My companion of 18 years was carried across the bridge on 8/8/2024 at 18 Dr VanWorth, Dr Kovac, and Dr Leslie had done their best in making clinical assessments on Coco at the time but for nearly 3 years in Heart disease MMVD stage B2 with severe regurgitation, Coco was always on borrowed time. On her last day X-rays showed her entire cavity filled with fluid and that was time. Coco refused to go down without a fight - her will to be loved and to live was strong but her ailing condition was inevitable Thanks for your care and the many times you work so hard to support slotting me in, even answering my calls before the office day started Bless all of you and families
Our fur baby Daisy has a disc issue and everybody involved has been amazing and extremely helpful. Christine at the front desk is a total sweetheart and got us right in for our appointment! (Even after us being late due to traffic on the 5) Daisy's vet Dr. Leslie and vet tech Mikaela have been a joy to work with, they are very obviously dog lovers and have done everything they can to help us get Daisy back to 100%. We are thankful for you all and will certainly be coming back for any of our veterinary needs!
I wanted to write this review as I have a developed deep appreciation for "The Drake Center" Encinitas. I've been going to them for over 8 years now. They've seen me through really hard times and the care they have provided to me and all my dogs means a lot. I now think of them as family. The front office is full of people who will go above and beyond to help. They have a range of highly specialized Doctors. Whatever the unique situation is that you're facing there will be someone in the office with deep knowledge and an ability to help. My dogs are my family, and we all want the best possible care for our loved ones. There is no one I trust more with my dogs health than The Drake Center.
