Dr. Jameson has been the preferred vet for my dogs. He is straight forward and to the point. I had 2 of my awesome dogs get cancer and he was the only vet who was honest. I was given many hopes with huge bills but he was the one who broke it down and allowed me not to stress my dogs with procedure after procedure and save thousands of dollars which many caring dog owners are willing to spend.

LOVE Dr. Jameson.  He's a great vet and calls back promptly.  He has Saturday hours and very good rates.  We were paying almost double for everything -- visits, shots, prescription flea treatment -- at another Oakland cat vet.  He recommends homeopathic remedies rather than drugs. He can be sardonic (as in skeptically humorous), which I like, but he's never mean. Read Less

I was very impressed with my experience here.  We had been looking for a new vet and wanted something in Oakland.  Dr. Jameson was very thorough and struck me as very knowledgeable of his craft. I feel very comfortable bring my Belgian Malinois to this vet. Read Less

My dog was in desperate need of finding a vet to help her with an ongoing problem she was facing for over a year. I came here recommended by someone I met in the area where we had just moved into. The office is a two person operation clinic. Easy to get, park and good if you have an animal that don't want to be around a bunch of other animals waiting in a room. Lady in the front desk was also nice.Dr Jameson spoke and moved in a quiet manner. Didn't try to make eye contact or interact with me at all.  When I thanked him that first visit for the time he'd spent with us, he said "don't worry I am charging for it" while walking away from us and yes he did charge the extra time. I thought, "ok, he got a sense of humor" I had made a couple jokes myself trying to make the situation less unpleasant but I don't think he found any humor in anything I said. So I tried to just stick to not saying much at all in the other visits. I tried to like him but found him condescending and he lacked empathy. After blood work, ex-rays  and a bunch of money and time spent with him for no real diagnosis and seeing my dog suffer everyday I decided enough of that non-sense after a month or so.  After all the one thing I asked them was a copy of the X-ray which they made it super hard to get a copy of after I had found another doctor. They refused to send it my e-mail. The last time I called to check on something else they hang up on me so I did not want to go there anymore. The copy of the X-ray could only be sent by  fax then and when the fax came through not much was visible. We ended up having to do other tests in the other clinic. I found  Dr. Mary Leeking from The Good Samaritan was the hope I had been looking for. My dog was was diagnosed with pancreatitis and almost died from it. If I had kept insisting with him I am pretty sure she would not be with us today. If your dog is sick and hurting everyday like mine was don't settle for wrong diagnosis. Read, research, call other places ask questions and keep looking! Read Less

Dr. Jameson is awesome. He definitely takes time to explain to you what is going on with your pet. I found him on Yelp after a terrible experience with another veterinarian. I had another vet ask me to pay for some very expensive test on my cat in order to get spayed. When I brought her to Dr. Jameson, he said she didn't need any test and they would spay her, no prob. He was so nice through all of it and he definitely saved me money and stress from the other place. Read Less

Nothing but a great experience coming in and coming out. The doctor was super professional, just a genuine REAL person. We originally were about to take her into a vet that was giving us the possibility of paying an obscene amount of money or the option to put her down. Luckily we found this practice and they were able to give our big baby another chance! Thank you so much. You all truly are the best! Thank you for saving my baby Read Less

Wonderful place, Doctor, service. Dr Jameson is super communicative, calm and honest. Last year he cared for one of our cats... helping us through her difficult final months on earth. We just adopted two kittens from a shelter... and, without hesitation we are about to set up their first check ups with Dr Jameson and his fine staff. Read Less

Overall TERRIBLE experience and will never go back.The vet is condescending and tried to push unnecessary anesthesia on our dog. He talks to you like you're an idiot that takes bad care of your dog. He asks questions in a way to try and make you feel bad for things that aren't your fault. He tried to have us leave our dog to get out under anesthesia for a minor ear infection. He said the dog had to me put under in order to trim the ear hair which IS NOT TRUE. He didn't even want to figure out what the infection is like a real doctor would. Just wanted to take our money and put our dog through unnecessary trauma.Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Read Less

Walking into Plaza Vet Hospital literally made me cry!  I was greeted at the door by Sharifa (sp) who was the Vet Tech at my previous vet (retired).  I was SO HAPPY to see her...she is truly a dog whisperer!  Dr. Jameson is is simply the best.  He was kind, answered all my questions and handled Brutus beautifully!  Brutus likes him!  His prices are also great!  I'm so very happy I found him!

A three star review because I think he's probably technically a good vet, but I'll never go back. He was among the most condescending men I've ever interacted with. I also didn't get the feeling that he liked dogs the way he interacted with mine. I thought it might just be an off day for him, but I just ran into a very sweet neighbor who went to him too. English is not her first language. She said he was rude and dismissive of her questions, that he never made eye contact. She said she left his office feeling horrible and has also vowed not to put herself through that again.The glowing reviews leave me baffled, I wish we'd seen this caring doctor written about. On the plus side I'm glad he's not always condescending to women who have animals in need. Read Less

I love Dr. Jameson! He is the epitome of what a vet should be. Thorough, but does not pad the bill with unnecessary tests and procedures . When patients come all the way from Sacramento to the Oakland hills, that speaks volumes to me. Very reasonable cost. Read Less

I moved out of the Oakland Hills, and because of distance quit seeing Dr. Jameson. Biggest mistake ever. I now drive well over an hour each way to take my pups to him, and it's worth every bit of time and gas it takes. He recently added an assistant, Sharifa, and she is so completely fantastic as well. Basically, he sees my pets, diagnoses them correctly without running a lot of unnecessary tests, and gets them feeling better in a short amount of time without draining my bank account. For a while I was paying over twice as much for less than half the care, and that'll never happen again. That's the general greatness, here's a story about Pickles. Pickles is a 12 y/o mini dachshund, she developed a very quickly growing mass on her breast. It's cancer, and Dr Jameson is worried about surgery because of her having a bad heart, her age, and obesity. So we wait it out, and get ready to say our goodbyes. Things get worse, we call him and discuss the options. We opt for surgery, knowing she could pass on the table. She comes out of it in great shape! The scar is barely visible, her attitude and general demeanor is better than it's been in years. He even clipped away the excess stomach skin from the weight she lost, and it looked like a tummy tuck. She's still going strong, but we know it's only a matter of time until the cancer comes back. But Dr Jameson is the only vet I'll feel confident in treating her when the time comes. Read Less

My dog had a growth on his eyelid that needed to be removed. We came from San Ramon to go to Dr. Jameson as we had heard of his reputation. He was very reasonably priced, and did an exceedingly excellent job. I was expecting to see a scar or divot where the growth was removed, but it looks as if it was never there. Dr. Jameson took the effort to make sure the result was not only medically sound, but aesthetically appealing as well. Read Less

I move to the area just a month ago, and did not have a vet in the east bay area when my elderly cat started showing obvious pain that wasn't passing. After searching around,  I finally came across Plaza, and I'm very glad i did. Reminds me of my farm vets where I grew up - honest,  understanding,  but practical as well.  There wasn't a need for an x ray,  so it wasn't suggested until AFTER I had paid in a "if you ever want to see that hip. .." I wasn't pushed into expensive upsells, and was given practical advice, PLUS, doc fit me in same day! Finally finding a vet in the bay area I like is huge,  my animals will be going here from now on!

I took my 5 month old Shorkweenie (Shorkie/Mini-Dachshund mix) to Dr. Jameson for her spay after reading the other Yelp reviews, and I must say that my experience lived up to the reviews. Dr. Jameson is very friendly but professional and does not push procedures or pad his bill.  His fees are extremely reasonable, especially for the area. He has excellent rapport with both pets and pet parents. When I was there, another client came in with his dog, all the way from Sacramento. The fact that someone will drive a couple of hours one way to see Dr. Jameson speaks volumes to me. I would highly recommend Dr. Jameson. Read Less

Dr. Jameson provides thoughtful care, he doesn't panic or make you panic, doesn't push unnecessary procedures, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.  Calm, collected and mindful of the big picture.  My kind of doctor. Read Less

Dr. Jameson has been a friend of the family for a long time, so this is my first visit today and with a very sick and aging family Dog.. His diagnosis was very close even without any testing !  I would recommend Dr.Jameson to anyone.. Read Less

My cat had visited a few vets for her annual exam before meeting Dr. Jameson. On sight (and after feeling her thyroid), he suggested I get her thyroid checked out. Wow. He was right, she was later diagnosed with hyperthyroid. He was caring, professional,  and caught a diagnosis the other two places did not. A good Dr. is hard to come by. I'm a fan. Read Less

So the bubbie bears has a few problems. Just moved here from socal and I don't have a regular vet. Pull up yelp to find someone. There's all the regular reviews of people who love their vet but not the important info so I will post the 'essentials' for you. Dr Jamison Super small office. Seriously, there were 4 dogs in there and they were all on top of each other...might have been humping idkHe was manning the door as we walked in. Don't know if he had a staff and really didn't ask. When we entered he did not greet us but hey, he was with a client. It's cool.When we finally interacted and I described what my bubbie bears was going through. He asked that I go into the room with the bubbies and remove my clothing. I was here for my dog why do I have to take of my clothes.... Jk. He checked out the bubbies and gave me options. Coolest part was not really pushing any options that would have made him money. He's a bad sales person but in his line of work, I guess that makes him a good Dr. So went in cause my boy had a bad eye (the other stupid dog poked him 3 stoogies style) and had  a ballooning ear (ear filled with blood). Had to get the eye fixed but told me that if I didn't care that he looked like a UFC fighter, don't worry about the ear. Total with all meds (including the one I had to get at cvs) $150.Bottom line,Good guy, understands what you want to do, isn't going to push you with some unnecessary procedures and pretty affordable.

We have been taking our pitbull and chiwennie here since we moved to Oakland 2 years ago. By far the best experience we have ever had with a vet. Dr. Jameson is very to the point, very knowledgeable, and very reasonably priced.We are overall very pleasded with his services and would highly reccomend him! Read Less

I've been taking my dogs here since I adopted them more than 8 years ago.  Dr. Jameson is friendly and gentle. He provides general care including surgery, but may refer you to specialists if needed.His prices are very reasonable also.  He can charge less because he has low overhead. I am guessing. This office is a one man show so expect to wait sometimes and weigh your dog yourself on the scale in the lobby. You'll probably need to leave voice mails and you  may need to advocate for your pet some. He doesn't try to sell you unnecessary procedures that really just make the owner feel better but stress out the pet. He's always given me choices and honest opinions about what the outcomes might be.Overall I think he's great for routine stuff but because he doesn't push procedures he may also under care for your pet though. So, it's a fine line. Read Less
