Pearson's Animal Hospital

Dr Pearson and the team are a prime example of what vet clinics should be like. Straight forward, no nonsense, competent staff. Dr Pearson is simply incredible; transparent and never once pushed for unnecessary and costly procedures which most vets do. Thank you for looking after Ozzy. Read Less

I took my 10 week old lab puppy in for his first vet visit. We were greeted immediately and brought back to an examination room. Everyone who helped us was very friendly, although, I felt like we were being rushed in and out as quick as possible. I interacted with about 5 different people, from the first person who met with us, to the doctor herself, to the person who gave my puppy his vaccinations, to the microchip person, and finally to the cashier. It was a little overwhelming, especially for a first visit when you may have a bunch of questions about your dog, which I did. I was never asked if we had any questions, then suddenly the doctor was onto the next examination room. I wanted to tell everyone to "slow down...I have some questions about my new puppy!" All in all, it was a quick and easy experience, but for a first-time visit, I was hoping for a little more one-on-one interaction with the doctor so I could have the opportunity to ask some questions.

We came to Pearson's as 1st time clients on the recommendation of people in our community. At our last Veterinary visit we had been informed that our dog needed a tooth extracted. The cost was far outside of reach for us at the time. After doing research for options I came across the recommendation for Pearson's. We were able to make an appt. within just a few days. Because he had not been seen by them I wanted to make sure that Dr. Pearson had the same diagnosis as well as found him healthy enough to undergo the procedure. After his examination she discovered that he had 2 teeth requiring extraction. She suggested that we proceed that same day. We were so happy that she was able to take him right away and we didn't have to subject him to another trip to the Vet. Not only was she able to complete his care updates and dental work in 1 trip but over an hour sooner than she had projected! He has had no complications after a week of healing and the cost for all of these services was several hundreds less than our original Vet. just to do the 1 extraction. Dr. Pearson is not necessarily the warmest and friendliest Vet. we have met but because of this we were seen at our scheduled time (causing less stress to our dog) and her staff more than made up for this one shortcoming. They were efficient and friendly. We will be returning. Read Less

Super fast, excellent diagnosis, reasonable price and service with love and a huge smile! We have been coming here since 2010 and would never look elsewhere for care. Our boys (Sam and Cloud) love the staff and so do we! AAA+++ Added on 03-12-2018: I have an elderly dog "Sam" who needs daily pain medication and somehow I used the last pill and did not know that I did not have another bottle! I called and Dr. Pearson and her staff set me up in minutes and stayed open for me to run down! I do not know what I would do without Dr. Pearson and her loving staff. Read Less

Allow me to convey to Dr. Pearson our immense gratitude for her professional and loving management, follow-up phone calls for our baby Carlos (who has significant heart murmur) re: his major dental surgery. We thank her, Dr. J. Wypart, and ALL of you who helped us-- from the bottom of our hearts. We are so happy and relieved to see him now doing well, his interest in food and life has returned and he is even running up stairs w/ no problem. Thank you all again SO MUCH! Carlos says I WOOF you!! Read Less

We have been using Dr. Pearson for many years. We own many dogs, and have had a lot of experiences with veterinarians over the years. I also worked for veterinarians for over 15 years. I have been in the back, and in my opinion, many veterinarians are driven by making money, more than animal care. Dr. Pearson is hands down the best veterinarian in the area of Southern California. She doesn't talk patronizingly to you, will tell you like it is, and will not hijack your entire bank account. Will she sweet talk you? No. Don't look for hand holding. But I have never known any veterinarian in So Cal who works so hard for her clients and patients. Read Less

Dorota Pearson is a wonderful vet that really cares about your pet. She has been our bets for years and even though I feel some of her staff don't share the same passion and knowledge as she does, we will still take our dogs to her because we are confident that they will take good care them. One recommendation to some of her staff - educate them with in services so that they are up to date with current treatments and medications. They would of gotten 5 's otherwise.Read Less

Thank you for all that you have done to help care for our foster dogs in need! We know they are in good, loving hands while in your care! We are so happy we found you, and will continue to tell all of our friends, Pearson's is the BEST! Read Less

We have been going to them for years through the county sponsored low cost vaccinations. They are always amazing, prompt, courteous, professional... Seriously, great all around! The procedures have all been perfect, and I am grateful for how well they cared for our beloved pets! Read Less

I adopted a doggy from Labs and More, an amazing organization! They always use this vet as they are given a huge discount... after going in a few times I decided that I love the whole culture there! They are all about the animal and care about keeping cost down! Read Less

Was told my dog had a tumor on her back, immediately paid to have it removed. Not only was the stitching terrible and very haphazard, when we had the stitches removed today they wouldn't even clean the area of what had built up. Would never come here again and I don't even believe they fully removed the tumor. Should have went to another vet for a second opinion, but I was just too concerned for my animal. Read Less

I have been going to Pearson Animal Hospital since she opened it and love it. She has treated and healed all my animals! She takes the time to figure out what is wrong and heals them. She did an amazing job with one of my dogs who was hit by a car and the emergency vet was talking amputation and Dr Pearson healed him and he is great now. I truly recommend her to anyone. ���� Read Less

Our family would like to thank you for all that you have done for our pets. You helped us not to become so over reactive when it came to them and did a great job with our moms cat. Your kindness, patience and thoroughness keeps us coming back. You have a great staff and we appreciate them as well. Read Less

Dr. Pearson at Pearson Animal Hospital is our veterinarian of choice for handling any of the occasional health care issues that we have experienced with our mini Australian Labradoodle since the time "Lady Sasha" came to us as a puppy from Heather Hale in Bakersfield, CA. some 2 years ago. We also like Trupanion pet health insurance which give us peace of mind whenever a call to the vet is made. Read Less

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity and letting me be a small part of your team for my externship. I learned many skills and was able to experience many great things that I couldn't experience anywhere else.Read Less

Fast, friendly, informational & great deal! We are so incredibly grateful for all that you have done to take the best care of our pets over the years! We are especially thankful for all you did this weekend to get that sandal out of Jessie's stomach and make sure she had a smooth recovery! We are so happy that Jessie is feeling better and we owe is all to you! Thank you for taking Jessie home with you and making sure she had the best care - even on your day off! It really helped put our minds at ease knowing Jessie was with you after her surgery! We really appreciated the time you took to send us picture updates via text! We couldn't be more grateful for all that you did to get Jessie feeling better! You really are the best and we are so thankful for the way you love and care for Bug and Jessie! We will continue to recommend you to everyone we know because there's no one else that compares to you that we would ever trust out babies.Read Less

Dr. Pearson is amazing! Absolutely love her. Office staff in sum leave a lot to be desired. You will probably leave irritated after dealing with the front desk staff but your animal will receive unparalleled care and that's what really matters.Read Less

My Vet moved to TX and I was scrambling to locate a Vet in the area that I could entrust my companions with. I found Dr Pearson and felt she has given personal care and sound service to the continued health of my 4 legged kidz! Thank you! Read Less

This vet is the best i have ever gone too. The staff are amazing and helpful always, Dr. Pearson is awesome herself, I love that she gives you options and not just tell you that there is only one option and it has to be paid for oops i mean done. NO other vet can compare to there prices, they are the cheapest around and if you find cheaper they are more then happy to match prices for you. I never need and appointment and the wait is never long. I have been going to this vet for years and never ever had an issue with them, i refer all my family and friends and they all say the same thing, its cheap and the care from the staff and Dr. is great. So for all you HATERS just go back to the vet you left in the first place because you only see things how you are, not openly. So have fun paying up the A** with some other Dr. while I stay with Dr. Pearson and save money and know my animals are being well taken care of. Read Less

My dog Marley was born without a spinal bone right behind his trachea. He did not show any signs or symptoms of the missing bone till he was over a year of age. By this time Marley was partially paralyzed. He was not able to perform simple functions such as squating to poop or pee. He would avoid eating and drinking water because of the pain. He always seemed out of energy. We decided to take Marley to Dr. Pearson by a friend reference. We did not re search any reviews because all we wanted for our family member was to get better. Dr. Pearson prescribed Marley about 6 different prescriptions of drugs, one containing steroids which she claimed ""will numb his pain"" also that ""it will help him walk"". BS. Marley was still in the same condition that he was in before we took him to Person. Not only was Marley so drugged up he couldn't keep his balance what so ever but Pearson could'nt even explain what was wrong with him even after $300 worth of x-rays. We later took Marley to a different vet. Took Marley's x-rays and right then and there the doctor pointed out his missing spinal bone. Doctor explained to our family that Marley needed surgery right away or else any sudden movement can cause his spinal disc to slip and Marley would pass away suddenly. Unfortunately a week before we were able to come up with the money before his surgery he passed away. Our family and I miss Marley dearly. I choose to write this review because not only was Dr. Pearson not able to identify a missing spinal bone in 7 clear and x-rays but she fed our family lies about having an inflamed spine. She gave us prescription to give Marley that honestly did not help him what so ever. We spent nearly a month taking Marley to this un-professional and un-experienced vet when we could have simply gone to the other pet hospital and had time to gather money for Marley's surgery. Because of the time wasted at this vet we have lost our beloved family member. The baby of the family that we had spoiled with love. I would never recommend anyone to take their pets to Dr. Pearson. Not only because I have read all of these awful, heartbreaking reviews but because my family and I also have experienced the worst with this vet. Dr. Pearson, if you or your staff are ones who have stumbled across my review I give you all the right to call me personally on my cell phone so I can express my hate and anger towards you and your un-proffesional staff.

Be very careful with this vet. She writes her own reviews and has negative reviews REMOVED! I have had TERRIBLE experiences here and have heard nothing but horror stories but I'm tired of writing and re-writing the reviews so please.....just ASK AROUND before you take your animal here!! Read Less

puppy package a huge rip off. gave my dog a $45 drink of water. Wanted hundreds of dollers to put down a dying pet. Staff wont tell you about shot clinic for cheaper shots on TUES!!! even when you ask for the cheapest way to get shots, had to find out from a friend they offer clinic shots TUES! Friends who have had dogs fixed were shocked at lazy stitches done half hazardly. I'd never take a pet her for more than just pill for heartworm. They do price match pills but the staff is pissy about it...try to find one with more compassion! the negatives way high...most just arent lodging complains...their are ALOT of unhappy peps w this place Read Less

I have never written a review before but today I felt compelled. This place is WAY TOOO expensive for what they do. It cost $234 to put my 84 yr old mother's cat down. She lives on SSI only. I'm sorry but vets like this place are the reason why animals suffer. Who can afford to take their pets to a mill like this?? AND, what a joke, some of the reviews saying this is one of the cheaper places around!! AND there IS a less expensive vet on RSF about one+ miles North on the right. He looks like he hits the bottle a little but I had a great experience with him and my dog. (and he is exceptionally less in price). I will not recomend him here to prove I am just a pissed off excustomer of Herr Doktor Pearson. Read Less

Have taken my dog in twice for a skin irritation. Was charged a total of $800 for a series of ""Test"" both time, my dog was seen by two different vets, two of the tests were exact duplicates, all came back negative. Was given the exact same medications to give my dog each time, although it apparently didn't work the first time, sadly I trusted this vet. I lost my job, I do not have any money to treat my dog whose condition has worsened since seeing this vet! Now I can not afford to take my dog in to another vet! I am suffering, my dog is suffering and this vet has over $800 of my money for the same tests and meds, when all they had to do was read the previous treatment to see the results of the tests and meds that did not work. Instead they do the same tests and same meds. I'm not a vet, all I can do is trust them, my mistake!! Obviously I questioned the re-testing and ordering the same meds when the meds didn't work the first time, was told I needed to give my dog more of the meds, never got a reason for performing the exact same series of test. I called another vet gave the symptoms over the phone the other vet said the first thing that he'd so was order an allergy test. I physically went back to this vet and asked why they never did an allergy test, I was told I never requested it!! And that it would be an additional $400!! I still have no idea what is wrong with my dog. Either these two vets are incompetent or scammers, either case I will not go back or ever recommend them as I am sure they couldn't care less what I do, they have my $800+ dollars for doing nothing. I have no proof even that they actual performed a test. Beware of this vet. A lady who works with me took her dog in one time for a flea treatment, I think it was approx $65, thanks to a ""complication"" her dog nearly died from what they called ""anxiety"" from the treatment. It was shot for fleas! Of which the dog has had since a pup, from other vets when the lady lived in San Fran. This flea treatment ended up costing over $400 plus they recommended the dog stay over night at an additional cost of hundreds more! Read Less

For over 25 years I took my pets to a more expensive vet in town and received wonderful service. But out of convenience and affordability I took my new lab pup to Dr. Pearson for all her shots and puppy check ups. The staff and Dr are wonderful. I love that I do not need an appointment and they open early. I have never had to wait long. Now we have a new family member that we paid over 2500 dollars for and I trust Pearson with all of his care! We LOVE this vet. Read Less

I was referred by a friend and will never go back. Had two unfortunate mistakes by this vet. Brought two of my jack russell terriers and one died as a result of an injection of an unusual pain medication for bite wounds ( caused liver to shut down ). Second was a misdiagnosis of a tooth that rotted and later cost 400 additional bucks. She seems nice but it seems to be more of an assembly line. Read Less

I've taken Bella Fidooooch here ever since I had her. It's been about 7 years and I have no major complaints. My dog is a 90 lbs ridgeback mix. I'v never had to wait more than 5 mins and have been pleased with the care my baby gets. I've called and received good advice for various things going on with my dog. We're both happy. Read Less
