WE LOVE THE DRAKE CENTER! A friend of mine recommended the Drake Center when we moved to Encinitas, and they have been amazing! The front office staff are professional and friendly, and our westie is a big fan of Jenny! :) I can't say enough about the vet techs and the veterinarians, especially Dr. Hamlet and Dr. Shotwell who always take such good care of our sweet boy. He is a member of the family and they treat him like one too. I know when we walk in the Drake Center we are in good hands and that is an extremely reassurin... read more
We have always been very happy w the service we and our pets get at the Drake Center. We have been going there since 1999 and have seen the place grow and services expand. We highly recommend the Drake Center and have referred multiple friends there who are also very happy there. It is great that they have office hours 7 days a week and the staff are nice to our pets.
I've driven by this place over the years so many dozens of times and had my first experience with them today. Very, Very caring first impression, even had a welcome to new clients in the lobby with our cat's name on it. From reception to doctor, we were treated with friendly, respectful and professional folks. Didn't balk when I mentioned ordering the meds on line and wrote me a prescription. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for your excellent service today.
We have seen various vets in North County. We feel that we are in good hands at the Drake. They compassionately helped us put our dog with cancer down. I will always appreciate their help. They treat our current dog wonderfully and really went the extra mile when we had an emergency. Thank you. Your pet will love them too!
We've been taking our dogs to the Drake Center for over 10 years. We love them. They have helped us find the specialists we need to care for some of our dogs more extreme issues. Very clean and welcoming facility. Warm staff who are very timely and they have weekend hours. They are on the expensive end but we find they are worth it and provide outstanding care to our pups.
The Drake Center is AWESOME! The entire team is amazing and we always have positive experiences. A special shout out to Dr. Hamilton; amazing doctor and person! Thank you all! The Farmers
Every vet at the Drake Center that we have had treat our two dogs and one cat has been excellent. The dogs love them and are happy to see them - first clue they really are dog people. The vet will often sit right on the floor with the dog so it doesn't feel overwhelmed by a stranger hovering over them. They ask lots of questions because they know the owner is with the dog (or cat) all the time and can be an insightful partner is honing down the problem. There are obvious health issues any vet will be able to quickly identify... read more
The BEST vet around. Been coming to the Drake Center for almost 20 yrs and will never leave. They genuinely care about our pets and always give the very best care. They are an extension of our family.
I have been a client here for 14 years. Obviously I'm very happy with the care my beloved dogs receive. Everyone here is a pleasure to interact with; from the front desk to all of the vets. Two of the saddest events of my life took place here, losing beloved dogs, & on both occasions Dr Hamlet had the misfortune of being the vet to end my dog's suffering. Her empathy, professionalism & loving care of my dogs on those horrible days made me feel that someone understood just how devastating a moment it was & I very much appreci... read more
