Dr. Black has doctored 8 of my dogs over the past 20 years. He was working with our original vet and we fell in love with him. We lost track of him for three years simply because he had left to start his own business and we simply lost touch. As soon as I found him again, I immediately transferred my records to him. Yes, his prices are higher but I have complete trust in his expertise and his talent. I could save money. But I won't because my 20-year history has been superior. My dogs are my children and I insist on the best care. His staff is the best. Whenever I have checked in my dog I was given an itemized list of the costs. This is the normal procedure. This is the time the owner needs to tell them whether or not you would approve of the costs/procedures. Once you sign the form, you are agreeing to the possibilities. Frankly, I trust him so much that I've always told them to do what is necessary only. Never have I felt over charged or was my dog over treated. My dogs and I have always been treated like family. I will stay with Dr. Black until I no longer have a dog. And I plan on always having a dog.

We have been clients of Dr. Black's for over 20 years. Yesterday our KC wasn't feeling well. The problem was quickly diagnosed, we went home with some meds and she' already feeling better. His staff is always so kind and professional. In the 20 plus years they have seen us through many difficult times. I have personally referred many people, including family members. Thank you Dr. Black and staff for always coming to the rescue! Cheryl & Gary Turner

As usual the care was excellent and the Darlene, Sarah, and all were helpful and courteous.

We have two very large dogs and we moved to Orange so we started taking them to Dr. Black. He's very nice and so are his staff, but his prices are outrageous. He quoted us over $450 each to neuter our dogs...we found another Vet that will charge about $135 each! We're changing Vets because his prices are just too high. I also agree that they do unnecessary procedures that just shoot the prices sky high.

Watch your pocketbook here. Yes, the place is clean and I personally never had a bad experience with the staff or Dr. Black. However, we left a couple of years ago too because of all the unauthorized and completely unnecessary procedures, shots and treatments. In addition, if you question the treatment/s, they make you feel guilty about not doing them. I thought it was just me! My new vet retired so I happen to be looking at other options. I ran across these reviews and wish I would have read them before. If you still want to try this place out, I would HIGHLY recommend you authorize everything BEFORE it is performed and question the necessity of every procedure!
