Testimonials

I drive up from San Mateo to Dr. Hoskins for anything crucial for my 2 GSDs. The bulk of the vets I've seen pretty much follow a script and of course charge an arm and a leg for the simplest of services hint, hint Adobe. FYI the bulk of vets I've spoken to have very little knowledge of the German Shepherd Dog. It's comical you know, I work right next door to Veterinarian and after rudeness and a general bias towards purse dogs (and a $200 bill to clip a nail and add styptic powder) I've never been back. Though it's quite a drive, Dr. Hoskins is my dog's doctor. He always returns calls promptly, even on surgery days. Speaks to me honestly and professionally with the dog's best interest in mind. Prescriptions are never a problem. I've shopped around 50% less than peninsula area vets... well it's a no brainer.

Sonny P.

Dr Hoskins is excellent. The receptionists and vet techs are great. They are really helpful and supportive. I traveled from San Mateo and the staff did everything they could to be supportive and available to the pet parent. I was able to get my questions answered. Also the fees were reasonable. We had to have an ACL and the vet did not add all of these excessive charges. My doggie is doing great and I highly. Recommend this group.

Stacie N.

I've been with Redwood Veterinary Clinic for around 15 years. Dr. Hoskins is one of the best diagnostitions that I've ever dealt with and the rest of the staff is fabulous as well, Dr Lee and Dr Llanes are wonderful and I always feel comfortable with them if I can't get Dr. Hoskins. Their work is very much appreciated by me.
