The doctor came in and immediately sat on the floor to ensure our cats felt comfortable around him. You can really tell he loves his job based not only on his ability to connect with animals, but he vast knowledge in his field. Definitely coming back here for all my vet needs.

Great experience with my dog’s care at this hospital. Staff are always so helpful and professional. I called today needing some help with my dog and Johanna was very helpful and patient. I highly recommend this veterinary hospital.

My dog hates going to the vet. He is an absolute jerk anytime we go to the vet. The San Carlos staff where absolutely wonderful and did everything they could to make him comfortable. Treats, kind words, and support towels all to make him feel comfy. Thank you San Carlos!

Unfortunately, I must share my disappointing experience with San Carlos Animal Hospital, specifically Dr. Acosta. Scheduling the initial visit took two weeks, only to receive a call two days prior, informing me that the doctor wouldn't be available. During the visit, Dr. Acosta alarmed me with negative prognoses, mentioning the possibility of cancer. Despite agreeing to additional studies, communication was disorderly and unclear. While he mentioned more tests over the phone, he never provided a price, and the scheduled studies were the next day.
After the procedure, we agreed that Dr. Acosta would call me with additional results, but I never received the call. Through email, he informed me that he was going camping for a week and would be unreachable. Subsequently, the results turned out to be inconclusive, leaving me alarmed and unsure of what to do. This lack of communication and veterinary service is disappointing. It seems their focus is not on the well-being of our dogs but on conducting studies, inculcating fear with alarming diagnoses, and then disappearing.
My recommendation is to find another vet. Despite initial positive reviews, my experience was a total waste of time and money. I am once again in search of a veterinarian who truly has a vocation, a challenging endeavor in recent times. :(

Many thanks to Dr. Acosta and staff who have lovingly taken care of Zeus over the last 9 years. Zeus loves going to the vet because of Dr. Acosta's dog whisperer ways! I also wanted to give a shout out to the team during this time (COVID-19) for quickly implementing curbside services that are quick, easy and efficient! Thank you!! We can't recommend Dr. Acosta and the San Carlos Animal Hospital team enough!
