Sacramento Veterinarians

"Although a bit pricey overall, I'm quite pleased with how they treated my cat. She was sick, they took her in, figured out what was wrong, provided medication and did follow-up to be sure she was OK. She had to spend a few hours there until they could get a specimen from her."

""As an owner/companion of senior equine friend, I appreciate the approach to veterinary medicine practiced by Dr. ; incorporating preventive, holistic, and individualized health care for horses. Working with the client to determine the appropriate plan of care for your horse, Dr. provides compassionate ...more services for both the owner and horse. Detailed summaries of diagnosis and treatment plans are provided to clients with each visit and service; documenting plan of care, follow-up services needed, and goals."

"My family and I have been going to under the previous and current ownership (same doctors) for over a year now and find them to be very compassionate. As with a lot of veterinary care, it is not cheap, but when your pets are family, you want quality care above price. Even if you can't spoil your pets, you will find them to ...more be fair in providing a detailed estimate ahead of procedures, staying in touch with you as treatment progresses and giving you all the available options. The only complaint I would have is that they can get rather busy and sometimes I have had to wait during my scheduled appointment to see the doctor and I'm rather impatient."

"This was the first visit to the vet for my new puppy, so he and I were a bit nervous. The atmosphere made me feel at ease along with the professional behavior of the front office staff. The interaction with the veterinarian was excellent. She did a thorough exam of my dog and administered his first round of vaccinations."

"The staff is very professional and seems to care for the doggies. They call them by name when we enter the office and interact very well with them. The vet goes above and beyond what is required, and also discusses pros and cons of shots, medications and treatment. I've been using them for almost 6 years and am extremely happy with how they've treated ...more me and my doggies."

"Have used several times. They were prompt to get my cocker spaniel in when he has an ear infection. Dr. was very emphathetic and listened to us, although we sound like overly concerned parents. The wait was OK, seen within 10-15 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful."

"I brought my two Yorkies to Rancho Veterinary to get their teeth cleaned. The vet, Gates, gave me an estimate in writing clearly showing a low-end amount and a high-end amount for both of my pets on separate sheets of paper. She said the high-end was the worse case and that amount would not be exceeded and I specifically asked ...more her to stay within the low-end of the amounts for both of my pets. I approved of her to do the work and she did some preliminary lab work. The results of the lab tests showed 4x the amount of liver enzymes for one of my pets. I asked her what that meant and she said it was nothing and I should wait a few months to get it retested. I left as my pets needed to stay at her clinic for most of the day.

called me to say one of my the pets needed extra work and the cost would exceed the high-end dollar amount! However, she said the other pet's teeth were in better shape so the total amount should not go over the combined estimate. When I went to her office to pick up my pets, I was in shock to learn the total amount was almost $1,000 over the high-end amounts for both pets! I was so mad. What is worse - she would not budge and not even stay within the estimate she promised in writing. In addition, she would not let me see my pets until I paid the full amount using a debit card. And, I found out later that high liver enzymes may be an extremely serious, deadly condition! She compromised by pet's health by 1.) charging close to $1,000 more than estimated in writing; 2.) removing the antibiotics from the home treatment; and 3.) and she was more concerned about making a few extra dollars than my pet's health. I do not recommend this vet. Bottomline, watch out for this vet. If you need teeth cleaning, to her, it means yanking out all their molars (I'm not sure if they even needed it!), giving you a false estimate in writing, and not telling you about a potentially serious health condition of your pets."

"He is very thorough and kind. He really cares for animals, it is not just a business for him. He seems to be up on the latest things. He has good referrals for other veterinarians. The staff is fun, when I walk in they know my name and know my dogs."
