Palm Bluff Veterinary Hospital

I want to say this place is horrible, so I don't have to share him, but that would be a downright lie. Dr. Shabazian (I think I spelled that right), the clinic's owner, is an extraordinary vet. Our family has been going to him for all of our pet needs and preventative care for over 35 years...back when his office was off Escalon and Blackstone. He is kind and considerate and goes above and beyond for his patients and their owners. He has a vast wealth of knowledge that makes him a remarkable vet. He has the dog whisperer touch, in my opinion. He is priced extremely fair and works with you when necessary. If you have a pet you want to ensure is cared for correctly now and in the future, I would recommend Palm Bluff Veterinary Hospital. Cheers to the man keeping our dogs healthy, happy, and cozy!

Absolutely perfect 🥰 I highly recommend this veterinarian office. Everyone was so polite and helpful. I took in a foster kitten to have his leg amputated. They did such a great job. The incision and stitches were so neat and clean. We had no issues during his healing process.

First thing I want to say about this place is that they don’t test kittens for FelV. Dr. Shahbazian failed us. We took our cats here to get checked out before bringing our parents new kitten over, a kitten previously checked and given a clean bill of health by Dr. Shahbazian. While we were there we specifically asked Dr. Shahbazian If there was any concern for feline leukemia (felV) or FIV. He said there was no concern because the kitten had been checked out and vaccinated. We had this kitten in our house for four days and two weeks later we come to find out she has feline leukemia. The vet never tested her and when asked about it he just explained that he doesn’t test kittens anymore and “hindsight is 20/20.” Later when we asked Dr. Shahbazian for more information about felV and how it spreads he couldn’t answer any of our questions and seemingly had no knowledge about it. He repeatedly said “it’s complicated” and admitted he didn’t have answers for us. Luckily, our cats were kept mostly separated from the kitten and at this point we are sure they did not contract felV. We have had to pay hundreds of dollars in vet bills getting them retested as it is something that can take weeks or months to show up all because of Dr. Shahbazian’s negligence. I’ve never been to a vet that didn’t test new cats and kittens for felV/fiv. It seems pretty standard everywhere else. We will not be returning here.

I love how they know all my pets and the doctor always calls to check on them or request you to call for a follow up on the visit. My fur babies absolutely love coming here and they always get star treatment.

My dogs have been coming here since I was a kid. This vet is still one of the best in town and Dr. Shahbazian is the nicest person. That being said, they are on the more expensive end of veterinary care. However, the price is well worth it when these doctors take the time to check in with you after having to take your pet to the emergency room and truly care about the well being of your furry friends.
