If you are looking for a vet who is rude, abrasive, and aggressive, Dr. Gold is the guy for you. Maybe he was having a really really bad day, but I didn't get the impression that his behavior was unusual from the receptionist, who was cowering in fear as he screamed at her.

My family and I have been bringing all of our pets to Dr. Gold for almost 20 years. We've had quite a different experience than the other reviewer. Yes, there are times where Dr. Gold is extremely busy and the techs will handle smaller tasks. Surprising? No, He's the only Vet in town, he's going to be swamped. I do NOT recommend taking your animals to Dr. Franklin as an alternative in Calistoga. My dog's trachea is now semi-collapsed due to an inadequate anesthesiologist there. With that being said, 95% of the time David spends at least 15-20 minutes addressing concerns after the issue is explained to him. He will even pet/hold the animals while talking so they are comfortable with him (it also comforts the owner). Another positive: he's not quick to jump on pumping animals full of medications or suggesting surgeries unless absolutely necessary. Also a nice clean environment. My only complaint is that the benches in the waiting room area suck, but big whoop.

We had an emergency with one of our llamas and Dr. Gold came out the same day to exam her. Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done for her but Dr. Gold was able to end her suffering. Living in the Napa Valley, our options are very limited for large animal vets and I'm very thankful him and his office were so quick to respond to our emergency, especially on a Saturday. We'll be keeping his information on file for future needs with our llamas.

Dr. Gold was the primary vet for my two beagles when they lived in St. Helena full time. They both had 6 teeth cleanings along the way, no issues, happy dogs. I really like that he is practical and they don't try to sell to you or scare you. On Aug 2015 they were even willing to clean my beagle's teeth even though he has not been a regular patient. Actually, next to the UCDavis Vet Teaching Hospital, this is the only vet and clinic I trust with my dogs life. The 4 stars vs 5, you may have your rich and class lacking St. Helena resident in there with a sick pet so expect snobs and sense of entitlement from a few of their clients.

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, for so many different reasons. We are new to St. Helena and reached out to them when we moved in. Dr. Gold and Katherine blocked off time to meet with us and show us around their amazing facility. I was incredibly impressed that they took the time out of their very busy day to do so! Fast forward a month or so and we had a minor emergency with one of my dogs. We called right at closing time and they took us in without blinking an eye, kept my dog over night...with the Doc checking in on him throughout the night. Absolutely amazing service and standard of care. This is an ongoing issue that we have had with our dog and Dr. Gold's treatment was far superior and far less expensive than anything that we had received while living in San Francisco. Dr. Gold's knowledge, skill and judgement are like nothing I have experienced in all the years that I have had animals (which is a long time!). I'm so grateful that we have St. Helena Vet less than a mile away! I cannot sing their praises enough.

I wish there was a ZERO!Dr. Gold is not a kind, personable or caring. I've tried many times. He's not thorough and will send a pet home without exams or blood test. He doesn't come out and talk to you, sends his vet tech to do it. Today a dear friend called in tears. She took her 3 yr. old pup in yesterday as he was having trouble breathing. She was told he had a broken rib and to take him home. 12 hrs. Later the pup in serious distress, Dr. Gold was called and never returned the call.The pup was rushed to Santa Rosa Emergency. Immediately tests were run, a blood test indicated he had eaten some rat poison. He could have been saved by a blood test with Dr. Gold.I will tell everyone I know to NEVER NEVER go there and cite repeated occurances I've had when taking a pet in at the owner's request. I am a professional pet sitterand will question the owners of the pets that I and my staff care for that use Dr. Gold.Linda Evenrude, OwnerHappy Tails Napa Valley
