This is the only place I truly trust my furbaby to get seen. Dr Stephanie has seen her since day one. I know that she always gets the best care possible and as a bonus its an affordable price. Great staff all around. I always recommend this Veterinary Clinic to everyone I come across that have furbabies.Thank you Dr. Stephanie and Stafffrom my Little Luna🌙Star⭐ and I

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍Love love love !!!!!!!!One of the only places I feel comfortable receiving care for my beloved dogs…. Cookie & Bubba…. Bubba had broke his dew claw and they were able to see him twice, staff is caring and professional. You can feel that they really love animals & care about your pet. They are common sense and affordable, they do not try to run up your bill to benefit them, they don’t need to. They have clients all over the state of CA and are constantly busy, if you don’t have patience then don’t come in being rude because they don’t deserve it. They are truly doing the best they can. People drive from very far to receive this level of care for their beloved pets. If the ladies at the front aren’t busy checking people in, they are constantly receiving phone calls, you can hear them be compassionate on the phone 📞 from concerned pet owners, scheduling appointments, getting people cancelled appointments to accommodate their pet sooner, the list goes on and on…. Truly a hidden gem 💎 that I feel blessed to know about. When we put our cat of 16 years down, they sent a card with personal messages from staff apologizing for our loss. (2021)

Unfortunately this place won’t be talking you soon, appointments are as 1 month away even if you’re client there.Everything else is sent to 24/7 vets that is super expensive. Your best bet is Cedar Vet in Fresno that gives appointments within the next week even if you’re not a client there.

We were referred to this place by Valley Animal Center in Fresno as a low-cost non-ER pet hospital in a time of need. It gave us hope, but when we called, the receptionist said to go somewhere in Fresno instead. After saying we were actually referred by another Fresno pet hospital, the receptionist interrupted saying doubtful doubtful doubtful doubtful which honestly blew my mind. I reiterated what we were told, to which the receptionist said I really doubt that then HUNG UP on us! They were unfortunately worse than non-helpful, adding to the headache with our cat in injury.AVOID AT ALL COST.

Excellent care for your pets & great prices, they are always crowded, staff are very very clear that wait times are long, they have a sign stating wait times are long (up to 2hrs) but absolutely worth the wait for our furry family members.

Absolutely exceptional service and fantastic vets. I wish I had come in sooner. Thank you South County Vet!!! After several recommendations about this vet, I brought my dog in for her check up. I had no appointment but the staff was very friendly and informative they had me sign in for a walk in visit and wait to be called in.After only a short wait a chart was made for my pet, then we proceed to be seen by the vet Dr. Stephanie was so courteous and answered all of my questions and treated my dog gently. I have found my new veterinarian we will be coming here for all future needs.

Brought my girls here to be spayed and also to fix a hernia. Everyone from the front office staff to Doctor Stephanie was on point! Very thorough and caring. All vets give you a high/low estimate. Everything ended up being on the low. Glad to see some good, honest people still around. Its a 38 minute drive from where Im at, but its worth it. I also enjoyed that theres a cat or two as well as a small dog wondering around. It makes the place a little more homely, Definitely would recommend. Thanks ladies! 😁👍

Terrible service from tech over the phone. Im already emotional from having to put my 15 year old yorkie down but she makes a comment about how long i waited to bring him in not knowing that ive been doing things to make him more comfortable on my own. I wouldnt take my worst enemy there. Terrible sevice!!

Was recommended to south county by family. I own a french bulldog, Who i was told may need some nose and soft palot work, to help with his breathing and future health. Was able to take him in and they determine he would definitely need the work . They were very informative and gave me the info needed to what and how it would be done. They took him in and explained about time but it would be done before end of day. I did a fallow up call bout noontime and was surprised that my buddy was ready to come home, a little down but still his happy self. With some instructions as far as med and home treatment/care we were on are way. So far his nose looks fine and he is doing well, Eating soft food and drinking water. also has done good taking his meds. Am extremely happy with the services and the care that the staff at south county took for my boy and giving me the information needed. Thanks again south county veterinarians.

I have 6 dogs with my oldest being 11. We have been going to Dr. Rodney Hatayama for quite some time. I come from the Fresno area and have no problem driving the 20 mins to Selma for the vet visit. He is thorough, knowledgeable and good with animals. Im a furmom who wants the best for her babies and South County Vet delivers in service, affordability and in compassion. Dr Rodney and his daughter Dr. Stephanie both serve lots of clients, so its always best to make an appointment if you can. Its a $30 visit fee and anything else you have done with accrue to the vet bill. If you cant make an appointment, you can definitely be seen as a walk-in but please except a 2-5 hour wait time. I definitely recommend this place if you want good vet care but still dont want to break your budget.

Weve been bringing our new puppy to Dr. Stephanie Hatayama since we got him. She is very knowledgeable and has answered all of our new pet parent questions! I appreciate her very much! Also, her staff are caring and professional. Im a client for life!

I took my 6-month-old French Bulldog to get spayed here. Making an appointment was easy. When arriving, the staff was friendly and helpful—making leaving my pup manageable. The incision healed well, and Im pleased to have taken my puppy here. The only issue is that it needs a bit of cleaning. Not a significant problem, but it would make this facility a five-star.

I took my dog in because he hurt his paw. I went in as a walk in. It was well worth the wait. They treated him and sent him home with medicine. He is doing much better.

South County Vet has consistently been our trusted go-to place to take our family pets for many years. Dr. Hatayama, Dr. Stephanie, Patti and their entire staff are truly amazing, and they all provide our dogs with exemplary compassionate care whether it is for routine visits or to help with pain or health management. I could not be more grateful for their hard work to keep our 16 year old dog, Charles, as comfortable and healthy as possible for the past 16 years and counting. They are the best, and I could not possibly recommend them more highly if you are in search of wonderful customer service and pet care.

If you want your dog dead this is the place to go. Our French had a c-section there almost bled out while we were there they took her back in kept her for another hour said she would be ok.8 weeks later she was still bleeding we took her to olive drive animal hospital then took her to Taft animal hospital they spayed her and while they were doing so she still had in stitches that would not dissolve and several blood clots and a bad infection my baby would have died if not for Taft veterinarian

This veterinary hospital used to be so good years ago,ever since 2016 I have been very dissatisfied with them.When I called to make an appointment to take one of my Dogs in they put me on hold for long periods of times, then my call gets disconnected. Over 6 years ago I tried to get an appointment set up to have my Dog fixed and they said it would be a 2 month wait. I called another Vet in Fresno and they were able to take my Dog and do the Procedure within 5 days. What really floored me was in Oct. 2020 I took my older Dog in for his Vaccinations and they had me wait outside in the Parking lot. No more going to South County Vet.

Pay the extra money for quality care!! Took in my English bulldog for an emergency C-section. They literally bring you your puppies fresh out the womb unstimulated and right after the mom. They have zero compassion they make mom walk out fresh out of surgery still unable to hold herself up. You get exactly what you pay for. Traumatic experience. I will stick to my regular Vet. You get what you pay for!!!

Im very thankful for this vet. His prices are very affordable. He was compassionate when explaining my babies issue and the options we had to fix it.

Review №37

2022-12-06 04:23:44

Very disapointing. We were there for 1:50 waiting and waiting to have our dear old dog euthanized. They said the delay was due to an emergency Ceasarrean. Nothing accomplished at that point so we walked. We also wasted 1 hour and 20 minutes driving to get there. We arrived at the appointed time. Many others who arrived later were given care.Mystifying to say the least. They seem to have a decent reputation. A little basic housekeeping (dirty, unwaxed floors, etc.) is past due. Staff was mostly friendly with one quite legalistic gatekeeper.

Staff was very helpful. The Doctor had great ability to communicate his diagnosisVery confident in his ability. They did great job operating on and keeping my dog for one week priced very fair. Only draw back waiting sometimes a little long but worth the wait

2022-11-22 22:14:40

Always good care and service at reasonable prices for the most part. I was required to buy pain meds for a dog after cleaning. Basically Tylenol for dogs for $38. I checked the box no pain meds before the procedure but was told afterwards it was not optional. I was also told I had to pay the bill and then would get a copy. I insisted on seeing the charges actually on the bill, not the estimate, and found a charge for a test I had declined before the treatment and the pain med was charged in triplicate. $176 overcharge, but it was corrected before I paid.This is not the usual, in fact I was really surprised at these financial errors. Maybe it was someone new. I would always encourage people to check what they are charged. I had just had a dog in there for dental and knew about what the charges should be and that raised the red flags. I also think that any mandatory meds should be disclosed and not an option to refuse that they dont honor. As it happens I had pain meds left from the other same weight dog. I didnt need that $38 bottle.I still recommend their veterinary services without reservation. Just check your bill before you pay.

So far my experiences here have been great. Little background info though: appointments are to be made 2-3 weeks in advance. If that doesnt help or if your situation with a pet cant wait that long, they do accept walk-ins from 9:30-10:30 am Monday to Friday. This place is usually busy that I’ve seen so far so do plan with open time on your hands. A lot of people seem to like the services they give and how theyre treated. Especially because they are affordable for reasonably great pet services.

2023-04-05 22:29:08

Do not go here. They gave my dog medication that is not meant for my size of dog and for his needs, which caused growths that will never go away. Then, they started overdosing him on a different medication. They are horrible, do not go there.

2022-05-02 06:41:30

Way more fair prices then other vets. Took my pocket bully for an emergency c section took 30 min and we were out. Puppies needed more attention due to not breathing right. I had to swing them myself in my car to get them breathing right.

My vet in Stockton, Ca wanted $2,217.00 to clean my English Bulldogs teeth and remove 1 tooth. My cousin told me about this vet she has been using for 20 years that was an excellent vet and reasonable prices. I drove 2 1/2 hours and wasn’t disappointed. My dog was well taken care of, her teeth were cleaned and 3 teeth removed. I was charged $185.00.

Review №45

2022-06-01 19:29:09

The office staff is beyond incompetent. Been waiting for my dogs records to be transferred for 2 years to new vet. Was there today and still couldn’t get records. Dr Hatayama is not what he use to be. Rushed in and out. Didn’t have time to explain. He talked to me from the hallway. And didn’t understand anything he said. That whole building needs to be shut down…..

Review №46

2022-07-21 20:52:28

Had my dog get spayed and when I picked her up the office staff stated that she was already loopsie from the surgery. It seems like they don’t care about the pets after they go through surgery because they LITERALLY grabbed her by the back of the neck and DRAGGED her out the crate as if she didn’t come out of surgery! I told them to wait since Penny (my dog) was trying to balance herself and they ignored me! TERRIBLE! That’s no way to treat ANY ANIMAL after surgery.

Review №47

2019-10-30 22:33:17

Yet again they deliver good news for a pet I brought in. The staff truly cares about the animals, they dont charge you an arm and a leg. They are kind and loving. The normal vet is a real nice guy who is very knowledgeable and right now he is out on medical leave, but I am glad to say his daughter is following suit on being a kind and knowledgeable vet who cares. If I am to take my animals anywhere its here. Me, my best friends dog King (who was struck by a car but made a great recovery) and Buttons the 2nd (20 year old cat with eye problems) thank you for being a great and outstanding veterinarian facility.

I will always be so grateful for the place! Doctor and his staff saved my little puppy.. Hands down best experience... I cannot thank them enough for saving our little puppy who is part of the family now they were so fast professional and the price was unbeatable... I had just been in the ER with our puppy the night before and it was the worst experience ever they would not do anything for her they wanted $3000 before they could do anything… I was helpless and frustrated and all I do is show up to this place and they took care of everything and may I mention again the price For everything was so affordable and they took care of our little one.. 💕

This office provides all the services one would need for their pet at a fraction of the cost other vets charge. The technicians are professional and kind. The vet took all the time I needed to explain what was wrong with my puppy and was very kind and easy to understand. The front desk is usually very busy but just be patient. It is worth it!

I really appreciate you Dr H! You are an interesting character that I luv and a very good Dr to dogs. Another reason I visit you is your are as affordable as can be, no price gouging. I realize you could charge much more and if so I would still go to you. YOU ARE APPRECIATED THANK SO MUCH.

I love this vet!! All animals of mine and loved him and responded very well to him. I told him how the Pet E.R. Had basically ripped me off ($1,000) and he let me go free of charge when I went for a check up with my Golden Retriever with epilepsy. Hes a good vet, and from who Ive spoken to in the office while waiting people drive quite some time to see him.. Always recommend him.

Review №54

2016-12-30 09:09:28

You cant bet the prices but the vet didnt even listen when I was telling him about my dogs odd behavior/action. The way I see it the owner knows their pets normal behavior so when they notice something odd and bring it to the vets attention; he should listen. Other than him everyone else is very helpful, kind, and respectful. Just make sure you make an appointment cause you pay less and have less of a wait. The wait can get up to an hour.

I have been taking my furry kids to Doc for nearly 30yrs. He is very very busy, but I have found him to be one of the most caring and compassionate veterinarians in the valley. He had always taken the best care of my furry kids.

My Chug needed emergency attention because of having seizures out of the blue. Id never been there before, didnt have an appointment obviously, it was on a Saturday and it was after 10:00am (they close at 11:30). They took us, without attitude, and diagnosed my sweet boy. The outcome wasnt what I was hoping for and I had to make the drive back to Fresno without my best friend, however, there was no one to blame, and no one to fault. If/when i get another dog this will be his vet.

Review №57

2019-04-27 19:42:08

Ill give a 4 because the vet has been great with my sisters cat. The cost has been good and he hasnt try to get her to do unnecessary tests or surgery when the cat broke his paw. But going in on Saturdays is insane. Theyre packed, there is very little parking, and it took half an hour to just buy a bag of cat food. Not to mention the smell...

I waited over 2 hours for my appointment that I had booked a month in advance. Then the unprofessional very young and rude girl proceeded to tell me that my appointment wasn’t for a x-Ray which it was! Then they went back and checked their schedule and realized it was. And also realized they messed up and scheduled me a week to early to confirm my dogs pregnancy. Again I had already waited 2 hours for a scheduled appointment.Also this office is extremely filthy! I don’t see how it is state board compliant? I would never recommend this office to anyone

The vet is amazing, he loves animals and is very thorough with the exams. They offer non invasive ways to treat a lot of things. They are extremely affordable. If you make an appointment, the 30 min to hour wait is worth it, if you walk in, it can be 2 to 3 hours because there are so many walk ins, but it is still way worth the wait! It does smell like animals, but never been to a good smelling vet place anyways, even the expensive vets stink. This place has wonderful staff and they answer all your questions or find someone who can if they cant. I recommend this place to everyone, even if your 2 hours away, its worth the drive! This vet saved my friends puppy, over the thanksgiving weekend, she had parvo and it was only $300 for the 4 days she was there, and they saved her life!

They do a good job with distancing. No one enters the building. Everything is through the window. They had a cpl of emergencies that got them behind, but it was no big deal. Very professional crew and friendly. My cats visit was quick once she was seen. Check out was fast too.

Weve been taking our Pittie here for years now, even though its a drive to get there, they make sure his medication is ready on time every time. We have to actually take him in every few months but they will just call in the refills in between his office visits. So convenient and such a friendly staff.

My baby was diagnosed with a severe condition no Vet wanted to see her and the price for her surgery was 3 times my house payment I was refered to this vet I called and explain my situation the receptionist was so kind and helpful I couldve hugged her if I was next to her, she told me to take my dog in the next day, I was there bright and early everyone was very kind, understanding and very helpful, I called to check on my baby and everyone was simply the best! Huge and sincere gratitude for this doctor and all of his staff!

The most reasonable and caring veterinary clinic I have been to. The staff is always very accommodating and helpful. I have animals on medication and their prices are far lower than anywhere else I have checked. They always provide clear estimates and show concern and compassion for animals.

This place is a life saver, it’s not fancy or anything but they take great care o my animals at a reasonable price.I took my cat to different vet ( because she hate car rides and it was closer) they insisted on blood work then when it showed nothing they were like ok we don’t know and suggested I the same blood wor again. It was awful.South county vet is very pragmatic about test and the like and let’s you know you options. I Stan them super hard.

I love South County Veterinary Hospital and Dr Hatayama. They arent taking any new patients right now because of covid, but theyve been caring for my fur babies for years. Very kind and caring staff. Dr Hatayama is very patient and will answer all of your questions. It might take a little bit longer for the visit, but its worth it when you know that he will take his time and talk to you until every question is answered. Also, they have the best prices of any vet Ive ever been to.

For walk ins the wait is excruciating. The nurses seemed unknowledgeable. They gave my dog a shot before I even approved. Other than that, it was good. Probably deserve a 3 star but they are reasonably priced so 4/5.

For little things as in vitamins shots there okay are you walking in and it smells it smells horrible customers or relating to animals just run around the staff is very commercial the doctor is very commercial and very rough he will not take time to explain things to you he is very rude they making steaks OverWatch and let animals die they dont write down correct information they take gases at Dougs weights and then over anesthetize them killing them and saying that their dogs heart just stopped for no reason its happened to three of my friends another one of my friends had their dog in their took it be spayed and she came out dead they messed up and they cut something and they couldnt stop the bleeding. I do not recommend this doctor I do not recommend this the other night clinic there a revolving door Clinic you get what you pay for they are cheap and thats about the only good thing that there is if theyre cheap so if you dont really care about your Animal by all means go there but if you love your pic like I do pay the extra money theyre worth it for just like children I dont mind is just like my daughter thats how I look at her I love my dog! If I could give it minus 10 Stars I would

Great Vet! They let you know everything and are quick to help. Ive taken my dog here to fix a broken leg which everything healed great and just recently he was attacked by a pitbull where they had to amputate his leg. The prices are very reasonable. The staff is really great too! I highly recommend!

Went as a walk in and the wait was not horrible although I did arrive shortly after they opened. Unfortunately, they dont accept CareCredit so I had to leave without the recommended procedure. Ive nothing but good things to say about the staff. I wish I could help them with the cleanliness of the office.

Dr Hatayama is the best most affordable throughout the valley. He loves animals so much & is one Dr. I can count on to see my fur babies right away & does not charge for more than you need. He is not in it for the money. He is in it because he cares. I drive 20 minutes to his practice because its worth it. Other places charge $2000 for something he will charge $200 for. He has a friendly staff.

Had to take my eight year old female golden retriever in and confirmed my belief that she had cancer. She finally had to be euthanized after some examinations and when the time was right. Staff came out to the car to do it because the dog was too weak and big to bring in.Staff is very professional and busy. Doctors are not trying to become millionaires off of you. I hold predator vets in great distain when the staff greats you with “fir baby” talk. Selma staff is not like that. They are extremely popular because of their prices. Most of our family and friends go there. Wait is long but worth it. Waiting area is clean as is reasonable with the traffic. These people I trust to care about their patients. Doctor takes the time to examine thoroughly and he is very knowledgeable. They deserve the support of the community and I would wish they had the funds to expand so they could take care of more animals. People cannot afford the prices vets now charge.Cost from an in town vet was over a thousand dollars to remove a fox tail and treat for a tape worm on our new retriever. We will be going to Selma from now on for all pets. We currently have three big golden retrievers. I wish to thank the staff and doctors for being the kind of people they are and for my experience with them.

He tells it like it is. This man is not about money in my opinion.Only getting to the point of either fixing or letting you know he cant fix it. The nurses are really nice and prompt. I have been going here over 7 yrs and five animals with no problems. Right now it is very busy and frustrating for some because of Covid and the Hassel with waiting in the parking lot with sick pets. It is a tense time but staff is doing the best they can and it shows.

These are the best people in the regular vet field. They are EXTREMELY busy for a reason. They help people out with their pet issues, take the time to answer questions and take in emergencies when needed. They are the MOST reasonably priced office anywhere! If you dont like the smell of a very busy office, then go pay the high prices of other vets fancy offices. I really appreciate what Dr. Hatayama and ALL the staff do for me and ALL my four legged best friends!!

My BFF took her Westie in to have her teeth removed.

Less then an hour later, dog done and happy! So was her owner! Overall excellent experience! Totally recommend this place!

I absolutely love and swear by this veterinary hospital and Dr. Hatayama. My dog was dieing from Valley fever and I didnt know what to do because I couldnt afford an expensive vet bill for medication. He saved my animals life and for a great cost!! Not only did he not charge me a walk-in fee, but he discounted the price for medication and gave me free wet dog food (about $50 overall). I also got my 90 lb Lab neutered for under $100 (and his surgery was more invasive than most!) The animals are his main concern and hes always willing to help those in need.

Took my dog to get treated for parvo and he died. I want my money back! He was doing fine before I took him. He was playful and happy. I took him there and that was the end of it. Useless service. The office ladies being very rude, like if your not happy working there then leave, no consideration for people going through tough sicknesses with dogs and for them to be rude like come on. I can only imagine my dog not being given the full attention he needed. It breaks my heart thinking about it. I probably couldve cured him myself. Disgusting smelly place! That shouldve been a sign that the place was a complete mess. Oh well I can go all day talking about how much hate I have towards that pet hospital but Ill stop here. Very unprofessional!!!

I was recommend this veterinarian office by a friend. She raved about this office. First time calling placed on hold for 5min. Staff member came back on phone and asked to hold just a moment. Then on hold for additional 8min. One the staff member return back to my call and asked a couple of questions. The call ended all of a sudden. Not such a great first impression I have to say unfortunately. I didnt bother to call back due to encountering the same experience all over again.

Been going to this vet since I can remember. Hes in it for the animals, not the money. Almost 20 years ago he would do night calls for us. I recall one time him, myself and my dads girlfriend all showed up in our pajamas for one of our dogs. Another dog of ours, a senior chihuahua, needed emergency surgery. He didnt just leave her at the clinic overnight but took her to his house each evening and back to work in the morning without charging us extra. I still use him as my vet as an adult now. Hes always been amazing and trustworthy.

My first time going there today, took my pup for a possible broken leg. I wasnt aware of their walk-in hours but they allowed me to stay even though i was 30 minutes off their timing. Then the power went off in the building but they still took in their patients. I waited maybe 45 minutes. Dr. checked my pup said she needed x-rays and showed minor fracture so he put a split on her and even showed me an actual bone of where the fracture was along with the x-rays. Both nurse and Dr. took very good care of my pup. The front office staff were also helpful and courteous. Only bad thing i would say is place has a strong dog smell as you enter but i will definitely come back again.

This is Amanda Frey, Savannas mommy:) not only am I super thankful for these guys, but they made my switch to another vet easy as pie. In this instance trying to switch vets as a pet might be dying is very difficult to say the least. After the mishap at the other vet, I was nervous to find another. Stephanie saw me as a walk in and I am so happy to have had the pleasure to meet and actually talk with her. The receptionists, no matter how busy, took time to make sure everything was set, handled and correct. You guys deserve so much credit. Thank you for taking the time with me to make,me feel at ease, xoxoxoxoxo!!!

A friends dog needed help with an abscessed tooth, she called all morning and no one answered. The website showed them as open. We drove from Fresno and walked in to be told that the doctor was out for a few weeks. I asked why they didnt answer the phones and was told that its because they are closed. No information was offered on the recording or the website that the office was closed. To me this is bad business. We went elsewhere and will not be returning.

The front office staff is enough to ensure I will not be going back to this office. They are very rude and lack professionalism. When you walk up to the front desk, they do not acknowledge you in the least. I stood in front of the receptionist for 10 minutes while she was on the phone talking to clients, all the while rolling her eyes and acting very annoyed. Then, she proceeded to hang up the phone and move onto some sort of computer work as Im still standing in front of her waiting. She never once said hello or Ill be right with you. Then, without acknowledging me, she proceeded to help the person in line behind me. I could say more about other aspects of the office but I would not even be writing this review in the first place if I hadnt had such a bad experience with the office staff.

I took my Cat here yesterday for congestion and balance issues. Dr. H didnt do a full exam, didnt listen to her lungs, or look in her ears at all. I found a growth behind her ear while I was there and he argued with me that it wasnt there, then my husband felt it last night, and the vet I took her to today for a second opinion felt it. She also looked deeper into her ear and found tissue which could be just swelling from inflammation or cancer, which is what she thinks it is. This vet also noticed shes not blinking her left eye which means the growth is putting pressure on the nerves behind her ear. Dr. H just looked at the surface and didnt see an infection, but didnt use any tools to see deeper in like the one today. Im not a vet, just a long time pet parent, and I knew it was something in the ear because of the balance and congestion. This is just negligence. Im suspicious he felt it and just didnt want to deal with it, or just wasnt even trying. Makes me wonder how many pets die and suffer from his negligence when potentially serious illnesses are missed and go untreated.

My dog had bladder stones and I took her to my regular vet on cedar and they were trying to charge me between 1800-2400 for surgery! So I tell them I cant afford it, because I cant, and remembered my friend telling me about the vet in selma so I take her there for surgery and they charge me 628 for surgery, meds, and her staying two days. They told me my dog needed to stay on a diet with prescribed dog food came out to 47 dollars for two weeks worth of food and I need to take her back so she can get her stitches off but I am so pleased with this place. I read reviews just to see what people said before coming here and first of all the so called stench that is unbearable or whatever that reviewer said is exaggerating or they have an extremely sensitive nose but the place does not smell that bad I walked in and hardly even noticed the smell but anyway people there are nice and helpful they are kind and I am definitely taking my dog here from now on its cheap they dont charge you for unnecessary anything, and they do an exceptional job. For those with bad experiences its the same with doctors they cant save everyone so if your dog dies under their care chances are your dog wouldve died under any vets care and theres probably nothing anyone could’ve done so dont blame them for your pet dying it happens. Also this place isnt an emergency pet hospital or open 24hrs, the phones dont turn on until 9am so dont get all upset because they don’t answer be responsible as a pet owner and have the number of at least 2 or 3 different pet hospitals in case of emergency thats what I do dont rely on just one place especially one that isnt open 24hrs.

I took my dog, Boone, to a MUCH MORE fancy, pricey, and convenient vet hospital because he was unable to urinate and all the info I found online said it was a life or death problem and to seek attention immediately. After being billed roughly $500 my dog was still unable to urinate. I was completely distraught because I had set up a payment plan and had spent my last $75 on the first payment (required for him to receive treatment). When they told me his only option was a $1,300 surgery (which I could not do on payment plan because I already had a plan in place) I lost all emotional control and was a blubbering mess. I thought I was going to lose him :( One of the aids was kind enough to tell me I could try taking him to SCVH in Selma and see what Dr. Hatayama could do. As soon as the Dr. saw him he knew he needed immediate attention and recommended surgery. My heart pounded as I awaited the estimate worried I would not be able to afford it once again. The cost of his surgery was $125 and they would take him immediately! After his surgery he had to stay longer than expected and we worried that it would get pricey but the Dr. told the receptionist that since he was the one that required him to stay we wouldnt be charged the additional nights :) Our dog did experience some complictions at home due to us walking him up and down the stairs to take him ourtside and when we brought him back in they gave us a HUGE discount once again. I am SO thankful for SCVH because without them my dog wouldnt have made it another week. Since that day we have been taking all of our pets to SCVH and have been immensely satisfied with their care.

Great vet, vet techs in side are polite, they treat your pet like you would treat your pet. We had been here before and didnt want to make the drive up there again so we took our puppy to the spca here and that was a mistake. They were horrible the wound looked awful they charged me for all kinds of extra things i didn want them to do in the first place ended up costing 200 dollars for my 9 month old puppy. Took our momma dog to south county hospital they were great hooked her up to iv fluids at no extra charge, helped me out to the car with her bc she was still alittle groggy from the sedatives they gave me for her to help her anxiety before coming in and still only paid 135. i mean wow i will NEVER take my dogs anywhere beside here ever again.

Took my baby in for an emergency c-section and they seen her right away, Sabrina came out to talk to me and my husband filled us in on everything that was going on. Then when we went to pay the lady at the desk said it would be $800+ I said ok and they said we would need to leave her overnight for monitoring. They said no news is good news. If we dont call you shes fine. Saturday morning they called said she didnt make it and that i would be getting some money back. Then she said would you like us to DISPOSE of her. She then called me back on monday to tell me again that my dog didnt make it and if i wanted them to DISPOSE of her. She then said we owed more money but I said you told me saturday i was getting money back and she said oh, ill call you back. I never received another call.

New veterinarian I thought I try out, prices are cheaper than those in Fresno..and vet has been around long time..when I took my cat in he got a upper respiratory infection, vet just looked at him not even really checked him out or ask my a lot of questions.just walked out the door, then assistant said Dr was prescribing meds and to pay at the desk. Vet is not compassionate to pet owners for their love of their pets..and when I brought another cat in, he just did the same thing, after a couple of days I took my cat back to see vet. Same thing didnt even touch her or exam her..nothing she was really worse than the other cat..just sent me home with meds and cat can food..well a few days later I took her to a vet here in Fresno..right away they put her on oxygen..and I V fluids really dehydrated..ran test and said she was diabetic. I couldnt save her she was to far gone I had to put her to sleep..

We had been taking our pitbull to two diffrent vets for allergies and as soon as Dr. Hatayama walked in the exam room he knew exactly what was going on with our blue fawn Pitt. He told us something I had never heard before, and that is our dog has blue dog disease that explained everything that we have been dealing with for the last 3 years. He is an awesome vet!! We will not take our babies anywhere else.

Dr.Hatayama and his team are amazing!!! They take such amazing care of the animals that are brought to them and are so affordable that even if you dont have a lot of money you can still get your animal the treatment they deserve.

Took my 13 year old rescue puppy in for her shots and because she had what I thought was a fox tail in her leg that I wanted the Dr. to look at. Dr. Hatayama pointed out that it was a tumor. Im not going to put my doggy through chemo ever if she has cancer, so there is no need to diagnose what type of tumor. He took her back right then and removed the tumor from her leg with a local anesthesia. For an additional $20 he removed her tumor! Try getting great quality caring medical attention without being taken to the cleaners any where else, you will never find it. We used to take our dogs to Waterhouse in Fresno because they are located near our home. My old doggy had other tumors a few years back that I was going to have Waterhouse Vet Clinic remove but when they gave me the estimate of costs, I was SHOCKED at how much they were going to charge me. Then after getting the estimate for the tumor removal, I had my son take my dog to Waterhouse for grooming and they threatened that they were going to report me for neglect because I did not have the tumor removed! LAST TIME EVER that I will go to Waterhouse. Dr. Hatayama removed that tumor for $800 LESS than Waterhouse quoted me. We love Dr. Hatayama and will always take our pets to him, all four of them!

Dr. Hatayama is great along with the staff, but, they are super busy and appointments need to be made at the very least 2 weeks in advance. I wouldnt take my dog to any other Vet!!!!!!

With Covid19 regulations and as a walk in patient, my Chihuahua was seen rather quickly. It seems as if they are faster now than before Covid19. I recommend and will return here if and when needed.

Been going to this vet for a couple years . They have always treated my dogs good. You can tell the vet and staff actually cares about the animals and not just about the money .

I like Dr. Hatayama, but he isnt often available. Ive been seeing him for 20 years and it is simply too hard to get an appt unless it can be dated out a week or two (or more). Good for general checkups, maintence, etc., but not great for emergencies.

Dr. Hatayama is a very caring animal lover. He is kind, caring, understanding and has a lot of empathy for us owners of animals. This includes his staff as well. I will travel anywhere to see him specifically and only him

When my dog, Ethel, a (we think) husky-white-golden retriever mix, was attacked by fellow pets (new strays that adopted us) and had her tail chewed and hanging by shreds of skin, I brought her to SCVH where they were horribly busy. Her tail area was oozing puss and blood. THANKFULLY the other patrons saw this scene and were kind enough to allow us to go ahead of the line to get her serviced.Needless to say, the staff took her in, had her stabilized and sent her to surgery. After surgery, she was required to stay a minimum of three weeks. Afraid to see the bill, when I received it, it was (as many reviewers will say) a fraction of its anticipated cost that you would pay if you went anywhere else.The team at SCVH, from the receptionist/office manager and her team, to the many interns to the doctor himself serve with compassion. THEY DO KNOW ANIMALS and they do an exquisite job of maintaining them under their care. They get emotional when an animal leaves them (an amazing experience) because, for the length of time that the animal is there, the staff becomes somewhat attached to them.But what is REALLY amazing about SCVH is the other patrons. I thought that what they did for Ethel, after seeing her condition, by allowing her to go ahead of their pets, showed the spirit of the whole hospital: Caring, concerned and unselfish.He and his staff are AWESOME. However, here are a few things of note:-When you call….you might just go to voice mail or you might meet up with a stressed receptionist. Take it in stride. Their very small office is always crowded and always busy.-When you get there…see above.-If you do go there for service, DO EXPECT TO WAIT and please show the patience of a saint (the staff and the other customers will appreciate it).This veterinary hospital is busy for a reason. They do great work.Because of the volume of patrons who use SCVH services, the staff, sometimes, seem overwhelmed. But then, again, I have faced the same circumstances in human hospitals.YOU, as the patron, have to make the effort to show some consideration. In the case of my dog, I didnt expect the kindness to come from the other patrons. I found it very moving.From where ever you are in Central California, you will do your animal a great service by taking your animal to the South County Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Hatayama is a gem of a vet and he is training tomorrows veterinarians and vet assistants today in the mindset of compassion, education and efficiency. His staff does an awesome job of managing all of the activity. And the patrons really show much consideration.It is worth the drive.

This place just cares about money i called them to ask for a question of a concern i had with my puppy she told me just bring him in she didnt bother to give me advice or anything.she didnt even let me explain what was going on. but then i called the dinuba vet and they asnwered all my question and i didnt had to take him to the ER because they gave me the answers so as for the selma vet hospital i am very dissapointed because i asked a question and they told me to bring him in and pay to get helped. you guys should be able to help the callers with any concers that way we avoid taking them to the hospital. my puppy is now doing fine thanks to the DINUBA VET that gave me advice.
