give Zero stars I would! I will be going back to The Country Vet in Sutter from now on- lesson learned! read more

What a caring practice. So impressed! I needed emergency care and switched, then for the final days they were there for my family.

They took my dog in quickly even though we were from out of town and just needed blood work. Exam fee was very reasonable.

Took our 2 year old Husky to Milbrandts and received fantastic care. All of the staff is friendly and professional. read more

Milbradt Veterinary Hospital - Thanks for the great care!! Drew. - Veterinarians Near Me - Gridley, California

Well the first time I took my dog in doctor performed surgery on my dog And it went well, second time my dogs eye was red and he prescribed an ointment that did nothing for my dog. Also I advised him that my dogs ears were bothering him, he gave me nothing at all for the ears, and still my dogs ears are still bothering him , that really upset me, because now my dogs ears hurt even more, I believe some sort of medication should have been prescribed, so I received a medication for the eyes that did not cure my dogs eyes and the ears are even more sore. Not to mention the cost was high all for nothing read more

Wonderful staff..... I can't say enough about the care I received for my Chihuahua. I had to put her down today.

They say cats have nine lives, well Bailey definitely used 8 of those. When our 7 year old indoor cat got out and was gone for 22 days our family was devastated to say the least. She was found in terrible condition weighing 3lbs with a huge abscess on her back with puss oozing out. She was covered in thousands of fleas and you could literally feel every bone in her body. I rushed her to Milbradt as they were leaving for the day right at closing and was so thankful Stephanie took her straight back cleaned up that abscess and took great care of her. I have never had really good experiences with Vets I have always felt taken advantage of until we found Milbradt! They are truly a vet that cares about your pet and not in it for every dollar they can get out of you. When we came back a few weeks later for her check up even the front desk staff was coming in to check on her and see how she was doing. I cannot thank them enough for the amazing care we won't go anywhere else! Thank you Dr Brenda & Stephanie and the entire staff. read more

They were able to give us a same-day appointment to put our dog to sleep, even though we aren't regular patients. We were so impressed with Dr. Chris and the front office receptionist that we are going to switch all our dogs over to them for regular care. Thank you both for your caring and professionalism today. It made a tough day easier. read more

This is my favorite Vet. She I very knowledgeable and gives the best care for your pets. Brought my cat in and was taken such good care of. Staff are great and would recommend this that every time. read more

My family loves this vet. The staff is friendly and professional. Dr Gebhart is caring, extremely knowledgeable, straightforward, and friendly. They don't try and get you to pay for unnecessary procedures. When the doctor says she will call you, she is the one making the call, not a staff member. The prices are better than other local vets, they even offer low cost vaccinations. I wish I could give them more stars. read more

I have taken my animals to Milbradt for years and trust them completely

Great vet, no nonsense and direct. Good price for care and surgery my dog needed. Only issue i have is the office staff didn't seem terribly organized when it came to calling when my prescription came in. Worth the drive from Yuba City. read more

I got my Jack Russell spayed here. I called to make an appointment and they scheduled a pre-op within a week and got her into surgery a only week later - much faster than I expected. The staff and doctor were all very friendly. They even gave me a call a couple days after her surgery to see how she was doing. Very pleased and highly recommend this place. read more

The BEST Vet ever! She takes time with my pets, offers solutions, is affordable and well orgamized! I drive over an hour to see this office and the care my fuzzy family receives is worth the extra time and effort. I will go here forever and have refered a LOT of friends and family and they have all been just as happy as I have been! She is an Angel in a labcoat! Melissa Sacramento read more

There are not enough adjectives in the English language to express my respect and absolute gratefulness for this wonderful Veterinary Hospital and its caring and excellent staff. My Doxie had been sick for several days, not eating, not drinking, lethargic, very hot, and acting strangely. I went to my own Oroville veterinary office on Monday morning, but, they were too booked up to see my fur baby, and gave me a "walk in" appt at the end of the week. I contacted several other Oroville vets who were also too booked to see my dog. I called a Chico vet who was also booked out too far. By this morning (Wednesday) my dog was acting disoriented, still refusing to eat, and in obvious distress I couldn't believe the number of vets who were too booked to squeeze in a desperately ill dog, particularly, my own veterinary office of many years. A friend pushed me to call Milbradt where she and her sister-in-law took their dogs. I called at 10:30 a.m.; I was in their Gridley office by 11:10 a.m. Upon arrival, the ladies at the front desk were gracious and courteous. Even though other customers were in the lobby, my dog was taken in within minutes. The wonderful DVM and his assistant were highly professional, caring, and quick to diagnose the problem. I was shown the xray, and its contents explained. There was no pressure for other services. I walked out of their office with a diagnosis, an injection for my fur baby's dehydration, antibiotics, anti-nausea medications, and food for a bland diet. My bill could not have been more reasonable for the services I received. This office should be given an award for their expertise and human kindness. read more

Mty husband and I became customers of this establishment when I took our new puppy in for her initial check-up this past summer. Although the doctor and some of her staff seemed friendly, I think they were surprised to find me, an African-American woman, walking in their door. The demographics of this area, with lots of agriculture, is about 10 miles from our home, I believe is mostly White and Hispanic. On various visits since (to get more vaccinations, have our puppy and kitten spayed and neutered), I was never greeted promptly; I always had to WAIT even if there was at least two people at the front desk. The front office staff would not even smile at me (this doesn't apply to all of the medical assistants, but most of them). Hundreds of dollars had been spend by this time, and I was starting to think that there was some racist behaviour going on--but it's funny, most of them smiled when I HAD TO PAY MY BILL!!! On our last visit to pick up our puppy after a 5-day boarding, our dog contracted diarrhea and some of her hair was shaved (probably during the bathing process). My issue is not wth that, but with the fact that waited 5 minutes before I was even acknowledged. One assistant walked past me without any greeting whatsoever, and when she was "ready to help", asked 'are you picking up'??. What the hell--what did this girl think I was standing at the counter for?? They were aware that either my husband or I was to come in a pick up our pet at a certain time. I was equally upset with the veterinarian, who has seen me on a few occasions and did not take the time to speak, as they do with some of their regular customers. When the vet did acknowledge my being there, it was after I greeted my puppy and was told about the diarrhea and a growth spur (which I was already familiar with). My complaint is not the actual services rendered for my pets, but the customer service that seems to be lacking by the staff. Some customers come in, and I will observe how they are spoken to and treated which always seems to be better than what I've received. I have read many other reviews about this place and the great care that they give animals, and my mother-in-law was the one who referred us to this place based on what she HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS ESTABLISHMENT. Any customer, new or otherwise, should be welcomed with friendliness, because I am one of many people who are helping to keep their doors open. I'd rather not take my business elsewhere, but expect be treated with the utmost respect when I walk through those doors. If it is not received, then I will find someone else to assist me with my babies. read more

Both the vets and the staff is helpful, kind, and considerate. Would not take them anywhere else and very much worth the drive from Yuba City!!! read more
