• "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." - Cydney T.
• "My 18-year-old chihuahua was having an urgent medical issue and I couldn't get her in anywhere and the line at urgent care was extremely long. My friend recommended Bernardo Heights Veterinary Hospital to me and when I called and explained the situation they were able to squeeze her in that day! The whole staff was wonderful and warm and I really felt like I could trust them with my tiny best friend! I will definitely be bringing her here going forward." - Aimee W.
