Animal Hospitals near Calistoga

“An excellent Veterinarian. We went there on recommendation from a friend for a surgical consult, even though we live in Santa Rosa.From the time you pull into the parking lot to a “home” warm layout to the staff that made us feel comfortable with our KonaGirl.The surgeon was extremely thorough in his review of Kona and the steps that we BOTH must take to be successful in this under taking.Enough said for now, but we have selected them to do her surgery and feel like we are in good hands.“

“Dr. Crippen has been my Vet now for years. Let me start by saying I first learned of her from a Cardiologist friend who said she was the best Vet he ever found. I was having cat issues that multiple vets couldn't identify; I drove from SF to Santa Rosa for the appointment with her for my cat. I found her incredibly easy to talk to & interested in all my input. Within days she had a diagnosis and presented me with options. In my future I would have dogs in fact many not all at once of course but, a lot of pairs.To be exact 3 Boxers, 4 Boston Terriers, 1 Golden Retriever & Norwegian Elkhound. I used to always moan about the yearly lab work thinking is it really that important my animals seem fine. I recall her specifically saying labs can reveal things before they show up. This time it happened she discovered my dog had come in contact with rat poison and was barreling towards renal failure, There's no doubt in my mind she saved my dog with that discovery; It was touch and go for 3 days but that early intervention saved my Boxers life that's a fact.Over the years I've had dogs who required specialists and not only was she vital in helping me access the correct specialist But, she served as my council & interrupter for me regarding suggested treatment by a specialist and the reasons for doing so. Specialist don't always spend the time explaining. As all pet owners know there comes the end of life decisions to be made Dr. Crippen has never failed me or my pets with the utmost care & concern for quality of life decisions.I could go on and on with examples of her, not the least of how current she stays on most recent medical options & studies available for my pets. I know I'm a more educated pet owner because of the way she practices vet care which is to educate the owner as she examines.She will never brag about her accomplishment but they are significant; Every specialists I've ever seen for my pets be it a Orthopedic, Internist, Neurologist, Ophthalmologist or Oncologist when I say who refereed me sings her praises.Her staff rarely turns over and for me Lakeside Pet Hospital is the absolute best!“
