I’ve been taking my pets here for years. Super nice and caring staff but since Dr. Rick Linbeck retired things are different. Super steep No Show fee 50 plus 7 dollars service fee so don’t forget to cancel your appointment.

Good for cats and dogs, not much else. Vet didn't know how to hold a guinea pig and picked mine up by the scruff of the neck alone which you are never supposed to do. Treated my dogs well though, vague evaluation.

I’ve brought my dog here many times as this is the only vet I use. They are kind and very knowledgeable! My dog and I have had wonderful experiences here.

This was my second visit to this office. I have a cat, and she was kept overnight and cared for well. I'll be going back.

They were nice I guess but super way expensive!! I did learn however tho that the pet clinic directly behind that one is considerably less expensive for example I took my 5month old Alaskan husky there fearing that he had parvovirus and learned that for their parvovirus text (which consists primarily of sticking a thermometer in your dogs butt and testing the fecal matter) costs $200 but if you go to the pet clinic right behind them it’s only $40 for the exact same test.... so..... just a little heads up if you don’t have money growing on trees it’s good to know what’s up when it comes to important things like your pets health...

Dr.Rick is the kindest most patient vet I have ever met and his staff is so knowledgeable and nice. I could say many many good things about this place, but I'll sum it all up by saying, never in a million years would I go anywhere else!

In 1997 I took my beloved calico to the so-called "veterinarian" Lindbeck, for a tumor behind her eye. The eye was surgically removed. To my HORROR Lindbeck told me that there was no pain medication for cats. I rushed my little girl to a qualified vet who was shocked, advised me to sue, and immediately administered pain medication and gave us medication to take home. I called Lindbeck about this and he lied AGAIN saying that it's not possible to sue a veterinarian in the state of California. I hope with every fiber of my being that what this crazy monster Lindbeck did to my little girl happens to him. Too bad that a zero star rating doesn't exist. And may God curse Lindbeck to a burning hell WHERE THERE IS NO PAIN MEDICATION!!!

Can't thank these guys enough I've been taking my cats here for 18 years. I would also like to mention the fact that they are the reason why I still have my 2 cats as of this day by saving their lives more than once!! Took my 18 year old girl in there because she had a tumor that they removed from her leg and the process was so much easier than I thought it was going to be and she is so much happier now thanks to them! Thank you guys so much in nothing but love for this spot.

Had a great experience with my old Wheaten Terrier, Kelly. The vet took extra time to diagnose my dog's leg pain and provided a practical remedy to help her. Their cost was very fair as well.

We purchased the kitten package for a 4 week old abandoned feral that we took in. It was very reasonably priced and included his neutering. They also took care of Panthro when he broke his hind leg

Everyone here was very nice with my Dog when he had his ear emergency. The vet explained all about the procedure and I felt like the staff really cared about my buddy. It is not a fancy shmancy office, and they do have some resident cats in the waiting room which I was concerned might flip out my dog, but they were pretty much immune to new visitors.
