Caring, efficient, honest and Capable. Dr. Grant and team are great to pets and people. I have never been impressed with veterinarian care givers, until their life saving efforts with Sydney, I am truely appreciative. Not having and appointment system is different, but once you realize the great care you are getting it is a non-issue. THANK YOU!

I went in with my 6 week old kitten about a month ago because he was non-stop drooling/seeping something from his mouth and he was acting very sleepy which wasn't normal for him. the nurses there were very sweet and concerned for my little kitten and the doctor was even nicer! we figured out what was wrong(had sores/cuts in his mouth), i was given medicine for him and he stopped drooling that day and the sores went away with the medicine! Yay! over-all a very nice place, not too expensive, and nurses/doctors very nice and genuinely seemed to want to help.

Dr. Grant is very compassionate and a very skilled vet. The prices are very reasonable here compared to other places. I do not mind the no appointment thing as that means on any day I can bring my pet in. They do not do unnecessary procedures and they look out for ways to reduce costs. They are experienced and are not afraid of working dogs or schutzhund dogs like a lot of other vets. I admire this place as they rehabilitated and rescues that German Shepherd named "Courage" that made the news as its owner left it tied up for a month and it had to eat dirt to fill its stomach. Courage is in a loving home now with a full recovery! My only complaint is that the front office staff needs a lesson in compassion and dealing better with people. They need to understand that even though they have seen everything a hundred times and that this is routine for them, it is not that way for a lot of people with really sick or injured animals. We owners need some care, kindness, and gentleness too. I know that the front staff has to deal with people that don't pay, are jerks, etc a lot. But we are not all that way and sometimes we are so upset and in a state of shock or despair. Please understand that and be nicer. Its the worst front office staff I have had to deal with. YOU are the first impression people experience. Would it kill you to be a little nicer? Say things a little gentler? Act like you feel our pain too? I really think the front staff should go through some training on this. This is the only thing I do not like about this place, Even with that being said, the good outweighs the bad. I will still return for future care of my pets. I hope they are reading this and take this review to heart and improve. If they do, they will be perfect and there will be nothing to complain about.

Dr. Grant is wonderfully compassionate. After taking my cat to 5 different vets he was the only one who took the time and effort to accurately diagnose my cat. It turned out that he had an inopperable tumor and later passed away. However, prior vets has run numerous tests on him and they all came out negative. The prices at CVH are very fair and if I had taken my cat to Dr. Grant in the first place I would have saved a lot of heartache, time and $$$ and my dear kitty wouldn't have been traumatized by visiting numerous vets.

I'm amazed by the horrible reviews on this page. Dr. Grant and his staff set the standard for working dogs and pets in So Cal. Knowledgeable and compassionate. It is well worth the drive from San Diego for my dog's care to have the benefit of their expertise. Yes- it is true that they do not take appointments, but I am more than willing to wait to know that my dog is receiving the best care possible. As another reviewer pointed out- the prices are extremely fair. Poor Patty got slammed on this page. Don't believe everything you read. I had hoped not to mention this day, but I will if only to defend Patty. I have dealt with her on many occasions and have never had an issue. In fact, when I had to bring my German Shepherd in to be put to sleep, her calm, professional manner is what kept me together enough to be able to drive home. I wish I could give this office more than a 5 star rating. Many thanks to everyone at Dr. Grant's office for taking care of me and my dog- Warner S.
