Veterinarians in San Diego

“My dog received TPLO surgery on both knees within the last 4 months and is doing great. The staff is very professional and understanding. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs to get this surgery“

“My cat, Jack, has been there for boarding. He was very relaxed when I pick him up. He had attention all day, they even put a iPad in his area to watch lizard videos!
These are lovely people!
The vet has answered all my questions and examined Jack. Jack is in good hands!“

“We moved from Washington state and I always look at reviews before I actually pick places or like anytime honestly and this place had no bad reviews compared than some annoying person talking about like a phone answering person like a receptionist based off of like some like scheduling issue so I wasn’t gonna base that off of my perspective so I looked at every single review. I swear to God and I chose this vet specifically off of all the reviews and I’m so glad because he’s amazing. He’s very smart and knowledgeable and, I feel that my dog is safe in his hands and I highly recommend him. I have a French bulldog and he’s been in there for surgery and he’s gonna be in there for an ultrasound and I feel very safe and comfortable with this doctor so if that’s what you’re looking for you should definitely schedule with him because I did a lot of research and this is who I thought was very safe and knowledgeable for my dog and I have a French bulldog I feel very comfortable with my dog going under knowing that there’s a slight chance they may not wake up because they breathing problems I know this vet cares so much he’s great“

“Very professional, excellent customer service.
Wort the 3 hours drive from home . Going back as much as my pets needed. Definitely recommend“

“Great local vet on the coastal slope that provides reasonable care. Always easy to get ahold of and is a great place to pick up prescriptions and/or get jabs for your pets. Staff is friendly and helpful.“

“I had a great experience at Del Norte Animal Hospital. I called on a Sunday and they were able to see me right away. My pup is feeling so much better and I am so grateful that the whole process went smoothly and I didn’t have to wait too long in the lobby to be seen. Bonus, they have treats for humans and doggies too. ?“

“Doctor is friendly, knowledgeable, great with my older dog. She's conservative in what she recommends and my best ever Vet!
The staff are just so welcoming and make you feel happy to be there. They get a 5-star as well!!!“

“Even if you don’t read this whole review, trust, if you are looking for the BEST vet for your pet where they will be treated like a VIP (very important pet), receive the most comprehensive, compassionate care, & exceptional service (which of course all animals deserve only the very best), I HIGHLY recommend CoastView.
My 14-year-old Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher, Pawparazzi, has struggled with severe skin issues since June (hair loss, flaky skin, bacterial infection). Our previous vet was fine for routine care, but we saw no progress with these more complex issues. I found CoastView through a Facebook group, & the experience has been amazing. Being a senior dog with health concerns, the idea of a “fear-free” clinic was appealing. My husband was initially skeptical, but even he’s been impressed.
We've had two visits so far, both have been fantastic. Our vet tech, Star, is INCREDIBLE! Dr. Caitie is also AMAZING! They handle Paw with immense compassion, making sure he’s comfortable every step of the way. Star is not only kind to us but to Paw, thoroughly preparing us for Dr. Caitie, helping us communicate our concerns, & clearly explaining Paw’s meds & care tips. She’s friendly, warm, & a pleasure to work with, putting both Paw & us at ease.
Dr. Caitie is so intelligent, kind, & patient, answering every question we have. Her exams are thorough—she checks every detail, takes photos to track progress, & offers a range of treatment options that fit our budget. We always leave with a clear understanding of costs & treatment plans—no surprises. Dr. Caitie has provided symptom relief & preventive measures while we search for the root of Paw's issues.
Both Star & Dr. Caitie make us feel valued, never rushed, & we never feel like unnecessary treatments are pushed. They are knowledgeable, competent, & ethical—qualities that are reassuring when dealing with complex issues. Prices are also reasonable; it doesn’t cost much more than our previous vet, Dr. Caitie & Star also provided resources for financial support.
With our previous vet, we often left feeling uncertain. At CoastView, we leave confident that Paw is on the road to recovery & that there’s a solid plan moving forward.

For anyone curious about a “fear-free” clinic, CoastView’s approach makes a difference:
Separate entrances/waiting rooms for cats & dogs
Free bandanas with calming pheromone spray
Scales on the floor with towels for comfort
Scent diffusers in exam rooms
Towel-covered exam tables for warmth & comfort
Every treatment is done with us in the exam room, easing Paw's anxiety
Small breaks between procedures to avoid overwhelming him
An extra level of care, warmth, & kindness in all interactions with Paw during exams, testing, & treatments
Patience in explaining everything thoroughly & answering all questions to the fullest, so we never feel confused or concerned about his care
Prioritization of treatments & procedures to reduce stress & include preventive measures to avoid further complications
Peanut butter rewards after uncomfortable treatments—simple but helpful!

Communication outside of visits is excellent. We receive appointment reminders, & Dr. Caitie follows up with detailed care plans & cost estimates. After our first visit, I even received a check-in email about Paw’s progress, with encouragement to reach out anytime before his next appointment.
As someone who’s been worried about their pet for months, the relief we’ve felt since switching to CoastView is immense. We’re thankful to have found a place where Paw is truly in good hands & on a hopeful path toward recovery. When your pet faces complex issues, it’s frustrating & heartbreaking to feel helpless. Now, we finally have hope that Paw will regain quality of life, & we’re grateful to the CoastView “

“Lilly loves ❤️ Dr. Stokking!! She's the best dermatologist!! Lilly has seen Dr. Stokking since she was a puppy and had dermatitis.“

“We love ABC Veterinary Hospital in PB and they take such good care of our little furbaby. We've had bad experiences with other places but have finally found 'our vet' in SD.“

“We’ve been coming here for over 10 years with 4 different dogs and have always had good, caring service. Highly recommend Dr. Harjot and the whole team.“

“Dawn was so amazing in helping us through one of the toughest decisions we had to make with our sweet Marley. From the moment she arrived there was a peacefulness to her manner and demeanor. She took her time, prepared us for what to expect and let us take our time throughout the process. She was so gentle and caring through the process. When it was all said and done we felt at peace! I cannot say enough good things about our experience and highly recommend her and her professionalism and gentleness. If I could give her 10 ⭐️’s we would! Thank you Dawn for helping us through such a difficult time! Sincerely, Leslie & Steve Atwood
❤️?❤️“

“My dog has been a patient for about a year or two, mostly just for annual checkups and vaccines However, she was recently experiencing some symptoms that I wanted checked out ASAP. I called in the morning and they were able to squeeze me in same day. I know I was lucky with that, but I was so appreciative that they could get us in so quickly. Everyone that I saw was friendly and really sweet to my vet-anxious dog. They were able to take her in the back and get her taken care of promptly, and my dog was feeling better by the time she left the office. An extra plus - my bill was also less than I had anticipated. Very thankful for this office!“

“I really got the impression that the staff cared about my kitty and were very kind to my scared boy“

“We took our very anxious 11 year old maltipoo here and we're so happy with the staff . From the first phone call scheduling his first appointment with them I felt reassured. The vet came in and sat on the floor with him for quite some time to get him more comfortable with her and both her and the technician took time to get to know him and put us at ease . Our pup needed to have his teeth cleaned and ended up getting 4 teeth pulled. They outlined the procedure thoroughly and gave us costs before hand . On the day of his surgery they were so kind and understanding. I am so happy to have found them!“

“Dr. Berk is the best vet we ever had. He really cares about the animals. He takes good care of them with compassion. He would never subject any pet to an unnecessary procedure. The clinic is well run, organized.“

“Whether you make a phone call or walk through the front door it's immediately evident that everyone at RSCPC is there to help your furry friend. The staff at the front desk, the doctors, the techs and everyone behind the scenes truly work to give my dogs the best care. They take the time to explain everything I need to know about procedures and medications - and they make a point of getting to know my dogs' specific personalities and needs. Thank you Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic!“

“Great place to bring your Pets. Docter is great and staff is amazing. Clean office too. Very compassionate. We found our new Vet for sure. Thanks for helping Milo and Apollo get better!“

“I had the BEST experience on the phone with Andres. He was so help from beginning to end of the phone call. very informative and knowledgeable about all the questions I had!“

“Very professional and kind staff.
The veterinarian was very professional, very caring and considerate and she took extra time to explain everything to us about our dogs
A huge thank you to the doctor and to all of the staff at the Harmony Animal hospital.“

“Amazing staff, very compassionate and sweet, and smart and thorough! They know all the right ways to comfort your pet during a vet visit, and they’re a talented team! Highly recommended going here for quality pet care!“

“HOLY. CRAP.

I CANNOT say enough thanks or positivity to Barbara, Mark, and Aimee at SNUG sorrento!!!

I came into Snug in CRISIS! A dog sitting turned horrible, Jack ran away from me and fell into a canyon. After being rudely turned away by Petsmart La Jolla and given mixed information, I found Snug.

They rushed him in, immediately boarded him and gave him vet care right away! They were all increadibly kind, dedicated, and pretty!!

Thank you again for saving our lives today!“

“At first I was hesitant to try this place out because its a lot more affordable than what vets will quote you, but I assure you they're great! They had my dog out in under 30 min and he didn't need sedation or extractions. My dog doesnt usually do well to strangers touching his mouth or having the sounds of dental tools near him so I was almost sure he needed to be sedated but he was good this time! I'd definitely come back to this place for another cleaning“

“I wasn't able to get in for the same day appointment, but I do want to comment on how kind and helping the staff were over the phone. I will definitely consider them in the future for my dogs.“

“Beware of added exam added to just shots. I made an appointment as a shot clinic, did not need a brief exam but that was already added in. Cost was more than the shot itself.“
