I took my dog here in March for Enrlichiosis because we couldn't get him in to his regular vet. They immediately took him away from me and out of sight and I had no idea where they took him. He's always had separation anxiety from me, so I could only imagine how scared he was without me. They called us back and told us he was in bad shape and his condition was guarded. I was allowed to see him briefly before we left becuase they said the needed to keep him for 2 days. According to the rules, I was only allowed to see him twi... read more

We recently brought our dog to Mission Veterinary Emergency & Specialty for what we believed was a true emergency: sudden, severe pain, panting, shivering, and a hard abdomen. I'm not a casual client--I've spent well over $20,000 here in the past and have previously had good experiences, so I expected strong triage and clear communication. Instead, even though we were the only ones in the lobby, we waited without a meaningful triage exam or explanation that he was truly safe to remain in the waiting room. We expressed con... read more

Wish I could leave 0 stars. My dog was uncontrollably throwing up which mission obviously advised that we come in to get her checked out. We got there around 4:22am and they got us checked in. After getting us checked in they put us in a room where they left us for two and a half hours. No one asked if we were okay, no one did any sort of evaluation of my dog to see if she was dying, nothing. If you want a vet that will leave your animal unattended to die this is the animal hospital for you. This was completely unprofessiona... read more

Terrible experience. Our dog was bitten by another dog. Long wait, place did not seem busy. The vet started an IV then said my dog needed exploratory surgery for $5000 to see if any internal organs had been affected. I asked if the could do a sonogram instead, which seemed to make her mad. I declined the $5000 surgery and they became extremely rude, literally just handed me my dog. I was first struggling to pay the $200 bill and open the door to leave with my dog in my arms, when I noticed that they had left the IV in.... read more

The vet we saw was very standoffish; she acted mad that I was there. Waiting for her to chart and checkout took longer than an hour. I will avoid coming back here at all costs.

This is not a good place to take your pet. The vets seem to take advantage of vulnerable families. They will guilt you into paying tens of thousands of dollars for non sense. Making you believe your pet will die instantly if you don't pay these outrageous bills. Do yourself a favor and find a better place!

If you're curious why Mission is charging you three times as much as they used to, it's because they were recently bought by private equity firm JAB Holdings. I used to leave here feeling like I'd been treated fairly, now it's all about how much they can squeeze out of me. There are plenty of independent vets in the area who won't overcharge and guilt you into unnecessary tests/treatments.
