Beckwith Veterinary Hospital
Modesto, California
General Info
The intricate examination of pet spatial navigation within appointments by Beckwith Veterinary Hospital underpins its veterinary services in Modesto which families throughout California appreciate. Initial visits frequently start within a minimal-distraction zone which allows the pet to either explore or become comfortable. Staff members observe potential indicators through careful monitoring of tail position pawing behavior and sound reactivity. In physical examinations veterinarians assess coat condition along with pulse rate and hydration levels while also checking jaw symmetry and gait patterns as well as the pet's response to close proximity. Every minor aspect receives attention when dealing with animals unfamiliar to medical settings or those with previous trauma or handling resistance. Beckwith Veterinary Hospital delivers diagnostic services alongside surgery planning while offering wellness exams and mobility tracking together with parasite prevention and breed-informed wellness forecasting. Care plans develop at a pace determined by the pet's responsiveness to touch and routine alterations along with clinic environmental signals such as lighting transitions between rooms and sound levels. The feature proves particularly beneficial for pet-owning families whose members either show reluctance in social environments or excel through repetitive activities. Follow-up procedures have been engineered to align with the specific timetable of each household while accommodating the innate patterns of their pets. Every decision comes with detailed explanations and step-by-step reasoning which transforms owners from passive observers into active participants in their pet's healthcare management. Beckwith Veterinary Hospital presents Modesto pet owners and those in nearby California areas with a care structure founded on attention, rhythm, and shared understanding which makes each visit unfold naturally and calmly.

I have been going to this vet for many years, to include when their primary location was on Maze Blvd. For the past several years I have grown increasingly dissatisfied with their service. They don't keep appointment times.... EVER. Even if you show up early, expect to wait 15-30 minutes after your appointment time to be seen. The final nail in the coffin was my most recent visit. I received a courtesy notice advising me one of my pets needed vaccinations. After arriving 15 minutes prior to my appointment and waiting 20 minutes after my appointment time, I learned the vaccination notice was sent in error. I expect more from a vet of Beckwith's caliber. I will no longer be using Beckwith from now on.

We have had many vets over the years with our 2 dogs and cat. Beckwith is by far the best place and the only place we will take our animals now. We actually travel all the way from Sacramento because Dr Chad is the best. They truly care about your animals and they extremely reasonably priced. You never leave feeling broke and bamboozled. You leave feeling educated on your animals!

Dr. Mike is very gracious and takes the time to answer my questions and give me information about any issues. He is great at teaching me what to look for when checking my pets at home. The staff is always friendly and helpful. This is the best vet experience I have ever had and I will continue to bring my pets here.

Family client for over 20 years. It didn't matter that we were longtime clients when a pet actually was dying...not just needing routine care. Apparently when you go in for emergency care you are stuck with that doctor instead of the normal vet you want for the duration of the sickness. Understanding when it's an emergency the pet gets who is available but We were told we were stuck with that vet the whole sickness, however long that was for surgery etc. Vet office also made sick vomiting dog wait in the car for about 4 hours before even allowing dog to come into the office...while it was on standby. The vet we were stuck with did not explain things well. Simply ran expensive tests and treatments. Went to another local vet after this experience that explained things well and observed my dog while giving him loving care and effective medicine and saved his life. Not just slapping in an iv.

We were using another vet and everytime were dissatisfied with their service. We decided to give Beckwith Veterinary Hospital a call. They helped me set up our information and scheduled an apppintment the next day. The staff was very excited when greeting our French bulldog (granted most people are, he's adorable). But what really impressed me was the vets knowledge and actual willingness to give me information. Something I have never received at our previous vet. Even though the nurse kept telling him he has another appointment set up in the other room, he stayed back and answered all my questions. Very professional. I will 100% be using this hospital from now on. Very happy.

This place was amazing today from the second we checked in, he looked at our chart and was like I'm so sorry this day is rough we will get you into a private room asap. Then they made it very easy and explained very detailed of what we were doing to our dog, it was comforting knowing we had people that genially seemed to care about us and our bubba. It was so sad leaving without our dog today but knowing he's in good hands until we return for his ashes made me feel better. I would recommend this place for sure. It was nice to feel comfort from strangers, thank you Alex, Ashley and Pamela

The last few years, I have moved around a lot causing my pup to see different vets. She's always been "snippy" at office visits. We first came to Beckwith Vet 3months ago based on a friend's recommendation. It was just a general check up and to update her shots...she was so well behaved I was shocked. We had to go today for a cut on her foot. Again she was perfect in the exam room. It's because of the doctors and staff that genuinely love and care for the animals. We've seen Dr Pamela and I believe it was Bennett (sorry, I didn't catch your name!) both times. Such calm personalities and just a good vibe in the office environment. I am so thankful to have found such an amazing office where my pup feels safe!

I can't believe I've never written a review on this amazing place! I've been bringing my pets here for over 20 years. First to the Maze location and now to Beckwith. Dr. Mike O'Brien is not only an exceptional Doctor, but is also a wonderful kind hearted and compassionate human being. We've shed many a tear together over the passing of some of my fur babies, who thanks to Dr. O'Brien and his amazing staff, lived long joyful lives. I've now had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Chad O'Brien and Dr. Chatfield and they have been terrific as well. My Corgi loves Dr. Chad! I can't imagine taking my furry friends anywhere else. Every employee I've ever encountered has been caring, professional, informative and genuine. From the people who answer the phone and greet you in the lobby to the Dr's and Techs and the folks who check you out, they truly convey a passion for their job and a committment to their clients. Thank you Maze & Beckwith Veterinary Hospitals for giving us peace of mind when caring for our beloved pets.

I do love the doctors here but if you ever took your pets to maze animal hospital you will see a difference. At Beckwith, they are so impersonal. You don't get to know any of the vet techs, the dr's don't walk out with you, They just talk to you about the facts. It makes me sad. Dr. Jenny is still my favorite . But At Maze, Dr. Jenny knew all my pets names and she would let my pit follow her around the office. She also took time to show my daughter around the back area. I was recently at Maze and dr. Michael O'Brien came out from his office to say hi. He asked about my furry children and just spend like 5minutes talking. That's what I'm talking about!!!

I stumbled across this vet office when I was searching for a vet to operate on my girl Pebble rear leg. I've had a primary vet for all my furbabies so I was hesitant about this office. Needless to say I think this practice is awesome. Pebbles loves Dr Chad. He plays with her and when she hears his voice she knows who's coming in to see her. I just brought Shelby in and met Dr Ann. She explained everything and I was completely satisfied. My pets are my family so I'm glad to find a vet I trust and the prices are competitive with state of the art equipment.

Today, I took my two kittens over for their first vet appointment. One needed tests and a microchip and the other needed a shot. The vet, Dr Pam and vet tech Stephanie treated my cats like royalty. They both provided knowledge, listened to my concerns and most importantly are true animal lovers, which unfortunately isn't always the case with animal care providers They were both fantastic. One kitty was very scared at first but they were able to put him at ease.The facility is comfortable and the appointment process is easy.Several months ago, I brought my beloved, 14 year old very sick, cat here to be put down.

I have brought my dog here since it opened. Sometimes I think things in Modesto are second rate, so I recently took my dog to Bay Area for a surgery. It cost me literally 3x as much as doing it here and the results were likely the same. Now my dog faces a new challenge and the O'Briens (both) have taken a lot of time for me and my dog. I'm very grateful. One downside of the hospital is there is no night staff, so your pet has to go to the emergency vet on Prescott if it requires night care. ( and that's expensive!)

We had kind of defaulted into caring for 2 pups with terminal "conditions." Not exactly diseases, but few pups with that particular condition ever make it past 5 or 6 months. With the help of BVH, and a LOT of TLC, we were able to enjoy the loving company of these pups until just over 2 years old. But the time we have with -any- dog is all too short, and when it came time to take them over the Rainbow Bridge, Dr. Jenny Chatfield was there to help both them and us. I've had A LOT of dogs over the past 30+ years, and I have :never: had a vet that was as compassionate and understanding of both the animal's needs and ours. How do you show that much love to strangers of both Canid & Hominid? Dr. Jenny knows. The entire staff (that we have worked with) do truly seem to have our pets' best interest in heart. Truly "from Cradle to Grave." If it ever in my power to do so, I come to BVH for ALL my veterinary needs, be they Serious, Maintenance or Reproductive. We are a Beckwith Family.

I have lived in several states in several cities (Chicago, Las Vegas, etc.) and I've also lived in different countries, so I feel very confident in saying that finding a veterinarian who is as caring and competent is a rare find. Not only is Dr. Chad (both father and son), caring and competent, but their hospital is run very professionally. I really appreciate how they strive to make you feel that your animal is very important. My daughter, who lives in Chicago, does everything she can to bring her dog to see him. I can't say enough great things about Beckwith and it's staff. Anyone says differently is the kind of person that would NOT be happy with any service from any veterinarian.

They were great to work with, kept you informed, took good care of our dog while he was there.

We love this veterinary hospital. Our first visit was yesterday. We went in with our very sick rat terrier Bones.The staff at Beckwith Veterinary treated us with the utmost compassion and professionalism. Doctor Jenny Chatfield and her nurse Lori immediately understood that our dog was in dire need of treatment. They promptly identified his issues and treated him accordingly. They explained all his issues and came up with a treatment plan. Lori showed us how to administer his medication and fed him since he had not eaten in two days. We can't thank them enough. They are very sincere in their concern for their patients. We will remain with this vet. Bones is doing better thanks to Beckwith Veterinary. Thank you soon much Doctor Chatfield and Lori and all the staff.

They don't keep appointment times.... EVER. Even if you show up early, expect to wait 15-30 minutes after your appointment time to be seen. The final nail in the coffin was my most recent visit. I received a courtesy notice advising me one of my pets needed vaccinations. After arriving 15 minutes prior to my appointment and waiting 20 minutes after my appointment time, I learned the vaccination notice was sent in error. I expect more from a vet of Beckwith's caliber. I will no longer be using Beckwith from now on.

We have had many vets over the years with our 2 dogs and cat. Beckwith is by far the best place and the only place we will take our animals now. We actually travel all the way from Sacramento because Dr Chad is the best. They truly care about your animals and they extremely reasonably priced. You never leave feeling broke and bamboozled. You leave feeling educated on your animals!

The doctors and staff at Beckwith are top notch. They care about my pets and are very attentive to their needs. Dr. Mike is very gracious and takes the time to answer my questions and give me information about any issues. He is great at teaching me what to look for when checking my pets at home. The staff is always friendly and helpful. This is the best vet experience I have ever had and I will continue to bring my pets here.

Beckwith Animal Hospital far exceeded my expectations. Shout out to DR. PAM she is so awesome. She told us more in one 15 minute visit then our other vet told us ever. The staff was so caring. I really expected to come out of there having payed a lot also and that is not the case. They were very fair and reasonable. I can't thank Beckwith hospital and Dr. Pam enough for the service we received. I will always recommend you guys.

Family client for over 20 years. It didn't matter that we were longtime clients when a pet actually was dying...not just needing routine care. Apparently when you go in for emergency care you are stuck with that doctor instead of the normal vet you want for the duration of the sickness. Understanding when it's an emergency the pet gets who is available but We were told we were stuck with that vet the whole sickness, however long that was for surgery etc. Vet office also made sick vomiting dog wait in the car for about 4 hours before even allowing dog to come into the office...while it was on standby. The vet we were stuck with did not explain things well. Simply ran expensive tests and treatments. Went to another local vet after this experience that explained things well and observed my dog while giving him loving care and effective medicine and saved his life. Not just slapping in an iv.

We were using another vet and everytime were dissatisfied with their service. We decided to give Beckwith Veterinary Hospital a call. They helped me set up our information and scheduled an apppintment the next day. The staff was very excited when greeting our French bulldog (granted most people are, he's adorable). But what really impressed me was the vets knowledge and actual willingness to give me information. Something I have never received at our previous vet. Even though the nurse kept telling him he has another appointment set up in the other room, he stayed back and answered all my questions. Very professional. I will 100% be using this hospital from now on. Very happy.

This place was amazing today from the second we checked in, he looked at our chart and was like I'm so sorry this day is rough we will get you into a private room asap. Then they made it very easy and explained very detailed of what we were doing to our dog, it was comforting knowing we had people that genially seemed to care about us and our bubba. It was so sad leaving without our dog today but knowing he's in good hands until we return for his ashes made me feel better. I would recommend this place for sure. It was nice to feel comfort from strangers, thank you Alex, Ashley and Pamela

The last few years, I have moved around a lot causing my pup to see different vets. She's always been "snippy" at office visits. We first came to Beckwith Vet 3months ago based on a friend's recommendation. It was just a general check up and to update her shots...she was so well behaved I was shocked. We had to go today for a cut on her foot. Again she was perfect in the exam room. It's because of the doctors and staff that genuinely love and care for the animals. We've seen Dr Pamela and I believe it was Bennett (sorry, I didn't catch your name!) both times. Such calm personalities and just a good vibe in the office environment. I am so thankful to have found such an amazing office where my pup feels safe!

I can't believe I've never written a review on this amazing place! I've been bringing my pets here for over 20 years. First to the Maze location and now to Beckwith. Dr. Mike O'Brien is not only an exceptional Doctor, but is also a wonderful kind hearted and compassionate human being. We've shed many a tear together over the passing of some of my fur babies, who thanks to Dr. O'Brien and his amazing staff, lived long joyful lives. I've now had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Chad O'Brien and Dr. Chatfield and they have been terrific as well. My Corgi loves Dr. Chad! I can't imagine taking my furry friends anywhere else. Every employee I've ever encountered has been caring, professional, informative and genuine. From the people who answer the phone and greet you in the lobby to the Dr's and Techs and the folks who check you out, they truly convey a passion for their job and a committment to their clients. Thank you Maze & Beckwith Veterinary Hospitals for giving us peace of mind when caring for our beloved pets.

I do love the doctors here but if you ever took your pets to maze animal hospital you will see a difference. At Beckwith, they are so impersonal. You don't get to know any of the vet techs, the dr's don't walk out with you, They just talk to you about the facts. It makes me sad. Dr. Jenny is still my favorite . But At Maze, Dr. Jenny knew all my pets names and she would let my pit follow her around the office. She also took time to show my daughter around the back area. I was recently at Maze and dr. Michael O'Brien came out from his office to say hi. He asked about my furry children and just spend like 5minutes talking. That's what I'm talking about!!!

I stumbled across this vet office when I was searching for a vet to operate on my girl Pebble rear leg. I've had a primary vet for all my furbabies so I was hesitant about this office. Needless to say I think this practice is awesome. Pebbles loves Dr Chad. He plays with her and when she hears his voice she knows who's coming in to see her. I just brought Shelby in and met Dr Ann. She explained everything and I was completely satisfied. My pets are my family so I'm glad to find a vet I trust and the prices are competitive with state of the art equipment.

Today, I took my two kittens over for their first vet appointment. One needed tests and a microchip and the other needed a shot. The vet, Dr Pam and vet tech Stephanie treated my cats like royalty. They both provided knowledge, listened to my concerns and most importantly are true animal lovers, which unfortunately isn't always the case with animal care providers They were both fantastic. One kitty was very scared at first but they were able to put him at ease.The facility is comfortable and the appointment process is easy.Several months ago, I brought my beloved, 14 year old very sick, cat here to be put down. They treated both cat and I with care, dignity and respect. Great place.

I have brought my dog here since it opened. Sometimes I think things in Modesto are second rate, so I recently took my dog to Bay Area for a surgery. It cost me literally 3x as much as doing it here and the results were likely the same. Now my dog faces a new challenge and the O'Briens (both) have taken a lot of time for me and my dog. I'm very grateful. One downside of the hospital is there is no night staff, so your pet has to go to the emergency vet on Prescott if it requires night care. ( and that's expensive!)

We had kind of defaulted into caring for 2 pups with terminal "conditions." Not exactly diseases, but few pups with that particular condition ever make it past 5 or 6 months. With the help of BVH, and a LOT of TLC, we were able to enjoy the loving company of these pups until just over 2 years old. But the time we have with -any- dog is all too short, and when it came time to take them over the Rainbow Bridge, Dr. Jenny Chatfield was there to help both them and us. I've had A LOT of dogs over the past 30+ years, and I have :never: had a vet that was as compassionate and understanding of both the animal's needs and ours. How do you show that much love to strangers of both Canid & Hominid? Dr. Jenny knows. The entire staff (that we have worked with) do truly seem to have our pets' best interest in heart. Truly "from Cradle to Grave." If it ever in my power to do so, I come to BVH for ALL my veterinary needs, be they Serious, Maintenance or Reproductive. We are a Beckwith Family.

I have lived in several states in several cities (Chicago, Las Vegas, etc.) and I've also lived in different countries, so I feel very confident in saying that finding a veterinarian who is as caring and competent is a rare find. Not only is Dr. Chad (both father and son), caring and competent, but their hospital is run very professionally. I really appreciate how they strive to make you feel that your animal is very important. My daughter, who lives in Chicago, does everything she can to bring her dog to see him. I can't say enough great things about Beckwith and it's staff. Anyone says differently is the kind of person that would NOT be happy with any service from any veterinarian.

The 2 Dr. O'Briens did ACL reconstructive surgery on our dog 2 years ago. At this point no one could tell he ever had surgery. He runs and plays totally unaffected by it. They were great to work with, kept you informed, took good care of our dog while he was there. I know as the dog ages he will probably develop arthritis in that knee but for right now that knee is as good as new. If he ever needs the other knee done I would not hesitate one moment before taking him there again.A Rossetti

We love this veterinary hospital. Our first visit was yesterday. We went in with our very sick rat terrier Bones.The staff at Beckwith Veterinary treated us with the utmost compassion and professionalism. Doctor Jenny Chatfield and her nurse Lori immediately understood that our dog was in dire need of treatment. They promptly identified his issues and treated him accordingly. They explained all his issues and came up with a treatment plan. Lori showed us how to administer his medication and fed him since he had not eaten in two days. We can't thank them enough. They are very sincere in their concern for their patients. We will remain with this vet. Bones is doing better thanks to Beckwith Veterinary. Thank you soon much Doctor Chatfield and Lori and all the staff.
