VCA Anderson Animal Hospital
4.4(347)✓ Verified
Most visits deliver attentive, kind care with vets who spend time explaining your options and follow up afterward. Dr. Roberts, Dr. Lewis, Dr. Stocks, and Dr. Jen stand out for genuine attention to nervous pets and complex cases. A handful of negative visits mention staff who were dismissive or rough with anxious dogs, and one account privacy issue surfaced, but these are exceptions in a largely positive pattern. The hospital serves rescue and adopted animals well, handles puppy and senior exams with care, and excels at end-of-life support. Euthanasia visits receive particular praise for dignity and compassion. Some reviewers felt pressured or judged, though more often clients praise the lack of upselling and clear cost discussion.

Bear Valley Veterinary Care Center
4.3(381)✓ Verified
Bear Valley wins loyalty through attentive care and surgical skill. Staff members like Dr. Brown, Dr. Stevenson, Dr. Thomas, Sarah, and Fabi earn consistent praise for patience with nervous animals and clear explanations. Several long-term clients credit the clinic with complex surgeries others declined. The main friction point is cost: at least one reviewer found prices significantly higher than competitors offering similar service, raising questions about value retention. The clinic lists emergency care, laser therapy, dental cleaning, and preventative services on their website and claims Gold Certified Cat Friendly Practice status. Reviewers name follow-up texts from staff, behavioral support for anxious older dogs, and willingness to take time during appointments. A small number flag rudeness or upselling, suggesting experience varies by visit.
