Our dogs have been patients for 15 years. Love Dr. Tran. Dr. Hempill is the best pet surgeon in the area. Love the new shade area. Our dogs got their rattlesnake shots outside and hardly knew it!

Mountain view animal hospital is the place to be for your pet! Been coming here for my baby and her needs, helping her get rid of pesky fleas, acupuncture for her arthritis pain, and wellness checks. Dr. Tran and her staff are absolutely amazing and give amazing specialty advice! As a bonus, my cat usually cries for help along the way to the vet, now that I come here she just sits and enjoys the ride. For sure will continue to come and highly recommend, small kitty approved!

We weren't sure if we were going to bring our Ginger home, but after two surgeries she now has her personality back and feeling so much better. No other animal hospital would take us since they were all at capacity, but they took her even though they have been short staffed. They saved our dog!

I've been bringing my fur babies here for over five years! Dr. Tran is amazing, she is genuine and Empathetic. Dr. Hempel is also great, he and Dr. Tran recently saved our family's new puppy's life. He's a 7 month Labrador retriever and ate a "Indestructible" foot long yes a foot long if not a little longer Kong toy. Dr. Tran and Dr Hempel we're so thorough and professional they made sure they got every piece of that toy that they reconstructed it to ensure no piece was left in our baby.
This is only one out of countless visit to their hospital. The staff is great just had one bad Encounter with a front clerk just know if you happen to run into that situation with that individual just ask for Noel she's the greatest and don't allow that one bad seed to create weeds around such a beautiful hospital with two great Doctors especially Dr. Tran.
