Stay away from this place. It's very suspicious that they asked us for OUR social security number, place of work etc. To top it off, they offered to serve us ONLY if we gave them cash--basically asking us to give them money under the table. When we asked what they needed the number for, they just said it was their policy and repeated that we would have to pay in cash if we didn't want to fill out the form. After this, they offered to let us talk to the manager, who turned out to be the vet's daughter, who took us into a room and told us brashly that we would have to fill out the form or they would not see our dog. We asked what they needed the number for again and she told us we were playing games and that she would have to escort us out, very angrily. When we asked for the form back, since it had our name and address on it, they REFUSED, and told us to leave, repeatedly saying we were paying games. Needless to say we felt extremely offended and appalled that they would rather turn us down and let our dog continue to suffer than take us. If you take your dog or cat here, remember YOUR PET IS NOT THEIR FIRST PRIORITY. Apparently, policy is.
Dr. Strathman is awesome, just wish he had better front of house staff. I normally use Norco Animal Hospital but was indifferent to the service I received there so I decided to try CCVH instead. The staff at CCVH seems to be lacking in knowledge and professionalism, which is a complete shame. I felt like I knew more than the staff at CCVH, which of course did not leave me feeling very confident in trusting them with my beloved pets. Do these girls even own or like animals? I stuck with the appointment anyways and I am glad I did because Dr. Strathman turned out to be a really great vet. Luckily he made up for his staff's shortcomings. Being an animal lover/owner for all these years has allowed me to meet my fair share of vets, Dr. Strathman is in my top 3. That's a huge compliment. Unfortunately he is selling himself and his abilities short with his current staff. It's a shame so many pets are missing out on great care because their owners are turned off by the CCVH staff. I don't blame them. Front of house staff represents the business and first impressions are everything. So if you can get past the negative first impressions of the CCVH staff, you'll find that an awesome vet works there too. BOTTOM LINE: Dr. Strathman= ***** 5 STARS! Staff= ** 2 stars
Not only do I own 4 dogs but I also volunteer for CCARE a non-profit associated with the Corona Animal Shelter. Dr. Strathman has the most experience of any vet in Corona- with over 30yrs experience in Corona. His compassion for animals was reflected personally when I took my 12yr old dalmatian Q.T. in for cancer treatment last year- he extended her life a couple months and made sure she was pain free and able to enjoy her last days with our family & other dogs. She died at home in her sleep peacefully early this year. Dr. Strathman is also active in the community and provided free vaccinations for all of Corona's senior citizens and their pets this past Monday July 12th. Any negative reviews are probably just a bad experience there- as I said I have been going for several years- with different pets- and I have always been treated great. The receptionist Leah is wonderful and I have never EVER been asked for a social security number or been treated rudely. On the other hand, VCA Acacia on 6th st in Corona is the MOST HORRIBLE vet in Corona- idiot staff (including the vets who mis-diagnose & overcharge extreme rates) DO NOT trust them with your pets!
dont recommend at all- staff is sooo rude over the phone and in person. Very very expensive...go elsewhere..theres manty many other veterinary hospitals in the area that are more family friendly..that dont rape you for check ups and follow ups...they know you vulnerable when you animal is in great need and they take advantage..emergency situation and my animal was taken by someone else to this hospital otherwise i would have gone to aacacia or centennial(non emergency)
Besides the office being very dirty and gross, other customers could not control their animals. The staff knowledge was lacking on every subject. I showed up 30 min early to my appointment to fill out paper work. I waited 45 min while 8 other dogs were checked in and taken back ( they dont let you go back with your animal, they take it back with them). No one was at the desk for 20 min when I decided to cancel my appointment myself. This place is a joke. If you dont value your pets life please go here.
