I had the sad duty to attend to my 92 year old mother's beloved cat after he passed away at 14 years of age. The folks at Muller were amazing. They were knowledgeable, compassionate and just down right nice. What was a sad duty was actually a wonderful experience. If I ever need a Vet, these folks are top of the list.

After bringing our new puppy home, we needed to find a vet for the first time. Following a comprehensive review of Yelp and talking to other pet parents, Muller landed on our short list. Upon making our very first call to ask about their practice, I knew we would go with them. After our first few appointments, I can honestly say, they are fantastic. Everyone, from the front desk staff to the vet, are super friendly and accommodating. And best of all, our little pup has great treatment (and a positive, stress-free experience), every time.

Muller Veterinary Hospital made a lifelong client out of out us from the very first time we contacted them. The staff is friendly, and helpful, and the doctors have a genuine interest the well being of your family (furry and non-furry alike). My puppy unexpectedly lost control of his back legs a few months ago, and after several unsuccessful attempts to treat him, and our former vet's suggestion to put him down, a Google search led us to Dr. Yamamoto. Dr Yamamoto's blend of homeopathic and conventional medicine were the precise prescription to get our pup back on his feet again. Dr. Yamamoto took her time diagnosing the situation before suggesting the best course of action. She was very honest, compassionate, and empathetic. We were treated like a family, not just a customer with a dog to be discarded because he needed a little more care than your run of the mill rescue. I'm so happy we found Muller Veterinary Hospital!

I came here to get advice for my dog's double iliopsoas sprain. (He's a very talented dog, to have sprained both at once.) Dr Troy recommended rest and laser twice a week for the first six weeks, then rehab exercises and laser twice a week for another six weeks. My dog healed more slowly than she expected so we added anther six weeks after that, but he finally has made a full recovery. (I believe that regular chiropractic appointments with Dr Wallace at Walnut Creek Vet Hospital also helped with that.)I couldn't tell whether the laser therapy actually helped my dog, but insurance was covering part of the cost and he competed in multiple dog sports so I want to do everything I can to keep him in tip top shape.The techs who did the laser appointments were always friendly to me and gentle with my dog. The first time we did laser, he was scared by the machine and the beeping. The tech put the machine down so that he could sniff it and approach it when he was ready. I gave him lots of treats and we worked through his hesitation. After that he was okay during future appointments. I was thankful that the tech had not just restrained my dog and forced him to endure a scary procedure, but instead let us take the time to help him over his fear.The receptionists quickly started to recognize both me and my dog. He can be reactive in the waiting room and on very busy days, they let us enter the exam room early, sometimes taking us behind the reception desk so that we didn't have to walk by other dogs. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and care, CRC! Read Less

Excellent care.I've brought two dogs here for care; one in the last three years of his life, and now a second as a puppy.  Overall, I've been extremely pleased.They are extremely attentive:  send you regular reminders by mail for routine check ups; when the animal has an appointment you are called with a reminder, and they then call several days later to check on how the pooch is doing.The vets are helpful and accommodating.  Sometimes at the end of the visit it does seem to require an inordinate amount of time for them to fill a resulting prescription, but probably I am inordinately impatient (particularly with my dog then yanking at her leash wanting to greet all the other animals and their humans).Most importantly I get the impression my pet is getting excellent care.  The facility is spotless, and there is ample adjacent parking and it is conveniently located off North Main Street.When it was time to have our last dog put down I was frustrated.  He could no longer walk and I needed to get him from the car to the examination room; he was in distress and so was I; they insisted on getting a gurney and it took a lengthy amount of time and he was in pain, I was extremely upset, and they weren't moving with alacrity.  Then we were both left waiting in the examination room for long period of time despite my appointment; he wanted his agony to be over and so did I.  He was whining and crying in distress and I ran out to find out WHEN the vet would finally appear and when she finally did she then asked me if I was ready and I pleaded to please move more promptly.  That experience lingered in my mind and made me nearly reluctant to return when we got the new puppy.The vets are good and warm; there is one who is clearly very clinically capable but who needs to go to charm school.  She tends to be ridiculously prescriptive (scolding me for allowing any branches in my backyard since the puppy might have adverse effects from chewing them:  come on!  She even suggested that I drape the shrubs).  I also got some conflicting advice from the vet from several breeders about when to fix her:  they seemed to be in a sweat to have her neutered as quickly as possible, even though there are varying and probably equally valid opinions on the topic.I've had four dogs that we've raised from 8 week old puppies.  Muller is as good as anywhere we've experienced in the East (Cornell grads), the Northwest (Washington State grads) or here (Davis grads).  And, they've referred us to Sage in Concord on other occasions where I've been equally pleased.

From the moment my wife and I drove up to the clinic, we had a great feeling. Not only was it easy to find but there was plenty of parking. The staff was smiling, friendly and knowledgeable. The reception area has plenty of room and there are little areas that are separated so you and your pet can have some privacy before getting called back. Dr. Erin Troy is a fantastic veterinarian and she took her time talking to us about our dog. She even gave us objective and honest information about vaccines and certain medications. Most importantly, our dog loved Dr. Troy as well. An excellent staff, skilled doctors and an abundance of different services (like Physical therapy and Chiropractic) makes this clinic unique.

In my 8 years of pet owning experience, this is my first and only bad experience with a vet. I'm done here. My yorkie had been nipped in the nose with scissors while at the groomers. I'm protective and especially cautious about my dog, so I picked her up as soon as I heard and rushed off to the vet. I knew they were closing soon but was hoping they could at least tell me if the injury was serious and if I should go see to the ER. The groomer and the vet are 6-8 minutes away from each other (says google maps). So I'm on my way at 5:53pm (they close at 6) and calling at the same time - I speak to two receptions and the Doctor. I explain the situation and I understand they probably can't accommodate a formal appointment. I explain that I am only looking for a quick look to determine if this is a serious injury - if I should be going to the ER (didn't look severe to me but again, I'm cautious). They are in the process of leaving and apparently can't help even though I'll arrive about 6 on the dot. Of course, they suggest I make an appointment for the following day. I explain to them in no uncertain terms that I won't and instead I'll be finding another vet. Doctor doesn't seem to care, so I hang up and less than 10 seconds later I am passing the clinic, aghast that they couldn't spare the 5 minutes. Had been a client for about a year, not anymore (3/29) Read Less

Dr. Ruth Adams nearly killed my dog. After bringing my dog in for consuming chocolate I was quoted a fee of $500 dollars to treat my doggy. She hadn't even conducted a preliminiary examination, at this point. I decided to get a second opinion, and thankfully I did because I was told my dog didn't actually consume enough of chocolate to warrant the expensive treatment she had laid out. She also made what I felt were disparaging comments against black people right in front of me (maybe she thought because I am white that I wouldn't mind that sort of thing, but I did/do).

I first came here in October of 2014 when my 3 year-old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever mix was having problems running around.  She would lift her rear leg up after running around or let out a cry after playing.  I had her hips examined and there was no sign of dysplasia.  One vet wanted to perform prolotherapy and I wasn't comfortable with having my dog sedated and then having multiple injections in various tissues.  So I turned to the Canine Rehab Center after reading such positive Yelp! reviews, and I was not disappointed.  I found Dr. Erin Troy to be remarkable compassionate and skilled.  She suggested that my dog's problems were related to injuries in the quadriceps and psoas muscles.  After two months of cold laser therapy and cranio-sacral (which I did instead of chiropractic which I could have done just as well), my conundrum is now to figure out how to get my duck toller to run at God speed and without restraint.  It is a great problem to have.  I highly recommend Dr. Troy, Muller Veterinary Hospital, and the Canine Rehab Center!

I don't know what has taken me so long to write a review for the CRC. They are absolutely wonderful, warm, caring, personable, and made us feel so welcome. My 6 year old labrador had a TPLO surgery and the moment she could start rehab I was willing to take the hour long drive twice a week to make sure she was on track. She was a unique case because she did not rupture her cruciate, but instead had to have the TPLO due to a patella issue. Nietzsche would get so excited for her appointment that I actually was a little embarrassed by her behavior at times. From the moment we got off the freeway she would cry with excitement and try to bound into the water treadmill once it was our turn. The facility is clean and well kept. The staff is STELLAR and I cant say enough thanks to Dr. Troy, Jenna, and Joni. The have great communication skills and hold great conversation while your pet is undergoing their treatment. I highly recommend the CRC to anyone especially clients I work with on a daily basis. I am proud to say that even after all this time I think the CRC helped Nietzsche get back to work (she is my service dog) as soon as possible and even competes in dock diving now! Read Less

So, quick recap before the review.  I get a rescue French Bulldog named Dexter.  99% of the time, he is the most mellow dog ever.The remaining 1% of the time, he is hard wired to be stubborn to the point of getting into trouble.  First time he did this under my watch, he ended up dislocating his hip.  Had the surgery done at Berkeley Dog & Cat, but needed a place that specialized in post-surgery rehab and physical therapy. CRC has it all.  From the outside, you wouldn't think it housed such cool equipment (and even better staff).  Dex had his initial consultation, and they didn't try to push all treatments on him.  He has been going to hydrotherapy for the past month, and it helped immensely.For me, the fact they have Saturday appointments is huge.  Coming from Alameda and being able to get to Walnut Creek with minimal tunnel issues is fantastic.They really do have a great staff, and set up each dog's treatment schedule after a thorough initial consult.  The hydrotherapy costs less than $50, which doesn't seem like a lot after I saw how the tank works.  It's not something you can just do in your own bathtub ;pSo, if you have a dog that is having issues that require some physical therapy, I think you would do well to see what CRC can do for your dog.

This is an extraordinary center staffed by one of the most amazing groups of people I've ever encountered.My dog Whiskey had started limping, and despite seeing 4 different vets, I was unable to get a definitive diagnosis in terms of the root cause. The condition continued to get worse, and even with significant pain medication, my pup was unable to easily walk, stand, climb stairs, or enjoy his quality of life. I spoke to Joni at the Canine Rehabilitation Center, and although she was extremely helpful and thoughtful, told me that they would not see my dog without a referral from his primary vet.I asked Berkeley Dog & Cat to make a referral, which they agreed to do. I spoke to Joni again, who was once again very helpful, but told me that without a definitive diagnosis, they would not take my dog.I had run out of options. His quality of life was getting steadily worse and the vets couldn't pinpoint the cause. Then, an amazing thing happened. Joni called me back and said that after reviewing Whiskey's charts that they would accept him on a conditional basis and see if they might be able to help.Whiskey came into the center and met Briana, who was about as kind, pleasant, and gentle with my injured pup as I could ever ask a vet tech to be. Dr. Troy was amazing, and gave him a thorough exam, immediately identifying some of the sources of his discomfort.Whiskey then did one course of hydrotherapy, and a laser treatment. He got home, immediately went to sleep, and when he woke up, was almost 75% better.Joni at the Canine Rehabilitation Center still wasn't happy with the lack of a definitive diagnosis, and pushed me to take Whiskey to see a neurologist and an orthopedic surgeon, and to have an MRI taken. Since he seemed to be improving, and I didn't want to subject him to another round of poking and prodding with recommendations of surgical experiments, I resisted.But over the holidays, after spending time with my dog walker, he was definitely worse again, and I agreed to take him to see a neurologist at VSA (another AMAZING facility).The neurologist (Dr. Vitale) was excellent didn't find much, but suggested one of their orthopedic surgeons (Dr. Sellmeyer) take a quick look at him.Half an hour later I had a definitive diagnosis - torn cruciate ligament. I confirmed the diagnosis with both Berkeley Dog & Cat and the Canine Rehabilitation Center. Joni made a recommendation in terms of a surgeon, and Whiskey had a TPLO surgery a few days later.It's only a few days post-surgery, and Whiskey is already hugely improved, putting weight on a leg he's barely used for months. Within a few months he'll be back up to his pre-condition level of activity, and on the road back to health, happiness and quality of life.I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the whole team at the Canine Rehabilitation Center, and to Joni, Briana and Dr. Troy specifically. I would recommend them without reservation. As soon as Whiskey is able, he'll be headed back there for rehabilitation therapy. If you have a post-surgical dog, or a dog with arthritis, dysplasia, degenerative joint disease, or other type of joint injury, you owe it to your pup and to yourself to see the incredible team at the Canine Rehabiliation Center.

My 10 year old husky, Luli, had a stroke on June 13, 2008, just a month before we moved up to the bay area.  I knew she still had a lot of life in her (huskies live to 16) and I located an acupuncturist and a hydro-therapist in the area before moving up.Luli's hind quarter were paralyzed.  The hydrotherapy kept her moving while she healed and was also part of the healing.  After three months of acupuncture, hydrotherapy 2x a week and herbs, she started to walk.  She can run and walks everyday and is even doing stairs.  The folks at CRC are great.  Joanie runs a tight ship and Luli got the combination of love, encouragement and plain old hard work to recover.  And she did.  She's my miracle girl, thanks to the Canine Rehab Center.

Muller Veterinary Hospital made a lifelong client out of out us from the very first time we contacted them. The staff is friendly, and helpful, and the doctors have a genuine interest the well being of your family (furry and non-furry alike). My puppy unexpectedly lost control of his back legs a few months ago, and after several unsuccessful attempts to treat him, and our former vet's suggestion to put him down, a Google search led us to Dr. Yamamoto. Dr Yamamoto's blend of homeopathic and conventional medicine were the precise prescription to get our pup back on his feet again. Dr. Yamamoto took her time diagnosing the situation before suggesting the best course of action. She was very honest, compassionate, and empathetic. We were treated like a family, not just a customer with a dog to be discarded because he needed a little more care than your run of the mill rescue. I'm so happy we found Muller Veterinary Hospital!

I came here to get advice for my dog's double iliopsoas sprain. (He's a very talented dog, to have sprained both at once.) Dr Troy recommended rest and laser twice a week for the first six weeks, then rehab exercises and laser twice a week for another six weeks. My dog healed more slowly than she expected so we added anther six weeks after that, but he finally has made a full recovery. (I believe that regular chiropractic appointments with Dr Wallace at Walnut Creek Vet Hospital also helped with that.)I couldn't tell whether the laser therapy actually helped my dog, but insurance was covering part of the cost and he competed in multiple dog sports so I want to do everything I can to keep him in tip top shape.The techs who did the laser appointments were always friendly to me and gentle with my dog. The first time we did laser, he was scared by the machine and the beeping. The tech put the machine down so that he could sniff it and approach it when he was ready. I gave him lots of treats and we worked through his hesitation. After that he was okay during future appointments. I was thankful that the tech had not just restrained my dog and forced him to endure a scary procedure, but instead let us take the time to help him over his fear.The receptionists quickly started to recognize both me and my dog. He can be reactive in the waiting room and on very busy days, they let us enter the exam room early, sometimes taking us behind the reception desk so that we didn't have to walk by other dogs. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and care, CRC! Read Less

Excellent care.I've brought two dogs here for care; one in the last three years of his life, and now a second as a puppy.  Overall, I've been extremely pleased.They are extremely attentive:  send you regular reminders by mail for routine check ups; when the animal has an appointment you are called with a reminder, and they then call several days later to check on how the pooch is doing.The vets are helpful and accommodating.  Sometimes at the end of the visit it does seem to require an inordinate amount of time for them to fill a resulting prescription, but probably I am inordinately impatient (particularly with my dog then yanking at her leash wanting to greet all the other animals and their humans).Most importantly I get the impression my pet is getting excellent care.  The facility is spotless, and there is ample adjacent parking and it is conveniently located off North Main Street.When it was time to have our last dog put down I was frustrated.  He could no longer walk and I needed to get him from the car to the examination room; he was in distress and so was I; they insisted on getting a gurney and it took a lengthy amount of time and he was in pain, I was extremely upset, and they weren't moving with alacrity.  Then we were both left waiting in the examination room for long period of time despite my appointment; he wanted his agony to be over and so did I.  He was whining and crying in distress and I ran out to find out WHEN the vet would finally appear and when she finally did she then asked me if I was ready and I pleaded to please move more promptly.  That experience lingered in my mind and made me nearly reluctant to return when we got the new puppy.The vets are good and warm; there is one who is clearly very clinically capable but who needs to go to charm school.  She tends to be ridiculously prescriptive (scolding me for allowing any branches in my backyard since the puppy might have adverse effects from chewing them:  come on!  She even suggested that I drape the shrubs).  I also got some conflicting advice from the vet from several breeders about when to fix her:  they seemed to be in a sweat to have her neutered as quickly as possible, even though there are varying and probably equally valid opinions on the topic.I've had four dogs that we've raised from 8 week old puppies.  Muller is as good as anywhere we've experienced in the East (Cornell grads), the Northwest (Washington State grads) or here (Davis grads).  And, they've referred us to Sage in Concord on other occasions where I've been equally pleased.

In my 8 years of pet owning experience, this is my first and only bad experience with a vet. I'm done here. My yorkie had been nipped in the nose with scissors while at the groomers. I'm protective and especially cautious about my dog, so I picked her up as soon as I heard and rushed off to the vet. I knew they were closing soon but was hoping they could at least tell me if the injury was serious and if I should go see to the ER. The groomer and the vet are 6-8 minutes away from each other (says google maps). So I'm on my way at 5:53pm (they close at 6) and calling at the same time - I speak to two receptions and the Doctor. I explain the situation and I understand they probably can't accommodate a formal appointment. I explain that I am only looking for a quick look to determine if this is a serious injury - if I should be going to the ER (didn't look severe to me but again, I'm cautious). They are in the process of leaving and apparently can't help even though I'll arrive about 6 on the dot. Of course, they suggest I make an appointment for the following day. I explain to them in no uncertain terms that I won't and instead I'll be finding another vet. Doctor doesn't seem to care, so I hang up and less than 10 seconds later I am passing the clinic, aghast that they couldn't spare the 5 minutes.

I first came here in October of 2014 when my 3 year-old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever mix was having problems running around.  She would lift her rear leg up after running around or let out a cry after playing.  I had her hips examined and there was no sign of dysplasia.  One vet wanted to perform prolotherapy and I wasn't comfortable with having my dog sedated and then having multiple injections in various tissues.  So I turned to the Canine Rehab Center after reading such positive Yelp! reviews, and I was not disappointed.  I found Dr. Erin Troy to be remarkable compassionate and skilled.  She suggested that my dog's problems were related to injuries in the quadriceps and psoas muscles.  After two months of cold laser therapy and cranio-sacral (which I did instead of chiropractic which I could have done just as well), my conundrum is now to figure out how to get my duck toller to run at God speed and without restraint.  It is a great problem to have.  I highly recommend Dr. Troy, Muller Veterinary Hospital, and the Canine Rehab Center!

I don't know what has taken me so long to write a review for the CRC. They are absolutely wonderful, warm, caring, personable, and made us feel so welcome. My 6 year old labrador had a TPLO surgery and the moment she could start rehab I was willing to take the hour long drive twice a week to make sure she was on track. She was a unique case because she did not rupture her cruciate, but instead had to have the TPLO due to a patella issue. Nietzsche would get so excited for her appointment that I actually was a little embarrassed by her behavior at times. From the moment we got off the freeway she would cry with excitement and try to bound into the water treadmill once it was our turn. The facility is clean and well kept. The staff is STELLAR and I cant say enough thanks to Dr. Troy, Jenna, and Joni. The have great communication skills and hold great conversation while your pet is undergoing their treatment. I highly recommend the CRC to anyone especially clients I work with on a daily basis. I am proud to say that even after all this time I think the CRC helped Nietzsche get back to work (she is my service dog) as soon as possible and even competes in dock diving now! Read Less

So, quick recap before the review.  I get a rescue French Bulldog named Dexter.  99% of the time, he is the most mellow dog ever.The remaining 1% of the time, he is hard wired to be stubborn to the point of getting into trouble.  First time he did this under my watch, he ended up dislocating his hip.  Had the surgery done at Berkeley Dog & Cat, but needed a place that specialized in post-surgery rehab and physical therapy. CRC has it all.  From the outside, you wouldn't think it housed such cool equipment (and even better staff).  Dex had his initial consultation, and they didn't try to push all treatments on him.  He has been going to hydrotherapy for the past month, and it helped immensely.For me, the fact they have Saturday appointments is huge.  Coming from Alameda and being able to get to Walnut Creek with minimal tunnel issues is fantastic.They really do have a great staff, and set up each dog's treatment schedule after a thorough initial consult.  The hydrotherapy costs less than $50, which doesn't seem like a lot after I saw how the tank works.  It's not something you can just do in your own bathtub ;pSo, if you have a dog that is having issues that require some physical therapy, I think you would do well to see what CRC can do for your dog.

This is an extraordinary center staffed by one of the most amazing groups of people I've ever encountered.My dog Whiskey had started limping, and despite seeing 4 different vets, I was unable to get a definitive diagnosis in terms of the root cause. The condition continued to get worse, and even with significant pain medication, my pup was unable to easily walk, stand, climb stairs, or enjoy his quality of life. I spoke to Joni at the Canine Rehabilitation Center, and although she was extremely helpful and thoughtful, told me that they would not see my dog without a referral from his primary vet.I asked Berkeley Dog & Cat to make a referral, which they agreed to do. I spoke to Joni again, who was once again very helpful, but told me that without a definitive diagnosis, they would not take my dog.I had run out of options. His quality of life was getting steadily worse and the vets couldn't pinpoint the cause. Then, an amazing thing happened. Joni called me back and said that after reviewing Whiskey's charts that they would accept him on a conditional basis and see if they might be able to help.Whiskey came into the center and met Briana, who was about as kind, pleasant, and gentle with my injured pup as I could ever ask a vet tech to be. Dr. Troy was amazing, and gave him a thorough exam, immediately identifying some of the sources of his discomfort.Whiskey then did one course of hydrotherapy, and a laser treatment. He got home, immediately went to sleep, and when he woke up, was almost 75% better.Joni at the Canine Rehabilitation Center still wasn't happy with the lack of a definitive diagnosis, and pushed me to take Whiskey to see a neurologist and an orthopedic surgeon, and to have an MRI taken. Since he seemed to be improving, and I didn't want to subject him to another round of poking and prodding with recommendations of surgical experiments, I resisted.But over the holidays, after spending time with my dog walker, he was definitely worse again, and I agreed to take him to see a neurologist at VSA (another AMAZING facility).The neurologist (Dr. Vitale) was excellent didn't find much, but suggested one of their orthopedic surgeons (Dr. Sellmeyer) take a quick look at him.Half an hour later I had a definitive diagnosis - torn cruciate ligament. I confirmed the diagnosis with both Berkeley Dog & Cat and the Canine Rehabilitation Center. Joni made a recommendation in terms of a surgeon, and Whiskey had a TPLO surgery a few days later.It's only a few days post-surgery, and Whiskey is already hugely improved, putting weight on a leg he's barely used for months. Within a few months he'll be back up to his pre-condition level of activity, and on the road back to health, happiness and quality of life.I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the whole team at the Canine Rehabilitation Center, and to Joni, Briana and Dr. Troy specifically. I would recommend them without reservation. As soon as Whiskey is able, he'll be headed back there for rehabilitation therapy. If you have a post-surgical dog, or a dog with arthritis, dysplasia, degenerative joint disease, or other type of joint injury, you owe it to your pup and to yourself to see the incredible team at the Canine Rehabiliation Center.

My 10 year old husky, Luli, had a stroke on June 13, 2008, just a month before we moved up to the bay area.  I knew she still had a lot of life in her (huskies live to 16) and I located an acupuncturist and a hydro-therapist in the area before moving up.Luli's hind quarter were paralyzed.  The hydrotherapy kept her moving while she healed and was also part of the healing.  After three months of acupuncture, hydrotherapy 2x a week and herbs, she started to walk.  She can run and walks everyday and is even doing stairs.  The folks at CRC are great.  Joanie runs a tight ship and Luli got the combination of love, encouragement and plain old hard work to recover.  And she did.  She's my miracle girl, thanks to the Canine Rehab Center.
