El Cid Animal Clinic

Generously helped coach me through finding a solution for a sweet dog I found roaming the street on a 100+ degree day. They came right out to my car to try to chip read him and gave him a once over, gave me an approximate age, general health approval. The vet couldn’t have been nicer. They made recommendations in terms of what options I had for trying to find him a loving home. Which I greatly appreciated. Unfortunately no chip was found. He’s currently at Peggy Adams up for adoption- I couldn’t keep him but he was the sweetest dog, knew all his commands. I hope someone gives him a forever home soon.

I've had so many great experiences here! Our puppy is our first child. She has always been in wonderful hands with Dr. Garcia and the staff at El Cid. I know it can be hard to find a vet you truly trust, but I knew after the first appointment with Dr. Garcia we were in good hands. On one occasion when our pup tore a ligament in her knee, Dr. Garcia was able to help get her in to see a specialist immediately and even helped push her up on the surgery schedule. We are forever grateful for El Cid and Dr. Garcia!

Dr. Brozman is awesome and has helped my Angel so much! Thanks to her, we were able to keep him off pharma medicine using holistic natural medicine (though she does offer both which is helpful) and adjusting his diet per her recommendations. She's extremely knowledgeable and genuinely caring, taking time with each client to fully answer questions and explore options together. The staff has been very kind as well. Thank you!! 🙏🐾

El Cid did my Pups teeth removal and cleaning and did a good job and treated me well.I had worries all the time about his age. They told me he will be fine and he was. He was fine. Great job good staff. Tks El Cid.

I discovered Dr. Xavier Garcia and his El Cid Animal Hospital more than 1 1/2 years ago, when my beloved little Coton De Tulear suddenly fell inexplicably ill. The doctor immediately diagnosed extreme heart failure. Dudley was not expected to make more than several weeks, maybe months, if lucky. Due to the care of Dr. Garcia — and his amazingly kind, loyal, generous and attentive staff — the Dud is still with us as he approaches his 14th birthday. In addition to being prescribed just the right combo of various K9 and human medications, Dud visits the Clinic once a week for a medical procedure that keeps him alive, much like a person on kidney dialysis. Dud, who has the heart of a lion and Lab tucked into a small body, still has an amazing zest for life, quality of life, and a huge appetite! Doctor Garcia is as good with the "parents" of our beloved 4-legged "children" as he is with his actual patients, the dogs and cats. He also has great patience, is available to his clients, and takes the time to meet with you and explain procedures, prognosis, etc. He does not push huge batteries of expensive and unnecessary tests, as a first line of fact-finding as many vets do. My current and late dogs and cats have previously been a outpatient/in-patient of some of the country's top veterinarians and vet teaching hospitals, from Florida to Louisiana, to Kansas and California, and places in between, and Dr. Garcia ranks amongst the best of the best, top-tier! Cannot say enough good things. I trust my animals' lives with him, and would trust my own as well. Also love his devotion and commitment to a wide variety of pet and human charities and causes, his determination to place rescue animals, AND he is very good-looking, too! LOL. Wonderful to have a handsome vet who is easy on the eyes! Doc Garcia is also a WORLD-CLASS opera singer! A very interesting man with so many fascinating facets and qualities. My yellow Lab Scoot, Golden Doodle Calliope and rescue kitty Micki-Boo are also El Cid patients.
