The Drs here are all amazing. You can tell they really love their job and care for the animals.

Dr. Bernstein has been our vet for 2 years now (and was recommended to us by some of our friendswho also had great experiences). He has always been extremely helpful to us, and clearly has our dog's best interests at heart. Recently, our young dog had an issue requiring a relatively unique sort of surgery, and Dr. Bernstein was our first point of contact. He performed additional research for us to make sure his recommendations reflected the best advice, went out of his way to be available to us while we were trying to determine how best to proceed, and clearly put our dog's health over any other priority. He was also very candid about what was truly necessary vs. luxury when it came to cost and approach. We ultimately went to a specialist, but Dr. Bernstein will always be our primary vet and first point of contact based on this and other excellent experiences.

I had a good experience at VCA Crown Hill (go here instead for quality) during the two weekend days I had to go in for my cat last summer who was exhibiting signs of severe illness. I was devastated by the sad prognosis and decided to get a second opinion from Aurora Veterinary Hospital where the vet assistant (apparently, my pet was not important enough for a regular vet) stated that VCA Crown Hill does a good job and performed a cursory, almost dismissive "independent" exam but was happy to take my money for the full charge of an exam. I took my beloved cat on a road trip to Santa Barbara so that he could have a grand finale and see some cool things during his last days. I had him euthanize at a clinic in Santa Barbara where I had to contact VCA Crown Hill, so they could get his medical records before euthanizing him. I was clearly distraught, and all the Crown Hill veterinarians I spoke to on the phone during and after this process (it was very difficult for me to get over this and I kept wondering if there was more I should have done even with the abysmal diagnosis), and they were extremely sympathic and supportive. VCA Crown Hill even sent me an unexpected sympathy card a couple of weeks later. Aurora Vet Hospital just sent me a notice that my dead cat is due for his annual. I cannot figure out why they get good reviews except maybe they are the cheapest place in town if that's more important than quality care.

Best vet I've ever worked with. Very compassionate and affordable. Dr. Sowell was great to work with while my cat had cancer. Always willing to take phone calls and help us figure out the best course of treatment or not if that worked out better. I highly recommend them.

We took our two dogs and one cat to Aurora for a period of around a year. All had full exams, and at the time we liked the Vet quite a bit (friendly, seemed to know their stuff, etc.). During a visit with one of our dogs I asked about his teeth, specifically one particular molar (it was green). We were told it was fine, his teeth looked good, he was doing great, and there was no need for a cleaning. This was about 1.5 years ago, and since then we have moved. At this VERY MOMENT my dog is at a new vet, getting not one, not two, but FOUR teeth pulled because we trusted Aurora when they told us his teeth were fine; but instead, over the past 1.5 years, his teeth cracked and rotted to the point where they must be removed. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS HERE. Like I said, they may seem friendly and knowledgeable at the time, but the obviously do not have the long term health of your pet in mind.
