Miramonte Veterinary Hospital

We took our tortoise here for care for a wound on her neck. Care was probably going to be quite adequate but there was absolutely no communication with the veterinarian concerning the procedure, risks, benefits, alternatives. We asked, and they flatly refused to provide this. The very pleasant assistant tried to answer questions for us, but did not have an adequate knowledge base to answer them fully. We were disappointed. We accepted their offer of a refund of our deposit and went elsewhere. This type of behavior is below the standard of care, and to us, is a red flag. Shop wisely.

Have seen some reviews on staff friendliness and cost of care at the hospital and all I can say is: 1 Dr Taylor and his staff were upfront about cost, gave me quotes before agreeing to provide any additional services. Prices were fair, similar to other clinics I have been to 2 Were nice and explained exactly what they were doing I brought both dogs in for routine checkups, the doctor was thorough, and then I brought one dog back for skin allergies. The doctor explained what we needed to prescribe to help relieve the allergies and we did it. 2 weeks later, his skin is all cleared up and better. Will be going back for future care

We’ve been taking our Labrador Retriever rescue dogs to Dr. Taylor for over 20 years. He has always been kind to our dogs, he’s knowledgeable and caring and patiently explains what’s going on and our options for care. He and his staff are responsive and show great love of animals. We highly recommend Miramonte Veterinary Hospital.

Got reasonable care for my elderly, uncooperative Portuguese Water Dog. Doctor was correct to decline to do anything further once he diagnosed that she had terminal cancer. Diagnosis was spot on and we had to put her down a few weeks later. Far from inexpensive, but I suspect that most vets in this area charge similarly.

Highly recommended! As a physician myself, I have high expectations for the medical care of all my family members. I am delighted with the level of care that Dr. Taylor has given to our little dog. Dr. Taylor accurately and quickly diagnosed an unusual bone disease in my pup's hind leg. I got three other opinions before proceeding with the surgery that he recommended. Although the other vets did not all agree with Dr. Taylor's diagnosis, it turned out that he was right. I followed his recommendations and now my dog runs and plays as if nothing had ever happened. The whole team is very professional and compassionate.

I have been bringing my dogs to Dr. Taylor for 20 years. I really appreciate his professionalism and his willingness to explain everything to me. He is very good at indicating which tests are most important and which will be potentially helpful but won't necessarily change the treatment of the animal. I was surprised that one person said he didn't allow you choices because that isn't my experience at all. Also, he doesn't push unnecessary treatments but he lets you know about issues that might need treatment in the future. My dogs have had a variety of challenging medical issues; I have always felt they were in good hands under Dr. Taylor's care.

Dr. Taylor saved our cat's life. We took Chloe to an emergency pet hospital when she suddenly became extremely lethargic. There she received several blood transfusions for severe anemia. She eventually stabilized but would not eat. Unbeknownst to us, she had previously stopped eating due to the underlying illness that led up to her hospitalization. Being overweight, this caused her to develop hepatic lipidosis "fatty liver", which can be fatal if not aggressively treated. Dr. Taylor made an immediate diagnosis and ensured that she received the proper treatment. Thanks to his quick thinking, we still have our beloved Chloe. Dr. Taylor has also given us valuable guidance in treating our senior dog who suffers from arthritis. He recommended a combination of medications that enables Sabrina to have continued mobility as a nearly 14 year old Labrador Retriever. Dr. Taylor is very knowledgeable and highly experienced. You can trust him to provide outstanding medical care and always do what is best for your pet.

We’ve been clients of Miramonte Vet for over 15 years, and during that time Dr Taylor has treated my dogs and parrot. I credit Dr. Taylor with helping my first rescue dog live as healthy and pain-free a life as possible for the 14 years we had her. Now I’m happy to continue with my new rescued dobie. I’ve referred several friends and neighbors to Dr.Taylor, and they have told me how satisfied they are, as well.
