"Great service and super friendly. Since I got my dog Chaser in 2006. I
have been going here. My dog broke here leg as a puppy and I had to take
her to the emergency pet hospital but the after care at the Adam Pet
Clinic had been awesome. I have been a loyal customer bringing my puppy
here for her shots and check ups. The vet is super nice too. Still
remembers her when she was a pup with the cast on her leg. That really
gives it a good feeling to walk in and be greeted by name.
Definitely
recommend this place to all my friends with their pets for vet needs." -Michelle S.(Yelp)
"I have been taking our cat, Nino, to Adam Pet Clinic for roughly 7 years
now and have no complaints whatsoever. Dr. Atwal has always been very
kind and caring, and is always gentle with Nino. He's always telling him
that he's a good boy in a very soothing voice (something I have fun
mimicking at home) which helps keep him calm and still and as a result,
he stays relaxed. Well, as relaxed as a cat at the vet can be.
In
all the years that I have been a client of Adam Pet Clinic I have spent
several thousand dollars taking care of my cat but have never felt like
I had to question the need for any testing or procedures done. I see
that many people have complained about the prices and some think the
doctor is wanting to run tests just to get the cash. I have never gotten
that impression. I have asked why a particular test was needed and was
satisfied with the answer given. If I ever felt like I was being made to
go along with any testing/procedures just so the clinic could have an
"employee pizza night" on me, I wouldn't hesitate to tell them I
wouldn't allow them to do it. If that happened, I would take my pet,
smile and thank them for everything, then turn and walk out the door.
There are lots of vets out there and I wouldn't put up with being ripped
off.
As Michelle M. pointed out, any time you go to the hospital
or doctor for a mysterious illness they run a battery of tests and no
one says a thing. Afterall, they're the doctors and they certainly know
what they're doing, right? Why is it so different when it's your pet? Do
they not deserve the same quality of care as we do? I know it's costly.
Trust me, I do, but Dr. Atwal knows what he's doing and he's good at
his job. If your dog or cat is just that, a dog or cat to you, then this
is probably not the place you want to go. If, however, your dog or cat
is a true member of your family, then I highly recommend Adam Pet
Clinic." -Vicky P.(Yelp)
"Frankly, I don't see how anyone could review this clinic badly. I have
two dogs I take there regularly. One was very timid with men and I told
Dr. Atwal. He spent 10 minutes playing with her, to get her to feel
comfortable and it helped immensely. I couldn't believe this busy man
took the time to do this.
He genuinely cares about the animals he
treats, is friendly and professional and takes the time to answer all
questions.
Amanda, who works the front desk, is very friendly
and caring also. I have been going here for years and I highly recommend
this clinic. Pet care is not cheap but I feel I get my money's worth
here, and they take the time to review my dogs' records when we arrive
and ask questions that lead me to believe they really do care." -Sally C.(Yelp)
"I very much appreciate the whole staff at Adam Pet Clinic. Extremely
helpful and informative, they are true animal lovers. I have a bull
terrier, and they love her so much there. I feel good about bringing my
dog here.
Other plusses...great hours, excellent parking, and
clean environment. I've been to some janky vet offices in the past, and
Adam Pet Clinic is A+." -Amy O.(Yelp)
"The vet here is very nice and friendly. He was very gentle with my dog
and was very informative on my dogs conditions. The techs at the office
were also very pleasant, nice, and understanding when explaining the
different procedures. I haven't taken my dog to see that many vets but
this place was very nice. The visit cost $50." -Susan L.(Yelp)
"I have been going here since the first days they opened 16 or so years
ago. Dr. Atwal IS the best. He is caring, and honest with "the parent".
The staff is equally compassionate Just today my cat Junior, that he
has been taking care of for 16+ years through his illnesses, on going
medical problems died. They did everything they could without wasting
my money on unnecessary tests etc...They made him as comfortable as
possible and I took him home to die in peace, at home. Dr Atwal even
gave me his person cell number in case I needed him to make a house call
if needed. I will continue taking my other cats to Adam Pet
Clinic!!!!!" -Jim E. (Yelp) "I was unsure how many stars to give, but I would give 5 on the doctor
alone. Dr. Atwal is very thorough, understanding, and really cares
about your animal. He runs extra tests (a common complaint I see by
other posts because it costs more money) to rule out all other possible
issues. Don't they do the same for people in the hospital? They don't
just do the basics to go cheap. No, they go all the way. My cat has
periodontal disease and Dr. Atwal has gone out of his way to explain the
details of it with diagrams and why it is necessary for a dental
cleaning once per year. Other vets (and I have tried many before
discovering Dr. Atwal ) have just told me it's unnecessary for him to
get his teeth cleaned- it's only optional. Besides being in the dental
field for 7 years myself, any idiot can see that my cat clearly has
moderate-severe gum problems. It's hereditary- he has had it since he
was a kitten and I have had to maintain that with yearly cleanings. Dr.
Atwal is a genuine person and if your animal means everything to you,
and you are willing to go to great lengths to make sure his/her health
is under complete control, then this is the doctor for you. The only
reason I gave it 4 stars is because the staff can improve (a little
unprofessional and they goof off sometimes at the front desk) and I
agree that you do pay a lot- a little too much at times. I had to pay a
lot of money when my cat was very sick, when the cause was unclear, but
because of all the xrays and tests, he was better rather quickly with
his clear diagnosis and medications. So, it's up to you what means
more. If you want a cheap "quick-fix"- don't go here because you won't
find it. If you want your pet to get the full treatment & can spend
the extra money, this is the doctor to go to. If my mother was sick
and we weren't sure why, I sure wouldn't cut corners on tests and care.
All things considered, I may see if I can find the best of both worlds
somewhere else, where I can leave happy with a healthy pet, and also
have some extra money in my wallet. I understand the frustration from
other customers about the costs (believe me- it was a rough month for me
financially!) but please don't underestimate Dr. Atwal's intentions or
abilities- they are outstanding." -Michelle M.(Yelp)
"I have two dogs that have both been to the Adams Pet Clinic since the
day we got them - I'm very happy with the service we've received. Dr
Atwal is very sweet and knowledgeable. It would be great however if the
offered payment plans but will still continue our pet care there." -Traci F. (Yelp) "Dr. Atwal has performed so many surgeries and diagnoses for dogs I've
brought to him, it's hard to know where to start. He sees my personal
dogs, and has tackled every complicated mystery mess dog I've rescued
out of the shelter (in excess of 2000 dogs). His surgeries, knowledge,
attention to detail and skills are all top notch. He's not the cheapest
place in town; I've been to the cheapest and have had to go to Adam Pet
Clinic after to have the dog's botched procedure redone correctly." -Sara R. (Yelp) "My friends have been telling me to go see Dr. Atwal for a long time. At
first, I was hesitant to switch vets, but I had a bad experience with my
last vet. So, I decided why not, let's give it a try. I have a 11 year
old Lab mix who is always squeamish at the vets. She had this oozing
growth on the side of her leg near her paw. My previous vet would muzzle
her to simply examine her in the room. He did not want to remove the
growth either, or rather warned against it due to her age. When I took
her to Dr. Atwal, the receptionist Amanda and another younger gentleman
greeted me cordially and gave me some sheets to fill out. Dr. Atwal gave
the most thorough exam I had ever seen. He was completely hands on with
my dog, and he did not use a muzzle at all. They advised a few blood
tests, which I decided to go ahead with. They called me back the next
morning and told me the tests said that everything was fine. Two days
later she went in and had the growth removed. I recommend Dr. Atwal
because he truly loves pets and what he does." -Kenneth B. (Yelp) "This is an honest and knowledgeable clinic.
I have been going to
this clinic since 1998 when I got my first dog. We now have 3 dogs. 2
Whippets and 1 German Sheperd. My pets have always been treated gently
and well cared for here. They do nails, dental care, neuter, spade,
and routine exams for my pets.
Dr. Atwal saved the younger
whippet's life when he had eaten rat poison. He also cleared a large
object stuck in German Sheperd's throat. He was able to avoid surgery
in both cases and get a great outcome. 5 stars." -Farzod N. (Yelp) "My wife and I moved from a very rural area on the North Coast of
California, where everyone knows everyone by first name.
We were
more than delighted to find Dr. Atwal and his friendly and competent
staff.
He is a very kind and gentle veterinarian, whom I would
recommend to anyone. We've been fortunate to have good vets for our
pets, and Dr. Atwal is one of the best.
In one relative
emergency, and in another case where a cat really needed to be seen
quickly due to an infection, Dr. Atwal found the time, and he treated
both competently.
Each cat had their lab results back quicker
than any other veterinarian than we have ever been to, and as I said,
all have been good.
They also take really good care of your pets
when they are there. Only people who truly love animals could be so kind
to cats, dogs and other pets.
We have four cats and we plan to
continue taking them all to Dr. Atwal.
We couldn't think of a
more professional, competent veterinarian, one whose capstone to his
service is to be sincere with customers and gentle with pets." -Glenn F.(Yelp)
"I have been to five different vets before going to adam pet clinic. I am
sooo grateful for Dr. Atwal and his staff. He never pushes me to get
anything I don't want. The person that mentioned that the dog hadn't
been to the clinic for the last several years??Are you really taking
care of your pet by not getting annual check ups. Then you get upset as
if you are the best dog owner in the world! PLEASE! if you cared so much
for your pet, you wouldn't be calling around! Don't blame others for
you not taking your pet in at the proper time!" -Katie M. (Yelp)
"I've been taking my pug here since he was 12 weeks old (he's 8 now) and
everything's always been tip top. They've guided my poor pup through
neutering, a broken leg, a parasite and a near-death chocolate eating
experience. Dr. Atwal always seems genuinely happy to see my dog and
inspires a great deal of confidence. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere
else." -Igoldbard (SV CitySearch)
"Most excellent and caring: This vet is very caring and good with
animals.
I highly recommend him" -Jeffrey W. Tuttle (Yahoo)
"wow. i love this clinic, and dr
atwal is my favorite vet ever in over 10 years of dog ownership." -Bruce Sears (Yahoo)
"These people are very caring and resonable in price. I moved further
away and I still go all the way over there to see them." -Darthv95(Yahoo)
"This place has great service, caring people, and a clean environment. I
moved away from the area, moved back, and my dog still goes to Adam Pet
Clinic. She loves it there! They truly are animal lovers, and a great
vet. Open Saturday mornings too!" -Amy (Yahoo)
