Montecito Veterinary Center

Absolutely one of the best vets I've ever been to. I've owned a pet of one kind or another for the last 38 years and lived all over the U.S. Dr. Bove was, first and foremost, loving and appreciative of my 12 year-old dog. Her bedside manner is superb. She spent TIME with us. Second, she is extremely knowledgeable. My dog had multiple issues collide all at once, and Dr. Bove resolved them all with skill and attention to detail. Third, she knew the prices of things and worked to save us money. (lots of vets have no idea how much their medicines and recommendations cost!) Thank you Dr. Bove! I will tell everyone about you!

I had a great experience with both the vet and the vet tech! The vet tech was gentle with my two beloved fur babies, Charlie and Luna, and I really appreciated that she didn’t try to upsell or push anything unnecessary. However, I did find the front desk staff to be a bit unfriendly. As someone who works in customer service, I was surprised by how impersonal and cold their demeanor felt. At other vet offices I’ve been to, the front desk team is usually more upbeat and welcoming, but here they all seemed like they were having a rough day. It’s a shame, because the vet is incredibly knowledgeable and the vet tech is so positive and engaging.

Great office, Wonderfull nurses and the doctor was absolutely the best. He cared about my dog and really tried to figure out the problem. I truly appreciate his work.

They have been our family vet for years, and have consistently provided excellent care for our cats. They are very busy so don't expect a same day visit, but if you have a pressing matter, they will do their best to get you in as quickly as possible. They have gotten our cats through urgent surgery, wound care, kidney failure, you name it. They even helped our 16 year old cat transition peacefully to the other side when she was in pain. Throughout it all they have provided compassionate care, taken the time to ease any concerns, and given multiple treatment options when finances were tight. I highly recommend them.

Took my cat for the first time here and everyone was so friendly and the doctor was great. Made my cat feel safe.
