Ophthalmology For Animals

"Hi, I’m Shannell and In January, Velvet my maltipoo dog had a sudden inflamed and bulgy eyes. I called the Opthalmology for Animals clinic, and they were able to get me in the next day. You don’t even know how this calmed me down, and knowing that they could accommodate my pet right away gave me so much relief. The staffs are all very kind and empathetic towards my pet. Starting with the beautiful and kind front desk lady, to the knowledgeable Veterinarians, and Dr. Horikawa is absolutely the best doctor. It turned out that Velvet has episcleritis and uveitis in her eyes. They were very thorough about the treatment for my pet, and all the medications were explained to me well. Dr. Horikawa and her team actually are the ones who suspected that my pet may have cancer. They went above and beyond to give my dog a physical exam and aspiration to test for cancer. They even referred me to several oncologists as it was a time sensitive matter. They literally saved my dog’s life. I thank you all so much. I am really so grateful. Every single one of you in that clinic are all heaven sent for my Velvet Cheese. I just want to say thank you to Dr. Horikawa and all the staff for your sincere care to my Velvet and for being so nice and friendly…"

"I took my dog Cory to Dr. Horikawa two weeks ago for an eye checkup because i saw some cloudiness in his eyes. A friend of ours recommended this place since they had a good experience. The staff members were extremely sweet and understanding even we arrived 15 minutes late. They gave Cory yummy treats and a very detailed examination. Dr. Horikawa was very patient, kind, professional and knowledgeable. Luckily no major eye issues were found in Cory’s eyes and a detailed report were given with things to look out for. The entire procedure was efficient and also fun for Cory. Thanks Dr Horikawa and staff! Bonus: the clinic is super cute with dog themed decor. And very clean."

"Dr. Horikawa was so so kind, caring, and knowledgeable. She and the team did a great job checking our precious Monti's eyes. We drove all the way from San Mateo for this appointment and awful traffic made us nearly 30 minutes late, and they were somehow able to move things around to accommodate this scheduling hiccup even though they were quite busy (sorry again!!). The office is also located near a lot of nice places to shop and eat, and near the beautiful coast. Cannot recommend this team or office enough!"

"Took great care of my dog and Dr. Lavallee made something I thought would be traumatic for him into something that has changed his life for the better. I especially appreciated the after procedure check up."
