Dr. Seeley removed a mast cell tumor from my dog's neck and spent several minutes with me afterwards to explain the surgery and answer any questions. Karissa and the other members of the staff were all incredibly professional and helpful. I drove from Ojai because the prices there were literally double what Stiern charged me. When I phoned Stiern they gave me a clear estimate with a low and a high possibility and there were no surprises or typical extra charges. I would highly recommend this vet to anyone!

After having a negative experience at Mt Vernon we decided to give Stiern a chance based off the positive reviews. We saw Dr Bollier and he was amazing. Went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and very honest and did not try to upsell us for unessasary products. We will definately be bring our dog back and recommend this place to others.

Stiern and the veterinarians who work here are awesome! Even in a really difficult situation they were upfront, honest and did everything they could, without charging me an arm and a leg. This is the only place I will take my pets now!

I have used this veterinary office to care for our dogs and cats for more than 18 years. Our favorite veterinarians are Drs. Tim Anderson and Mark Holland but we have been well served by all of the veterinarians on staff. Not only that, but the office staff is excellent too - well organized, efficient and friendly. They are the kind of people who meet you once and remember your face and name forever. We have received excellent routine care as well as emergency care. It's a busy office but we have never been turned away ... read more

Even though I live deep in the southwest, I make the long trek across town to visit Stiern for my pets and I truly couldn't be happier with their service. Over the years, I've had absolutely atrocious experiences at various vets in town (namely: Banfield in the Petsmart on Ming? Completely misdiagnosed my great dane, then killed him by giving him a medication that I later found out is supposed to be taken for no more than 3 days. . . for 14 days!), but I will always use Stiern. Just to give you some background about how gre... read more

Would give zero stars if permitted. We have been long time formerly happy clients of Dr Rakow. However, our opinion has been altered to extremely unhappy former clients. As background, we have scheduled two appointments each approximately one month apart "because they were fully booked". When we showed for the first appointment we were informed "they had an emergency" so we understood and rescheduled to the next available, which was another months wait. Took time off from work to attend the rescheduled appointment and again ... read more
