Animal Medical Center | San Jose

I was looking for a place to have our kitten neutered, but vet prices are very high right now. Someone recommended Animal Medical Center and they were great! $150 less than our regular vet and they didn't tack on exam and office fees. They work with rescue groups, so they know how great the need for neutering services is. I was able to get an appointment on a Saturday, which was great. The staff and vets are friendly and caring. They did a wonderful job on our Buster and he was fully recovered from the procedure by late afternoon. Kind of a long way for us to make them our regular vet, but if you live near Bascom and Camden in South San Jose and you have pets, they are a great choice!

Never ever ever go here. The doctor doesn't care about your animal. Doesn't. Care. I took my boy here and he had to be muzzled but that shouldn't matter. It shouldn't matter if your dog has a muzzle or not, they should all be able to obtain the same treatment. The doctor seemed very "over it" when examining my dog, sighing, rubbing his eyes, chuckling when I answered a question in a way he didn't like in a "this is unbelievable" kind of way. He made me feel terrible about how hard I was making his job because my dog was muzzled then drew up a $2200 bill. He is a veterinarian, a medical professional, not every animal is going to be friendly and this cannot have been the first one in his career he had to examine one. The front desk staff and techs are friendly, the vet though does not care, he just wants your money so he can keep his Mercedes.

I had a recent scare with my cat and decided to take him in to see Dr. Grewal at Animal Medical center, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Dr. Grewal is an exceptional veterinarian who truly cares about his patients and their well-being. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate, and always takes the time to explain everything in detail so that you can make informed decisions about your pet's care. Not only is Dr. Grewal an excellent doctor, but he also clearly loves what he does, and it shows in the way he interacts with his patients and their owners. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Grewal and Animal Medical Center to anyone looking for top-notch veterinary care. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about the animals they treat. Thank you, Dr. Grewal, for all that you do!

Friendly and very helpful on the phone. Super friendly and nice staff. Jae the tech is AMAZING! My husky didn't want to leave. All the staff is up front and honest with pricing, diagnostics, etc. Very relaxed atmosphere which put everyone living thing at ease. I did not see any family members scared, or trying to leave. Everyone seemed happy to be at the vet on an early Saturday morning.

To their credit all the techs and assistants were very nice. I took my cat in for what I thought was a constipation issue. The doctor was extremely rough with him. I wanted to tell him to please be more gentle with my pet. I could tell that my cat was terrified. He wanted to do well over $1000 worth of work that would be completely unnecessary, that or which I of course declined. When I was waiting for the vet tech to return I heard that doctor just screaming at the top of his lungs at that poor tech! In what universe does he think that would be acceptable? This made me and my mom extremely uncomfortable. I will never take my cat back to them and I won’t recommend them to anyone.
