I like this clinic a lot because my dogs are comfortable there. They treat all dogs like they are special and not another number. I feel like they have improved over the last couple years as well. It is right in the Mission so I have easy access from Noe Valley There is a great garage at 16 Hoff that I always use. It is really close and they also have a great staff. So if you used to go there go back and give this clinic another chance and if you have never been there tenths is really a great place. Read Less

I have been taking my rescue dog to Mission Pet for almost 7 years and have nothing but the best to say about them. Each member of the staff is extremely friendly, understanding, and accommodating. I have a very nervous and anxious dog who doesn't do well at the vet and they go above and beyond to make it work. They are upfront about costs and make sure you are fully aware of what all of your options are. Fantastic people and service that you can trust will take the best care of your fur-ever friend.

I've a lot of faith in the vets at Mission Pet Hospital, most particularly Dr Gordon. The knowledge is great but it's the willingness to research and find out more about anything wrong with my pets has been life-saving. My only regret is that this hospital is so popular it can be hard to get an appointment, especially with my preferred vet. Read Less

Mission Pet was so wonderful and thorough when helping me navigate the quite complicated process of moving my cat to Hawaii. They were always easy to reach, and helped simplify the process. They were my cat's vet for 7 years and I would recommend them to anyone. Read Less

I can't say enough about the wonderful care my cats and dogs have received here throughout the years. I have moved to the sunset and continue to bring them here because of the loving compassionate care. My kitty had congestive heart failure and was treated so tenderly finally receiving hospice care. My dog was treated for colitis gallbladder disease, cancer. I have a dog that has had orthopedic surgery and is perfect! I have urgently brought my dog in for a disagreement with the raccoon, fox tails in the ears and in the nose. You name it we've been there for it. Dr. Curtis Press has been our primary care physician but all the staff there are great. Read Less

I Mission Pet Hospital. I’ve been to 3 other veterinarians and by far they are the most accommodating. I love that they tell me the real in basic language, not in that I’m a vet terminology. I am grateful for this. In addition, the majority of their front desk look happy to be at work. The other vet offices I have been to, their people look and act miserable. I don’t need any of that especially going to the vet, because many people who are there are dealing with the stress of life and then added on top of it, is that their pet/companion may be ill. No added misery is a plus. Read Less

Mission Pet Hospital is a Great place to take your Fur Babies/Pets. I have been bringing my Dogs there for decades and always came out knowing they were in good hands. Curtis Press, Danny Dickerson etc, etc... ( too many to list) are the Best. They truly not only care about your pet but care about you too. I had an emergency with Kiki a few years ago and rushed her in and she was immediately taken in the back and Curtis (who was on his way home) stayed and took care of her. They came out and gave me updates on her and in short they saved her life. MPH has Great Veterinarians, Technicians and Service. It is a Great place to bring your pets. Read Less

Curtis Press and Dave Gordon and the rest of the team at Mission Pet are the best. They are compasionate. They take the time to explain what is going on and want what is the best for the animal. Totally trust them. Read Less

I was looking for the office phone number when I came across the earlier review of Dr. Dickason. I empathize with the user, but have always had completely different experiences with Dr. Dickason, and felt compelled to respond. We have been clients of MPH for over five years now, and so have had a good number of opportunities to get an idea of what to expect.In each and every one of our interactions, Dr. Dickason has shown great care and concern for our boy, while also being respectful of the cost/ benefit concerns every pet parent encounters at some time. He has always been a great listener, and has taken our thoughts and feedback seriously. Most important to us, our dog is more at ease with Dr. Dickason than any other vet we've ever seen.I cannot think of a vet that I would trust more with the well being of our dog. Read Less

I visited Mission Pet Hospital for the first time today. Dr. Mark Wade was genuine, sincere, informative and I felt he truly cared about my dog "Moby". I'm happy I went there today. I highly recommend this place ! Read Less

Just a warning that this vet is primarily interested in money. Any x-ray or shot they can get away with they'll try to perform without rational basis. Also they don't accept pet insurance, so be prepared to spend out of pocket. Consider avoiding this depraved location Read Less

Dr. Megan Moser has taken such kind care with my pets that I followed her to Mission Pet Hospital when she moved to this facility. I like MPH much better than the last place she worked, and highly recommend it. The people here are nice and informative, and they do the best to make my still unsettled rescue dog emotionally comfortable. Also, I was very nervous about having my first dog altered and she took the time to assure I understood my available choices without just saying all dogs should be altered. I feel I got the truth here, and made the best choice for my dog at his age (who is now altered and has a play pal). I would not take my dog elsewhere. Read Less

I've been going here since I was a pup. I like the doctors that takes care of me. But my owner don't like the staff at the front desk. When one of the lady saw the scars on my leg, she looked disgusted or something. And they could be a lot friendlier when speaking to clients. The doctors however are super nice!Read Less

These people are nice, and their prices are good, but we brought our dog in for a minor hair loss issue and even though we paid for several tests they never did diagnose it. So I sort of doubt their abilities. Read Less

Great experiences all around. MPH has been great in accommodating appointments to work for my schedule and the vets have made themselves available to talk by phone when our dog had seizures. Friendly staff that really seems to care about the animals they take care of. Very pleased. Read Less

This guy works at Mission Pet Hospital, and is a horrible person. He enjoys talking shit about pet owners. He scoffs at any kind of knowledge you may have about your pet, even if you have worked with animals and read alot of books by dog psychologists and behaviorists. this guy laughed at me when I warned my dog would release her anal gland if you took her to the back room without one of us with her, he makes the tech bring her back out and she has released her anal gland and the whole office smells of it. after hearing that we rescued a dog because we couldn't leave her with the humans who let her be abused by a drug addicts, who currently let her live in a field, and now she acts like a normal dog 80% of the time, she still has some anxiety with being away from her owners but has a group of humans she trusts and doesn't mind hanging out with alone, and she is still scared of very loud bangs and extra tall people who don't greet us petting her, considering she couldn't even approach a human when we met her, that is amazing. after only 3 years of rehabilitation she is happy, it took almost a year for her to realize she could wag her tail, now she does every time she sees her people, dogs,and of course food, she used to pee at every loud noise including noises far away, now she barely lifts an ear unless it is close, she would pee at the sight of men, now she cant wait to sniff their butts and watch them interact.  My partner and I both have forms of PTSD, so when I say her I offered her a choice take the turkey jerky  from me and i will take you somewhere safe, I got on the ground on my back with jerky and she approached me took it and ran off, i sat in my cars back seat with more turkey jerky and she jumped over me into the car, she snuggled in the back seat and shook, i put some jerky by her, and put my hand out to sniff she sniffed and looked at me, i yawned she looked again and took the jerky stretched a bit and snuggled back down n curled in a ball, the second her old humans came over to talk she buried herself under the seats and shook harder so i led them away from her with the car door still open so she could escape if she wanted, and let them know she was coming home with my and my partner. we bring her home and she has issues but i had been working at doggy daycare for a while and had read many books on dog behavior so i made my partner read books and learn the signs of anxiety and fear, but also signs of comfort. I trained him how to train her the most beneficial way, patience and high value treats. once he was trained, i had him lay on his back and had the pup come near him and let her sniff him all over without him reacting. after that i put a leash around his waist had him lay back down and hooked her to the leash, I spend a few weeks watching him to make sure he was patient and for her as moral support and now she loves him more than me! this didn't take long since he is soft spoken and calm, now she is his ESA and prevents his panic attacks. she has a routine, dog friends, human friends and a job, she is perfect. the last 2 weeks she noticed she sometimes ignores us and honestly it looks like she is having flashbacks, and i have also notices a higher distrust towards dogs, usually she only is distrustful if they bark and wont play, now she is starting to raise her scruff and wants to leave the park. along with this sometimes she looks at me and her forehead is shaking like she is having brain shakes, she is on Prozac so we looked into side effects, one long term side effect is brain shakes, so my partner calls the vet and guess who answers, Daniel E Dickason DVM, he tells my partner to get a behaviorist, my partner says it is a bit expensive and he was concerned it was the Prozac doing this not our dog, so the vet says he can't help, then thinks he hung up, but instead he set the phone down, and proceeds to talk about how after hearing my partner talk about our dogs issues last time he wanted to kill himself. he said if we wanted to help a dog with that serious of issues we should be willing to put the money into it or we should have left her in the abusive home....I would just like to say as a victim of abuse, being in a home where i am loved and where my people do everything in their power to help me is more valuable than a doctor with a big floppy Wang of a mouth who thinks it is okay to judge and talk down about people who love their animal companions. we have looked in behaviorists and our last vet said her progress was so amazing she didn't think our dog needed one. I believe it would help, but if you call your doctor with medication concerns and they say they can't help you, after they prescribe the medication to you, they need to go back to school. Daniel Dickason you need to go back to school, I will no longer be paying you to not give a f*ck about my dog and talk shit about her humans in  the office place in font of other vets and patients.

Great staff and doctors. I've always found them to be caring, friendly, and accommodating. Big shout outs to Drs. Claire and Danny for their excellent care of my furry friend in going above and beyond what you would expect from a vet clinic. Read Less

I am so grateful to the staff of MPH for the very generous donation of their services in addressing Ogee's needs. Ogee was rescued from the fire at 22nd & Mission last week. She spent an unbelievable NINE HOURS locked in an apartment and was ultimately found INSIDE a cabinet that is normally kept closed.... with the door closed behind her! She's always had a talent with doors. She is recovering comfortably and is showing great signs of progress from her corneas being burned. She has a follow up appointment next week and hopefully her healing will continue. Quite a special 7 month old! Thanks again Mission Pet Hospital!!! Read Less

Have LOVED the care and service here for 16 years now. I've had many opportunities to use them and have always been impressed by the professionalism, ability to research issues and their love for all the animals in their care. Unfortunately I think they are just a bit too popular now... I called today because my elderly dog is in pain and they tell me they are booked until after Christmas and I should try calling early morning to see if there is a cancellation. Poor Cooper has been going there for those 16 years... thank goodness I have another veterinary option that cares enough to make time for him. Read Less

They've been treating my Basenji boys, Shaka and Yoda since 2001 and have always done an excellent job. Yoda is about to turn 17 and I think it has something to do with the care he's been receiving from MPH. Read Less

I've been taking my pets to Mission Pet hospital for more than 15 years and I have to say that they have always been very concerned about my pets whenever they were sick, they were quick to tell me when my pets didn't need medication or additional procedures done. Also, when my two pets died, within 4 months of each other (my 22 year old cat and my 13 1/2 year old dog) they were so kind, gentle and considerate of my cat my dog and of me. I even received sympathy cards after each had passed. The waiting room is small, the area has parking issues, but I have to say that the veterinary care my dear pets have received has been great. I always felt comfortable bringing my my babies there and when necessary leaving them there for care. I now have a new puppy and plan on taking him to Mission Pet as well (I highly recommend Dr. Gordon or Dr. Press-BTW "disillusioned" Dr. Scarlet left to head up SF SPCA about a year or two ago.

I've been using MPH since 1987 and have never had anything but great care for cats and dogs both current and dearly departed. I just called them on a Saturday, late afternoon (one of their busiest times), to ask a question about guidelines for introducing a new puppy to an established dog, including questions about the immunization status of the older dog. I did have to wait on hold for a few minutes - but not long. Without hesitating the person on the phone looked up our records, asked good questions about how the older dog interacts with other dogs, etc. This was just a small example of the interactions I've had with both staff and doctors at MPH for the past 20 years. Yes, they're busy - probably because they do great work - but they really do care! Read Less

I took my cat to Mission Pet Hospital for about four years. The vets always took a lot of time to explain things to me, in terms I could understand well enough to make decisions (I wish my own doctors were that good about explaining what was going on). The first time I brought him in spotted a heart condition in my cat, for which we successfully treated him for several years. Dr. Jennifer Scarlett had to deliver to me the sad news that he had terminal lymphoma, and did a great job of laying out the options, from kitty chemotherapy (which was unlikely to succeed), to more palliative treatment. She obviously cared a lot, and returned several phone calls about the treatment decisions. I saw that some other reviewers mentioned issues with the receptionists being busy or nonattentive. Busy wouldn't surprise me, but I always found the people behind the desk very conscientious - just occasionally overwhelmed by the many pet owners who definitely gravitate towards this hospital.

My dog has been a (patient) for over 3 years. She has been given excellent care! All the vets are top notch! The staff is friendly and very pet smart! I have never been over charged and feel that the staff and vets really care about my pet. Read Less

They got me in immediately for my sick puppy. Staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. It was very clean, and the vet was nice, efficient and helpful. They didn't overcharge me, I am SO glad we went. Read Less

I had an emergency with my small dog, and could not have been more satisfied and comforted by the people I dealt with at Mission Pet Hospital. They were crowded, yet took the time to explain to me what was happening with my dog. It turned out not to be life threatening, and my dog was sent home with me with some medication and instructions. I could not have been happier with the staff, or the final bill for that matter. I will be bringing my kitty here from now on, too! Great place...in my humble opinion. Read Less

I called and made an appointment, which was an difficult. The girl on the phone was more interested in laughing with her co-workers than helping me. When I arrived 2 of of the so called receptionists were too busy in their conversation to even notice someone had come in. I never made it to my appointment, as while I was waiting, the same two receptionists started going over how much marijuana one wanted to purchase from the other. After hearing that I decided this was not a place I wanted to leave my pet at. I guess if you don't mind your pets being taken care of by a bunch of potheads, then this place is fine. Read Less

In trying to book an appointment for a dog with a chronic health problem, I was told in a very rude manner that I was not allowed to speak to a vet until my dog had a chart and was an established patient. I have a puppy with a chronic condition, and an acute problem. The rude desk person refused to listen to my questions which would have maximized my upcomming visit there. The vets are supposed be great, but the front desk is rude, unprofessional, and not geared toward patient care. Read Less

I've taken my dog here regularly, and everything's always been smooth; the vets always take the time to answer all my questions, and have referred me to excellent specialists when needed (my dog had major leg surgery). No complaints here! Read Less

If a vet at mph recommends an expensive procedure, get a second opinion first. I unfortunately didn't and a different vet at mph told me it wasn't necessary. But if you and your pet need extra stress in your life this is the perfect vet for you! Read Less
