    I cannot rave enough about the veterinarians and staff at Oceanside Veterinary Hospital. We have an English Bulldog who is prone to everything, so finding a vet in the Oceanside/Tri-City area that offers both high-quality care and affordability has been a real challenge. We are beyond grateful to have found Oceanside Veterinary Hospital. We never feel like unnecessary services are added onto our bill, and the team always takes the time to clearly break everything down and help us prioritize what is truly necessary for our Remi's care. The transparency, compassion, friendliness, and professionalism here mean so much to us!

    My Dachshund started experiencing severe back pain. I called O-Side Vet and they got me an appointment within an hour of me calling, after my primary Vet was booked for a solid week. Dr. Doherty took care of me. My little wiener dog does not like strangers, especially when she's in pain. Dr. Doherty was very gentle with her and won her trust without fail. I was kept well informed about what the doctor's assessment was and helped put my mind at ease. Suffice to say I have a new Vet hospital from now on. I highly recommend this Hospital above all others I've been to. Aside from the doc all the other staff were exemplary as well. I arrived there rather shook up and quite worried about my little fur baby. I left feeling very much at ease and optimistic about my pups immediate future. Thank you very much O-side Hospital. Your treatment and service impact people and their pets far beyond what you know...

    Dr Jon Doherty is the best vet we ever taken our dog Maddy to. Our dog has really bad aniexty and he had 0 judgement and took his time. He was patient and did not rush the appointment. We drove up from La Jolla and will continue to because we like his vibe more than the other vets we went to around us. Also the nurse Jaime is super kind, and the receptionist up front has a great vibe which I find lacking at a lot of places. Another thing to note is I'm always sneezing because I'm allergic to cats at vet offices but I did not sneeze once here because it's super clean. Our appointment was at 4 and usually places are little dusty but it was spotless and bathroom is very clean. I would say your animal is probably in some of the safest and kind hands and I would feel confident recommending anyone here for their pet. As I'm one of those people that notices everything and this place is 10/10!

    We went to Oceanside vet for a couple of years with our first dog and then with our second dog. They neutured our newer golden retreiver two days before Thankgiving 2024 and we ended up in another ER the next day and all the way through Thanksgiving as our poor dog needed life saving surgery because both veins that the doctor sutured during surgery came undone/or were not sutured at all. Our sweet boy was bleeding internally and the ER vets ended up doing surgery Thanksiving evening. Removed nearly two pints of blood from his stomach, cutting him completely open, and found both bleeding blood vessels. While I realize this could have been a total fluke, having both blood vessels unsutured is quite suspicious. It was a horrible experience and they never even reached out to see if he was ok knowing exaclty what happened since the ER sent medical records to Oceanside Vet. To top it off Oceanside vet is not doing a thing to help us and we are now stuck paying a $12,000 ER bill on top of the $1,000 we paid to Oceanside vet for the botched neuter. We are obviously going to a new vet now and another thing I noticed is that our new vet does all medical exams and administers medicine in the room with you. Oceanside Vet would always take them into a back room which I didnt realize was so odd until going to a new vet. Highly unprofessional all around.

    Nice vet doctors, but really poor at business. High prices and unreasonable requests. Front office staff need to be improved.

    How long do general check ups for cats normally take?

    For my cat 20-30 minutes, she gets checked top to bottom per my request she is nine years old & I want to be sure she will continue a great quality of life.

    Is it per se 'normal' to wait 30+ minutes to get in a rm when you have an appt & are present on time?

    Let me put it this way... if your pet were having an emergency, would you like the vet to stop working on saving their life so they could hurry up and see someone with an appointment on time? Not me.. I would prefer that the vet and team continue to… Read more

    HUGE thank you to everyone that helped my dog Luna out on Saturday. She accidentally drank some…read morePinesol, to which I freaked out because I had no idea what would happen next. I called, they picked up immediately, and let me know to come in asap. My fiance and I came in and they helped Luna right away. Although I was terrified for my dog, all the staff worked together to help her and help ease the nerves my fiance and I had. After a day full of anxiety and crying, everyone said Luna behaved super well, and were so compassionate towards the situation. I seriously can't thank you guys enough for everything. Im so grateful for how it turned out, especially cause with pinesol it could've gone much worse. THANK YOU

    Absolutely unacceptable experience at Surfside Animal Hospital…read more I brought my dog in with a BROKEN LEG and paid good money for what I thought was professional care. After taking X-rays, I was told she would be fine with just a splint and that surgery was NOT needed. I trusted that advice, because that's what you're supposed to be able to do when you go to a vet. Days later, I get a voicemail from Dr. Goren admitting that after "really reviewing" the X-rays -- including images they already had but somehow didn't properly review -- they now believe my dog actually DOES need surgery and that it may not heal correctly without it. So my dog was sent home in pain with the WRONG treatment plan because they didn't even fully review her imaging the first time? That is not a small mistake. That is negligence. This delay could have serious consequences for my dog's recovery, all because of a lack of attention to detail. What makes this even worse is the emotional stress and complete betrayal of trust this has caused. As a pet owner, you rely on professionals to guide you during scary situations like this, and instead I was given false reassurance that directly impacted my dog's care. I paid for professional care and instead got careless decision-making and a complete lack of thoroughness. Now my dog may have to go through more pain, more stress, and more expense because of their mistake. If your pet has anything serious going on, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else or get a second opinion immediately. I would not trust this place with my pet's health again.

    My dog Attila needed to get some back teeth pull out, he was had an infection…read more After visit a vet , I decided to get a second opinion , I went to " El Dorado Animal Hospital " , Dr. Perez and his staff are great , Dr. Perez explain everything about the surgery to pull the bad teeth from my dog. I was concerned about leaving him like usually is in any vet, he's an old boy, but they give him a little shoot to sedate him with me there so he never realized I left and they call me when he was starting to wake up, so I was there for him. Surgery went very well and today he's back playing ball. Dr. Perez is our vet now for my 2 Dogs, I am glad I found this place. Thank you guys !!!

    I can't say enough good things about Dorado Animal. The care my dachshund, Newton, receives there…read moreis truly exceptional. The entire staff is attentive, compassionate, and clearly dedicated to making both pets and their owners feel comfortable every step of the way. What really sets this place apart is the vet. He consistently takes the time to explain everything in a way that actually makes sense--sometimes even using diagrams to break down medical concepts. It makes such a difference to fully understand what's going on, rather than feeling overwhelmed by complicated medical jargon. I always leave feeling informed and confident about Newton's care. On top of that, their pricing is very fair, which makes quality care accessible without added stress. Because of the amazing experiences I've had, I've referred several family members and friends--and they've all had equally positive visits. We truly love Dorado Animal and are so grateful to have found such a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and kind veterinary team.
