I cant say enough amazing things about this vet. Our oldest cat had started acting strangely and began peeing and pooping all over the house. We took her in to be checked and thats when we first met Dr. Trudy Golub. It turned out our cat was in the early stages of kidney disease. At the time our cat was 13 and surgery was not an option, but Dr. Golub gave us options for keeping our cat comfortable and more or less "healthy" in these last stages of her life. During our visit Dr. Golub was patient, kind, and compassionate throughout the entire visit. When we left, our cat was feeling better and the changes we made kept our cat more or less happy and healthy for nearly a whole other year. A few weeks back our cat showed signs of decline. We went in thinking the worst. Again we saw Dr. Golub she gave us our options, comforted us as a family and patiently left the decision up to us. Not ready to let go we opted to treat our cat for some of her symptoms at the time, give her fluids and see how she did. She lasted about two weeks before we saw serious decline and we knew it was time. We took our cat back and again Dr. Golub was there. She saw our cat throughout the last stages of her life and showed the most love and compassion I have ever seen in a vet. When we put our cat down she comforted both our cat and my wife during those last minutes of our cats life. While putting a pet down is never easy, I believe Dr. Golubs care and compassion made this as easy as something like this could be. We have one cat left and we will definitely be taking him to see Dr. Golub for his vet care. She is an amazing vet and an amazing person who made a huge difference in the life of our cat and our family.

I went into Centennial Animal Hospital thinking I was going to have to pay a lot of money for my new Puppy Shaggy, He found me in my neighborhood and I brought him into the Vet to have him completely check out and etc, And I only ended up paying a fraction of a few other Pet Clinics near by them that they were going to charge me hundreds of dollars for the same type of work that the staff did at the Centennial Animal Hospital did. Plus another great interests is they are always friendly to you and your pet,they dont treat you like your a new customer or you dont have any money, or like you dont know so they could take advantage of you. They are also prompted about feature scheduled appointments like for shots or check up etc, what ever you need done they can do it all here at Centennial Animal Hospital. Another great plus factor is they have been around longer then most of the other Pet clinics and Veterinarians in the Corona area. At least 40 years or more they have been helping people like me and you or other animal lovers out their.

My first time to this vet was on a Saturday and I had an appointment. I didnt know they hold vacination clinics from 10-12 every Saturday and by the time the vet called me in I was already 35 minutes past my appointment time. The place was a zoo and the staff was overwhelmed--there had to have been at least 30-40 dogs and cats waiting and the crowd spilled out into the front lawn. The staff wasnt particularly customer service oriented, but they werent rude. The vet did an okay job, but obviously was very busy and didnt seem overly interested in my routine examination of my newly adopted cat. I was hoping to find a vet in my area, but I have decided that I am willing to drive to Long Beach (50 miles away) to an amazing vet near my old home. This place may be okay, but I suggest people dont go on a Saturday. It certainly scared me off, and I wont be back.

I dont even know where to start. I have been bringing my pets here for 12 years and I am finally moving on. Everytime I bring my pet in I leave broke with no answers. Even with an appointment I wait 45 minutes to be seen. Ive never felt like they were in business for the animals but rather for the money. In the past I have paid for meds and procedures that my pet didnt need, however I recently purchased their puppy plan and now that my puppy is all vaccinated and it is time to get him licensed I find out that it is the law to have him microchipped. Wait. What? I paid all this money for their puppy program, they informed me of all the shots that were required but didnt bother offering me or telling me that it is mandatory to have my pup microchipped. Wth? Everyone I talk to says the same :(

My sister and I adopted a couple dogs and this place was suggested by a friend. I like the vet. Shes has been nice and understanding on all our visits. We have small dogs who hate being restrained in any way. And both are a bear when it comes nail clipping. The other reviews mention a low quality of the reception staff so want to touch on that. It can be difficult when talking and working with reception simply because this place always seems to be busy. I have never been there with less than 4-5 other families waiting. The receptionists have to man the phones as well forcing pauses in your conversation. This is true of a lot of places and doesnt deter me from staying for the care of my furry family members. No matter busy they have been they have always been friendly and kind to me.

TLDR: Rude, unhelpful, unsympathetic My small, elderly dog got stung by a bee on her paw. I couldnt find the stinger and she began vomiting and breathing shallower. Centennial was the only nearby vet listed as open so I rushed over and got there at about 705am. The staff could not have been more rude, unhelpful, and unsympathetic. I was standing in their otherwise empty lobby, clearly distraught and worried about my dog dying from anaphylaxis and the only thing anyone said was, "Well, we dont have a vet available." They refused to even examine her vital signs. They also couldnt provide information any other vets in the area who might actually help me.

My pets have been patients at Centennial for years, 10+ actually. The doctors and staff are friendly and helpful. I couldnt imagine my pet seeing another veterinarian. My dog is relatively hardy most visits are for shots and the occasional treatment of hot spots. Easy in and out, they always find time for me and i think they have fair prices and give their honest opinions. As with anything, its a fine line between care and profit; i think centennial does their best to lean towards care. My pets health care needs will always be trusted to the doctors at centennial animal hospital.

I have been looking for a vet for quite some time in the Corona area. I finally decided to take my dog here for a consultation and was not impressed at all. I had an appointment, and waited 1 1/2 past it to be seen. The staff was not friendly, the doctor (female) rushed me in and out after I waited all that time...I was appalled...I did not go back. Not to mention it seemed dirty in there. I ended up going to South Corona Pet Hospital and was treated well in their very clean office. I was very happy with the doctor and am so glad I found a vet I feel I can trust.
