Veterinary Dental Specialties & Oral Surgery, San Diego CA

Super nice doctor and staff. Explained everything I needed to know and more about why my cat was sick and how and why a tooth needed to be removed.

Went here for a quote on my cats teeth, they were very caring, gentle, and comforting with her, easy to talk to, extremely thorough in describing what they could see, what options were available, advice concerning her health, and provided a full list of basic to potential items that could come up during the procedure. As a specialty dental office, they were a bit pricier than my husband would allow, however, I would trust the with any of my pets.

This practice needs psychiatric treatment. It is absolutely undeniably certifiably nuts. Took our dog in for a tooth extraction, and yes our dog is older, and yes our dog in on heart medication, and yes we were expecting to pay more, but the estimate we were given was so unreasonable, so out of this world that I literally felt a shock and weakness in the knees, followed by sadness and rage, so much so I immediately walked out of the clinic. I don't know who to blame, this particular clinic, or this whole predatory veterinarian specialty hospitals and services that are legalized thieves. Unless your dog or pet is a serious money maker, avoid this clinic at all cost.

My dog was referred to Veterinary Dental Specialists to see Dr. Neimic to extract some teeth and have a crown placed for a fractured tooth. The two procedures he had went so smooth and the doctors, techs, and anesthesiologist on board were awesome taking care of my anxious boy! I would never go to any other dog dentist in the world to get help for any pet I have. I am super grateful for their whole team and couldn’t be happier with my dogs teeth and health now. Thank you so much Dr. Hermanson, Dr. Neimic, and Anesthesiologist McNally?

I was looking for a place to take my tiger. I'm guessing this vet is the only tiger dentist with two hands!

Top notch. Caring, attentive, and professional. Our princess was treated like the royalty she is. We were treated with having to wait in the waiting lounge and it was fantastic. Early morning coffee, cookies, and our choice of DVDs. I can't recommend VDS enough. They kept us informed with updates and even let us go back and see her mid procedure. We will be back, well.hopefully we won't need to.

They not only took awesome care of our puppy who needed urgent oral surgery but they took care of me and my children in the lounge area! Games, movies, food, snacks you name it! They always made sure we were comfortable or if we needed anything. They made a stressful situation calm and easy even with two toddlers. They were transparent with the price and let us know when things were changing if we wanted to proceed. We had an amazing experience with this office and would recommend them to anyone needing a professional and caring opinion.

They did an awesome job on my German shepherd K9 teeth restoration, I had to bring in my other German shepherd and get his done also. Great staff all around.

The prices are outrageous and they try to take advantage of people. $3,000 to remove an infected tooth for our pet. You have got to be kidding me. Don't even bother going here.

So happy that I found this place, as my girl needed a dental really bad and has multiple health issues that made putting her under anesthesia a bit risky.

My girl first saw the dentist in the Ontario location, at which time she recommended their two other locations where a board certified anesthesiologist is present. Plus, it's one on one.

I got to meet the Dr. Niemiec and Erin McNally on the consultation at which time I was able to freely ask questions etc.

I would NOT have done the procedure without their board certified anesthesiologist.

Yes, the place is more costly that a regular vet, but they have so much better resources and technology available there. It's definitely worth the peace of mind.

Great staff; knowledgeable, friendly, great with my dog, answered all my questions and made the experience pleasant and comfortable for my dog. I highly recommend them for your pet’s dental care!

So caring Hazel recovered very fast no complications from her lengthy surgery hands down would recommend to any animal lovers

They toke care of my 12 y/o femeale pittbull dental surgery, she had many broken teeth that need it extraction.
I'm happy with the quality of service.
Beware! Dentertry for dogs is equally expensive as for humans, but your pet is worthy. Love your pet!

We have an English bulldog so are always very anxious if she needs to go under for anything. We’ve come here twice now, once for a root canal and once for a routine cleaning with a couple of extractions and we completely trust veterinary dental specialties with our girl. The staff are all professional and are more than happy to answer any questions/comments/concerns- they are very comfortable and experienced working with an English bulldog under anesthesia too. We are so happy we found Dr. Skinner, he was really informative and straightforward about everything that needed to be done. They are transparent about pricing and have taken the time to go over a price range/quote thoroughly during each of our visits. Price wise it is so worth it for their thoroughness, expertise and our peace of mind. After working with them there is no way we would take our baby anywhere else or to anyone else, they do an amazing job and it’s really apparent that they really care not only about the pets but about giving the pet parents great service as well.

Really quality dental care! Sure, it is more expensive then a regular vet but you can guarantee they are doing the best job here. Super informative consultation that involved photos & a drawing on an iPad. Also, extremely friendly front desk staff. All complex dental cases in SoCal should come here.

Our beagle was treated with respect and love as were we his pet parents. Dr. Fielder was very professional and kind and very thorough. We are thankful for you all.
