While we…read moreended up having one of the worst nights of our lives and our senior pup died of aggressive cancer, the staff here was extremely caring and kind, to the point that I wanted to make this review. We weren't rushed to make a decision, we were given time and treatment options, and they took the time to answer our numerous questions and concerns, despite it being a holiday weekend and late at night. While I do hope I'm never in a similar situation again, I would recommend taking your pup here.

Let me start by saying when a worried pet parent is calling and trying to explain what's going on, you DO NOT say, "I'm putting you on hold I don't have time to talk." Literally got two sentences out. We get it, you're busy. Learn some customer service skills or god forbid some compassion. Then seeing how others were treated over and over while in the waiting room. Even the vet was rude. Oh and thank you for your expert opinion while only looking at our dog. Did nothing else but sent us with a 200 dollar bill. You guys take the cake. And it sucks

We heartily encourage anyone who needs a good vet to check them out. We first went there because they were right down the road from our temporary stay in a pet-friendly hotel in Atascadero. Now that we live in Paso, it's still a short enough drive that we can take them here and we really think this is a special veterinary clinic. We used to live in Morro Bay and loved Dr Truax and Dr Stephens, both of whom are now retired. These A-Town vets are awesome. Thank you so much!! We have seen Dr Schmidt, Dr Ramos, and Dr Tarica and they were all great and really know their stuff.

The experience was a "zero" out of 5. He became infected; I sent in videos of him limping, he was improperly treated. I had to bring him to the Emergency Vet ($$$) as they didn't wrap it (they thought they did, but didn't, couldn't recall if they did stitches/did/didn't?... just a misfire of care all round). The truth is, they botched Tucker's foot, he was in a lot of pain/infected, and they did not own it, feel sorry, or anything. I have switched to amazing new vets since. It's too bad as front office staff, office manager and Dr. S are great. The dew claw dr was nice too, but the result was painfully bad.

I really like my vet, but if they were to take care of getting my dog cremated it was going to cost upwards of $300 and I wouldn't get her ashes back for 2-3 weeks. I called around and Tyler from Oak Hills got back to me within 24 hours and quoted me $70 with a turn around time of 2-3 days. Drop off was extremely easy since he utilizes El Camino Veterinary Hospital and thankfully the girl who took my dog was very sweet and sympathetic. It can be so hard losing your best friend. I am so thankful that the process of my sweet dog's death was handled with such care. I received a certification of authenticity and the box was lovely that they used for her ashes. I am using my dogs ashes to have a glass ball made, so at first I was a bit surprised that I could not access the ashes without a screwdriver, but thankfully I figured it out quickly. :) For reference- my dog was 11 lbs. The oak box is 6in x 3in x 2.5in (they give you options of wood). Her cremated remains equals about 1 cup. I hope this review is of use to someone else. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Oak Hills and will use them again when that time arrives for my other pets.
