Scripps Ranch Veterinary Hospital

We have been going to Dr.K for many years now because she’s always been great! I recommend SRVH to everyone I know and for many reasons. The whole staff is great and the prices are fair. I feel safe bringing my dogs here because I know they are in good hands. I Highly recommend.

We have taken our dog Ruby to Dr. K for 2 TPLO surgeries. The receptionists and technicians are always kind and work well with the animals as much as I’ve seen. Dr. K is an excellent vet who seems to thoroughly investigate any issues Ruby has had. Cost was a huge factor in determining where we could get Ruby’s surgery done, and I can confidently say this was the most affordable place in San Diego that I could get an appointment (reasonably soon at least). That being said she only uses board certified surgeons, so you know your getting the best for your pet. Side note, the office is in a very pleasant area. Plenty of spots to grab a quick bite or coffee if you just have a short wait.

Our cat was not eating, which is never a good sign. We called the vet and were able to book a visit the same day. After a thorough check, they found a mass in our boy's stomach. It turned out that he had been secretly eating hair bands (12 of them!) that clogged up his tummy. Thankfully, the vet was able to schedule him for surgery the next morning, which was very busy because it was right before the Memorial holiday. Two weeks later, he's as good as new, thanks to their prompt and excellent care. He is not a smart kitty, but we love him and are thrilled he is okay.

Don't go here if you're a new pet owner. I took my cat in for an emergency appointment around a month ago; more specifically, I had a feeling that the food I was giving him was causing allergies/food adversion and thus he was throwing up. Before even getting to know me, ask my name, my pet's name, his diet, or anything of the sort, the Vet hastily took my animal to receive a 600 dollar X-Ray, informing me that this is a life or death situation. I reluctantly agreed thinking it truly was something terminal -- doctor didn't even realize she didn't know my animal until the 600 dollars was gone. I am a student and am financially independent, so this is even more significant. Doctor let me know she'd call me back in an hour to review the results. She didn't call me back for three hours, and I had to wait on hold for 30 minutes just to get an ominous response from the Doctor, telling me that she couldn't actually see much because there was food in his stomach. She left me on a loose end, and never bothered to call or follow-up, despite saying she would. I ended up switching his food the day of, and this fixed the problem. Pets are inherently expensive, and all owners should know this before getting a pet, but the lack of care and intent among the staff was evident. I am a Scripps Ranch Resident and I am saddened by my experience, and recommend that anyone reading this review should go elsewhere. Save your money!

Dr. Karen was kind and patient with our feral kitten, Pretty Orange, who was around 4-5 months old. We took her to see the vet because we were worried she might be pregnant. Despite being shy and timid, Pretty Orange went berserk- tried to jumped out of the window once she was in the examination room. However, Dr. Karen remained gentle throughout the visit, opting not to perform a pregnancy check so as not to stress out our beloved pet. Instead, she advised us to keep an eye out for any signs of pregnancy and let nature take its course. To our surprise, when we left, Dr. Karen didn't charge us for the visit. Thank you, Dr. K.
