Burlingame Family Pet Hospital

"With both the former practice and the new practice, my dogs have always been well taken care of. I bring in my personal dogs as well as my dog walking clients here. Care has been thorough and thoughtful. Thankful for Dr. Merrill for the many years of tending to our family’s dogs. Happy he’s retired now enjoying leisurely days. The transition over to our new vet, Dr. Hoppe has been great. Her gentle bedside manner and vast knowledge tells me my dogs are in good hands."

"The entire staff at Burlingame Family Pet Hospital are fantastic. Dr. Dorothy Hoppe is the best. She is not only a great doctor but takes the time to get to know not only your pet, but you. She listens, a rare quality among doctors of any type. The rest of the doctors are much the same. The administrative staff are always kind and helpful. I recommend this place highly."

"I have been taking my two puppies now dogs to Burlingame Family Pet Hospital ever since I first brought them home in October of 2022. Each employee at Burlingame Family Pet Hospital treats me and my pets with care and compassion. I would not recommend an individual at this facility, but I recommend the entire team. I trust that whichever vet I make an appointment with that day, my pet will have the best care possible."

"1/28/24: Update to my original review. Now I can say I have worked with all three vets at this clinic and would continue to highly recommend. "Dr. Rich" Meisels had the very difficult job of diagnosing our 8-year old Berner Tux with two types of cancer. He walked us though a very emotional ending with compassion and dedication I will never forget. Literally, the kind of vet who gives his home number and shows up on his day off to free your pup from pain and lead him to the Rainbow Bridge. I'm a little reluctant to write this as it may not be their normal practice but this was our experience. I really believe this practice is going to go above and beyond for you and your furry loved ones. Original post: Very friendly staff. Take time to establish rapport with animals. We have seen Dr. Hoppe and Dr. West and each took time to explain their recommendations. They do not recommend expensive tests unless needed. Highly recommend this practice."

"Love the vets here! They are both very experienced and they definitely know not only how to examine your dog but also know how to handle and read them! my dog Lizzie is a little intense and looks scary sometimes... and when she barks you want to run away lol but she is a sweet girl. both vets handle her as if they known her forever. the staff is also very friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend this clinic!"
