Peninsula Animal Hospital

Dr Cohen and his staff are great with our pets and we are glad we switched vets. Their follow up is attentive and quick. Costs are in line if not better than other options in the area. Dr Cohen is caring and a genuinely nice doctor.

I’m new to the are and was nervous seeing a new vet for my sick kitty. But this place was just like home and everyone was so nice. A plus in my books.

We take our cats and dog to Peninsula Animal Hospital. Dr. Cohen is great. He’s kind and knowledgeable and his staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. Cohen was instrumental in saving Loki’s, our cat, life. Loki had a blood deficiency, his platelets were very low, dangerously low. Dr. Cohen’s response, preliminary diagnosis and instruction led us to get the help we needed to save Loki’s life. I can’t recommend Peninsula Animal Hospital highly enough. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Dr. Aaron Cohen and his team.

What a great experience i’ve been having with Dr. Cohen at the Animal hospital in PG, i’ve got two puppies from SPCA, he is really sweet, not only my puppies are happy to be there but my two little girls also have fun when we visit, all the vaccines are covered by now and the staff are always nice and helpful, one of my puppies had an issue with a lump on his back and he made sure it was all good with exames, always on time and the place is clean! Thank you Dr. Aaron Cohen!

I love this veterinary office especially Dr. Cohen! All three of our elderly (17 years) animas come here: one dog, two cats.
Dr Cohen takes his time with the patients, never rushing through their care and being sensitive to their fearful state. I do NOT feel i’m on a pet care conveyor belt with pick a number care. I understand if the doctor is occasionally late because i know he is giving ALL his other clients the same great care he gives me!
Dr. Cohen does not over-​drug an animal always using what is most gentle and most natural first.
Pet care, like human care, is not cheap but Dr. Cohen obviously loves helping animals and is not a vet out to make an easy fortune.
The office is always clean and calm– a good place to bring sick and frightened little animal people.

No vet has ever treated my cat as great as Dr Cohen and his staff. This was my first time going to this doctor and because we move a lot I’m used to «take a number» customer service. I felt like he truly loves what he does. He made me fell very comfortable that everything was in good hands. Can’t express enough how great this experience was. Pricing was very fair, and they offer a great military discount! By the end of the visit my cat was literally eating out of his hands.

When the Veterinarian warmly greets your pet before introducing himself to you, you know your dog is in the right place for excellent care. [S]he is afterall, the patient.
When Dr. Cleary retired, Dr. Aaron Cohen assumed the practice. Dr. Cohen is wonderful. He’s an excellent diagnostician, he truly loves animals and he’s great with them and has an excellent «floorside manner» with all types of critters including dogs. He’s also great with people, thoughtful, an excellent listener, spends a goodly amount of time explaining what his diagnosis is and gives multiple (IMHO affordable) treatment options. While an excellent veterinarian, he also has a great sense of humor. His basic office fees are quite reasonable.
He did a surgical procedure on one of our retrievers and had our buddy bouncing around with renewed vigor and health within a week. AND AND he returns phone calls and does telephonic follow-​up (no charge) to see how your creature is doing. YES !!! And he’s genuinely concerned about their progress. Imagine that !
His fees are extremely reasonable for this area and his staff is equally well-​trained, informed, efficient and as passionate about their work as Dr. Cohen. They’re also as friendly and courteous as he is. The clinic is spotless, accredited by AAVHA, parking is a breeze, (barking is optional) easy to get to, available for Saturday appointments He makes judicious use of laboratory testing and doesn’t prescribe unnecessarily.
I actually rate his clinic and practice as a TEN !!! So do our friends.

We would recommend PAH to anyone who needs a caring, supportive and compassionate vet. We have taken our Alaskan Malamutes to first Dr. Cleary for several years, and then to Dr. Aaron Cohen since he took over this practice about a year ago. We were afraid we would not find another vet like Dr. Cleary, but Dr. Cohen is not only a knowledgeable and straightforward veterinarian, but a compassionate and caring individual as well. Our last dog was diagnosed with cancer, and Dr. Cohen immrediately referred us to Pacific Veterinary Specialists for treatment. Each time he got a report, he called us to check in, and months later when it was clear that our girl was at the end, he treated us with great kindness and compassion as we had to let her go. We are on the hunt for another dog, and can’t wait to take him or her to visit PAH just to get acquainted. They are the best!

The only reason I can’t take my babies here anymore is because I moved away. I first came to PAH about ten years ago when my cat had a seizure. Although it was almost time for them to close, they stayed late to treat my girl. Dr Blakemore was so friendly and compassionate and together, we kept Zeppy alive for three more years before congenital heart disease finally won. Dr Blakemore cried with me.
I have three cats now, who primarily saw Dr. Cohen. Dr Cleary has always been bright and cheerful when I saw him – nice, as the vets office is not a super fun hangout. Dr. Cohen is amazing and I am going to miss his care in the future. He loves animals, and it shows. Two of my cats are rather shy, and all the staff along with Dr. Cohen were so sweet to them, comforting them and talking to them. My third cat is a terror. Devil cat at the vet. Dr. Cohen was so patient with him, talking to him and agreeing with him about how terrible the vet was, while pippin hissed, swiped, groaned, spit, and growled. He us also great with after care, calling to see how everyone, especially pippin is doing after the visit.

I’m so glad I listened to a friends recommendation and took my aging Maltese to see Dr Cohen. He is new at this hospital and I know he will be a real asset to the animal lovers here on the Monterey Peninsula. First, my amazing vet, Kay Lubansky, is not practicing at the moment. I had nothing but respect and the utmost trust in her and her abilities to help me provide the best care for my animals and was not looking forward to finding someone new to treat my fur babies. The time came sooner than I hoped. Dr Cohen is very attentive, knowledgeable and quickly knew what to check Charlie for. I greatly appreciated his thoroughness, and the fact that he didn’t rush to do expensive (possibly) unnecessary tests in diagnosing a new condition.
The staff at this hospital is also friendly and knowledgeable. They seemed, well, happy to be there. Being a «worker bee» myself I always notice this and consider it an important part of the overall quality of the business or service I’m receiving.
So, overall, this is a 5 star operation!

I have been taking my animals here for years. Dr. Cleary and his staff have always been awesome. The care and treatment we have received have always been top notch. Dr. Cleary has always been up front with me and helped us make the right decisions for our animals. I will miss Dr. Cleary when he retires.

I would give this practic no stars if possible. Terrible pricing, unprofessional staff. Actually heard Dr. Cleary tell another staff member to charge a client additionally because their pet «bled alot in surgery» You have to be kidding! Please please please, don’t take your pet here.

They won’t quote any prices until they see your’ animal. I just adopted a puppy and asked if they had any packages for her… the response was «sorry, we can’t give you a price until we see the puppy!» so does that mean $ 50 or $ 500?

I can not review care as I have tried several times to call for an appointment. The first time it rang and rang no answer. When I finally got through I was given «holdplease» and on hold before I could go OK. I held for 10mins then hung up. I called back and they did not have appointments for weeks so I figure they are to busy for my business… NEXT.

I love this place, the staff is friendly and courteous. Dr. Cleary is just great!!! I have tried other vets on the Peninsula, but here is where I continue to come even though I don’t live right down the street any more!
I had to put one of my pets down last year and I have to say the staff and Dr. Cleary were not only caring, but just amazing through the whole process. I would definitely tell everyone to take there animals here.
