VCA Marina Bay Cities Animal Hospital

I can’t say enough good things about this practice! Firstly, they have the best reception staff, that will move mountains to get your dog seen by the doctors, as best as they can! They are so friendly and sooo good with the animals. My dog loves visiting the reception staff because they always put her at such ease! Secondly: they have one of the best vets that we have ever worked with, Doctor Elliot. We have seen many vets and Dr. Elliot has been the most patient, knowledgeable, caring one that we have come across. His determination to get to root causes and to provide your pet with the best care is unbelievable. We feel so good about this animal hospital and we love the way they care for our sweet puppy!

Dr. Elliott is the best cat vet! We have been taking our cats to him for over 10 years at VCA Marina. Great animal care, organized, cost transparent, and clean. The front desk staff is lovely too.

VCA took amazing care of my Sterling and Dr. Ohm took so much time to answer all of my questions and make sure he was properly checked out. He also tried to find the most cost effective treatment for him which I so appreciated. 10/10 would not take my fur babies anywhere else. Thank you!

I have been going to VCA for my maltipoo the past 3 years. I felt they were ok but not great until this last visit. I randomly got an appointment with Dr Connor due to my dog having GI problems and I’m so glad I did. He is the sweetest most caring doctor and my dog went right up to him. Normally he is fearful at the vet. Dr Connor took his time, extremely thorough and answered all my questions plus, he had the best bed side manner. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a good vet!

Please, please DO NOT let your pet undergo surgery with Dr. Thornbury! My puppy was spayed Dec 2021. Three months ago, she started displaying signs of heat, from bleeding to relentless anxiety and discomfort. Tests confirmed very high levels of estrogen and our (new) vet suggested this was likely due to a VERY rare "ovarian remnant syndrome", which has a 0-0.5% occurrence rate. In other words, Dr. Thornbury likely left a piece of her ovary intact. Today, my dog had a second spay surgery at the Veterinary Surgical Specialists (VSS). The surgeon just called, letting me know he found a large, very obvious piece of her left ovary; an excessive amount of scar tissue on her right side; and an unusually large amount of uterus remaining in her body. Even he was appalled and had to remove all three, and each is being biopsied. If we had not done this INCREDIBLY invasive, very expensive $4K+ second spay surgery, she would have likely developed cancer as a result. It is devastatingly obvious that Dr. Thornbury completely botched the surgery. I called the VCA office with this information and, luckily, they are taking this very seriously. As they should. I pray that other animals haven't suffered under her care.
