I am sorry that the other reviewer had a negative experience, but having been involved with various rescue agencies for exotics, I can tell you that the care provided here is top notch. Yes, mistakes do happen, and yes, the exotic vet is busy (hes great and popular in the area), so explanations sometimes arent immediately available, but you will get a call from him to explain any concerns/findings. As with all vets, payment is expected at the time of service, even if the personnel working in the office arent able to explain the nature of the treatment the vet deemed necessary; you wouldnt expect the secretary at your doctors to have much information, either. To get the best information, you should go into the exam room with your pet. He has always been forthcoming with any knowledge and is up front about tests that wont have immediate results. Dr. Blumberg is a member of Association of Avian Vets and is a contributor to Sally Blanchards Companion Parrot Quarterly - both of which require knowledge and passion for proper bird health and welfare. He is not the cheapest AAV member, but he is the best in the North Bay. As far as clipping flight feathers from injured wings, this was probably done to help with healing. Using injured parts, like a running on a sprained ankle, needs to be prevented in order to heal.

I have had cats all my life, and been to various vets over the years. So, it is with this basis for comparison that I can say Dr. Krome is excellent. I was worried about taking Maximus anywhere. I inherited him a year ago, and the previous owner said she had never taken him to the vet. He doesnt like to be picked up, and I was worried about stuffing him in a cat carrier and hauling him away from home for some poking, prodding and shots. Max didnt like the trip (to be expected), but Dr. Krome and his staff were top notch in how they handled him. Max endured it all (even the thermometer in his backside) with surprising calm. The surprise for me was the bill, which was lower than I expected. When I read the other reviews, I discovered a 2011 review where a pet owner wrote a long diatribe about rates. It certainly didnt match my experience. And, to be fair, it should be noted that Dr. Krome didnt own the business then, either. I particularly like the fact that his vet has a special certification for cat handling--not something all vets can claim. All said, I highly recommend Dr. Krome and Santa Rosa Veterinary Hospital!

I dont usually write reviews it was Google reviews that helped me figure out where to go next after waiting for an hour at my previous vets office only to be told it wad going to be at least another half hour before I could be seen due to an emergency. This was the second time this had happened to me there and while I appreciate the fact there was an emergency, I shouldve been told on the outset. So I picked Santa Rosa Veterinary Hospital due to its Goolge reviews. They were able to get my cat in that day, and explained from the beginning it would be a wait (they too had an emergency) in part because they were double booking to get us in. The wait wasnt more than a half hour. The staff were great, the doctor was fantasic. He even gave me his email address incase I had any questions down the road. I highly recommend Santa Rosa Veterinary Hospital. I will definitely be using them again.

Best Damn Vet in Sonoma County! Truly care about your pet not your wallet. You do have to pay but they always go above and beyond what you pay for. Great people from the front office to the back. If you love your pet like family and want to take care of them from the front to the back this is the place to go! Trust me i dont have a lot of money but when I got my dogs back, I was 100% satisfied with every dime I spent! Ive been to a few vets in Sonoma County and not only is this the best priced but the best care my pets ever received. Dont waste your time elsewhere The Santa Rosa Veterinary Hospital is the only place you need to go. To hell with 5 stars I give them 100 stars!!!!

We just moved from Canada to the US and had excellent vet care in our home country. We were worried about finding a good vet here in Santa Rosa, but one meeting with Dr. Bloomberg and we know weve found the best. Not just the best here, but the best weve EVER had. Hes kind, extremely knowledgeable and takes his time with each animal he sees, providing all the details you need and more to make good decisions about your pets care. The rest of the staff are amazing, too. Were extremely happy and feel very fortunate to have found Santa Rosa Veterinary Hospital. Highly recommended.

Incredible staff, excellent knowledgeable service. Lauren charmed our pup from the get-go, Dr. Krome answered all of our questions and calmed all fears (human and canine alike) And the bonus was a special pedicure for the doggie, who being a very paw shy critter was handled with grace and kind care. Big thanks to the front office folks, Megan and Jean and also the clinic staff, Lauren, Dean and Dr. Krome. Weve found a new vet and couldnt be happier about it! Jack and JayTee

This is the best clinic in town. The staff is very caring and loves to spend time with your pet. The Dr. is a down to earth man who takes the time to go over everything with you. I have never felt like he was in a rush to get me out the door so he could get to the next thing he had to do. He found a treatment for my dog that has made a huge change in our life. He is like a puppy again wanting to play and run.

Dr. Krome, his vet techs, and office personnel were excellent in the care of my Siberian Husky. They went above the standard of care. They provided comfort for a fearful dog. He tolerated the procedure pre and post operatively great due to their guidance. Its great to know your pet is in good hands, after having a bad experience at another SR yet . Thank you kindly

All of our animals have been to Dr. Krome at one time or another since he bought the practice. He is the best as is all the staff at the hospital. Dr. Krome is very open, friendly and knowledgable. He works with you and your pet. I highly recommend SRVH for any veterinary needs you may have.
