When my Doodle Buddy had a foxtail lodged in his ear, Dr. Link was incredibly kind and compassionate. She even stayed beyond her scheduled shift to sedate him and remove the foxtail, so that he would not have to wait too long.

North peninsula vet emergency clinic was pretty amazing with our 11 month old kitty. Lorenzo was deathly ill due to urinary crystals (we brought him in at 4:30 am) and they truly showed great care, plus worked with me to keep the costs reasonable. They put the well being of Lorenzo first and I truly am thankful for this. The vets were both outstanding and very caring. Thank you.
