    Disappointing. Made anappointment for mycat Harley tosee thevet. Instead, hewas seen only bythe office manager/dietician, the receptionist, and anassistant. Thevet, Iwas told, was insurgery, unavailable, soHarley was never intended tobe seen bythevet, apparently, due toa scheduling conflict unbeknownst tome, until Iasked. Irecently moved and decided togive this place atry since it's around the corner from mynew place, versus driving adistance tohis formervet. Hehad abad tooth preventing him from eating. Iwarned the girls hewould probably beuncooperative, but due tocovid, they wouldn't let mein back withhim. The office manager returned after several minutes saying hewouldn't let them pethim, hescratched one ofthe girls, sohe was returned tome inhis carrier entangled intwo leashes. One was wrapped around his neck, the other onhis legs. She said, “You can keep the leashes.” Iremoved the leashes without incident from mycat, and easily returned them. Itconcerned methat itlooked asthough they had tried tohog tie him insome type ofconstraints when hedidn't easily submit tothem ortheir examination. Previously, when Harley was taken tohis former vet inthe old neighborhood for prior dental issues, the vet didn't have aneasy exam either, but hegot itdone without constraints, sedatives, blood tests, lab work and more according tothe nearly $700billing estimate they then presented mein order toget Harley's tooth lookedat. Ideclined. They charged mefor their 35minutes 'appointment time', which Ipaid, but for what services Idon't know, since Harley left inworse shape than before wearrived. Upon leaving, Isaid I'd get back intouch, but don't intend togo further with them. The receptionist left mea follow-up voicemail regarding Harley, asking how “she” was doing.
    Uh, delete.

      We are sosorry that your visit was not toyour satisfaction- Wedid NOT charge you a$55.00medical examfee, you were however charged atechnician visit because the time (45minutes) that was invested trying towork with yourcat, and for the “Fraidy Cat” protocol package that also includes medication. There was noreason for amedical exam withDr. Heist because she would have been unable totouchhim. There was nomajor scheduling conflict. TheDr. was running afew minutes behind, and ifyour kitty would have been able tobe handled, theDr. would have seenhim, the minute she finished. Weare afear free hospital and with that said- After multiple attempts toget asimple TPR onyourcat, itwas decided that hewould need tocome back under our “Fraidy Cat” protocol, which you were given. Weuse aharnessing method onall cats, and wesurely did NOT hog tiehim, orany pet for that matter! Wecould not get the leashing harnessing offhim. Asfor the estimate pricing that you were given- Your cat isa senior feline, that had not been seen bya veterinarian since 2014, when hewas 2yearsold. Wedeliver Gold Stand ofCare, and our estimates reflect that. Exam, lab work, vaccines, and any medications that may beneeded togo home. $700was the very highend!
      Again, weare sosorry!

      It's too soon for meto adequately evaluate Rincon Vista, but sofar I've been favorably impressed byDr. Heist and her team. Ihave felt valued asa customer and more importantly, Ifeel they care about mypet. Itis avery well organized business, with lots ofways ofstaying intouch with clients. Ireally appreciated them getting mypet inon super short notice!

      I dofind having consultations out inthe lobby with other pet owners listening feels awkward, and miss the days ofmore private c

      onversations inexam rooms, especially when discussing painful medical topics.

      I haven't decided yet ifI'm going tomake this mylong-term vet choice. Because ofmy financial situation, Imay need togo back tousing alow-income vet alternative. But itis growing onme.

            Great visit! Idid alittle research ofcourse before going here and the reviews we’re amazing for areason! Itwas mypuppies first visit tothe vet soI was alittle nervous, but that feeling quickly passed. They were able tosqueeze mein same day asmy puppy was inpain. The receptionist was very nice and friendly. The vet tech weworked with was VERY knowledgeable and took time toexplain every option, answering any questions Ihad and making mefeel comfortable with whatever path Ichose to godown. Mypuppy definitely made alot ofnew friends with the staff! DrHeist came out tospeak with meand was personable, kind and you can tell she really cares about her patients. All she wants isthe best for everypup. She goes over every little detail inwhat she diagnoses and why things are the way theyare. Overall agreat experience and will betaking all ofmy dogs there from nowon. Thanks guys!– show

                  They're not agood business, they refused totest mydog for parvo until atotal for 4weeks after exposure and anybody who has any common sense knows parvo can kill adog indays. then they charged me$65tomicrochip mypet,when Ibrought mypet toanother vet turns out the microchip isn't there and when confronted about itthey said they'll charged me$85toput another onein. Its very unprofessional and they don't care about the animals mydog has been untrusting and timid since bringing himhere asa puppy. Won't begoing back.– show

                      I took mydog infor anexam that was supposed tobe55.00, every time the assistant came out she kept coming upwith more and more they wanted todo. Just anexam, ashot and aear cleaning ended upcosting me$180.00dollars. Then they gave mean estimate of1,500to1,600for acyst tobe removed, and telling memy dog might not even survive the surgery. They are not very concerned about the pet orthe customers financial situation. Itall about the money for them.

                              We were having tremendous difficulty finding avet with any openings tosee our pup with aninjuredpaw. The kind people atRincon Vista also didn't have any openings, but they squeezed him inand psyched himup. Weare very appreciative.

Has the vet called backno, are they open Fridayno. Soour dog just continues tohave the same medical problems. Now granted the vet did squeeze herin, but atthis point what iswrong what medication does she need toget better. Instead atthis point she isonly getting worse. Would not recommend thisvet.

                                        My experience atRincon Vista Veterinary Center could not have been better. Everyone shows they really care about your pet and they want them tobe well— just asmuch asyoudo. Ihave been coming here for over 20years and they have taken great care ofmy 6dogs. Iwould not think ofgoing anywhere else.
