Do not go here! Like many others have said the staff is very inconsiderate and rude. I've had multiple instances where I've called in an emergency only to be treated as if I'm just someone on a list without a pet in need. A vet should be personal and show compassion. The staff seems to be here to simple clock in a 8 hour shift and get on with life there is no passion for what they do and it shows. Find a vet that cares about you and the well being of your pet.

I would give this "clinic" and Dr. Padilla no stars if I could. Super unprofessional and RUDE. They have no sympathy and only want your money. I've had more than one bad experience here. Should've stopped bringing Koda here after they scared us and told us he had parvo when he was a puppy when he never did!!! Took him to Santa Cruz and they immediately attended us and took care of Koda. Save yourself the stress and money and don't bring your pets here!!

This is the worst Vet clinic EVER. I took my beagle here years ago to get spayed, and when I picked her up at the end of the day they handed me my bill which was significantly higher than I'd been quoted. They told me it was so high because my dog was PREGNANT and they had to ABORT all the puppies!!! They NEVER called me and informed me of this OR asked for permission to abort my dogs puppies! Just mentioned it casual when I picked her up! I was absolutely livid and this was a disgustingly inhumane choice they made, and that... read more

My daughter and I came home from a 3 hour shopping trip to find my 8 year old Boston shaky and lethargic , he seemed very out of it. We called the veterinary clinic to see if he warranted a visit. I fully understand the nature of an emergency appointment . After a brief look by a tech they took him to the back , I thought to begin a treatment. Next I was instructed to take care of the payment for the visit before they could do anything. Charge 130.00 . I thought expensive but not unreasonable. Then came the 1255.00 hig... read more

How can a veterinary clinic have no compassion? I treat all living creations past and present with the upmost respect. I cried for the loss of my love one. Instead of a hug; I was thrown out there door for expressing my feelings. The staff as a whole has no heart. Made me question their beliefs. Received my Baby frozen like a popsicle in a trash bag and shoe box. They smile in your face, but have no souls.

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
