The staff is so lovely. Dr. Salpeter is wonderful. And the people at the front desk are so nice. The vet techs are great as well! Everyone is great! Everyone was so nice and friendly and gave my dog love and treats (which is what he appreciates the most)!

I brought my cat for a cardiology consult. Dr. Waterman took the time to ensure all my questions were answered. It really felt like her number one goal was making sure my cat stayed as healthy and happy as he possibly could.

Pet Emergency & Specialty Center did an outstanding job of taking of my dog’s injuries after running into a glass door he thought was open. They also handled a shaken dog parent - me with professionalism.
Cindy Moore
Excellent evaluation and good planning by the veterinarian who saw our dog. Her recommendations to seek emergency MRI and surgery were made with understanding and caring. She was absolutely correct in her assessment and the need for emergency surgery. She called to find and speak directly with the neurosurgeon. She made sure we had the next phase of treatment planned and arranged. Vet tech and veterinarian were excellent. Very much appreciated the candidness and encouragement of the veterinarian to follow through with the appropriate treatment. We were very appreciative of the expertise of the vet tech and veterinarian.

Meredith Obendorfer
Such empathetic staff, and I didn't have to wait too long. I also knew that Pecan (my cat) would be in great hands.

In August, my 13 year-old dog was diagnosed by my local veterinarian with adrenal gland cancer. I was beside myself for two weeks, trying to find treatment options and an oncologist for Ryley. I was finally referred to PETSCM and Dr. Kelly Zimmerman. I was able to see her immediately and with the help of their state of the art technology they determined that Ryley was a candidate for surgery. Dr. Sabrina Barry performed the surgery which totally excised the tumor and will allow my little dog to be with me for years to come. The beautiful facility, the skill of the doctors, and mostly the kindness and compassion of the staff at PESCM saved my dog’s life.

Compassionate care for dog and owner.

My dog became very ill in the middle of the night with diarrhea and vomiting. I was up all night with her and she was getting progressively sicker. I called the Pet Emergency and Specialty Center of Marin which is open 24 hours a day 365 days a year. She received highly skilled treatment and was able to come home in 2 days. She probably wouldn't have made it without the prompt care she received from PESCM. If you have ever lived in a place which does not have an emergency pet hospital available and your pet gets deathly ill or injured, you can truly appreciate how comforting it is to know there is a facility available if you ever need it. The hospital is new and definitely state of the art. The residents in this area are so lucky to have it available to us especially with the high number of pet owners here.

If you ever have a pet emergency, and we've had a few, this is the best facility you could ever hope for. The doctors, nurses and medical assistants are knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. The facility is immaculate, and the pricing is very fair. I highly recommend.
Kelly Patterson
Short and simple, you save my dogs life. Third vet and second hospital we were in and no one could figure out what was wrong with her until you guys. Every doctor we have spoken with and worked with has been truly amazing. Dr. Kaae- Thank you for saving a Peach and helping us learning how to best support her moving forward. You found the issue no one else could find.
