When our dog Oliver became suddenly paralyzed in all four limbs due to a ruptured disc in his neck, Dr. Jurney and her team quite literally saved his life. Dr. Jurney was able to see him on an emergency basis and perform an MRI and surgery the same day he started showing symptoms! What felt like an absolute nightmare that morning quickly became manageable once Oliver was in their care. Oliver was in expert hands, undergoing surgery in less than 6 hours from the initial visit with his primary vet who made the referral to Remedy Veterinary Specialists. Dr. Jurney clearly explained the diagnosis, answered all of our questions, and supported us as we made the decision to proceed with surgery. The team kept us updated throughout the entire process with phone calls and texts. Receiving a photo from the vet tech taking care of the patients during the overnight shift was incredibly welcome. Being able to see Oliver lifting his head in his kennel brought overwhelming relief and we were actually able to sleep well that night knowing he was in good care. We were able to bring him home the very next day, and he was already standing and walking (albeit with assistance)! Oliver had no complications from the surgery or prescribed medication, and he healed remarkably quickly. Because of their incredible care, we were able to celebrate Christmas with our best friend!!! I will be forever grateful to Dr. Jurney and her team. I cannot recommend Dr. Jurney and the rest of the team at Remedy Vet highly enough. Their expertise, efficiency, and compassion made all the difference during one of the scariest moments of our lives.

I am beyond grateful for the care and expertise provided by Dr. Jurney and the staff at Remedy Specialist. They have truly gone above and beyond in every way at a critical juncture for my dog. Dr. Jurney is extremely knowledgeable, professional and her compassion knows no bounds. The whole process from booking through the diagnosis has been pain-free, efficient, and treated with loving care. I think we forget what it feels like to have staff and a doctor really care about your pet, that shows great compassion in getting the right diagnosis and treatment even when it’s beyond the scope of neurology. I will eternally be grateful to Dr. Jurney and staff and highly recommend them for anyone needing their services and expertise. Bonus, their establishment feels like home with cozy couches, rugs, plants, and flooded with natural light and expertly decorated.. That alone Show you the level of detail they go to to put beloved pets and pet parents at ease as you’re not in a sterile room with steel tables smelling of noxious chemicals. If I could give a 100 star rating, I would❤️🥰

We are so grateful for Dr. Journey, Laura, Ann, the other vet techs, and the whole team at Remedy Vet for taking such great care of our imperial Shih Tzu. She had IVDD and needed neck surgery to remove a bulging disc. They have been informative, consultative, caring, and communicative throughout the whole process. They continue to check in post surgery and answer the phone whenever we have questions about her recovery care. We have truly felt that our little dog is in the very best hands possible, which has been such a blessing during a scary and emotional time. They not only treated her condition with expertise and precision, but also treated us with patience, empathy, and reassurance. We cannot recommend Remedy Vet enough and are beyond thankful for the level of care they provided to our sweet girl.

All I can say is that Remedy is an incredibly Veterinary Practice. When our cat was sick we were swiftly helped to improve his quality of life and get him feeling better then, years later when it was truly time to let him go (he was 21years old at that point), we were given gentle guidance and advice on what to do to make sure he didn't suffer. Kindness, compassion, professionalism, and personal care are all key components of the relationships built at Remedy, and I certainly value mine. I will definitely be bringing both my other fur babies to Remedy when the need arises - hopefully not too often though. ;)

So fortunate to have a Neurologist and team of this caliber in the Bay Area. Dr. Jurney is a top veterinary neurologist and the co-owner of the practice is a Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) and Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner (CVPP). This combination is incredible and complements each other and the needs of their patients so well. My dog (Chihuahua x Rat Terrier) was demonstrating some neurological symptoms, as well as some back pain. We were able to get an appointment for a consultation without delay and scheduled an MRI, which was done in-house. Having the advanced imaging capability is so key with neurology, as is having a board-certified veterinary neurologist right there to evaluate the images and make a diagnosis. Luckily, our little dog didn't have to have surgery, but knowing they have such an advanced team to perform specialized spine or brain surgery is incredible.
