Center Veterinary Clinic and Urgent Care

I recently brought my newly adopted cat, Penny, to Center Veterinary Clinic for her first visit. She had some fleas and needed routine lab work to establish a baseline. From the moment we arrived, I was so impressed! The facility is spotless, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They brought Penny and me into a private room right away, which really helped lower her stress. Dr. Boitnott was wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring throughout the entire visit. The vet techs, especially Sayaka, were amazing with Penny. They handled her so gently and made me feel completely comfortable with the care she was receiving. You can tell everyone there truly loves animals. I’m so happy to have found such a great clinic and feel confident establishing them as Penny’s regular vet. I highly recommend Center Veterinary Clinic to anyone in the Mira Mesa area looking for a clean, compassionate, and professional veterinary team!

We had a really great experience at Center Veterinary Clinic & Urgent Care in Mira Mesa. We first came here back in 2023 for the same issue with our cat, Milo, so when his eye became very swollen again, we knew we wanted to return because we trusted their care. Our appointment was originally scheduled for 5:00 PM, but I called to ask if we could be seen earlier since I got out of work sooner than expected. They were very accommodating and got us in without any problem. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we were seen very quickly. The environment inside the clinic was also excellent. The space was very clean, welcoming, and well kept. They even offered complimentary coffee while we waited, and we noticed they had a small selection of pet items available for purchase, which was a nice touch. Dr. Matthew Bigelow took care of Milo and was wonderful. He handled our cat very gently, answered all of our questions, and clearly explained the possible causes and treatment plan so we felt reassured and informed. The visit and treatment were also fairly affordable in our opinion, which we really appreciated. From start to finish, everyone treated us with kindness and professionalism, and checkout was smooth and easy. We will absolutely continue coming here and highly recommend them to other pet owners.

We bring our three furbabies here for their main vet needs and we wouldn’t want to go anyplace else. Everyone is pleasant, our visits aren’t rushed and we feel like our pups are in great hands. We recently lost our precious bullmastiff, Sasha, and I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your exceptional care with her. She always loved her visits, even when she wasn’t feeling well. She was always excited to see all of her friends at Center Vet and everyone always treated her with love and kindness, and that means so much to me and my husband. Before Sasha passed, we did a picture with Santa here and it’s something we will treasure forever. We also recently received a card saying a tree will be planted at Lassen National Forest in her memory, which is so meaningful and sweet. Thank you so much for your wonderful care.

I asked for a muzzle because my very sweet dog doesn’t like being touched sometimes when she has a sore ear and it was ignored, instead, Dr. Lee just didn’t touch her at all during the exam, even when I asked about an issue with her ears which went unresolved. It seems Dr. Lee would rather argue about dates of vaccination and whether I am 2 weeks late or not (I was not). I still need a vet to tell me how to care for her ears even though I paid for this new type of "touchless exam"…. The rest of the staff was awesome hence the extra star.

Absolutely amazing staff, they are super responsive and helpful! Dr. Boitnott helped me care for my favorite little kitty cat like clock work when she was sick! Fully explaining everything leaving me with no questions and solid treatment plans. Wouldn’t take my cats anywhere else in the future.

Great service and very efficient. I was happy with all of the staff and barely sat down before we were called to the exam room. Dr Geiger was excellent in caring for my elderly dog. The vet tech was nice and caring. I would recommend your center to others!!

Center Veterinary Clinic in San Diego is fantastic. They are caring, skilled, and up to date on the latest research and techniques. They have care for my senior, medically complicated kitty for years and he is thriving. Having the urgent care available has been a blessing when the unexpected arises.
