Veterinarians near Fairfax, CA

“Excellent care. My dog had an injury and I took her to West Marin Pet Hospital. They took care of my dog promptly and thoughtfully. I recommend them wholeheartedly.”

“We take our husky mix here and have also taken our foster dog here. The staff is really friendly and efficient. It has also been pretty easy to get an appointment here which we love. They I helped us figure out that our dog is very allergic to a lot of the plants in the area and are helping us treat his allergies with shots.”

“We just moved to the area and chose Animal Medical Center San Rafael - it was easy to get in for an appointment, everyone was very kind, and were so sweet to Taz! We were just there for routine wellness, but I feel confident that I’ve chosen the right care team!”

“Sam’s clinic is THE BEST. Had such a great experience with our little terrier, Indy’s hip surgery. They care so much and are very easy to work with. We are so happy with the results. Big thank you to the whole team. Highly recommend.”

“Currently not a client at this vet office but would love to be! I spoke with someone on the phone a few days ago. I just recently got a puppy and she is due for her 2nd round of vaccinations. The receptionist politely told me that they are currently not taking any new clients due to COVID-19, which seemed reasonable. She placed me on a brief hold and she instructed me to call back in a few days when another vet would be in the office and she may be able to see my puppy! Additionally, she gave me some great advice on taking care of my puppy's diarrhea caused by her diet and dewormer. My puppy is now pooping normally and much happier! Looking forward to reaching out again in the upcoming days to hopefully get her seen for her shots!”

“This is a very nice place to bring your pet. Ever since I called the first time, Paige was very kind and helpful to me given the little emergency I was having with my dog. She was very understanding and I paid under a hundred dollars for the consultation, a very reasonable fee. The veterinarian and her nurse were both very pleasant and loving with my dog. They gave me great suggestions and did not make me spend a lot of money on exams just for the sake of it. They saved me a lot of money instead and gave me advice as to what to do under the circumstances. Healthy & safe dog and a happy family ! Highly recommended.”

“Very heartful and in tune staff. Treats all clients with respect and honesty.Takes the time to listen to your concerns with your animals and suggest the most appropriate care for your individual animal's needs.Kelle Kearney has a very vast knowledge of different treatments for your animals needs.”

“Dr. Press is amazing! Always a good experience taking our dog to this clinic. Yesterday she was able to see our dog same day for an emergency which luckily kept us out of the ER. Super grateful for their whole team!”

“Cat Clinic is the BEST! My cats have been coming here for a long time. Dr David Innes took such good care of my old kitty until the end. My new cat is also a patient of the clinic, I would take her no place else. Staff is also wonderful and kind. Sure, at times they get pretty busy, but I have never felt neglected. I would hope that before someone come on social media to criticize, they actually contact the clinic and discuss the issue.”

“We've been taking our two dogs here for over a year now. They're been great: reliable, helpful, available, competent. It's my lab's favorite place to go! It's not cheap but not more expensive than you'd expect in Marin and they work well with insurance.”

“A competent and respectable vet service operating in San Rafael. It is commonplace that vet appointments are often very difficult to arrange in a timely matter which is not the case with this Vet Clinic. They were relatively quick to get us seen and the clinic is clean and pretty and well organized. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and willing to educate as well as treat. The only problem I have with this clinic is a problem I have with the entire vet business as a whole: for a relatively simple visit I was charged steeply. It's so expensive just to be seen.Maybe I'm wrong but I miss the days when vets tried to save their customers money by avoiding unnecessary half measures and all the nickel and dime extras that you couldn't dream would be on the bill at any point during the visit.But this is definitely a great vet service and I recommend them.”

“INCREDIBLE. I cried with relief that there are people who serve our local wild creatures with such love and expertise. Baby mouse is in the best human care available.”

“Dr. Lommer and the staff at Aggie's Animal Dental Center are the best! There are not many board-certified veterinary dentists in the Bay Area (literally a handful) and we were so lucky to have gotten an appointment here. Our 13-year-old Pomeranian, Coco, has been to so many vet clinics in our attempt to find her high-quality specialized care. She has several health issues, including a collapsed trachea, heart murmur, and elevated liver enzymes, on top of severe periodontal disease. She had a previous anesthetic cleaning before so we initially thought she could get her teeth cleaned at a regular clinic again. This unfortunately turned into a huge fiasco after a different vet could not intubate and even thought she had a throat tumor. Even though the tumor was ruled out, we were extremely hesitant to take her back to a primary clinic and started seeking out specialty dentists.The first specialty dentist we took her to quoted us nearly $10k and full mouth extractions, which we were understandably not thrilled about. This clinic ended up referring us to yet another clinic due to scheduling conflicts, with their first consult being 3 months out. Meanwhile, Coco's teeth were worsening and causing her to cough a lot - we felt TERRIBLE that she was in pain and we couldn't do anything to give her relief sooner. After frantically researching, I found Aggie's and miraculously they were able to squeeze Coco in for a consult that same week. This was the first indication that we had found somewhere special - Aggie's truly cares for animals and will go the extra mile to make sure your pet is seen and taken care of.Dr. Lommer was attentive, transparent, and compassionate during the consult and answered all of our many questions with expertise. It is evident that she is the best in her field and we appreciated the effort she put into studying Coco's medical records from half a dozen other vet clinics to truly understand Coco's health. As a parent of an elderly dog, I get very anxious leaving Coco for any reason, let alone for a major surgery. We walked out of the consult feeling reassured that Coco would be in good hands. Dr. Lommer also prescribed antibiotics in the meantime to keep Coco's tooth infection at bay, which we were so thankful for (other clinics had told us there was nothing they could do). The cherry on top was that Aggie's estimate was significantly lower than the other dental clinic and they also accepted Coco's previous labwork instead of requiring a recheck.We dropped Coco off in the morning on the day of the procedure and Dr. Lommer made sure to give us updates every step of the way (when Coco was put under anesthesia, when x-rays were taken and if there were any changes, how the procedure was going, and finally when Coco was waking up). Even though Coco needed 13 extractions, had some complicated root fractures, and was under anesthesia for much longer than anticipated, we felt at ease with Dr. Lommer's consistent updates, knowing also that there would be a board-certified anesthesiologist on staff to help monitor the procedure. We are so grateful to everyone at Aggie's for taking such good care of her!The 5-star service doesn't stop after the appointment - Dr. Lommer provided detailed medical notes to help us get the most out of our insurance claim. Coco is already making a quick recovery at home and we can finally rest assured that her teeth won't bother her anymore and we will have many more years with her. We highly recommend Aggie's to any pet parents seeking quality specialized oral surgery and/or dentistry needs. We have been through so many health scares with Coco that the higher price is completely worth the peace of mind to know that our fur baby is in the best hands. Dr. Lommer, we cannot thank you and your team enough for what you do! You guys truly are heroes and even though we hope we never have to see you again, we are forever grateful that Coco had such amazing care at Aggie's!!”

“Dog whisperer and now cat whisperer. Dr. Marinho is a gift. It started with our Bernese Mountain Dog. He was beginning to have frequent neck pain. It was painful to watch him. He is 10.5 years old. So that is awesome for a Berner. His regular vet put him on Gabapentin daily which takes a toll on a dog’s liver/kidneys. I refused to give him daily. Since Sterling has been seeing Dr. Marinho for acupuncture and taking muscle and neck supplements, he’s like a 2 year old. He has not shown any neck/spine discomfort for months. On his walks, people ask if he’s two. Now our Ragdoll cat is 12.5 years old and got very sick. So is it hyperthyroidism, IBS, or lymphoma? So now Dr. Marinho is treating him as well. We now started acupuncture and supplements on him. She is so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She is a delightful partner in figuring out the best options for my senior guys. I’m grateful for Dr. Marinho. Selfishly with all the kudos, I fear she’ll get even busier. Oh well, she is amazing. With thanks, Kimberly 12/29/2022”

“Dr DiMayo and vet tech Jose gave excellent attention to Maisee 10yr old labradoodle, we recently moved to area and had an awkward experience with a local vet. A friend recommended Novato Veterinary and I am so pleased how the Dr took his time and addressed all our concerns. Thanks”

“Very professional and caring vet. Called about a flea problem and they gave advice over the phone, and then followed up the next day with more recommendations from one of the vets. Thoroughly recommend.”

“I've been seeing Dr.Fry and his team for years. I value their transparency and for answering my silly questions. I have never gotten the sense that I'm being taken advantage of or upsold products or services. Taking my 8 year old lab here is easy, and they treat her well. Keep doing what you guys are doing! ♥️”

“I was referred here after my dog had an eye infection and my primary vet couldn't see him right away. My little buddy received the best possible care by a friendly caring staff! Had such a good experience I'd consider breaking up with my primary vet. I'd rate them as 5 stars too.”

“Outstanding. Dr. Steele was a rock during one of the most difficult occasions my children and I have experienced. Caring, professional, thoughtful, and genuine.If you are unfortunate in having to contemplate and arrange a final goodbye, I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“Dr. Manchester is straightforward and a great partner in our dog's healthcare system. She tells it like it is and we appreciate that. She's also been really sweet our daughter, and at our dogs last visit she giving her one of her parrot's large blue and yellow feathers, which our daughter has cherished ever since. We enjoy going to the Redwood pet clinic and would recommend.”

“Fantastic experience taking our newly adopted pup Riley in for her first checkup. We live in Oakland but were having such a hard time finding any vets that could see her within 6-8 weeks and we were worried she had an infection. The team, especially Amber, were so friendly and helpful. They shared our options without pressuring us. Riley loved everyone!”

“Dr. Schoengart has been very attentive to the needs of our rescue dog, Ozzie. She is careful and caring. The staff is friendly and we always feel welcome. The business has one flaw that I've noticed: sometimes the person who answers the phone (no names!) can sound overwrought and overwhelmed and can make me feel like I'm bothering them by calling! This is just a phone problem and does not reflect the Vet service, which is excellent, but it should be remedied. It's very off-putting. Other than that, we have no complaints about the care at Marin Pet Hospital. They are good, kind humans who really love animals.”

“I have been going to San Anselmo Animal Hospital since my puppy was 8 weeks old and I have to say that I love Dr. Anderson and the staff. Everybody is super nice and really respectful of helping Simba overcome his nervousness at the vet by being super patient.”

“Kelly & her staff are amazing. They took great care of Keilani for the last 10 years. She has come to our house, she will get down on the floor & treat your pet with best care she can. She is extremely loyal to her existing clients, she is one of the last vets around not owned by corporate & it shows. December 21,2023 I had to make the hard decision of saying goodbye to our family member. Kelly & her staff were absolutely amazing giving us comfort & helping us through this very hard decision & gracefully gave all us the comfort & love we needed on this sad day. Thank you Kelly & her staff for the last 10 years,you are truly the best.Keilani WestonSunrise: May 19,2009Sunset : December 21, 2023”

“Our appointment with you was punctual, pleasant, and reassuring. It is hard to deal with the public and personalities. It is my guess that it is people, not animals, who make the veterinary profession so hard. Thank you for creating an atmosphere of peacefulness in your clinic.”

“Great experience! Our deaf maltipoo was in great hands and looked 100 times better after Rucci's care. She is very friendly, great pricing, and wonderful groomer! It's our new spot!”

“Not only are the vets here wonderful for cats, making observations about their personalities, they are also great with people and have to be with a lot of finicky cat people. My teen recently got frustrated as we adopted a brand new rescue kitten. She was convinced that the fur baby had "roundworms" just like our 5yo cat used to have. He didn't correct her, just gently suggested that the medication he was prescribing was for tapeworm, for both he eventually said. Only later did she realize her mistake and that the medication was correct... so she got to realize it in her own time... I certainly am not that skilled... we would have gotten into it, possibly bickering about who is right... The other point is that the atmosphere of the clinic, 1970s unchanged, is one of the last bits of old Mill Valley, and I love that. I like the idea that his son will carry it on even when dad retires I hope. Sweet people. Even if I move I will still bring my cats here. You can also consult his son about poison arrow frogs and reptiles, as he is a very knowledgeable animal lover in general. I was there one day when a sweet woman was picking up her cat's remains and grieving, and again, like people have said, there was such an empathy and a kindness from the staff as she grieved and talked about her little best friend and all the good care they had given him over the years... I can't even imagine what it will be like to lose my little familiar.... but I imagine they will be kind in breaking the news... Okay last thing, in an emergency I took my cat to a clinic out of town, male cat with crystallizations..., and they recommended all kinds of unnecessary stuff... with a very high price tag, and Dr. Innis was able to cut through the bs and tell me, oh that's a fancy antibiotic but you can just do this and your cat will be healed. Gold! My bill went from 655 to about 150. He gives what is medically necessary and doesn't pad anything. Better for the people, the cats and the pocketbook. Refreshing and I love that!! I think they are up there with the Bay Area best... and they have earned my respect, many times over.”

“My review is long overdue. The staff was great, the office was clean. The vet sat on the ground with Jameson and massaged her as he listened to my concerns. It was a fabulous approach that put us both at ease.”
