Dr. G is the best Vet! He saved my Jayda and removed all her mast cell tumors and she is cancer free! Dr. G also saved my foster Myla who was close to losing her life due to anemia and needed a blood transfusion but with Dr. G's help she didn't need the transfusion and with in a few weeks all her blood work was getting better and we didn't lose her! Capital Blvd Animal hospital has an amazing staff and affordable pricing compared to other vets in the area!!

I couldn't believe a well known cat expert in town completely missed my cat's dental problems after I even asked about his teeth and explained he was having symptoms of sensitivity to petting his cheeks and chin. Fortunately I went elsewhere for his annual, but by then he had been hurting a while and they could not provide dental treatment for over a month. A neighbor recommended Capital Blvd Animal hospital and Dr. Gonipeta immediately checked his ears for mites and infection, which I had not thought about. Then someone else told me not to go for the $199 cleaning special since the savings reflects

I am so pleased and relieved to bring my cat to this clinic and have examined by Dr.G. He explained well what is going on with my cat and provide me with choices on how to proceed with the intervention. He was very honest and disclose all the information that i need including the possible cost . He is not pushy and not demanding. I have experienced with other vet that i feel they were only after the money but not here in this clinic. And the staff Luke and front desk were very helpful and accomodating. My cat needed help right away and they were so pleasant to help me via phone and in person. I
