I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone! The first sign should be the upkeep of the place. It looked and felt unsanitary, there are very outdated on their record keeping and unorganized and the doctor (to say the least) is uneducated on current clinical knowledge and experience. Lastly, through all my visits I only saw one other person bring a pet in.

I brought in my beautiful cat because while on my honeymoon for a week I came back to find her skinny and not eating. I brought her in and, after several tests and blood work, was told that she may have a UTI. I was given special medication and food, which alone cost over $300. After writing everything down BY HAND I was given a total close to $600. But my cat was worth it.

At the next visit she had to have several types of blood work, urine tests and a different medication was prescribed. This time my visit was cheaper--$480. Long story short, after a few more visits over 3 months, and a final total cost close to $2000, I decided to get a second opinion at Montecito in Martinez. One the very 1st visit the other doctor felt right away (in the same area that Dr. Kahlon always touched) that my cat had a tumor and yes, she ended up having cancer. By then it was large enough to have completely blocked off her urinary tract, making it difficult to urinate, causing a loss of appetite, weight and all the other symptoms associated with cancer. As I am in the health field (and experienced with cancer) I hate the fact that I overlooked these symptoms.

I hope others who attempt to give Dr. Kahlon a chance take a good look around at the facility, their record keeping and how much they value and love their pet and the quality of care it receives. My loving cat Sabrina was placed to eternal rest a week later, and the staff at Montecito couldn’t have been more supportive.

My two cats have been treated by Dr. Kahlon for ten years now. He has seen us through asthma and kidney issues. I am happy to report that I currently have two very healthy 16 year old cats and I attribute that to Dr. Kahlon. He is very kind, he takes the time to explain the disease process as well as treatment options. I feel blessed that I found Dr. Kahlon and I trust him with my most precious friends, my pets.

Great vet: Dr. Kahlon is very compassionate and professional. Exellent service and affordable prices. Will recommend to anyone.
