University of California Veterinary Medical Center - San Diego

Dr. Orvalho and the Ashley( vet tech) were great. Super informative and kind. They definitely helped put my anxious mind at ease! The news was a mixture of good and bad but I feel my dog was in good hands and well looked out for :)

This place is AMAZING. We had been once before when my boy fell out of bed and lost a nail, they were great that time but last night - omg - gold standard of care. My boy Bruce and I were attacked by an off-leash dog and they got us on the list to be seen immediately, pulled up our file without any prompting (phone number), and saw him so quick. He ultimately did not need treatment, just a few scrapes that looked worse before the shave, and they were SO FAIR and SO KIND. The attack was one of the worst things I've been through and the way they cared for us (I was more upset than Bruce)made it clear these are the type of people you want on your team when stuff like this happens. I already recommended them to everyone, but I will be singing their praises until the end of time.

I love this place. Dr Chandrakumar is very good and I am so happy to have him treating my dog. He communicates with me and I really appreciate this. This hospital puts your mind at ease. They treated my dog so well she never has anxiety when she needs her blood drawn. I will always bring my dog here in the future!

Highly recommend their cardiology team. The entire team has been so kind and on top of our dog's care. The front desk and scheduling team, especially Ashley and Libby always follow through and have been so kind and patient. Dr. Hodge is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and informative. We are so grateful our vet referred us to them to care for our pup. We have felt like we are in great hands.

This vet center has been a wonderful experience in an often difficult circumstance. My cat has been experiencing heart failure, and first and foremost, this hospital has provided excellent care, communication and service. Everyone is so nice and easy to work with. The front desk staff are always so upbeat and helpful, the pharmacist is an absolute pleasure to work with and is very capable and kind and Dr. Orvalho is just wonderful. He takes the time to fully explain everything, walk through options and suggestions and he cares about how the animals is actually feeling, behaving and living and takes all of that into account rather than just looking at the numbers and facts alone. He is clearly very good at what he does, but he doesn't talk down at all - he allows you to feel that you are making a decision together. I'm so lucky I found this place and continue to be a happy client!
