Greek Jean DVM - Santa Barbara, California

Mike Below

I am not on social media. I never write reviews. I don't complain about restaurants even if the service is poor or if my order gets messed up. I work in the service industry and I understand things don't always go right and that's just life. But I am compelled to write this review because my experience felt callous, money driven, and it sure didn't seem like my dog's wellbeing was taken fully into account. Just check out the photos.

My 2 year old beagle had a small hairless spot on her nose. Dr. Greek thought it was a vasculitis lesion and recommended a 4mm punch biopsy and said there would be minimal scarring. I went ahead with the procedure and kept the cone on for 2 weeks. Never got a call about the biopsy and had to call in myself to followup. I was told over the phone that the spot was just folliculitis and not any type of lesion. (I had my beautiful girl cut for folliculitis!) After the 2 weeks, I brought my girl back in to have her sutures removed and was expecting some sort of followup from Dr. Greek. Was the procedure successful? Did anything look amiss? But instead I didn't hear anything from Dr. Greek. When I called the office I was told that my girl was only seen by a tech to have the sutures removed. Dr. Greek didn't even take the time to take a look at the area to see if all had healed correctly. I also didn't receive any paperwork after the sutures were removed. No written test results from the biopsy.

I brought my girl in for a 4mm indent with no hair and now she has a much larger patch of no hair and when I called the office to try and get a bit more information on what I should expect from the recovery, I was told I would have to pay for another followup appointment. I paid nearly a grand for the procedure and I couldn't even get a final opinion from the Dr. on how it all went and what to expect moving forward.

All I can hope is that the hair grows back. It sure would've been nice to get some sort of reassurance from the Dr., but my girl and I were apparently not worth her time. The communication was great up until I had the procedure done and my money was taken. But after they had my money, it really seemed like they could care less about me and my girl.

I trusted Dr. Greek. I wouldn't recommend you do.

My rescue standard, "Peaches" came to me with a horrible itchy skin issue. Peaches was chewing and scratching non stop...sores, redness, bald patches and stained coat (she is cream). Delighted to say, Dr. Greek handled/s Peaches with great care and knowledge. No more itchiness, a good grip on the source of the problem...happy owner and deliriously happy Peaches here!

Dr Greek is wonderful, as her staff. They are helping me improve the quality of my cats life. They respond promptly, are extremely knowledgeable, kind and professional!

All the positive reviews should say enough- Dr. Greek is amazing! I work at another vet on the central coast and after 3 years of trying to fight off my big bulldogs allergies with special foods, supplements, medications and injections I said enough. 6 months later she's on a routine of 1 allergy injection every 4 weeks and her allergies are in check. For the first time in years my dog is not constantly chewing her skin, licking her legs or scratching her neck raw!
The amazing results would be enough, but on top of that they can always get me in when I need, even though I have a tough work schedule and live 60+ miles away, and Dr. Greek is just so dang nice! She has a great bedside manner, spends plenty of time with us and, most importantly, my dog loves her and feels completely at home in their office!

Our cat had an inflammation in one of her paws. The vet that we initially went to recommended that we take her to Dr. Greek, who was very accommodating and ewxwicws her within the next hour so we didn't have to make another trip with our cat to the city. Dr. Greek saw what the problem was right away and set up the treatment program, which worked well. In the remainder of the process she has been very accessible for follow-up. We highly recommend her. She has vast experience and has good judgment, knowing what is really necessary and what is not.

A friendly warning to this type of therapy. To all the people who are looking for a solution that won't run you up financially. I can't say I'm not jaded but, I am truly sick of a world that takes money for faulty products and therapies with no accountability. It's rampant.
DVM Greeks therapy actually exasperated my dogs condition. After multiple attempts of informing her of this, she repeatedly had us stop and restart the antigen therapy to my dogs dismay... For 3 months. At the 2nd month, they began to hear us. They back pedalled in saying their therapy couldn't possibly be the problem but they might know what's causing it...
I was then told the oral antigens that we were initially given could possibly be causing more harm than good and that we would have to switch to an injectable and... We would have to purchase injectable antigens which would be "less likely to cause such a reaction." Unbelievable. (If you choose to go with this therapy go with the injectable to avoid such a catastrophe.) $300 down the drain to a compound that made my dogs condition worse? +$300 more to purchase the injectable.
I was desperate as my dog was suffering greatly. Greek put him on Prednisone, antifungals, apoquel, shampoo... The Kitchen Sink. This was his only remedy to the severe condition he was now in thanks to this "95% success rate therapy." I admit I left a scathing voicemail, not unwarranted, as Greek is not enthusiastic about speaking with clients. She then cut us from her care and all communication as I sought more meds for my dog. The only remedy in her cabinet to an animal she left worse than when she found it. No accountability.

After my own research I found a homemade food recipe that has all but cured my fury friend. FOOD. The most likely culprit to your problem. Try this before you go down this very expensive path. Trust me. I spent thousands in veterinary medicine to no avail.
Message me and I will gladly send the recipe.
Beware of money driven practices.

Our dog was suffering from debilitating allergies. We tried changing his food, shampoos, supplements, etc. Nothing was working. He had no energy and would just lay around looking miserable or lick his paws. We finally took him to Dr Greek she got him back to his old self in less than a day. He even got the zoomies for the first time in months. The difference was remarkable. Thank you Dr. Greek!

My Chocolate Lab has been seeing Dr. Greek at her remote office in Ventura for a few months now. I got tired of spending thousands of dollars on ear infections and skin infections and I finally said it was time he see a dermatologist.

The allergy test alone was worth it and eye opening. My dog ended up being allergic to house dust, hickory, and maple among many other things. This made me realize that me allowing my dog to eat some bacon here and there was actually extremely bad for him.

Dr. Greek is the best Veterinarian I've taken my dog to she really cares and I don't feel rushed when I talk to her; because of COVID I haven't actually met her but she'll call me when I'm waiting outside and talk to me for 15 minutes going over things to make my dog feel better.

Highly recommend.
