My son's beloved greyhound, April, was hours away from passing (or so it appeared to me). Her usually slim belly was bulging out both sides with what turned out to be an 8.25 lb massive tumor that took up 90% of her abdominal cavity. She wasn't eating, since her stomach was getting squished. Her usual high-spirited, fun-loving, happy self could barely move. Her muscular legs looked slack. She had lost so much weight, her bones were sticking out. The mass had grown within weeks! Thank God for Drs. Herder and Jimison and their staff. As April's grandmum, I got to know them during pre- and post-surgery visits. The grass doesn't grow under anyone's feet there. They run a brisk business, are well organized, professional, tech-savvy, and, most of all, friendly, kind, and love all God's creatures that walk or are carried in. April sensed that and did not hesitate to go in. She loves Jonathan (who is in training to be a vet). I am forgetting the names of all the wonderful staff I met there, but am grateful for every one! Muir Oaks is conveniently located around the corner and up a short hill from highway 4. It's a shining oasis, with a wide driveway and parking spots and a patch of lawn in front for dogs to sniff and do their business. The building and lobby are beautifully decorated, gorgeous, comfortable, clean, and spacious, with high ceilings and plenty of light from several windows. It was a miracle that someone cancelled and April was able to have surgery the day after Dr. Jimison and their staff spent the day saving a pup's life. One of their staff had tears in her eyes as she described their efforts. My son and I learned later that he had given up his vacation for April. I am attaching some of my favorite photos but will spare you the bloody one of the massive tumor Drs. Herder and Jimison removed during a 6-hour operation (posted on their Instagram account -- @muiroaksveterinaryhospital). As someone with very high standards, I usually do a great deal of research before choosing a service provider that I think will meet my needs. This decision was my son's call, since April is his pup. Muir Oaks exceeded my expectations, with flying colors! I highly recommend them. They saved her life!

We take our dog for boarding here. Our girl adores Muir Oaks staff and care. If I had any criticism it would be that the rates jumped recently. However, it's well worth knowing she's well cared for. Thanks Muir Oaks!

I couldn't be more pleased with the staff at Muir Oaks. I was able to get my injured cat in the same day I called. The front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating. They immediately called me back to let me know they could get my cat it to be seen. The doctor was fantastic and explained everything she was going to do to treat the wound. They are sympathetic and very kind during these stressful pet situations. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Herder-Jimison! She takes such wonderful care of our rescue, Cornbread, and helps ease his anxiety with each visit. Getting him current on his vaccinations and relieving minor issues leftover from his days at the shelter has been amazing, and he's finally looking/acting like the healthy young dog he's supposed to be. Love Muir Oaks! Very thankful for a local vet hospital that cares for their patients like their own.
