I am so beyond grateful for this wonderful place! My sweet hen caught a bacterial infection from some chickens I practically rescued from Western Farm Center in downtown Santa Rosa. I was so worried she wouldn't make it especially because nowhere would take her on a Saturday. But I was able to find this amazing place and she got seen by Dr. Lane. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing Dr. Lane is!

She called twice to check on my hen and also prescribed the rest of my flock a broad-spectrum antibiotic! All the staff are so friendly and caring! I'll definitely be going here with any of my chickens from now on even though the drive is a bit long, totally worth it!

I have been taking my dog Benji to Memorial Beach since I adopted him in 2017. This Veterinary hospital is so wonderful and caring that Benji gets excited every time we bring him to the vet. We usually have trouble making him wait until it's his turn to go inside! Even after we moved to Rohnert Park, we still choose to commute to our favorite vet. We have received excellent care from Dr. Jorgenson, Dr. Marty, and Dr. Lane as well as all the wonderful techs.

Without question the best Vet in the Bay Area, and would recommend to anyone that is looking for stellar health care for your pets. Although Smaller than the bigger chain Veterinary hospitals, memorial beach will always have your pets best interest at heart.

Took two of my bearded dragons in for their first visit with this vet. She was wonderful and helpful! I appreciated her help. I also appreciated her not making me feel like a horrible pet owner when I couldnt afford many procedures at once. Thanks!

I'm new in town-My poor chicken came down with a horrible sinus infection-I thought there was no hope. Memorial was KIND enough to SQUEEZE her in rather than let her die. She's on antibiotics and pain meds! She's gonna make a full recovery! And they were AFFORDABLE! I got my new forever vet!

I have been going to Memorial Beach Vet Hospital very often since we have two dogs and three cats and Dr. Marty has been a great vet to them. Dr. Marty is very knowledgeable, diligent and smart. She treated a granuloma on one of my dogs and I was amazed at how well the treatment worked. I feel very confident that I can rely on MBVH to keep my pets healthy. Please allow me to add that MBVH has great Vet Techs. Thank you MBVH, you are great!

We are in the process of moving to Santa Rosa and we're referred from a neighbor to Memorial Beach Vetinary Hospital when my dog was suffering from a hematoma. Dr Marty saw him right away and he was good as new a few hours later. This was all during Covid and everyone was very professional using safe protocol. We are going to be transitioning full time and are happy to have found such lovely professional, caring doctors, technicians and assistants. I would highly recommend this Vetinary clinic.
