Pacific and Santa Cruz Veterinary Specialists

Our girl was very sick, Dr Robison and team really took care of her to the best of their ability. Complete compassion and care was given to our cat Gypsy. We couldn’t thank the team enough for the service and care we were given through a very hard time. (They even let us have a private room to wait in) They also made all preparations for Gypsy to be put to rest, very simple and easy process. Thank you!

We were referred to Pacific and Santa Cruz Veterinary Specialists after our guy mass cell tumors grew after several attempts to remove the. Dr. Reich and her team of radiologist and staff have been incredibly reassuring for this crazy pug lady. Dr. Reich's approach to our family is with compassion, knowledge, and patience. Her bedside manner is exceptional. I've always felt she has the best interest of our pug. She takes the time to explain things, provide context, and she will call back! Anna is another that has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She never makes us feel rushed and she always, always, takes down information with a reassuring and caring tone- however large or small things seem she knows it's important for us and our guy. If you find yourself in a situation where you need Dr. Reich or Anna's services, they will take care of you and your fur baby. Thank you Dr. Reich, Anna, and the patient admin team at Pacific and Santa Cruz vet!

Despite it being a holiday and not having the exact right rabbit savvy vet, the team was willing to try to help with my rabbit’s care. When it became obvious that my bunny needed a higher level of care the team called every vet in Northern California to help me find the right place to go to save my rabbit. I will mention that they DO NOT see rabbits at this time, but due to the urgency of my situation they did everything they could. My bunny is alive and thriving because of their early interventions.

I have been taking my cats to Santa Cruz Veterinary Hospital and Specialist for the past 10 years. They have always taken very good care of me and I think the care given by all staff members to the animals is the best in the county. From the front desk, the techs, veterinarians and specialists. They truly care about the pet and their family. I am very grateful to all of them.

I have two beloved senior cats who have experienced multiple emergencies and there is no better place to go than PSVS. The front house staff are kind, grounded, knowledgeable and efficient. The vets communicate clearly and compassionately. The staff have patiently and kindly helped me in the wee hours of the night more times than I can count. Both my cats currently see Dr. Pressel. I have literally shared with tears in my eyes to friends, that after 15yrs of extensive and expensive care for these cats, Dr. Presel is the first vet who I trust 100%. Going to the vet has always caused major constriction in my belly. Part of that is because in the past, talking with the vet has left me feeling unheard, confused and fearful. Dr. Pressel and the staff at PSVS make it a point to listen, take into consideration my perspective as the companion of these cats for 15yrs, answer my questions, give digestible information / explanation that helps me to make discerning decisions, and work with me to overcome the limitations of my budget. I've never experienced such incredible care as a human in relation with a vet or a veterinary office. I am forever grateful for PSVS and Dr. Pressel for helping to give my cats the best possible chance for a peaceful, happy elderhood... I've written many words here, but ultimately no words can do full justice. To the staff of PSVS and to Dr. Pressel most especially: Thank you!...Bless your good work in the world!
