Parkway Veterinary Hospital

Dropped our dog off at 12pm for a radiology appt. they insisted getting her there before they close for lunch. I sat around and waited until 4pm as they said they would call when she was done. I called at 2pm they said it would be about another hour. By 4:20 they still had not called. I sat around for hours and had to call them to be told she had been ready for awhile. Not happy. Earlier in the morning they had called and asked about ordering some test that we never discussed (x-​rays) and they said the MA’s had discussed it with us and put it in the chart. Nope! Thanks for wasting my day.

I have been taking my two frenchies here for 8 years now. One frenchie is my million dollar vet baby. But it’s not because of anything Parkway has done. Dr. Wraith is my favorite. He gets excited to see Bentley because she is always so excited to see him too. Which I assume doesn’t happen much in a vets office :) She had a severe reaction to her immunizations where she went into shock before we left the office. Dr. Tanner noticed this right away, checked her gums, and rushed her back. Took great care of her! Super scary moment but was handled with such grace and also speed. Always returns calls in a timely manner, checks in to see how everything is going, caring, and always available. I wouldn’t take my little nuggets anywhere else than to Dr. Wraith! Thank you for keeping them so healthy!

This is a long overdue review… I love Dr. Bloomberg; she is an awesome veterinarian! Actually, I was a little apprehensive the first time I saw her because she looked so young. But she has been such an awesome veterinarian to my pets and she was so comforting and sweet to me when I had to put one of my cats down. It really meant a lot to me how she treated me that very sad day. When I got my new cat, she was very smart & knowledgeable with her, trying to make my new cat comfortable as possible at the hospital. I highly recommend Dr. Bloomberg!

This veterinary hospital is by far the best in East Bay.
Dr. Tanner was so personable and made sure my baby Kano was taken care of.
He’s a 1 year old Siamese who had some major eye difficulty after we adopted him.
She prescribed some ointment which later turned into oral drops and kept in touch about Kano’s progress.
I’m so pleased with the results. Kano is now fully recovered.
I will continue to go to them for all of my pet needs. Thank you, Dr. Tanner!

Dr. Wraith doesn’t just Care about the animals, he cares about the whole household and how the pets may affect the family. He is great with my very shy chihuahua and I totally trust his judgment and advice.
Additionally, Lani is very Caring and made me feel at ease putting my older dog under for a thorough dental which was badly needed. I’ve thought of switching to a vet closer to my house but I stay at Parkway because of the trust and service.

Parkway is amazing! Dr. Bloomberg is absolutely wonderful and she really cares and goes the extra mile to ensure my 2 cats are well taken care of (and that I have peace of mind!). She really listens and takes time in the exam room to answer questions, etc.
I sadly had to move out of state a week ago & I took my kitty babies with me. My littlest is having a hard time and is severely constipated. I have taken her to 2 emergency vets in Texas but I haven’t been impressed. Knowing she needs better care but feeling at a loss of what to do, I called Parkway this evening. The receptionist was wonderful and kind. She took a detailed message and said she would relay it to Dr. Bloomberg who was in with patient. Dr. Bloomberg called me back and was incredibly reassuring. Together we formed a game plan to help my cat get the best care here in my new city. Even thousands of miles away with nothing in it for her, Dr. Bloomberg calmed my fears by helping focus my efforts to get my cat help. Who does that? The best veterinarian ever. Thank you, Dr. Bloomberg!!! We love you (and miss you!) Hopefully we will be back in the Bay Area again.

The staff and docs here are so kind, caring and loving towards my boy. They always make me feel comfortable in knowing they want what’s best for my pup! They even call a day or two after treatment to check in and make sure all is well. 2 thumbs up-​highly recommend them! Dr Tanner is my doc by the way.

It was time for my little cat’s annual wellness exam and being new to the East Bay Area, finding a good vet can be challenging. Anyone who loves their pet understands finding a vet that you feel you can trust but who is also compassionate is very important as your little one is in their hands.
Dr. Wraith really exceeded my expectations. He was informative, courteous, and you can tell he understood my little cat Kayley’s well being was very important to me. He made the time to ask if I had any questions about Kayley as well which was truly appreciated as I adopted Kayley and she is the first kitten I raised by myself. I really appreciated the service and will definitely go back again.

LOVE THIS VET!
It can be challenging to find a good vet. Took my fur baby in for a visit, since the last vet I took her to was not so good. I knew she was going to need surgery. The doctor was awesome, explained everything, was gentle and caring, I knew she was in good hands. They were booked for a few weeks out, so they decided they would do the surgery that same day! AMAZING!!! They kept me up-​to-​date on her condition and all were so sweet. Price wise it was pretty standard for what she had done. However, they didn’t throw in a random fees to make extra. I have learned that going the cheap way isn’t always best, paying a little more is worth it. Going to make this my pups primary vet.
so thankful for all they have done.

SO mad at this vet!!! I came here originally probably 5 years or so ago when my dog was sick and they were very caring so I made them my regular vet. Shortly after I brought my other dog in. She needed her nails trimmed and they literally dragged her across the floor into a back room leaving a trail of pee behind her. When she came back out the lady was mad at ME because my dog pooped all over the place because she was so scared! What do they think will happen dragging my dog like that?! A year or so later I adopted a dog from Stonecliffe Rescue and brought her in for a check up and Dr Tanner started bad mouthing all the rescues! She talked about how all these rescues have all this land and pick up dogs and sell them for high prices and didn’t believe my dog had all her shots like the rescue claimed. I was really upset and didn’t like her attitude but then I thought «what if…» So I had all her shots redone. In hind sight I trust the rescue over this vet and I’m so mad I didn’t trust my gut and I allowed myself to be bullied! Fast forward a few years, they never sent me a reminder when my first dog’s 3 year rabbies shot was due! I called and complained then went elsewhere. Then my second dog’s rabies was due back in April and again NO reminder! I’m all for taking responsibility of my pets but a 3 year shot is a long time and I rely on the reminder! I called and they claim they always send a reminder and the lady I spoke to said if I didn’t get one then that is on the office manager. Ok so how does that help me?! Once I can understand an oversight but TWICE?! They obviously don’t care if dogs are going without their vaccines! Over 3 years and not one courtesy call or postcard or anything! Add to that the terrible bed side manner and I’m never going back!

Took our high-​maintenance beagle in for a total overhaul and what a nice experience it was. We had been dreading finding a new vet but our worries were for naught.
Dr. Bloomberg– Awesome
Lani the Toothmaster– Awesome
Even the women behind the counter were great. I wish our own healthcare provider actually provided in the way that Parkway does– great service and not too expensive.
Thanks again

I had issue with another vet not treating me and my little rat well, so I called here and talked to Denise, and she was incredibly helpful! She calmed my nerves a little and made me feel better about coming in. (I was super nervous due to last vet) When we got there Denise greeted me right away and went over what was going on. She, and the other staff members, were all very nice and Dr. Tanner was great with our little ratty! Gave me good info and definitely seemed to genuinely care about our animal, which is super important to me. We definitely found our new vet home :-)

Took my newly adopted puppy to Parkway Veterinary Hospital and it was an incredible experience!
1. Scheduling was easy! We filled out the online form and were able to book an appointment right away. Love that they use demandforce, which sends automated reminders via email and text. What a breeze!
2. The staff are great. The ladies in the front were so friendly and sweet, we felt comfortable immediately. We got there early to do paperwork and was seen by the doctor after about 5 minutes. Gotta love efficiency.
3. Dr. Bloomberg! She’s the most incredible vet we’ve met so far. She is caring, thorough, and professional. Since my pup is a little shy around new people, she really took it slow with him and waited until he felt comfortable before doing the check up. She gave me really great information regarding his overall health, and inquired about his habits, diet, and routines. She also gave us samples of toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, and some treats that are good for his teeth! She also took him in the back to get him slowly acquainted with the staff/​people.
The prices were reasonable and Dr. Bloomberg was great at explaining the differences between the various types of preventives. Overall, very satisfied with our service and will definitely continue to come here.

I have two accident prone dogs and Dr. Tanner has always done a great job treating them. I also think her prices are reasonable. She is kind and you can tell she genuinely cares.

Fantastic place! I came here because of their amazing customer service. We had just moved back to the area and had two dogs come with us. We had not found a vet but one of or pups had eaten some medicine.
Not knowing how much she ate I was very panicked. I called multiple offices asking for advice. Should I bring her in, is what she ingested toxic etc. Every single person said «I don’t know, you have to call animal poison control» then call us back if they recommend a vet. We had just moved and just graduated from college. No jobs yet and student loans galore. Simply calling that hotline was $ 60 and that wouldn’t count toward any medical help if she required it.
My panic stopped once I called Parkway! The woman was so sweet and she calmed me down. She put me on hold to go consult the vet quickly. The recommendation was to bring her in. They took such good care of her and gave us suggestions on what to give her if she ever ingested anything toxic again.
They even called 2 times to follow up and check on her in the days following. Which they do every time there is a visit that isn’t routine. We have found our vet and would highly recommend.

Dr. Tanner is the most wonderful vet! Every time we see her it is just so clear that she sincerely cares about pets health and well being. So glad we found her and Parkway Vet!

There are simply not enough stars for how I and my dog Prada feel about dr Wraith.
We have lived in many cities and states– met many vets– some good– some ok– some money hungry– some rushed– some who cared– some who didn’t–
But out of all vets– this man is something special. Above even the «good and caring» ones prior.
My bichon has a history with bladder stones— we have now had 3 surgeries to remove the stones, the last being here at Parkway.
We have been misled– and quite frankly, before I don’t think the previous vets took the time to get down to the root of the problem.
We were sold special dog food previously, told we needed surgery, more water, no human scraps, less treats. Blah blah. We did it.
We were told the problem would be taken care of after coughing out over a grand in surgery etc…
Well a year later she was sick again and developed stones. Other vets simply didn’t take the time. They looked for the quick fix and a quick shot of antibiotics all for it to develop again…
Dr wraith? However… This guy cares. Not just about results and being good at his profession– but I also feel like he has a great understanding of my dogs personality– and he seems to really care about her. He is honest. He takes his time explaining and answering all questions (even the silly ones)… He leaves lengthy phone messages to explain and follow up– he gets ahold of you in record time… He was honest about cost and even gave me an option if I was looking to save and his opinion… He is honest, caring, personable, real and the only vet that has really thought to set up a solution for my poor girl.
We are now being proactive and preventable — as opposed to careless and money hungry.
In a world of hit or miss vets– he is warm and really thorough.
His office staff is friendly. Sweet girls with kind hearts. All willing to answer any questions without hesitation– they really make an out of stater feel right at home. These are good people.
We are sad to be moving. But that’s just my fiances profession we hop around… We would take dr wraith and his staff with us– if we could. But knowing he and his expert and trustworthy advice is only a call away makes me rest assured.
Thank you dr wraith. From me, my family & a much healthier and happy Prada.

I came home from Vacation to find that my cat was sick for the 3^rd time with another bladder issue. He was 7 years old and the past 2 times they told me we cannot make any guarantees that it wont happen again. I understood this and researched it, switched his food to UTI food and still his bladder got blocked. I had just moved to Dublin and literally walked in my apt from my trip and began to call hospitals. This was the second place I called and they said I could bring him in immediately and would watch him until the doctor was able to see him. The other place wouldn’t let me bring him in until 3pm (my cats bleeding, I cant just sit and wait)… So I took him in and waited until they called me to tell me the next steps. Long story short after a few trips to the vet that week I ended up having to but my little man down. One of the hardest decisions I have had to make. The staff here and people that came in and out were amazing. I was able to be there and see him and hold him before we put him down. They gave me a paw print in clay. They remembered who I was just walking in. I know if something should ever happen to his brother or my dog that this is where I would go. They talked to me as if I was family and treated my cat in the same way. I do wish they start taking care credit at some point. It really helps with vet visits for people like me who cant pay the huge vet bills right away. Dr. Tanner helped me from beginning to end with the whole process and would even call me at home to check up on my baby. Its hard to put into words how much they helped me with my cat.

I adopted the most adorable australian cattle mix puppy in front of Petsmart a few weeks back, and just by association I decided to bring her in to Banfield (inside Petsmart) for a free visit/​checkup and her last vaccine. I did not get a good vibe there and the vet seemed very unprofessional. So onto Unilocal I went!
I am so glad I found this place. It’s kind of small and out of the way, but the ladies in front were so so nice and Lonnie, the first one that I spoke to, was very helpful and informative. I get a real sense of sincerity and love of animals here.
Dr. Wraith saw my puppy and was more than happy to answer any questions that we had about our puppy. He was also very playful with her and made sure to make her feel at home, knowing that puppies should get used to being at the vets and shouldn’t made to feel nervous in these kind of environments. He even brought her to the back to get her nails trimmed after her vaccine since they were clicking, which I thought was really great of him.
All in all, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning.

AMAZING! Every pet and pet owner should be so lucky as to find a veterinary staff that truly cares. I have been taking my precious dog, Sammy, here for 3 years now and have never experienced anything but stellar service.
Today was no exception. Poor Sammy had a growth on his foot that needed to be removed and sent for testing. Dr. Tanner was incredibly thorough and patient, even when I began to cry (emotional basket-​case that I am) she was kind, understanding, and reassuring. The surgery went well, Sammy’s foot was wrapped and cleaned, the staff greeted me with kindness, and Lonie was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to go over the details of the surgery, the timeline for obtaining results, home-​care of the wound, and answered all of my questions. During the procedure I had Sammy teeth cleaned (seeing as he was going to be put under anyway) and I cannot tell you how BRILLIANTLY clean they are! He was well taken care of and it shows!
As someone who adores her dog and sees him as a member of the family, I would not trust his medical care with any other facility. I want to thank the incredible front office staff, the professionalism and thoroughness of the nurses and support staff, and Dr. Tanner for her skill and knowledge. Thank you for taking care of my BABY! =)
