I brought my 1 year old puppy in because she had a lump on her leg. First they told me they would do a biopsy. The service actually provided was a FNA (Fine Need Aspiration) - despite telling us they were doing a biopsy. I paid $190 for a FNA, which is really high compared to other vet clinics, but I trusted Market Street, so I just paid it.
We waited 4 days for our results, and had to call in numerous times to even get an update. Every time I called in I was told a different story.. the results weren't in yet, or they were but the vet was busy. No one seemed like they knew what was going on. Finally the vet called back and the only thing she could tell us was the test was inconclusive due to an inadequate sample. We paid $190 for a test that can't even provide a "yes" or a "no". We were told we would have to pay to have it done again, or pay to have it removed (which would be significantly more in cost).
Market Street Vet has been our go-to vet clinic for the past 4 years. We've taken our 3 dogs here for everything from routine physicals, vaccines, illnesses, and first exam for our new kitten. Market Street front desk, doctor's and staff are always kind, prompt and treat our pets with great care. The front desk is always helpful and even preps our insurance forms and sends for us when requested- such a big help! When we brought our sweet 15 year old Chow Chow here on his final day the doctors were kind and let us spend as much time with him as we liked. We were thankful he was in such good hands and went peacefully. When a new vet clinic opened up a couple of blocks from our house that we thought would be more convenient we started going there but went right back to Market Street once we realized that their service and care couldn't be beat. We appreciate the high quality care our babies get here and we've never felt they've tried to over charge or force additional treatment or meds. Highly recommend!
So basically, we paid $190 for a service - got NO results due to an inadequate sample, and were told we would have to pay it again if we wanted any answers. (And that wasn't even a guarantee).
I can't say enough how impressed I was with this vet! I was new to San Diego on a travel nursing assignment, and they were extremely kind and welcoming. They saw my two pups fast and had very fair pricing for their services. My phone died while I was there and they even printed me out directions on how to get back to Del Mar. Thank you for such an awesome experience VCA! It's hard finding a vet that compares!
I have never been treated so poor ever. From day one, I knew Market Street was a more expensive vet, but I didn't mind because I love my dogs, and I trusted that Market Street was a knowledgeable facility. But to spend $190 for "we don't know" and be told the only option is to just pay them more?!?! It's ridiculous. So now we are looking up new vets and will have to pay to start the process all over somewhere else.
Dr Long was really thorough and thoughtful when examining our Dachshund. Highly recommend!
I have nothing but great things to say about this clinic, its veterinarians, and its support staff. Dr. Dorian helped my pet and I in the most honest, professional way. My pet underwent surgery with them, and they did an exceptional job. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone who has a pet in need of veterinary care. Their prices were affordable and payment plans were also offered.
If I could give Market Street Vet ZERO stars, I would. I've taken both of my dogs to Market Street for the past 3 years... I have spent thousands in vet visits, appointments, medication... only to be treated like dirt.
