Began taking my dogs here when Dr. Aaron Porterfield, DVM joined the practice. My pet owner friends and I have followed him for years, as he's a Relief Vet with no primary location of practice. We keep tabs on which clinic he's currently working at, so we've taken our pets from San Diego all the way to El Cajon. Bastet Veterinary by far is our all time favorite! The assistants along with Kathy the Office Mgr are kind and very attentive, they really care about their 2 and 4 legged clients! Difficult to find anymore since many clinics are only focused on the $$$$ aspect and not personal service. Everytime I've been there the waiting room seems to have people who've been going there for years, that's always a great sign.
My two dog babies Dylan (Golden Ret) and Rufus (Rotti X) are both older boys, 9 and 12 yrs respectively. I've been very blessed with both being healthy, but as age creeps up so have the senior dog ailments. Teeth, skeletal issues, cysts and recently stomach problems have brought us out to see Dr. Porterfield at Bastet Vet. The boys are always calm and relaxed when going there, a fantastic sign for any pet owner. Dr. Porterfield truly loves his profession and always greets the boys with love and affection. He's extremely tuned into them and always keeps me informed of the best course of treatment. Mind you, over the years with at least 2 dogs and 3 cats in the house, Dr. Porterfield has been our savior on many occasion. He's also treated my cats and unfortunately had to put my favorite one down several years ago. I couldn't have asked for a more kind and caring person to assist my Peanut in crossing over.
As animal lovers we want the best for our animals, they're members of the family. It's often times difficult to find a veterinarian with staff you ultimately trust with your pets lives, since they can't talk and tell you who they would prefer &/or choose. Dr. Porterfield is a rare breed on his own. Instinctively he knows what needs to be addressed and always show the utmost professionalism and compassion, something not easily found, if not virtually impossible anymore.
Since finding Bastet Vet Clinic I'm extremely blessed to not only have Dr. Porterfield but also the best pet clinic around San Diego. It's a drive out there, but well worth it! Read Less
