My girlfriend and I brought one of our cats Sabrina into Woodside Vet on a couple occasions. The staff at Woodside Vet are nothing short of extraordinary. They were professional, caring, and gentle with our pet. We spoke with Dr. Connor, and she took the time to answer all of our questions sincerely. The way she handled our pet was incredible. We were so comforted knowing that our pet was in good hands. I highly recommend this veterinarian for professional, empathetic and quality care.

I really had hoped this would work out for my kitty Tommy as it is so close to home, but unfortunately this past year has been a disappointment. Tommy has a history of dental decay/ extractions, which was my main concern at his last annual exam in June. There was no mention of concern regards to Tommy's teeth post exam when I spoke with Dr. Polumbo via telephone, but I was provided with a dental estimate to have his teeth cleaned.
A couple of months past and in September I reached out to RWC to clarify what procedures they thought were necessary based on the DVMs assessment. Basically emails were exchanged, but I was told I would be called (it didn't happen). I did not receive any clear information, but received an adjusted estimate for dental services that may be performed while Tommy is under anesthesia.
In October I called to schedule an appointment and the soonest appointment for the dental procedure was December 10 th. The week of TG I noticed slight changes in my cats demeanor. My daughter took him into the bathroom and performed an oral exam ( which is why sometimes owners should be allowed to accompany the pet) and she saw decay and swelling.
I called both Portola and Woodside on 11/26/21 and both clinics were closed until the following Monday, I left phone messages at both Woodside Village and Portola Valley requesting a sooner appointment for Tommy. I also sent an email to Dr St Lawrence expressing my concerns. As of 11/30/21 no reply from either Portola Valley Or RWC locations. Fortunately I searched Yelp and found Tama in Milpitas. Tommy was evaluated on Sunday 11/28/21 ( exam and prescriptions x 2 $128) Today, 11/30/21, Tommy had dental surgery and a biopsy to rule out oral cancer.
Village Square recorder line states phone call would be returned on the next business day. Dr Polumbo and Woodside Village did not contact me until 12/3/21.1 week later!( I love my 12 yo and 18 yo kitties and I do not want them to be in discomfort for a prolonged period of time). I was so pleased with my experience at Tama and appreciated the appointment availability open 7 days per week for both routine and emergency services.
It was worth the 20 minute drive. The staff and Veterinarian, Dr Hoene, have been personable, kind, and compassionate. Tommy has oral cancer. His mouth should have been checked in June. Why does a cat need to go under anesthesia to have his mouth and gums routinely examined? My daughter and Tama Vet examined Tommy's mouth within minutes. Please choose your vet wisely and insist on accompanying your pet to ensure a thorough exam.
As an RN, family members are now allowed to accompany the patient during a visit with a physician. Veterinarians are less likely to contract covid if you accompany your pet at the appointment.

Our dog Maker loves this place! Everytime we are close he recognizes the smells of warmth, kindness and compassion. The staff here are great and are very responsive to include the doctors returning phone calls in a timely manner. We have been going here a long time and will continue to do so, due to the great customer service and their love for Maker!

The service is out of this world, this beautiful girl doctor's comes out with the smile of an angel, and she is just the most gorgeous doctor ever, if you talk about angels among us well she's one of them, I went there today to take down a friend's dog, so sad, but this two angelic doctor's made the day shine so bright and beautiful, keep up the good job lady Angel's.

I have been taking my dog and cat here for over a year. They have performed two surgeries for lipoma removal on my dog and dental extractions. Their prices are reasonable and the staff is amazing! They have always been extremely responsive and treat my pets like they are their own. Our friend who works at a different vet office actually recommended them and now we are customers for life!

Ollie had spinal surgery for herniated discs in his lower back a few months ago in Houston. With a lot of after care, he did very well. We moved to California 2 months ago and he continued to recuperate until a few days ago. Same congenital problem. Took him to emergency care at another clinic because Ollie was in pain and began dragging his foot. An anti-inflammatory/pain reliever, sedatives and confinement were prescribed.
We could be looking at more surgeries. Took Ollie in to our regular vet at Woodside Vetinary Clinic where they suggested we try an alternative to surgery and another long, painful recovery. Acupuncture. I was apprehensive, but the doctor explained the procedure in great detail and how many dogs find relief (in addition to lifestyle changes). Very calming and caring staff.
Day 1 immediately after acupuncture, Ollie is calm and relaxed. Also started an anti inflammatory/neuropathic pain reliever, Ollie appears to be pain free and is eating and wagging his tail again. Not so when he was previously sedated and in a zombie state all day. Day 2, still pain free. Will see how it goes after 2 more sessions. Surgery would be the last alternative. Here is Ollie relaxing during his first session. Can barely see the needles. Will update.
