Paradise Veterinary Hospital San Diego, California

Dr. Dembinski and her staff were very receptive and attentive to all my questions, woes and worries of new puppy ownership. Great team, very professional, so gentle and sweet to my new pup and so much attention to detail in the first follow-up email. So happy I found Paradise!

They have a curbside check - in appts. due to Covid pandemic. Had our dog neutered today time to pick him up afterwards ( he's doing fine ... little bit sedated

Me and my wife went with Leo, my 10 week lab puppy.. We are first time dog owners and we were little unsure how the appointment was going to happen overall, and had lot of questions. It was extremely smooth, went into parking and Leo was taken inside on time. Dr. Dembinski and her support staff were super helpful. Dr came outside in parking lot where we were waiting while they were checking Leo inside the hospital. She answered all our questions (we felt bad that later we did not ask her to come inside the car, it was super hot outside) she gave us lot of suggestions and all of that was also emailed to us in the report card. Very happy with our visit.

Great place. Awesome staff so loving and kind to our pets. Easy process for care and check in!.

First time here, and let me tell you how amazing my experience was. They really cared for my baby boy and gave me advice on how he can lose weight and answered all of my questions. I've been to other veterinary clinics and I have never received such one-on-one care before. Bring your pets here!

Always compassionate and thorough. Managing great communication while staying COVID-safe.

My puppy loves Dr. D and the rest of the staff. They are all very polite and professional with excellent covid precautions.

Great vet! caring and loving. knowledgeable and smart! Thanks for your help!????

We took our rabbit here for the first time and had a great experience with Paradise Veterinary Hospital. They are very professional, informative and really care. Thank you Kim Dembinski for all of your help ????

Wonderful caring vet and staff

My husband and I adopted a beautiful german shepherd last week from the humane society. We brought him to paradise for a check up. He became anxious and started barking (as dogs do). Due to his barking Dr. D would not complete a physical on him. I understand this decisions as she felt it was best for everyone involved. What I do not appreciate is the fact that she told us we should take him back to the humane society multiple times throughout the appointment. She took it upon herself to assume that since we are a young couple we do not understand what it takes to own a german shepherd and told us he will not be a good member to the San Diego society. She also compared our dog to a special needs child. I found Dr. D to be extremely offensive and rude and therefore we will never return to paradise. However, the vet assistant Tyler was wonderful and very professional as he was the only member of the team to actually listen to us. Response to owner comment: You educate owners by telling them to return their pet to the shelter? Multiple times? You educate owners by telling them their pet is the equivalent to a child with special needs? Implying that a special needs child is some kind of a negative reason to get rid of our pet? How is that not offensive? As a teacher, I work with special needs children daily and they are nothing short of amazing. As I stated in my original comment, I was not upset about no exam being completed. I was upset at the utter disrespect that Dr. D showed us. I have not called Dr. D back because I realized I do not care to hear whatever that terrible woman has to say. All I hope is that she learns to think about what she says before the words come out of her mouth.

I have a 7 year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who competes in agility and tracking. For the past 2 years he had had progressive problems with early onset arthritis in his hips and knees. I took him to an Orthopedic Surgeon at a specialty hospital who said that he should have stem cell injections in his hips and knees. The cost of the procedure was high because it was a specialty practice with a fancy facility and high overhead. An agility friend referred me to Dr. Dembinski because one of her dogs had severe elbow dysplasia and Dr. Kim did the stem cell procedure at a good price. She treated my dog last week and I was very impressed with her practice. The cost was half of what it would been at the specialty hospital. “Kirby” is recovering very well, and I highly recommend Dr. Kim and her staff for anyone who needs a great vet!!

Took my very anxious dog, Brody, there today. I avoid all public places and other people because Brody has some serious fear and anxiety. We have not been here in a few years because he is so difficult. Dr D is aware of his issues and has been helping me for years. She came in the room, spoke softly to him and let him do his pacing and examined in between his anxiety breakdowns. She gave him treats and consoled him. He responded to her so well and was actually a very good dog. I would not take my ill behaved, anxious dog anywhere else. ( I spent lots of money on training.. he learned to sit.) He is comfortable there, she works with his quirky personality. She spent time with me, explaining new ways to help calm his anxiety all the while calming him. Great experience..great care!

Another great visit with Dr. D and staff a couple days ago. She has been our vet since 2003 and we would never think of going elsewhere (even after moving 20+ miles away). She takes the time to explain what is going on with our dogs and makes sure we understand the issues, which we truly appreciate (we tend to adopt senior dogs, so sometimes there are many issues), and she is patient with us when we have lots of questions. Her patients’ happiness and health is always top priority. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the hospital is clean and well maintained. I highly recommend Dr. D and the staff!!!

Our boxer, Lizzy, had a dental procedure on 2/22/19. She had canine periodontal disease, grade III. She ended up needing 3 loose teeth removed, also. The actual process and Lizzy's recovery went more smoothly than we ever expected. We were thoroughly debriefed on what occured and walked through her x-rays. Her pain was well managed and healing was flawless - no bleeding. Thank you Tyler, Dr. D., and all others involved in her care that day!

I’ve taken my cat here 3 times to figure out what is wrong with his eye and have only been given eye drops an now his eye needs to be removed per another vet

Dr. D & her staff has always taken good care of our feisty little dachshund, Toki. I can truly say that everyone at Paradise Veterinary Hospital is passionate about what they do & is extremely sincere when it comes to caring for your pets. When the time came for us to put down our old man, Dr. D took the time out of her schedule to explain & comfort us through such a difficult time & decision. I honestly can't thank them enough for all that they've done...

Fantastic Nurses and Vets and affordable Care!

Runnung up a $400 bill to say there's nothing to do but, let the cat die or just put it down. Milking every little charge out of you. When you get a bad feeling like a car mechanic taking advantage of you. Just walk out.

I've been so happy with the care that my little guy, Rafa, gets at Paradise. He's a rescued chihuahua that has a lot of fear issues, and the veterinarians and technicians are always gentle and understanding with him. I can tell they truly care and are not trying to nickle and dime me for treatments that he doesn't need. They are very prompt in responding via email and phone. Plus, I love the festive bandanas he gets whenever he visits!

This was my first visit to Paradise Veterinary Hospital. My dog Marlow is six and has always been very anxious and apprehensive at the vets. In the past we have always had to have him muzzled and wearing a thunder jacket. Dr. D and Tyler took the time and made Marlow so comfortable, that the muzzle and thunder jacket was removed and the visit was a complete success. I would recommend anyone to bring their fur friends here. This was a wonderful surprise for both Marlow and myself....he left with tail a wagging and proud strut! Thanks so much. Nancy Paris and Marlow

Great staff and really care about animals.

Thanks for all your help with each visit, phone call, and email ????????????

Dr. D is a great veterinarian. We have used her for over 10 years. Followed her where she moved and finally bought this place. Couldn't find a more passionate and caring doctor for your pets. The staff is wonderful and caring and will make your visit pleasant and productive. There is no other vet for you pet

Great staff and cry knowledge. They don't try to take advantage of the situation by suggesting tests and lab work that isn't necessary. They really love animals there it shows.

People are super friendly. They truly do love animals.

This is by far the best veterinary office I have ever been to! Everyone there is always friendly and so helpful. I am so thankful that they are so close to me! ????

Best vet office and staff in San Diego

I moved to San Diego mid 2016 and was in search for a vet near mcas Miramar. I came across this vets office and I'm so glad I did! The staff is amazing and tentative. They treated my kittens like their own from the beginning! I have been bringing my kittens there sense they were 7 weeks old! My new pup will also be headed there for check ups

Everyone at Paradise vet is helpful, knowledgeable and wonderful. They are like my extended family. I feel like they love my dogs as much as I do. I recommend Paradise Vet to everyone!
