About Sylvan Veterinary Hospital

Sylvan Veterinary Hospital has been a trusted provider of veterinary care in the community since 1972. Founded by Dr. Ken "Doc" Moody as a mixed animal practice, the hospital has grown to become one of the premier veterinary facilities in Stanislaus County. In 1999, Dr. Kipp Magnussen took over, and the hospital continued to expand its reputation for excellence. In 2006, the hospital moved to a new, modern facility, with Dr. Tiffany Hart and Ms. Vicky Shackelford joining Dr. Magnussen to build one of the finest veterinary hospitals in the area.

The veterinarians and technicians at Sylvan Veterinary Hospital are highly knowledgeable and understanding of pet owners' needs. They work closely with clients to ensure the best care for their pets, explaining options and helping them make informed decisions. The staff is known for their caring, compassionate, and attentive approach, even for the most nervous or difficult patients. Clients appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, noting that it is easy to get an appointment and that they even check in to see how pets are doing after visits.

Dr. Hart is recognized as an excellent veterinarian who takes the time to make pets feel comfortable, especially those that are more challenging to handle. Clients have expressed gratitude for the staff's dedication, with many willing to pay higher prices for the quality care provided. Sylvan Veterinary Hospital is a trusted partner for pet owners in the community, delivering state-of-the-art services and a strong commitment to excellence in veterinary care.

We have been going to Sylvan Veterinary Hospital for 24 years. I can’t say enough about the Vets, technicians and staff. Everyone is courteous and friendly. The Doctors take the time thoroughly listen to our pet’s needs and concerns. We have a small chihuahua mix, and everyone treats her extra special when she is there. I highly recommend Sylvan Veterinary Hospital for all your pets needs.

Perfect balance of friendliness, direct honesty, comfort, and options that fit my budget. Went above and beyond to ensure me that Rohkie would be taken care of, the possible risks (even those were delivered with caring tone), and the communication; initial, during, and afterwards is unmatched. I don’t think people understand how much that matters, the constant updates/status on my fur-son were very much appreciated. Even after the visit, they called to check in on him since my budget didn’t allow me to leave him at another vet for recovery, they were on top of it. I felt I was guided through his aftercare. Also office is pretty tidy too and place looks very organized.… read full review
