Governor Animal Clinic - Heather Massey

Governor Animal Clinic has kindly and empathetically helped us through the worst of interactions and the best. During Covid we switched to GAC as they were accommodating of an emergency visit. Their staff is beyond kind and works so well with the nuances and needs of each patient. We have two very "vet anxious" German Shepherds and they help us with pre-visit preparation as well as a unique ability to work with the dogs thru their anxiety. The office is spacious and friendly and I'm so grateful for them!

I've had the best experience at Governor animal clinic for over 6 years. Dr. Benitez is by far the best vet I have ever had. They take great care of all my animals, have been super accommodating for urgent visits and last minute questions, and have done a great job explaining and proposing reasonable options when dealing with complex health issues including persistent allergies, as well as cancer treatments for one of my cats who has since passed. All the front desk staff and techs are always very kind and helpful as well.

All the staff has had prompt and professional service, I especially appreciate their excellent communication and attention to detail.

I have been taking my dog to Governor Animal Clinic for years. The vets and staff are caring and professional. They do not pressure you or shame you if you question a test or procedure. Recently I had a wonderful experience that promoted me to write this review. My 10 year-old dog was not eating or drinking. I brought him in and the doctor could not find anything wrong.

Instead of recommending expensive X-rays and blood tests right away (he just had blood work/fecal done a few months ago at his annual exam), the doctor suggested fluids and an anti-nausea shot and to bring him back for tests if he didn't improve. He came home and started eating and drinking and is now back to his old self. I drive from Carmel Valley to visit this clinic because I've tried several others and did not get this level of care and consideration and lack of up-selling!

Governor Animal Clinic is conveniently located at the University City Marketplace. The office is clean and tidy. The folks working there are all friendly and professional. Prices are fairly reasonable for the area.

Dr. findberg and staff are simply great. Could not be more happy with their professional service for my pup! So fortunate to have them!

Governor Animal Clinic took great care of my dog Ginger for over 8 years and they were amazingly gentle and thoughtful when we had to euthanize her several weeks ago.

I've been coming here for over 10 years and they are the best! Dr Benitez has always taken great care of my cats.

We had our dogs' teeth cleaned and had a great experience. The vet and Sue were excellent. They kept us informed and eased our fears. Highly recommend

Love! Love! Love! From the staff to who I consider the best vet in the entire world - Dr. Kirk Feinberg - Governors has taken amazing care of my Oso every time. You don't ever want to be in a position where you "need" a vet but it's great to know I have a phenomenal one when I do!

This is hands down the best clinic I have been able to take my puppies (and dogs) to. They are so kind and passionate about the work they do

Amazing job taking care of animals while social distancing! They have a great system down to keep everyone safe and still provide amazing care to our pets!

I absolutely love this place. I have gone to plenty of vets, most were just a business. This place is much more. You could tell they loved what they were doing. I was very relieved by their actions and care, to both my cat and to me. This is my new vet.

I haven't found a vet I've liked this much in years. After taking my 19 year old cat to a vet in Mira Mesa and feeling unsatisfied with the visit, my friend highly recommend this place. And I do too! Every staff member was very personable, friendly and so helpful. Some vets just want your $, other vets are there for the right reasons. They are. We found out after bloodwork that my girl has kidney failure and cancer.

The bill was a lot, but it made me feel better when they were willing to explain the details in depth and let us know what my cat truly needs and what she doesn't. I could go on for days with many more positive things about my visit! Thankful for honest vets like Dr. Marco!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! All of our dogs are seen at Governor. We have been using Governor for years and we have always had exceptional service! Leanne (front desk employee) always comes out and gives our boys pets. Funny because she had the day off on our last visit and one of our dogs was looking for her. I told him Leanne had the day off and as soon as he heard her name he perked up and got all excited. :) He didn't get pets while waiting in the lobby but he sure did get lots of love when he saw the vet! Happy Dog, Happy Dog Mom! Thank You Dr. Feinberg and staff! We love you guys!

I have gone to Governor Animal Clinic for years for my cats' and my dogs' care. The clinic staff are always professional (on phone and in person), kind and helpful. I have most experience with Dr. Kirkk Feinberg. He, in my opinion, is one of the best vets in SD. He is objective, practical (doesn't charge for unnecessary treatment), ethical and very professional. I would by all means recommend this clinic and the vets I have experience with.

Price: higher than average but with it location: convenient and never any parking issues (just off the 5/52) staff: all friendly and try genuinely to make things easier and friendlier doctors: all great, something for everyone so if you're not sure about your vet the first visit maybe try a different one next time. they are ALL wonderful and i have met with every one of them on different occasions with my multiple pets. they are all concerned with the welfare of your pets.
