Michael Butchko DVM

First and foremost thank you Dr. Butchko for going above and beyond to help your furry friends parents! Today your office staff, Tammy and Zach were great! Tammy showed compassion even with the amount of furry friends you guys have to attend to in that office. Tammy was able to help me not only through my tears, when it came to the wrapping of my Dobermans Ears being a little botched by my lovely husband, but she assured me that my big man Oso was going to be just fine. She went above and beyond to double check with the doctor and put me and my family at Ease! my big man Oso was going to be fine. I know the signs to look for now in case the ear doesn’t hold up after a tight wrap that was accidental on one of the ears . I highly recommend for those that are closer to their Riverside office to go get your furry friends ears wrapped by the technicians.!!! In my case we are 1 hour and 35 minutes away. So I definitely had too and did master the wrapping. And Dr. Butchko I took your advice.. Duly noted. I won’t kill my lovely husband. 😉

Amazing service with very knowledgeable staff. I have ZERO complaints here. The wait times are worth not having to make appointments. Just be prepared to make a day of it, go comfy, Go early to Check in. Get same day services, same day minor surgeries included! Medications available as well. Definitely taking all of my fur babies back for future visits and check ups.

Been coming here for years. The staff is always really friendly and super nice. Though with an increasing number of people in the area, it is worthwhile to note that on busy days and times, you may wait quite a long while to receive service. That being said, the staff always does their best and is really caring. I definitely recommend them.

I was referred here. I was told about the long line and long wait time. We came prepared. Dog food, water, toys, and air conditioner in car. All I can say it was worth the wait. Everyone was nice and appeared to really care about the animals. The office runs pretty smooth. The staff are knowledgeable and they are straight forward regarding your dog's needs. Be prepared to wait in your car after you check in.

While pricing is generally good, lack of appointments( walk in only), and short staffing make visits much longer than they should be for general visits. I had my bulldog neutered there a few months ago, and was told on pick up that he wouldn’t need a cone or donut, as bulldogs “can’t reach “. A week later, he managed to undo his glue and stitches, leaving a huge open wound. Butchko’s office was closed that day, forcing me to take him to an emergency vet which was hugely expensive ( I have not attempted to litigate this with them). I cannot blame the office for being closed, but I do blame them for not educating their staff.
