Preventive care

From my first interaction with Serra Vet, I was impressed with their knowledge and kindness. Having adopted a 2 year old Sheltie in need of a spay, and current vaccines. Their team took terrific care of her. The pre-op, surgery and post-op instructions were clear. The surgery went well (and they were able to complete the spay laparoscopically). If I had any questions about sweet Fiona’s recovery, Serra was only a phone call away. It’s been a while since I had a pet, so I was very glad to have found this team!

I don’t live close to this vet, but my normal vet recommended them for a combination neuter + gastroplexy for my young, 1.5 year old malinois because she did not offer gastroplexy surgeries via laparoscopic and Dr. Natt did. My dog is a fairly reactive dog with strange people, and while I continue to help him get over his fear of being handled by strangers, he wears a muzzle and has to use medication to be seen by a vet. Dr. Natt and staff here were very empathetic toward him and understood his fears. They were happy to provide his surgeries. The vet techs and staff were compassionate and understanding. Dr. Natt was competent and very nice. Unfortunately, when the surgery started, the camera for the laparoscopy did not work, and they called me to discuss my options. I could choose to do traditional gastroplexy since he was already under anesthesia or do the neuter and wait 2 weeks to do the laproscopic gastroplexy when he’s recovered. I chose the later even though it was a major inconvenience to me, because i had to have my own knee surgery two weeks after my dog’s neuter/gastroplexy. Since they were now separated, that meant having his gastroplexy same week as my knee surgery. So I have to say I was a bit bummed out by the lack of equipment preparation. Regardless, they were excellent and did a great job. On my dog’s second surgery/gastroplexy, he happened to bust one of his stitches because he busted his cone in the morning right before his meds. We woke up, he was alert (not yet medicated) and while going potty, he busted his cone. while my husband fixed it, I’m on crutches, unable to do much, he happened to start playing with my other dog (normally he’s crated while recovering but he was on a potty break) and found a ball and hell broke loose. So we had to have him get restitched. We were lucky he didn’t bust his internal stitches. Made me wish i asked more questions about the traditional gastroplexy at the time of his first surgery/neuter and the pro’s or cons of both the regular gastroplexy vs. Laparoscopic. Perhaps I would have just chosen the regular one. I’m not sure there’s a difference. But would have been nice to know, i just didn’t think to ask. So my poor dog now needed an extra week in the cone. All because of a mix of weird timing and unforeseen circumstances. Over all, a good experience, staff was nice/competent, doctor very nice and put up with my little cujo which goes a LONG way in my book. I appreciate any vet who is willing to work with a fearful dog.

Dr. Nat and his staff have taken care of my torti cats for years, good as Gold - my cats live to be 18 & 19 years and I credit that with the care they have taken with my little furry girls. The medical care is worth the price - including dental cleaning and annual lab work. They also offer monthly injects for my 15 year old cat's joint pain - it works and she's no longer limping.

pretty good they were the only clinic available and they did a really great job with my dog Freddy! And he’s getting a lot better day by day

I have been here only recently, but was very happy with how they handled my cat. He was a stray and TNR kitty we adopted but he still liked to fight, so he had a big cheek abscess. Serra got him in much more quickly than any other local vets, and the front desk and assistants were super helpful. Dr Natt fixed him up nicely. I am heading back soon for a well visit.
