Eye Clinic for Animals, Animal ER of San Diego Reviews

Eye clinic has great vets and techs! Love from Catarina.

Dr Cooper is very clear and super nice when she is explaining what treatment to recommend. She has treated both my cats and they r doing excellent under her care. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend dr Cooper and all the staff for taking such great care of my furry babies. I just can t say enough great things about this particular eye clinic. They r awesome!!!!!!!!

The people are extremely nice here and help in every way possible.

Dr. Cooper is a wonderful and caring doctor. Her and her staff were extremely helpful when my sweet cat, Moses, was diagnosed with a rare nasal cancer. Highly recommend!

I took my pug/ chihuahua in for routine cataract surgery. Her eyes became very cloudy a few days after surgery. I called the office and was told to continue the eye drops. We went in for exam after exam because her eye site never improved. She was falling off the sidewalk and bumping into walls. Dr Strubbe minimized the whole thing and we continued on the same eye drops for over a year. One of these drops was Prednisone. I questioned the long term use of this as I was concerned about her developing Diabetes. He showed no concern at all. Just continue the drops 3 times a day. So, after a year and a half of my poor little dog getting eye drops 3 times a day, she developed diabetes. She became sicker and sicker and we had to euthanize her. I am very disappointed with not being told the truth while my dog progressively went blind, and the negligence of continuing a steroid for over a year

Love the staff! Even with covid and having to be parked in my car I could tell my little turtle Spike got loving exam day care. My turtle's eye issue is complicated and they provided alot of options without being pushy and had wonderful follow up. I will keep them in mind for my animals eye care in the future.

Was very happy with my experience with Benjamin, the technician, and Dr. Strubbe. Even though it wasn't the best news for our dog, Bubba, we felt they gave him the best care and understood to be gentle with him in his condition (he had cancer). Benjamin was very sweet and was very patient with my partner and I when we had to make some serious decisions for Bubba and referred us to a at home euthanasia vet that was so sweet to our fur baby in his last hours. Thank you for giving Bubba the best care and referring us to someone you trusted.

First off, Todd Strubbe is such a knowledgeable and skilled Ophthalmologist. He surgically treated one of our pugs who was starting to go blind from too much pigment on his cornea. After the operation, our dog Nacho has continued to have excellent vision and has not further diminished from best we can tell. Our other dog Buster was older and we opted for medical therapy (eye drops) and he s maintained his limited vision since then. I took one of our other dogs to a different Ophthalmologist who had terrible bedside manner, and who offered no treatment for our dog s eye problem. This is the place to go if your dog has eye problems.

Dr. Strubbe and the staff at VCA Eye Clinic have been amazing! My dog had cataracts in both eyes and was almost blind. Thankful he was a candidate for the surgery. It s been a year and a half and he is doing great with his eyesight.
The most important things that we have done is to diligently put the drops in his eyes EVERY day/several times a day, and to go in for eye pressure checks every 2 months & full time exams every 4 months.

I can't state enough how incredibly important it is to not only listen but DOCUMENT everything from the dog owners. We explicitly told the vet after them constantly pushing steroidal eye drops on our dog, that we are NOT interested. In her last checkup they added it in and my husband did not know what they were, he thought it was part of her regular drops that our dog needed for her healing. They did not tell him it was steroids. We were advised from another vet that we were with for years and trusted that this was a terrible approach for her eye condition. Thankfully we realized early enough. Plenty of other clinics for animal eye care.
