We are forever grateful to Dr. Vitale at Sage for the incredible care she provided to our miniature dachshund, Lola. A few months ago, Lola suffered a ruptured disc in her neck and needed emergency surgery. It was an extremely stressful and frightening experience for us, especially after watching her suffer from excruciating pain for weeks. Dr. Vitale immediately brought Lola in for an MRI to verify what she correctly suspected was the problem and performed Lola's surgery right away. We truly could not have hoped for a better outcome. The surgery was a huge success, and today Lola appears to be completely pain free and is back to her happy, normal self. Seeing her comfortable and enjoying life again means more to us than we can possibly express. We cannot thank Dr. Vitale enough for what she did for Lola and for our family. She gave our dog her quality of life back, and we will always be incredibly grateful. Dr. Vitale is truly our hero, and we feel so fortunate that Lola was in her care. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! read more

Our dog was approved for PT here. The PT department was supposed to call about pricing -- never did. I called repeatedly, always voicemail: "leave a message, you won't lose your place." Took 3 days for a callback. Finally spoke to a PT specialist, confirmed clearly (multiple times): underwater treadmill therapy only. Was told it would be a 30 min, $241.16/session. Got scheduled. Told it could take two or three water therapy sessions for pet to be comfortable. Appointment canceled within a day (staff illness, understandable) -- told to call back immediately to rebook. I did, repeatedly. Same voicemail runaround. Days later got a callback only to be told all PT nurses were out and I still couldn't reschedule. Dismissive and frustrating. I gave up. A few days later, got an apology call. Gave them one more shot. Rebooked, confirmed again by phone: water therapy only. Day of: Therapists asked our goals -- I said water therapy, build strength from dogs TPLO surgery. They ran a battery of PT exercises instead. I assumed it was a warm-up. At 11:22, 40 minutes in, I asked when he'd get in the tank, which is why we are here, which is what was scheduled! The lead therapist said they no longer have enough time to fill the tank. I was shocked!! We booked, and confirmed, one specific service. They ran a different session entirely and then ran out the clock. I expressed my frustration. What were we doing here? This was not the appointment we scheduled. It was obvious the therapists knew, and it became clear I was going to be charged for a longer session than initially requested. I asked for the office manager. Spoke to the office manager. Did not pay for their lack of service and their incredibly poor communication skills. Read the other reviews here before you book. We won't be back. read more

I can't recommend SAGE Veterinary Center and Dr. Arndt enough. We brought my dog in after a traumatic fainting episode related to a heart murmur, and from the moment we arrived, I knew we were in the right place. Dr. Arndt took the time to answer every question we had, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and never rushed us. He made sure we were completely comfortable with the treatment plan and medication, but most importantly, he made my dog his #1 priority during our visit. The entire staff was kind, patient, and genuinely cared about helping my baby. The level of compassion means everything. Thank you for going above and beyond for my little Watson Baby Cake Nugget. read more

SAGE Veterinary Centers - Campbell - Happiest dog in the world - after the scariest emergency ever. - Veterinarians Near Me - Campbell, California

At ER, left in a cold room with my cat who's very weak for five hours. Checked with front desk several times they told me we are first in line - for FIVE HOURS. Unfortunately their time stamps do not lie. Their vet on duty had seen three other patients during this timeframe. we had to walk out of the ER s my cat could not maintain her body temperature. Never returning. Vet tech who helped us was nice but that's about it. read more

*First time review, not about vet services but customer service* I showed up here to book an appointment for my kitten who had a bump on her nose. I panicked despite taking her to my local vet (he told me to wait 2 weeks for the antibiotics to work before I do anything else). Long story short, I did end up pushing my appt out to wait, but with all my anxiety and pushing my appt out, the staff at Sage were very nice. They were understanding and I ended up cancelling all together because my vet was right, her bump did go away! 4 stars as they're quite expensive. A consultation just to see a doctor would have been $384 and they take a deposit of $96. I can see charging a lot for emergency but not a scheduled visit a week out. Anywho, luckily my sweetheart got better and I didn't have to take her in. Overall decent experience with their team. read more

Even though it can be such a high stress environment the staff at Sage only ever spoke to us calmly and with so much kindness and understanding. Of course our emotions were high because our fur baby was really sick but the staff gave us all the time we needed to process through the decisions they presented us with and came to explain each of them if we wanted more information. They were really gentle with our cat and made sure we were aware of the cost of everything before committing and really tried to avoid procedures that would be invasive. They even let us visit the area where our cat would be staying over night when they absolutely did not need to do that; they were so busy at the time. read more

SAGE Veterinary Centers - Campbell - Our cat recovering at home after his time at Sage - Veterinarians Near Me - Campbell, California

We were referred here for night time IV by our vet for our cat's critical condition. The nurse that received us pushed very harshly on putting our cat down, and when we mentioned wanting to continue the treatment she got very upset and kept repeating "I don't understand" "what is your goal here" "she will be isolated" etc. We ended up going to a nearby urgent vet center for treatment. It was a very traumatizing experience at a very difficult time. Would not recommend this place. read more

Excellent care, quick responses, and clean peaceful decor. My kitten arrived at the center in an emergency, minutes from death, and the Sage Veterinary Center team was able to miraculously resuscitate him and provide ongoing support, so he is now with me here today. With much gratitude to the team and special thanks to Jackie, Maribel, Paul, Chelsea, Caroline, and Dr. Krentz for your dedication and demonstrated commitment to high quality emergency care that is saving the lives of animals and helping their people compassionately through critical times. read more

We always love SAGE! We know we can trust them. After a horrific night at VEG in San Jose, we were devastated with the quality of care received and our poor baby was still declining so we brought her in to SAGE. We only had time to eat and shower before bringing her from one clinic to the next. They immediately triaged us, they began a plan as soon as possible, and within an hour, our sweet baby was admitted. Thank goodness for the team and the doctor! From the minute she saw our Bella, she knew something was wrong because she was in and out of consciousness. Very observant of how Bella came in versus how she was displaying signs in the room. The doctor showed so much care and empathy. Which in itself, just goes a long way. We couldn't be more thankful for this team and the doctor!! Thank you for bringing our Bella back and saving her life!!! We will always trust SAGE. I'll admit, the cost is not easy to digest but it's worth it for a peace of mind to know your pet is taken care of. read more

My experience at SAGE during a severe medical crisis was cold, dismissive, and entirely lacking in basic human empathy. I rushed my dog here on June 22, 2026. The young man with ear plugs at the front desk was cold and nonchalant while I was in clear distress. He flatly stated it would be $1,800 just to be seen, told me to wait in the parking lot, and gave zero empathy or time estimates. I felt like a total bother. While the vet techs who brought out the gurney were sweet, the care disintegrated from there. Dr. Lu introduced herself coldly and casually stated my boy was in bad shape, as if delivering trivial news about the weather. When she diagnosed his advanced cancer - which I was hearing for the first time - it felt purely transactional. When my girlfriend and I asked to see him, Dr. Lu acted as if it were an unreasonable request. Walking to the back, we saw about a dozen dark blue bags containing deceased pets' urns and keepsakes casually left on the floor in a high-traffic area. It felt incredibly disrespectful. When we reached my boy's gurney, not a single staff member was comforting him with a soft touch; they were just standing around a beeping monitor. When I asked to see his radiographs to understand what we were facing, Dr. Lu literally chuckled and asked rhetorically, "Can you read them?" Bothered by the request, she sent a tech back with a stack of prints and no explanation. I refused to let my boy spend his final moments in this heartless place. When I went to check out, multiple receptionists ignored me while on their headsets. I finally paid the $2,712, signed the medical release form, and Dr. Lu walked out without offering a single condolence. I was determined to protect my boy's remaining dignity. We took him straight to Veterinary Emergency Group on Ridder Park Drive, where he was put down that same evening. From the moment we walked in to his very last breath, VEG treated us with the utmost compassion, empathy, and respect - everything that was entirely missing at SAGE. Avoid this place if you love your pet. read more

NEVER SEE ONEIL. Marshall was seen at sage two times One for losing his eye sight The second for have no platelets and possibly itp. Dr Oneil was going to be the one who checked his blood work and changed his medication accordingly . She never called up with our vet to get his records . Never called after I personally sent them and the primary vet. My Marshall has now passed the rainbow bridge . Our hearts are shattered. We left our boy in the hands of a professional and Dr Oneil did absolutely nothing for us except completely neglect her simple job of checking his bloodwork. We only looked into it ourselves after my baby guy was put down. We trusted her and her team. We have lost all faith in animal medicine due to this women's complete negligence read more

I have always appreciated and promoted Sage Campbell everywhere I went Dr.Vitaslr and Dr. Arkans are top notch specialists. My dog's life was extended by three years. One day it appeared something happened and I took her to emergency and I brought her to Sage just because her records are there and she's 16 1/2. She had been extremely playful and social but was declining is little bit but for the life she kept ongoing. They are very hardworking and talented specialists. When I got to the hospital I took a look around and there were two vets standing staring at me on the right side of the lobby. I went into the exam room with Mia she had nothing to say she took Chloe to the ER. After that I got a telephone call from a very obnoxious person named Christina Wong. Christina Wong said when you came in here I thought your dog was dead. I asked her why she would say such a thing to what purpose.? Then I got the looks like I was and I'm impossible parent which I am not. I got up at 5 AM to cook for My dog! I care gave for three years to My dog! and I honored her for the love and support that she had given me having a small family. Christina Wong's response was simply to lie and say she said something else. This is why moving forward I will be recording all conversation conversationss with an AI device. I went back to visit my dog and poor thing tried to stand up for me and was happy to see us and the nurse or vet tech was encouraging her as welll. Christina Wong could not help herself but yell out oh you think that emphasizing that is good? In a very disparaging manner and I could tell My dog! felt it too so discouraging. She hurt my baby struggling my yelling you think that's good? She should be near animals. Then she said We thought your dog was dead. Then lied and said something else. She is a joke lying and being a vet. Paths My dog! passed the next day I got a call from the lovely Christina who could not even bring her herself to offer her condolences just to say she died while she was rolling over on an x-ray machine. I tried to tell The manager at the hospital and he wasn't having any of it. I have tried to contact The corporate office and I'm still working on that. What really bothers me is some of these people at the vets office are not qualified which I suspect is the case with Christina Wong who was overwhelmed angry lashing out at me and My dog! and apparently could not regulate her behavior. Because my vet taught me about not one more that and the veterinary suicide rate I'm always bringing candies and coffee and things to the Staff because I know they have a hard job. But if you're going to treat people poorly you should not expect for people to put up with your shortcomings. I hold myself to that standard as well. But I also tell the truth and I like people so I'm usually nice to them and don't have such severe occupational and mental issues that it's interfering with my work which is of a serious nature. I feel you pet parents I know what it's like to take care and love a dog and provide rich life and how much love you share so that is why I wrote this review. this is a small hospital and the ER and everything at Sage Redwood City is much larger and MedVet is a 24 hour clinic and they are Nextdoor to Sage Campbell. Prices are about the same. swim at the Yanez was also completing about Sage Campbell's ER behavior I don't have all the specifics but she asked me to post. Ipeople need to know that the night ER and this obnoxious person so others know how awful Christine Wong is and my dog deserved better than her bs. If she or that ride eastern Rudy blonde are there to MedVet next door they are always awesome and are not nasty miserable and hurtful. I will be reporting her further. I adored my dog everyone did adagehad to die at the hands of this horrible person. I feel horrible for letting her touch a hair on Khloe's head. We don't tolerate abuse. read more

SAGE has been our go-to place for years for emergencies and when our regular vet is out of their comfort zone. During this last visit, I was fortunate enough to get the best doctor ever, Dr. LeeAnne Jain. After two failed (and traumatic) attempts to remove a foxtail from our dog's foot and an infection that just wouldn't stop, our vet recommended we go to SAGE since they have better imaging equipment and because my dog might require surgical removal. I immediately drove over to SAGE. After waiting about three hours, we were finally seen by Dr. Jain, the kindest and most caring vet ever. After a visual inspection and a quick ultrasound, she was convinced that she had located the culprit and could get it out under light sedation via a small incision. And indeed, she was able to get the foxtail out. Now, after about a week of meds, the wound is pretty much gone, and the only evidence of any procedures is a slight bump and shaved paw where the incision was made. I'm so thankful to Dr. Jain and Nurses Janette and Blue for their empathy and for taking such good care of Oakley. You are the best! read more

SAGE Veterinary Centers - Campbell - This is the foxtail they pulled out between my dog's toes. Thank you, Dr. Jain! - Veterinarians Near Me - Campbell, California

Our experience with this clinic has been extremely disappointing. Dr. Ryan Garcia diagnosed our dog with a lifelong condition that requires ongoing medication. After recently moving out of state, we realized our dog's medication was almost out and contacted the clinic for a refill. Instead of helping, we were told they "could not" refill the prescription because we now live out of state. This made no sense to us, especially since we were able to refill other prescriptions through our in state Costco without issue. We were then told our dog would need to come in for another visit before they would authorize anything, despite it not even being a full year since his last appointment. At that point, it honestly felt less about the health and well-being of our pet and more about forcing another office visit and collecting more money. What made the situation even worse was the way we were treated during the interaction. Jessica, Dr. Garcia's head nurse, was rude and spoke to us in a very condescending manner throughout the conversation. Instead of showing empathy or professionalism, she made the entire experience feel hostile and uncomfortable during an already stressful situation involving our dog's medication. When you are dealing with a pet that depends on medication, the last thing you expect is to feel dismissed and pressured financially. We trusted this clinic with our dog's care, but this experience completely changed our opinion. I would not recommend this clinic to anyone looking for compassionate or patient-focused veterinary care. read more

UPDATED 12/22/2025 This is a difficult review for me to write, albeit a very positive one for Sage. My 10-year old Labradoodle was diagnosed by SAGE (Campbell) in early November 2025 with Hemangiosarcoma (HSA), a very aggressive form of cancer of the blood vessels that often attacks Labrador retrievers (and mixes). The diagnosis was a shock as there was no warning, and the prognosis for this type of cancer is very bleak. I opted to have SAGE perform surgery to remove my dog's spleen and a very large ruptured tumor, understanding that given the type cancer he had, I might only be buying him weeks or months. They did a great job and he was literally himself within a week, with his surgical wound healing rapidly. He then underwent three rounds of chemo at SAGE with manageable side effects, but ultimately succumbed 48 days later when a second tumor quickly grew and ruptured. But I regret nothing because, although I only gained another 7 weeks with my dog, it was worth it, and we made the most of the time we had. He was healthy and happy for the majority of that time, thanks to SAGE. This type of difficult situation, to me at least, really distinguishes great from mediocre pet hospitals, and SAGE is great. At every step of the process, from the initial diagnosis and difficult decision (whether or not to have surgery), to continued treatment, SAGE was compassionate but entirely honest. His oncologist, Dr. Regan, was there for him every step of the way, including being there when he passed. Having such great people at SAGE like Dr. Regan really helped me get through an otherwise unbearable situation. Before this review, I used SAGE primarily as an occasional emergency vet, but I should have realized that it's also an excellent general purpose vet. I am still mourning my pet's loss, which is devastating, but I am grateful for the care and attention he got from SAGE. but if I were ever to get another pup, I will definitely use SAGE for all or his/her vet needs. read more

3 stars because the vets are incredibly talented and will do every single thing to help your pet. They will not give up on your pet. Their vet staff is so loving and caring. The front desk however, may be getting a bonus for getting you to put your pet down instead of opting for emergency surgery. It seemed like the front desk woman reeeeaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy wanted us to euthanize our dog. Almost like she was invested in putting our dog down. But then 10 min later we went in the back where he was on oxygen and he was doing way better. Surgery was successful and dog is doing great. Thank you Sage Cardiology. People, do not listen to the front desk!!!! if you can afford it ALWAYS opt for emergency treatment. Always always always!! Their intake team are NOT veterinarians and their job is to give you the worst possible expectations so nothing can come back to them if the unfortunate thing happens and your pet passes away. They don't want you to come back and say "you said XYZ". The intake team is for company protection, not doing the best for YOUR pet. Do not let them sway you. read more

The vets are incompetent and the front girls are rude. I would never recommend or even consider going to them.

Less than zero. The difference between Sage and my new vet is, investors. Sage's purview is to push the price as high as possible. After we spoke the words "stabilize and release," their demeanor got very hard, and they pushed from all sides to euthanize our pet without even examining her, while simultaneously trying to convince us to leave her overnight. When I asked them to stop mentioning putting my dog down, and to please note that request in her chart, not only did they continue to persist, they wrote it in a letter. If you care about your pet but do not have insurance, expect Sage to : give shifting price information, upsell at every opportunity, and shame you when you don't have a large budget. I wouldn't want anyone to experience what we did at Sage. My dog's new vet immediately picked out neurological detail, gave us the quote we asked for, and their small staff expertly drew the requested bloodwork. Sage did none of this, least of all introduce themselves to the animal before shoving her into a back room and glaring at us for not having enough cash to be worthy to their investors. Never. Again. read more

The best Vet clinic I have ever been to. From checking in, talking to the vet tech, and the vet. I brought my dog because she had a spine injury. They were able to tell me that my dog's injury wasn't a stroke and she should recover. I had plenty of questions and they were patient and answered everything. Currently my dog can walk again and is better now! read more

I spent about $8,000 and expected a much better client experience from a specialty hospital. The entire process felt very transactional, and communication was lacking throughout. After extensive diagnostics, the follow up was a brief email rather than a phone call. My regular veterinarian calls to discuss routine bloodwork, so I expected at least that level of communication after an MRI and spinal tap. I also specifically requested a nail trim while my dog was already under anesthesia, and that request was overlooked. While I don't question the medical care, the overall experience did not justify the premium cost. read more

Got in on a Sunday with a last minute appointment since my normal vet is closed Sundays and my dog had what I thought was an ear infection. I have a Covid pup so she's not a huge fan of people but she did not shake once! The people she came into contact with were amazing ! She even went up to the vet tech which I've never seen before. I've never felt so heard by a doctor or vet tech since we have started having constant skin issues about four years ago. My only issue is I can't take her here for all her visits. Thank you Dr. Garcia and the initial vet tech for making such a horrible day turn out to be a good experience. read more

Last week, I had to bring my wiener dog in for an emergency. Just a few days after his annual dental cleaning, one of his eyes became swollen. Within a matter of hours, it got so bad that I had no choice but to rush him to the emergency vet. When you call an emergency hospital and they tell you to come right away, you'd expect to be seen promptly--not to sit in the waiting room for another 4-6 hours. This, in my opinion, is one of the biggest flaws with emergency vet hospitals. They likely know if you're still hours away from being seen, but they tell you to come immediately regardless. In my case, I had to watch my dog's face continue to swell and even bleed for another five hours before, near midnight, I pushed for him to be seen. I even called two other hospitals in hopes of finding faster care. He was eventually prescribed medication for cellulitis of the eye tissue. While it's still unclear exactly how or why it developed, his condition has improved dramatically over the last few days and is now almost back to normal. Waiting for hours at an emergency vet is frustrating enough, but watching your pet suffer needlessly during that time makes the experience far worse. read more

This review is specifically for the oncology department at SAGE Campbell. My experience with Dr. Kiselowe and team was amazing. They treated my dog with so much love and care. He was always happy to go to his appointments and was happy when I picked him up after treatment. I trusted the vet's expertise and appreciated his kind manner with my dog and with me. This team made my dog's last few years wonderful and I'm so grateful we opted for treatment with them. As for reviews of the ER dept., yes it's always a long wait when going in for emergencies. But the ER doctor I met with was honest and professional. read more

SAGE Veterinary Centers - Campbell - My dog after tx, super happy. - Veterinarians Near Me - Campbell, California

Our dog was suddenly losing his balance, but was still able to walk fairly well. We rushed him to Sage ER (recommended by our vet since they have neurologists here if needed). We waited in the lobby and were seen 4 hours later. From the time we arrived to the time we were seen, he basically lost all mobility in his back legs and was declining sharply. The ER vet stated that they couldn't do anything and to bring him back on Monday since they don't have a neurologist in until Monday (and we still may not even be seen). We went home and basically broke down because we didn't how to help our dog and he couldn't go to the bathroom at all. We ended up finding UCD hospital which was open on weekends. Thankfully, we showed up and they admitted us. They stated that the chances of my dog walking again would've dropped from 90% to 50% if we waited until Monday since he declined so quickly and was bordering stage 5 IVDD (in just one day). It's shocking how few neuro vets there are staffed in the Bay Area. I was shocked to learn that it's rare to have a fully staffed neurologist and appointments can take weeks and months since it's such a time sensitive condition. I'm also disappointed that the ER vet at Sage didn't urgently tell me how critical my dog's condition was and tell me what my options were outside of Sage. Overall though, I highly have to praise the receptionist staff and the nurses/vets that do the intake and advice. They're all so incredibly sweet and helpful. Huge huge shoutout to Kendra for reassuring me everything will be ok and providing comfort when I was so lost and had a mental breakdown. I cannot thank her enough for showing me compassion during this extremely traumatic time. Sage is so incredibly lucky to have her. read more

There are a ton of positive reviews.I will add mine. RVT, Paul and DVM , Johanne Lu took care of a puncture wounds on my cat's front leg. In the front office, Client Service Coordinators, Barbara, and Christine were efficient and compassionate. Paul and Joanne were great in their knowledge as well as deeply caring attention. My primary care Vet has referred me in the past to Sage for emergency care so I go directly there when there is a chance that my cats might need imaging or special tests. Top notch care. I am a retired ICU registered nurse and know how to evaluate good medical care. This facility is excellent. I will keep bringing my pets here whenever I need emergency care. read more

I want to say that for an emergency clinic, it's a better experience than I thought. I do appreciate that they provide some snacks and coffee for patrons as you are expected to wait longer than usual. At night it's mostly quiet with a small team, so it's harder to get seen immediately. In the day time, more people are on staff so they're able to process people faster. The staff seem like they truly do enjoy their work and I really appreciate the level of care and concern they seem to share for all of the animals. read more

The wait can be long. We checked in around 8:30pm on Sunday and were seen around 3:00 am. But, I'm so grateful to have an emergency vet open 24/7 that's close by. We were concerned that our Pomeranian was dehydrated. After assessing him, he got fluids, antibiotics and we had his bloodwork done. The results of the bloodwork revealed some info about a lack of Albumin so we'll be doing an ultrasound through our primary vet to learn more. So glad we are now armed with info the figure out what the root cause of our pup's discomfort could be. read more

If you have an emergency, I would suggest going somewhere else... They charged me for doing absolutely nothing. I am still not quite sure why or if I was supposed to be charged. Dr. Johanne Lu the veterinarian was the coldest person I have come across in quite awhile, and I would suggest she reconsider her career or burnout. She told me nothing I did not already know from the previous vet I came from. And did not even look, touch, or examine my cat in her brief moment in the room. Just that she would go get an estimate before doing anything $$$. It did not seem like my animal would be loved or taken care of well at this place, which is ridiculous for the price... read more

I do not understand the unprofessional call I just received trying to schedule my dog to come in. Being told there's no neurologist until Monday and then saying there's no appointments. Then I said okay I'll go ahead seek somewhere else because I don't feel comfortable waiting until Monday then laughing and saying "I'm trying to say that but you won't let me" absolutely distasteful and disheartening.

Ten stars for Dr. Jason Arndt. Honestly, this man embodies what a top tier veterinarian should be. Beyond kind, empathetic, brilliant and a 360 degree critical thinker in all matters cardiology.

**If you can't afford pet health insurance then please do not get a pet** One morning Peppermint started pacing back and forth to each litter box (2) trying to pee but no signs of pee for 30 min but only a little tiny bit. Her regular vet had no availability until the next day so I took her to Sage ER (I always take my cats here for emergencies). It was about 7:45am on a Thursday and thank goodness it wasn't super busy. I agreed to the possible bill which is $$$$ expensive but this is why pet owners should invest in pet insurance (full benefits - MetLife 95% money back). Our furbabies (pets) are children and require health benefits. Back to the story, her bladder was empty so they gave her fluid, took some urine for a urinalysis with culture (growing bacteria takes 3-5 days) and the 1st test results will be ready in 24hrs. In the meantime they prescribed a painkiller Gabapentin (caused her some constipation). Friday, Dr. Krentz told me that she has UTI (bacteria, blood and white blood cells found in sample) and prescribed a common type antibiotics (7 days) until the urine culture results are complete to understand the type of bacteria (ended up being ecoli) is the cause of her UTI and if the treatment needs to change. Today is Monday (day 3 of antibiotics) and she is feeling much better, not exactly herself but about 80% normal Peppermint. The antibiotic amoxicillin/clavulanate did loosen up her stool but it may also be because I added pumpkin to her diet since the painkillers caused constipation. Btw, I called Sage for advice to lower and eventually stopped the painkillers because she is normally on the constipated side + her personality changed :( . Plus, besides the pacing, she wasn't showing extreme pain. Sage was great when I would call for a concern. If the phones are backed up they do provide a call back, after all they are super busy and there is a shortage of veterinarians. Statistically there will be less veterinarians in the future, we need more doctors for our pets. Forgot to mention that facilities is super clean. Big thanks to Sage ER and Dr. Krentz for always being there for my kitties. The past 2 times Peppermint (for this review) and Atari. read more

Sage is a money pit. you for your last penny with a caring face. they're extremely expensive and force it you. I had a with a surgeon what I paid $130 and I knew exactly what the procedure will be like but they forced me again to come and talk to another doctor so they can squeeze another consultation fee. This was during the Covid. Today I paid $2200 for supportive care which is catheter and injecting and some pain medication. And now they're telling me pay $3000-$5000 for overnight hospitalization just for us to monitor. The doctors and the care team are great but it's designed to drain your pocket. read more

We switched over to Dr. Regan after reaching out to her for a second opinion. She was recommended to us by a family friend and several vets seemed to speak highly of her. I thought she was kind enough and her bedside manner was fine, but there was a general lack of communication and warmth to our overall experience with her. We only saw her a couple of times before our dog had to be euthanized at Sage (more on that below). Most of the communication we had was through her vet techs/nurses, which I understand is pretty normal and expected. However, even when we requested to speak to her privately in a room, she never granted that request and would just speak to us in the waiting room. I don't think it's very kind to be told your dog's cancer is progressing while surrounded by strangers in a quiet waiting room. Towards the end, I also felt like Dr. Regan was giving up on my dog because she didn't give us any other alternatives or directions. Our family friend also felt like Dr. Regan gave up on her dog towards the end too. Earlier this month, my dog ended up having an emergency due to complications with his cancer. I rushed him to Sage, which I now regret. They triaged him fairly quickly, which I do appreciate. However, the ER vet assigned to us, Dr. Oberoi, seemed inexperienced and young. She, along with the nurse that came in to go over billing with us, could work on her bedside manner. I felt like Dr. Oberoi was very clearly steering us towards euthanasia. In regards to my pet's issue, it just seemed rather inconclusive. I just wish there was someone there, like an oncologist, who could have provided their expertise on the situation. Instead, we felt pressured to put our dog down because of an issue Dr. Oberoi "thinks" he had. They took us to a "quiet room" so we could say our goodbyes to our dog. This was the worst part of the entire experience. This "quiet room" is hardly quiet. It is located literally right next to the waiting room. The ENTIRE waiting room can hear you cry and sob. It is the worst feeling in the world to go through the tragedy of saying goodbye to your pet to then walk out to all of the stares from people in the waiting room because they heard the entire breakdown. After all of this, Dr. Regan has not reached out. The entire experience of dealing with canine cancer and losing your dog to cancer was incredibly cold. A social worker from Sage did reach out about a week later to see how I was doing, which was nice. In terms of oncology, I cannot say that I recommend Sage. Perhaps if your dog has a very treatable cancer, you might have luck and Dr. Regan won't give up on you. In terms of ER, it was an even worse experience. I've been to MedVet Mt. View before and although their triaging took longer, I felt like the ER vet was much clearer and confident, even though she was also young. I suppose it is just a toss up of what ER vet you get at any vet hospital. However, I would absolutely avoid euthanizing your pet here at Sage if you can. read more
