Community Veterinary Clinic - Turlock (CA)

Amy Trost Considering what we women go here for, which might not be something we look forward too, my experience was not bad at all. I have been here twice within 2 weeks and both times everyone who worked here that I dealt with were helpful and friendly. The women who performed the different tests were very gentle, explained things so I understood and answered my questions. My first, regular, appointment I was there about 30 minutes. My second appointment I was there about an hour. The only thing I didnt like was at my second appointment I wanted my husband to come in and wait in the waiting room for me because I was getting test results telling me if I had cancer or not. Thank God the tests were negative! I dont know what I would have done if they told me I tested positive for cancer and then I had to walk by all the people, through the waiting room, hall, elevator, lobby, entry and parking lot all by myself, especially being one who suffers with anxiety.

Sandra Pickett I have been seen by them for 18 years. All three of my pregnancy been with them. My husband see them as well. Great place and wonderful staff.

Lisa Marie Great service as always, even when I’ve had a sick or injured pet, or end of life care. They always do their best to squeeze me in on the same day if needed! I’ve been a loyal customer since 1987! I’ve never felt pressured to go to the extreme with treatments, they are very sensible yet caring . Highly recommend!

Tina Spurlock I have been a patient of Dr. McMillian for almost a year. Since becoming his patient, I have lowered my cholesterol by 30 points and lost almost 20 lbs. Dr.McMillan is a wonderfully caring doctor and his staff is amazing! Brenda and Natalie are kind, caring, and exceptional at their jobs! I highly recommend you give Dr. McMillan a call if you are interested in improving your overall health.

Richard Kline Dr. Lee did cataract procedures on both my eyes for me recently and they turned out awesome! The office staff was pleasant and helpful and wait times were reasonable. Dr. Lee didnt talk much but he did a great job on my eyes!

Rach Puentes Wanted to give 1 star because Dr Lewis is terrible. 2 stars because I really enjoyed Dr Dehkordi. I was having a miscarriage in my 9th week and I was told to come in immediately. I was brought into the room where I was met by Dr Lewis. He was so rude and told me to open up as he assisted with pulling out the tissue. That was excruciating pain with no medication. He stopped because I was moaning in pain and I would have scared the other patients. He tapped me on the legs as I was free to go and the miscarriage would take so many days with bleeding afterwards. My mom, who was in the room said that was the worst OB she has ever witnessed. As soon as I came out of the room the staff was so empathetic and I felt like I was in a twilight zone. The front staff and billing was so kind and patient, Dr Dehkordi was great, she was my regular provider and I always felt safe with her. Please, do not see Dr Lewis. He is so dry, lacks compassion and just does a “job”

Cody Manning This vet office saved us from having a horrible day after rescuing a kitten. We saved a kitten from being run over in the middle of the road, eyes closed shut from an upper respiratory infection. We first went to Monte Vista emergency vet. They were unfortunately closed because of the Holiday weekend. Called and asked if they humanely take cats in and said they could so we went to the emergency Vet off Taylor. After waiting around for about 4 hours they told me they could not euthanize the cat. My wife and I were pissed we waited 4 hours because we wanted to humanely surrender a kitten we wanted to save and not kill! The vets office inside of this petco has individuals that truly care for animals. Even without an appointment they were able to squeeze us in to get an emergency visit, clean the kitten, and provide medication. It was very heartwarming to know that there are amazing people working there. I didn’t catch the receptionists name but I would like to thank her for checking with the vet and getting us in. Thank you as well to Jessica the vet tech, and the vet whose name escapes me. You all are amazing people.

Buster G I am here with my mother in the Telemetry Rooms. Charge nurse is Brenda and the room nurse is Natalie. Edited portion: The night nurse on duty Patricia of Tuesday march 14 2023 7pm to 7am is another perfect example of rude behavior towards my mother. Can’t wait to meet her!! The assisting nurse is Sonia who has been very nice and attentive to my mothers needs. The nursing staff I think are on a 12 hour shift then possibly a 3 or 4 day work week. And then I’m sure there’s mandatory overtime because at times I think they are understaffed. So that being said I can understand why nurses may forget or simply just don’t have time to attend to every patient’s requests. However I feel that communication is the key. Honest communication and not empty promises. And then that being said. My mother’s RN is Natalie today, the second day I’ve seen her work with my mom. One notable quality I’ve seen is that Natalie is unable to smile. Not once has this girl shown any type of cheerfulness in her job. Even her voice is very monotone. But that just may be the place she’s in her life’s struggle. I say struggle because she doesn’t seem very happy while doing her job. But that is no reason for letting her patients suffer for her inequities. But again I don’t know her. I am only going by example through her services to my mother. Perhaps others are receiving excellent nursing care from her. And that being said I noticed other nurses who show the same type of attitude. As if the patients are bothering them or impeding on their day making it difficult for them to do their job. This type of job I feel requires a sense of humanity and a humbleness that will allow them to have feelings for the patients who are suffering in pain or discomfort. My mother did not want to be here. She did not make reservations and book a room for vacation at the Emmanuel Medical Center. This is where the ambulance brought her during a heart attack. We are grateful to the paramedics for saving her life. The next step is to get her back home. The hospital is working on this but it takes time. Meanwhile I can only be here at my mothers side to ensure her comfort while she’s here. So that being said if you have a family or loved one that has to be at this hospital be vigilant and watch and ask about everything be done. Medications and treatments all have to be scrutinized with the staff so that the correct care is given to the correct patient.

Lana ILoveAmerica All of the Drs and Nurses were FANTASTIC yesterday, they were VERY NICE AND HELPFUL!! Ive had a few surgeries there and they have always treated me VERY WELL!!! Thank you all for being understanding while I was in so much pain!!!

Rolln J I had an outpatient surgery here and it and everything went smooth and the staff was amazing. I have had over a dozen surgeries over the years and this place is top notch. From the start the staff was very helpful and supportive and the cohesion I saw within this group was amazing. They were all very attentive and super thorough with everything from beginning to end. Seemed like a great working environment in a very tough profession. I had to travel over an hour for my procedure and it was well worth it! Thank you to everyone at the outpatient center!
