This is my favorite vet now and I have been to many different retailers over the years with my pug. I go to Dr. Lee she is the best you can see she truly cares. When my pug had to go to the emergency 24 hour vet over in carlsbad and I thought i was going to have to put him down I got a call from Dr.Lee asking me how he was doing and what was going on even though she wasn't treating him at the time. No one does that these days! You can tell she really cares. Also, this vet in my experience has reasonable prices and they don't... read more

Hi Kelly, Wow! Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. We’re truly honored to be your go-to vet, and we’re so grateful for your trust over the years. Dr. Lee will be so touched to hear your kind words; she - like all our doctors - genuinely pours her heart into every patient, and it means the world to know her care made such an impact during a difficult moment with Henry. We also appreciate you highlighting the importance of compassionate, guilt-free care. Our goal is always to work with our clients to fin... read more
When you are getting the paperwork together to travel internationally with your pets, you want to work with someone with full knowledge based on recent experience. Because the risk of uncertainty is too great! Dr. Madison spoke with knowledge acquired from history with processes and systems. She knew the ins and outs of documents, requirements, and timing, and discussed them with us thoroughly, all the while sitting on the floor for the comfort and confidence of our more timid dog. It was smooth sailing when we got to the ot... read more

My companion of 18 years was carried across the bridge on 8/8/2024 at 18 Dr VanWorth, Dr Kovac, and Dr Leslie had done their best in making clinical assessments on Coco at the time but for nearly 3 years in Heart disease MMVD stage B2 with severe regurgitation, Coco was always on borrowed time. On her last day X-rays showed her entire cavity filled with fluid and that was time. Coco refused to go down without a fight - her will to be loved and to live was strong but her ailing condition was inevitable Thanks for your care an... read more
Business response:
Dear Harold, We are so deeply sorry for your loss of Coco. Our hearts go out to you during this difficult time. Coco was truly a fighter, and we know how strong your bond was with her. It was an honor to be a part of her care and to support her through these challenging years. Dr. VanWorth, Dr. Kovac, and Dr. Leslie, along with our entire team, will always remember Coco’s strength, resilience, and the love you shared with her. We understand how hard these past few years must have been for you both, and we’re grateful that ... read more
Drake Center is AMAZING. My dog and myself especially LOVE Dr Hamlet! She has been instrumental in the health journey of my chow mix. I am no doctor and certainly have no idea what I'm doing as a first time dog owner. I trust Drake center and really feel that they care about my dog and have nothing but her best interest.
Business response:
Dear Nicole, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your chow mix have had such a positive experience with us - especially with Dr. Hamlet!

Dr. Hamlet and our entire team are committed to making sure every pet feels loved and cared for, and we’re so happy to hear that you’ve felt that dedicat... read more
The doctors and staff are amazing and very caring. Pretty pricey but what vet isn't? The facility is clean and has a satellite office within walking distance.

I've been coming to The Drake Center for the past few years ever since our past vets office closed. I am SO incredibly thankful to have found them. I have seen several vets there and they are always kind, helpful, and not pushy which I really appreciate. However, this review in specific is for Dr. Leslie. She is an angel as far as vets go! Dr. Leslie has been such a blessing for our family. She has been the most supportive, friendly, and caring vet I have ever met. She takes her time during our appointments, gives our pets l... read more

My go to veterinary hospital for both of my dogs. The staff is so nice and professional. They always answer the phones promptly and follow up on any request. The drive is over 30 minutes for me and they are worth it. Dr. Tiglio sees both my pets, and does acupuncture for one of my dogs. She is the best! I could not recommend her more highly.
