Abbey clinic for pets

El Cajon, California
General Info
The clinic has been serving the El Cajon area since 1987. Our philosophy is simple- treat everyone the way we ourselves would like to be treated and treat their pets the way we would like our own to be treated.
The clinic is relaxed and casual. We provide full-service veterinary care including basic preventative care, medicine, radiology, and surgery.
By keeping our overhead down we have been able to keep our fees reasonable.
Please feel free to e-mail or call if you have any questions.
Thanks,
W.J. Kelly, DVM

I thought Dr. Kelley was kind and concerned for my pets until he disagreed with me on if I should bring my cat in or not. He decided there wasn't anything more to say and hung up on me. When I tried to call back he wouldn't answer his phone until the 5th time I called. He then told me to go see someone else. Very rude man and unprofessional. He discussed another client with me and complained and spoke very poorly about her in front of me. That's not ok to speak about a client to another client. I will not be returning and I would recommend to anyone to not go here. So disappointing. Read Less

I switched to Dr. Kelly from another larger (and atrociously expensive) local animal hospital earlier last year on recommendation from a friend, and I am so happy I did! Dr. Kelly has a genuine concern for his patients and treats them as his own. I never have to worry about Dr. Kelly recommending unnecessary procedures just to make a buck, which I have unfortuntaley experienced at most other vet clinics I've used. He's a one-man show, for the most part, to keep costs down so he can continue offering the affordable prices he does. He's experienced, knowledgeable, and honest, so I'll be a customer of his until the day he decides to retire. Read Less

Dr. Kelly is wonderful! He was recommended by a friend and although we loved our previous Vet, after moving to the area, we wanted one closers to home so we decided to give him a try. We will never switch again. He's down to earth, knows his patients, no nonsense, and is in it for the animals not the money. Dr. Kelly has won our patronage for good. Read Less

If you want to know that your pet is getting great care, look no further. My dog was barely able to walk. Several other vets said it was back problems, dachshunds always have back problems. A blood test showed she had an infection. Antibiotics did the trick. Two years later, still walking fine and still seeing Dr Kelly when necessary. Read Less

Dr. Kelly is the best, I have taken 2 sets of cats to him since 1987 and he has been completely honest and affordable. He sincerely wants to help you and your pets to be in the best shape they can be. When one of my cats got really sick in the middle of the night I had to take him to another vet that was open all night, they were more interested in me signing their fee schedule before they would look at him, than they were in helping my cat. The bill was really high. So the next day I took him back to Dr Kelly and he figured out what was wrong right away with just a blood test. I won't go to any other vet as long as he is open for business, and neither should you. Thanks Dr. Kelly for being there for me when all my pets need a little extra help. Blessings, Joni Read Less

I've been bringing my dogs to Dr. Kelly for over 6 years and have total confidence in his knowledge, skill, and honesty. When faced with treatment options, he tells me what he would do if it were his own pet, and is honest and direct about how practical various options are. One of my dogs had severe allergies and was covered in itchy bumps constantly, but with Dr. Kelly's diagnosis and treatment, his bumps are completely gone and we can all sleep at night without the maddening biting and scratching noises that kept us up. He is a laid back vet with an exceptional understanding of vet medicine and a relaxed old school approach which makes visits to his clinic not only helpful but fun. Read Less

I have done business with Dr Kelly for many years. He has always treated me with courtesy and professionalism. Recently, I tried other clinics that were more convenient to my work. When my little dog got sick and was virtually unable to walk (after visiting 2 veterinarians), I went back to Dr Kelly. After 4 months of treatment and another 8 months of recovery, she is back to normal. Dr Kelly has a no nonsense approach to making your animal well again. Then, there is plenty of time for nonsense and the personal touch afterward.Read Less

Don't bother even calling. I detailed and described the dog that I just rescued and asked how much it would cost to have her spayed and shots be given. The guy wouldn't give me an answer and said that I'd have to bring the dog in to get an estimate. I asked what the normal rate or guestimate is for an animal in the same breed and weight class, and again he rudely said to come down and get an estimate. Why? My dog isn't a freaking car or commadity a$$hole. I've had 4 other places give me price. What? Want to lure me over there and milk as much as you can out of someone? Why even have a phone if you're not willing to communicate prices? No wonder the prick works with animals and not humans. Read Less

Dr. Kelly has been treating my family's dogs for years, and we are consistently impressed with the care they receive. He treats the animals effectively and with care, diagnosing problems quickly and resolving them with ease. Treatments are always explained to us, and if there are options he is always very transparent about what is involved, and we trust his judgement and recommendations completely because of this.Issues that other vets complicate and require extensive testing and guesswork, Dr. Kelly is able to understand, explain, and resolve with professional simplicity. For our dog's irritated skin, he simply changed their diet and now they are healthier than ever with perfect skin and coats. Other vets required testing and recommended ointments and shampoos, etc., none of which solved the problem. His prices are also the best we've found, and for the care both pets and people receive in his clinic, I would not hesitate to say Dr. Kelly and his Clinic are the best value in town. I recommend him to every San Diego pet owner I meet.. Read Less
