Unknown to me, South Bay Veterinary Hospital made a donation to the UCDavis Veterinary Hospital Companion Animal Memorial Fund in memory of my big black lab and wonderful companion, Sammy. What a caring way to show their dedication to the care of our beloved pets/family companions and their recognition of their importance in our life. I only knew of the donation because of a letter from the Director of the Center for Companion Animal Health at the University.

Do not go here! Dr. Deo's negligence has cost me over $1500 in surgeries. I brought my dog here for blocked tear ducts. I was given eye drops to put in both eyes twice daily. I followed all of Dr. Deo's directions, but one of her eyes became swollen so I took her back in. As soon as I met with Dr. Deo he asked me if she was wearing her E-collar the whole time. I said no because he never gave me one or even suggested it. He then told me she scratched her eye and gave me new meds. If I was given the E collar in the first place this wouldn't have happened, but I decided I would try the new meds out before I argued that point. Her eye became much worse and we had to take her back in. He informed my husband that she needed surgery that would cost $410. When my husband asked them to take into consideration that they were responsible for this whole situation, they offered him a $10 discount... you've got to be kidding. They told him surgery would be done at 2. I called them to discuss the situation around 1:45 in which Dr. Deo claimed he offered me the E collar and I chose not to get it, and they had paperwork I signed proving it. When I asked to see the paperwork he changed his story, telling me that I was not offered the E collar because the injury was completely unrelated. He then told me he refused to do the surgery (which should've already been done) and to come pick my dog up. When my husband arrived they had already drugged her for surgery and handed my husband a limp doped up dog. Since then Ive had to spend countless hours and over $1500 fixing the problem he created. I was referred to an animal eye specialist who informed me that Dr. Deo isn't even qualified to preform that big of an eye surgery, and for $400 they had no idea what he was going to do.Ive had to take her to multiple vets who were disturbed when I tell them about this experience. After looking through his notes he faxed to my new vet, he actually wrote on my first visit's notes "Rec E collar" I don't write bad reviews very often, but this man is the worst person I've ever met. We all make mistakes, it's how you fix them that shows everyone who you really are.

I love South Bay Veterinary Hospital! They have to be the best Veterinary I have ever used. The staff is super nice, understanding and will work with you no matter the situation. I was super nervous about taking my cat in to be neutered because I have never had an animal neutered before. They were very patient with me and my thousands of worries and hundreds of calls to check if he was okay. They never once have been rude and have always treated my babies with excellent care. I have never had to wait longer then 15 mins and most of the time I am in within 5 mins. I highly recommend South Bay!

So far the Doctor and staff have been great and willing to work with me for my very sick cat. She was given to us over a year and a half ago, sick, but we didn't know it at the time. The doctor and the staff are doing what they can to help us out. I have severe financial issues and cannot afford to put my kitty in the hospital. The doctor and staff have been great with answering questions and helping us take care of my kitty at home. I just hope she survives. Right now it isn't looking very good.

The staff at South Bay Vet are very professional and caring towards my female cat Nina. They always understand my needs even under my budget, and are very attentive. I have never had a bad experience here and have been coming back for almost five years. I highly recommend this Vet for loving pet owners, you will have no regrets. Thanks South Bay Vet, see you on my next appointment!
