I had a large breed dog. Dr. Hirata was recommended by a friend and from my first visit I was impressed.. I have had many dogs and vets to go along with them.. I rate Dr. Hirata one of my best. The thing that impressed me the most was his obvious love of animals and that he would always, very patiently, answer all of my questions. My boy has passed but when I have some new paws in my house Dr. Hirata will be my vet.. PS I live on the North Shore and while it was a long drive, it was worth it.

I am changing vets....although I can't dispute that the animals get good care, you must be willing to pay and pay and pay for it! My last two experiences trying to get simple heartworm medication for the dog and a routine vet exam for the cat cost me over $400. which included extensive bloodwork I did not authorize. Follow up care was a phone call where Vet suggested even more expensive tests on these healthy animals. Both animals had been seen for healthy checks 6 months prior. Even my own human children don't go for well baby checks more than once a year!

Not recommended! Staff has little to no knowlege, quite rude and "dumb". Vets are so-so. If you go, make sure you check your bill - lots of overcharges, lots of "mistakes". Parking is awful. Place is dirty, old, smells.
