Purple Paws Pet Clinic

"I wanted to share my positive experience with Purple Paws Pet Clinic in Coronado, specifically with Dr. Tugend, who has been providing excellent care for Tango, my chonky cat. Dr. Tugend, a local Coronado grad, brings a personal touch to his practice. His expertise in internal medicine and surgical skills is commendable, with a focus on swift resolutions for pet health issues. What sets Dr. Tugend apart is his commitment to not only addressing medical concerns but also ensuring your pet stays happy. His dedication to maintaining those furry smiles is noteworthy. My visits to Purple Paws with Tango have been consistently positive. Dr. Tugend's knowledge and compassionate approach have left a lasting impression on Tango's health. For anyone seeking reliable veterinary care, I highly recommend Dr. Tugend and Purple Paws Pet Clinic. Their commitment to pets, both locally and beyond, is evident. Tango and I are grateful for the excellent care we've received. Five stars all the way!"

"I really love how this practice treats you like one of the family. When you walk in, there’s a sign that your pet is part of their family. You can see that the staff treats your pets with love and you can see that they have fun together, which is a great sign for how a family -like environment it really is there. We love bringing ing our Barley in for her visits!"

"I've been coming here for my Lab for the past 2 years and never have I experienced the most awkward and relatively unprofessional visit to get him a flu shot. Everything was fine up until payment was required. I walked up to the counter, and a blonde nurse/receptionist makes no eye contact and simply hands over the mobile payment device with the total displayed, expecting I simply pay. I mean where does one go to any business and is expected to pay for a service without any mention of what's owed? Awkward... So I ask can you please charge it to the card on file, which I've done on every occasion before, and once she realizes it's under my partners name when I asked to lookup our account, she says she can't find it and quick to her defenses. I ask how then did you provide a shot for my dog and not already know the owners name? Makes no sense. She said they have a new system and whatever other excuse and then says she can call my partner to get payment info, I agree. Next thing, I am expecting to give them her phone number and they quickly find it and call her. What the heck!? You couldn't find her name, but then are able to find her phone number!? My partner answers, makes payment, and I then ask are we expected to bring a physical payment each time, which is fine, we both have a shared card but recently lost mine and would like to accrue airline points with our purchases. Other lady says I can try and save it in our system and apparently she said it actually saved, and proceeds to say " oh you know how computers are". Sidenote, Dr comes in the receptionist area to give a file and instructions to the blonde lady and she responds that she has a lot on her plate or something to that effect, the Dr responds that she knows and also has a lot of tasks to complete as well, wryly smiling back. Who speaks back to the Dr like that in front of customers!? She needs a vacation, a lesson in professionalism, or simply find another line of work, either way poor customer service experience, I don't really want to go back."

"I cannot express how grateful I am to have stumbled upon this office while traveling out of state. The staff is so friendly that I felt as if I’ve known them for a long time. From the front desk to the back every employee showed such compassion, care, and kindness. Dr Paar is hands down the best Dr I have EVER EVER had the pleasure of meeting. She was very informative as well as understanding my dogs anxiety issues. She and the team made him feel very comfortable during tooth extractions. I was soooooo nervous as any fur parent would be to have a procedure done, but Dr Paar and the team made me feel calm and confident. I wish I could bring this entire team back to my hometown for future vet visits. I highly recommend!!"
