Vista Veterinary Hospital

Had an unfortunate experience at another vet in vista and decided to try a different vet. What a good choice! The positive reviews here are spot on, they care about the patients and their owners and it is apparent. My kitty was having problems with her kidneys and heart but instead of gauging me for more tests and analysis (which is what the other vet wanted to do) Dr Bath got me started on a food/​fluid injection to maintain what is functioning correctly. I left feeling comfortable, knowledgable and hopwful for my kitty’s future care and health. Two days later I recieved a call checking on my kitty, when I told Yesenia that I plan on giving her the injections on mon, wed, and friday, she said she would call back on wed to see how it went. So happy I found these lovely women

Dr. Bath and her staff were wonderful with my cat today. They were very kind and gentle and it is obvious that they do this work because they love animals. And their prices are unbelievable reasonable. We moved to the area recently, from Laguna Niguel, and were quoted a teeth cleaning price that was a forth of what was charged back in LN. When I told Dr. Bath this, she responded that they do want the animals to get the care they need. Wonderful people. Take your fur babies here.

We love this place very kind staff and Vet she came in for me even sick drove 45 minutes to help me with my new puppy would highly recommend this place

The day I met Dr. Bath and Chrissy I knew I would never go anywhere else.
Dr. Bath is so gentle and kind. You can just see that she was meant to be in this profession.
They have taken care of my dad’s 15 year old cat for over 2 years now. We lost dad a year ago and I can’t tell you how much a part of him I still treasure. Tasha has had kidney failure and since fluids and medicine she is doing great! We have been in the office as much as 3 times a week for fluids. She also gets an arthritis injection and B 12 which really helps alot.
I am grateful beyond words for Dr. Bath! She truly cares about your babies and thanks to Chrissy and Yesenia for all you do!

I took my kitten in here to get her first set of shots, and deal with fleas. Dr. Bath and Chrissy truly care about animals as is made apparent in their office manner.
My little teeny tiny, Nikita, is in good hands here, and I will be back for her next set of shots in about a month, and then to get her fixed when she’s old enough.
Thanks Vista Vet! And they can do late appts on Tuesdays, til 6pm.

This place is awesome. They are inexpensive which helps me a lot since I only work part time. They take care credit which is a plus. I own 2 huskies and sometimes they get into trouble. When Sunset (1 of my huskies) hurt her paw (my neighbors dog got her paw and the pad was hanging, the bleeding wouldn’t stop) I didn’t know what to do. I called the vet office, it was a Sunday so they were close. However Yecenia was there, I explained what happend she told me to clean it and to bandage it, to keep on eye on her. She added Sunset to the appointment for Monday morning. On Monday Sunset got stiches, micro chipped, meds, the e-​collar and spade. All for under $ 400.00. I was at work and every time I called to check on her Yecenia and Dr. Bath were great. Even after her surgery everytime I called to ask a question, Yecenia always called me back with an answer. Everytime I take Sunset or Eclipse to the vet they are happy when they see the staff it’s like they feel they are at home. They are inexpensive, friendly and truly care about the pets.

I have found my new vet! I took in my baby, teacup Yorkie Rocco yesterday to have his ears looked at and from the moment I walked in to the moment we left the service was impeccable! Christy was absolutely AWESOME! Her customer service skills are on point. She was very gentle with our Rocco and very nice and informative to us.
Dr. Bath is absolutely lovely! She is so compassionate and caring and patient. We were in and out of the office very fast and Rocco is on the road to getting better.
It makes me sad and really confused to read some of the negatives reviews, but I am a true believer that to get respect you have to give it. And some customers feel they are entitled to behave in a rude fashion and just because you are a business you have to take it, and that is very unfair.
So if you are looking for loving, compassionate and affordable health care for your furry family please go to Vista Veterinary Hospital, you will not be disappointed.
One more thing, they also did a complimentary ear cleaning and nail trimming at no charge, which we didn’t expect but are truly appreciative for it. THANKS AGAIN!

I was referred to Vista veterinarian hospital was friendly and inexpensive. nothing could have been further from the truth. my two dogs, weighing less than 10 pounds each I received a bill for $ 387.60 naturally I was taken back but instead I paid the bill what else could I do. when my dogs were brought out to me I easily recognized one dog and the second dog I thought it was the wrong dog. the second dog was completely void of any hair and in no way did they have my permission to do that nor was it requested. I would not recommend sister veterinarian hospital on 1139 South Santa Fe Avenue in Vista her phone number is 760 — 726 — 1234 I am posting this because when I called their phone number to complain about the toes trimming that did not need to be done and I was charged $ 50 they hung up on me. like I said I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. but I do blame myself for a bit because when I went there there were no customers upon drop off and pick up. incidentally I did look up the average cost of a small dog grooming and it’s $ 50 incidentally I also requested worming that wasn’t done I also requested shots and that wasn’t done. the only thing they’re good at is scalping your dog and charge us for the prices that you have to pay if you want your dog. I only wish that nobody else has to suffer this abuse from Vista veterinarian hospital. by myself will start taking my dog to Petsmart or I can see the grooming process. and in well aware of any charges. this by far was the worst experience if I was not an elderly woman I would have fought it but I’m 79 years old and I have no time to fight over an injustice. Incidentally my one dog is traumatized still.

10 Stars**** I brought my fur baby Rosie here today. It is in a bit of an odd location but not hard to find. I called today and got a same day appointment (my now old vet was booked). I was so impressed with the friendly welcoming atmosphere. After the Doc took care of my baby she explained everything and gave some advice. I did not feel rushed and although I have no complaints about my old vet this is now where we belong. Thank you ladies (Dr. Bath and Chrissy) so much for taking care of Rosie and putting mama’s worries to rest.

An incredibly kind and caring facility. They were extremely sensitive in dealing with an emotional situation with our family cat. This was my first time here and am very grateful for what they did.

Dr. Bath is very knowledgeable and quick to respond to a phone call. Everyone at this Hospital is very compassionate and loving to every pet seen. My dog loves them. Especially Chrissy, the receptionist. She jumps and spins and gets so super excited when she sees Chrissy. Chrissy is such a great receptionist. She always answers the phone promptly no matter how busy she is helping the Dr. in the back. Not only that but she keeps the place so clean and knows what is going on with your pet. She is super quick with their system and so kind and thoughtful. She wears many hats and juggles them very well. I have never been over charged or asked to do a test that wasn’t needed. They work with me on payments. I would trust every animal with this Hospital.

This is by far the worst veterinary hospital around. I chose vista vet hospital because it’s new and nearby by and also I like to support a new business. The minute I walked I was greeted by Chrissy with an attitude, the receptionist. She has a puppy in a grate under her desk. It was barking like crazy. I couldn’t hear anything she said. Everything I asked, she just said «you have to wait.» She was the worst receptionist I ever seen, I don’t think She even likes dog nor cat. An idea of Chrissy handling my dog makes me not go to go back. My dog, zima, has kidney infection. The first visit costed us over $ 800. The following week, dr. Bath ran another test costed almost $ 300. She put IV on her less an hour, I got charged for $ 150. I was desperate and worried about my dog and I could think straight. And, she wanted to do ultrasound on zima, that would cost $ 350. I started to asking around for a better vet and I was recommended Melrose vet hospital. I called, they only charge $ 164 for ultrasound. So, I took zima right away, the facility is amazingly clean, the staffs are so friendly zima poop on the bench, they just happily clean it right up. Dr. Philips is very professional and knowledgeable. I left zima over night with IV, ultrasound and all kinds of tests. The next day, I picked zima up with all kinds of prescriptions only cost me $ 800. If you love and care for your dogs or cats, Do NOT take your pet here. I wonder if there’s law against overing charging client… I’ll look into it!

I called this veterinary office to inquire about neutering my kitten. The receptionist/​staff (named Chrissy or Kristi?) who answered the phone was very distracted. It wasn’t until we had talked for a few minutes with having to repeat everything I said when she asks to call me back because she was trying to handle a dog. She should’ve answered and asked to put me on hold, took care of the dog, then returned to the call, or had someone else take care of the call.
She calls me back and there was something about her tone that made it sound like I was inconveniencing her. There is always background with each review that expresses complaint, but there is also always a basis on how people should treat each other. I am a customer who called to ask a couple of questions and make an appointment; that does not warrant irritation and bad customer service. I understand if she was having a bad day, but all it takes is communication, self-​control, and maturity to help someone out. At the end of the phone call, I ended up cancelling my appointment. It’s true that most people who work in veterinary offices love animals and would never mistreat them, but that doesn’t mean you get to mistreat people for not being animals. This would’ve been a good experience if I felt like she wanted my business.

If there were 10 stars available, they would get all TEN…
I can’t say enough about Dr. Bath and technician, Chrissy. Not only are they courteous and caring, they are extremely diligent and thorough which eases my mind when it comes to problems with my pets. I have had my little dog AJ there for a tooth extraction, and everything went extremely well. The price was right, and the care given to AJ, impeccable. I have tried Melrose vet in the past for AJ’s teeth, and he came back with a contusion on his eyeball from «thrashing in the cage». I don’t believe that for a second.
Next, we have had our 2 labrador retrievers in there for several different issues including xrays and a complicated surgery on my older lab (2 pound tumor removed!) They are consistent, and always extremely caring as well as TRUSTWORTHY. I always feel like «family» when I go in to see them, and they treat my pets as if they were their own. Doesn’t everyone want a place like that when their furry baby is sick?
Try Vista Vet. I PROMISE you will not be disappointed. The best is the best, and when you know it you KNOW it! LOL
Thanks for reading!

Dr. Bath and staff… I can’t say enough good things… HONEST, CARING, KNOWLEGEABLE, FRIENDLY, CLEAN… that’s just the beginning…
My dog loves to run around in our yard off her leash… we are new dog owners and did not realize the risk. She ate snail bait and was found a few hours later not being able to breathe and having seizures. We called Dr. Bath who was closing shop but assured us that she would wait for us to bring in our dog. From the moment we set foot in the clinic, I knew we were in the right place. The staff promptly led our dog in the treatment room and Dr. bath quickly took over. I was outwardly upset and could not contain my tears. They not only treated the dog skillfully, but, comforted me and my family with empathetic glances and kind words.
My dog, under the care of Dr. Bath, survived the ordeal and is happy and healthy once again (she is no longer allowed to run freely outside without supervision!)…
I have been to other vetsand the first thing they discuss is the cost of treatment. The primary job of the staff at these places is to take your money and make appointments. The biggest thing that I don’t like at these other vets is that they take your pet from you and treat in a back room while you are in the waiting room. Dr. Bath allowed us to be there while she treated our dog.
I highly recommend this clinic. I personally will never go anywhere else.
Thank you Dr. Bath!

I highly recommend Dr. Bath and her staff. They are all about the animals and their well being. Your animal will get great care with professional service. Dr. Bath was very caring and supportive when my dog was ran over by a car. Dr. Bath and her staff took great tender, love and care with my little aussie and resolved my little aussie medical issues. Thank you Dr. Bass and to all your staff for making my little aussie Levi walk and run again so she could be back to her normal self.

So many different services here, immaculate inside, friendly, very calming Dr Bath, very professional and kind. Stop in with it without it pet to get a feel for this vet, extremely, pleasantly surprised at the total care of my «skipper». Love the place, the Seaaand the receptionist, friendly, you could tell an loves h err job

This is the best veterinary hospital I have been too. I have never had a doctor or staff dedicate so much time taking care of of my pets. They truly went beyond expectations in caring for my cat. Thank you so much.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Dr Bath for saving the life of our much loved cat. She was both professional and kind. She explained every treatment and fee. We all felt well taken care of.
Her assistant Chrisy was truly amazing, too. Always friendly and helpful and the best of caretakers.
I can not recommend this veterinary business any more highly. Our experience was truly outstanding.

Dr. Bath was amazing! In one visit Dr. Bath diagnosed a long term issue that our dog had. in one appointment. She prescribed the appropriate meds and our Dog is completely out of discomfort. We had been going to another vet for a while trying to help our Black Lab with a skin issue that made her miserable. We spent lots of $$ with no real results. She spent lots of time with us and was EXCELLENT! I highly recommend Her!!!
