I have visited several veterinary clinics with my dogs, and I can confidently say that no professional compares to Dr. Tanaka. His genuine love for his work shines through in the exceptional care he provides to every animal. In loving memory of Sgt. Pepper and with heartfelt gratitude from Penny Lane and Lucy in the Sky—thank you, Dr. Tanaka!

Dr. Tanaka and the entire staff at Santa Fe Animal Clinic are absolutely wonderful. We have taken our two dogs there since we rescued them and we have never had anything short of a wonderful experience. Plus, they are very upfront with costs and will be the first one the say whether or not a particular treatment is absolutely necessary or if it can wait until the next visit. We cannot recommend Santa Fe Animal Clinic enough.

Dr. Tanaka has been a great vet for our two pugs. He has cut back his schedule and we switched over to Dr. Elkayam. She was very thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. She handled our two pugs exceptionally well. The staff has been consistently helpful and polite.

The entire staff at Santa Fe Animal Clinic is warm, caring, helpful, and kind. We have had 4 cats and 5 dogs under their care throughout the years and still use them as our vet despite moving a bit north. We highly recommend them to everyone!
