Apollo Veterinary has treated my pets and rescues for many years. Dr. Gil was most caring with my small dog and he found that she had a serious heart problem and prescribed her medication. Thanks to his diagnosis, we were able to take her to a cardiologist who treated and followed her condition. We loved and rejoiced being able to have her with us for a couple of years. We dearly miss her! Read Less

Apollo veterinary team has been most helpful throughout the years with my rescue pets. Most recently, I brought in a kitty who had been abandoned & needed immediate care. Thanks to their prompt action, they treated her dehydration & also her skin infection. The vets and the staff are very courteous and friendly. They assist me in carrying the crate in and out of my car because I am disabled. Read Less

Front staff was very helpful and informative, until i was disconnected. The lady was nice but then told me that i was intentionally hung up on, responding "The DOCTOR did it. He was getting annoyed and didn't want me to have a long conversation." For someone who cares about their pet and balancing financials, the WORST thing you can do to them is hang up on a client who has serious questions. They helped with my pet before and were genuine, but now? That's childish and wrong. If anything, the doctor should have taken the phone and answered the questions himself to make it speedier or tell me to call back at a convenient time. But hanging up on a concerned client? That's a horrible move. Ill be going in to pick up my pets meds and ill have a talk to whomever the Dr. was that was that rude. Read Less

I would leave negative 0 stars if I could. Do not take your pets here if you love them! They care more about money than they do about you animals. Dr. Gill misdiagnosed my dog Missy and by the time she was properly diagnosed somewhere else it was too late - I had to have her euthanized. To add insult to injury Dr. Gill returned my dead dog to me in a garbage bag as if she were trash. When I posted a negative review on Yelp Dr. Kevin threatened my friend who had referred me to them that he would no longer be her vet if she didn't talk me into removing the review. I removed it for her. I don't give a f*#$ about him or what he wants. If you love your fur babies STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Read Less

Glad that I met Dr. Gill at Petco in Walnut Creek when I brought my kitten in for shots. He saved me a day trip to Vacaville's low cost neuter/spay clinic. I was previously unable to find a local vet who would spay a cat for less then $550.00. Dr Gill did it for close to $140.00, it included surgery, anesthesia, and pain meds. My kitten is feeling just fine. Will be regular clients there from now on. Read Less

The only reason I give this place a 1 star is the staff. The Dr., (Kevin) I have to say needs his license taking away. No compassion for pets from what I see now. At first I went to the place in Pittsburg, got shots for my dogs. Then recently my little dog starting having seizures. Took him to emergency in Antioch, which is an amazing place. After that, they said see your regular vet for a check up. Which I did with Apollo. My dog had another seizure a week later. So took him in to be seen by Kevin. He hardly checked him. My dog is a little Chihuahua, they tend to bite if they are uncomfortable. Duh this is your job you.... I will leave that unsaid. Well, he wants to say I think he may have developed epilepsy. Let's start him on phenobarbital. Poor dog had to take 2 times a day. Started it, dog was being weird, off balance, but from researching the drug that is what it does. Well a week goes by and still poor guy off balance, isn't pooping right so call them to find out how I can help my dog with this. Kevin wants to put him on my drugs. I don't want to, but I am not a vet and I am here trying to help my little guy. Well it helped with the poo but made him really bad to the point where he couldn't get up. So I call the Dr again, cause I am concerned this isn't normal. Kevin says, oh it's okay. No it's not... WTF. Mind you I call to have the doctor call me and of course he doesn't call back, I have to call and get a hold of him. Horrible I already paid you lots of money. Well, dog was still bad after 2 weeks I call again and we lowered the seizure medicine and it helped a little. Dog got used to the phenobarbital and I was thinking okay things are looking up. Well week goes by and almost time to take him in for blood work to see how is levels are with the med. But then again, having issues. So I decided to do my own research. The medicine for his poo was the one causing some issues. Tried calling vet again to ask some questions and of course no return calls. Then I bring him in cause he isn't eating or drinking water and just seem not to get better. Kevin doesn't really check him even in though I am paying him to check him, and takes him in the back and gives him meds and here you go, telling me he will be fine. This is BS. Gives me refills of the meds he is already on and ups the phenobarbital before the damn blood works comes back. Really? I take my guy home, continue giving him the meds and still not really that good. Ended up having to take him to the emergency again, in Antioch. The vet there took her time with him, we went over many things, she even called the neurologist I had an appt with on Aug. 28th. They went over some things and said it may be a brain tumor or lesion. And the emergency vet and I went over some things. She gave me some virtigo medicine, cause he was bad to the point where my dog was going in circles, he couldn't hold himself up, he was peeing on himself, not being normal, super sleepy and wouldn't eat or drink water. I took him home Tuesday and Wed the Antioch emergency called me and checked on him, which Kevin will never do. We had a long good talk and the quality of my little dogs life wasn't getting any better. So unfortunately I made the hardest decision of my life, and an unselfish one, was to let him go in peace and no longer suffer. So Dr. Kevin, if you read this, I would hope you would take your job more serious. These pets our like our children. You took this position to help people and their pets. I know you get busy, and may not have all the answers, but be honest with people. This is a life, a breathing animal who has feelings and can feel things. This is not a test subject. Spend time with people who are paying for your services, not make them feel rushed, or bothering you. Actually do your damn job or close shop. Your staff are very nice but I have to say you made me hate how you practice and I will do everything and anything to let people know to NEVER EVER GO TO YOUR PRACTICE. And I will never bring any of my animals to you ever again.I may have left some stuff out, but whoever is reading this, really don't take your animal here. Staff is great, but doctors don't give a shit. I spent so much money on shit that wasn't helping at all and Kevin didn't even try to really help. They should be sued! Read Less

After my dad had a decent first visit with this vet he sadly a month later had to decide to euthanize his cat. He had cancer in the leg plus an infection and was doing poorly. When I called Apollo, I asked how much it would cost to do a euthanasia and my dad were to take home the remains. They went and checked with the doctor and came back on the phone and told me since he was just in, it would only be $100. That was good with my dad so, he headed on in.When he arrived, he was told completely different. They wanted to place an IV catheter and an IV line in our cat- WHY?! My dad was confused we just needed to put him out of his misery but was caught of guard. They then proceeded to tell my dad he would not be allowed to be present for the procedure if he did not do the IV catheter and fluids. After it was all said and done, they brought Teddy out, in a shoe box with ice and charged my dad $178.... this place is a total rip off and the abuse you when you're at your lowest. Do not recommend EVER. No bed side manner and they lied over the phone about costs 30 minutes before his appointment.. *edit* I live in Washington so I sadly could not be here to help my dad but when I heard what they charged they sent me the bill as they refused to discuss with me over the phone and I was disgusted.

I will NEVER EVER take another animal here again. If you love your pets avoid this place at all costs. The staff was nice but that is about all I have nice to say about this place. The Dr visit fee was inexpensive, this n being open till midnight n supposedly not charging an after hrs/emergency fee is how they draw you in....but they get you on everything else and start tacking on things that you never agreed to nor need. My little dog was very sick and I was so worried that I didn't want to wait till the next morning for his vet to open so this is why we went here. Everything was about $250. Blood work $250, X-ray $250, fluids $245...next question...how much funds do you have? The Dr did not diagnose our dog, did not take his temp, did not check his heart rate, did not check his breathing, they didn't even weigh him, I did....while waiting! He said he was dehydrated n gave our dog some "fluids" and brought him out to us with a big lump on his back, fluid literally seeping out of it and said that this is normal and will go away over time.  If it is or isn't I don't know but it didn't look right to me. They Sent us home with antibiotics for a bacterial infection n cimetidine.  When I called 3 days later to tell them he wasn't getting better they never even asked for his name! They didn't offer for me to talk to or leave a msg for the Dr and then told me "you can force feed him with a syringe". We  took him to his regular vet and brought our receipt showing what they did and charged us for and basically I was charged for a bunch of bullshit. Anti diarrhea meds...never had diarrhea, multiple other meds with no explanation. Basically fluff to bring my cost up.  My lil dog literally almost died and is still fighting for his life. I don't know how someone can call them self a Dr and operate like this. Prescribed antibiotics n didn't know if he had an infection or what type of infection it was (bacterial or systemic) to prescribe the proper type. Very unethical, if this was a human being I would file a complaint with the medical board and if I can file a complaint with a veterinary/animal medical board I absolutely will. This is some back room abortion, 3rd world country type $h!+ that has a legit looking store front. They also have another hospital in Pittsburg called Animal Hospital of Pittsburg...same Dr..Dr Kevin aka Karan Dosanjh Lic # 17154. As of today...8 days later I have not heard a word fr them other than a buch of emails thanking me for my positive review (which I never gave) and asking that I give a review on YELP n Google. Well here you go. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT ANIMALS THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT YOUR "FUNDS". Read Less

I regret reading the reviews on here and not going to Apollo first for my dog. Dr. Gill and Dr. Kevin were amazing. Even though we couldn't save our baby, they genuinely wanted to try everything they can for him. My husband and I ended up taking our dog to Apollo because they were the only ones open later at night that wasn't an emergency clinic and they were able to get our baby happy and on his feet for one more night and we will forever cherish that night. I do not think that their prices are high, they are very reasonable and they were so much more accommodating than other vets I have come across. Totally love this place, the people and the service. I will be changing vets for my other dog. I know that he will be in good hands. I say at the very least, visit their facility before passing up because of the ratings. You will not regret it.

DONT TAKE YOUR PET HERE! they just want $$$This is the worst place of business I have encountered!!!! they need to have a no star rating. I should have listened to the yelp review before going but it was just so close to my home. My cat had not been eating and vomiting so I took him. First off the Dr. had very poor communication and gave me alot of I don't know responses. and jut threw the estimates on me. he gave me 2 options to do. one of which was x-ray and other was Iv fluids and a medication of course  i wanted to try the fluid and med 1st. which was no success. So i took him back for x-rays. and the first thing they do to me is throw the estimate at me with an additional cost that was not explained prior then they  tell me go pay now without the xrays even being done. SO I said can I wait till after. they then told me to leave and find a new vet cause i dont trust them. Obviously they dont care about animals. ALL THEY WANT IS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

DO NOT BRING YOU PET HERE! My dog ate a lot of  chocolate chip cookies so I rushed out of the house to bring him to the vet for immediate care. Upon entering the exam room, my dog was barking and wagging his tail in excitement as Dr. Gil ignored him. He immediately began to talk about treatment and left the room. Within minutes, he came back with an invoice, for an outstanding $353 and a muzzle (although he showed no signs of aggression). When I looked to grab my wallet, I noticed I had forgotten it at home due to the rush.  He refused to begin care for my dog until the invoice was paid in full.  He said to go back home (18 miles away) with my dog and get my wallet but I had to find a way to pay for this $29 office visit and if I didn't he would put me into collections. I reiterated that I did not have my wallet and he continued to criticize me for driving without my license. I mentioned that if I go back home I would still have to pick up my kids from practice and then he asked what was more important picking up my kids or my dogs life. WTH! He also mentioned that upon return I would need to pay an additional $29 since it qualifies as a second office visit. In the essence of time between the time my dog ate the chocolate and the 6 o'clock hour, I had asked a relative for a CC number so they could get started and they gladly charged the card. I still had to go back to get the relatives signature, their physical CC and DL during his treatment. Upon my return, he mentioned  further treatment to ensure all the chocolate was out but I refused to pay more and got out of there as soon as I could.I will never go back there again and I do not feel he is a veterinarian you can trust. He does not have your pets best interest in mind but more so his business. I have a terrible feeling that pet owners are being taken advantage of during emergent events with their pets at this establishment. Read Less

A friend had a horrible experience here. He took his dog who had been attacked by another dog here. The Vet quoted him $1,800 for surgery. That turned into $4,400 when he went to pick the dog up! He paid what he could and offered payments. The Vet refused and would not release the dog until the bill was paid in full, and charged $40 per day for boarding. A GoFundMe page helped but did not bring in the full amount still due. The owner offered to make payments but the Vet refused. Each day the bill increased with boarding. It took a phone call from a local community leader to get the dog out after 15 days, and now the dog has a tail injury from banging its tail on the cage. It truly appears that someone saw an opportunity to make money in this case. Very poor public relations. Read Less

This is the only vet my dog has seen since moving to CA. I was reluctant at first because the reviews were not the greatest. Mostly the negative reviews were centered around prices and the fact they were kinda high. And to that I will say I feel they are pricey, however I do feel like they have a genuine care for animals. The staff is very friendly. The center itself is not about frills, it can definitely use an uplift. It looks a little dreary and usually has a little smell. I will also add, their hours of operation is very convenient. I usually can always depend on them being available for an appt or for boarding. They have late pick up and drop off times and are reasonably priced for boarding. They don't walk the dogs though, they are in kennels the whole time. I was ok with that knowing I was leaving my dog at a hospital. Read Less

Found a nice looking older yellow lab on a Friday afternoon (the beginning of a 3 day weekend) about a mile from this veterinarian clinic near Pleasant Hill BART. It had no tags. Spent about 30 minutes checking the surrounding neighborhood for an owner. No luck. Called the shelter in Martinez who wouldn't be open until next Tuesday. The dog more or less walked me into this veterinarian's office. Upon entering I explained to the lady behind the counter "I found this dog..." and before I finished my sentence, a man in a lab coat behind her replied, "He can't stay here." Maybe it was a bad day for the vet, or maybe he just doesn't care about animals that don't come with $$$ as they walk through the door? I managed to convince the vet to check him for a chip. The vet checked, and checked again, no chip. I asked if I could keep the cheap nylon leash they had initially slipped over the dog (I had been walking him by bending over holding him by the collar until this point) and was told no. Thankfully, they had a leash in lost and found for me. With the leash in hand, I hoped that maybe he would be ready to walk home. Took him to the spot where I initially found him, and sure enough, the dog proceeded to walk me down a few streets until we arrived at a family playing outdoors. I asked if they knew/recognized the dog, and sure enough, it was their neighbors. I talked to the owners of the dog - the dog had gotten it's collar/tags off that morning and then gotten out a gate recently when the painters left it open. They were thrilled to have him back.

So it's in your court Apollo - were you incompetent when you installed the chip or when you went to scan for it?

I agree with all of the negative reviews.  I do like Dr. Kevin quite a bit more than Dr. Gil, but mostly my complaint is that they get you in there with that really low office visit.  But, then you get charged hundreds of dollars for something very minor, so in the end, you pay way more.  I used to go there for several years until I got tired of the overcharging, without even asking me first what I would like to do.  But one time in particular sticks out in my memory where I felt completely overcharged.  My dog had been hiking and he had several cut up pads on his paws.  I brought him in, and I should have been charged only the office visit and told that vaseline would have healed them up in a few short days.  Instead, I had to pay to put him under, remove some of the pads with scissors, and put him on 2 medications, which I used for about 2 days then decided it was just way overkill, as all he really needed was some vaseline on his paws every night before going to bed, then they healed up quite fine on their own.  What should have been $30, was over $300.  I have been much happier since with another Walnut Creek vet where the office visit is higher, but I am given my options and allowed to choose what course of action I would like to take, and it's never excessive.

It has taken me a while to write this review and I just want to let Kevin know that we appreciate the level of care that he gave our old man Rocco. The staff at the office couldn't have been nicer and Kevin is hands down the best Vet we have seen in our 9 years in Northern California. The 20 mile drive from Dublin to Walnut Creek is well worth it. Office hours are unbelievably convenient the cost for care is without a doubt the best in the area and the caring that exudes from everyone in this office is very noticeable. This was the first time I have been to a vet without feeling like having a big dollar sign tattooed on my forehead. We will now be bringing all of our pets to this newfound awesome Veterinary Hospital. I just wanted to say thank you to Kevin and his staff Read Less

We took our cat to have him checked for a condition he had where he was drooling a lot. On initial investigation we found that it looked like there might have been a tumor in his jaw. Due to this we setup various tests to test the fluids from the tumor. We were charged for the services prior to their execution.On our follow up visit it turned out that his jaw bone was growing and it was not a tumor. Given this information, one would think that it would affect the billing since the test plan had now changed. However, this was not something that was raised and somehow the bill ended up being exactly the same. That's funny how that works.To finish the story, our cat would be put down a few weeks later. We took him back to this location and I have to say they did a great job with the procedure. Though the procedure seemed overly costly, this wasn't going to be something we were going apply yet more stress to our cat about before his passing. The overall taste I had in my mouth after leaving the facility was that they are just trying to squeeze every dime they can out of you. Read Less

Let me start by saying I love this place. They take good care of my two dogs. The only reason the stars aren't higher is because one night going in to pick up my pets after their exam, I got robbed of my purse in the parking lot. Speaking to people in that area it seems to be a reoccurring theme for that unfortunate parking lot where people's cars are broken into and things are stolen. I will continue to see this clinic but I will never schedule an appointment in the dark hours again; daylight hours only.So if you have a fancy car or have anything worth taking in it, make sure it's highly protected and don't leave anything worth being broken into. This is so sad because I'm sure this can or has effected the business negatively because it's a regularly targeted lot. What's more unfortunate is that the Walnut Creek police don't do an at least regular survey of the lot in the dark hours knowing themselves it's been an average occurrence but really isn't doing much to catch the people at large breaking into others' belongings. But in a nutshell, I love this place. I am still going to be a returning for future treatments for my animals. Read Less

My son took his dog to this doctor in an emergency situation. Most veterinarians are compassionate professionals who are fair and ethical businessmen as well. My son instead encountered the exact opposite. My son's dog was treated by the owner of this establishment, which should mean that he would encounter the best possible care. Instead, the "doctor" briefly examined the dog, and then when asked what the suggested treatment would cost, they were given only a unsubstantiated number that the "doctor" pulled out of his head. They then asked for the diagnosis and the financial breakdown in writing, which is something that is provided at all clinics and hospitals that I have ever encountered. The response was an aggressive, rude and unreasonable one, saying that the "doctor's" time was being wasted, they would not be provided with anything in writing and that they needed to decide immediately whether or not they wanted to move forward with treatment. This was not a life-threatening situation, and as the unsubstantiated treatment cost was over $400, it did not seem unreasonable to give a young pet owner an opportunity to consider costs and affordability. When my son did not give a prompt response, he was met with a "If you're not gonna do it now, then get the "f*#k out of here." My 4 year old grandson was in the room, and as with any parent, my son was quite angry at the language and behavior exhibited by a so-called professional in his presence. If this is the way this owner runs his business, I would definitely avoid trusting this business with the care of a loved, four-legged member of my family.Read Less

Stay away from this place!!! Long story short, took my dog in, got x-rays, surgery was recommended, I asked for copies of the X-rays and a written estimate. The dr told me to just take a picture with my phone. At that visit, I was quoted 3500-3800. I called back at the end of the next week for the estimate, and was told no estimate and it was 32-3600, again said I wanted it in writing. Called 2 days later and was told 36-4200. When I told him I wanted a written estimate, I was told to shove the written estimate up my ass(exact words). I went down there and demanded a copy of all my pets files/records, and was told they would mail them to me and would not give them to me right then.

I am very sad to write this review but after a dozen chances I can't tolerate such shameful sloppiness anymore. The wait can be two or three hours for a routine shot appointment and even after they are finished it may take 45 minutes to an hour to get your cat brought out or a simple liquid medication filled. They overcharge horrendously on everything. Dr. Gill tried to charge us $95 to have my cats butt shaved by saying she had to be sedated or he couldn't do it. We have had this done for her many times previously by vet techs who had no problem at all keeping her under control. Just to put this into perspective Petsmart charges $12 to do this and I suspect they are overcharging at this scale for all their services. I recently stopped by to pick up cat food and was told both my cats were overdue for crucial vaccines. When I asked why I hadn't been called to make an appointment they simply had no explanation. The vet techs are very understaffed and overworked and it shows painfully. Read Less

Front staff was very helpful and informative, until i was disconnected. The lady was nice but then told me that i was intentionally hung up on, responding "The DOCTOR did it. He was getting annoyed and didn't want me to have a long conversation." For someone who cares about their pet and balancing financials, the WORST thing you can do to them is hang up on a client who has serious questions. They helped with my pet before and were genuine, but now? That's childish and wrong. If anything, the doctor should have taken the phone and answered the questions himself to make it speedier or tell me to call back at a convenient time. But hanging up on a concerned client? That's a horrible move. Ill be going in to pick up my pets meds and ill have a talk to whomever the Dr. was that was that rude. Read Less

The only reason I give this place a 1 star is the staff. The Dr., (Kevin) I have to say needs his license taking away. No compassion for pets from what I see now. At first I went to the place in Pittsburg, got shots for my dogs. Then recently my little dog starting having seizures. Took him to emergency in Antioch, which is an amazing place. After that, they said see your regular vet for a check up. Which I did with Apollo. My dog had another seizure a week later. So took him in to be seen by Kevin. He hardly checked him. My dog is a little Chihuahua, they tend to bite if they are uncomfortable. Duh this is your job you.... I will leave that unsaid. Well, he wants to say I think he may have developed epilepsy. Let's start him on phenobarbital. Poor dog had to take 2 times a day. Started it, dog was being weird, off balance, but from researching the drug that is what it does. Well a week goes by and still poor guy off balance, isn't pooping right so call them to find out how I can help my dog with this. Kevin wants to put him on my drugs. I don't want to, but I am not a vet and I am here trying to help my little guy. Well it helped with the poo but made him really bad to the point where he couldn't get up. So I call the Dr again, cause I am concerned this isn't normal. Kevin says, oh it's okay. No it's not... WTF. Mind you I call to have the doctor call me and of course he doesn't call back, I have to call and get a hold of him. Horrible I already paid you lots of money. Well, dog was still bad after 2 weeks I call again and we lowered the seizure medicine and it helped a little. Dog got used to the phenobarbital and I was thinking okay things are looking up. Well week goes by and almost time to take him in for blood work to see how is levels are with the med. But then again, having issues. So I decided to do my own research. The medicine for his poo was the one causing some issues. Tried calling vet again to ask some questions and of course no return calls. Then I bring him in cause he isn't eating or drinking water and just seem not to get better. Kevin doesn't really check him even in though I am paying him to check him, and takes him in the back and gives him meds and here you go, telling me he will be fine. This is BS. Gives me refills of the meds he is already on and ups the phenobarbital before the damn blood works comes back. Really? I take my guy home, continue giving him the meds and still not really that good. Ended up having to take him to the emergency again, in Antioch. The vet there took her time with him, we went over many things, she even called the neurologist I had an appt with on Aug. 28th. They went over some things and said it may be a brain tumor or lesion. And the emergency vet and I went over some things. She gave me some virtigo medicine, cause he was bad to the point where my dog was going in circles, he couldn't hold himself up, he was peeing on himself, not being normal, super sleepy and wouldn't eat or drink water. I took him home Tuesday and Wed the Antioch emergency called me and checked on him, which Kevin will never do. We had a long good talk and the quality of my little dogs life wasn't getting any better. So unfortunately I made the hardest decision of my life, and an unselfish one, was to let him go in peace and no longer suffer. So Dr. Kevin, if you read this, I would hope you would take your job more serious. These pets our like our children. You took this position to help people and their pets. I know you get busy, and may not have all the answers, but be honest with people. This is a life, a breathing animal who has feelings and can feel things. This is not a test subject. Spend time with people who are paying for your services, not make them feel rushed, or bothering you. Actually do your damn job or close shop. Your staff are very nice but I have to say you made me hate how you practice and I will do everything and anything to let people know to NEVER EVER GO TO YOUR PRACTICE. And I will never bring any of my animals to you ever again.I may have left some stuff out, but whoever is reading this, really don't take your animal here. Staff is great, but doctors don't give a shit. I spent so much money on shit that wasn't helping at all and Kevin didn't even try to really help. They should be sued! Read Less

After my dad had a decent first visit with this vet he sadly a month later had to decide to euthanize his cat. He had cancer in the leg plus an infection and was doing poorly. When I called Apollo, I asked how much it would cost to do a euthanasia and my dad were to take home the remains. They went and checked with the doctor and came back on the phone and told me since he was just in, it would only be $100. That was good with my dad so, he headed on in.When he arrived, he was told completely different. They wanted to place an IV catheter and an IV line in our cat- WHY?! My dad was confused we just needed to put him out of his misery but was caught of guard. They then proceeded to tell my dad he would not be allowed to be present for the procedure if he did not do the IV catheter and fluids. After it was all said and done, they brought Teddy out, in a shoe box with ice and charged my dad $178.... this place is a total rip off and the abuse you when you're at your lowest. Do not recommend EVER. No bed side manner and they lied over the phone about costs 30 minutes before his appointment.. *edit* I live in Washington so I sadly could not be here to help my dad but when I heard what they charged they sent me the bill as they refused to discuss with me over the phone and I was disgusted.

I will NEVER EVER take another animal here again. If you love your pets avoid this place at all costs. The staff was nice but that is about all I have nice to say about this place. The Dr visit fee was inexpensive, this n being open till midnight n supposedly not charging an after hrs/emergency fee is how they draw you in....but they get you on everything else and start tacking on things that you never agreed to nor need. My little dog was very sick and I was so worried that I didn't want to wait till the next morning for his vet to open so this is why we went here. Everything was about $250. Blood work $250, X-ray $250, fluids $245...next question...how much funds do you have? The Dr did not diagnose our dog, did not take his temp, did not check his heart rate, did not check his breathing, they didn't even weigh him, I did....while waiting! He said he was dehydrated n gave our dog some "fluids" and brought him out to us with a big lump on his back, fluid literally seeping out of it and said that this is normal and will go away over time.  If it is or isn't I don't know but it didn't look right to me. They Sent us home with antibiotics for a bacterial infection n cimetidine.  When I called 3 days later to tell them he wasn't getting better they never even asked for his name! They didn't offer for me to talk to or leave a msg for the Dr and then told me "you can force feed him with a syringe". We  took him to his regular vet and brought our receipt showing what they did and charged us for and basically I was charged for a bunch of bullshit. Anti diarrhea meds...never had diarrhea, multiple other meds with no explanation. Basically fluff to bring my cost up.  My lil dog literally almost died and is still fighting for his life. I don't know how someone can call them self a Dr and operate like this. Prescribed antibiotics n didn't know if he had an infection or what type of infection it was (bacterial or systemic) to prescribe the proper type. Very unethical, if this was a human being I would file a complaint with the medical board and if I can file a complaint with a veterinary/animal medical board I absolutely will. This is some back room abortion, 3rd world country type $h!+ that has a legit looking store front. They also have another hospital in Pittsburg called Animal Hospital of Pittsburg...same Dr..Dr Kevin aka Karan Dosanjh Lic # 17154. As of today...8 days later I have not heard a word fr them other than a buch of emails thanking me for my positive review (which I never gave) and asking that I give a review on YELP n Google. Well here you go. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT ANIMALS THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT YOUR "FUNDS". Read Less

I regret reading the reviews on here and not going to Apollo first for my dog. Dr. Gill and Dr. Kevin were amazing. Even though we couldn't save our baby, they genuinely wanted to try everything they can for him. My husband and I ended up taking our dog to Apollo because they were the only ones open later at night that wasn't an emergency clinic and they were able to get our baby happy and on his feet for one more night and we will forever cherish that night. I do not think that their prices are high, they are very reasonable and they were so much more accommodating than other vets I have come across. Totally love this place, the people and the service. I will be changing vets for my other dog. I know that he will be in good hands. I say at the very least, visit their facility before passing up because of the ratings. You will not regret it.

DONT TAKE YOUR PET HERE! they just want $$$This is the worst place of business I have encountered!!!! they need to have a no star rating. I should have listened to the yelp review before going but it was just so close to my home. My cat had not been eating and vomiting so I took him. First off the Dr. had very poor communication and gave me alot of I don't know responses. and jut threw the estimates on me. he gave me 2 options to do. one of which was x-ray and other was Iv fluids and a medication of course  i wanted to try the fluid and med 1st. which was no success. So i took him back for x-rays. and the first thing they do to me is throw the estimate at me with an additional cost that was not explained prior then they  tell me go pay now without the xrays even being done. SO I said can I wait till after. they then told me to leave and find a new vet cause i dont trust them. Obviously they dont care about animals. ALL THEY WANT IS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

DO NOT BRING YOU PET HERE! My dog ate a lot of  chocolate chip cookies so I rushed out of the house to bring him to the vet for immediate care. Upon entering the exam room, my dog was barking and wagging his tail in excitement as Dr. Gil ignored him. He immediately began to talk about treatment and left the room. Within minutes, he came back with an invoice, for an outstanding $353 and a muzzle (although he showed no signs of aggression). When I looked to grab my wallet, I noticed I had forgotten it at home due to the rush.  He refused to begin care for my dog until the invoice was paid in full.  He said to go back home (18 miles away) with my dog and get my wallet but I had to find a way to pay for this $29 office visit and if I didn't he would put me into collections. I reiterated that I did not have my wallet and he continued to criticize me for driving without my license. I mentioned that if I go back home I would still have to pick up my kids from practice and then he asked what was more important picking up my kids or my dogs life. WTH! He also mentioned that upon return I would need to pay an additional $29 since it qualifies as a second office visit. In the essence of time between the time my dog ate the chocolate and the 6 o'clock hour, I had asked a relative for a CC number so they could get started and they gladly charged the card. I still had to go back to get the relatives signature, their physical CC and DL during his treatment. Upon my return, he mentioned  further treatment to ensure all the chocolate was out but I refused to pay more and got out of there as soon as I could.I will never go back there again and I do not feel he is a veterinarian you can trust. He does not have your pets best interest in mind but more so his business. I have a terrible feeling that pet owners are being taken advantage of during emergent events with their pets at this establishment. Read Less

A friend had a horrible experience here. He took his dog who had been attacked by another dog here. The Vet quoted him $1,800 for surgery. That turned into $4,400 when he went to pick the dog up! He paid what he could and offered payments. The Vet refused and would not release the dog until the bill was paid in full, and charged $40 per day for boarding. A GoFundMe page helped but did not bring in the full amount still due. The owner offered to make payments but the Vet refused. Each day the bill increased with boarding. It took a phone call from a local community leader to get the dog out after 15 days, and now the dog has a tail injury from banging its tail on the cage. It truly appears that someone saw an opportunity to make money in this case. Very poor public relations. Read Less

This is the only vet my dog has seen since moving to CA. I was reluctant at first because the reviews were not the greatest. Mostly the negative reviews were centered around prices and the fact they were kinda high. And to that I will say I feel they are pricey, however I do feel like they have a genuine care for animals. The staff is very friendly. The center itself is not about frills, it can definitely use an uplift. It looks a little dreary and usually has a little smell. I will also add, their hours of operation is very convenient. I usually can always depend on them being available for an appt or for boarding. They have late pick up and drop off times and are reasonably priced for boarding. They don't walk the dogs though, they are in kennels the whole time. I was ok with that knowing I was leaving my dog at a hospital. Read Less

Found a nice looking older yellow lab on a Friday afternoon (the beginning of a 3 day weekend) about a mile from this veterinarian clinic near Pleasant Hill BART. It had no tags. Spent about 30 minutes checking the surrounding neighborhood for an owner. No luck. Called the shelter in Martinez who wouldn't be open until next Tuesday. The dog more or less walked me into this veterinarian's office. Upon entering I explained to the lady behind the counter "I found this dog..." and before I finished my sentence, a man in a lab coat behind her replied, "He can't stay here." Maybe it was a bad day for the vet, or maybe he just doesn't care about animals that don't come with $$$ as they walk through the door? I managed to convince the vet to check him for a chip. The vet checked, and checked again, no chip. I asked if I could keep the cheap nylon leash they had initially slipped over the dog (I had been walking him by bending over holding him by the collar until this point) and was told no. Thankfully, they had a leash in lost and found for me. With the leash in hand, I hoped that maybe he would be ready to walk home. Took him to the spot where I initially found him, and sure enough, the dog proceeded to walk me down a few streets until we arrived at a family playing outdoors. I asked if they knew/recognized the dog, and sure enough, it was their neighbors. I talked to the owners of the dog - the dog had gotten it's collar/tags off that morning and then gotten out a gate recently when the painters left it open. They were thrilled to have him back. I mentioned that she should have it chipped, and she indicated she did have it chipped... from Apollo Veterinary clinic right down the street. So it's in your court Apollo - were you incompetent when you installed the chip or when you went to scan for it? And for a future reference... when someone comes into your office with a lost dog, maybe the first thing out of your mouth shouldn't be "it can't stay here." Read Less

I agree with all of the negative reviews.  I do like Dr. Kevin quite a bit more than Dr. Gil, but mostly my complaint is that they get you in there with that really low office visit.  But, then you get charged hundreds of dollars for something very minor, so in the end, you pay way more.  I used to go there for several years until I got tired of the overcharging, without even asking me first what I would like to do.  But one time in particular sticks out in my memory where I felt completely overcharged.  My dog had been hiking and he had several cut up pads on his paws.  I brought him in, and I should have been charged only the office visit and told that vaseline would have healed them up in a few short days.  Instead, I had to pay to put him under, remove some of the pads with scissors, and put him on 2 medications, which I used for about 2 days then decided it was just way overkill, as all he really needed was some vaseline on his paws every night before going to bed, then they healed up quite fine on their own.  What should have been $30, was over $300.  I have been much happier since with another Walnut Creek vet where the office visit is higher, but I am given my options and allowed to choose what course of action I would like to take, and it's never excessive.

I arrived at the hospital seeking emergency treatment for my cat. The clinic gave me an appointment right away. They even waived my office visit fee if I accepted treatment. The prices were very reasonable (I researched other vet prices), and the quality of care my pet received was the best. The staff is very friendly. I will be transferring care for all of my pets to this Vet. :) Read Less

They are wonderful, the cost is so much better than most other places, and the 7 days and the hours they are open is so helpful.

We took our cat to have him checked for a condition he had where he was drooling a lot. On initial investigation we found that it looked like there might have been a tumor in his jaw. Due to this we setup various tests to test the fluids from the tumor. We were charged for the services prior to their execution.On our follow up visit it turned out that his jaw bone was growing and it was not a tumor. Given this information, one would think that it would affect the billing since the test plan had now changed. However, this was not something that was raised and somehow the bill ended up being exactly the same. That's funny how that works.To finish the story, our cat would be put down a few weeks later. We took him back to this location and I have to say they did a great job with the procedure. Though the procedure seemed overly costly, this wasn't going to be something we were going apply yet more stress to our cat about before his passing. The overall taste I had in my mouth after leaving the facility was that they are just trying to squeeze every dime they can out of you. Read Less

Let me start by saying I love this place. They take good care of my two dogs. The only reason the stars aren't higher is because one night going in to pick up my pets after their exam, I got robbed of my purse in the parking lot. Speaking to people in that area it seems to be a reoccurring theme for that unfortunate parking lot where people's cars are broken into and things are stolen. I will continue to see this clinic but I will never schedule an appointment in the dark hours again; daylight hours only.So if you have a fancy car or have anything worth taking in it, make sure it's highly protected and don't leave anything worth being broken into. This is so sad because I'm sure this can or has effected the business negatively because it's a regularly targeted lot. What's more unfortunate is that the Walnut Creek police don't do an at least regular survey of the lot in the dark hours knowing themselves it's been an average occurrence but really isn't doing much to catch the people at large breaking into others' belongings. But in a nutshell, I love this place. I am still going to be a returning for future treatments for my animals. Read Less

I see where people are coming from with some of the complaints. The place looks a little dumpy, especially from the outside. However the vets are so friendly and caring and high quality. I've been taking my two dogs here for a year and the vets are just so great with them. They always get treats and the vets seem to remember them very well. This is actually the first vet my dog is excited to go to! Anyway, great service and good prices. I come here for all my dogs needs! Read Less

My son took his dog to this doctor in an emergency situation. Most veterinarians are compassionate professionals who are fair and ethical businessmen as well. My son instead encountered the exact opposite. My son's dog was treated by the owner of this establishment, which should mean that he would encounter the best possible care. Instead, the "doctor" briefly examined the dog, and then when asked what the suggested treatment would cost, they were given only a unsubstantiated number that the "doctor" pulled out of his head. They then asked for the diagnosis and the financial breakdown in writing, which is something that is provided at all clinics and hospitals that I have ever encountered. The response was an aggressive, rude and unreasonable one, saying that the "doctor's" time was being wasted, they would not be provided with anything in writing and that they needed to decide immediately whether or not they wanted to move forward with treatment. This was not a life-threatening situation, and as the unsubstantiated treatment cost was over $400, it did not seem unreasonable to give a young pet owner an opportunity to consider costs and affordability. When my son did not give a prompt response, he was met with a "If you're not gonna do it now, then get the "f*#k out of here." My 4 year old grandson was in the room, and as with any parent, my son was quite angry at the language and behavior exhibited by a so-called professional in his presence. If this is the way this owner runs his business, I would definitely avoid trusting this business with the care of a loved, four-legged member of my family.Read Less

Stay away from this place!!! Long story short, took my dog in, got x-rays, surgery was recommended, I asked for copies of the X-rays and a written estimate. The dr told me to just take a picture with my phone. At that visit, I was quoted 3500-3800. I called back at the end of the next week for the estimate, and was told no estimate and it was 32-3600, again said I wanted it in writing. Called 2 days later and was told 36-4200. When I told him I wanted a written estimate, I was told to shove the written estimate up my ass(exact words). I went down there and demanded a copy of all my pets files/records, and was told they would mail them to me and would not give them to me right then. I have a 3 min video of the entire conversation, where the dr kept back-peddling about the price...I will never go here again and recommend no one else does either!!!Read Less

I am very sad to write this review but after a dozen chances I can't tolerate such shameful sloppiness anymore. The wait can be two or three hours for a routine shot appointment and even after they are finished it may take 45 minutes to an hour to get your cat brought out or a simple liquid medication filled. They overcharge horrendously on everything. Dr. Gill tried to charge us $95 to have my cats butt shaved by saying she had to be sedated or he couldn't do it. We have had this done for her many times previously by vet techs who had no problem at all keeping her under control. Just to put this into perspective Petsmart charges $12 to do this and I suspect they are overcharging at this scale for all their services. I recently stopped by to pick up cat food and was told both my cats were overdue for crucial vaccines. When I asked why I hadn't been called to make an appointment they simply had no explanation. The vet techs are very understaffed and overworked and it shows painfully. Read Less

This is the best vet I have ever gone to. Both doctors are very good with my dog and the staff are always professional. I have never been over charged or led to do an unnecessary procedure. The pricing is very fair & reasonable. The previous vet I went to would take walk in appointments ahead of my appointment & had me do a totally unneeded surgery on my dog just for the money. None of that happens here. I was so happy when I found Apollo Vet because I feel I can trust them in leading me to make the best decisions for my pet. I would & do recommend them to all my friends & Co workers. Thanks for running such a great business! Read Less
