Born and raised outside Albuquerque, New Mexico, Dr. Mark Anderson received his veterinary degree from Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. Prior to attending veterinary school, however, Dr. Anderson received his Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado State University.
Bernardo Heights Veterinary Hospital is proud to be an AAFP certified Cat Friendly Practice. It can be stressful for both you and your cat to visit the veterinarian. The veterinary visit starts before you even arrive at the veterinary clinic with trying to get your cat in the carrier and the car ride to the practice.
Bernardo Heights Veterinary Hospital is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) - a distinction that only 12-15% of all animal hospitals in the US and Canada carry!
This means that we regularly pass rigorous on-site inspections and comprehensive evaluations consisting of approximately 900 standards in 19 categories that assess veterinary knowledge, equipment, practice protocols, patient and facility safety, and other key areas of pet health care.Our accreditation is a symbol of our commitment to providing the highest standard of patient care and client service.

Pet insurance pays, partly or in total, for veterinary treatment of the insured person's ill or injured pet. Some policies will pay out when the pet dies, or if it is lost or stolen. As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pets' health care and standard of living than previously, the market for pet insurance has increased.
Please call us at (858) 485-9111 if you have an emergency, and we will do our best to help you through this frightening and stressful time. Emergencies can be a terrible experience for pets and pet owners, so we promise to communicate with you and make the process less stressful. We also offer emergency surgery as well as critical care.

Definitely a positive experience. Dr Abrams was highly recommended by my neighbor. I have also seen Dr Rica Roberto, D.V.M. Since I was not allowed to enter the first visit due to Covid restrictions & waiting in the parking lot my adopted pet was nervous. Both that visit & the second went well. I highly recommend their caring front office staff & excellent care from the doctors.

Bernardo Heights Vet Hospital is great! They are always so friendly and accommodating as much as they can. We have been taking our dog there for 7 years and even at their busiest, they do their best to see our dog on a same day appointment. I trust they will take care of my dog.

Dr. Roberto is an amazing doctor and really understands our dogs' needs. The staff are accommodating to our dog that has anxiety and allows him to be with his sister which helps him be more cooperative. Prices are also very competitive, and they've made room for us last minute multiple times which has prevented us from having to visit the emergency vet. Highly recommended to all to our family and friends with pets.

Drove 70 miles one way to have tplo surgery on both legs of my dog here. They had everyone beat on price, service was great and surgeries were a success. My dog is running and jumping again like nothing happened. Had lots of follow up consultations with the doctor after surgery. It seemed like they really cared about my dogs well being. If it wasn't so far from my house this would be my regular vet.

I've been with Bernardo Heights Vet for nearly 7 years now, since my shelter kitten came home with worms and a respiratory infection. They've never failed to get an appointment time for me and gave extremely good care for my cat. She's never really came back traumatized (compared to visiting another vet in a different town during a trip) by the doctor and techs, and they've always explained the procedures well.
I have since moved much, much further from this location but I continue to take the long drive for their services. Switching to new vets is hard, but finding good ones that works with you

I am so happy that I switched over to Bernardo Heights! One of my dogs needed TPLO surgery and the staff and all of the doctors have been amazing . Dr Frankel performed the surgery and Belle is like a new dog on that leg.
I’ve taken my other two dogs in also and we are so impressed with the staff and the doctors. Dr. Anderson really explains everything thoroughly and we couldn’t be happier.
