pawenn summary of 12 Google reviews from April – October 2026
Many reviewers speak warmly of Dr. Guajardo, his veterinary associates, and the front desk staff for their attentive and caring approach. Clients appreciate that practitioners handle routine exams, microchip scans, and end-of-life care with genuine empathy. While one pet owner questioned a clinician's diagnostic skill, the general consensus reflects dependable, respectful staff.
Most clients report good medical outcomes for dental extractions, puppy vaccinations, and routine neutering surgeries. However, one owner experienced a missed diagnosis of an anal gland abscess that required an urgent trip to an emergency hospital after initial probiotics failed to resolve the infection.
