I really like the people at this veterinarian's office especially the doctor. They were able to work us in at the last minute, their fees are reasonable, and the doctor has a good sense of humor. My bed currently went out of business so I've been looking for somebody and I think this might be the place. I saw them as I was driving through the neighborhood and I'm pretty sure this is my new vet. Read Less

Terrible experiences here. Mr. Kang (can't call him a Dr.) lacked confidence when trying to first treat my dog for a limp and then again while attempting to diagnose regurgitation. Dog was limping, gave him ibuprofen after only looking at his paw and not his shoulder. Second visit was only because I needed my dog seen immediately because he was losing weight and not able to keep food in. I explained repeatedly that my dog was regurgitating his food and that nothing was going to his stomach. Ask any vet (except Kang) and they will tell you that regurgitation and vomiting are two completely different things. Kang kept calling it vomiting and wanted to first do blood work and then look at his digestive system. He was literally scratching his head and guessing for over an hour. A doctor/ vet should display confidence in their diagnoses and be willing to admit if they don't know something. I provided pictures of the regurgitation and very thorough details of the situation and it was all dismissed. Took my dog to Banfield Hospital the next day and the vet immediately wanted to x-ray the throat area because of the regurgitation (not vomiting) and discovered a very large tumor that was crushing my poor dog's esophagus. Unfortunately I had to put him down but Banfield did it right. Kang at College is not good. Even my dog didn't like him. He snapped at Kang both visits and my dog never snapped at anyone. Should have taken that as an indicator. Go to Banfield. They are the real experts. Read Less

This vet is very thorough, friendly, professiona and affordable. I went in for a health Certificate to fly, I left with a wealth of knowledge of how to care for my dogs ears. She swims in the ocean a lot and gets infections. Dr. Kang took time off give me  prevention care for my dog. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. I have found a new vet close to home.

The best vet clinic I've ever been to. They're very committed to my dog's health, and they're much cheaper than other places with nearly 3x the service/care they provide. They won't let me leave until they know what's wrong with my dog and have a solution in place to help him. A few months ago, my dog got attacked by another dog, and they let me see them last minute and did surgery to help him right away. I was dreading the bill, expecting it to run incredibly high, but it was much more reasonable than I was expecting. My dog is now happy and his old self again. I've moved since then, but I'll never be able to fully thank them for how well they've taken care of my dog and their good service. Read Less

I had a baby Dutch rabbit (He also treats rabbits) And the bunny somehow broke it's back. We had to euthanize him so we brought Bean (the bunny) to Dr. Kang. He took the bunny back with him and tried very hard to help the bunny live but in the end, he had to put him down. My mom went back there and when she came out, said they had set him down into a comfy carrier. Overall, I would say he and his staff are quite friendly and he does a great job with our dog, Max, and other bunny, Inky. I will be coming here for a while :) Read Less

I had to register in order to log this review... but felt it necessary to let people know about our experience. Disappointed that poor - fair is the lowest rating - wanted one even lower. Took my service dog in just to have her nails clipped... the staff seemed so nice an friendly as they took my dog to the back... after two painful yips i was allowed into the back room... appalled! my dog was being forcefully held down and muzzled - she weighs 25lbs - okay i thought they must be afraid... as i watch this "tech" trim the dogs nails - she paid no attention to where she was cutting... the dog cried every nail... every single nail bled... they told me it was normal - SO NOT - my dogs nails are trimmed every 6-8 weeks... i understand one maybe two bleeders but EVERY single one????after leaving we went to a store the dog would not stand just lay down... i had to carry her... her feet were bloodied and obviously quite sore. I called the clinic later in week after hearing that the vet was good, figuring i would give them the courtesy to fix or at least apologize... I explained the situation - and asked that i my call be returned once things were investigated - after a week and no response - I reported this to the SPCA - as there is no way this "tech" had any training and if she did - then she just plain old didn't give a crap... i hope it is lack of training and not a lack of animal compassion.I wont be going back EVER....my dog is family, my friend, my partner...Read Less

Dr. Kang is the best! He has been my vet for 10 plus years! The do NOT overcharge, in fact, they give me a discount everytime I take my dog. Two years ago my18 year old do was having a difficult time breathing. Dr. Kang rushed me into his office and immediately started assessing the situation. He did not order any unnecessary tests. He did not overcharge he was very compassionate! My dog was diagnoised with heart failure and had to put down that day. Yes, I agree Dr. Kang is a little hard to understand, but if you give him your undived attention you will understand. He does not have a problem if you ask him to repeat himself. On that day my dog passed, I had my other dog with me and mentioned that her ears were bothering her, he gave her a checkup without a charge! I LIKE College Pet Clinic!!!!! Donna D Read Less

My family and I have been taking our pets to Dr. Kang since I was a child. I've continued to take my animals there up until now. He recently performed a Mastectomy on my 12yr old Siberian husky who had a large tumor and totally botched it. My dog was having complications all week following the surgery, including excessive blood-loss, loss of appetite, and she was in tons of pain; Dr. Kang's team took her back a week later, kept her over night and again released her into my care, stating ""she's doing great and healing well."" Later that day, her nose began bleeding and her gums and tongue turned white and she could barely move - she went into shock. I rushed her to California Veterinary Specialists in Carlsbad, CA [good people] where I learned that she was extremely anoemic and her wounds were not healing properly at all - in fact, one was opening up! The toxins had spread all throughout her, and her system was completely shutting down. I, sadly, had to have her euthanized that night - after Dr. Kang told me she was doing great. I have always recommended him, and more importantly - I TRUSTED HIM, but never again. This was a truly horrible and unnecessary experience. I regret putting my poor dog through that. Read Less

Dr. Kang says he is just a old time country doctor, I say he is the best. He always takes his time and explains everything to me. Pulls out books to show me what he is talking about. Willing to look things up on the net or read anything I have suggested. I never feel rushed, my dogs love him. Cares about his patients and they feel it. His office is not fancy, yet he stays up to date with most current equipment. The fees are always fair. I feel safe taking my dogs to him, that is important to me. The staff is always friendly but more important to me, they are so well trained and knowledgeable. That was the first thing I noticed the first time I went there. So,if you are looking for a good vet that really cares I reccomend Dr. Donald Kang. Read Less
