Midtown Veterinary Clinic, Newbury Park CA

Today my dog underwent a large lipoma removal at MidTown Veterinary Clinic.

Not only was Dr. Strieby incredibly thoughtful and informative, the bill came in under estimate and they released my dog early.
They were receptive to my needs and were gracious when I opted out of certain recommendations.

We are clients for life.
Thank you!

Asked about the prioritization of my dogs health and he left a rude remark about how his dog would never look like this. Then said he can make a list and to tell him what to start with. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere and I recommend everybody do the same. Arrogant and disrespectful vet with no regard for my dogs health. Go somewhere else

I called 5 minutes before they closed for my dog Leopold who was having a medical emergency. What an amazing team of humans. They are so incredibly kind and helpful. I'm so grateful They waited until we got there and were able to see Leo promptly, and with some medication and instruction from Dr. Thomas Leo made a full recovery in just a few days. Thank you so much for all that you do for the community. - From one grateful dog Mom and Leo Thanks you too!

Dr. Thomas is an excellent Veterinarian. He and his wonderful Staff are kind, gentle with my animals, and answer all my questions. My Pets have been Patients for 20 years and I would never go to another Doctor. Dr. Thomas is also an excellent surgeon, repairing a torn ACL in my Scottish Terrier. He recovered beautifully. I highly recommend this Office for all your Veterinary needs.

Rip Off!
Spent $500 on blood lab work for my 2 dogs because I was told they need their teeth cleaned. Got a second opinion and neither dog need their teeth cleaned at this time! Complete money driven office! Plus the doctor is SUPER RUDEand unfriendly, can’t imagine how he treats my dogs if he’s rude to me! Done with this place…! It’s the WORST!

Midtown Veterinary Clinic really went out of their way to help us. We found out that we needed a last minute vaccine to be able to board our pup. They fit us in at 545PM on a Friday night 15 minutes after we found out we needed the shot. They really helped us out! We appreciate the great service.

One morning our pocket beagle wasn't herself difficult walking would't eat and (she always likes to eat) we called our regular vet and they couldn't see her untill the following week. A friend recommended Midtown and they squeezed her in that day! Dr Thomas was awesome he did an exame diagnosed the problem and prescribed some medication, the office staff where great friendly and helpful. Our beautiful Abrie is back to her hungry self.

My senior dog was having difficulty urinating suddenly and I was unable to get her in to any of my local vets for over a week out! I called Midtown this morning and they were so kind and helpful - they squeezed us in and were very compassionate and thoughtful with me. I was worried about this being an end of life problem and Dr. Thomas helped ease my mind and provided great instruction on how to keep her healthy and happy! Well worth the drive if you are no longer local - only vet I will go to now!

This is an awesome place to bring your beloved pet I got a same-day appointment and we're very helpful. A special thank you to Dr. Ryan Folse for treating my dog Max and making him all better

Caring Hands, my usual go-to vet was filled up, so when my dog’s eye was weeping and he was squinting I took my dog here.
After paying the substantial fee my dog was returned home with drops.
-0- improvement.
My dog was taken back in, fee again paid, doc said “dog is fine”.
I e’mailed the clinic explaining that my dog’s eye was still weeping, he was still squinting. I asked why?
No response.
I phoned today, August 14. I reiterated the history. I told them that I did not want to have to pay -again- for a problem that has not been addressed.
I had explained from the beginning that this very thing had happened a couple years back and that when original drops did not work he was then Rx’d another type of drop plus an ointment - which did the trick.

This must have not phased the doctor who simplify wanted me to come back in yet again and pay a third time, saying he would “just recheck” - which is what he had said the second time.

This whole time my dog (a very intelligent Aussie) has been in irritated pain.

I have had every kind of animal for decades, and if you are an animal lover, you know what I’m taking about when I say that you know when something is wrong with yours.
I have vast and years of experience with veterinarians — I found this vet to be on the incompetent side and I will never go back here.

They saw my ginny that very same day I email a few places asking if they had drs that work with Ginny pigs! Upper respiratory infection he is on and I by Antibiotics now and seems to be doing much better, checking back in on monday! Thank you to this vet and the people working here!

This is the second time Dr. Thomas has pushed expensive treatments or procedures on us without justification. Dr. Thomas relies on scare tactics so you will immediately let him operate on your pet. This was the last time I am setting foot on that practice.
