Clean animal hospital. Friendly compassionate staff. I really feel my pet is cared for here and not at all viewed as $. They are fast and Dr.Kang is a very nice and intelligent doctor. I recommend this place highly to anyone who cares for their pet as part of the family. Im very grateful for this place. Read Less

DR Kang and staff are the best! Our dog Raquel has been treated by him a few times, they are professional, caring, helpful, quite simply the best in the business. I highly recommend you bring your loved pet to see him! DR Kang will take great care of you!Ken & Monica Byrd Simi Valley Read Less

I was referred to this vet after rescuing a puppy. Very nice facility and very nice staff. I'm giving only 3 stars because I am appalled by their prices! I used to live in Agoura and even those vets offices were half the cost of this vet! My first visit that was comped still cost me $120 for ONE shot and fecal collection/analysis. Then I had to come back with a fecal sample that I collected myself and it STILL cost $75! In Agoura if you bring your own fecal sample it's only like $25 for them to test it. So, needless to say I will not be returning to this vet. I feel like it is prices like this that deter people from getting their pets the help they need! Not everyone has an extra $300 every time they step into a vets office but we all love our animals like family but can't put our human family on the street for a vet visit. I will continue going to my vet in Moorpark. It's a shame that I was under the impression that this was going to be a vet with reasonable prices since it was recommended by the rescue. Unfortunately it was not that and I should have followed my guy and took him to my regular vet. Read Less

These people are angels. They are kind and friendly even when I bring in my demon-cat. They don't charge me a "your cat is an asshole" fee even though that would be perfectly understandable. Thank you Dr. Kang and staff! Max is healthy enough to try to murder everyone in sight, before cuddling up contentedly in my lap. I really, really appreciate everything you do. Read Less

Our cat wasn't socialized properly as a kitten, so he's not so much a cat as a demon-creature. Devil incarnate with fur. But I take him in every couple years, and they sedate him, and treat him without complaint. Thank you for keeping my small dragon healthy. These people are worth every penny. Wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable. Read Less

I gave Dr. Kang, his staff, and his clinic 5 stars because....Dr. Kang - highly educated (not just a vet), super nice, patient, extremely thorough and detailed with his evaluation(s) and treatments. I brought in my dog, which was a breed he never worked with, and he did his research on my dog, and was well prepared to be his vet. I've been to many Vets in Simi Valley, as a local, and this is by far the best experience I've had with a local vet. The vets in Simi are wonderful, but I can't tell you how many of them have made me feel rushed, and don't really value my pup(s) - just my opinion on that though. I always have lots of questions, and he makes the time to answer them in detail. Staff - Staff is at par, friendly, love animals, and do their job well. Clinic - office is separated (dogs on one side, cats and exotics on the other), very clean, and well equipped. What I really love, is every time I go in there, the appointments are spaced out properly, where there isn't 10 dogs in a waiting room. Every-time, I've gone to another local vet, there office is filled with dogs and I always have to wait (even though I'm on time), and I find them unprofessional. That's not the case here - if your appointment is at 10:30, you'll be seen at 10:30 and that efficiency is important to me.Pricing - Okay...so at first I thought he was expensive as well. I did some research and his clinic visit price (the price you pay every visit regardless) is on average $5.00 cheaper or at par with local vets. Medication, shots, etc...are at par, and he has days of the months, where you can come in and your dog gets shots at a discount. I don't recall the name of the program, but for those on a budget, it's available. I haven't neutered my dog, so I don't know how he compares to other local vets on that. I bet though, if he is higher, he will price match - he seems like someone that cares more about the long-term relationship than the immediate $, but I could be wrong - let me know.If you want a vet that knows his "stuff" and makes you and your pet feel valued - then this is the vet for you. I have no idea how much surgery or any special cases cost, but the basics (shots, health checks, medicine, etc...) are competitive in pricing and you won't have to wait for long periods of time, surrounded by a dozen other animals, like most vets in Simi.

I have been a customer at rancho sequoia since its opening over thirty years agoAnd have never been disappointed with its vetsHowever they don't last and after the original owner died others have sold after only a few years  I gather the profit from the business doesn't meet their expected needs.I have been pleased with the diagnoses I received from drKang even though his prices according to friends are high. I have no basis of comparison.My almost 14 year old poodle recently had an accident which dislocated his hip - I had him taken from the emergency hospital so he could be treated at RanchoThe prognosis at the hospital matched dr kang's and even though it required surgery and he is old I went along with it.I was told hip could come out of socket again after surgery and that sent up a red flag - after all the dog is in his 90's in human terms. Then more bad news - when blood tests were run my dog was sick with pancreatitis and a bladder infection that was independent of the hip problem. He was healthy for his teeth cleaning in June so this was a shock and his age was showing.That's when I began to have reservations and felt it was inhumane to put an old sick dog (they live fourteen yrs if you are lucky)through surgery with these conditions.Dr Kang had already started treatment but had called to get my permission to  treat his ills to get him ready for surgery. I said put him down and I was shocked when he said if i was asking that he wouldn't do it. I was intimidated and let him go ahead at great cost to us.He was sent home with a urine soaked bandage (called a sling) because he was in a pen. What would it have taken to clean him up with a clean one before he was handed over.And meds with no written instructions and the bandage still wrapped around his leg from the intravenous needle and told to come back in a week. They even forgot to give me his collar and we were the only patients there because they were closing. The next day the bandage fell off, the dog walked out of his pen on all four legs at great danger to himself and i had to once again take him to emergency to see if the hip came out of the socket, another X-ray and another wrapping. This was such an iffy situation from the beginning and still is and  told that if hip comes out it means another operation to put it back or removing the ball end and allowing the dog to develop his hip muscles so he can walk on his legs with one unattached at even higher costs than this operation.We are devoted caregivers and are in a quagmire with a very old dog who has lived a good life but deserves to die with dignity and not after two or three operations, especially ones that offer only recurrences of the same problem.I know we were asked to give a positive review and get a 5% discount and though I have been pleased with perfunctory exams and good diagnosis to date we can't agree with this one. My husband sees it as a profit opportunity the dr didn't want to let go of -I just want my dog to enjoy some quality of life with the little time he has left.The thing that really got me was that the emergency hospital called me to ask about the dog after our first visit and we didn't even get a call the day after surgery from our dr to ask the same thing - but then it was the weekend and you are turned over to the emergency room.He is a tough little guy and I am hoping for the best, even if he is in his nineties, but he will never undergo another surgery.When I asked at the hospital what can an owner do in that situation and the vet refuses to put the dog down and takes over and I was told that I should have taken him to another vet  - he added that after all  the dog is very old and after doing this surgery some dogs are never the same and the hip may come out needing further surgeries. Guess I should have been more forceful but it's the dr knows best mentality and in a tight situation it's easy to give in. Hindsight is always 20-20. Read Less

Have been coming here since 1986 after moving to Simi Valley. Dr Kang is very informative and answers all questions asked and in a way you can understand. He was so kind when we had to let our Spike go in July after nearly 17 years. Today we took in Houdini our new love we adopted last Wednesday. Between the two of us he should have a long and wonderful life. Thank you Read Less

Dr Kang is great. Cares about the animal with no pressure to do elective procedures; he let's you decide. The entire office staff also cares about the pets and they seem to enjoy where they work. Dr Kang has a good sense humor and I'm happy to give him my money. Read Less

I brought our rescued Peach Face Love Bird, "Georgia" in to see Dr. Kang for a check up today. He, and his staff, were very kind. We are glad to hear she is happy and healthy and we will be back, if need be! Thank you Dr. Kang!! Read Less

I was referred to Rancho Sequoia after I rescued a kitten from the Ventura County Animal Services Camarillo location. I called on a Saturday morning and was shocked when they had a spot available for me that day at 10am. So off we went! We arrived and it was nice to have 2 separate waiting rooms; one for dogs and the other for cats and exotics. We checked in and waited maybe 5 minutes before  we were in a room waiting to meet the doctor. Our kitten had her vitals checked and within 5 minutes the doctor was in to meet our kitten. He did a quick but thorough examination and was great in terms on including my two year old daughter in the process.My only gripe is that we left with 2 medications and one on order in addition to the medication my kitten was given at the shelter. She also had to have a tapeworm shot even though the shelter did a de-worming treatment.  Needless to say my free check-up turned into an almost $150 trip. I trust that the doctor gave me great service to help my kitten heal up from her upper respiratory infection but I wish there was a way that I didn't end up with such a high cost. My old vet actually gave a 20% off services if it was a rescue FOREVER. I'll be back but I'll expect that there will be a cost for sure. Read Less

Dr. Kang and his staff are the very best in Simi Valley veterinary care.  Believe me when I say this.  About 2 years ago I nearly lost my precious puppy by taking her to another local vet, trying to save a few dollars.  Never, ever will I do this again.  After 3 days of using her as a guinea pig as her health continued to decline, I took her to see Dr. Kang knowing this was the best I could do at this point.  Within 1 hour he diagnosed her properly and began treating her appropriately.  She started showing signs of improvement within 12 hours and home the next day completely on the mend.  He saved her life and mine as far as I'm concerned.  Never trust your furry, 4 legged loves to anyone else!

Dr Kang is the best.  Love this Vet.  Never have to wait.  Usually get an appoitments same day.  Does not over charge.  Great friendly  staff.  I made this my permanent  vet 2 years ago.  Used to gp to Alamo Vet.  Not happy with them.Go see Dr Kang!  Very loving to my two dogs! Read Less

Dr. Kang and his staff are always so good to our pets.  They realize they are a part of our family and treat them as their own.  They know our cats personalities and calm them down immediately.  Our dog just passed away unexpectedly and Dr. Kang called us later just to see how we were doing and how the kids were.  I will never forget that.  Losing our dog was so difficult and he understood.

I've been going to Ranch Sequoia Vet for over 4 years now. My dog has had this skin problem for awhile and Dr. Kang thoroughly assessed my dog.  When we first came for the problem, he provided me will all the alternatives to treat my dog. It could've just been an allergic reaction, allergy to food, allergy to shampoo, or allergy in the air. We took the necessary steps to figure out what was wrong with her.What I liked was that he did not go straight to the most expensive procedure. He went with the proper steps to find out what my dog was really allergic too. I kept trying to avoid the most expensive treatment but since the problem wasn't getting better every year I knew that was the last option. Now my dog is doing great!I feel happy with my decision and don't feel like he was just trying to get money off me. (I've had pretty bad experiences with other vets) He really respected what I wanted and always provided me with options. Dr. Kang puts his patients first and wants to find the best option for you and your pet.Great Doctor! Great Employees! Great Service! Read Less

We are very happy bringing our dog to this veterinary hospital. Dr Kang is compassionate, kind, and friendly. He is always willing to spend the time to answer any question or concern. The office staff are always friendly and helpful. The place is immaculately clean. Our dog actually seems happy to go to the vet. Read Less

My one star rating is purely for the one receptionist who took my call and gave me false information that resulted in over 3 hours of my mom's wasted time, a half hour of mine, and pointless stress to my cats.Yesterday I called. A male answered the phone, and assured me that the vet would be open today (day before Thanksgiving) to take the call from my cats' new groomer to confirm shots were up to date. He told me, "Yes we'll be here." And I told him, "Great! Expect the call around 12:30, thanks!"They were not open today. By the time my mother (who was taking the cats for me while I was at work) and I found a way to access this basic information online through the cats' ePetHealth with which this vet documents the animals health, the cat groomer had to go home (he is kindly returning to work for us on black Friday when he had the day off in order to help us)I know this is one small mistake made by one person, but it was so easily avoidable and has caused so much distress to my mother and to my two cats. One star. Read Less

I called Sequoia Veterinary clinic to ask a few general questions. I am not a pet owner, although my good friend has a few dogs that I lightly adopt when he leaves town. With that said, I thought it would be a great idea to treat them to a few bacon grease dipped sticks from my yard. Little did I know, the dogs would tear through the sticks like a popular drug called crack. The older one seemed not to be fazed by the wood, although the other surprisingly starting hacking about 30 minutes later. Uh Oh. So I called the veterinarian, and asked if I should be concerned. The last thing I want, is to explain why my friends dog died over bacon sticks. That sounds horrible. Anyhow, the help desk was very helpful, and seemed to be concerned with the animal's well being. It turns out, this is not a good treat for animals, and I had to watch them closely for the next couple of days. If the dogs chewed it up enough, it is not likely to cause blockage, although it can cause constipation. Ouch! If any additional symptoms were evident, I was to bring the mutts in to see the doctor. They ended up okay, although I believe I found a great place to take my future pets. Great service and very helpful. Read Less

I have mutliple pets (cats and dogs) and I take them all to Dr. Engelsen and Dr. Guthrie. They are so wonderful with all of them...even though one of my cats is NOT well behaved, they are super patient with her. They always explain the treatments and options to me so I feel like I understand everything. I just stumbled on this vet, but I feel so lucky to have them taking care of my animals. Read Less

I brought my cat in after having issues with treatment at another vet. Dr. Engelsen and Dr. Guthrie have both worked with my cat, Lily, and helped stabilize her despite her numerous health problems. They always get back to me if I call in with questions and are so extremely helpful. You feel like one of the family with their staff. Read Less

I have never met such a caring and wonderful woman. She saved my dog's life! I brought him in vomiting and looking like death. She saw him immediately and found a super tiny bee stinger stuck inside his lip. She removed it, got him on fluids and had him ready to go home hours later. I can't believe her poise and expertise as I frantically screamed over her shoulder that my dog was dying. Thank you Dr. Engelsen!!!! Read Less

I can't believe how amazing everyone at this clinic is! The receptionists are amazingly friendly and the doctors are outstanding. I've seen both doctors and I'm impressed by how exceptional they both are. I highly recommend this vet! Read Less

I took my newly adopted chihuahua straight from the shelter to the staff at Rancho Sequoia. Not only was the staff loving and sweet with him (he was a bit traumatized), but the doctor was genuinly caring. She answered all my questions, and got my pup back in tip top shape in no time (he had parasites and several rotted teeth).I have had a lot of experience with vets who seemed to care more about cash than my animals, but I can say that it's truly not the case here. I'm so glad I finally found a vet I can trust!!!! Read Less

There are so many vets that seem like they don't care, but when I brought my chronically sick cat to Rancho Sequoia I finally found a group that listened and took a genuine interest in my cat's health. I am so happy with the docs and service! Read Less

Hello,I walked in to set up an appointment, but since my dog was with me they said they could fit me in. I waited in the waiting room for an hour! Then they put me in a room and I waited for over 15 minutes until the vet tech came in the room. She weighed him and took his temperature and left. Then the doctor came in over 10 minutes later spent 2 minutes with my dog moving his front leg and said she would bring back an estimate of cost for sedation. The vet tech came back with a $600 bill and that was all she wrote!!!! The staff was not friendly and I felt robbed! Even after I told them that I thought the $50 appt payment was excessive, they insisted that it didn't matter how long the vet spent with the dog it was her years of expertise. I have never had such poor service and overpriced proceedures with any other vets! Find a better vet for your loved one! Read Less
