Tamara Borland, VMD

There are many reasons my husband and I are so pleased with Dr. Borland. We followed her to Claremont Veterinary Hospital in Oakland from the far western suburbs because of her amazing diagnostic, medication, and surgery skills. We very affectionately call her «Dr. House» because of her superb observational skills, and she has saved our pets over the years from very unusual, subtle, and life-​threatening health issues. She couples her insightful big-​picture medical ability with a deep knowledge of disease processes, and catches even elusive problems before they become entrenched and pronounced. Her explanations and coaching really help to guide our choices toward best-​result options at the most reasonable cost and highest quality of life. She’s equally skilled at providing needed surgery and medication support. Our dogs adore her, and we rest easy knowing that she is watching out for them. One pup is a pedigreed purebred that needs monitoring for the usual genetic maladies, the other is a rescued mix breed with significant developmental issues. Dr. Borland easily handles both ends of their health spectrum. We are so very glad we took the time to come and see for ourselves what a terrific new place our dogs have for such great veterinary care with Dr. Borland.
