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.

My chihuahua needed teeth cleaning, but I didn't know how bad her teeth really were. Dr Dilworth and Dr. Leslie were very kind and explained that her teeth were in poor shape. After all was done she had 16 teeth extracted. I was embarrased that I had let this go so long, but Dr Leslie was very patient. I highly recomend this vet for accomodating us so quickly and making the appointment go so smoothly (for handling an 11 year old chihuahua). My 'baby' came home with pain meds which she really didn't need and is eating like cr... read more

This is as much a review of the Drake Center as it is a thank you to Dr. Borsack. My name's Hank. I'm just a little terrier. Ok... I'm a mix, but most people guess terrier. A few years ago I went in just not feeling "super" and they were like, yeah it's Covid time nobody feels super but let's take a look. The staff was so kind and complimentary. I had just gotten a fur cut. Sometimes if I'm not feeling real hot I like to treat myself and see if I can kinda bust the slump, ya know? They noticed and hey that matters to me. The... read more

Ive taken my 8 year old dog there 3 times in the past 4-5 months to treat her hives on her skin. All they do is prescribed her a boat load of meds each time and charged me a ton of money. My poor dog hasn't gotten any better. After all this time i think the culprit is that she's allergic to her dog food. I had to figure this out on my own because the drake center failed to recognize the issue a couple thousand dollars later.
Business response:
Hi Austin, We are so sorry to hear you were unsatisfied with your experience. While we understand your frustration, it is important to note that treating skin conditions can take time, and works best if there is compliance on both ends. It is also important to note that food was one of the rule-outs, and food trials do also take time to complete. Unfortunately, dermatology issues are not easily solved and require continuous maintenance and care; when narrowing down the cause of skin conditions or irritations, we prescribe ... read more
I have 3 rescue cats. 5.5 yrs old. All in good health. The times where we do need help, The Drake Center is our first choice. They are friendly and helpful on the phone, they have vets that are great with cats and they make everything as easy and stress free as possible for both my cats and me. They go out of their way to be kind and helpful. Wish I could find medical care like this for humans! Thank you Dr Leslie and team, you guys are simply fantastic!!
Business response:
Hi, Marilyn. We are blushing! We are honored to be your first choice and we are thrilled to learn that you and your sweet cats had positive experiences with The Drake Center team and Dr. Leslie! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and thank you again.
I discovered The Drake Center when looking for a better and more knowledgeable vet to help me handle travel health certificates. They were SO knowledgeable. The staff was extremely helpful, Arlene at the front was so kind and answered all my questions, Angel and all the techs were so so sweet and I loved Dr. Madison VanWorth! She was amazing and so so helpful. I only wish I discovered them sooner before moving out of the country! They have been so amazing these past couple weeks in helping me get my dog up to date on everyth... read more

Hi, Lara. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us! We sincerely thank you for your kind and detailed review. We appreciate your time and thank you again!
I have brought my pets here for over 15 years and have always had great care. Even when moving to Vista, it was worth the drive for my dogs to go somewhere trusted for their regular shots and check ups. Really efficient and easy check-in process and I feel like we are always in and out of there very quickly.
Business response:
Hi, Jasmine. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review! We are so honored that you have been a part of the Drake Center family for 15+ years, and can't wait to care for your pets for years to come. Thank you so much again!
