I am too busy to write reviews. But I was impressed yesterday 5/16/26 when we had
1st visit at SoMa Animal Hospital and My new twin Cockatails checked by Kelly Rockwell DVM.
Knowledgeble, patient, passionate and kind.
Office is clean with beautiful interior design and welcoming staff.
We booked an appointment for our cat Angel next week.
I recommend this Animal Hospital to all cats, dogs, and birds lovers.
We take our cat to Dr. Jayson Johnston and have had such a wonderful experience every time. He is incredibly patient and thorough, always taking the time to answer all of our questions and never making us feel rushed. You can tell he truly cares about both the pets and their parents.
The clinic is very clean, and the entire staff is absolutely amazing—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Thank you!
