This veterinary hospital has built a loyal following over the years, with clients praising the genuine care and expertise of their medical team. Dr. Baghoyan gets special mentions for being knowledgeable and compassionate, and multiple reviewers emphasize how the staff actually listens and provides thorough, effective treatment without pushing unnecessary services. Several people make the point of driving 30+ minutes because they trust the care here more than closer options, and the affordability compared to central San Diego locations is a welcome bonus. The facility itself is impressive in size and serves double duty as both a vet hospital and adoption center. Most experiences reflect smooth appointments, same-day availability, and helpful staff who treat both pets and their owners with respect. A couple of recent visitors mentioned confusion around annual visit requirements for medication refills, which felt frustrating to longtime clients. Overall though, the pattern points to a veterinary practice that prioritizes animal welfare and honest communication, making it worth considering even if it means a longer drive for quality care.
Friendly staff and so many animals. This is a very clean facility. We are always happy to visit the animals.
