Dr Maldonado is an exceptional vet. She cares. She follows up with in person calls, takes her time with my pup and her manner is very kind. I refer anyone I can think of who may need a vet to this spot. Great work folks.

the vets are good. I like Dr Hook. however, on the day of my dog's neuter after the dog had a pre op and was in their care, there is a $433 extra charge never previously mentioned even though I had expressly asked if there were extra fees. When I complained, they refused to do the neuter. very unprofessional. I was a customer of theirs for 10 years, brought 5 dogs there, referred many. always paid my bills immediately. My advice: get everything in writing. never complain. tell them how wonderful they are no matter what. The vets, themselves, are fine. remember: they are always right. you just bow and thank them while handing over your CC. They are fragile.

I'm very happy that I was able to find Dr. Wood my dog & cat's previous veterinarian from another office! He's great, honest and caring. The facility is warm and friendly which is a huge plus for me. They have an ER care and, I believe, an ophthalmologist's facility too, a one-stop convenience! Everyone is professional and kind. Having to move and live in an unfamiliar area was very concerning for my fur baby's well-being. Here's the best part Monterey Animal is approximately 5 minutes away, at the most, if there were no lights and emergency (I hope this will never be a day to experience)... I'm happy, happy!

Monterey Animal Clinic has been so good to our dog and us since we moved here in 2015 through to the final days of our dog's life in 2023. Dr. Hooks found her hundreds of stones and gave us a plan and Dr. Stinman removed them. We continued to see Dr. Stinman and he helped us provide the best care for her after as well as whatever issues arose as she aged. Finally, Dr. Wood discovered her terminal cancer and helped us provide her the best palliative care we could right up to her final day. He always returned my calls and was quick in response. In the wake of her loss, we feel comforted knowing we did everything we could for her until the end. As a family of Monterey Animal Clinic, we have always felt cared for and that they cared a great deal about our sweet dog. We have never felt nickeled-and-dimed. We have always been provided several options and recommendations, leaving us feeling guided, not pressured, and we felt supported in our final decisions. We would definitely use Monterey Animal Clinic again and recommend them as a wonderful place to take and care for your pet.

The front office staff and the vets are exceptional. The wait is never long, the ladies at the front desk are so helpful, and our boys never mind going to see Dr. Woods. They also don't charge you 1,000 dollars for a shot and are reasonable.

Started going there after Dr Wood saved my pugs life. At his other location. He had pancreatitis and was in bad shape. Took 5 days and that was 2 years ago! The entire office is kind and great to deal with. Brought my new pup there when I rescued her for a work up. Professional and kind

Not impressed after Dr Giovondo left. A male vet walks in starts handling my dog with out saying who he was. I asked who he was he says oh I'm Dr Stinson didn't say much after that. On another visit when my dog was bitten a female vet was obsessed with putting a drain in his neck. I didn't want him staying overnight,put to sleep for a drain in his neck for approximately week or 2. I asked for alternative. She said she'd put him on surgical schedule , if I wanted to take him home with antibiotics to get his hematoma down by Monday or have surgery. I said we'll go home with antibiotics. In 3 days I got hematoma done with out surgery & a huge bill & no drain in his neck.

Dr. Maldonado is honestly the greatest vet. I’ve gone to her for years and will never leave. She’s kind, caring, compassionate, she’s realistic and reasonable with her charging, she never runs excessive tests or proceedures, she’s a vet for the animals, not the money. When I had to put my dog down she held him with me and cried with me and was so kind. If you’re looking for a great vet, look no further.

Best and most personalized care, for very reasonable rates, that my dog and I have ever experienced! Dr. Maldonado and all of the techs are incredibly gracious, understanding, and skilled at making everyone feel comfortable and confident, especially during this season of social distancing. I highly recommend this clinic!

Terrific experience everytime Your staff is really terrific as is my awesome Dr Maldonado. Everyone is always so cheerful and kind to all of my pups and I am so very grateful that you all are doing what you can in this pandemic era, coming out into the Florida heat that's coming off of that blacktop parking lot to get my pups while I sit in my air-conditioned car. What could be better?

Just came here for a second opinion and everyone was absolutely wonderful. They have a nice office, are very professional, and extremely helpful. I would absolutely come here again with my pets.

Called on a Weds with a cat with a bad leg/in pain. They scheduled me for Friday at 5. I should have known... When I came in they had me sign a contract and took a copy of my driver's license. Kinda like they have had a lot of credit disputes and this covers them... When the vet walked in I could tell by his demeanor this wasn't going to end well. He asked if I wanted an estimate, then said $400. To xray my cats leg. Leave now you're saying, right? Well first my 9 year old is standing there and now I owe them about $100 for weighing the cat and taking it's temp. Kinda stuck, right? Signed a contract... And it's after 5 on a Friday. I did the math on these guys. 4 "Drs" each working one or 2 days a week. $400 x @ a conservative 4 pets per hour = $1600 per hour. X an 8 hr day that's $12,800 PER DAY! Now that is conservative mind you. They wanted an extra $1300 + + + for a 90 min procedure... It's your money, I prefer to spend mine with someone honest. I'm so glad I could compensate the vet over $400 for 15 mins of his precious time. Call it what it is. A thief is a thief If I save one person a financial beating it was worth the time to post this

I have been going to Montetey Animal Clinic for a few years and Dr. Hooks is wonderful. But lately it seems that every time I go their main concern is charging you as much as they possibly can. It is out of control. I will not be going there any more.

We LOVE Dr. Maldonado! She truly cares about animals. She saw us with no notice and saved the kitten we had found. Our vet we used to use couldn't fit us in, but, Dr. Maldonado did. We are thankful that our old vet couldn't fit us in because we are so happy to have found Dr. Maldonado. We are switching all of our animals over to Dr. Maldonado. Thank you Dr. Maldonado!
