Never take your pets here. From the first time I went in. Wrong diagnosis. They tell me my cat has been biting my other cat. Didnt happen. I changed my cats food to higher quality food and the skin lesions went away. So I am assuming it was a food allergy. Dr. Dunlap says no way was it a skin allergy. Paid the bill. Brought my older cat in for a respiratory infection for last year and a half that wouldnt seem to clear up. He was put on a general antibiotic a couple times. I asked if he could be checked for herpes. He said only at a special clinic. Said cat didnt need a specialist. My cat was also vomiting. He said he did senior panel bloodwork. Said bloodwork was all good. Failed to mention they skipped the thyroid. So when my cat got sicker, I take him back. Then I find out of course hes fighting infection but his thyroid is off. Thanks for missing that. But no meds sent home. So i go in to get a copy of bloodwork so I can take him to emergency and I give them a bad review on yelp. My cat passed on Oct 23 stopped eating had to put him down...they sent me records after they found my bad yelp review sying go find a new vet..well my other cat is really sick now because i had brought him in for labwork and he is a kidney cat and former feral rhsy knew this and hand me back cat say all done and let me figure on my own no urine sample taken...so then after arguing with receptionist tell me pick up litter to suck urine up for sample how can I you kicked me out as patient duh...last nite my cat went to emergency vet protein in urine now on kd spscial diet I asked Dr Dunlap for he recommends opposite feed high protein he said now my cat is on his way out second cat down...oh did I mention other cat no urine sample yet charged me for it...I asked nicely for refund they laughed at me...really.

Ive been coming here for over 20 years without a complaint until now. I havent been here in the last 3 years due to our losing our pet due to old age, 13 years. We now have a rag doll cat, very docile, my 9 year old daughter throws her over her shoulder without issue. We took her in for blood work, pre-spaying . They did not want me in the examining room while they took the sample. After 20 minutes I was informed the cat was being very aggressive and they wanted to keep her, wait for her to calm down and try again. Claimed she kept pulling away from the needle. they made a couple of attempts. If needed they were going to wrap her so she couldnt pull away. After waiting 3 hours I called, had other engagements for the evening, and was told they were going to try one more time. Picking up the cat I was informed they were not successful in obtaining the sample. I would have to reschedule. The spaying was 5 days later so why not schedule then? After getting my cat home we discovered her tail with blood on it. Seriously trying to get blood samples, multiple injection sites and they couldnt contain the cat, a Ragdoll? What happened to the wrap? I question if they really know what they doing these days. Three days before the scheduled appointment I called to cancel. I explained what happened and why I would not ever be returning. I was told they would look into it and get back to me. Hasnt happened yet. It appears the office has changed ownership since I was last here 3 years ago. That or management really doesnt care. I wont be back. Warm Springs Pet Hospital is looking very good with my 1st visit..

These people really care. Its unfortunate that I have to move. I hope the vet in the area Im moving to is as nice as the people who work here. Your pets are in good hands. I have been coming here for the past 10 years. I highly recommend them for your vet needs. Update: they are beyond kind. I had to put my dear dog down, and they sent me a card expressing their deepest sympathies and even gave me my old buddies paw prints. It means a lot to me when people do that. I wish I could give this place a thousand stars. I will truly miss them all. If you have a pet you love, please take them here. You and your pet will be treated with respect and kindness.

Central Veterinarian Hospital has been the go to place for all the pets in our family. I loved Dr. Dunlap; he took excellent care of my cat Lily. Plus, she was never afraid of him, which is surprising due to the fact that she is people picky. Unfortunately, most of the receptionist staff is horrible. (It only takes a few to ruin the bunch) Every time I call to schedule an appointment I am greeted by a snobby, gum chewing girl receptionist. A five minute conversation is equivalent to fingernails running down a chalk board. I give up…. I like being greeted with a smile… especially when I am forking over the big bucks for cat health care.

I have been trying to find a great place to take my Yoshi , as I am very concerned about her well being. I came here as a new pt. and I cant say enough about the wonderful Dr that we saw. Her name was Dr. Linda Lawrence, she was wonderful really took the time to educate me on my dog. I feel like we are finally in good hands. Wonderful place I will highly recommend. I have found my vet. Soooo Happy.

Usually Im met with more than competent techs and vets when I take my dog. Every now and again youll get a vet that wants to push some product on you but overall its a good place to take your pet. The staff is knowledgeable and caring - two traits that mean a lot to me when I look for a Veterinary Hospital.

Central Vet is the only place I will take my pets to. They are honest, kind, gentle, patient, and they LOVE all fur-babies, or slithering snakes, etc. Dr. Bruno is awesome, and I especially appreciate the extra love and kindness from Erica Soltero, one of the vet techs there!

My pets have always received excellent care at this vet hospital which I have been taking my pets to since I was a kid. From rats to dogs they have always received excellent care. I just took my dog here to get his teeth cleaned and his nails trimmed and it went very well.

Nice people, staff knowledgeable, prices reasonable. They currently have 5 or 6 vets on staff. I travel with animals internationally & need paperwork from vet. Theyre good for that. They dont seem to use or know a lot about alternatives to Western Medicine.

They are such a great place to take your pet. We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Linda and she was wonderful with our American Bulldog. She truly loves what she does and it shows by her love for the pets. I wouldnt want to take our dog anywhere else.

Visiting my Mom, and my dog become very ill. She takes her dog here so I called them first. They got me in the same day I called. They where a little pricey, however Charlie is like new again.
