Dermatology for Animals - San Diego

Dr. Aniya and her team are literally the best. Before we took my dog to their office, my dog had terrible allergies and was so miserable despite us trying multiple medications and vet opinions. I was in a hopeless situation, (medically and Financially as his bills started to pile up), and extremely stressed out. Dr. Aniya is the only doctor we felt truly cared about our pet, and his skin and quality of life have improved immensely since being under her care. The office keep great notes/ records, and you are always picking up where you left off, so time is never wasted. The vet assistants and phone operators are amazing as well. They have been a life saver, and I truly can’t thank them enough. Here is our baby before and after:

Took my cat to Dermatology for Animals in La Mesa for a possible ear polyp. Firstly, Vet tech injured his good ear during exam. Dr was apologetic and we were not charged any money for that exam. Dr ended up recommending and scheduled surgery to remove excess skin/flap on his other ear to make it easier to clean and prevent future infections…at a cost of between $1800 and $2800 dollars. Took cat for a second opinion and no surgery was suggested or necessary. Saved a lot of money but more importantly, my cat did not have to be subjected to an unnecessary surgical procedure.

Very nice staff, Doctor, Assistant, Front desk are all very nice. They just seemed overwhelmed and there is not enough capacity there. They are often very busy, phone calls, people in lobbies, lots of follow up servicing, and when I call.. It can be really challenging to get through... Which makes a big difference. It's been a huge inconvenience and process to get certain things accomplished.

Dr. Aniya and her staff are excellent. She is an experienced and well-trained animal dermatologist, and although it might take a little time to get the initial appointment with her - especially as there are so few specialists in SD - it's definitely worth the wait. She's a very good diagnostician (half of the battle with pets) and her treatment recommendations have been enormously helpful for my cat, who suffers from severe environmental allergies. She is also responsive, and seems to care deeply about her four-legged patients. Update: Dr. Aniya's expert care has saved my cat. His condition was so acute that I was afraid he would never be ok, but she managed to get him stable enough to start the immunotherapy. Truly an amazing and caring vet. Her vet tech Erica is also phenomenal.

My cat and I have been clients of Dr. Aniya for approximately 5 months. Dr. Aniya is knowledgeable and kind. She has a lot of experience working with animals that suffer from allergies. Also, she has been really good about calling and updating me. I can tell Dr. Aniya cares about my cat and wants the cat to get better. Regarding Dr. Aniya's staff, they've always been kind and patient with me. Inside, the clinic is clean and orderly. Whenever I've needed an appointment, I've been able to get one within a reasonable amount of time. I trust Dr. Aniya and her team with my cat and recommend Dr. Aniya to anyone whose pet is also suffering from dermatology complications.
