I needed to get my Cat Neutered and I thought I was calling my Vet that I take my Dog to which is East Mesa Veterinary Hospital not Central Mesa Veterinary Hospital, so I trusted he would get good care and would be honest. First I had to wait because there was no one in the front desk. Then when filling out the paperwork they asked me to provide my SS number, which I thought was odd, so I asked them why they asked for it and the response was people run off without paying. I called to get pricing for neutering and they said I would have to come in for an exam and consolation and I asked what they

Don't take you pet here.... the vet is very rude and not helpful at all. They would not give an estimate to neuter my cat until they seen him and even after that they still would not tell me how much it would be also asked for a social security number I have never been asked by a vet for that. Anyway please take your pet somewhere else.

No words can describe this vet office on how terrible it is. In the beginning of taking my husky as a puppy everything was great, the staff was sweet to my pup and he never had any issues. Then I took my dog a few weeks ago due to him waking my husband and I up screaming and whimpering in pain in the middle of the night. Deeply concerned I took him in and when I tell you I was about to grab my dog and walk out, I absolutely mean it. Two vet assistance were laying on top of my dog putting almost all their weight on him trying to get him to lay down but he resisted as any dog would, then another

Nice clinic. Waiting area had a slight odor but nothing too bad. Staff was attentive to our pets needs. Got to witness them dealing with a difficult dog and it's even more difficult owner. They were as professional as they could be given the circumstances. I wanted to step in and tell the owner to behave.

Went there in 2015 with my shar pei mix for a rash on both front legs. Was given topical ointment and sent on our way. Unfortunately it became worst. To the point where the skin looked raw. Smokey was taken in for around the clock treatment. After a couple of weeks we were able to bring him home with lot’s of care. We were under the impression that he was better only for him to pass 4 days later. Needless to say the bill was not that cheap and after paying all but $280 that we would come back to pay. After loosing our dog and being upset I completely forgot about the balance. I received an email

I took my big 90 pound dog in there today. They were able to accommodate a same day appointment. My dog was very anxious as he is a new rescue from the county shelter. The staff were so patient and helpful with him. The front desk ladies were friendly and helpful. The vet didn’t run a bunch of unnecessary tests. I will definitely be back with both our dogs. They were knowledgeable and the visit was reasonably priced.

I have had a wonderful experience with East Mesa Animal Hospital.
Dr. G figured out what my cat needed to make a full recovery. My sweet Judith is the most thankful of us all.
She enjoys her days now that she isn't dizzy and having seizures any longer. Judith has returned to complete normal feline behavior. Chasing our kitten around and playing as if there was never anything wrong with her.
This came at minimal cost as well. I truly appreciate everything Dr. G and her staff have done for Judith and our new kitten Josephina as well.

I have had many experiences with many vets over the years. This office will not hold your hand, will not sugarcoat. They are straightforward and realistic. Excellent care, and the vets are working with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Ultimately, these old hands, that never bought into the sugarcoating of vet practice, are the absolute best for realistic care for animals. Straight shooters! I recommend highly if you seek Doctors who are only interested in being doctors.

I heard about the service they provide here and have a relative that took their sweet dog here when he was sick. I was her ride there to the clinic. They waited for almost an hour to be seen and when they were finally seen it was a very slow process. I mean slow. Dr. Kern was apparently very rude and old. The whole process took an eternity! Place is old-school, I saw a lot of paper files and can only take certain payment for cards. Would not recommend coming here. We're not going back that's for sure. My sister also said the doctor and the staff didn't seem to interested to be there. Place is cheap

“INEXCUSABLE” is really the only word that I can think of regarding my experience at this clinic today. I brought my cat in for a case of constipation, which he has experienced before, so I expected to be on my way shortly after an enema treatment, which has been the standard at my usual vet (who was booked solid). I was sorely mistaken.
First,… the presentation of the facility - it is old, clearly only cleaned on the surface level, and smells thoroughly of urine. I had bad vibes right away, and I should have left at that point, but I did not. My gut feeling was proven right

Luna is my childhood pet and the absolute light of my life! When we took her in she was super sick and we thought she was going to need to be put down. Turns out it was just a bad infection which was treated… with a simple round of antibiotics. They have answered immediately every time I’ve called (and I call a lot), have gotten me in same or next day, and have showed so much love and compassion for my little lady. Every single employee at this vet are good people who genuinely love what they do and it fills my heart with joy to know when I bring in my kitty she’s loved and cared

My healthy 3 year old great dane passed away while in the care of Dr Kern. My wife and I decided to take a small 3 day trip for the holidays. The friendly staff and cheaper prices lured us in. Chief has always been boarded at a vets office because it made us feel safe in case something would happen. This was our first time at East Mesa Animal… Hospital. Right away it was apparent the staff and Dr. Kern had NO CLUE how to properly care for a great dane. It all started when we dropped Chief off and they took him to a back room to get a vaccine. He ended up escaping and running wild through

I have a lot of things to say about this place. We went here for a few years for various things. A dog bite to a dog and a cat, kenneled our cat a few times, and they helped diagnose and treat our cats diabetes. The first problem is the front desk. Though most of the women are friendly, there's one that is not friendly at all but at least helpful,… they seem to be disorganized and pretty clueless. That could entirely be the vets fault but dealing with them always ruined my day. I had to go there once a month to pick up cat insulin and each time I called ahead beforehand and came hours later

The staff was very helpful and doing their best to help everyone. Folks seem to think that vet appts should quick and easy peasy. Wait - yes there was lengthy wait, BUT it wasn’t anyone’s fault. Three people brought in dogs with parvovirus. They treated those first, cleaned the rooms and took people in turn. I highly recommend this veterinary provider. Cost is reasonable for service provided.
