Have (should now say, had) been taking my dog there for years - first, for a while, they didn't send out the notices for my pet's shots until AFTER the fact; recently, my dog lost a great amount of weight, and after tests, xrays and ultrasound, it turns out he has what is basically an inoperable cancer. For several months, to supposedly treat the symptoms, I was instructed by the Clinic to buy liver supplements that are not even covered by my per insurance. Many tests were done, which did nothing to help treat my pet's illness - all it did was put money into the Clinic's pockets. When i brought my dog in last week for the ultrasound, they even charged me $50. just to put him in a room! I have spent a couple of thousand dollars there, and now, today, I have to put my dog down. Not that i don't like Dr. Navi or Dr. Birch - I do like them - but in reality, Dr. Navi should have emphasized for me to have the ultrasound much sooner than he did. I will never go back there again. P.S. They even wanted to charge me 50.00 to be present in the room when they put my dog down! In closing, I do not recommend Family Pet Clinic of Phelan to anyone. Go to Desert Mountain Veterinary on Route 138 in Pinon Hills instead. Nicer people and way better prices.Read Less
