We needed a new local vet after our vet in Novato retired. Our aging cat had been diagnosed as being diabetic and we needed to follow up on that. We were very pleased with the gentle, informed, caring atmosphere we found. The office, the techs and the vets are all top notch which is high praise coming from my wife whose brother is a retired veterinarian.

New to the area, i had tried one vet clinic but wasn't thrilled with the cold detached after consult from the vet/owner so looked further for another vet to see my cat. I read many reviews but Washington Square caught my eye and I made an appt with Dr. Boutilier who happened to have the first appt open. To say I was impressed and immediately connected by her warmth and manner of relaying information is putting things mildly! She was very honest with me and didn't go ordering a bunch of tests..she referred the allergy symptoms to a dermatology vet to narrow down what was causing the iching/licking problems. She easily could have had me come back for all kinds of tests but knew the dermatology vet could probably get there quicker. She sees dog allergies on a daily basis but cat allergies are not that common. (this is not to say she wouldn't have eventually helped the allergy in my cat; she just wanted the fastest result by referring). She is still my cat's vet for all other issues and i feel so lucky i found this clinic. While my bond is definitely with Dr. B, I would see any of the other vets in the office if necessary.

Dr. Zweiter is amazing. When we brought our dogs for their first visit, she really talked us through our options for a few things - never upselling and always trusting us as the dog parents to make the call. She checked in regularly to see if what we were trying worked. One of our dogs ended up with a horrible quickly progressing illness and Dr. Zweiter worked with us and what we wanted for our pup to ensure that we felt we had done everything but not too much so our dog was unhappy in her last days. She consulted with experts about our case and dug into the most recent research. The care she provided to us in our dogs last few weeks of life was impeccable (and her soft caring voice always made me cry). So grateful for the care we received, the lack of guilt for making hard choices, and the humanity we experienced while caring for our pup.
