★★★☆☆ 3.0 Karen Ruhleder · Feb 2026

A friend recommended me to a specific vet at AHS, Dr. Elizabeth Barton, who has since left AHS to open her own practice. I stayed with them for a while, but there was a lot of turnover in their veterinary staff, and now they don't even list their veterinarians on their website (I believe Dr. Craig Evans still owns the practice, but I don't know who else is there). I was overall happy with the veterinary care, but the staff are unprofessional. I have my cat's medication compounded at Lauden Pharmacy in Capitola. On two occasions, Lauden left multiple messages for them that they didn't return. The first time, it was because Lauden was calling about a refill. I asked why they didn't return their call and they said they no longer do refills over the phone. It turns out that this policy change

Our vet tech was so caring and described all of the options perfectly. I like that this veterinary practices open longer hours and has Saturday appointments. They also have quite a bit of testing equipment on site so many of the testing procedures can be done in office. They have a wide variety of specialist if they team up with as well.

Dr. Evans has been my vet since the late 1990's and I cannot recommend him enough. His down to earth, thoughtful approach to animal care is frankly unparalleled in our community. Animal Hospital of Soquel is always friendly, clean and helpful. Five stars across the board.

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Manzo · Dec 2025

We switched to Animal Hospital of Soquel from a different local vet clinic. The reason we switched was that our prior vet clinic invested in some major office upgrades. No doubt the new facility was beautiful and had all of the latest veterinarian equipment. But I noticed that after those upgrades, each visit felt as if I were being engaged by salespeople versus animal medical personnel and the bill for routine checkups and shots for two dogs was... exciting. My son and I brought our 12-year-old lab to Animal Hospital of Soquel for a routine checkup. The staff was friendly and helpful, the veterinarian was compassionate and qualified, and the price was fair. The vet even advised us against vaccinations that we thought were needed, but are not for a dog of her age. Might seem insignificant,

We had a pleasure of meeting Dr. Martinez For the first time today. what a caring, compassionate And coupled with outstanding clinical expertise.. Granted, our dog was in for what could’ve been a simple ear infection but turned out to be a grooming issue. Many thanks to Dr. Martinez and.Alandra At the front desk for taking such good care of our older pooch. We look forward to having her as our permanent vet moving forward.
