Update: brought my pup here again for urgent care after several years. The post-pandemic experience is even better- we were checked in within 15 minutes and the vet tech and doctor came to take a look at my dog soon after. I got the prescriptions from the pharmacy and was on my way an hour after I reached. The vet was very knowledgeable and all the staff were helpful. It wasnt too expensive either as they didnt do any unnecessary procedures. Its a little far from my house (~1 hour to reach there) but definitely worth it.

Adobe demonstrates a profound commitment to the well-being of your beloved pets, boasting a hospital fully equipped to deliver unparalleled care. Remarkably, the facility mirrors the sophistication of a human hospital's emergency room. When my aging cat faced a critical moment recently, Adobe's team swiftly admitted her to the ER, extending compassionate support at no cost to ensure her comfort. They graciously accommodated my presence, providing exemplary care not only for my feline companion but also for me during a time of utmost need.

My cats needs are met. I couldnt say much in the past about standard check ups and care but due to a recent emergency, I can say it was managed due diligently in terms of criticality and timing. My concerns were addressed to my expectations. Thank you!

The veterinarians at this establishment are incredibly friendly, and a significant number of them employ fear-free methods in pet healthcare. Given that my dog tends to react strongly in certain situations, I am particularly grateful for their patience, even when it inconveniences them. Their approach not only ensures my dog's comfort but also educates me on advocating for her and ensuring she has the most positive experience, even in stressful circumstances.

The staff here is great, but they have become so busy that new clients are not welcome (not an issue for me, but for anyone new...). Sadly, they have become more difficult to deal with and don't like to work with 3rd parties, such as external pharmacies, making more work and wasted time for their clients that don't purchase pharmacy items directly from them. Hope they realize the inconvenience this is for customers and their families.

Very disappointed in Adobe when I called last week for an appointment. We've been a customer there for over 20 years but because we haven't been recently (we have a healthy indoor cat), the woman on the phone said we are no longer considered a customer and added that they are not accepting new customers so there is no way for us to get an appointment for a wellness check. I have to point out that our vet (or "prior" vet I should say), Dr Nancy Clifton, is GREAT, but what poor customer service when you are struck off the customer list and to be told we don't want you back. Oh well, I guess they don't need the clientele or the money! We've found a fabulous "welcoming" new vet, so I guess there is a silver lining in everything!

Adobe is literally the worst vet in the Bay Area. They have awful customer service and have commonly guilted me for my decisions for my pet. They have zero empathy for your pets and are purely worried about their compensation. They take hours to do routine blood work or check ups. After so many awful experiences with Adobe (including one which cost my pet its life), I cannot continue seeing vets there.
