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!
The best care we have received from a vet. Great during Covid and unbelievably kind as we dealt with a very difficult situation with our pet. My highest recommendation!
The Drake Center is great! We've had wonderful interactions with all of the staff from reception to vet techs to veterinarians. The care we receive at each interaction is excellent. The Drake Center takes time to thoroughly understand our concerns and questions and make us as first time pet owners feel more confident. The Drake Center has earned our trust and we're lucky to have them in the neighborhood.
The Drake Center contiue to be the best Vet hands down in San Diego. We are taking a long trip to Hawaii which can be very hard to due with all the paperwork and labs, vaccine down in a timely manner. They have gone above and beyond to help me through this process & I cant thank you enough. Thanks again Dr. Shotwell & all the staff @ drake center!!!
A mis-diagnose based on an x-ray led the vet at Drake tell me a "foreign material" was stuck in my cats stomach and that I should take him to the emergency vet specialist for endoscopy ASAP. $1,700, two specialists, and an overnight stay later, my cat recovered from UTI and a stuck piece of poo which was easily removed with non-invasive procedure. So, either the x-ray machine sucks at Drake or the doc mis-read the image. After I presented them with all the info, they insisted that the diagnose was correct. I wish you better ... read more
Business response:
Your pet was referred to a specialist for additional follow up diagnostics and care. Medical conditions are very fluid and can change quickly. Doctors are only able to make judgments based on the information available at the time and can change rapidly due to the fluidity of medicine. We always recommend the best options for our patients and sometimes that means a referral to a specialist. We are happy your sweet kitty is back to good health.
I am so happy to have the Drake Center to care for my 13 y/o pup. A family friend recommended them, and I'm glad she did. Every employee, from reception to the technicians to the doctors are professional, kind, and thorough. If they can leave this impression after only phone contact (due to COVID), that is pretty outstanding. I worked with Dr. Dilworth and she is wonderful. She's detailed and caring, and you can tell she's passionate about her job. She's there for you for follow up support as well, like when I had questions ... read more
This place is AMAZING! Staff is kind gentle and stayed late to remove foxtail from our Golden Retriever
Dr. Hamlet and the staff were so helpful to our dog Rocky. We appreciate their hard work. This is the only place I will bring my dogs to. They are absolutely incredible. Can't say enough great things about them.
I tried some other vets around the area when we first moved here about 6 yrs ago and nothing compares to the Drake Center. My dog has severe anxiety and they take such great care of her. They call to check up after vet visits and really help on pricing.
