St Helena Veterinary Hospital

Absolute professional. We have been taking our dogs, cats, goose to Dr.Gold and his staff for 10+ years. Always compassionate and helpful. Without hesitation I would recommend St.Helena Veterinary Hospital to care for your beloved pet.

This man's negligence cost my cat its life. He charged $500+ for tests and then sent me off with antibiotics. Said he would call with the results if anything came up, but he never did call. Two weeks later my cat is lethargic, and I have to wait until Tuesday after the holiday to call in. Well, he died that Monday night. I call to inform them and introduce myself and they hurriedly start telling me they need to switch his antibiotics. Why couldn't they have called me? It doesn't take two weeks to get results. The kicker? I brought my cat in because he was sick and it was determined to be a bacterial infection. They insisted the cat get a rabies vaccine as if that couldn't wait. It probably weakened his immune system. I'm so tired of greedy and dismissive vets. Do yourself a favor and fin

Dr. Gold is an excellent veterinarian and a really good person. I have known him for almost 30 years and he does a great job. He knows a whole lot about veterinary medicine. If he doesn't know something he will find someone who does. He's a people person- a really good communicator. Very generous of heart- he care about people and their animals. I highly recommend Dr. Gold and St Helena Vet.

We have been very happy with Dr. Gold and all the staff. We have seen him several times when our dog was sick and he has never recommended the most expensive treatment. I am a wait and see kind of mom, and I feel as though he respects that and gives me options. We also bring our dog in for monthly nail trimmings. Unlike a groomer, we make an appointment and the clippings are quick and reasonably priced. The staff is so friendly and really gentle and knowledgeable. This is our vet forever!

Great vet, we saw him for a second opinion and he really makes an effort to understand your animal. We were told our dog would need to have surgery immediately at our original vet (after giving him 4 x-rays; at least two of which were unnecessary in our opinion) in spite of a history of passing/throwing-up objects and his general good/normal disposition. Dr. Gold gave us the knowledge and confidence to monitor him and eventually our dog threw-up the object, without the need for surgery, or even x-rays. His office also had excellent availability for urgent calls and regular checkups. I would highly recommend Dr. Gold to anyone with a pet that is looking for someone who takes the time to get to know your animal on an individual basis and doesn’t immediately call for treatments that symptoms
