I have found that the expertise of the team at SMVS extremely helpful in assisting me in my long journey of treating my IR horse whose condition requires thinking 'out of the box'. Between Dr. Specht's eastern medicine approach and Dr. O'Connors western medicine expertise, we are making inroads on a complicated case. Read Less

Dr. Hardcastle came out to treat my horse Amber for sand colic at the beginning of the week. I just received a call from him checking on her progress. I've never had a vet follow up. I've had nothing but excellent service from all the vets as Sonoma Marin. Read Less

Dr. Jim Myers takes care of my backyard flock of the sheep, and he's wonderful! He is very kind and empathetic to both the animals and their owner. Although he's very busy, he answers all my questions and never makes me feel like he's rushing to the next call. Did his training at UC Davis. Inspires confidence. Kristy is one of the techs who works in the office and she is also very knowledgeable. It's great to be able to speak with her to get some preliminary general info before having to speak directly to a vet, and she can often answer many of my questions. Read Less

Awesome!  Dr Jim Meyers is the most caring, detailed vet I have experienced.   I recently lost one of my horses and he was there for me.. AND Sonoma Marin Vet made a wonderful donation to UC Davis is memory of my much loved horse. Read Less

If you care about your animals, why not get people who are scientists (who are competent) and people who care? I have been a client for more than eleven years. I know them all...they are caring and KNOW THEIR BUSINESS. I have trusted them and their judgment without fail.They rush over when you need them, night or day....they are all so smart, they know ALL the animals...they are not specialists in just one animal or another...I feel completely blessed to know them, my animals love them just as much as I do.

I have used Sonoma/Marin Veterinary Services for years and love them... MIke O'Conner is my regular vet and he has gone above and beyond so many times for me. I can't say enough good things about all the vet's I have used at their clinic. There staff is wonderful also always willing to help and get messages out to the vets if you need them to. Would highly recommend them for anything. Read Less

My horse was exhibiting colic symptoms on Sunday late-afternoon. I called the answering service, and when I tried to explain my situation, the woman cut me off and rudely told me that she was a third party only. When my call was returned, the vet on call brusquely said I was not a client and therefore not his priority. That I actually WAS in their client directory is beside the fact. He reluctantly offered to come by after his current job was finished but would immediately "start charging". He quoted me a $400 call charge for a local Sonoma residence. I asked if anyone else could help me at his practice and he replied with an incredulous "what do you expect? It's after-hours!" I was stunned by his arrogant and condescending behavior. He was unsympathetic and clearly eager to get off the phone with me. I will never call on this practice again. Word of Advice - should you ever have a serious after-hours emergency, you better be a "client". Because if not -- these guys certainly won't be coming.Read Less

Dr. Meyer is so great. I have two Navajo Churro that are wild. They came to me 6 months ago from a ranch of 200 acres. I could not catch the mama and he lassoed the baby and gently took care of both my sheep. Wow......really he was kind and clear and I could not be happier. Thank you for treating my sheep and a great personality to boot!!!Read Less

I want to thank all the Docs and their office colleagues for the wonderful support they have given us over the years. Recently Dr. Mike O'Conner,Dee, Nikki, and Christy worked together to meet the needs of our horses and our schedules. Dr. O'Conner was awesome in explaining medical opinion and experience related to specific conditions related to our horses. The entire Doc and staff roster rocks!!! Thank you all!! Read Less

Can't say enough good things about them as people and veterinarians. Dr O'Connor has gone out of his way for my horses and myself more than once and the office staff is wonderful. They are the best in Sonoma/Marin. Thank you for everything! Read Less

awesome! I was a client of the Sonoma-Marin Veterinary Service for years while I lived in Petalluma, and still am able to get meds and medical supplies from them. I have a mid size herd of dairy goats and have always appreciated their kindness and service! I now live in Lake County and even though there are good Vets here, I wish I was closer... Read Less
