CCVH and Dr. Satowski define what veterinary care should be.Dr. Satowski, her staff, husband, and son have been taking care of our pet-babies since 2000, even though we moved from Poway to AZ to Coronado and to Nor Cal during the ensuing years. We even travel to Rancho Bernardo to kennel our pets at the "Spa Satowski" when we are on vacation, because we know they will be well taken care of. Dr. Satowski has tended to the lives of our dog, cats, hamster and parrotlet with her vast knowledge, determination, and above all, her honest care. She has followed our "babies" from puppy and kitten hood to the Rainbow Bridge, and for her support, I could never thank her enough.I see many people opting to take their pets to walk-in clinics or coupon-oriented chain veterinary centers where there is no follow up or long term care/concern for pets. While it might be a cheap way to deal with situations as they arise, it is not the way to manage the life of a being. Use coupons and walk ins for cars, not pets. Our experience with Dr. Satowski has taught us the value of having a dedicated veterinary professional who knows our pets and their health history, someone who will clear a schedule or answer the phone, to give us honest and caring help. As for pricing, their services are competitive with the chain clinics (cheaper in the long run), and with the benefit of knowing that you will be talking to or seeing the same vet each time - not another unknown rotation vet who picks up the chart and starts from scratch. If there is any question left about the caring atmosphere and total pet gaga-ness at CCVH, it's worth stating that many of the staff members have been working there since before we started - over 16 years. They are totally critter-crazy and have formed a tight homey team where pet people are very welcome.I highly recommend Dr. Satowski and Companion Care Veterinary Hospital. Take your pet there, meet the staff, and learn what it is to have a partner in truly caring for your companion. Read Less
