From helping my stray-to-stay cat recover from a vicious attack from another cat, to check-ups and calling him overweight (which he is), this place has been great to my fur-baby. Pros: - Very thorough with their assessments, screenings, and check-ups. - Staff is very personable and seems to genuinely love all pets. - Very punctual with their appointments and returning phone calls. Cons: - Parking area is sometimes hectic, especially on the weekends. BUT, they do have a couple of designated spaces for those that are going to the clinic. - Cost is high... but that is most likely a very common thing with almost all veterinary clinics... and what is the real cost of keeping your fur-baby healthy?My experience with the staff at the Center Veterinary Clinic in Mira Mesa have always been nothing but positive. My first time with this clinic was when I had to bring in our now fur-baby, Mr. Kitty, in to be treated for his wounds he got from another cat (we named him that because we didn't think that we were going to keep him or that he would actually stay with us). The staff was quick with being able to schedule him in, and the doctor and the staff was very attentive. Fast-forward, he was able to recover quickly, he was able to get all his vaccinations, and we were able to micro-chip him. Yup, he now OUR kitty. No more being an outdoor cat. =)Anyways, the other times we have brought him in for check-ups, the quality of services have not faltered. They continue to be genuine, sincere, and detailed with their work. The venue is small, waiting room has a few chairs, but it has more open space to cater to dogs/cats that come into the waiting room. The parking area is generally hectic in the weekends. This plaza is being shared with Seafood City, a coin-op laundry mat, a liquor store, and a few places to eat. Parking gets crowded. The bright side to parking in this area is that if you are going to check into the veterinary clinic, they have 2 designated parking spots for their patrons... There are times when someone would park there because they are dropping off people for the nearby shops or the laundry mat, BUT this is a rare occurrence because the spots is VERY obvious that it is specifically for the clinic. And that security/the clinic are very punctual on who parks there and are able to get vehicles towed away quick. Obviously, finances to keep up with visits and treatments is always going to be expensive. They do their best to keep cost down while maintaining a good reputation with their patrons by online deals and frequent visit rewards programs. Would I go back to this clinic for future check-ups for Mr. Kitty? Of course. Other than this place is close by, they have been great to my fur-baby. If I had more expandable income (man, I need to get into that next level tax-bracket), I would definitely go to them to have them brush Mr. Kitty's teeth. You know how hard it is to brush a cat's teeth? Let alone trying to give them a bath? Not all cats are like those Instagram cats that are all chill with water. Read Less
