So long as I remain in California - - I will travel hours upon hours to get to Bishop Ranch. There is no veterinary center that compares. NONE. Alright, so there might be some sole practitioners out there who are just as good or worthy, but there is no LARGE PRACTICE out there that can compare to Bishop Ranch.
Dr. Cain here is amazing.
The staff - - equally TERRIFIC. You walk in and without fail, someone will greet you by name, ask how the dog from the last appointment is doing, ask about whatever you talked about last time... okay, so maybe I spent a little too much time there, but what I'm saying is that they are super-friendly.
Hours - - SPECTACULAR. I mean, they open until midnight on weeknights - how can THAT be beat? Get off work, have dinner, watch a movie and THEN take your dog to the vet for vaccinations? HELLO... I can't tell you how many late-nights I have come to Bishop Ranch for whatever it was I needed....
Emergency services are also superb. I've unfortunately perused those too, with the doctors and staff being available 24/7, as needed.
Technology - - incomparable, from ultrasound to every new therapy or treatment out there.
Patronage.... anyone who has been to Bishop Ranch, stays at Bishop Ranch.
I originally found this place by recommendation by the pickiest, most annoying and absolutely irritating woman I know who, I kid you not, thinks her dog is her husband... or at least lover. No joke. But - - given how she thinks of her dog, I figured it was worth a shot since I was SURE she would not take her dog anywhere but the best.
I made an appointment, drove to the location on that date, and was impressed from start to finish, and have never looked back.
COST: NOT CHEAP. I swear, I have singlehandedly paid for at least two of the doctors' kitchen remodels, if not paid off a kid or two's college education, haha. But it's worth every penny. EVERY PENNY.
Since moving away from this area - it's now an hour from me, and I have had no choice but to utilize some of the local vets in my immediate area for more basic services, though I still go to Bishop Ranch for anything more complicated than a splinter or a basic vaccine for my dogs. However, I sigh each time I am at the veterinarian in my area.... and I sigh a lot because I'm there alot.
There's no place like home....
