VCA Anderson Animal Hospital
4.4(347)✓ Verified
VCA Anderson earns strong praise for end-of-life dignity and follow-up care, with several reviewers naming specific vets like Dr. Lewis and Dr. Roberts for going above and beyond. Staff generally treat anxious rescue animals with gentleness and explain options without pushing expensive services. However, a handful of negative visits reveal gaps: one vet assistant failed to comfort a traumatized rescue dog during examination, and another doctor was called snippy, suggesting inconsistent experience depending on which staff member you see. The hospital shines with international health travel prep, puppy surgery follow-up, and written wellness recommendations. Reviewers appreciate the no-pressure approach to pricing and the personal check-ins after appointments. Most drawbacks stem from isolated negative encounters rather than systemic issues.

Bear Valley Veterinary Care Center
4.3(382)✓ Verified
Bear Valley's strength lies in surgical expertise and staff who take time with nervous animals; one owner credits three vets collaborating to save a cat's leg when others suggested amputation. Regular patrons report 20-year relationships, named technicians like Sarah and Fabi who calm anxious pets, and Dr. Stevenson's thorough approach to seniors and complex cases. Two serious complaints center on medication refusal without expensive diagnostics and pricing that runs 30-40% above nearby competitors, though most reviewers do not mention cost.
