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

Antoinette and Dr. King are phenomenal experience in caring for animals is just beyond compared. They were very tentative and understanding and answered all my questions that I had and my concerns that I had about my pet they took the time to check everything and go over details I felt so relieved knowing that my pet is in good hands is being taken well. Care of the whole team is amazing and outstanding. I wish I can give them more than just five stars. Banfield at Murphy Canyon is great and number one in my book thank you thank you for your service and your time and your kindness.

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.

Worst experience I have ever had. My dog has anxiety so he has to be heavily medicated prior to his appointment. His appointment was cancelled twice at the last minute after giving him the necessary medication to bring him in for his appointment. I ended up bringing him to a different BANFIELD hoping the service would be better but it wasn’t. I told him besides the medication I gave him, he would need to be sedated. I even signed a paper given them the okay to do it. End result, doctor did not see him until after the medication wore off and did not realize that I okayed for them to sedate him. So it’s been 3 failed appointments to have my dog who suddenly is suffering from seizures and struggling with his breathing. Very disappointed at how this has been handled. They didn’t even do half of the regular wellness treatments and test that he was supposed to get. Now they want to reschedule which means driving him some more. Terrible!
