Mission Gorge Animal Hospital - San Diego, California

I have used Dr Lee for the last three dogs I have owned over a period of 20 years I find him to be very knowledgeable incompetent in his field. he took the time to explain to me what was going on with my dogs. he was able to imitate different forms of breathing to help explain what was going on. he showed me x-rays and explain them to me in detail. when I inquired about how various antibiotics etc worked and why he chose a certain ones I was given a thorough explanation. I was always grateful that he shared his knowledge with me. all my dogs did well under his care

I would only go to Dr Lee if you think your pet has something trivial. Dr Lee does not have the expertise or technology needed to uncover a serious medical problem. He did not for my dog at least.

I took my dog into Mission George Animal hospital due to discomfort and vomiting. I was told that the vomiting was completely normal and that the discomfort was due to a UTI. He was given antibiotics. His situation improved for a few days but after about 4 weeks he still in the same discomfort and was still vomiting. I brought him in again and was told he had another UTI and was given more antibiotics. His situation still did not improve...

I now take him to another vet, and they say they see no sign of a UTI. After going to a real vet, it seems like he either has cancer or IBD.

Mr Lee is a very nice guy but I would not trust him to uncover a serious medical condition in my pet.

We visited Mission Gorge Animal hospital some time ago, but our experience was so great we had to come back to leave a review. The entire staff was welcoming and very attentive. Dr. Lee was very thorough and informative! Helped our dog so much! After going to so many different vets, this was the one. It was also affordable which made it so much easier to be sure our dog got the care she needed.

my experience here was awful. I will never be back. my 14 week old puppy had a stroke due to a condition and we brought her in to be put to rest. He never examined her, and he barely spoke a sentence to us. He immediately brought her back for her catheter, and brought her back in the room and immediately started pushing the drugs into her. He never asked if we were ready or if we were okay or allowed us to say the last goodbyes. He gave the drugs, listened until her heart stopped. Told us she was gone and left the room. He left the uncapped needles laying on the exam table. Not to mention they also charged us incredibly high prices. I work for a vet, so I’m pretty well aware of how much things cost. He also came back in the room after awhile and I told him they needed to have someone grab my puppy that I wasn’t gonna leave her in there alone. He shoved my husbands hand out of the way when he was trying to pet her one last time. He made an already awful experience so much worse.

Dr Lee is the most amazing vet I have ever used. We have used him on and off over the last 17 years. He operated on my dog’s torn ACL and she was able to run around on it for years afterward.

When we moved I changed vets only because Dr Lee’s office was 45 min away. Whenever I want a second opinion or have a more serious health issue for my dogs I always go to him. He is extremely knowledge and fair prices.

The front desk is not managed as well these days. That would be my only complaint.

I am done with this vet. I have gone here multiple times, each visit was just okay, but today an unacceptable thing happened. I walked in with my dog and there was an unleashed, unattended dog sunbathing in the lobby window. As I am checking in, the unleashed dog approaches and gets into a fight with my dog. I knock the dog away with my knee and stay in-between my dog and this dog while the receptionist makes her way around the desk to grab the unattended dog. Turns out it was the vet’s dog. The receptionist apologized but not a word from the vet. Neither dogs were hurt, but that skirmish shouldn’t have happened in the first place. It pisses me off when people don’t leash their dogs outside of designated off-leash areas. It really pisses me off when people don’t leash reactive dogs. And it really really pisses me off when my vet is the one not leashing their reactive dog.

Dr. Lee thoroughly went over my cat’s test results when we got his lab work, chest x-ray, & urinalysis. I initially really liked him. However, between a span of November and July I kept bringing Chrome back for a cough and later on an ulcer to the nose. He kept prescribing amoxicillin and steroids.

I then took Chrome to Rose Canyon Animal Hospital where they reached out multiple times to get Chrome’s chest x-ray, which was never sent to them. Eventually we did an ultrasound to find out my cat had lymphoma.

Coughing is a number one symptom for lymphoma in cats. Had this been caught early on we could’ve possibly received chemotherapy extending my cat’s life.

At the end of the day Dr. Lee is an educated man, but he did not take the necessary steps in order to properly diagnose and treat my poor baby.

I took my dog to his office because I felt a lump in my dog's upper back. After he examined my dog he said the lump mostly is cancer and he said it was very aggressive, and she needed a surgery today. I was shocked and sad and full of emotions because I have just lost my other dog. My family and I decided to have a day with her before her surgery. We took her the next few days and without any test, he did 4 types of unnecessary procedures on her. She was cut from the top of her chest to the bottom of her stomach which end up getting an infection because her cancer grow back and her stomach started to stretch out, so after few days of surgery, sadly we had to put her to sleep. Dr. Lee did unnecessary surgery on my dog. we spend a lot of money. He never gave us the written instructions to follow after surgery. I am so sad and feel guilty that I didn't listen to my son because he was wondering why he wants to do surgery without doing a test. I feel horrible to have trusted Dr. Lee. I could have had more times with my dog if he wasn't money hunger.
