North County Animal Hospital

The Good: our cat is doing much better, thank you. And the bill was several hundred dollars less than our previous vet would have charged. The Bad: despite promises to call “in an hour or two”, after 6 hours we called & were told that the vet had diagnosed our cat with stomatitis & had pulled almost all of her teeth. And that we owed them $900. The Ugly: as instructed, we arrived promptly at 5pm and called them from the parking lot. An hour later, all of the other customers had left & I saw the staff starting to drive off. I beat on the front door & found out that they had totally forgotten us. They also forgot to give our cat the 72 hour pain relief injection that they had promised. And we were completely unable to effectively administer the oral pain killers that they had provided (try putting meds in a cat’s cheek after major dental work). Our cat was in severe pain for 36 hours until Dr. Bell got around to calling us back & provided meds we could put in her food. It has been a real challenge to convey this story without using profanity. AVOID.

Very professional and easy to work with vet.

I have been taking my pet to Dr. Bell for almost 4 years. He is terrific and the friends I recommend him to are always happy.

Dr. Bell is the consumate professional. He took the time to thoroughly listen to my explanation of signs and symptoms that Dilly was showing. He then performed a thorough exam and treated the problem promptly and efficiently. Wonderful and quot;bedsideand quot; manner. After leaving our previous vet for being made to feel like we were horrible pet owners, this was a pleasant and refreshing change of pace. Price is fair for the services received.

The Doctor's name is Doctor Bill. I think that he can do no wrong. He really cares. When a cat does not eat their liver shuts down then they die. I bought some herbs to help her liver because she did not eat. She was not feeling good. She was fine when I gave that to her and I was shocked. Doctor's do not do good with herbs. I am really impressed with the care that we got. He lets us come in and visit him everyday. I thought he was really compassionate and really thorough. Everyone their is really great. They call for a follow up to see how you are doing. I do not have any problems with them.
