The staff, from the Vets to the Vet-Tech to Front Desk crew, all are helpful, caring, friendly, knowledgeable. The staff genuinely cares about you and your cat. I have been going there monthly for the past 6 years as my many toed Torti requires a careful pedicure. Of course she has the staff completely fooled, they think she is just sweet and cute, little do they know that she has been a total skitzoid trying to get here to the vet today, leaving me totally done in. But that's ok, that's what we humans are here for, I'm firmly convinced of it. On a health note, hats off to the Vets for their progressive, modern medicine. They have kept my girl-kitty happy & healthy as she enters her middle age, I could not ask for anything more.

Really friendly and knowledgeable. They are especially good with our asthmatic cat who had chronic sinus infections and allergies. I was willing to drive from Oakland to take our two cats to see them because they were so good.

Friendly staff is really what makes this place top notch. Also the the fact that they really care about every animal that comes in is a huge plus. qIf you're looking for a vet for your cat, this is one of the best options around the bay area. *Don't trust the review of Puja. That lady is obviously being a princess over one incident. I've cancelled last minute before and they rescheduled me for another day.

Dr Carter and all the staff are really caring, knowledgeable and try to do the right thing without pushing too many medical procedures. I love the place – my kitty doesn't really but that's understandable. We've been going here for 10 years now.

I love Especially Cats and the high quality of care they provide. I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance and they have been accommodating with making quick appointments when My cat needed a vaccination before travel and when I worried about why he had peed on the rug. I should also add I found their prices to be very reasonable for vet care in the city. Even if I move out of Parkside, I plan to continue care here. :)

I am a mom to a "difficult patient" (she even scares me when we go to the vet), but Dr. Carter has always been super compassionate and caring with my baby, even when she's growling and spitting. She does a great job of paying attention to my reactions and reassuring me as well! I also feel well-informed about the diagnosis and treatment options, and when my cat needed some teeth extracted, Dr. Carter did a great job. She and the office staff are also willing to file claims to my pet insurance for me, which is great! I highly recommend this place.

Dr. Wilson is amazing! Seems extremely knowledgeable and is very thorough. She spent a lot of time carefully explaining our options when my cat broke a bone in his paw and listened patiently to all of our questions and concerns. I trust my cat going here more than anywhere else I’ve taken my animals so far.

I switched from SFSpca pacific heights campus to especially cats a couple of years ago because they are much closer. I really liked them until now. I know they are not 24 emergency after hours but that is what places like norcal vet emergency does. Anyway, bianaca, my sixteen year old cat was dying her legs collapsed and she was so lethargic. I called ec on a Thursday and the were too booked to see her until Saturday so I made an appointment. On Friday Bianca got worse so I called and begged them to see her any time that day. They could not. They were booked. I took her to NorCal vet emergency where she died in my arms. Ec specifically states on their website that during their business hours they are prepared to handle the emergency needs of our pets. They clearly do not care. They would not even look at my precious cat who told me me in her cat way that her time has come. I do not dislike ec, and I hate writing this type of review. But I am appalled that they would not help Bianca. That is their job! Thank god bianca died with care and dignity and she never knew that someone did not care about her. I am sorry, deeply sorry for this review.
