We have been very pleased by the professionalism and transparency on costs, no surprises. The parking lot is small think about getting one of the first appointments of the day. The waiting room is even smaller, the protocol is to stay outside with your dog until your examination room is ready and go straight there. It is a bit hard to find, notice that one of the pictures has a heavy equipment place in the background with the buckets in the air; great landmark.

Just saw Dr.Gallardo and had to leave halfway thru the visit. I went to establish care for my hound mix female named Kaia. She is very gentle and quiet dog, not an ounce of aggression. Kaia is a rescue and was probably abused as a breeding hunting dog. The initial meeting with the vet tech was fine, she was kind. But after she left about 10 minutes later Dr. Gallardo came in with two vet techs. They put Kaia on a table and lifted raised it up. They then proceeded to put her in a head lock and lock her backside also. Kaia was confused and did not like the strong holds they had on her. They gave no consideration to how the hold was affecting her. I asked if it was necessary to put her in a hold like that and they said it was protocol. I then offered to help but they told me I couldn't and I could only pet her head. Dr. Gallardo proceeded to look at her ears while she became more scared in the holds. I'd never seen a vet office handle a dog like this. I asked them multiple times that they not hold her like that and just let her sit on the table and she would let them look at her. It was completely unnecessary. After attempting a few times to get them to be a bit more gentle with her I decided to just stop the visit and leave. The Doctor put her hands up made a face like I was crazy and left the room. Absolutely unprofessional. I'm the client and I'm concerned with how you're handling my pet, why not just take a break and regroup, discuss what's happening. I do not recommend this place and thought others should know before they take their animal here. Below is a pic of my super aggressive dog that needed two vet techs to put her in a two man lock hold.

Was my vet for 6 years before I moved to the mainland. Wish I could have brought them all with me. They are the most amazing animal people. Made me dogs feel so comfortable. They are the most caring vet in Hawaii. They did so much for my dogs and myself. I would recommend them a million times.
