Why Client Reviews Matter to Us
What Santa Barbara Pet Owners Are Saying
The reviews below come from real families we are grateful to care for. Their words say more about our veterinary team than we ever could.
I’m always happy with the staff’s interactions with both my pets and me. Dr Kuesis has been our vet for years, but I’ve been using this clinic for 25 years. Lots of our pets have gone through their entire lives with this clinic. Services have always been great, but the compassion and time devoted near the end of life have been unbelievable!
I have had an amazing 15-plus years working with Dr. Holmes and the La Cumbre Animal Hospital staff. This week, my Westie and I were met in the waiting room by Dr. Holmes, the owner. She often sits on the floor in the exam room at eye level with my little Westie pup to lovingly examine her and keep her calm! In a few emergency situations, I have been able to get appointments quickly and with caring responsiveness. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Thanks to everyone at La Cumbre!
My big goofy lab cut himself in the yard, and La Cumbre got me in for same-day urgent care. Excellent customer service! The entire team was responsive, professional, and exceeded my expectations.
Maria and Jesus were extremely accommodating and helpful. Dr. Stotter was very gentle and kind. His wound looks so much better already.
I’m so appreciative of the care my dog received at La Cumbre Animal Hospital. Highly recommend!
I just adopted a sweet baby girl, Betsy, and we just signed up with this vet because of many, many recommendations. After my experience booking our first appointment and then squeezing us in to help me follow my breeder’s terms and make sure I didn’t breach any contract, I’m a huge fan. When I met our veterinarian and also the support staff, I was very happy and very confident with my decision. They were so friendly and so thorough, and you can tell they just love animals more than anything!!!
We are so excited to be part of the family at La Cumbre Veterinary!
La Cumbre Animal Hospital has proved over the past few years to be extremely reliable for our two dogs. The front desk is always kind, and the care that we have received has been incredible. Dr Holmes is very impressive, so loving, and always gives superior advice.
Fairly recently, we had an emergency with our golden retriever, and they helped us right in the middle of the floor at the front office; it was scary. They were so calm and quick, and I was crying hysterically. I’m happy to report our golden is happy and well now. I still owe them flowers.
Thank you to all the incredible doctors and staff at La Cumbre. Your love and care are far superior always!
My pets have been taken care of by Dr. Kuesis and the staff of La Cumbre Animal Hospital since 2005. I would NEVER go anywhere else for their veterinary care, Dr. Eve is the best vet I’ve ever known. Her medical expertise and professionalism are of the highest order as well as being extremely kind and very sensitive to all the different personalities of the animals I’ve brought to her for care. What I appreciate is that she gives options for treatment and the costs of each after the diagnosis has been made. No hidden costs and no “pushing” of products.
The entire staff, from the technicians who explain bandage care, the importance of managing the E-collars (also know as the cone of shame); they are courteous, kind and actually enjoy taking care of their clients. Follow-up calls to make sure both pet and owner are doing well and that there are no problems or questions.
I was really happy with my visit to La Cumbre Animal Hospital. All the staff I interacted with were super nice. I switched to this vet clinic on a friend’s recommendation, and I’m really happy I did!
I have brought my pets to La Cumbre Animal Hospital for many years. They are the BEST vets in Santa Barbara. They are not only the most skilled, but they are also the most loving animal hospital.
