Marshmallow had her first vet visit, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. Dr. Magrey was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel confident and at ease as a new puppy owner. The vet techs/staff were just as welcoming. Super supportive, and clearly experienced. They gave me helpful advice and suggestions on puppy toys, treats, and general care, which I really appreciated. I'm so glad we chose this clinic for Marshmallow and I'm looking forward to continuing her care with such a kind and knowledgeable team. read more

Millbrae Pet Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Millbrae, California

Read the one stars and it says it all. They are rude, and want to run tests that are unnecessary. Prescribe things they have no solid foundation for prescribing. They obviously didn't even read my cats records which are current. The treatment they suggested was over 1200. I picked up my cat and got the hell out of there. For shots or whatever, but I wouldn't trust them. Not even for shots. The staff was worse than the vet, rude and that is an awful thing to face when you are crying over your pet. 'oh I heard that before' so condescending. I told her to go f herself and I apologized but wasn't sorry, for sure read more

I can't express how wonderful my experience was with Millbrae Pet Hospital was. My Siberian husky inhaled a foxtail on a Sunday and was suffering an emergency. My normal emergency vet was unexpectedly closed so I called Millbrae Pet Hospital. They were able to see my dog within an hour and proceeded to handle his emergency care with total professionalism as well as compassion. Everyone I dealt with was amazing. The foxtail was removed and my dog was saved from a potentially dangerous outcome. read more

Millbrae Pet Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Millbrae, California

It's been a few years and my understanding is that the staff has turned over (management, ownership and all), but have to say that they have been pretty good to us so far. Twice we needed a bit of urgent care and were delighted that they were open on a Sunday. Both times we were able to get seen almost right away, and felt that the cost and diagnosis was fair. The staff are really friendly, and we're actually thinking about switching our main vet more permanently! read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I genuinely hope this helps another pet owner. I brought my senior dog to Millbrae Pet Hospital because she had a deep lesion on her paw. Like anyone would be, I was scared and fully prepared to do whatever she needed. (My regular vet who I love and trust was closed). What immediately concerned me was how quickly the veterinarian recommended a treatment plan totaling over $2,500, including putting my senior dog under anesthesia. I didn't feel like my dog had even been thoroughly examined before such a major recommendation was made. When I asked what he thought was wrong, why anesthesia was necessary, and why these procedures were being recommended, his answers were vague and didn't give me much confidence. Since my regular vet opened the next morning, I asked if they could simply clean and bandage her paw so I could safely take her there first thing in the morning. Even for that, I was quoted around $500. That was the moment I realized I wasn't comfortable moving forward. After I declined, I paid the $150 exam fee. Then a vet tech asked me which medications I wanted to take home. That honestly caught me off guard. I'm not a veterinarian; I don't know which medications my dog should or shouldn't have. I've always relied on my vet to explain the options and recommend what they think is best, so being asked to choose myself felt really strange and unsettling. After I declined the treatment plan, the veterinarian made a comment that he had "made himself available" to me. It came across as guilt tripping me for not moving forward. My appointment was around 6pm, and the hospital was open until 8pm. I wasn't trying to waste anyone's time, I was just trying to make the best decision I could for my senior dog. The very next morning, I took her to my regular veterinarian, and the difference was night and day. They gave her a thorough examination, explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and the visit cost $148.50 - an adequate care plan cost me less than a half done evaluation! I walked out feeling confident that my dog was receiving the care she actually needed. I understand that veterinary care can be expensive, and I have no problem paying for quality treatment when it's truly necessary. However, pet owners are making decisions during some of the most emotional and vulnerable moments of their lives. Before asking someone to approve thousands of dollars in treatment - especially anesthesia for a senior dog - they deserve a careful examination, clear communication, and recommendations that inspire confidence. I'd strongly encourage anyone facing an animal emergency to stay away from this establishment as it seems profit was their priority & my dog's wellbeing was their second. My regular vet suggested Sage or Lenity Vet for emergency situations moving forward. read more

Haven't been to this clinic but wanted to leave a review to hopefully encourage this vet to get better customer service. My usual Vet was temporarily closed without notice due to facility issues. I was searching for some other vets to call because my dog was stung by a bee and in a lot of pain and i was seeking advice on how to tell if he was needing to come into a emergency clinic. Any dog vet, or even exotic vet as i have exotic animals, would pick up my call and give me some advice, warning signs to look out for, and if busy suggest me to a partner vet clinic or recommended facility. Whoever picked up the phone did none of this. I was simply told they are all booked for today and that they can't give any medical advice without seeing my pet. Did not even tell me at the very least a warning sign that would be pretty obvious like "Is he vomiting?" seemed to not care about me or my dog whatsoever. That is insanely disappointing i'm dumbfounded by the man who picked up the phone. Didn't even say have a nice day or hope your dog feels better, TF? Hire better employees or give them more breaks so they aren't complete jerks when on the phone. Absolutely ridiculous. I suggest taking your pet's healthcare elsewhere. Plenty of better options in the Bay Area who are happy to answer the phone and suggest to you what to do and if your pet needs to come into a clinic. read more

Had to take my cat in for a broken and twisted claw, and Millbrae Pet Hospital was closest, and let me bring him in right away. Clinic is clean, reception friendly, and prices fair. Dr. Magrey was great--very calm, understanding, and friendly. We left the clinic armed with bandaged foot kitty, meds, and peace of mind. read more

I have a 7 year old feisty Chihuahua that suffers from seizures. I went on vacation and haven't seen her in two weeks so when I saw her, she got a little bit too excited and jumped from couch to ground and hurt herself. The normal facility that she attends was unavailable so I googled Millbrae's Pet Hospital and they had wonderful reviews, so I took my Daisy there. The facility was clean. Everyone was extremely attentive. I appreciate the time and care that was given to assist Daisy and I would definitely go back!! read more

I found Millbrae Pet Hospital in need (see below for the 2 places I went before MPH) as my dog was having uncontrollable sneezing for like 20 minutes and they were able to squeeze my dog in almost immediately between 2 appointments! The Vet looked my dog over, gave him medicine and built out a plan of attack if the problem continued. Really put me at easy... he has my business going forward!! Plus the staff/VET were really nice and worked with me in my time of need. (Check out their specials this month, teeth cleaning for $750, sounds like a deal, normally like $1300) Check them out San Bruno Pet Hospital- was my place for all things VET related, until today when I took him to SBPH and they said they don't take walk-ins.... really. What is the point of building a relationship with the VET if they don't take emergencies, they didn't even ask why I needed to see the doctor.. Never going back!! Next Masson Vet- same thing (but the lady did ask questions) read more

First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Zead, Rebecca, and the entire staff for the incredible care you gave my boy. I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for your compassion, support, and dedication to both him and our family. You truly saved him from kidney failure, and seeing him doing so much better now because of your care means everything to us. Dr. Zead has been unbelievably supportive and generous, showing our boy so much love every step of the way. Rebecca is truly exceptional -- an amazing manager who went above and beyond to support us during such a difficult time. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart! read more

(((((warning all dog and cat owners beware))))) i have been going to the millbrae pet hospital for a few years now but now everything is different there,, they seem to want to give and prescribe all kinds of medicines now,,,i went there because my dog was having eichy skin and they said he also had some yeast in his ears so they gave him a shot for his skin eich and they put an antibiotic in his ears and it made my dog completely deaf before even leaving there clinic,,,so i went back days later to hopefully fix his hearing and the manager ( the heavy set big blonde haired lady) told me that i was being rude when i told her that this happened when they put the antibiotic in his ear but instead of trying to help my dog the she got mad and told me to leave without futher help so now i don't know what to do!!! my dog is now completely deaf now and this breaks my heart!!! if your an animal lover like me i highly suggest that you find a different vet then the millbrae pet hospital. read more

Took my son and his dog for an exam and nail clipping and skin issues. Staff were friendly. Vet was excellent and caring of Keanu and explaining, showing what he had done. He actually took the time to talk with us, asked if we had any questions after prescribing medications. This is a family owned business and we have been coming here for a while now. I definitely recommend this place. Plus they are open on weekends which is great! read more

Jenny was wonderful and so helpful in showing us how to administer Angie's meds. I really appreciated her help. And, the entire staff there are so willing to address any concerns we have about the upcoming dental procedure. read more

I took my two cats here for their vaccines and general checkups. Calling to schedule an appointment was easy. Street parking is available and easy to come by during the day. Check-in was quick and efficient. The vet was friendly and knowledgeable and address all of my concerns. We were in and out in 15 minutes. Prices seemed reasonable (for the Bay Area) and the front desk staff was friendly. Overall it was a good experience at Millbrae Pet Hospital. I will return if my cats need anything else. read more

Under a new name and management since our last relationship with this Vet clinic. We adopted a new dog and needed an additional vaccine shot. We were accommodated right away and the process couldn't have been easier or more efficient. Our dog reacts around other dogs, so they were very accommodating and put us in a room right away. Everyone I encountered at the clinic was friendly and helpful. Its comforting to know that we've got a great vet right in the neighborhood still. read more

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Dr. Magrey and the entire team at Millbrae Pet Hospital . When my dog became seriously ill, I was overwhelmed with worry -- but from the moment we walked in, Dr. Magrey was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring. He took the time to answer every question I had (and there were many), explaining each step clearly and patiently. His genuine care and experience were evident, and it made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. What really stood out was the family atmosphere. His children work alongside him at the hospital, and you can feel how much they all care -- not just about animals, but about the people who love them. It's rare to find that kind of compassion combined with such professionalism and skill. I'm beyond grateful for the care my dog received and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Magrey and his team to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate veterinarian.

Super unprofessional! My dog is dying and we're not sure why. We went to a vet that gave us a blood test and determined he needed an Ultrasound, so we scheduled an appointment with Millbrae Pet hospital for his ultrasound. We scheduled it for today at 10 am. And even coming up to the appointment we were getting confirmation emails and reminder texts REMINDING US to be there at 10am on monday. Then we show up today and they had no idea we had an appointment. The radiologist wasn't there so we couldn't even get the Ultrasound so they TURNED US AWAY. Now we're looking for a new place that can give us an ultrasound soon, time is of the essence here and they were not prepared but we took time out of our day away from work after they had confirmed our appointment only to TURN US DOWN. Another day WITHOUT ANSWERS. FUCK them read more

They should rename this clinic, With a Heart. The reception/manager, and the Vet were so kind when I had to send my little Mikee over the rainbow bridge. They answered my email inquiring almost immediately. They told me I could come in anytime on this Sunday and they would fit him in. If you have ever had to put you pet to sleep you will understand the stress one can feel just trying to make the decision. So to see the Vet as a drop-in on a Sunday was a blessing. Pricing was reasonable and they didn't charge extra for weekends. It was a 15 mile drive but so glad we did it. They gave me a thoughtful remembrance of Mikee. 'The hospital is clean and there are two separated areas to wait with your pet. On this visit, they took me in as soon as i arrived which was a blessing to both Mikee and me. Staff did everything right!!!! read more

Staff and Doctor were very friendly and attentive to our fur babies. Waiting room was clean and didn't smell at all if you're worried about that. Blood work was completed and results were very quick. Wonderful experience and will be back. read more

My 12 years old cat was diagnosed with mouth cancer at Sage. Today, one of her teeth became crooked. I freaked out and called a lot of vets, specialist and emergency pet hospitals in the bay area. Some were closed in fridays, others suggested me to go to emergency, and emergency suggested me to specialists (which are mostly closed on Fridays). I was a bit lost throughout this whole process until I came accross Millbrae Pet Hospital. This hospital took my pet in for an immediate check up. The doctor took my cat to the back for closer examination and was able to pull her teeth in 3 minutes (cat cannot go into anesthesia due to her light weight). This place did in 3 minutes what 15 other vets were saying they couldnt do. Price was also very reasonable..what I was expecting it to be around $2k ended up being $300 with medicine included. I highly recommend this place. read more

They were able to get us in for an appt last minute and the doctor and staff were very kind!

After my dog had been sick for a week I began calling around to try to get her seen on a Saturday. MPH were able to fit her in and were upfront about same day appointment fees. The team there are very nice and work very smoothly together. All steps in the evaluation and costs were explained upfront including a step by step testing approach rather than just running a blanket of unnecessary tests. Would recommend this clinic. read more

Very honest vet. Dr magney i think , was an older indian doctor was very kind and professional knew what to do ahead of time for our cat. Most important he went step by step by step and looked out for our bill and didnt force unnecessary things like xray and ultrasounds or electrolytes like many vets do to run up the bill. Ive had 7 animals and 5 vets and i know when clinics are greedy. They definitely are a good clinic and wont try to rip you off, that how you build a steady clientele. I have 6 other animals so look forward to returning even if it a bit of a drive! read more

I took my dog in for a same day appointment. They saw me right when I arrived and took a look at my pups right away. Noticed things about my dog I didn't even notice and showed me what it is online, the doctor allowed me to see everything that he noticed, explained everything to me, asked for permission before doing anything to my dog, and allowed me to handled my dog to keep her calm since he noticed she was not being the most cooperative. Also they confirmed the same day appointment/ walk in cost and asked if that was okay before booking the appointment for me. The visit was quick and smooth. I got plenty of supply and medication for my dog compared to when I took her somewhere in the city and for half the cost. read more

It's that time of the year, Mila needs her annual shots, so I called up Millbrae Pet Hospital to snag a next day appointment and I was all set to go. Filling prescriptions here as always been a breeze, and can be accommodated same-day as long as they have it in stock which is always a plus. Since my last review they went through an ownership change. With all new ownership, changes are to be expected, which means transparency is very important. Especially for me, bc as I mentioned in my last review, Ive had bad experiences at prior vets, which is why it was sad to hear Dr. Ryce left bc she was a very good communicator. When I called to booked the vaccine appointment, I figured it would be the vaccines and that's it. Plus I needed flea/tick medicine. After taking Mila in for her shots, the tech comes out and says they need to conduct an annual physical in order to administer the shots and provide the flea/tick medicine. I wasn't happy about it, which I conveyed, but agreed to go through with the physical bc I needed the services. The tech returns and says they'll take care of it this time and we can do the exam at a later date. As I was checking out, they gave me the total and asked if I wanted to a copy of my invoice which I accepted. After reviewing the invoice the price of the shots and flea/tick medicine stayed the same. However they charged a $30 nurse appointment fee, which was not previously disclosed. I asked if I had gotten the physical exam ($82) , there wouldn't have been a nurse fee. This should have been offered as an alternative because it would've saved me money in the long run. This is where communication/transparency can be improved. Considering this was my first opportunity to meet the new vet, I would have appreciated at least an introduction so that we could start building some level of rapport with a client who's been coming here for 3 years. read more

This vet is very cautious and studies all the data on your pet and will give you an honest and accurate information for the procedure and risk of the procedure. The vet and his staff are kind , knowledgeable and professional at any procedure needed to keep your pet alive happy and healthy for a very long time . The prices at Millbrae pet hospital are the best , with the best service, in the bay area. Thank God for Millbrae pet hospital your money and professionalism goes a long way . read more

I started taking Oso here last year when we first got him from a family member who couldn't care for him anymore. He was still a puppy and needed all his shots and to get fixed. I was happy to find this place that allowed new nerves pet parents in the exam room with them. All the vet technicians have been wonderful to us and take great care of us. I never feel like they try to sell me on products that I don't need for him and always explain things when I have questions. Recommended to new and all pet parents looking for a veterinary clinic to there fur babies read more

My kitty got into an altercation with another critter outside, and ended up with a big slash to his face. An abscess formed, and he needed care urgently. My regular Vet couldn't get me in, so I looked around and found Millbrae Pet Hospital. They were very nice and got me in the same day. My sister is a Vet on the East Coast, and I shared a photo of my Kitty with her. Unprompted, she told me it looks like the Doctor did very good work. She has high standards, so coming from her that was high praise. They also have good follow-up, and I got messages after each visit to see how he was doing. My experience was great, and I would definitely recommend them. read more

Millbrae Pet Hospital - Leaving the clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Millbrae, California

Under new management, I have to update my review. Dr. Magrey and his staff are extremely kind and careful to address all concerns. They are clear and informative, and transparent about cost. They also got me in very quickly, and communicated effectively with me throughout my cats illness. It pains me to have to write the review, as their kindness and care for animals was evident. I did all recommended bloodwork with Millbrae Pet Hospital, and was instructed to syringe feed my cat. I saw that he was not improving, and called the front desk almost daily to check in about his condition and ask if it was normal. They assured me it was fine. Finally, I insisted on coming back in, at which point we did an X Ray. I was told I would receive a call when the results were in, but I had to call myself the next day to get them. Upon these results, I rushed my cat to the ER, where he had emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage. I was told he should have been given an ultrasound on the first day his symptoms began. As a result of the time wasted, his condition had worsened, and he had spent a week in pain. We were very lucky his intestine did not rupture. For a routine wellness check, or a minor issue, Millbrae Pet Hospital will take good care of your pet. However, if you suspect your cat has an intestinal blockage, or a time sensitive serious condition, you may want to consider a different facility. read more

I took my cat here because he ate something he shouldn't have. I called poison control first and they recommended I take him to a vet. This place was the closest with the best reviews. When I was taken back the vets exam room, they asked what he ate and asked me what the side effects were and what I suggested they do for treatment. When I told them what I knew, which wasn't a ton- he left and said "let me google it." He then gave me the option of giving my cat a dose of charcoal, which would have him pass the foreign material or leaving. I didn't feel like they had the best knowledge here .. and wouldn't take my pets again. read more

I have two cats and all our appointments are here. Always. I feel like they love what they are doing and price is reasonable.

My dog woke up unable to open her eye which constitutes as an emergency and needed to be seen same day. After calling half a dozen vet hospitals above 3.5 stars Millbrae was the only one to get her in on the same day. The other places all told me "sorry we can't help until Monday but don't wait!" It was reasonably priced and they didn't try to upcharge me for things I didn't need. Viona was genuinely kind and and took such good care of my dog who absolutely refused to sit still. Another reason I love pet people. But, to go from frantically trying to find good medical care for fear of my dog going blind or losing her eye to being calmed and treated immediately and warmly, I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I have been here two times for both of my kitties. I never had pet insurance before so I was pretty worried about costs when I got a new baby kitten that had never gotten any vaccinations. I called to make an appointment and their front desk ladies are always so sweet and kind. So helpful and understanding with rescheduling and getting an appointment. The vet himself is very kind and quick, you won't be waiting long at all and he is so gentle with the kitties. This was my first experience ever with a vet and this will forever be my furbabies vet. I'm a broke college student and their prices are super affordable and understandable. There is always parking out front or just right across the street. They are very clean and have a cozy and cute location. Thank you Milbrae Pet Hospital for taking care of Oat and Mochi! read more
