San Marino Veterinary Clinic

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Watanabe. I brought my pet to see this doctor to seek help for my pet's painful symptoms. There were many red flags that I noticed at this office. I have never seen a veterinarian/ animal clinic accept cash as their only form of payment. Another extreme concern was how Dr. Watanabe was searching my cat's symptoms on google on his cellphone in front of me, and reading off the results. However, the most concerning part is that he misdiagnosed my cat. Dr. Watanabe urged me to come back to him to have my cat's teeth extracted- a full mouth extraction, and told me I could wait it out beforehand.

The doctor's here are AMAZING!!! Dr. Watanabe is like a real life Dr. Doolittle...he's incredible at reading his animal clients. Dr. Jeff his associate is also excellent!! My little adorable furry baby girl Butters, got sick on Friday morning before the Labor Day holiday. I was soooooo worried, that I wouldn't be able to get her help before the weekend.

A Vet Who Puts Policy Over a Dog’s Well-Being I am beyond disappointed with Dr. Wantanabe and their refusal to share my adopted dog’s veterinary records. As someone who rescued this dog and is committed to giving them the best possible care, I find it appalling that this clinic is more concerned with bureaucracy than the actual health of an animal. Veterinary records are not proprietary—they belong to the well-being of the dog. By withholding them, this clinic is actively making it harder for me to provide my pet with the proper medical attention they deserve. It’s heartbreaking to think that a place dedicated to animal care would choose to put up unnecessary roadblocks instead of helping ensure a rescue dog gets the continued care they need. Rescue pets already go through enough, and t

Dr Watanabe has saved the life of more than one of our dogs, and increased the quality of life of all 6 of the dogs we've brought to him over the 30 years we've been his clients. A truly gifted healer.
