Overall we have had good experiences at VCA but nothing makes you more grateful for a compassionate vet than when it's time to say goodbye. VCA Central Park found that our sweet girl had a mass on her spleen and they gave us all of our options on moving forward. A few months later it was clear her time had come and the kindness they showed us really stuck with me. They allowed our little family and other dog to be there and never rushed us during any step of the process. We did choose to have her cremated and when we got her ashes back they were in a beautiful box engraved with her name which just felt like she was well cared for. We are so grateful for their staff and their kindness. All of our routine care and illness appointments have been great but during our most emotional visit they really stood out as a compassionate care provider.

I have had two experiences with this Animal Hospital, once before it changed ownership to VCA. In 2019, we lost a young cat due to seizures from unknown causes. We initially brought this cat to what is now VCA Central park. At the time it was another privately owned vet. This cat was ultimately brought to VCA Alameda East for additional testing and hopefully diagnosis. We spent over $4,000 on diagnostic testing that ultimately heeded no answers. While this was unfortunate, it was not the fault of VCA. During the cat's stay at VCA Alameda East, he was not administered a basic IV fluid flush to treat a potential toxin ingestion and I believe that this simple measure could have saved his life and our family thousands of dollars. We will never have answers, but I still believe that diagnostic testing was prioritized over symptom treatment. Last week, another one of our cats developed a concerning urinary issue that resulted in some blood spots in the litter box. We quickly decided to bring the cat to the now VCA owned Central Park Animal Hospital. We decided to do a blood test and urine test to rule out any possible organ concerns and confirm the presence of a UTI, which we believed to be a likely cause and easy to treat problem based on the symptoms and history of the cat. We were sent home with pain medication and told to wait on the urine culture results before administering an antibiotic injection or oral antibiotic. The next day we found some more concerning bloody urine spots outside the litter box and quickly called the vet to evaluate the next steps. An oral antibiotic was quickly ordered for us to pick up without the results of the urine culture confirming an infection. We had been struggling with the oral pain medication and I asked the vet if the injection was an option for us to avoid additional stress on the cat and family. At this point is when I feel that I was deliberately lied to without medical basis. In a message conversation with VCA I was told that the injectable antibiotic was not effective against UTIs and that the oral antibiotic was a more effective medication. This is simply untrue, and after the results of the urine culture ultimately came back positive for a UTI, the injectable antibiotic was the suggested treatment plan. Our cat suffered for 5 additional days because VCA prioritized expensive diagnostic testing over affordable and effective treatment options. A simple antibiotic injection did treat her UTI and she is back to full health again. On top of that, I was deliberately lied to regarding the effectiveness of an injectable antibiotic vs an oral antibiotic in an attempt to cover up a simple treatment plan mistake. In hindsight, its obviously clear that VCA should have administered the injectable antibiotic the first day the cat was seen, as it would have saved the cat almost an additional week of pain and suffering. We spent almost $500 on diagnostic testing to confirm that she had a simple UTI that could have been resolved with a $100 shot or $40 oral meds. They also recommended a $2,000 dental treatment plan before offering either one of the above treatments for her urinary concerns. I will never bring an animal to VCA again unless it is the last option I have in an emergency and I'd suggest whomever is reading this does not either.

I drive all the way across town to see these vets because of how well they handle my anxious dog. It’s always stressful for her, but the staff are so kind and patient with my fearful girl- giving her space and going slow if they can, even when it’s clear they’re busy. The vets and techs have all been slow and gentle with her, so much so that she started to doze off at Dr Hafer’s feet one day while we talked! She panics in any public space and this has been *the only time* she has ever been so relaxed in public, especially at the vet. We had never met Dr. Hafer until that appointment, so this speaks volumes to the vet’s demeanor and approach I think. Dr. Hafer was so patient and informative, really taking the time to explain Amaya’s issues in detail and answer all my questions. The other vets have been great as well- I think we’ve met with or talked to every vet at the practice by now and they’ve all provided the same level of care. The team always works with me to ensure my pup gets the best treatment, and are honest when certain tests aren’t necessary or there’s a cheaper one they can do instead. Sometimes they even let me know where I can find certain medications cheaper than with them. I won’t forget the compassion one of the receptionists showed me one day when I started crying from the emotional and financial stress of such frequent vet visits. Even though it’s a 30-45 minute drive now, I’ll continue taking my dog here because of this kind, caring team of people 💛

Long time client of this VCA for my dogs and cats, never really made time to write a review. I recently had to say goodbye to my dog and am so appreciative of the care, empathy, and patience as I said my final goodbyes. They do a fantastic job and I’ll continue to use them for my other pets and future ones.
