Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital

I called the vet yesterday because my new puppy was feeling ill and they were able to squeeze us in right away, which I was very thankful for.
Dr. Wagner and her staff were so good with my pup and eased his nerves. They were very gentle but thorough and they gave me a lot of great advice. Even though they squeezed us in, the whole staff took their time examining him, explaining things to me, and answering all of my questions. I’m very grateful that this great vet is right down the road!

We received exemplary vet care here for over a decade. It was the only place our Beagle Lucy ever knew. She was always greeted warmly and loved everyone here. Dr. Wagner, CeeJay and the whole staff are all caring and wonderful! She was in at least a few times a year for various check-​ups and ailments as well as bi-​monthly grooming visits. They were sad right along with us when we had to suddenly say good-​bye to her. A month later were back with a brand new puppy adopted from a shelter in Riverside (our was so sad and empty without a dog). The whole staff was so happy we had a new fur baby to love. I would never go anywhere else.

Dr. Wagner and her staff are amazing in every sense of the word. We met under very sad circumstances (we had to put our beloved English Bulldog down). We had to call the office very early that morning… quite a bit before Dr. Wagner was scheduled in. However, Dr. Wagner met us at her office so quickly to prevent any additional prolonged suffering of our dog and for that, we are beyond grateful. Our dog’s last night was very difficult and to see her at peace was both a relief but painfully sad at the same time. Happier news… we have two new pups now and they receive their loving and gentle care from Dr. Wagner. We will be lifelong clients.

Such a great friendly group of people. I work in the veterinary industry and recently had a dog I was pet sitting for come up with a bad case of hotspots. Dr. Wagner was so helpful. She got the medication to me ASAP. Also, CJ the technician was so great!

If you’re in need of a caring, excellent doctor to take care of your pet, Dr. Wagner and her staff provide excellent service. There is never a wait, and they love my dog. They are thorough and take their time with your animal. And there is always a follow-​up call to make sure everything is going well. Likewise, I can call them whenever I have a question or concern about my dog. Love this place!

I adopted my dog from the OC animal shelter and along with the fees of the animal adoption we also got a free full exam at this clinic. The office staff was very welcoming, friendly, and gentle with my new pup who was clearly scared and stressed from all his new surroundings. A few weeks after our dog came home with us he began having some other health issues and of course Dr. Wagner was very thorough and helpful with prescribing us appropriate meds and giving diet suggestions.
This clinic is great and very clean inside which is a must! I recommend this vet clinic to all pet parents!

I love dr Wagner and all of the office staff. We have been going here since our bulldog was only 8 weeks old. She is now 2 years.
I would recommend this place to EVERYONE!

Dr. Wagner was my vet for about 12 years, until I recently moved. She was the absolute best vet I have ever worked with, compassionate, skilled, caring, and gentle. She always took as much time as I needed, and was never over-​scheduled. I would particularly like to mention her astonishing diagnostic skills. It’s almost as if she’s psychic sometimes. She caught some very subtle signs and diagnosed my young cat with a thyroid tumor — very unlikely but she was absolutely right. The diagnosis was early enough so treatment was completely successful. She has never asked for an unnecessary test, she was always right in her suspicions and testing only confirmed her diagnosis. Don’t be misled by people griping about her office staff — the target of those complaints is no longer working there — and everyone whom I’ve encountered has been excellent and very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Wagner to anyone lucky enough to live within driving distance. My cats and I miss her.

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our beloved Miss Java. She was diagnosed with Liver cancer earlier in the week and the disease was taking over her body. It was by far the saddest thing I ever had to do. The entire staff at Metropolitan was exceptionally professional and accomodating and made Java feel safe until the very end.
Thank you Dr Wagner, Jeannette and CJ. Your compassion and empathy helped us know that we made the right decision.

I’ve been taking my dog here for 4 years. Prior to that my mother-​in-​law has been taking her animals here for over 20. They’ve always been very competent, and professional. I’ve always felt very welcomed here and the service has been excellent. Pat can be a little stern and sometimes comes off as a bit short but it’s never bothered me personally.
They know exactly who I am when I call and know my dog’s history without looking through a computer or paperwork. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here.

The front desk office manager pat is the worst ever. Dr Wagner is great but pat makes the place something to avoid. Very disappointing to say the least. My dog is in her senior years/​days and she actually threatened me about my dog not having a current license and bam, the next week I had a fine from the city. I have been a customer for years, pay on time and have multiple prescriptions for my dog which I maintain with them otherwise I would be gone immediately. Future pets will not see pat. If I knew pat didn’t work there, I might consider it, but the place needs a culture change due to her.
