Dr. Hamilton and her staff are the best. They truly love all of the animals and provide the best care. They love on all the animals and treat them as though they were their own. They provide options and listen to all of your concerns. I have had experiences with other vets who were too eager to give up on sick animals. Dr. Hamilton goes the extra mile. She does not offer miracles but many options, focusing on quality of life and always hope. My dog is a true testiment to that care. I will never take my animals anywhere else.
Great Vets: Love... Love.... Love I have a Bengal cat(My other Kid) I adopted with a high Grade Heart Mumur they researched his condition and Dr. Hamilton called back my voicemail left all the information;(She sounded like a very intelligent Women) made me feel at ease. I brought him in for an exam and Dr. Lee placed him on a medication for his mumur and antibiotics from something he caught at a Low Cost Neuter Joint .(Less then $100.00 for everything) He is doing very well and is putting on weight and very active. They did not try to nickle and dime me for testing like others wanted to have done and it was very affordable....(They also refilled his Heart Medication without demanding I come in to spend more money) Called many places they just didn t seem comfortable with his condition to give me information and they were high priced (wanted to do the very high cost of testing) Love that they are open on Saturdays. The place is very clean,I don t worry about my pet getting sick

I brought my dog in because I thought they were affordable but it ended up costing 20% more than my old vet. They did blood work on my dog and told me that they would call me with results the next day. I waited 2 days and never heard anything. I called and left a message with a guy who answered the phone and said the doctor would call me back at the end of the day. I waited 2 more days and still nothing. My dog ended up getting worse. I called agagin and spoke to the same guy and told him how I have been waiting for the doctor to call me back and how my dog was getting worse. Again no word from the doctor so I asked to speak to the office manager. He told me that she was out of the office and that he would have her call me. No reply, not even from the manager. It's as if once they have your $$ they can care less about you. Needless to say I had to take my pet elsewhere and was given some answers to my pets condition. Unfortunately she passed away due to delayed treatment. Bad place!!!

This is the same doctor that set a dog on fire at another facility!!!

My experience at Affordable Pet Hospital was a nightmare to start off I waited almost an hour before being seen and that was with an appointment. The doctor spoke in complex medical terminology it was as if she wasn't speaking english when I asked her to repeat what she had said in simpler terms she looked at me as if I was a complete moron. Then in a very condescending manner she reiterated my dogs condition. I was completely humiliated. It turns out the doctor did not have the expertise to help my dog anyway and was referred out to another facility. Yet that visit cost me a couple hundred dollars for some generic medications I could have gotten else where for a 1/3 the price.

Not any cheaper than any other place (if not more expensive). Medication prices seem particularly high. I think the management here writes their own reviews online. Notice that almost all of the positive reviews were written on one day, back to back??..

Not any cheaper than any other vet. Also, I asked about using Benadryl for my dogs and they prescribed Chlorpheniramine. $18 for 14 pills. After seeing it worked, I decided not to spend another $70ish to have the dogs checked out again and checked a pet med website. 100 pills for $7. And it was over the counter. I understand having a mark up on things in stock, but that was just excessive. I will not be going back to them as I don't trust their pricing. Cheap clothing in the lobby, and that is what gave them 1 star.

This place is a gem. Got tired of waiting at my regular vet. They worked me in right away. Dr. Hamilton apologized about the wait.... it was fifteen minutes. Then it was affordable too!

This hospital is awesome. when you walk through the door the receptionists behind the counter are so happy to see you. The whole hospital is just a joy to be in it is painted so beautifully you feel like your at Disneyland when you are there. Dr Hamilton is so smart and loves all of her patients she is such a blessing to have around. We have had several vets in our lifetime and hands down Dr Hamilton is THE best.

Affordable...riiiiiight! We were quoted a RIDICULOUS about of money for x rays for my dog. We googled and called around to other vets. Found an amazing new vet (that's not afraid of dogs) that is charging us $400 less. Yes....$400!

This is the BEST place to take your pet to! They are so caring and genuinely love all animals that come through their door. The doctor, Dr Hamilton is so knowledgable and explains everything so you feel you understand what a procedure entails and is a great artist she even draws pictures to explain. On the way out you can even visit their store Paw Mart" to pick up supplies or a toy. I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone I know. The prices are VERY reasonable too!!
