I’ve had nothing but good experiences so far bringing my pup here since March, they are so kind and patient and will answer any questions you may have regarding anything! The only problem I’ve had that makes my rating not a 5 was a pickup vet visit, where I wasn’t communicated what time I needed to pick my puppy up when dropping him off, and they told me after I called at 12:30 that it was 12PM. My pup loves the people there though so they’re doing something right! I would say if you have insurance the price is reasonable but without it, it could be quite pricey as expected.

March 2nd I had a very disappointing experience at Banfield on Murphy Canyon Road. I dropped off my two dogs and was told by the doctor they would be ready around 4 PM. When I arrived to pick them up, I stood at the front desk waiting for assistance for over 20 minutes. There was no line. During that time, an employee named Valeria was sitting down on her phone instead of helping customers. Valeria clearly saw me standing there but did not acknowledge me or ask if I needed assistance. I eventually had to approach her myself. When Valeria finally helped me, Valeria took an excessive amount of time even though my dogs were supposed to already be ready. Valeria had a rude attitude and was trying to act smart with me. At one point, while I was calling my daughter to let her know I had been waiting for 20 minutes, Valeria asked me who I was talking to …which was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. In total, I ended up waiting nearly an hour for dogs that were supposed to be ready. I have never encountered behavior like this at Banfield before. After I got home, I received a call from Banfield it was Valeria. Instead of resolving anything professionally, Valeria called me in what felt like an attempt to argue. She said, “I know you had concerns waiting outside,” in a tone that felt confrontational rather than helpful. I hung up. Valeria then called again, which felt like harassment and intimidation. I asked Valeria if she was harassing me and ended the call. She did not call again after that. If this is how employees are representing the clinic, it is very concerning. Valeria should not be working in a customer-facing position if she is not willing to do her job and remains on her phone instead of assisting clients. This behavior from Valeria is unacceptable and extremely unprofessional.

Jessie helped me out today with my saluki Habibti. She was completely transparent and very gentle with my pup. Ultimately she convinced me to sign up for a pet care plan for recurring treatment and preventative care. I didn't feel pressured at all and have been completely satisfied with the care my girl has received here since her ear infection earlier this year! I know pet insurance policies exist out there, but the convenience of the location and the direct care is very easy to justify.

We’re a military family and move every 2-3 years. Finding a vet can be stressful on the pets. The team at this location has been incredible. From urgent visits, to the kindness of understanding when funds are tight, they’ve worked with us to find the best solutions for our cat and bulldog. Dr. King always took extra time to answer questions. Bella is now 11 and needed an eye removal. A local ophthalmologist quoted us at over $5k and we were devastated. Dr. Giles was able to do the procedure at a much more reasonable price and did an outstanding job. The entire team at the front desk (shoutout to Moira) was always helpful, patient, and kind. Bella is doing so well now (we’ve since moved again) and we are definitely missing the staff in San Diego. Thank you for all you do!

I would give 0 stars if I could. I dropped my dog off by their recommendation so they could have time to run all tests and exams they needed on him instead of the 30 min exam where I can be there. The poor guy was terrified. Tell me why I had to keep calling them asking when I can pick him up and finally after 8 hours they told me he’s ready. When I got there they inform me they weren’t able to run any tests because he was so scared. I would have picked him up hours before if they had just told me. I’d rather them admit they can’t examine him then keep him there terrified for hours and then try to charge me for medicine. I told them I don’t want the meds as I don’t want to give them a dime. Everyone just kept saying to me “that’s how it goes sometimes” do not bring your pet to this unprofessional establishment. I’m just really sad for my dog and that I trusted them
