Clark James H DVM: James H Clark, DVM

First impressions can be VERY deceiving. I scheduled a pre-purchase exam with Dr. Clark in 2010 based on a lackluster recommendation by my regular veterinarian, as there are few equine vets in the Coachella Valley. At first, he was personable, knowledgeable, and prompt. I eventually purchased the mare he examined and discovered that any time I had a legitimate health concern about my mare or wanted to schedule an appointment, Dr. Clark would routinely pick up the phone personally on the initial call, promise to get back to me, and then nothing. I was subjected to countless unreturned phone calls, false promises regarding scheduling, and no-shows. When my mare suffered severe colic and I had to call another vet, he had the audacity to explain to me that there is such a thing as courtesy after I endured 2 years of his discourteous and unprofessional conduct. If he doesnt do ranch calls or take new clients, he should be forthcoming about it. Ultimately, his experience and medical expertise are irrelevant because his word means nothing!

Dr. Clark has been caring for animals - especially EQUINE for many years. He always returns your call and is ready to help at the drop of a hat. He recently cared for our cat and it gives us great peace of mind that we can depaend on his expertise and quick response to oue animals needs - Thanks Dr. Clark- blessings to you and your family.

I was gone the day my husband saw the just below the eye laceration on my mare Misty. So the next morning (8am) I called Dr Clark and left a message. He returned my call within the half hour and scheduled me to meet him at his facility later that afternoon. The laceration penetrated down to the bone and even though it was a day old, Dr Clark was able to close it. He and his staff were wonderful. They're very courteous and helpful.

Thank you Dr Clark, Deborah Traviss, Borrego Springs

My quarter horse Harley sand colicked on a Sunday afternoon. Unable to fine a vet any where but Dr. Clark called me back and made arrangements for me to bring him in the following morning. Even though Dr. Clark was out of town, he arranged for another vet to meet me at his facility to treat Harley. After a week there, he is back at home, good as new. Thank you Dr. Clark and especially Caroline.
