I don't know exactly what words to use except for exceptional! This hospital is the primary one I use for my babies. My poor baby was hurting really bad. She was attacked by the most unexpected one. Her sister. I don't blame it all on her sister but she's the one that probably did the most damage. Dr velasco took real good care of my baby. He was actually surprised that she survived such an attack. But nevertheless they cared for my baby to where now she's running around and playing like nothing ever happened. When the attack happened, she had to spend the night at the emergency animal hospital. That one night in emergency was so expensive, I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to afford the rest of her treatment and care from Dr velasco. He was so sympathetic for what happened that he took it upon himself to give me a huge discount. I don't think he did it for me, he probably did it for my baby. Over the past couple months I had to take my baby to receive treatment. Which now she is a regular and the staff loves her. I'm going to have to take her down there just to visit. When it comes to animal Care in the high desert, Bear valley animal hospital is definitely the one to go to.

Very good service. They answered all of my. They were extremely busy. Still, we were treated me as if I was the only person in the building. I thank you and Boomer thanks you.

I am so happy to have such a wonderful primary vet for my dogs and cats. I haven’t had a bad experience with any of the vets on staff, but I will say Dr Anderson is exceptional. She has taken such great care of my senior dog, Orion, with all his kidney issues that have recently cropped up. She is so knowledgeable and I never feel rushed or pushed off when I have questions. I’d also like to mention that the women who work the front counter are amazing as well. I highly recommend this vet office.

LOL. is all I can do, I called MULTIPLE clinics looking for the best priced clinics to get two feral kittens spayed that I had rescued. I chose this place as they were very pricey but I was able to get two different organizations to help donate to the service. I fully budgeted, saved and planned to spend a nice penny even with the donations. With that being spent I planned to spend at most $350. I planned this out to make sure my kitties were too young not small to also help with the cost. Well that was pointless because somehow at 4 months and 4 lbs each, the kittens were both in heat and I had to pay an additional $200 putting the total cost at $587. So much for the donations, I feel scammed. I will be asking for records of the vets notes during the surgery so have some type of documentation or proof that my kittens were actually in heat. I did ask for some type of proof when I picked up my babies but then lady at the desk said they have profited rid of any “ proof “ or ask the technician which is what I did and she began to smirk almost laugh and said I’d have to call and request them. Which I think is crazy because why couldn’t the vet provide me some proof right then n there or call and notify me of the situation. Makes no sense and makes me wonder if the rest of the people that came in with a similar situation also had this outcome of their cat just “in heat”. I guess it makes sense though how they are even able to take donations.
