1 Stars: Tritt Sarah L Dvm - Friars Road Pet Hospital is now Brian Peterson DVM (by Chris D.)

What do you think about Tritt Sarah L Dvm - Friars Road Pet Hospital? Sarah Tritt isn't there Brian Peterson DVM is the vet.
Took my puppy in to get fixed and he came back broken. For 4 days he was twitching and jerking and going crazy clearly uncomfortable. He had more than 7 razor burns from when he was shaved. I have had pets my whole life and I always get them fixed I've never seen anything like this. Never even met the doctor and when I called to tell them of the problem the receptionist told me the Dr. said to put neosporin on it which he immediately licked off. No follow up call to see how he was and no follow up visit. Took him to an emergency clinic on Sunday and without saying it was inferred that they wouldn't recommend this vet. The low cost low quality spay and neutering that costs you over $100.00 and in my case allot of lost sleep and agonizing sadness to see my puppy suffering so much is no bargain. I expected some discomfort but this is way beyond the scope.

2 Stars: Spaying is $400???? (by Christine J.)

So, I got a referral from SNAP (spay and neuter action program) to bring in my cat to get spayed for $50. My husband calls me to tell me its going to be $400. So I talk to the bimbo at the desk and she tells me they have to do a freaking blood test, stool test, nail trimming, blah blah blah. So finally I tell her that we are only paying for the spaying since I have a healthy kitten and she doesn't need any bells and whistles. My friend who works for SNAP said they do hundreds of spays a day on their bus without conducting a blood test or any of these other things. I agree with the other reviewer that FRPH is there to make a shitload of money and make you feel uncomfortable. I felt like I was being scammed and taken advantage of.

1 Stars: Worst Vet EVER !!! (by John H.)

John H. — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 11:07:00 GMT

Took our cat in for a routine spaying, and the had the worst experience EVER. We chose this vet because it was closest to our house. Don't make this mistake! The "doctor" seemed rushed and uncaring, the staff was basically sleep-walking through their duties and worst of all our cat still suffers from a large distended area where the "surgery" was done. The "doctor" responded to our concerns by mocking us and basically saying that "everything is fine...I know what I'm doing, and you don't". After a week, the problem was not resolving itself and the grand finale was more smug answers, followed by not returning our calls or picking up the phone. NEVER AGAIN!! If I don't feel 100% comfortable upon arrival, I just get up and leave.

5 Stars: No Complaints From This Happy Customer (by Tariel G.)

I researched several vets before I made the final decision that Friars Road Pet Hospital was the best choice for my dog. I was impressed from our first visit on and have had no complaints since then. They made my dog, Shiloh, feel loved and adored. They are very reasonable in cost and will make whatever accomodations they have to if the need is of an urgent matter. I appreciate that they provide an estimate of what the costs will be before they proceed with any tests, treatments, medications, etc. My whole outlook is that if you are not okay with them being forth-coming with information, then go somewhere else for a second opinion. As far as the office staff is concerned, they are professional, friendly and courteous. I don't know what people's expecatations are when taking your pet to a vet, but I can say that they are not going to roll out the red carpet and have a parade in your honor just because you walk through their door!!!

My family has been taking our dog and cats here for as long as I can remember. I love the different entrances for dogs and cats. The lobby is a great place for the animals to interact with others, including the office cat. Receptionists, techs and vets have always been helpful and very caring. They even send out condolence cards when your pet passes away. A top-notch vet.

5 Stars: Best care ever (by penny l.)

penny l. — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I can highly recommend this vet. They have taken care of my pets for years, and I have never had any bad experiences. My dog Max and my cat Blue are "senior" pets, and thanks to Dr. Peterson's excellent care they are both still healthy and happy!! I find the staff to be very caring and knowledgeable, and I always feel welcome. If you want the best care for your animals, you should go to this vet!!

1 Stars: Rude Bunch (by Pam L.)

This is a strange crew at Friar's Rd Vet. I felt as if they didn't care if I brought my animals to their hospital or not, but, since I did, they would tolerate me. They were not warm toward my pets like many animal hospitals tend to be. I would suggest going some place else. There are numerous vets around San Diego.

1 Stars: Stay away (by Carolyn S.)

They misdiagnosed my cat saying nothing was wrong with her after she lost 3 lbs, had chronic diarrhea & was vomitting daily. They said it was just "old age"--Again do not take your pet here.

1 Stars: Do NOT take your pet here (by N M.)

N M. — Sat, 01 Jul 2006 11:08:00 GMT

The staff are rude, unprofessional, and fail to review your pet's treatment adequately or discuss treatment options/alternatives with you. They (temporarily) paralyzed our dog and caused him a lot of pain from what should have been a simple procedure. After doing some of my own research, I found out that there were other treatments available that would have been better.

5 Stars: The Perfect Place To Take Sick Little Fido (by Sarah H.)

Sarah H. — Mon, 29 Aug 2005 16:00:00 GMT

I would hope that your pet never needs to visit a pet hospital or a clinic other then for routine check-ups or shots, but should your pet ever get sick, whether its an illness, flea or tick problem, or a skin disorder, the Friars Road Pet Hospital is the place to take your pet. Their caring staff is well trained to handle difficult pets, including un-trained pets who dont exactly behave in a controlled manner in their facility. The prices are very reasonable compared to other businesses of this type, and you can trust that your pet is receiving the best quality of care in San Diego County.
