I took my cat to Lifetime for the first time and saw Dr. C. I brought her in because I saw a growth in her mouth. I asked him to look in her mouth and he would not. He said they needed to do x-rays, anesthsesia etc. etc. then gave me an estimate for over $2,000. It was an estimate for Dental Surgery with a long list of services. My cat does not need dental surgery because she has no teeth! If he had read her chart from my old vet, Dr Michael, he would have known that. I have since seen another vet who DID look in her m... read more

this place is horrible. I called and asked if I could bring my cat in for just a sanitary shave which he has had many times before but the place that I usually go was too busy today. This is a grooming service and I was not told over the phone that my cat would need a veterinary exam just to get a grooming service. Not only did they take me 45 minutes after my appointment time, it wasn't until I got in the room that they told me I needed an exam done by the vet just to get the sanitary shave. The exam was $75 and that wasn't... read more

My aunt is a senior citizen and unable to post on Yelp, so she asked me to post the following on her behalf. My aunt's dog of 17 years recently died within 2 days of having dental work performed by Dr. Koral Solorzano at the Lifetime Animal Care Center. Even at 17 years old, he was running around and chasing my aunt's daughter's dog just the day before the dental visit. It was not explained to my aunt that her dog would need to be put under anesthesia (and therefore, the risks associated for a 17 year old dog were also n... read more

If I could give this place less than one star I would. I've never felt so strongly that the technicians, staff, and doctors cared so little for my pets health and well-being. My dog has been seen multiple times and each time they were completely unorganized and rude, as well as giving me wrong information and a misdiagnosis. No one seemed to be knowledgeable about what my dog needed, and the necessary steps to help him. Also, after being seen, they said my dog was fine even though weeks later, I got an random invoice includi... read more

I have been a customer of Lifetime Animal Care for 18-years and I have never had any problems with this location. Over the past few years it has been a sharp decline. The grand finale for me was when I encountered Dr., Koral Solorzano. I recently visited Dr. Koral Solorzano's at lifetime Animal care, with high hopes for quality care and professional service. Unfortunately, my experience with her was far from satisfactory. In fact, I found her to be unprofessional, insecure, incompetent, unprepared, vindictive, and unwilli... read more

Worst vet I've been to in San Diego. Currently, I am sitting at an urgent care at 11am on Friday when lifetime SHOULD be open. Their voicemail says they are closed, I've received no email or text that office hours would be different. My dog was just attacked by another dog. I pay for the paw plan with them which I extremely regret doing. Besides this current issue, anytime I visit them they go with the most costly and invasive treatment..for example my dog had a simple ear infection and they wanted to put an implant/stint in... read more

It's disappointing when you've been waiting for an appointment that was scheduled two weeks ago to get cancelled the week of. My dog and I have been patiently waiting for this appointment and the receptionist showed no consideration or apologized for the inconvenience, yet wanted to schedule me three weeks out. While my past experience has been great, the moment I need an appointment; the rescheduling is disheartening. For the receptionist to blow it off only adds more discomfort towards wanting to reconsider this location f... read more

We began coming to Lifetime many years ago under previous ownership and loved the old vet. He retired and sold this vets office to a corporation. Sadly, personalized care deteriorated. we had purchased their "paw plan" and things were fine until our dog needed an appointment for the same day. Our dog suffered from a spine issue she greatly aggravated while in a kennel. The kennel caused her much stress and aggravation, making her condition much worse due to her agitation. They would not see our very sick dog the day of... read more

Came here once. Never again. The front desk people do the absolute minimum and are not friendly. The vet was judgmental and was more like a car salesman trying to sell us on every little thing rather than actually listening to our concerns. They do always have appointments available so if you do have to bring your pets here make sure you ask all the right questions so as not to put your pet through any unnecessary procedures or meds and be specific when talking with the front desk people about what you need otherwise they wo... read more
