Like others have said, if you love your pets do not take them here. I'm not going to tell my story because it's still too painful. I just want to add my 1 star (minus many if I could).

I would give zero stars if possible. I dropped my 30lb collie off to be fixed. They charged 560.00 so its deffiantly not the cheapest(so i thought I would get exceptional care). Picked my dog up and later that night I noticed somthing was irritating her. When they shaved her for surgery they severely burnt her skin. This means the clippers were too hot and dragged across her skin. The owner/manager was sopose to call me today to have a discussion which I knew wasn't going to happen. It breaks my heart that there is poor equ... read more

Worst hospital ever. I took my dog in for grooming and they administered vaccines without asking if he had already had them. I have had a total of 3 dogs at this vet and there was an issue every time. The staff (night time staff) does nothing, but play around the whole time they are 'working' instead of performing their duties as a vet hospital. They marked my account as do not service even though THEY made the mistake and didn't communicate as to the vaccines my dog needed or not!!! Horrible company!!!!!

I took my small dog here after he broke his front leg. I was desperate to help my dog In time of need so I only had time to go to the emergency vet the night before and then East Lake clinic the next day. The Dr seemed very helpful and he for the most part acted as if he was giving me good prices for the operation my dog needed on his leg. Well come to find out, I could have paid half the price in Hollister and the advice he gave me was horrible. He told me that with the metal plate it could hold up a house it was so "ST... read more

This was the worst animal hospital EVER!! I was held hostage in their office when my boyfriend had to go home and get the money to pay for the office visit for my cat. I was told I could not leave until the whole bill was paid in full. I will NEVER take or recommend this place to anyone.

this is a LONG OVERDUE review of this whack clinic!!! i have taken my pets here in the past because it is conveniently located near my house and its like one of the only vets in watsonville. OKAY FIRST OF ALL my sister used to be a vet tech here annnd lets just say the head dr isnt the nicest guy. she quit because of the heartlessness he exhibited. why go into animal care if u dont care about animals? which brings me to my story. the last time i ever set foot in that place again was a couple months ago. my cat who is the abs... read more

Made an appointment to have my dog fixed. They sent me two emails saying to drop off the dog at 7am for the surgery. I arrived at 7am, in the pouring rain, and was told via speaker at the door that she was not allowed to open the door until 8am. They didn't even let me in out of the rain. So, I wait till 8am and they finally open the door, but I am then told that the receptionist hasn't arrived yet. I wait another 10 minutes while this lady takes phone calls but will not help me. I say flat out that I've been waiting o... read more

Brought in 2 rescued cats (feral) that have become somewhat domesticated to get spayed. One of them was really hard to get in the pet carrier. We got bit and scratched. For the most part, the front office was professional. 400 dollars each is a bit steep but we don't want more kittens. And it was really hard to catch them, so getting it done then made sense. The procedure seemed to go ok and they called to let us know when they could come home. As far as we can tell, the procedure was done properly. The 1 star rati... read more

I recently moved to CA and have been looking for a good vet for my two small dogs. I thought I would stick to a local vet so I tried East Lake Animal Clinic. When I first arrived I noticed several piles of dog feces in the parking lot and on the sidewalk up to the entrance. I am not accustomed to vets that don't keep things like that cleaned up. My pups were overdue for a couple tests so I figured it would be harmless to carry them past the mess. The staff was alright, checked me in and the wait wasn't too long. Initia... read more
