I would watch out for this clinic we had gone in for a regular UTI clearing and went we spoke with the doctor they said it would be a routine procedure for our cat for around 80-90 dollars. We left to a restaurant while we wait for our cat to be taken care of. After a bit they asked us to come back to which they had removed the cats portion of its spine because they said they couldn't figure out why it wasnt clearing without letting us know or anything that the procedure wasnt working. I had told them that we cant afford much from the start. How would you feel if you came back and they had donte a bunch of anuthorised procedures with out your approval on your pet then they slap a bill on the table for 1395 on the table and the only way to pay for it was getting a credit card! Then I recently reached out to a customer service line who was supposed to ask their manager to see what they could do about this and then never got back to me! I found this company overall to be unprofessional, didnt care about my situation, and miss management its patient/ client needs if anything do your research first and watch out for companies like this because they act like they aren't in the business looking for profit instead of of betterment of the pet community in San Diego.

Disgusting business. I was refused service when my kitten was having a upper respiratory infection. I thought maybe I should bring my kitten to the place that she goes to, because we have established care there. No, that’s not the case. I was told “we don’t except walk-ins” by the heartless counter girl, she told me to got to a “animal hospital” which is crazy because bodhi is an animal hospital? My kitten had only been to bodhi, she had two appointments before this experience that felt like I was in the “twilight zone.”
I am going to tell everyone I know about my experience with this terrible place. I hope they think about the name they chose for their place - BODHI- which means- “the state of enlightenment attained by a Buddhist who has practiced the Eightfold Path and achieved salvation.”

I have used this office for two years for my senior pug. At first, it was really great and we loved the clean, zen atmosphere.
The last six months are terrible. Cant get through on the phone, impossible to make appointments, takes forever to get prescriptions filled if they even have the medication to begin with.
I take my dog’s health and life super seriously and hate switching care providers, but i cant take it anymore. Its now been almost 48 hours since we put in a request for flea medication and i was just informed they dont have it “in her size range” anymore. But, like, why tho?
Just bad service and too pricey. Trying to do way too damn much.

If I could give this 0 stars, I would but unfortunately I have to give 1 star to write a review. My girlfriend took our cat in as he was very lethargic and having trouble breathing (and bladder/bowel issues). The veterinarian who first spoke to her asked her in a demeaning and extremely unprofessional way (caps for emphasis on how it was said) "WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR CAT?" in an accusatory way, and made her cry immediately. She only went there because it was a Sunday and it was the closest vet emergency room. The way she was treated was absolutely non-professional, and I would strongly suggest that if you want your sick animal to live (and be treated with respect), do not take your loved pets to Bodhi Animal Hospital. My girlfriend now blames herself for the death of her cat because of the accusatory statements, even though she was the best owner and loved her cat more than anything in the world (except me, hopefully). I am now going to be consoling her for a long period of time because she was led to believe it was her fault (after calling them, the cause of death was an aggregation of crystals in the his urinary tract, causing potassium excess causing liver toxicity leading to organ failure). I cannot believe this behavior is allowed at any hospital, where the doctors and clinicians know that the ones bringing in the sick and dying animals are at their most vulnerable emotionally. Any medical professional (vets included) with any shred of decency would not have placed blame on the owner when the cause of death was incurable and not due to any negligence by the owner. I am sickened, and implore anyone reading this take your pets elsewhere if you want to be treated with dignity and not accused of killing your much loved pet.

My girlfriend and I came here with our dog cause he had a ear infection and was really sick we told the vet everything and she said they’ll take a look at it we trusted her and left we came back at 9pm to pick him up and he looked terrible. She was ignoring all of our questions and being really rude we asked her if she checked his nose and his body but she said no, cause no one told her. She a bad attitude like it isn’t her job to check him. My dog is still feeling sick and they seem like they don’t truly care about animals. never coming back to this awful place

The front desk staff were friendly. We had an appointment and there was a considerable wait with our 15 year old cat. We came in to see how we could make him more comfortable and instead were asked to have blood tests and other tests (we declined) and yet still walked out with pills, saline and needles (which were impossible to give to a cat with extremely thin skin and very underweight), and a $200 bill. The cat died two days later. We depend on professional staff to tell us at times like this to "do no harm" and this is what you can do to keep him as hydrated as possible. I feel they missed the mark on this one and gave us products this older cat did not need. In out situation, I believe they over prescribed for weak old cat when all we wanted was to make sure he was not in pain and how to make him comfortable. Thanks for nothing, Bodhi.

First visit we saw Dr. Carol Gabrielson, it was not pleasant for me. First I'd like to start by giving the practice some credit because I am an extremely overprotective pet mother to my extremely annoying crybaby 2 year old German Shepherd. He has a very loud ear piercing cry that echoes in the room, he cries until the vet gets in to pay him attention. However, Dr. Gabrielson and her room assistant were visibly irritated and annoyed by my dog's anxiety and his playful nature when having his body examined which really gave off negative vibes that both myself and my dog picked up on. Due to this my dog continued to exhibit anxious behavior and continued to cry. While I know that my dog is a pain, I did not appreciate the way the vet and staff reacted to him. Our second visit we saw Dr. Tracey Hayes, she is fantastic! I loved her and I think my dog loved her even more. He was so comfortable with her and her assistant that he did not cry once when they entered the room. She fed him treats and gave him affection which really goes a long way with myself and my dog. She was very understanding of my dog being uncomfortable with his ears and teeth being examined, however, my dog actually seemed relatively comfortable allowing her to examine him. He was so relaxed he lounged around in the room the whole time we could hardly get him to stand up (which is a good thing, usually he is all over the place trying to investigate the counter tops and sneak out the doors). I would highly recommend her. Even given our first experience here, this practice was 100% better than North Park pet hospital where they are aggressive and inattentive. I would definitely recommend this practice as a whole to any San Diego residents looking for a new vet.

I was visiting the San Diego area when my dog started limping and favoring her front leg. I called and spoke with Lori and she transferred me to Stacey. They set me up with an appointment. On arrival I was greeted by Stacey then taken care of by Brittney and Dr Young. What a great staff. Took great care of us in a very timely manner. Dr Young went over the treatment options and Brittney gave me a total cost for services and medication before they proceeded. I would definitely recommend Bodhi Animal Hospital ! Thank you to all for taking such good care of us !

The care my dog received here was awesome. The staff was very sweet and extremely helpful, I'll definitely be coming back for a Neos regular check ups. You could tell the staff really loved animals and what they were doing. My dog ate something toxic and we went in as an emergency. They helped him through, and the next morning we brought him in to see the vet again and all of the vet techs were loving on him. The vet from the night before even came in to see him even though she wasn't working that day. She saw us walking in and wanted to say hi to him. Stuff like that really make or break a vet visit. I'll definitely recommend them to others. If I could give them more stars, I would!

We have been taking our dog and cat to bodhi for a few years now and every time it's been a great experience. Prices on meds and prescription foods beat out ordering online or from petsmart. They have always started with the lowest cost option when we brought our pets in for urgent attention and have never pushed unnecessary tests like VCA does. The Vets and techs have all been friendly to the both us and our little ones. I've seen a few complaints about fees for tests/exams and come on people, pets are not machines. You can't plug in diagnostics and replace a broken part. It's no different than going to your own doctor when your sick except the poor little guys can't tell us what is wrong. If you can't afford vet bills, then you shouldn't have a pet. Bodhi has been nothing but 5 stars for our family and we will continue using them for as long as we are in San Diego. Thank you Bodhi for keeping our kids healthy!!

The last six months are terrible. Cant get through on the phone, impossible to make appointments, takes forever to get prescriptions filled if they even have the medication to begin with.
I take my dog’s health and life super seriously and hate switching care providers, but i cant take it anymore. Its now been almost 48 hours since we put in a request for flea medication and i was just informed they dont have it “in her size range” anymore. But, like, why tho?
Just bad service and too pricey. Trying to do way too damn much.

If I could give this 0 stars, I would but unfortunately I have to give 1 star to write a review. My girlfriend took our cat in as he was very lethargic and having trouble breathing (and bladder/bowel issues). The veterinarian who first spoke to her asked her in a demeaning and extremely unprofessional way (caps for emphasis on how it was said) "WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR CAT?" in an accusatory way, and made her cry immediately. She only went there because it was a Sunday and it was the closest vet emergency room. The way she was treated was absolutely non-professional, and I would strongly suggest that if you want your sick animal to live (and be treated with respect), do not take your loved pets to Bodhi Animal Hospital. My girlfriend now blames herself for the death of her cat because of the accusatory statements, even though she was the best owner and loved her cat more than anything in the world (except me, hopefully). I am now going to be consoling her for a long period of time because she was led to believe it was her fault (after calling them, the cause of death was an aggregation of crystals in the his urinary tract, causing potassium excess causing liver toxicity leading to organ failure). I cannot believe this behavior is allowed at any hospital, where the doctors and clinicians know that the ones bringing in the sick and dying animals are at their most vulnerable emotionally. Any medical professional (vets included) with any shred of decency would not have placed blame on the owner when the cause of death was incurable and not due to any negligence by the owner. I am sickened, and implore anyone reading this take your pets elsewhere if you want to be treated with dignity and not accused of killing your much loved pet.

My urgent care experience could not have been better. I was given coffee. My cat was treated like family. The doctor was very thorough, and the nurses were extremely kind; overtly welcoming. Facilities are nicely decorated as well. Good prices—I highly recommend!

With a new puppy the vets and technicians took the time to get to know her and I, allowed us to feel comfortable and handled the pup with kindness, treats and lots of knowledge. I was just passing through and almost wish I could drive back for my next year's visit! Thank you!

My girlfriend and I came here with our dog cause he had a ear infection and was really sick we told the vet everything and she said they’ll take a look at it we trusted her and left we came back at 9pm to pick him up and he looked terrible. She was ignoring all of our questions and being really rude we asked her if she checked his nose and his body but she said no, cause no one told her. She a bad attitude like it isn’t her job to check him. My dog is still feeling sick and they seem like they don’t truly care about animals. never coming back to this awful place

Everything was fantastic! The facility was clean and the staff were very professional. We brought our newly adopted rescue here and the doctor was very kind and reassuring to him. They have great new customer discount on the first exam as well as a huge discount for people who adopt rescues. Definitely going back for our follow ups.

Very clean and hi-tech. Long wait and I thought thorough exam, however one of my two dogs that were examined died a few days after his check up and they didn't catch anything. It was quite expansive.

The front desk staff were friendly. We had an appointment and there was a considerable wait with our 15 year old cat. We came in to see how we could make him more comfortable and instead were asked to have blood tests and other tests (we declined) and yet still walked out with pills, saline and needles (which were impossible to give to a cat with extremely thin skin and very underweight), and a $200 bill. The cat died two days later. We depend on professional staff to tell us at times like this to "do no harm" and this is what you can do to keep him as hydrated as possible. I feel they missed the mark on this one and gave us products this older cat did not need. In out situation, I believe they over prescribed for weak old cat when all we wanted was to make sure he was not in pain and how to make him comfortable. Thanks for nothing, Bodhi.

First visit we saw Dr. Carol Gabrielson, it was not pleasant for me. First I'd like to start by giving the practice some credit because I am an extremely overprotective pet mother to my extremely annoying crybaby 2 year old German Shepherd. He has a very loud ear piercing cry that echoes in the room, he cries until the vet gets in to pay him attention. However, Dr. Gabrielson and her room assistant were visibly irritated and annoyed by my dog's anxiety and his playful nature when having his body examined which really gave off negative vibes that both myself and my dog picked up on. Due to this my dog continued to exhibit anxious behavior and continued to cry. While I know that my dog is a pain, I did not appreciate the way the vet and staff reacted to him. Our second visit we saw Dr. Tracey Hayes, she is fantastic! I loved her and I think my dog loved her even more. He was so comfortable with her and her assistant that he did not cry once when they entered the room. She fed him treats and gave him affection which really goes a long way with myself and my dog. She was very understanding of my dog being uncomfortable with his ears and teeth being examined, however, my dog actually seemed relatively comfortable allowing her to examine him. He was so relaxed he lounged around in the room the whole time we could hardly get him to stand up (which is a good thing, usually he is all over the place trying to investigate the counter tops and sneak out the doors). I would highly recommend her. Even given our first experience here, this practice was 100% better than North Park pet hospital where they are aggressive and inattentive. I would definitely recommend this practice as a whole to any San Diego residents looking for a new vet.

I was visiting the San Diego area when my dog started limping and favoring her front leg. I called and spoke with Lori and she transferred me to Stacey. They set me up with an appointment. On arrival I was greeted by Stacey then taken care of by Brittney and Dr Young. What a great staff. Took great care of us in a very timely manner. Dr Young went over the treatment options and Brittney gave me a total cost for services and medication before they proceeded. I would definitely recommend Bodhi Animal Hospital ! Thank you to all for taking such good care of us !

The care my dog received here was awesome. The staff was very sweet and extremely helpful, I'll definitely be coming back for a Neos regular check ups. You could tell the staff really loved animals and what they were doing. My dog ate something toxic and we went in as an emergency. They helped him through, and the next morning we brought him in to see the vet again and all of the vet techs were loving on him. The vet from the night before even came in to see him even though she wasn't working that day. She saw us walking in and wanted to say hi to him. Stuff like that really make or break a vet visit. I'll definitely recommend them to others. If I could give them more stars, I would!

My boy "Mikey Peluche McCoy " got hurt while taking our morning walk one day. His regular vet had a family emergency the same day. The vet technician recommended bothi hospital. I called the place. The receptionist was very professional and assured me they will take very good care of mikey. Bridget gave me peace of mind over the phone and called my vet to gather med records. The staff was amazing! Professional, efficient and experienced. The next day they called to check up on mikey. The vet answered all my questions! !! I already sent a friend of mine to them. Please take your pet and live the experience yourself. Thank you bothi for such an amazing job!!!

We have been taking our dog and cat to bodhi for a few years now and every time it's been a great experience. Prices on meds and prescription foods beat out ordering online or from petsmart. They have always started with the lowest cost option when we brought our pets in for urgent attention and have never pushed unnecessary tests like VCA does. The Vets and techs have all been friendly to the both us and our little ones. I've seen a few complaints about fees for tests/exams and come on people, pets are not machines. You can't plug in diagnostics and replace a broken part. It's no different than going to your own doctor when your sick except the poor little guys can't tell us what is wrong. If you can't afford vet bills, then you shouldn't have a pet. Bodhi has been nothing but 5 stars for our family and we will continue using them for as long as we are in San Diego. Thank you Bodhi for keeping our kids healthy!!
