These guys are amazing. They squeezed my cat in same day since she was having UTI symptoms. Dr. Joon Lee really went above and beyond my expectations in caring for my cat, and did so respecting my budget. I highly recommend Central Animal Hospital.

Not sure what to say. Another animal hospital with the receptionist sitting right there in front of the door but it's locked and she wouldn't even bother getting up to come and open and explain my simple question of do they have a recommendation for pet insurance for you said their location. Easy customer gained easy customer lost.

We've brought our cats to Central Animal Hospital from their first kitten appointments to serene old age. The doctors and staff are kind and caring, and give us informed options for tricky cases. For example, they helped us understand our choices for our elderly diabetic cat and taught me to inject insulin, and they quickly treated my injured kitten and followed up while she recovered. Regular appointments and rabies certificates are handled efficiently.

Lowsy service. Rude receptionists. They think they are all important and leave you on hold until you transfer to a voicemail that doesn't exist. Then when you are there waiting to be helped they are rude and ignore everyone they have on hold on the phone and pretend they are all busy doing something else. while i am sitting and watching all this and waiting. loser loser place do not bring your animals here. oh and you want to know what else? I was instructed to bring my cat for a blood draw with no appointment needed. That was what I was told to do. this was to renew her life saving medication

We have been a customer of Central Animal Hospital for many years and we've liked the different doctors and receive generally good care for our pets, but ever since the pandemic they refuse to let customers inside with their pets. It is not practical or customer service friendly to speak to a doctor on the phone about your pet's problem. We don't get proper communication with the vet or the technicians that come to meet us at the car. Even if we're fully vaccinated they still refuse to let us inside. Because of this we are unfortunately looking for a new vet.

I was having difficulty finding an appointment for my wounded cat and Central Animal Hospital got me in as a new patient at short notice. Really really appreciate it. The vet was super nice, no nonsense and was able to diagnose despite my lack of comprehensive explanation. Thank you.

I like Dr. Hedden but the clinic practices can be really frustrating, particularly not doing all of the annual physical stuff at the annual physical. I feel like I really have to stay on top of them, keep my own checklist, and make sure I explicitly make sure everything is being done such as all vaccines, bloodwork, etc. They will send reminders for the fecal sample and exam every single time you come in, so don't get fooled and bring a stool sample every time, because they only want to run the test once a year but they will absolutely run the test & charge you for it every time you

This is my first ever Yelp and I am not happy about doing it. Do not take your Animals here!
My Dog caught a Tick after I gave him the meds they gave me...when I asked to speak to Vet because the girl who answered my calls couldn't answer my questions I was met with ' you had a chance to talk to the Vet at your last appt.' And that's the way it goes. Poorly answered questions, with poor customer service.
I love my Dog, I want some help...i do not wish to argue with a Receptionist over the ohone..
If you want good service, your questions answered and treated with respect

I put off this review for far too long.
I initially picked Central Animal Hospital almost 3 years ago when I moved to the US, and living in Campbell I said this is fine as it was close to me.
The first visit, which was pre COVID, was fine, it was a regular checkup and nothing to report.
When my cat started being sick, it all went downhill. I wont go into specific details of his sickness, but the customer service and lack of respect I have received from this place is uncanny.
They do not care about your pet, not one bit.
They will upsell you on a million tests, promising you quick turn around

Been here a lot with 3 different cats. Want to echo what most others have said: doctors are great, they are kind, helpful, professional, etc. Have not had a vet here that didn't provide a good experience and there are a few of them. The techs I have found to mostly be good too. Front desk by contrast is lacking. They are in this weird state of constant confusion, they often don't seem to know what is going on, they struggle with phone calls (calling here can be painful!) and pet insurance seems like a foreign concept to them. Also it is true that their prices seem high. So our

We have used Central for our dog Jenny for about 10 years. Dr. Stone was very good but has moved to greener pastures. He used to write prescriptions for 6 months. Now that he is gone, Central will only write for 1 month at a time, very inconvenient and extra shipping if ordered on the internet. I realize they don't make any money responding to internet requests but we have used them for 10 years, you would think they would respond to a simple fax!

My dog died a month ago yet Central Animal Hospital has sent me five reminders by email and one today by snail mail that he needs his Rabies shot, sadly reminding me that he died. I called Central Animal Hospital each time letting them know my dog died and please stop sending me reminders that my dead dog needs a shot. It's a reminder over and over that he is gone. They swore up and down they'd fix it, blamed another department three of the times and apologized. Today, the fifth time I got a reminder to give a dead dog a shot, I called Central Animal Hospital.

The staff was friendly and at first you think you're getting good attention.
But the follow through is just not there...
The dr was going to check the records on my dogs growths/tumors to see if they we're getting larger and never came back to discuss. I forgot to ask as my dog was stressed and wanted to go... and I wasn't thinking straight. The dr should be doing all the thinking and "checking off of boxes" for me.
We never were given the results of her glands excretion, I had to ask at the front desk on the way out to speak to whomever had preformed the procedure

We have been taking our pets here for the past 15 years and have been happy with our vet Dr. Hedden. We still are, though the front office and vet techs seem to be clueless. Brought our cat in, the receptionist said they have never seen him before?? Odd we adopted him from them, he's been going there for 10 years, yet she insisted they have never seen him before. I gave some push back and guess what, she found the records. She smiled and said oh yes, we saw him six months ago. Well no kidding, yet she treated me like I was lying.

If I could make my rating higher, I would. We LOVE Central!! Dr. Scott is the absolutely the best veterinarian around. I trust him and his team more than any animal hospital I've ever been to.
We took my doggie Charley in recently for a dental cleaning, which turned into having 11 teeth pulled. My husband and I knew going in that there were going to be some extractions, but we didn't expect 11. I was crying and so nervous that something super bad would happen (I do that. I worry, and then cry about it). Dr Scott called me the MOMENT it was over and gave me a very detailed review of
