    This spot is a gem. Our family has been going to this pet hospital for over 20 years. Both our dogs have been well cared for over the years. The staff is super caring, helpful, and empathetic. They are knowledgeable and give great advice on the phone. All the doctors are highly competent and provide excellent care. Love them

    I realize that I wrote a review for Pacifica Pet Hospital back in March, 2024, but feel compelled to write another review as I would like others to know how stellar this hospital, Dr. Choi, and Staff/Techs are! Also, when people go over and beyond in ways that fill your heart and soul, it is important to say THANK YOU and be recognized. We realized that our 14 (almost 15) year old Golden Retriever, Charlie, was struggling greatly with his back legs and suddenly basically lost all muscle control of his back leg muscles. Quality of life was diminishing rapidly. We called Dr. Choi's office and, bless their hearts, they instructed us to come in right away for an "end of life" assessment. The compassion and kindness our Charlie and us were given was so genuine and heartfelt that it helped us get through the appointment. When it was felt by both us and Dr. Choi that Charlie would just keep regressing, we made the very hard decision to have our boy euthanized. We were given privacy to be with Charlie and give him lots of hugs and kisses. It was one of the hardest things we ever had to do. But, with the love and support of Dr. Choi and all the staff at PPH, it made all the difference in the world. We have been going to PPH since we rescued Charlie in 2013 (through Rescued Love from Taiwan). It is, by far, the BEST animal hospital I have ever encountered. I would like to personally thank and send great gratitude to Dr. Choi, Kelly, Haina, Shelly, Staci, Bisma, Natalie, Nadesh, Tonni, Tianna, Molly, Heidi, and Jeffry. You all make such a difference in the lives of our pets and their families.

We worked closely with Dr Couture and she probably single handedly extended my cat's life by at least a year and helped reducing lots of her pain. I love their new location (which has plenty of parking) and love that it's for cats only. I took my cat to general pet hospitals before and all the dogs barking and sniffing around really added more stress to my cat. I currently don't have a cat anymore but if I ended up adopting one, this is where I will be taking my future cat:)

I am a new cat mom and really need a lot of education on cats' issues. But today I was stunned by how the manager treated me. Instead of a hello, I was rudely told to remove my cat from the counter. Minutes later, the same harsh tone again when one cat was on a leash. I get that cleanliness matters, but kindness matters too. And how you say things also matter. That was not compassionate, kind or respectful. I don't need to be reminded that the counter would now need to be cleaned. I simply don't know as all the previous times I was at the clinic, this was all allowed. I am still learning - and there is a better way to communicate. What makes it worse? She didn't even step out to talk, citing an "internal meeting." That's not leadership, that's avoidance. This put pressure on the staff, who by the way, were all amazing and apologetic. Staff shouldn't apologize for manager's behavior! That's not good leadership. Love the doctors here, but management needs a serious lesson in customer service and communication skills.

I started bringing my dog here to address his luxating patella. We came up with a plan to start shockwave therapy and water treadmill therapy and supplements. We've had two appointments out of the five of the package we purchased. He's much more comfortable with all the staff and treatments now. The first two shockwave treatments are done with the doctors to assess and develop a treatment plan, and the following treatments are done with a certified therapist. Everyone has been so kind to my dog that he loves coming here. And not just for the human grade cheese he's given to do the exercises!! We were also given a comprehensive List of physical therapy movements and stretches to do at home. It's too soon to tell if the treatment is working well, but we have high hopes with this clinic! It takes us about 3 hours of traffic to get to and from this clinic, but it's such a gem. They provide towels and blowdryers and snacks for the water treadmill work. We opted to not try the injection as my dog is scared of shots, who isn't really?! The doctor was so kind to provide us with a another supplement option, which we have started. They check in to see how he's doing at the start of every appointment and tailor the session to his needs. We opted to not go through insurance, but they can help out with paperwork if you do so. Well worth it to learn non invasive techniques to rehab your beloved pups. Can't wait to see my little baby become stronger with these amazing professionals!

The staff was kind and helpful and Dr Fady is especially terrific and empathetic. He helped Oscar recover enough to get through a few more months before he had another heart failure that he couldn't recover from. We still continue to take our other dog there and only see Dr Fady unless it's something minor. Although not the cheapest vet in town, they are open 24 hours and have a pretty good size office and staff. Dr Fady is only in 3 days a week, however, but otherwise if you need someone to see your pet they are pretty accommodating and have at least one other vet and several vet techs.

    I brought Patches in under urgent circumstances. his pancreas levels were eight times the normal…read moremaximum, compounded by stage two chronic kidney disease. There were genuine positives about my experience. When I could only afford one day of the quoted three-day stay, they extended his stay without charge to ensure his pancreas levels improved. The ER doctor was caring and thoroughly answered my questions. The vet tech that first night was exceptional, she included me in his care, brought me a Gatorade, and spent her time between patients trying to find something he'd eat. She was outstanding. My main feedback is that the communication at this clinic was a consistent problem, and it affected Patches' care directly. I was handed an invoice before anyone had a real conversation with me about my dog. I was told to wait in a room, then sent back to the waiting room, then called back after another half hour with no explanation. On the second night, I arrived at 10 PM and asked the technician when Patches had last been outside to go potty. He said he didn't know. The chart said noon. Ten hours -- while they were pumping him with IV fluids, in a dog with kidney disease. When I raised the issue, the tech awkwardly told me "there's no neglect here." Although I'm sure it's not intentional, there is no excuse. If your internal communication is so bad that you are neglecting patients because of it, then it needs to be resolved immediately. After discharge, his levels worsened significantly within a week. I don't know why the doctor said that we should do fluid therapy every three days and then see how it goes from there. What happened was he ended up needing daily fluid therapy and his levels were so high that he needed to be hospitalized again after one week. If we had just done daily fluid therapy for the entire first week, maybe his levels wouldn't have ever gotten that high. These are all things that we would've been able to communicate about if there was any sort of communication throughout the whole process. I also would've liked to have known that gabapentin is for palliative care and it destroys your kidneys. I was told to give it to him following his hospitalization and his kidney levels went from stage three to double the maximum of end stage kidney failure within one week. The vet nutritionist said that this was all manageable with diet and fluid therapy and the veterinarian at the hospital said that if I don't put him down within a week, he would become violently ill and I shouldn't let it get that far. I met about five different doctors during that week, and 3 different vet techs. As you can tell from reading this, I was being told a lot of different things by a lot of different people. This was a very stressful and chaotic time for me. Meanwhile, my dog is in pain, loosing his energy and appetite and being neglected in critical care, of all the places. It would've been nice if I had somebody who wasn't being pulled away to take care of animals to just sit down and talk to me. I believe this is a capable team and I understand you guys are doing really hard work. My situation was complicated and it was the end of his life, so it's hard to say that anything could've gotten much better. But I am upset about the lack of communication and it does need to be addressed.
