We have been taking our pets to Dr. Roggendorf, AKA Dr. R. at San Gabriel Animal Hospital for 16 years. Dr. Roggendorf saved our Sassy when she was a puppy. He also saved our little Whoopi. She was a rescue from a "puppy mill". Miss Peggy saved her and then I was privileged to get her. Whoopi had no hair, except on her head. After testing Dr. R placed her on thyroid medicine. She had a "lot" of teeth extracted by Dr. R. How she ever survived is a testimony to him and Dr. Kaplan who cleared her schedule to do an emergency spay as she was hemorrhaging. Dr. R and his staff raised money for Whoopi to get her little shoulder joint repaired by Dr. Murphy - doggy orthopedic surgeon. We were able to enjoy this little bundle of joy for 3 years and yes she grew hair albeit thin. When she had to leave us, Dr. R was so compassionate and Miss Kate was there with me and gave me encouragement. Miss Peggy was in Minnesota at the time, but she was with us in spirit. Dr. R and his staff sent us a sympathy card and a book after little Whoopi wen on her "rainbow journey". Hold on there are 2 more special dogs in our life - Miss Daisy - bless her heart a rescue from Temple Shelter. My first stop was San Gabriel Animal Hospital, as I had to make sure she was healthy and she was "filthy". Miss Annabelle and Miss Karyl gave her lots of love and kisses and a good bath. They took her picture and she became part of the San Gabriel Hospital family. She is an important part of our family! Then what can I say? There is gnarley Marley. The sweetest little Pomeranian who Dr. Riekert, an awesome associate of Dr. R, and Miss Karyl doctored and nursed back to health. He, like Miss Whoopi, "neglected" . and they took him in and made sure he received the care that all animals deserve,. He came into our family by accident and what a wonderful miracle that was. He was a gift from Miss Karyl. He is not as laid back or "sleepy" as he was and not to sound like a proud parent, he has some cute tricks. Miss Daisy loves him "a lot"! They walk and prance every night and share food thanks to Dr. Riekert and Miss Karyl and the care he received. All the staff loved him and took very good care of him. When you have a healthy dog, you have a happy dog and thanks to all the staff and doctors at San Gabriel Animal Hospital I have that good fortune. There are a lot of very accomplished and good doctors here in Georgetown, Texas. For our family of "fur children", I made the decision to stay with San Gabriel Animal Hospital. I was so surprised and oh so very happy when I walked in the hospital one day and saw that Miss Peggy, Miss Karyl, Miss Kate and Miss Julie all came back. They are very experienced at what they do and I am grateful that they are back, because they know how much I care and worry over our pets and they make me relaxed just knowing they are going to answer the phone or be there when I "drop in". This is a long review, but after 16 years, it is going to be. I will end by saying after 16 years of using this hospital, I have met a lot of great vet techs who are no longer there. I will always remember them with kindness and gratitude. They know who they are but most of all I appreciate the docs and their staff at San Gabriel Hospital. They not only treat our pets, they treat us too, they know we are nervous and frightened and if you notice, it is not on purpose you wait a little when you and your pet are waiting to see the doctor - they are giving you time to settle in and calm yourself a little - have you noticed when you are calm then your pet is also calm. Much love to all

bad place to go , i do NOT recommend the old man dr. roggendorff , he dosent know what he is doing or is talking about. He always takes way to long with appointments, you can be there for 4 hours for a simple upset tummy , with no testing done just a bunch of use less medication that cost you about $300 and if that isnt enough he is trying to push more stuff on you at the front desk. the staff that he used to have was very caring and cared about the well being of your pet.. these new people he has working there just seem to care about the money and how to increase your bill. I will never go back there. I did see dr. Webb a few times with my pets and she was WONDERFUL and i loved how she got down on the floor and interacted with my dog and did a very good exam , i would highly recommend her. I have learned that she is no longer with san gabriel but, she has opened up her new clinic in georgetown called Good water Animal Hospital right by sun city , which is very close for me to drive. I have been to her new clinic once and it is very very pretty. All high tech new equipment. i also learned that the techs that worked with her at san gabriel have moved with her to her new clinic , along with the wonderful front desk lady Tammy. so you get a WONDERFUL dr. and CARING techs.

Dr. Rowley and his staff has been more then accommodating to us. Anytime any one of our pets has been extremely ill and they were not scheduled to be in clinic they would immediately drop what they were doing and come in specifically to care for our pets. They have saved us tons of money and have worked with us financially so that we could give our pets the best possible care. They have even takien our pets on a wimb when we were scheduled to be at work all day and didnt want to leave them unattended at home. I am forever grateful for their generous and loving hearts. I know Dr. Rowley genuinely cares for our pets even right to the end he specifically came in just for our pet and he mourned with us as we mourned. Affordable pet care that is accommodating, understanding, and loving. Thank you Amanda, Sarah, and Dr. Rowley!

The experienced staff at San Gabriel Animal Hospital has cared for my pets for well over a decade. During that time, I have brought all kinds of cats and dogs to them. Most of them were rescues with complex problems. My pets and I are always treated with utmost courtesy and compassion. This is true whether the animal is young or making that last visit to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Through the years, Dr. Roggendorff and his associated veterinarians have consistently been sensitive to the cost of maintaining multiple pets by providing treatment options. Admittedly, I am a frequent flyer for San Gabriel Animal Hospital. I keep coming back, because they care.

I am from California and we were passing through Central Texas when our dog became ill. I called first thing in the morning and they were able to see us 1 hour later. The receptionist was very nice and the doctor was also very personable and spent a lot of time with us and our dog Daisy. After running a few tests he gave Daisy a few shots and gave us some pills and a special diet for her for the next few days. Very caring and thorough. The thing that really surprised me was that 2 days later I got a phone call from them to see how Daisy was responding. 5 STAR.......COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE SERVICE Thank You San Gabriel Animal Hospital
