We have been loyal patients to San Marcos Vet Clinic for many years, and I can confidently say they treat our pets as if they were their own. Dr. Ichord is a true treasure in this world. His job is incredibly challenging, especially when our beloved pets are in need, yet he handles it with remarkable grace. Throughout the years, we've had several pets, and I always turn to him for guidance during tough decisions. He considers their health, quality of life, our family's well-being, and even the financial implications involved. He truly understands that our pets are just as much a part of our family as the humans.
The front office staff may be busy, but they always take a moment to acknowledge you and your pet. They genuinely try to get to know you if you give them the chance.
Thank you, San Marcos Vet, for the love and compassion you've shown our family throughout the years.

San Marcos Veterinary Clinic staff and Veterinarians are so dedicated and caring. It’s also affordable compared to others. I’ve brought my pets there for years and recommended it to my friends and family. My friends recently brought their dog for a surgery and left super happy.
My Labrador Nando just got neutered two days ago and once again they exceeded my expectations from the start. The surgery went very well, got a call from Dr. Ichord right after the surgery letting me know how it went and of course they followed up the next morning to check on how he was doing.
The receptionists are very nice and helpful with all my questions. Their vet techs are amazing, knowledgeable and always sweet with my dogs.
Dr. Ichord is always so happy to see my dogs. He’s an excellent doctor and very informative during the exams you can tell he loves animals so much.
Also, once a month he has these low cost vaccination clinics. That shows his dedication to animals and support to owners who can’t afford expensive vaccines.

Dr. Smollen walked into the lobby because she overheard my distress about her finding a mast cell tumor on my little Bailey. She offered to do a complete tumor removal right then, no appointment! The lab confirmed that Dr. Smollen had removed the cancer with clean biopsy borders! Bailey also had her 14 day stitches removed and it suture was very clean and smooth! I’m absolutely thrilled with what they’ve done for Bailey and me:)

Dr. Ichord is an excellent vet. He has performed a tumor removal from the pad of our dog's foot, and he removed a lipoma on the spine about two years ago. He is an intelligent, down-to-earth, straight forward person, which we greatly appreciate. We trust him and his staff with our two precious dogs. We have only good things to say about San Marcos Vet Clinic and Dr. Ichord.

I reluctantly post my review as I don’t want the word to get out “too much” in order to receive future services. ;)
In all seriousness though… Dr. Ichord and his team have been a source of comforting care, dependability and practical service throughout many years helping our fur-Peibies (Sharpei).
They have been able to accommodate with one of the most challenging breeds. We are so grateful for their open-mindedness to assist with their specific needs.
Our Peibies and us thank you!
