I found Dr. Kestler 8 years ago when I adopted my dog, Charlie. He offered a free initial exam for animals adopted from San Jose Animal Care Center and his practice is around the corner from my house. He is hands down the best Vet I have ever gone to. I trust him 100% with my animals. And even if I moved further from his practice I would still make the drive to see him.He is very patient, very kind, great with my fur kids, answers ALL of my questions (and I can ask A LOT!), he never rushes me, and he doesn't try to squeeze every last dime out of you like some Vets do. He also teaches me preventative care for my dog that has allergies so I don't have to come in with Charlie every other month with another skin problem. I can now catch it at home and use the extra skin cream he gives me and start treating it myself. He taught me how to clean and treat the area and as long as I catch it quickly enough I don't have to take Charlie in. I have never met a Vet before him that does this. I tell everyone I know that they should go to him. I even have my sister and mom taking their fur kids to him now. I noticed a couple people said they are overpriced. I find them to be comparable to other places, MAYBE a tad more than some but nothing outrageous. Plus, they do not recommend all kinds of costly treatments, etc. Dr. Kestler takes the time to eliminate certain things before you have to start on anything more costly (like blood work, etc.). So far I have been lucky and haven't had to get into anything too expensive. And as I mentioned, he teaches you preventative care so maybe you pay a few extra dollars but that means you won't be going back every few months with the same issues. I also noticed someone said it cost them $400 for shots and normal blood work. Blood work is not normal. Something else had to be going on with that persons pet that they are leaving out. I have NEVER had to have blood work done on a normal vaccination check up for any of my animals at any Vet I have gone to. I have also NEVER paid over $150.00 for shots and a check-up. I have had animals in my life since I was born and between me and my family I have had a lot of experiences with other Vets. I was constantly changing Vets and could never settle on one because I just never cared for them much until I met Dr. Kestler. I will stick with him as long as he is in practice. The poor guy is stuck with me and my four fur babies (2 dogs and 2 cats). Read Less

My son and I were given a sweet little Pomeranian but he came with little information. Dr Kessler checked him over thoroughly, updated his shots and discussed things that we should be aware of. We also opted to have him chipped, since he won't  be neutered for medical reasons. The doc was kind and knowledgeable, we were both very happy with our first visit Read Less

I have been bringing my animals here since 2010. Previously, our pug had bad experiences at two vets (to the point where she hyperventilated and passed out at the last one), but she trundles in happily here. In 2011, Dr. Saito operated on Pennie (the pug) and removed a large cancerous tumor from her liver. Pennie is still with us today.I have also seen Dr. Kessler when Dr. Saito is off--when our old cat had a seizure--and he is great too.IMO, prices are comparable to this area, and less than you will pay at Adobe Animal Hospital in Los Altos.

Love Dr. Saito and staff.  They've always taken very good care of my doggies and kitties.  They listen and respects your concerns for your 4 leg kids. Don't judge them by the look of their building or the interior.  It's dated, but it does not reflect anything close to the fantastic service you get.  The parking lot, lobby, and the exam rooms are spotless.  All the staff are warm and caring to you and your pets.I highly recommend their services to anyone.

Dr. Kessler is a great vet and person. I've taken my pets there for many years and he's dealt with emergencies along the way too. He's not the kind to make money off of people's misfortunes, and I trust him completely. Highly recommended! Read Less

I took my cat there because she had an infection in one claw and The Cat Hospital just kept giving her antibiotics without further testing. The doctor was great, he thought it could be a fungal infections and spent a great deal of time explaining my options and treatments. He gave me an antifungal to start using on her, and said he would let me know about the test results, which he did by calling me on Christmas!!! The infection cleared up and has never come back. If we hadn't moved across the country I would have continued going there. Read Less
