Overall, we had a good experience here. Manny at the front desk was especially helpful, kind and knowledgeable.The doctor was also great--she was patient, gave clear explanations, and answered all our questions. The only downsides were the very long wait and the fact that our cat was in the back exam room away from us for the whole time. We took our cat in at about 10:30 PM for bladder issues. It appeared there was only one person ahead of us, but we waited for over an hour. I know that long waits are to be expected at the vet, but I was worried about my cat being stressed out in the back for so long. If possible, if the cat isn't being examined during the wait, maybe they can be in the room with the family to reduce everyone's stress (or at least more frequent updates would be helpful). Other than this, I was satisfied and felt the hospital was clean, the coffee and snacks were a nice touch, and the personnel were great. Thank you.

Great staff!!!!!!! The vet tec that greeted us when we first came in and helped throughout the process. She was great. Your staff is amazing every single person who I spoke to. I hope that my little guy never needs another surgery, but if something happens to him, this is the ONLY place I would go. We actually drove all the way from Palm Springs.

They took very good care of my Yorkie OZZY. I would definitely go back again. The care that OZZY received

Rudy had a torn meniscus and surgery was the only option! The entire experience was excellent! The Doctor, staff and especially, Nurse Molly were exceptional! Rudy recovered very well with the guidelines we were given to help her by these professionals! We completely recommend and thank these remarkable team.

The staff is not only skilled at surgery, they are very kind and caring. I have been so impressed with everyone we've interacted with, from receptionist, after hours nurses, vet techs and surgeons. We feel so good about our experience and the care our furry family member has been receiving. The first vet tech we dealt with (Michael I think) was so caring, knowledgeable and great. He made us instantly feel like we were in the right place! Dr. Craig - so great at explaining everything with care and compassion, and doing an incredible job with correcting a messy TPLO Dr. Sebetsyn - very kind, thorough and caring! Overall, the expertise of staff, the caring for both owner and pet and that everyone actual listens to the concerns we had are all things we truly appreciated!

I feel they have a lot of experience with the type of surgery my dog had TPLO. Dr spent a good amount of time explaining surgery and outcomes. Staff was extremely supportive and helpful. VSS’s knowledge and experience with this type of surgery is why we decided to choose them. Their care and concern for our pet was comforting and reassuring.

I knew the minute I called in and I knew the minute I walked in. The Doctor was clearly caring. My cat was sick when I brought her in and well the next morning! The staff was amazing too! Loving, friendly, caring people with the health of animals being their priority over anything else!

True compassion and superior care can be felt from the entire team at Veterinary Surgical Specialists. Dr.Sebestyen saved our pup’s life and turned back his clock a bit too. He called us on his day off, reassured us when we were worried and took great care of Jackson both pre and postoperatively. He is at the top of an impressive team and we are very appreciative! Veterinary Surgical Specialists is a center that I would highly recommend - our 10 year old boxer is back to his energetic and playful self!

Dr walker, his nurses and all the staff have been so easy to work with. Overnight nurse communication was on point! Very pleased with the entire process.

The staff is always so helpful. The whole staff they are all very amazing individually. How well they take care of my pet and explain everything question we have with details.

They handled the situation perfectly and we trusted the staff and surgeon. They took into account how hurt our pet was and accommodated an earlier surgery in an already full schedule. Their prices were fair and supported by the care we received. All the most important things that someone hopes for while dealing with an emotional situation where they are trying to make the best decisions for their pet.
