Gary L Roussopoulos, DVM

Woah! I don’t even know where to begin. I had a bit of a wait because he had an emergency case which is understandable. The staff are happy, the customers were a dream, and my Yorkie didn’t bark at all. Once he was able to see us, we were greeted with warm smiles and got right to the point. He kept me at ease and within minutes I went from «omg my dog has cancer» to «ew gross, what is that?!» After we removed some waxy build up. He gave my little guy a nice check up and helped with other things.
Bottom line, I would recommend this place. I felt at home and for some reason so did my dog. This was our first visit and it won’t be the last. I’ve already told others of my awesome experience.

There should be 10 stars for Dr. Gary. I took my project purr (used to be feral cat but not anymore) to Dr. Gary when our normal vet wouldn’t see him.
He had a terrible bladder infection and I begged our normal vet to find time. They blew me off and suggested I could «drop him off». I called Mountain Vet on the off chance they could fit him in. Not only did they fit him in but they were going to stay late because they knew it was a desperate situation.
When I got there with my cat Dr. told me that my cat could have died had I not gotten there when I did. We went home with three meds and fingers crossed he should be fine.
I’m so happy I found Mountain Vet. I will not be going back to my old Vet. They clearly don’t care about animals like Dr. Gary does. And for once I didn’t have a $ 200 plus bill with a ton of unneeded tests. I had a firm diagnosis.
And the lady who runs the office is incredibly nice and accommodating.
Thank you so much!!!

Our family has been taking our dog to Gary for 13 year. Our dog is a medium build poodle mutt who is vastly worried about vets, but this man works magic with him, gently and firmly. He has always provided reasonably priced assistance, timely reminders for vaccinations, and accurate, reassuring diagnosis. Most recently, as opposed to other vet’s diagnoses, he suggested a tick borne pathogen was causing very bad symptoms; other vets suggested he had cancer, etc. The treatment Gary suggested worked! We can’t imagine what we will do when Gary retires… keep going, sir!

Gary is a superb Vet and human. His rates are affordable which makes him perfect for chronic or acute cases. All our pets have been treated by him and we have never witnessed panic in their eyes upon examination. Long live the Mountain Vet. We are forever grateful for your talents and care.

Dr Gary is everything I could dream for a in a vet. Such a wonderful person. As friendly as he is to the humans, clearly his love is for the animals. He explains everything and gives you all options. If your dog has a physical disability he will come to the car to examine you dog. He keeps his business costs low and passes it on to the consumer. I just can’t say enough how grateful we were to find him. We used to see another local vet who only cared about how much money they could squeeze out of us. If you don’t live in the San Lorenzo Valley try a pretty drive up to Ben Lomond. Gary is worth a little drive and more!

I feel so blessed to have Gary take care of my cat,“Spookey”. Felton Vet hospital told me that my 7yr. old cat had to have his teeth cleaned because it looked like he was getting an infection in a small part of his
would cost $ 377.00, but it could be done in 2 to 3 months. Later I thought why didn’t the vet give him any antibiotics and why could it wait so long if it was so bad. I took him to Gary and he checked him out (with the help 0f a friend holding the cat) He did scrapes on a few teeth, said there wasn’t any infection and was done in about 10 min. Cat was fine and didn’t need any further treatment. And BEST of all Gary didn’t charge anything. can you believe it??? Another hint friends,
the Felton vet was giving my friends cat a medication that cost $ 33.00 for 40 pills… same prescription at Costco $ 11.00 for 80 pills. Costco will fill most vet prescriptions. Gary knows that I live on a small income and to be so good to me and Spookey. I’ll never forget his kindness.

I am grateful for Dr Gary for providing honest, caring, and extremely affordable care. He provides such an amazing service to the community and we are forever grateful. He is a truly generous and wonderful person.

I have gone here for years and this guy is amazing, I have had friends that pay thousands just to go to a vet in town. Gary is very reasonable and honest plus he acts like he really cares about your animal. You cant lose with this place

Gary is a fantastic vet. Hearing my neighbors rave about him and how well-​liked he is throughout SLV made me even more confident in our decision to start taking our dog to him. Very friendly, affordable and to the point. You can tell that he loves what he does and isn’t all about taking your money.
If you have a pet and live in the area, SEE GARY!

Gary and his team are just amazing. I’m a recent implant to the Ben Lomond area and my cat has had a tough time adjusting. Daily fights have become the norm for him up here. He recently came home with a wound on his forearm that got badly infected. I did my best to treat it but it became too much for me quickly.
I came home from lunch after a couple days to find my little furry buddy listless and in pain. I called up the mountain vet who told me they were full up, but that it sounded like my buddy was in a bad way so I should come down anyway.
At the end of the day Gary made time for me in his very busy schedule, patched up my kitteh, gave me some antibiotics for him and only charged me $ 50!!!
Thank you soooo much Gary for saving my little friend!!! You’re amazing!

Best vet in the world, as far as me and my animals are concerned! I trust him more than anyone with my animals — the fact he’s also the best deal in town is amazing.

Awesome DR who saved my cats life! Thank you also for helping save my tiny Chi after dog attack. He stopped eating and DR Gary helped me baby his GI tract back into eating with doggy probios chicken and something else but its been 4 years so I dont remember. He is always fair and he always gives you hope. Other vet wanted me to put my dog down. He was not even 1 year old! He is a healthy happy chi now! Thanks DR Gary!

Wow. Dr. Gary is a gem. My cat, Dexter, suffered a puncture wound in his mouth yesterday after getting caught in some metal fencing. I took him in today as a precaution and was so glad that I did. Dr. Gary said that mouth wounds are usually not serious and are quick to heal, but he didn’t like the look of this one. Sure enough, in addition to the inflammation, Dexter’s temperature was already up. The doctor gave him antibiotics and assisted with the first dose. We were in and out fairly quickly, with meds in hand, and I was stunned by how little he charged me. I am so very grateful to have found such a compassionate and competent vet so close to our new home. Thank you again, Dr. Gary!

Dr. Roussopoulos is a great vet. I’ve been there for a few issues with my dog and he’s always been quick and fairly priced. This isn’t your typical animal hospital, but the doctor is extremely knowledgeable and great with my dog.

I gave Dr. Roussopoulos 5 stars earlier because I was so pleased that my lovely cat recovered after having been given antibiotics for a simple infection; and the price was wonderful! Also, he does know how to handle animals very well in my estimate.
Two years later, I took my cat in. Dr. Gary diagnosed and suggested – after several visits – she had an mostly inoperable jaw bone tumor. After awhile, I expected euthanasia because she was obviously at least unbelievably uncomfortable – and most likely in great pain. She could not eat or drink or even move much at the end. As anyone would, I geared myself up and said those difficult goodbyes to my sweetest friend before I took her in for what I thought would be the last time. Yet, he would not put her down. Of course, I know my pet’s needs more intimately than any vet could possibly. Yet, that was not a consideration for Dr. Gary. Three days later, she breathed her last painful gasps because Dr. Roussopoulos refused to ease her pain.
If your pet is in need of antibiotics or a simple – but not always – accurate diagnosis, I would recommend him because of cost. If your pet needs surgery, he may suggest he can do it (off-​site) but seems to always recommend against it. I have yet to see were he has done any surgeries in the last several years and believe he has stopped the practice altogether. It makes me wonder about his vet license renewals.
Once again, if antibiotics will solve the problem with your pet, he’s your man. Anything else, seriously consider going elsewhere.

There will be those who just want to part with heavy loads of money… If you are a person with bottomless pockets and an aversion to anything of an alternate solution to things medical, move along.
However, if you just want a truthful veterinarian who will do everything within reason to help out, you have found him. Our animals love the man, and after having dealt with most larger vet clinics in the county, I count myself lucky to have experienced Dr. Gary in person.
Yes, you will wait. Yes, he runs his clinic out of a bus. Yes, your visit will include shopping in a hardware store, and possibly buying garden plants while you wait.
My last visit was for removal of a golf-​ball sized cyst from my dog’s back that had opened. Dr. Gary took the dog to his home clinic overnight, returned him the next morning in perfect shape and it cost less than the tests another vet ran just to diagnose the problem. I hold Dr. Gary Roussopoulos in the highest regard.

Got my adopted adult dog examined, vaccinated, blood-​tested and prescribed… plus I got lots of advice, things to look out for, and encouragement. All in one visit and a follow-​up call! Thanks, Dr. Gary!

I just drove up from Santa Cruz to have Gary check on a tumor that my Golden Retriever has between his shoulders. We had already taken Skip to a vet in town who did a battery of tests costing us several hundred and told us that he needed all his teeth pulled and tried to get us to commit to an expensive pet insurance plan that wouldn’t pay for much. I had to weigh the thousands that the surgery would cost against the fact that Skip is elderly and it is not going to prolong his life. Gary checked his teeth and said they needed a cleaning, but he still needed them. He chipped some plaque off and told us the teeth should stay, but the tumor might eventually have to go. Gary is going to do the surgery when the time comes.
My dog Skip is usually traumatized by vet visits, but coming to Gary is like seeing an old friend. Decades ago, Gary made house calls. I first met him when was my mom’s animal’s vet. The only way that she was able to have her pets seen was by Gary because she was paralyzed and he came to her. He kept her beloved pets healthy and when it was time for them to go, he helped them, and her through that.
Gary is very down-​home. He works out of an RV in a plant nursery. If you expect a sterile, hospital environment, then he is probably not the vet for you. He doesn’t do a lot of tests, He doesn’t prescribe toxic flea medications. If that is what you are used to, and expect, then he might not be the vet for you. He is the right vet for me and my pets though, and I will keep coming to him as long as he has his doors open. I fear that when he finally retires, there will not ever be anotherlike him.

How awesome to see all the 5 star reviews for Dr. Gary! Took my dog in for a very painful infected, broken toenail. The nail had pieces broken off and splayed out in different directions. Our 100lb lab won’t let us get anywhere near his feet on a good day, let alone a hurt one. No muzzle. No restraint. No violent wrestling to pin him down. Dr. Gary simply made friends with him, and quickly trimmed the pieces away. He let Beau smell and lick the pieces and sniff his hands after each piece was removed. I was amazed. I was prepared in workout gear and a protein shake for a full on CrossFit style workout and was pleasantly disappointed! I love the fact that he works out of an old bus. It allows him to have no overhead and no staff and he can do so much there that would cost an absolute fortune in a conventional vet office. He’s saved me so much money over the years. Sometimes, the tendency is to hesitate going to the vet because of the crazy cost. With Mt. Vet, I know it won’t break the bank and my dogs don’t have to suffer unnecessarily because of financial concerns.
Thanks, Dr. Gary!

Dr. Gary is great. He is very down to earth and has always treated our pets well. I recommend him to everyone in san Lorenzo valley area.
