Animal Clinic Of Benicia - (707) 745-5993

I just found this page and wanted to put in my two cents on Dr. Laurie and her clinic. She is a wonderful human being and has a huge heart. Yes, her office may be small, but that is not why I go there. And by the way, I have been going to her for a couple years now with my animals and I have NEVER had anybody's kids running around so that comment on here is odd to me. Anyway, we lost our beloved dog last year and Dr. Laurie was the most patient, kind, and understanding doctor I ever could have asked for. She knew how much we loved our dog, and knew it was an enormous financial burden to care for her when she fell ill and gave us options and was very concious to not do anything that was not necessary or cost effective for our dog. When the time came for her to pass, I called Dr. Laurie in hysterics from home and she dropped everything and came to our home to help us and comfort us on the most difficult day of our lives and for that I am forever grateful. We now have two new dogs and a cat and I will not take them anywhere else as I know that every member of her staff is going treat my animals as if they were their own. Thanks Dr. Laurie!

When I read the other reviewers comments...I just HAD to comment. I LOVE this vet! Dr. Laurie is one special human who shows her care and concern for the pets that come in as well as their owners. I highly recommend Dr. Laurie to anyone who is looking for a vet for their special family member. She has been in practice for many years and bought this hospital from the previous vet. If you are looking for an old fashioned 'country doc' this is your vet. If you are looking for someone is up on current medical practices, this is your vet. If you are looking for a doctor with a heart (not looking to pad their pocket book) for your little critter...Dr. Laurie is the one to go to!

I am new to town and tried this clinic out for regular care and was a little disappointed by the staff and even the vet's kid's running around the very tiny hospital. I understand the owner has only been a vet for a few years now, but really, is it safe for children to be running around? This leads me to question how are the animals handled? The clinic was relatively clean, the staff was decent but nothing attracted me to stay a client at this hospital.
