This is one of the best vet's offices I've ever taken my dog. The staff is kind and caring and always very friendly and helpful. The office is open 7 days a week which brings me peace of mind knowing I can bring in my dog any day in case of an emergency. The facility is clean and never smells.

We boarded our sweet dog here while we were away and she passed away under their care. We dropped our dog off who we loved and cared for and who our vet (at a different practice) had just examined and said she was healthy to never being able to see her again. We trusted them as a medical boarding facility and that's the biggest mistake of our lives. Throughout her stay we got calls from a Dr Borsak, who has horrible bedside manner, telling us she wasn't doing well. When I said should we come back is it that serious we were t... read more

Wonderful practice! Responsive, caring and organized. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly and professional. After not being able to get timely appointments at my regular vet's office, I asked a friend where they go and she recommended Drake Center. Have been bringing our cat here for the last year or so and couldn't be more pleased. I really believe they provide top notch, thorough care. They were particularly impressive during the pandemic, with how they organized services. They are now helping manage our kitty ... read more

After losing my first dog's amazing vet 4 years ago and then dealing with a couple of veterinarians who basically used me and my dog only for profit, doing unnecessary treatments or more than were needed, and pushing drugs that they sell themselves, I finally arrived at the Drake Center. There, from the moment I walked through the door, I felt the kindness and an energy of empathy and compassion. My dog had a very bad heart condition and his prognosis was not good to begin with. We were seen by Dr. Kovac. She is AMAZING, she... read more

So happy my friend recommended this place for my dog. Couldn't be happier with the visit. The staff is very friendly, the Doctor was very thorough in her exam...she took her time as well as answered all of my questions. From the first call, the communication from everyone has been wonderful...refreshing compared to my previous vet. I highly recommend The Drake Center!!

We took our new pup in for his first check up! Everyone was great and explained puppy care to my kids in words they could understand.

I am absolutely sad to write this review about Drake after being their client for few months. They have NOT once mentioned about putting our pup on preventatives for heart worm. now she is 10 months old and has been visiting the vet since 4 months old.... Her skin issues have STILL not been resolved and given us with tons of medications. the other vet said that the medications for that young age shouldn't be given that much from back to back. VERY DISAPPOINTED with their quality of service. 

Business response:

Hi Jessica, I would love to follow up with you regarding your sweet girl’s visits with us. Allergies can often be challenging for many dogs living in Southern California. I would love to connect with your further to be sure you get everything you need. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Christine Spencer Hospital Administrator

Turns out on sat morning our dogs platlets were at 11,000 dr tiglio couldn't get a hold of me but kept trying all numbers to reach out to my wife to let her know we need to bring our dog to vetenarian specialist in sorrento valley our dog was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and is currently hospitalized but should survive thank you ... read more

This office is kind, compassionate and organized. They helped us as new patients when our dog needed euthanasia and our regular vet office was closed. Very grateful to this team and their sweet demeanor in a difficult time. Thank you!
