They are very efficient and kind. They explain everything to you and answer all your questions . The Vet is very gentle and talks to the animal to help the animal not be so stressed

I’ve been using Balboa Veterinary Medical for more than 30 years. I started with the original vet Dr Hagaman who was wonderful. Dr Arzumanian bought his practice in the early 2000’s and he is just as wonderful. He’s very caring and explains everything. The staff is very nice as well. I definitely recommend them.

My fur baby tore her claw off (she was being overly protective). I rushed her in and they took care of her. She likes the staff and I don’t have to drag/carry her in. She has already healed and is in good health.

We adopted a dog and brought him here for check up , followed by surgery. Our experience at this office has been phenomenal-The staff is warm and welcoming and super helpful. The Veterinarian is so kind and treated our puppy very lovingly.We had also brought our elderly cat here many years ago and had an equally good experience.The location is great, parking is ample and the wait time wasn't too long.If you need VET care for your pets this is the place to go!Highly recommend.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this vet clinic today. Despite arriving promptly at 1:30 pm, I found the clinic empty with neither staff nor other patients in sight. I had to call them from the very reception where I was standing, and still waited for 30 minutes before someone attended to me.The administrative processes were cumbersome. After filling out a new form in just 5 minutes, I had another lengthy wait. I came in for a straightforward blood test for my dog. I also had questions regarding neutering, microchipping, and ear infections. It was not communicated to me that the vet does not meet patients directly but instead communicates over the phone. I wasted nearly 3 hours in the waiting room, only to realize my dog's blood hadn’t even been drawn yet.Shockingly, the vet claimed that my dog had a good blood test result, when in fact, the test hadn't even been performed! To add insult to injury, he seemed to have mistaken my dog for another, consistently referring to him as "your baby". After being told everything would be finalized in 5 minutes, I waited yet another 10 minutes before learning that no blood tests had been done, and my dog had been caged without water for the duration of my visit.Please, reconsider before taking your pet here. Their operations are chaotic and inefficient. And while waiting, I noticed a chalkboard in the waiting room advertising a $10 discount for positive Yelp reviews, which makes me question the authenticity of their high ratings.

Dr. A and the staff at Balboa Veterinary are kind, gentle, informative and professional. I have entrusted them with care for our dogs and cats going back many years. I am always happy to recommend Balboa Veterinary to friends and neighbors.

Balboa veterinary clinic has taken care of our two dogs since 2015. They always make things as easy as possible and really care for our dogs. We just had both dogs taken for two surgical procedures on the same day and everything turned out great. Both dogs are recovering together at home. Really reasonable with pricing also. Great place for animal care!

My precious little Teacup Maltipoo Bijou has had the best care ever since she was 8 weeks old and that was 13 years ago with many thanks to Dr. Arzumanian from the bottom of my heart for keeping her so vibrant, happy and healthy throughout the years with several conditions in the past including a Mast Cell Tumor couple of years ago and I just can't say enough about what a fantastic lifesaver he is. Many refer to him as Dr A for short and I highly recommend Balboa Veterinary Medical Center to anyone seeking the absolute best possible care for their beloved pet. Thank you Dr. A I love U ?

We've been coming here for many years - with our many many cats and dogs. Dr. A is extremely dedicated, honest and caring. He's open to new ideas, and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He's also an excellent surgeon. Highly recommended!

I went on full detail of this place on yelp, so definitely check it put on there. However, I will say this place literally saved my daughter puppy life! The staff have all been kind and wonderful! My daughter puppy Athena absolutely love the staff and is always excited to see them, which says allot. I will be bringing my 2 dogs next Saturday along with my bigger dog earlier of that Saturday and then in 3 weeks for second rounds of shots for Athena. Decided to switch all of my dogs here because of the amazing care compared to my last vet office.

I love Balboa Vet because they're very professional, honest, and straightforward. I took both of my boys there to get neutered. Prince last year and Coco this year. Prince has passed on due to heart condition rip. Anyway, I called other places and they don't even tell you how much the surgery is or that they're taking appointments for October when it's still April. Balboa will make your appointment and tell you everything you need to know. The facility is clean and everyone is pretty nice there. I just like the feeling that they tell you everything up front and don't act like they're hiding something. I will continue to go here for my dog's needs. Thanks Balboa Vet.

I came to Dr. A for three cats that needed care.My first and longest cat, Oreo, received the best care that they provided. She had a growth above her eye and they successfully removed it and provided clear instructions on post surgery.My other two cats, Turbo and Peanut, were short lived but the doctor did the best he could to treat them.
