I called to have my pet looked at, I was told that there was no opening and if there was I could show up @8;30 or just call, so I decided to show up @ 8;30 instead after they refused to see my dog and told me as I did not call they could not help me, that's not what she told me over the phone and was extremely rude yeah the blonde with the long hair when I showed up at the clinic she did not offer any options or asked if it was an emergency or if they could try and fit her in as soon as possible no option was given, never will I ever take my pet to that racist place again. That is how I felt when I left the clinic, totally discriminated against. You don't deserve a star period.

I'm very picky with where I take my dog, because I know some places like to overcharge or are unprofessional but Dr Gower was amazing! My dog has been having pains and I called the animal clinic for the first time and the owner was very friendly and a good listener, he asks questions, and did a very thorough and detailed examination on my dog and takes a lot of notes aswell. He was nice enough to give me a discount, and the medicine he prescribed my dog has been helping! He even called the next day for a checkup to see how she was doing. I felt comfortable with my dog is his hands. The clinic itself is very small and crammed, and he is the only person working at this place but he did an amazing job. I will definitely go back in the future if I need to get any more checkups on my dog!

So kind and made us feel very comfortable. He went above and beyond to care for our pups Jade and Thor. They even received stickers on their charts for being so good! Can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Dr. Gower!Joaquin & Jazmine Arias

I can’t give zero stars so I will go with One what they did to my dog when I brought him there after his heart attack was disgusting. He was so busy with his upstairs client. He left me sitting there downstairs in the basement with my dog ready to pass and nothing to help him he was trying to get up. I was hysterical crying to top it all off the stupid receptionist comes down the stairs and wants the money from me here I am for my dog and crying and she’s worried about the stupid money. I have to pass her anyway to get out of the place. I will never go back there. He ripped off my boyfriend who is a contractor as well. He decided he wasn’t paying any more money because he felt that job was too much after he signed a contract for it, not to mention he’s been thrown out of science, diet or pet for taking food and illegally selling Not to mention, my friend was in a jam and wanted to get rabies shots for his dogs. He decided that they needed complete bloodwork and everything charged him over $1200 to get three dog shots. It was ridiculous. apparently somebody else had bad experiences. There’s post is all over OCEANSIDE to beware.

DO NOT GO TO WOODS AVENUE ANIMAL CLINIC I had to take my dog there because Island Park was closed for the holiday. Dr Gower charged $150 for the visit and for shots that my dog did not need that came to $405. I read reviews after,which I regret doing and I see it's something he does a lot. Read the terrible reviews about what he has done to people and animals. The pictures he posts are misleading the place is dirty and unorganized. I hope to save someone else from being ripped off and possibly harming their pet. Gower is a terrible person and vet. I will try to contact others to try and stop him from taking advantage of people and giving unnecessary medications. HE IS A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING.

Dr. Gower is very shady. You will get charged a different price each time for the same services and he will constantly try to get you to pay for more services. He gave my dog a treatment that I specifically told him I didn’t want and then charged me for it. After I disputed the charge he doubled down. Stay away from this place!!

Deserves zero stars. My cat was in bad shape. Doc tries to extract some urine from him, cat dies. Since he drew the blood already....he "had" to send it off. Ridiculous. 900 dollar bill and a dead cat. Price gouger, lousy vet. One of my neighbors just had a lousy experience with this clown.

I would be lost without them. They are always kind and helpful. I've used other vets and non compare to them. They are my heroes for my furabies.

If you love your pet, do not go there! This hospital will overcharge you for services. They forced unnecessary medications for my dog onto the bill. My dog didnt feel better after the visit with Dr. Gower's but instead felt worst. Never went back nor would I ever .. I found a nicer and better doctor who helped my dog.

Rocco went over the rainbow bridge in the most dignified way. Thank you for helping us through this. He was so loved and we will miss him terribly
