VCA Central Park Animal Hospital

Overall we have had good experiences at VCA but nothing makes you more grateful for a compassionate vet than when it's time to say goodbye. VCA Central Park found that our sweet girl had a mass on her spleen and they gave us all of our options on moving forward. A few months later it was clear her time had come and the kindness they showed us really stuck with me. They allowed our little family and other dog to be there and never rushed us during any step of the process. We did choose to have her cremated and when we got her ashes back they were in a beautiful box engraved with her name which just felt like she was well cared for. We are so grateful for their staff and their kindness. All of our routine care and illness appointments have been great but during our most emotional visit they

I have had two experiences with this Animal Hospital, once before it changed ownership to VCA. In 2019, we lost a young cat due to seizures from unknown causes. We initially brought this cat to what is now VCA Central park. At the time it was another privately owned vet. This cat was ultimately brought to VCA Alameda East for additional testing and hopefully diagnosis. We spent over $4,000 on diagnostic testing that ultimately heeded no answers. While this was unfortunate, it was not the fault of VCA. During the cat's stay at VCA Alameda East, he was not administered a basic IV fluid flush to treat a potential toxin ingestion and I believe that this simple measure could have saved his life and our family thousands of dollars. We will never have answers, but I still believe that diagnosti

I drive all the way across town to see these vets because of how well they handle my anxious dog. It’s always stressful for her, but the staff are so kind and patient with my fearful girl- giving her space and going slow if they can, even when it’s clear they’re busy. The vets and techs have all been slow and gentle with her, so much so that she started to doze off at Dr Hafer’s feet one day while we talked! She panics in any public space and this has been *the only time* she has ever been so relaxed in public, especially at the vet. We had never met Dr. Hafer until that appointment, so this speaks volumes to the vet’s demeanor and approach I think. Dr. Hafer was so patient and informative, really taking the time to explain Amaya’s issues in detail and answer all my questions. The other v

I came here with a clients dog and everyone SO accommodating. They got us in very quickly, everyone was so kind, and they took very good care of Ruby which is always the most important part. :)

Long time client of this VCA for my dogs and cats, never really made time to write a review. I recently had to say goodbye to my dog and am so appreciative of the care, empathy, and patience as I said my final goodbyes. They do a fantastic job and I’ll continue to use them for my other pets and future ones.
