The vets are knowledgeable and very professional. Everybody is very sweet with our dogs, to the point that Gigi, our female cavapoo pulls us to go into the vet's office.

We have been bringing our 3 boxers to Dr. Pacheco for more than 8 years and we have nothing but gratitude to express towards him and his practice. Dr. Pacheco and his staff are excellent; they are very professional and the most compassionate I have ever experienced from any vet practice. They love animals and they really care. If Dr. Pacheco finds a situation where he cannot treat a condition, he will not take the task and your money. He will not only refer you to somebody who is better suited to do it, but he will find the best. I completely trust him as our vet and friend.

Got sucked into visiting this vet over a year ago after making the mistake of purchasing from a Pet Store instead of adopting or getting from a breeder. My pup was due for his annual vaccines and was told of their wonderful promotional pricing for their services and got an appointment thinking its just a one time visit & don’t have to deal with them again. Day of appointment comes, these promotions they told me 2x over the phone were never “noted” nor are they aware of how they gave me that estimate. Then comes the sales pitch... this is your cost with the “insurance”.. & this is your cost without ($75+)... okay.. whatever I’m already here just sell me the insurance and let me go. Spoke to the Dr about the hotspot my dog currently has and how ive been treating it and noticed it getting better... I made it clear from the beginning that I just want the service & nothing additional as far as products... no Benadryl they charge you 5x the cost for, not for any preventative medication he can write me an RX for and I’ll purchase elsewhere. Well they wanna do a skin scrape to make sure its not something else... $20+ more... result? Negative. Fine at least I can rest easy. Lady comes and bills me and saids oh and the dr provided you with a cream to apply to the hotspot, instead of the treatment you are actively using and proving to be working... Check the invoice ... $20 (WITH INSURANCE DISCOUNT)... looked up the same medication on Chewy... $5... they refused to refund me and provide me with a RX so I can purchase it on my own because the “medication was already removed from the shelf” Insurance or not, they better believe that I will never visit this location again nor would I let anyone that cares about their animals visit this clinic. I guess ultimately I’m at fault for giving them a second chance after my initial bad experience. STAY AWAY!
