Very off-putting when the vet you've just met for the first time starts complaining about other staff and the owner. Then tells us how smart he is and how much training he has had. And then, after lots of chit chat, gives our dog a very cursory exam. Won't go back.

close to year ago, I had my dog evaluated for a possible ear infection; historically when my dog gets ear infections in his left ear, he throws up his meal and gets lame for 1-2 days; my dog did his usual again; I took him into east lake clinic and explained the history of symptoms to the vet on call; the work-up was over $1000 this time due to the vet thinking that this time my dog had GI problems, I told the vet this is usually how he is when he has an ear infection; very expensive xrays were taken and he vet and reception... read more

We took our dog in for a tumor removal surgery and paid up front and then recived a call saying it was 1,000 fodlors more how could that be .. I had heard bad things already about this clinic but didn't believe it until now ... And to top it of we I asked for the new estament they could find it and after a while they found it in the garbage ... and then it didn't add up to what they were saying charging me double for things ridiculous! I would nerve recommend it to anyone .. Some animal lovers they turned out to be

This veterinarian is utterly worthless. Brought my dog here for an infection and didn't even give my dog a prescription for antibiotics. Very expensive very bad. I will never trust any "veterinarian" again and if it wasn't for the corrupt government and the "prescription" mafia we would just buy medicines online and not even use your "services." BTW theres sites that sell medicines without prescription.

My first experience with East lake Animal Clinic was horrible. The male vet is unprofessional and careless about his clients I don't even know his name because it's not worth remembering . Him and his assistant treated my pets with no care and he was really rude when I had a few concerns about my pets, he rudely walked out of the room and didn't bother listening to what I had to say . Personally I felt like all they wanted was to give me any useless medication for my pets just to take away my money . I do NOT recommend this ... read more

We have taken our dog to Eastlake Vet, since we got him 11 years ago. We were very happy & pleased with the care he received. We have boarded him there many times. BUT 3 years ago we saw a new Dr. about 10 minutes later after he said our dog would have to have meds for the rest of his life, blood work once a month, and X rays 3 xs a year. I told my husband I felt like we just left a car lot, because this Dr. Was a car salesman. I let the receptionist know we did not want this dr again. I made an apt. With Dr Carol, he e... read more

I will NEVER come back here! It closer and cheaper but I will drive further and pay more then to deal with these people. They said my cat was an aggressive cat That he was scratching, bitting and spraying poop. They wanted to sedate him for $300 to just give him a shot and to check him. I asked multiple times if I could go in the back and be with him. Because he has never been aggressive in the six year (3 kids) that I've had him. They said "no we don't allow owners in the back" I asked for my cat back and we left. I went... read more

Very expensive. I had been taking my cat Mandy to Dena in Prunedale . I love her. Mandy had kidney issues and it was only a matter of short time. Dena kept her very comfortable and we were waiting and watching closely for when Mandy was ready to leave. Sadly she was ready on a Monday and my vet office is closed on Monday. Also it was on Memorial day so my second vet was closed as well. So I found East Lake was open. Not for emergencies, it was a regular open day. I was charged $220.00 to help my tiny little cat cross over. ... read more
