Dealing with some infection issues and we are scared with our geriatric kitty. Staff was so kind and walked us through everything. Still waiting on results but they have made sure to keep our boy comfortable in the meantime. Thank you.

I talked to a person here and she was uncooperative ?

Not recommended under any circumstances. I was caring for friends’ cats while they were out of the country and unreachable. Despite the cats being long-time patients of this veterinarian, they refused to see one of the cats who was sick because I wasn’t the owner. When I mentioned taking the cat to another veterinarian and claiming it as mine, they warned me it would be considered fraud. I look forward to meeting the judge who prosecutes me for helping an animal in need.

I have been taking both my dogs Luna and Leo to Center Vet for quite some time and I am so happy with the care my dog Luna received for her dental cleaning. I was very worried about having her dental procedure done because she had to go under anesthesia but center vet updated me multiple times and kept me in the loop the whole time. There were no surprise charges and the doctor who performed the cleaning did so well. Luna’s teeth has never looked this good and I am so thankful to everyone at center vet.

Was able to get an appointment quick through Urgent Care. The care and follow up has been great with our new puppy. We've used Center Vet for the past 12 years with our 2 dogs that recently passed. All the Vets, staff, techs, and groomer Michelle are wonderful! We love Center Vet!

The facility was bright and clean and comfortable. I appreciated the separation of dogs and cats in the waiting area. Every staff member was smiling, friendly, knowledgeable and gentle with my kitty cat.

When my cat got sick and I had to take her in, everyone at the clinic was so kind! They went above and beyond in order to make her (and me) feel better. I have never felt judged when they quote me treatment options and I have to choose the cheaper option.

I think I might be done with this place. Got a notice in the mail from the humane society that said that my dog’s legally required license was expiring and she needed an updated rabies vaccine, so I made an appointment here which automatically got canceled a few days later because they need a physical annual exam done (around $80). Annoying, but it’s their policy and a good thing to get done since I haven’t had one done on my dog in a while, so I rescheduled. That’s all taken care of and good, then the day of the appointment I take my dog in and she has bad anxiety in veterinary hospitals (which is usual).
I had remembered that the last time I took her that she urinated out of stress, so I told the doctor and then a few minutes later she actually did. He then condescendingly tells me that when dogs have anxiety they are supposed to be given anxiety medications before they go to the vet. I’m sorry Mr. PHD in Veterinary Sciences, but I legit didn’t know that anti-anxiety medications for dogs were a thing or that I was required to give them to my dog before a veterinary visit. Later he tells me that he recommends getting some labs and fecal tests and other vaccines done since they haven’t seen my dog in a while and want a better picture of my dog’s health. He said that my dog’s past vaccines (which I had done at a different veterinary hospital) were expired and not in their records and that they had to be done again which I didn’t know about.
The doctor leaves and then a few minutes later a staff member comes in to discuss pricing. She says everything about getting fecal tests, labs, and all these other vaccines in addition to the Rabies vaccine and annual physical exam I came for and then quotes me $600+ and makes some sarcastic remark about how people that care about their dog’s health will choose this option (Implying that I don’t) or I can just pay for the two things I came in for (around $100-$150 which I was expecting). I tell her that I need to just do the things I came in for and that I would just get the other vaccines done another time. I did this since I wasn’t expecting all of the other information and can’t just unexpectedly drop over half a grand on the fly like the doctor and a lot of his customers can on a non-emergency. Instead of just respecting my decision, she asks me if I take my dog to dog parks and beaches. I don’t, but my friend picks my dog up and takes her about 2-3 times a month with his dogs. The staff member’s tone then changes and she starts to have an attitude with me and say that I’m putting my dog and other dogs at risk, etc. I’m sorry my bad, but again until a few minutes earlier I didn’t know that some of these vaccines were annual or supposed to be done every three years. No need to treat me like I’m the devil, you could have just told me it’s a good idea to keep her away from those places until I get the vaccines done. I thought all of those vaccines were only done once or twice in a dog’s lifetime with the exception of the Rabies vaccine. I thought I had already gotten everything done. I’m not against vaccinating my dog or anything, I just was not educated enough on the matter. I’m probably going to get the 3 or 4 other vaccines they mentioned done for her within the next few months, but I just can’t do it right now (for financial reasons). I definitely won’t get them done here, I don’t appreciate being talked to like that. I have enough of that from some people at my work, I don’t need it from the veterinary center too.

Center veterinary clinic in Mira Mesa is really a gem. Everyone who works there seems happy and glad to be working there, which makes the atmosphere friendly and welcoming. The vets are knowledgeable and the vet techs are great. My Cat has always received Good care there. It’s also super helpful that they have long hours so that people who are working can visit outside of work hours.

I brought my dog in last year as an urgent care patient, because he had labored breathing and very pale gums. The team was SO nice and completed bloodwork and a chest X-ray. After bloodwork, it became clear that something was wrong and then the vet confirmed that he had internal bleeding. X-rays confirmed several tumors in his chest cavity. I was told that we should “consider euthanasia within the week”, and was given steroids for him. The vet said “this should make him feel really good for a few days until you can make a plan for him”. I ended up being there after close, so maybe that’s why, but the vet NEVER even mentioned that it could be a possibility for him to die that night. The way she said everything made it sound like he had some time. I know that vets can’t know when a dog will die, but as he continued to get worse throughout the night, I ended up calling around other ER’s and 4 vet techs that I talked to said that once labored breathing and internal bleeding start, the dog is dying. Once we were told this, we tried to bring him in to be euthanized, but he ended up dying on our bedroom floor. He died in extreme pain, coughing up blood 4 hours after we left urgent care. We were so heartbroken. If the vet had just told me “he could last a few days, but at this stage he could also go tonight”, I would have taken him right to the ER to be put to sleep peacefully. I was and am still LIVID with the prognosis from the vet. I truly feel like I was just pushed out since the clinic was closed and they didn’t want me to stick around to ask too many questions. I would never return here. Please consider giving the animals family the realistic possibilities when talking about next steps with them. Like I said I know she could not have known 100%, but she never even mentioned that death that night was POSSIBLE, and every other professional that I talked to was baffled. My own vet called me after the weekend to check in and she was appalled to hear what happened. She even said that with those symptoms she would have talked about euthanasia that night when I asked for her input.
