I can't begin to express how caring and knowledgable the Drake team is. From simple checkups to the "tough" conversations, they handle themselves and all of their clients with the utmost professionalism and brilliance. If you need a small animal doctor, please consider Drake because they WILL take care of you.

Beware of this vet. They are persistent at adding charges. They always up-sell you for every visit.

If you want the best, then Drake is the BEST! After a 2 year struggle with allergies for my cat, countless visits to another vet, I feel that that after 1 visit, his allergies will be under control. I could feel that my cat felt comfortable there. I also liked that the doctor called to following day to see how he was doing. And a BIG shout out to the Front office- So kind - A NEW CLIENT TO DRAKE

In my opinion, Drake Center has the best Veterinarians in North County. My family has owned several dogs and a few cats over the past 30+ years, so my opinion is based solely on personal experiences with other Veterinary offices in San Diego, My wife's cat (Oscar), whom she owned for 12+ years, had to be put to sleep due to cancer in 2010. The whole situation was rough, but everyone at Drake showed they cared during the entire process and sent a very thoughtful sympathy card to my wife afterwards. A few years have gone by an... read more

Just left my 13 year old diabetic kitty for boarding with Drake while I had surgery. They texted pictures and gave us updates throughout her stay. They were also flexible when I had to stay in hospital longer than planned. My kitty came home much calmer than she ever has boarding elsewhere. Usually it takes a week or more for her to readjust. This time only a day. I am so relieved to have found a place that takes such good care of her. And they are closer to my home than her previous location for boarding. Great job Drake t... read more

I wrote a long story and it got deleted but I feel like the drake center deserves a good review. Truly I do. My cat Madison is my child. I love her more than anything and was distraught when she was taken over by fleas and just did not seem healthy. My friend suggested taking her to the drake center so I did. They were able to get Madison in that day. They let me stay in there and explained the whole process to me and were very kind to me my mom and my cat. Everybody in the office was amazing. Prices were pricey but my cat i... read more

The vets and staff at Drake take really great care of my "constantly eating socks and toys" Bouvier! Dr. Shotwell is professional, keeps my boy relaxed, spends time with us and follows up with a phone call when needed. I moved to OC and still drive down for his appts. They need to remove the "yummy cookies" on the reception counter. Lucca keeps emptying the dish!

Left my cat there all day for over $1000 worth of X-rays and tests. When I called from work towards the end of day for news the Vet was positive all test were negative. Good news right? As I got to pick up my 2 yr old Layla who was on fluids all day. The vet tells me that she has not urinated all day and her bladder was not working. Layla NEVER CAME HOME. What were they doing??
