Had a fantastic experience taking my dogs here. The staff were friendly, the vet we saw was knowledgeable and very helpful. When one of my dogs continued to have issues with urination after the visit, the vet was patient and responsive, taking time for several additional conversations by phone as we continued to work out the best treatment. Would recommend :)

Dr. Paul and his staff are wonderful. My cats are a lot more comfortable here than previous vets we've seen. Dr. Paul explains things to me really well so I can understand what's going on with their health. He also stays up to date on new research and recommended wet food for our overweight cat. It worked great and she is much healthier now!

This place continues to impress--several years after my initial yelp review. They're so sympathetic and responsive. They recently prescribed medication for my dog over the phone and mailed it to me. They originally didn't want to prescribe it unless the other potential solutions didn't pan out, but after we realized a prescription was necessary, I was please they didn't make me revisit the office and pay for another appointment. This place really is tops. A++ Original Review in May 2009: I am a relatively new pet owner. However, my dog Wilma has already visited 4 different vets and yet I hadn't met one I truly liked until today. She was recently diagnosed and treated for a UTI at a pet hospital in San Francisco where I was saddled with a $400 bill. Further, I was "urged" to get an ultrasound for Wilma because it was highly likely that she could have complications from a poorly done spay procedure. Thankfully, I gave her the antibiotics and brought her to Arroyo Animal Clinic for a follow up. Dr. Michelle was very kind, thorough and clearly not out to oversell procedures (as I have encountered during each of my prior 3 interactions at different vets). From the outside, the facility appears a bit dated--the inside is very homey and clean. It's not a recently built facility, but perfectly functional for an animal clinic. I called late on a Monday and had no trouble getting an appointment same or next day. When I walked in, the staff were expecting us. Wilma was seen immediately and I felt that I could ask as many questions as needed and spend as long as I wanted. Dr. Michelle explained that she thought an ultrasound was overkill and that my dog's symptoms would be much more severe if it truly was a botched spay. Regardless, she pointed out what steps I should take to monitor the situation and only return if ultimately warranted. Total cost of the visit was $52. Compared to all my prior vet experiences, I was happy to take out my credit card and pay. Further, Dr. Michelle spent a bunch of time with me reviewing pet insurance options. She didn't make an explicit recommendation but pointed out where I should do more research to find the plan that was right for me and my dog. In summary, it was an A++ experience. I will only be taking my dog here from now on!

Best vet in the world. My beautiful cat has many issues due to his 16-year old injury. He has done better with Dr. Paul than with any other vet. I feel like Dr. Paul really cares about my cat's health. Several times he has called me to give me detailed information about medicines and options. This vet is on my side. I recommend him and his kind, efficient staff very, very highly.
