VCA Bay Area Animal Hospital

This is my first time coming to VCA. The environment was nice, they separate the dogs, cats, and exotics section in the waiting room. The exam room was perfect for my rabbit. I like that they do the exam on the ground as oppose to high up. My rabbit wasn't anxious at all, however, he does not like being handled. Dr. Chung and the vet tech, Dylan, was pretty gentle with him despite his feisty resistance. I did use the first time free exam certificate from the adoption center, but forgot the paper. However they were understanding, and I was able to email it to them post-appointment. Overall, I'm glad my rabbit is healthy and the exam went smoothly! In terms of price point, I am quite shocked by the price of the exam and treatments especially the vaccines! Oh my goodness! My go-to vet clinic has low cost vaccines for 2 doses, while VCA charges $88 PER DOSE. Suffice to say, I will stick to my usual vet clinic. Thank you, VCA!

Absolute best animal care around. I love this hospital. They're staff provide above and beyond service. They have exceptional communication and always provide kind and thoughtful care to the furbabies. They compassionately explain every procedure and recommendation. They do such a great job with follow up care and providing care plan services. This is the best VCA around. Highly recommend.

Came here because it was rated higher than the other VCA facilities. Coming from another VCA in a nice city, I thought, how could it be better?? To my surprise, the Vets (Doctors) here are amazing. The follow up is on point and the care is real. Came here for an annual check up, some bloodwork, dental and ear check. Same ear check that they did where I came, but the difference was night and day - more thorough, more care for my pet, and much better treatment with the goal of resolving the issue. No matter where I live in the bay area, I'd definitely make and keep this as my vet of choice. Side note, VCA care plans are only good at the VCA you sign up for. If I had to rate the VCA plan on that, I'd give it a 2 star. What's the point of having a VCA network if the plan you sign up for doesn't cover you at ALL VCA locations?? 5 star for this hospital, but 2 stars for VCA network.

I happened to get a few first visit and coincidentally my little Affenpinscher the next day was attacked by a pitbull. The vet here was fantastic and she did everything possible to keep the bill reasonable, even using samples where possible for meds. I highly recommend.
