Everyone at Mid-Pen has been so wonderful for our two cats and dog. While the whole team has been very kind and helpful, Dr. Santiago continually goes above and beyond to help with some health issues one of our cats and our dog experienced. She always takes a ton of time to explain what's happening and her perspective for what's best for our pets, and is truly so kind to both our animals and us. She's called us on her days off several times to ensure we get updates immediately, and we couldn't be more grateful to her for her wonderful care.

Fantastic vet, but very rude and unresponsive front desk. No one takes accountability to ensure pets are picked up and returned to owner in a timely manner. Apparently they have plenty of customers and don't need to fix what is broken.

The staff at mid-pen are incredibly attentive, professional and caring at a time when you're generally creative when you have to take your fur-baby in for something wrong. Incredibly busy, appointments are mandatory however if you have something urgent they will take you in and have you return at the end of the day. The staff take the time to help you understand the issues and detail out the available options, providing professional advice on which direction to go. Our go-to vet.

My experience at Mid-Peninsula has been phenomenal. When I adopted my dog during the pandemic I was having a difficult time finding a Vet, but from my first encounter with the staff here it has been painless, seamless and a huge relief to know my little guy is in good hands. Dr. Megdal has been nothing but an angel and has treated my pup like her very own. Not once I have questioned the her recommendations as I know she know whats best for him. If you want to have top quality care for your animals you cant go wrong with this hospital and I could not recommend Dr. Megdal highly enough.
