Hudzik Shannon DVM

I hate writing bad reviews, and I am always willing to edit/remove a poor review if things change... So, this is what happened. After years of being a very loyal client with multiple pets, having spent thousands of dollars at this office (even knowing they were pricey), yesterday, I went to drop off my dog's pee and poop sample for testing to complete a "package deal" (whoopee), I was told I was too late... It should have been submitted Dec 16th. Had no clue. What's worse - I waited over four weeks - with no word on my dogs test results, before calling the office to get them. And even then, it wasn't Dr. Shannon, it was someone else. Had they done so - had they called me when they received the results, perhaps they could have reminded me of the time limit on submitting the other samples. Nope. No reminder. So now, I would have to pay full price... But what about the near-$200.00 I already paid for tests that were never performed? Nope. Then, how about a reimbursement? Nope. I asked for them to reconsider. Dr. Shannon was there - I can only assume she knew what was going on. Nope. Later, when I called to have all of my pets' records transferred to another veterinary office, there were no apologies or conciliatory offerings - nothing. Nada. Bye bye. (very disappointing)

I was in need of a new vet for my four pets-three cats and a very old Dachshund. I chose Carmel Holistic because they are a full service animal hospital with boarding facilities and was very convenient. Dr Shannon has seen all of my precious pets and provided excellent care at the highest level. I find Dr. Shannon to be a caring, intelligent and thoughtful veterinarian. The facilities here are very clean and the supporting staff is dedicated and devoted to their patients. Dr. Shannon came in on her Sunday off just to give treatment to our cat Lio. We are very grateful for Carmel Holistic and highly recommend.

They tended to my older small dog and when she Developed gastric issues that was beyond their care they sent me to a specialist rather than trying to go over their testing ability. You may trust them. I now live in Paso Robles really miss them
