Oxnard Veterinary Hospital

Over a year ago I started to go to Dr Jan with Koumei, my then 13 year old cat. We learn he had diabetes. They worked with me and my budget and we got my cat on some insulin. Cat saw Dr Jan almost every 3 weeks for 6 months before he passed away last year (2025) on Feb 23rd at 14.5 years old. After I called the office to let them know I got a card in the mail saying they were sorry for my lost. Then again I got another letter saying Dr Jan has made a donation to a very good cause.

I took my pet cat here when he developed a respiratory illness. After the cat's examination, they provided me a huge list of "recommended" treatments costing about $400 to $1,000+. Much of it was unnecessary (X-ray, full-panel blood test, urinalysis, expensive injections rather than oral medicine, etc.). After convincing them to knock out the overkill treatments, I got my bill down to about $250. They still prescribed two different steroids for some reason (a one-time Depo-Medrol injection that's supposed to be good for days, plus oral Prednisone medicine), which is apparently not something that vets are supposed to do because it can cause severe side-effects. They also failed to provide enough Enrofloxacin (oral antibiotic) for the two-week treatment plan, and I ran out about six days before the treatment plan was scheduled to be completed. Unfortunately, the office was closed when I attempted to call for a refill. Be very careful with this vet. I highly recommend using a smart AI (Google Gemini Pro, for instance) to help you if you are not personally experienced with veterinary medicine. UPDATE: The vet office was able to refill the antibiotics during their normal business hours. Unfortunately, the refill cost another $45.

Quality, compassionate care. I had to take my kitty Princess in to be euthanized yesterday. The staff were very nice and Dr. Feingold was amazing. He did a consultation where we went over everything. It was very thorough and helpful. They have these brochures to help with loss. That is so thoughtful and kind. I got to spend some time with my cat before we left. It was very good that I got my kisses in, as the last cat I did not. This is the place to go. The care is the finest and the compassion is real. UPDATE: We recently received a card in the mail from Dr. Feingold wishing us well about having to put down Princess. ANOTHER UPDATE 2-24-24: Dr. Feingold's office made a donation in Princess' name to the Companion Animal Memorial Fund. It supports studies into problems and afflictions facing a wide variety of different animals. Thank you so much, Dr. Feingold! Princess was a very special cat to me. She used to do this thing where she'd rub her cheek across my face. It was so cute. Thank you again!

Super friendly you can absolutely tell they love what they do we felt very welcomed

This place is good, and the staff is friendly. The downside is you will wait a while for longer appointments. The doctor is extremely thorough, which causes him to get backed up and patients a longer wait. Also, the doctor will lecture and reprimand you if you don't understand certain things, but it isn't common knowledge. Brightside they are open on Saturday. Ultimately, they aren't perfect, but my animals need to be seen somewhere, and they have a flexible schedule, and the vet cares. So, I am still coming here regardless.

I found this vet very off-putting. First they try to upsell you over and over again then the Dr. makes you feel bad when you elect to not purchase all the add ons. The Dr. doesn't really seem knowledgeable and is very strange to be honest. I elected to go somewhere else because I just didn't trust my dog was getting the best treatment. Now I am trying to get my dogs records and the Dr. has a policy that he will not release the records to the owners. I find that extremely shady. That is my dog and my money was paid to have services performed, and you will not give me her records. There are so many Vets around I would suggest going elsewhere.

Great vet! Very knowledgeable and been in business for decades. Trusted advisor. Small office operated by a single vet and assistants. Only complaint is the long wait time. I had to wait over an hour passed by appointment time. Not including the 20 minutes i showed up early to fill out new intake paperwork. A courtesy heads up would have been nice. I'm sure the staff knew they were behind. I truly hope this gets worked out with the front desk staff who makes the appointment.
