Dr. Fred is an amazing Vet. He is great with all the critters that come through the door. Dr. Fred mixes traditional vet medicine with good ole fashion country vet medicine and it is great. The care and attention from all the staff makes everyone, humans and critters alike, feel at ease. This makes Central Valley Vet one of the best, if not the best, places in the county to take your critters. Pricing is very reasonable. Read Less

Being new to the area and getting a new puppy was a bit nerve wracking but after our first visit here, I know I’ve found the right place. The staff and Dr are always a pleasure. Thank you for taking such great care of Benelli ❤️ Read Less

The staff is friendly, professional, and helpful. Dr. FRED is kind, compassionate and patient. He explains what he's going to do for your pet. He's thorough.....and I really appreciate him and the staff..... Read Less

Dr Erickson is the best bet hands down. His prices are reasonable and he's honest. Takes care of your pet and is the best vet I've taken my pets to. Office staff is always kind and willing to go the extra mile to help. Read Less

As a child growing up in Los Banos, Dr. Erickson cared for all our family pets. I was so pleased to discover he now has a clinic in Chowchilla, that I didn't hesitate to make the drive from Merced, to take advantage of his services. His staff is efficient, and friendly, his prices, more than make up for the extra cost in gas to get there, and his care is, as always, is excellent.Read Less

This is by far the Best vet services our fur babies have ever received! The entire staff is awesome. My fur babies are comfortable going to see Dr Fred. He's amazing with them. Their prices are greatly less than other vet's we've been to. After we had a scare over one of our senior dog's. The staff called several times to check on his recovery. I can't say enough great things about them. I recommend them to EVERYONE.Read Less

Super friendly staff. Very kind and genuine people. My 9 year old chihuahua had oral surgery today, and they took great care of her. I had gone to a different vet to get an estimate and they wanted to charge me $1500 for everything. With Central Valley Veterinary they only charged me $215 for her surgery. They have very affordable prices! I saved over $1000. I could already see a huge (positive) difference in my dog as soon as we brought her home. I'm very glad I got a second opinion. Thanks to Lillian Zapian for the recommendation. Read Less

Excellent customer service. Chelsi is awesome! Clean facilities, little wait time and the staff is professional and very helpful. I think our veterinarian is Dr. Fred. He is very thorough and skilled at taking of our most precious family members. Prices are reasonable. I would recommend Central Veterinarian Clinic in Chowchilla to anyone looking for a veterinarian!

Thank you so much for getting our spot back to good health! He had little chance of survival when we we brought him in last week. We brought him home yesterday in much better shape on his way back to his old self thanks to your care and attention. We are very grateful and so impressed with you and your staff. Read Less

Fred, along with all the staff (Chelsea, Jolen, Johnathan, and Cassie) are awesome! Amazing how much they Care. I can't say enough great things about them! I'm so glad we've started coming here. I'll never go ANYWHERE else! Their prices can't be beat! The quality of caring they show my fur babies is awesome! One of the nicest things is that when both Gizmo and Dollar have been extremely sick. Someone always called to check up on them. Fred, isn't the type of Vet to run unnecessary tests ( which I'd experienced at other vet's). Wonderful place to go if you want the best for your fur babies and want to be treated like more than a dollar sign!Read Less

I will forever be grateful with Dr. Fred and the staff at this clinic. They went above and beyond to help my pups out especially with one that was very sick and wasnt going to make it. They worked hard and got him back to his healthy self. Everyone was so helpful and caring. Cassie is awesome! I will continue bringing my pets to this clinic. I Highly recommend them! Read Less

My sister took her cat in on an emergency basis, it was bleeding profusely from the mouth.I called to check on the cat and the treatment (as her resources were limited), and was told 2 different things, by 2 different people.  The first told me the animal was being observed, the 2nd that it was being treated (I was more likely to believe the 1st person, who was not exactly very friendly).  I explained that I had experience working in Vet medicine, and explained that my husband and I would pay the cost of treatment if we were given an estimate of all charges. We were told the Dr. would call us back. We waited.. We had to call back.  The Vet never called us as was promised (there was an emergency that came in, we were told.  What they meant was a customer without limited resources - this was before they knew we were paying). I was very angry and upset that I had not received a call, knowing the poor cat would get minimal treatment without financial backup.  When I explained that my husband and I WOULD cover the cost, as long as we were informed AHEAD OF TIME, (making very clear we would be paying with OUR credit card for ALL not some) but we did not want to get gouged with a crazy bill, the Dr. responded with indigence claiming he would NEVER do that. We got ONE call letting us know the cost to run a panel.  That was the only call.The Dr. told my sister what he would be doing over the next 2 days, never once giving any indication of additional costs or fees beyond what we were originally given. Making me think that maybe the hospital and staff were trying to make up for all the BS earlier....wrong.I call today to get the final bill and happily give my credit card details, only to be told they didn't have the total yet.  I asked the total up to this point (11am!) $156. Reasonable.  Several hours later, when I had not received a final bill, I called back to find the email had bounced back, but the woman had not noticed.  Not really a major problem, but when I finally did get the bill, I nearly hit the roof.  Not in the thousands or anything, but nearly $200 more than I was told just a few hour prior.  $200!  When NO OTHER FEES/CHARGES/TESTS had been authorized or cleared.  Not that I wouldn't have authorized them, but this is exactly what I was concerned would happen (Indignant response from Dr who would NEVER do that!)...and it did.  The first thing I was told in a very snotty manner, was that a lot of items weren't even charged! NONE of it should have been charged without consent!Then the finger pointing started.  My sister authorized the charges I was told.  She just happened to walk into the office, and sent me a msg assuring me no such thing took place.  Instead of calmly asking me to hold while she got the Dr./accounting/billing ANYONE who had any REAL info, she got argumentative and tried telling me that she thought I was only paying PART of the bill.  As if that was an excuse for the additional $200!This is the most unprofessional behavior.  Office AND Medical staff.  You lied to the person paying the bill, then tried to blame an innocent party (the animals owner).  Shame on YOU!  I can only imagine how your patients/clients with an emergency and no financial assistance get treated.  SHAME ON YOU!

Awesome staff! Affordable prices. Dr Erickson is very experienced. He will not make you do any unnecessary procedures. He cares about pets and is very considerate! You won't regret choosing him as your vet. Read Less

My dog Pepper was hit by a car, his hip dislocated, and several cuts and scrapes. Dr. Fred and staff made him better and Pepper is now almost back to his normal. Pepper had less anxiety with Dr. Fred then prior vets. We will definitely return. Read Less

I have been coming to this veterinarian since he opened his practice in Chowchilla. He is wonderful as is most of the staff however I do not like the way the lady at the front desk treats customers. She needs to be a little more personable. I am not the first to notice this. Read Less

Very poor veterinary practice. Literally let my friends dog die right in front of her because he didn't want to deal with him being slow to wake up from surgery. He sent her dog home still sedated, he had to be carried to the car. Then when he got home he quit breathing. 3 days later he's trying to blame the dogs death on the fact that he was a bully breed. Be responsible for your actions and show some remorse for letting life slip from a young pup!!! I'll never recommend anyone take their dog to this place ever! Read Less

We love this place!VERY Reasonable only $45 for a visit. My dogs LOVE the doctor! We had a great experience and will definitely come back! Doctor is VERY Informative & Personable. They have modern technology and friendly staff. Read Less

Awesome vet and staff. I am from Los Banos and I will drive to chowchilla just to take my fur-babies to Fred. He is awesome at what he does and there is no BS with him. I know when my pets are in his care they are in the best hands. Thanks for all the great work Fred and his teem puts in! Read Less

ok I love this place.  We are normal pet owners with 2 mutt dogs.  We have take one of our dogs in for very bad ear infections and I we don't have a lot of extra money to spend on dog vet bills.  They helped my dog both times with meds and basic instructions.  I did not cost me a fortune!!! the dr explained to me that he didn't think we need extra "test" or "cultures" because he could take a pretty educated guess from experience.  I was amazed because before they always try to get me to do extra in the past that i really cant afford.  It was wonderful.

Friendly staff, experienced doctors, clean, welcoming environment. I love everything about this place! As opposed to the huge amount of $$ spent at a previous vet clinic I reviewed I paid a total of less than $150 for a full round if puppy shots. A place that cares more about pets than money is a rare find these days and I am pleased to know that I found one here. It may be a small practice but with that you get personalized treatment by people who care about you and your animal Read Less
