What recent reviews say

Most owners appreciate Guardian Angel's low prices and genuinely caring staff, especially for surgeries and spay/neuter work. However, some report confusing or unexpected charges after service, slow responses to text messages, and inconsistent communication about what they are consenting to during visits.

Recent shift: One reviewer (2 weeks ago) noted a shift: the clinic "used to be an affordable vet and our primary care" but staff and services have changed; wellness visits are no longer available and only text scheduling via Alyssa.

Praised for
  • affordable pricing
  • caring and empathetic staff
  • quick emergency response
  • knowledgeable vets
  • easy scheduling
Watch-outs
  • surprise or unclear billing
  • slow text appointment responses
  • front desk rudeness
  • procedures done without clear consent

Best for: Owners seeking affordable spay, neuter, or emergency surgery for rescue and foster animals.
Think twice if: People who need clear upfront pricing, prefer phone calls over text scheduling, or want a full wellness exam before surgery.

Strengths

  • very low prices on routine surgery
  • fast after-hours emergency response
  • caring approach to end-of-life services
  • post-operative follow-up calls

Worth knowing

  • Staff named: Alyssa (end-of-life counseling, text appointments), Miguel (tech who makes pets feel welcome)
  • Post-operative follow-up: staff call the next day before even scheduling follow-up
  • Appointment booking by text message via Alyssa; responses can take days
  • Emergency surgery incision quality noted as excellent in reviews
  • No wellness visits offered for current surgical patients according to one reviewer

All Brick has two faces: patients report deeply compassionate euthanasia care and solid boarding, but frequent scheduling mishaps, front desk rudeness, and prices that outpace peers frustrate long-time owners. Recent complaints about unfinished grooming and unfulfilled services suggest operational strain.

Many pet owners trust Hermosa for affordable, life-saving surgery and kind end-of-life care; staff earn repeated praise for compassion. Chronic long waits and rushed care undermine confidence, especially among those with tight schedules. Prices for parasite prevention are competitive. The clinic lists orthopedic and emergency surgery, dental, diagnostics, and preventative care. Euthanasia and cremation support is well-documented. A handful of reviews flag inconsistent professionalism and poor communication, though most customers report good care when the visit happens.

The Vets Animal Hospital

Long-time customers praise affordability and Dr. Sebunya's attentiveness, but recent reviews show serious gaps: missed diagnoses with no follow-up, staff turnover with rudeness reported, unclear procedure consent, and a critical case where the clinic turned away an emergency. Loyalty to this hospital is eroding.
