Veterinarians in San Marcos, CA

“The 24 hr emergency hospital we first took our injured cat to gave us a stark choice: $20k in specialty care or euthanize. We wanted a 2nd opinion and we’re referred to East and West. They got us in right away and, after examining our cat, Dr. K offered a very different assessment and care plan. In just a few days our cat was healing well and getting back to his old self.”

“I’ve been using Discovery Valley for several years now and drive out of my way to use them. I started using them when my dog needed to get his teeth cleaned. I called them on a whim and made an appointment because they were the only clinic around that I felt wasn’t going to charge me an arm and a leg. I’m from Texas and after learning that Dr. Young is too and went to Texas A&M (often regarded as the best vet school in Texas), I decided to keep using them as my dog’s vet despite having to travel 30-45 minutes each way. Recently, my dog passed away and they were so great though out the entire process. Dr. Young was on vacation and this was my first time interacting with the other vet at the clinic, Dr. Laemmle. It was clear how much she cared. Losing a pet is so hard and she and the entire staff at Discovery Valley were so great and sweet to my boy Kramer on his last day. They are fair on pricing, their new facility is so nice, and they clearly know what they are doing. I couldn’t recommend them more!”

“The staff was very friendly and made her first visit a good one. The Dr was great and the vet assistants that gave her her shots were sweet and helped keep her calm. I would definitely recommend this vet office. Thank you!”

“Our doberman Lilith had a visit with Dr. Massey and Anthony who assisted. Wow, were we blessed! Dr. Massey is absolutely amazing. Dr. Massey is patient, gracious and kind. What an invaluable member to his profession. Anthony was so helpful, gracious and essential piece of the puzzle.”

“They were wonderful. I did not have an appointment but my dog was having a medical condition and they let me drop her off. Dr. Meyers contact me within an hour and a half to give me her initial diagnosis.”

“We have been happy clients of Dr. Weinberg/Twin Oaks Animal Hospital for more than five years now. We think she's the best vet we've ever been lucky enough to have. This isn't some terrible chain clinic where the main thing vets are taught is how to pad the bill (and there are lots of those out there). Her personal attention to detail and her dedicated staff offer the best care possible for our dog. I simply cannot recommend he highly enough. And I do so all the time.”

“Good place to go if your regular vet is closed. They are expensive but they will show you a price range for your services and you can opt out of the ones you feel are not necessary or too expensive for you. I recommend them”

“I can’t recommend Dr Ichord enough - he’s kind, honest, and always recommends the most cost effective treatment options. We bring our 2 dogs to him, my parents have been seeing him with their dog for years, and I recently found out two of my friends also see Dr Ichord for their pets. I always feel confident I’m getting the best care for my dogs at a fair price.”

“Dr. Strip has been fantastic helping my mule with his allergies. She is very responsive and has taken a lot of time to get to know my mule and donkey. I highly recommend this vet!”
