Montecito Veterinary Center

Dr. Grant Patrick is the absolute best vet in Sonoma County. He is knowledgeable, professional, honest, and caring. We’ve been bringing our Champion and Companion Collies here for about 12 years. He will answer all your questions, give his personal advice on the issue(s), and return phone calls in a timely manner. Wish we had found Montecito 30 years ago.

A friend whose dog had dental surgery recently highly recommended Dr. Patrick, and although I was initially told it would take a few weeks to get a new patient appointment, I was very happily surprised to get a NEXT DAY appointment for my cat to have dental surgery when they had a cancellation! Timing is everything, as they say. I was very pleased with how kind, experienced and knowledgeable Dr. Patrick is, and my cat is recovering nicely after having 9 teeth extracted! I'm so glad I didn't have to wait longer (or pay more money as the vet my cat usually goes to had quoted) because my cat had a big infection going on in his mouth and is now on a 14-day injection of antibiotics. A definite thumbs up!

From our first phone call to inquire about this Veterinary Center, we felt welcome and valued. We set up an appointment to establish care for our sweet and anxious older dog and were warmly welcomed when we checked in. The vet tech who brought us back to the treatment room was genuine and attentive. The veterinarian was equally genuine and attentive, and seemed relaxed, confident and competent. He was also engaging and humorous; friendly. We could tell he really cared about us, our pet and our experience. In all my years of being a pet owner, I think this was the best experience I have ever had. It was such a relief! We can't recommend them enough!

Dr. Diehl and Dr. Patrick are both exceptional in the care of our pets. Both are very compassionate individuals who care deeply for their patients and owners.

Dr Patrick is by far the best vet we’ve found in the Santa Rosa area. We’ve had our family pets all cared for by him and we’ve always received the best of care. Even our very timid and sometimes mean rescue cat is totally relaxed and comfortable with him. We just saw him this week for our annual checkup. Our appointment with Dr Patrick was at 9:30 and by 10:00 we were headed home with a happy cat, all our questions answered and a fair bill for services. Sadly, a false rumor was shared in Next Door that Dr Patrick had retired. Which is 100% totally false and devastating to his practice which he’s built with loving care for many years. The truth is that he lost his home in the 2017 fire and had to cut his hours back as he rebuilt and managed that devastating loss. He didn’t leave people hanging, instead he brought on additional support. Beyond being one of the best vets in Sonoma county, he’s a good guy and my hope is that he feels equally supported by our community. Kudos to this awesome clinic and the people who work hard to provide excellent services. I’m here to say that my experience is and has always been amazing.
