You feel that your animals are in very capable hands. Dr. Kelly demonstrated an in depth knowledge of all the issues I raised with my cat and my 2 dogs and gave me options for helping them. You will appreciate her kind and intuitive calmness and the attentive, considerate staff. A great environment and great care for a reasonable price. Read Less

I have been taking our dogs here for at least ten years and LOVE the staff and Dr. Kelly! They have truly cared about our dogs and have given us no reason to have concerns regarding diagnosis and/or care. We highly recommend them! Here's our babies over the years...Read Less

Brought our Luckyboy here for the first time to get his nails trimmed and he loved the place and the people. Our Luckyboy is not the friendliest with strangers so we are very skeptic changing vets. But it was time to leave the other vet because they called our dog "Hitler" many times and it's not even funny anymore. Not to mention that our dog just hated the other vet (also around El Cajon). But this clinic is just amazing. Our dog wa relaxed and was not even scared for seeing new faces. Will definitely come back. I would've given 5 stars if their hours of operation is extended to weekends. Read Less

We are new to area. And was worried about finding a  vet that cares and loves our animals as much as we do. They do this and more. Listened to us and our worries. When I couldn't describe the noise our dog was making. She went on to Internet. Come to find out it was a reverse sneeze. They explained everything as they were doing it. Even brought us an itemized estimate to show what we could do now and what our options was. Very pleased with their professnalism and care. I thank them put our worries to rest. Read Less

Dr.Kelly is a really nice vet who takes time with her patients so that they feel comfortable with her. The vet techs that work there are amazing and it's easy to see that they love animals. The receptionists are always welcoming and they do whatever they can to fit you in when there is a problem with your pet. Dr.Kelly always offers me different treatment options and they are very open and honest about what should be done for your pet. I trust them with my dog and it's amazing because my dog walks right into their office with a wagging tail and is genuinely happy to see them. I highly recommend this vet clinic. Read Less

BEST. VET. EVER. Dr. Kelly and her staff genuinely care about the pets! We have been taking our two dogs here for over five years when we lived in El Cajon but unfortunately moved. However, we still drove 30 minutes here for our dog Terra who had cancer because our dog simply did not respond to other vets like she did with Dr. Kelly. Unfortunately, Terra passed away this year but we will never forget the care that she received by Dr. Kelly and her staff and we will forever be grateful! I only wish I could find a vet as great as her in our new neighborhood. Thank you! Read Less

I will not take my animals anywhere else unless they need emergency care. I have taken my animals to Dr. Kelly for close to 10 years and have stayed with Jamacha Veterinary Clinic even when we lived in North County! The staff are caring, intelligent, and are invested in the well being of your pets. Dr. Kelly is amazing. Not only is she knowledgeable, she is straight forward and will tell you all your options for the care of your animal. I have been to vets that try to get you to do excessive tests or interventions just to increase the bill. Dr. Kelly will give you all your options and suggest the best treatment, even if it is not the most expensive. Leanne and Dr. Kelly not only care about our pets, but they care for us as well. BEST VET EVER!!!!!!!! Read Less

Dr. Kelly and her staff are impeccable professionals! They are always friendly, knowledgeable, caring, compassionate and kind. You can't find a greater group of veterinary professionals! They have helped me and my cats in more ways than I can count. Love them! Read Less

I have 4 Labs and 2 weenies. I've been going to Jamacha Vet for YEARS!!! The staff is always very kind and helpful, not to mention funny, but my dogs and I always have a great experience. Dr. Kelly is very knowledgeable and thorough with her exams, and I've trusted her with every dog and cat I've owned. There are always lots of treats and caring techs for my fur babies, and there are other vets in the area I can frequent, but I'll stay with JV because of their consistency. JV, thanks for being there for us!Read Less

The staff is caring, attentive and knowledgeable. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else; I feel safe knowing my beloved furballs are getting the best care possible. They always go above and beyond getting to the root of any problem and getting it fixed no matter what. Read Less

Dr. Kelly is the best and her staff is beyond amazing too!I have a dachshund named Monty who has horrible allergies. He's gone to multiple vets in San Diego and all have been non-personal and non-helpful. I found Dr. Kelly because of her high Yelp rating and made an appointment for another opinion. I brought my puppy along for some socialization because she barks at everyone she sees. Dr. Kelly got on the floor with my dogs and introduced herself to them for a solid 10 minutes before even getting into the details. She spent almost a full hour with me that day and gave me multiple options for what we could do. Every other vet had just given him a steroid injection without looking into what was actually causing his allergies. Monty's problems aren't "fixed", he's a problem doggy and we've had to go back to the vet almost monthly for different things. Each time she spends time with us and has been helping me socialize Gertie. It's a small office and because she spends so much time on her exams it can take longer than I'm used to to get an appointment, which is really the only negative I can give, but she makes up for it with the time she spends on us. I think if it was an emergency she would squeeze us in. Overall, this is the best office I've taken my dogs to and even if we move out of the area I will commute to keep bringing them to her.

I cannot say enough good things about this excellent practice, but here are a quick few:1. Lobby: every time we walk in the door we are greeted in a very pleasant manner by the nice lady who works in the front. There is usually a vet tech also in the front desk area. These people are so friendly and offer great advice, always treat our pup with lots of affection. The puppy actually will walk right in the door without apprehension.2. Procedural Competency: The first few times we accompanied our pup into the examination room. On the very first visit, we met 3 Vet techs, and also Dr. Kelly, who stayed in there talking with us for a good 20 minutes, offering advice and explaining the reasons behind recommendations for treatments. This is greatly appreciated that she would take that amount of time out of her busy schedule to spend with us. They also taught me how to properly trim nails, and even went on Amazon in the exam room to tell me what clipper to buy. That first impression was just great, and on every follow up visit we have enjoyed the same treatment.3. Advice: On a visit to take blood work prior to a spay procedure, we accompanied our pup into the exam room. That visit ended up without blood being drawn because the pup was too excited. The staff explained to us that our presence in the room was the reason the pup acted this way. We re-scheduled for the following week. We waited outside, and just 5 minutes later, our pup came running out very chipper and eating treats. This practice was able to explain to us the reason we need to wait outside in a manner that was kindly delivered and helped us to understand why we don't need to be in there. On more than one occasion I have called to ask questions. In every instance, the nice lady mentioned in item 1 takes the time to talk to me, and will answer every question until I get it. I never feel like I am being rushed off the phone. That is very nice and greatly appreciated.4. Medical: We had our pup spayed yesterday. The staff gave us all the advice we need, some pain meds to take home, and even Dr. Kelly came to the lobby with our pup in her hands to give her back to us. That kind personal involvement delivers a powerful message that from the top down at this practice, they are running on all cylinders, to borrow an engine analogy. It is now the next day after the procedure, and I am very impressed when I look at the incision area, and the nice way it is so cleanly sutured. There is no swelling, no seepage, no redness. The job looks top notch to this lay person and our pup is acting more like her normal self today.  I am giving her the meds to keep her calm. She is giving no signs that there is pain, only a sad look about wearing the E-collar, but who wouldn't? She is a Shiba Inu, and normally bouncing off walls, or running around in the backyard chasing balls, birds, and anything else that moves back there. The meds are keeping her calm and comfortable, just like they told us would happen.In conclusion, we are more than happy with the care and treatment of our pup, and ourselves by the great people who make this practice very special. Thank You All very much. We are so glad we found you. Read Less

After trying several vets in the area for various doggie problems I think I have finally found my favorite. Dr. Kelly and her staff are amazing in every way that matters. The place is clean,the cost was reasonable, and the staff are great. I highly recommend. Read Less

Honestly the best vet experience I've had up to date. They were very friendly and sweet, not only to me but to my pups. They were attentive to my dog and gave me A LOT of great tips and hints to keep my puppy as healthy as possible. Not only that, I called the next day to talk to the front desk, and they were also VERY helpful and attentive. They gave me a lot of great information and weren't trying to rush me off like my past experiences at other vet clinics.  I would recommend them to anyone who loves their dogs and wants the best for them. Thank you guys so much!! Read Less

The best animal care in the world. Dr. Kelly and her staff are the most qualified, loving professionals in the county...in the world.I recommend this clinic to everyone I run into who has animals. Erin Harding Jones Read Less

Dr. Kelly and her staff are a rarity these days. Their customer service is outstanding. They are knowledgeable and professional. Their facility is clean and inviting. They care about our pets, remember our pets and us. They understand if you are on a budget, which is important if you are. They are prompt when you arrive for your appointment and can always get us in a timely manner. We never wait in the lobby. Our dogs love the treats. We highly recommend Jamacha Veterinary Clinic in El Cajon, CA. Lee Garcia Read Less

Today was a sad day, the kind of day nobody wants to face. We took our beloved 14 year old lab Priscilla in for a one way trip to the vet. As painful as it was Dr Kelly and the entire staff at Jamacha Veterinary was so kind and treated us as if we were their only patients they had that day. We had to bring our 4 year old lab with us because he has never been without Priscilla. They took us into a bright room that faced the outside and had natural light. There were already blankets laid out on the floor for her. Dr Kelly explained everything that would happen. She told us that we were welcome to stay as long as we wanted. She was so gracious as both my 19 year old son and I sobbed and said our goodbyes. We stayed until  the end and Priscilla left this world without pain and just went to sleep. If you find yourself at this point in life where you know that you must say goodbye to your beloved pet I would tell you without a doubt to go to Jamacha Vet. They also were the best priced out of anybody I called. Read Less

Today was our first visit here and it was a great experience. Everyone from the front desk to the back office was great and helpful. The Doctor was very knowledgable and gave me many options to help with my dogs ear condition. I didn't feel rushed or pushed to get certain procedures over others. Everything was explained clearly and in depth. My dog is very reserved when it comes to meeting others, but Leanne and Nikole did such an amazing job keeping her comfortable while they administered  medication into her ear. Thanks Jamacha Veterinary Clinic for a positive experience. Read Less

Dr Kelly and her amazing staff are all so kind and helpful!! They are always there for all the stages of your pets....we have 4 dogs and a cat in there tender care, all the way from puppies to old age. I don't know what our family would do without the great team at Jamacha Veterinary Clinic!! They are always available for routine care, emergencies and everything in between that comes with owning pets.  They are very fair with keeping costs down, which is important when owning and taking good care of your pets. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Kelly and her team to care for your pets.  I know my pets are given the VERY best care ever. Dr Kelly and her staff are so friendly and kind...I consider them my friends (and my pets do too)I wish there was a 10-star rating....that is what this vet clinic deserves! Read Less

I was a little apprehensive about the place when I first walked in.  the lobby was kind of tired and dated.  but after waiting for only a few minutes, we were being escorted to the "doctors office" by a very nice and enthusiastic woman that truly loved her job.  when my dog finally waddled in, it was as if the world had stopped outside and my dog was the only thing that mattered to anyone.  the vet spoke to us without using words that only other vets would understand.   she was kind, very attentive, and had provided us with more info than we could have ever wanted without being rushed.   if you need a vet - go to this place.

We have been taking our two German Shepherds, Bear and Daisy, to the jamacha vet clinic since 2010. They are true professionals for our needy dogs. Daisy does not like other animals, and they always accommodate getting her into a room right away. Bear is frightened of people, but the staff at the clinic are so patient with him. They are available on quick notice for emergencies and always offer lower cost solutions when possible.They are the best! Read Less

You get a free check up when getting your animal their vaccines. The staff really knows their stuff. They have Leo that cat, to help get your dog acquainted with cats. This is my go to vet. I really like this place. I was able to call and ask questions about my dog, they know her by name! Read Less

Dr. Kelly and all the staff are excellent! I was new to the area and had an emergency with my Bichon Frise of 11 yrs. I just walked in with no appt. and they saw us immediately. Dr. Kelly gave me a couple optiins regarding surgery. I didnt feel rushed, and knew Dr. had explained everything so I could make an informed decision. When I picked up my baby I could just see how well they had cared for him by the way he responded to them. Eventually my baby went to "rainbow bridge" and again at a very emotional time the entire staff were so caring, sensitive and professional.  If you need a down to earth, knowledgeable, caring vet, I strongly recommend this clinic !

The staff and vets here are sooooo terrific with my kitties. The wait time is short, and the exams are very thorough. My dad doesn't speak the best English, but the staff  are always very kind and patient when explaining what's happening with our pets to him. They're also great at keeping my cats calm throughout their check-ups. My cats have had all their annual exams here and even one gum cleaning procedure for a gingivitis issue.  Everything always goes great without a hitch.I also really love how they keep this super chill fat cat underneath one of the cupboards. I think its name is Leo; it's really adorable and friendly around other cats. Read Less

I recently had to take my 13 !/2 year old blue healer to Dr. Kelly when he became suddenly ill. I knew the news wasn't going to be good. He was in heart failure and I made the horrible decision to let him go. Dr. Kelly and her staff embraced me like I had been going there forever, when in reality this was my first visit. They were patient, so kind, so loving to me and Toby. They gave us time, consideration and so much empathy and understanding. It was the hardest day of my life, but with the staff's help I made all of the right decisions and they let me take all of the time I needed to be with him. It was quiet and still and beyond my comprehension. I made the decision to bury him myself, and when I return several hours later to pick him up, they lovingly had placed him in a blanket inside a bag and wrapped him in the blanket I brought with me. His moments leaving this earth were much greater because of the beautiful treatment he and I both received. I will forever be indebted to this beautiful staff of women. Thank You one and all!!!
