I suspected my 10 week old puppy had a bladder infection. They took her right in, did the appropriate testing, prescribed the right medication & she's already feeling much better. They proactively call to check on her & we've set up a follow up exam to ensure that she's 100% well. I have every confidence in Bernardo Heights Veterinary Hospital. They always provide above & beyond excellent care. I am grateful for the personal love & attention they have given all my (9) dogs over the past 20 years. Wouldn't have taken them anywhere else. Thank you!

I have been coming here to see Dr. Anderson an Dr. Roberto and they are both very kind and give my dog enough time to feel comfortable since she tends to be always nervous she does eventually calm down. We are very happy with the front desk as well and their technicians, I highly recommend recommend them. Thank you very much

This clinic is the best I've been so far. Came here for a PTLO surgery and considering making them my main veterinarian , even though they are 45 min away. Dr. Anderson and his staff are wonderful, informative, accommodating and very knowledgeable. They give me all the information and do not make the whole process feel rushed. Their pricing is very reasonable considering other clinic charge 4 to 5k for tplo and the complimentary nail trim while under anesthesia is something I really appreciate since other vets typically tack on an additional 20 to 30$. The front desk and technicians are all superb as well.

My dog, Sugar is like my “baby”. I know that’s a common sentiment among some pet owners - but Sugar is amazing and I shopped vet hospitals when I learned she needed some teeth extractions. I chose BHVH because from the moment I entered I could feel a difference. The reception area is a celebration of dogs - with huge framed portraits of dogs lining the wall. And the vet tech who explained the procedure was very thorough and transparent about the pricing. So, I took Sugar there (she is 12 in December) for some extractions. Turns out, she needed 11 teeth pulled including one canine. She made it through the surgery - was groggy afterwards and I took her home. But she was up and running the very next day. I was given very clear instructions prior to the surgery, along with written instructions and prescriptions to prep for the surgery. Afterward, more very clear instructions for how to care for her at home - and the instructions were given by caring professionals who clearly wanted the best outcome for Sugar. She is two days into her recovery and acting like a puppy already. I received a post surgery call from BHVH today to make sure Sugar was doing well. We also scheduled a follow up appointment a few weeks from now. But the kicker was that they also told me they’d made a mistake on my bill - and would be crediting my account over $300! Crediting - not charging more. After I’d already paid the bill. Let that sink in. Well, suffice it to say, I’m a customer for life 🙌

I've had a lot of experience with many good veterinarians and staff over the years - BH Veterinary Hospital ranks at the top, no exaggeration. Every single staff member is super professional and efficient - on the phone, via email, in person, follow up calls re: pet welfare... I'm so impressed.
