I just had the best experience imaginable at Governor Animal Clinic! My beloved 13-year-old Golden Retriever needed a tooth extracted but, based on past experiences, I was nervous about putting an older dog under general anesthesia. I also had concerns about the wisdom of giving certain vaccines to an elderly dog (another vet had insisted they be given to her prior to surgery). And, finally, I had some real financial limitations. The clinic I had frequented for years did not take Care Credit so I shopped around a bit, but could not find a veterinarian who really understood and sympathized with my fears and needs. On the very strong recommendation of a friend, I called Governor. From the first phone call to our first meeting, the staff were extraordinarily kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and understanding. I needed quite a bit of hand-holding, and got it in spades. It turned out my dog also had a benign growth in her mouth, and also needed a dental; but the staff took extra time and care to explain things to me, and did their best to make the procedure affordable. There was absolutely no shaming about my lack of financial resources; it felt like we were a team who put my dogs need first and foremost. I would like to give special kudos to Sara, Samar, Dr. Benitez, and Sue Stutz! You can tell these folks love what they do, and that they care about pets AND their owners. By the way, my Golden was jumping around and begging to be walked the very next day...

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!! All of our dogs are seen at Governor. We have been using Governor for years and we have always had exceptional service!! Leanne (front desk employee) always comes out and gives our boys pets. Funny because she had the day off on our last visit and one of our dogs was looking for her. I told him Leanne had the day off and as soon as he heard her name he perked up and got all excited. :) He didnt get pets while waiting in the lobby but he sure did get lots of love when he saw the vet! Happy Dog, Happy Dog Mom!! Thank You Dr. Feinberg and staff!! We love you guys!!

price: higher than average but with it location: convenient and never any parking issues (just off the 5/52) staff: all friendly and try genuinely to make things easier and friendlier doctors: all great, something for everyone so if youre not sure about your vet the first visit maybe try a different one next time. they are ALL wonderful and i have met with every one of them on different occasions with my multiple pets. they are all concerned with the welfare of your pets.

This is the best vet clinic in San Diego. Dr. Sorensen, Dr. Feinberg, and all the vets and staff are not only experts at what they do, but they love animals. Ive been taking dogs and cats here for decades. When I moved farther downtown, I tried taking my animals somewhere closer, but they didnt have near the expertise, so now I take the extra time to drive my fur kids farther up the coast to Governor. Cant say enough good things about them.

I have gone to Governor Animal Clinic for years for my cats and my dogs care. The clinic staff are always professional (on phone and in person), kind and helpful. I have most experience with Dr. Kirkk Feinberg. He, in my opinion, is one of the best vets in SD. He is objective, practical (doesnt charge for unnecessary treatment), ethical and very professional. I would by all means recommend this clinic and the vets I have experience with.

I brought my cat in here for an emergency and they were so helpful and efficient. They explained the full extent of the injury and what the options were to treat it and gave me a cost for each part of the procedures. All the ladies were very sweet and I would highly recommend this place.

I need to bring my pets to another country, which involves a lot of process. I asked more than five hospitals around La Jolla. This one is the most afforadble. Everything is going well. Our cat is a crazy one, but they seem to have a way to handle her. Our technician Tracy is awesome!
